Nazi propaganda


Propaganda, the coordinated attempt to influence public opinion through the use of media, was skillfully used by the Nazi Party in the years leading up to and during Adolf Hitler's leadership of Germany (1933–1945). Nazi propaganda provided a crucial instrument for acquiring and maintaining power, and for the implementation of their policies, including the pursuit of total war and the extermination of millions of people in the Holocaust.


As to the methods to be employed, he explains:

"Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favourable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to its own side.

00:58:22


Jean-Luc Picard: Reports of my assimilation are greatly exaggerated. I found something you lost.

Lily Sloan: [ gasps at the sight of Worf ]

Worf: I am a Klingon.

Jean-Luc Picard: Mr. Worf, report.

Worf: The Borg control over half the ship. We have tried to restore power to the Bridge and the weapons systems, but we have been unsuccesful.

Jean-Luc Picard: We have another problem. I've accessed a Borg neuroprocessor, and I've discovered what they're trying to do. They're transforming the deflector dish into an interplexing beacon.

Hawkes: Interplexing?

Jean-Luc Picard: It's a subspace transmitter. If they activate the beacon, they'll be able to establish a link with the Borg living in this century.

Beverly Crusher: But in the twenty first century the Borg are still in the Delta Quadrant.

Jean-Luc Picard: They'll send reinforcements. Humanity will be an easy target. Attack the Earth in the past to assimilate the future.

Worf: Then we must destroy the deflector dish before they can activate the beacon.

Jean-Luc Picard: We can't get to deflector control or a shuttle craft - Mr. Worf, do you remember your zero-g combat training?

Worf: I remember it made me sick to my stomach. What are you suggesting?

Jean-Luc Picard: I think it's time that we took a little stroll.

Plot Summary for

Vertigo (1958)


Police detective John 'Scottie' Ferguson is asked by an old college friend, Gavin Elster, if he would have a look into his wife Madeleine's odd behavior. Lately, she's taken to believing that she is the reincarnation of a woman who died many years ago and Elster is concerned about her sanity. Scottie follows her and rescues her from an apparent suicide attempt when she jumps into San Francisco bay. He gets to know her and falls in love with her. They go to an old mission church and he is unable to stop her from climbing to the top of the steeple, owing to his vertigo, where she jumps to her death. A subsequent inquiry finds that she committed suicide but faults Scottie for not stopping her in the first place. Humiliated and haunted by what has happened, he leaves the police force. Several months later, he meets Judy Barton, a woman who is the spitting image of Madeleine. He can't explain it, but she is identical to the woman who died. He tries to re-make her into Madeleine's image by getting her to dye her hair and wear the same type of clothes. He soon begins to realize however that he has been duped and was a pawn in a complex piece of theater that was meant to end in tragedy.
