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.

ComSubPac had once been as grand a goal as any many might have, but that was one more thing of history. The first great commander had been Vice Admiral Charles Lockwood, and of all the men who'd defeated Japan, only Chester Nimitz and maybe Charles Layton had been more important. It was Lockwood, sitting in this very office on the heights overlooking Pearl Harbor, who had sent out Mush Morton and Dick O'Kane and Gene Fluckey, and the rest of the legends to do battle in their fleet boats. The same office, the same door, and even the same title on the door - Commander, Submarine Force, United States Pacific Fleet - but the rank required for it was lower now. Rear Admiral Bart Mancuso, USN, knew that he'd been lucky to make it this far. That was the good news.
The bad news was that he was essentially the receiver of a dying business. Lockwood had commanded a genuine fleet of submarines and tenders. More recently, Austin Smith had sent his forty or so around the world's largest ocean, but Mancuso was down to nineteen fast-attack boats and six boomers - and all of the latter were alongside, awaiting dismantlement at Bremerton. None would be kept, not even as a museum exhibit of a bygone age, which didn't trouble Mancuso as much as it might have. He'd never liked the missile submarines, never liked their ugly purpose, never liked their boring patrol pattern, never liked the mind-set of their commanders.

"Good news, Skipper," a voice called without warning.
"Who the hell let you in?"
"I have an understanding with your chief," Ron Jones replied. "He says you're buried with paperwork."
"He ought to know." Mancuso stood to greet his guest. Dr. Jones had problems of his own. The end of the Cold War had hurt defense contractors, too

"Sure looks empty out there." Jones pointed to what had once been one of the greatest naval facilities ever made. Not a single carrier in view, only two cruisers, half a squadron of destroyers, roughly the same number of frigates, five fleet support ships. "Who commands Pac Fleet now, a chief?"

Classic Clancy -- Jack Ryan Returns, And The Bad Guy This Time Is Japan
By Melinda Bargreen
"Debt of Honor" by Tom Clancy Putnam, $25.95
He's back!
Yes, all you fans of "The Hunt for Red October," "Patriot Games," and the rest of Tom Clancy's bestselling techno-thrillers. Clancy's newest, "Debt of Honor," is poised to assault bestseller lists yet again - not as a submarine, silent and stealthy, but as a nuclear warhead, the same kind that the Japanese are . . . oops!
We don't want to give away the plot here, though there is plenty of plot to give away, in what is probably Clancy's most complicated and ambitious international potboiler yet.
After the mean-spirited and sadistic "Without Remorse," it's a relief to have that novel's claustrophobic atmosphere lifted in a novel that will be long remembered for its energy and exuberance. Unfortunately, "Debt of Honor" also will be remembered for its xenophobia. Japanese villainy - corporate, political and military - is the central threat here, and there are so many racial slurs that you may think you're reading World War II propaganda.
Back in the land of acronyms
We're also back in the world of Clancy's favorite military-bureaucratic abbreviations: CINCPACFLT and ComSubPac and SSNs and ICBMs and ADCAPs, all rallying like mad to save America once again. So are the heroes of Clancy novels past, including the indomitable Jack Ryan, submariners Mancuso and Jones, and a certain mysterious CIA operative named John Clark, the alias of one of Clancy's favorite protagonists.
Clancy balances his politically incorrect plot by bringing in large numbers of women in key positions, from Ryan's prize-winning surgeon wife to important submarine and CIA operatives. The women are mostly paper figures, however, there just to provide feminine pronouns.
What sets this all in motion is a land purchase by a Japanese businessman named Yamata. With nice economy of structure, Clancy makes this purchase the subject of his first sentence: "In retrospect, it would seem an odd way to start a war."
It certainly would, except that by the time you've followed Clancy's line of reasoning through hundreds and hundreds of densely plotted pages, it doesn't seem odd at all; indeed, it makes sense.
Nobody, but nobody, is better than Clancy at the "gathering storm" technique of thriller fiction. Like a master chef, he starts simmering one pot after another on a vast stove-full of burners, returning occasionally for an adroit stir of the action in the nuclear sub, or the Japanese baths, or the international currency market - even the inner sanctum of the Oval Office.
Yes, it is the president, the well-meaning but militarily inexperienced President Durlin - any echoes, here? - who calls Ryan off the golf course and into action as national security adviser. And Ryan proceeds to advise like crazy, treading where the president will not dare, juggling coups in Africa and on the New York Stock Exchange, as well as all the other battle stations of air, land and sea.

THE MEDIA BUSINESS; As Autumn Nears, Publishers Brace for a Glut of Big-Name Titles
By SARAH LYALL
Published: Monday, August 22, 1994
August is a slow and languorous month for publishing. Employees go on vacation, new books are released in a trickle and most companies in New York close at lunchtime every Friday so the editors can head for the Hamptons.
But this is the calm before the storm, because publishers are actually resting up for the big fall season. Autumn for publishing is like summer is for Hollywood: it is the time when many of the year's splashiest titles are released, bookstores are full of customers and everyone in the industry hopes to find a hit that will carry through until Christmas.
The months between September and December are always crowded with new books by big authors, and this year, booksellers and publishers say, the season looks to be particularly full. A Flood of Titles
The rush has already started with Tom Clancy, whose latest book, "Debt of Honor," has been shipped by its publisher, G. P. Putnam's Sons. The enormous first printing of two million copies began reaching stores Wednesday.

Another Clancy tale
If the ground rumbles Aug. 17, it may be because an estimated 2 million copies of Tom Clancy's new yarn, "Debt of Honor" (Putnam), are scheduled to be laid down in stores. The novel, which received a starred rave in last week's Publishers Weekly, puts the hero, Jack Ryan, in a war of wills set off by what the reviewer calls "a power-hungry Japanese financier."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debt_of_Honor
Debt of Honor
Debt of Honor (1994) is a novel by Tom Clancy. It is a continuation of the series featuring his character Jack Ryan. In this installment, Ryan has become the National Security Advisor when the Japanese government (controlled by a group of corporate tycoons known as the Zaibatsu) goes to war with the United States.
The Japanese plan has three major components. First, units of Japan's Self-Defense Forces occupy the Marianas Islands, specifically Saipan and Guam. The invasion, conducted with commercial airliners, is virtually bloodless. Meanwhile, during a joint military exercise, Japanese ships "accidentally" launch torpedoes at two of the U.S. Navy’s Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers and two submarines at the conclusion of a joint U.S.-Japan naval exercise, destroying both submarines and crippling the carriers. This drastically reduces the U.S. capability to project power into the western Pacific.
An immediate retaliation is forestalled by the second element of the Japanese plan: an economic attack. Even as the military mission begins, the Japanese cabal engineers the collapse of the American stock market by exploiting flaws in the program trading systems at major brokerages, and then deletes all trade records. With a massive economic crisis, and panic and chaos in America's homeland, it is hoped that America will be too distracted to quickly respond to Japan's military adventures.
Japan immediately sues for a peaceful settlement, offering international talks and seemingly free elections in the Marianas, in attempt to stall and delay an American military response. Negotiators also secretly reveal to the Americans that Japan has obtained nuclear ballistic missile capability.

"Okay," Clark said. "You're a serious man, and we understand that. The fifty million can be paid up-front. Swiss account?"
"That is somewhat better." Corp allowed, taking his time. He walked around to the back of the Rover and pointed into the open cargo area. "These are your rock samples?"
"Yes, sir," Clark replied with a nod. He handed over a three-pound piece of stone with a very high-grade Molly-be-damned ore, though it was from Colorado, not Africa. "Want to show it to your people?"
"What is this?" Corp pointed at two objects in the Rover.
"Our lights, sir." Clark smiled as he took one out. Ding did the same.

Dispatches from the fault lines of modern Britain
For over a year, police detective 'Jack Night' chronicled his working life in an unnamed UK town on his remarkably frank blog Night Jack. Now his scathing and revealing posts on the reality of policing in Britain have won him an Orwell Prize
The Observer, Saturday 16 May 2009
I started the Night Jack blog back in February last year after discovering a police blog called Inspector Gadget. I read it and I agreed with it. My comments on there started to get so long that one evening I sat down with my laptop and started a blog of my own. If anyone had told me then that I was going to win the Orwell Prize I would have asked them to stop being silly. It is still a bit of a nosebleed experience up here. But I am grateful to the Orwell Prize for noticing Night Jack and for choosing to do so in a year that has seen political blogging become a more important part of the wider political process. As you may know, the blog was put up on bricks this month because I want to concentrate on writing a book, but these are some of the posts people seemed to like.
Darkness at the Edge of Town
17 June 2008
I've written about the Patton Hall Estate before. It is on my way to the weekly shop, and on a whim I dropped in off duty last weekend to take a look round and see how things were 10 years on. This is a place that we wrested back out of the hands of the "Evil Poor" by the direct use of an informal Police and Community partnership.
It is safe to say that the estate is still in the safe hands of the Tenants Association. I saw lots of neat gardens, washing hung out to dry, hardly a piece of litter, happy laughing kids playing out, people washing their cars. There were many reliable visual indicators of a thriving community. The Housing Association has even built some sheltered accommodation for the elderly where the low-rise single-occupancy rat nests used to be. It felt like what it was, a good place to live, bring up children and grow old with dignity but without fear.
Two miles up the road is where the "Evil Poor" roost. Now I don't say that everybody who is poor is evil or that all evil people are poor. When I say "Evil Poor" I mean the multi-generational families of wasters, self-sundered from the worlds of work, education, law or personal responsibility. I mean the people who have entirely bought into a life of chaos, violence and crime. All police bloggers end up writing about them, and we all know them and their works. There festering on the edge of town is the Cannonrail Estate, bodged together using cheapest available material in the early 1970s by an ambitious council. They have never been able to fill it, and half of it has been knocked down and turfed over these past 10 years. What remains are warrens of boxy "modern terraces" built using a cheap yellow brick that has stained badly. You can see the original idea, modern dwellings, open spaces, play areas, shops, library, community centre, it was all there.
I went there for a look as well.
Nobody was washing their cars here, they have had them up on blocks, for years. No kids playing out, just the odd skinny abandoned devil dog trotting up and down looking for trouble. There were rotting disposable nappies in gardens and in the street. Every windy corner was a-rattle with empty lager cans and fag butts. Dog shit, broken bottles and deep motorbike and car tyre tracks disfigured the dying, untended and unused football pitches. These were Euro funded and opened with such pride and hope just a few years ago. Every aparatus on the children's playground was bent, broken and useless. Every tile in the happy happy mosaic installed at the opening has been lovingly chipped, broken and destroyed. Nothing stays good on Cannonrail. The council had given everybody new wooden garden fences last year and within a month they were ripped apart and useless. Nobody living there gives a flying one. They didn't care about the old broken fences in the first place.
Every time a tenant moves on, you need a fumigation crew and a complete redecoration at minimum. Every third house is "tinned up" to prevent the locals getting in to strip out anything left of value. It doesn't have to be like that, it's not the place, it's not the poverty or the local schools, there are jobs. There are so many social workers to help you, but no, in the end it is the people. In Cannonrail is concentrated the most rapacious of the "Evil Poor" and all they can do is destroy and spoil everything around them. It's not a minority of anti-social trouble-makers causing the problems here because damn near every resident is anti-social. Maybe I am demonising them and their children. Well, that's what I do to demons.
There are the shops, an off-licence and a general store, each festooned with after-market security additions, razor wire, steel doors, cameras, security lights and the like. The shopkeepers always look on edge. Outside, burnt-out bins and more of the detritus of living the "Evil Poor" life, a broken child's bike, pizza boxes, crushed cigarette packets and half a dozen black bin bags weeping dirty cheap kiddies' clothes.
There is a Community Centre that, if anything, is more forbiddingly spiky than the shops. Nobody from the Community goes there but at least it gives the social workers somewhere to hide from their clients during the day. The saddest thing there is the shell of the little branch library, closed, roof tiles stripped and lying broken in the high weeds around. It never stood a chance.
These are the places of the people that we are talking about. These are the homes they return to after a day or a night spent ruining yours. This is where they swagger and brag of the beatings and robbings. This is where the drugs go. This is the pathology. This is where the Evil Poor live. Even when the sun is cracking the paving stones, this is the darkness at the edge of town.

Battle of Mogadishu (1993)
The Battle of Mogadishu (also referred to as the Battle of the Black Sea, and Black Hawk Down in popular culture) or for Somalis: the Day of the Rangers (Somali: Maalintii Rangers) was part of Operation Gothic Serpent and was fought on October 3 and 4, 1993, in Mogadishu, Somalia, between forces of the United States supported by UNOSOM II and Somali militia fighters loyal to president to be Mohamed Farrah Aidid who had support from armed civilian fighters.
On October 3, 1993, Task Force Ranger, U.S. Special Operations Forces composed mainly of Bravo Company 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (better known as “Delta Force”) operators, and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) (“The Night Stalkers”), attempted to capture Aidid's foreign minister Omar Salad Elmi and his top political advisor, Mohamed Hassan Awale.
The plan was that Delta Force operators would assault the target building (using MH-6 Little Bird helicopters) and secure the targets inside the building while four Ranger chalks (under the command of Capt. Michael D. Steele) would fast rope down from hovering MH-60L Black Hawk helicopters. The Rangers would then create a four-corner defensive perimeter around the target building while a column of nine Humvees and three five-ton trucks (under the command of Lt. Col. Danny McKnight) would arrive at the target building to take the entire assault team and their prisoners back to base. The entire operation was estimated to take no longer than 30 minutes.
The ground-extraction convoy was supposed to reach the captive targets a few minutes after the beginning of the operation. However, it ran into delays. Somali citizens and local militia formed barricades along the streets of Mogadishu with rocks and burning tires, blocking the convoy from reaching the Rangers and their captives. Aidid militiamen with megaphones shouting, "Kasoobaxa guryaha oo iska celsa cadowga!" ("Come out and defend your homes!").

"You got him?" President Durling asked?
"Less than half an hour ago," Ryan confirmed, taking his seat.
"Nobody hurt?" That was important to the President. It was important to Ryan, too, but not morbidly so.
"Clark reports no friendly casualities."
"What about the other side?" This questions came from Brett Hanson, the current Secretary of State. Choate School and Yale. The government was having a run on Yalies, Ryan thought, but Hanson wasn't as good as the last Eli he'd worked with. Short, thin, and hyper, Hanson was an in-and-out guy whose career had oscillated between government service, consulting, a sideline as a talking head on PBS - where you could exercise real influence - and a lucrative practice in one of the city's pricier firms. He was a specialist in corporate and international law, an area of expertise he'd once used to negotiate multinational business deals. He'd been good at that, Jack knew. Unfortunately, he'd come into his cabinet post thinking that the same niceties ought to - worse, did - apply to the business of nation-states.
Ryan took a second or two before replying. "I didn't ask."
"Why?"
Jack could have said any one of several things, but he decided that it was time to establish his position. Therefore, a goad: "Because it wasn't important. The objective, Mr. Secretary, was to apprehend Corp. That was done. In about thirty minutes he will be handed over to the legal authorities, such as they are, in his country, for trial in accordance with their law, before a jury of his peers, or however they do it over there." Ryan hadn't troubled himself to find out.
"That's tantamount to murder."
"It's not my fault his peers don't like him, Mr. Secretary. He's also responsible for the deaths of American soldiers. Had we decided to eliminate him ourselves, even that would not be murder. It would have been a straightforward national-security exercise. Well, in another age it would have been," Ryan allowed. Times had changed, and Ryan had to adapt himself to a new reality as well. "Instead, we are acting as good world-citizens by apprehending a dangerous international criminal and turning him over to the government of his country, which will put him on trial for drug-running, which is a felony in ever legal jurisdiction of which I am aware. What happens next is up to the criminal-justice system of his country.
