How They Deceive You

Propaganda

D

Heavily misleading due to factual errors like fabricating a US-Iran war, unverified claims, dysphemistic labeling, cherry-picking failures, and omissions of geopolitical context.

Main Device

Dysphemistic Labeling

Repeatedly calls the Secretary of Defense 'Secretary of War' and the DoD 'Department of War' to evoke negative historical connotations and prejudice readers against the AI policy.

Archetype

Anti-interventionist restraint advocate

Authors from Quincy Institute, an anti-militarism think tank funded by Soros and Koch, publish in left-leaning The Nation to critique US military tech adoption.

This piece deceives by inventing a US-Iran conflict, using loaded slurs like 'Secretary of War,' and cherry-picking tech failures to portray the AI strategy as reckless warmongering.
