counter on information: Use the new propaganda

consapevoleza The importance of media
, albeit underestimated by people, is among those who "rules the world." Written by Luca Galassi Saturday, March 5, 2011 - Hillary Clinton: new funding for foreign media that promote the interests of the nation - The United States is losing the information war, and the emergence of new media in Russia, China and the Middle East, the American monopoly is in crisis. The Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sounded the alarm before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, highlighting the need for new funding for 'return to play the game'.

The game is played at home, where Hillary Clinton is trying to avoid cuts of 16 percent to his ministry, making it also account for the senators of the 79 billion dollar budget for 2012 to 'diplomacy and development'. Behind these figures lie financing for various reasons, including for the BBG (Broadcasting Board of Governors), the agency responsible for all the media-military-sponsored by the U.S. government. "There is an information war, and we're losing - said the State Secretary of the Commission - while the al-Jazeera is winning. The Chinese have opened a multi-language global television network, the Russians have created a Network in English. I've seen in several countries, and it was very instructive. "

Russia Today, Russian television channel quoted by Hillary Clinton, YouTube has 300 million hits, CNN just three. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the BBC has also seen a progressive decline at the expense of Arabic language channels that broadcast an image of the United States that no longer corresponds to that desired by diplomacy and propaganda. The existence of new points of view, a country that believes deeply hurt that his point of view is the only possible. From here, new funding and a new role for the BBG, which is an honorary member, by law, the same Hillary Clinton. The agency monitors media such as Radio Free Europe, Radio Marti and Voice of America (based in Miami but mostly Cuban audience), as well as other channels and stations around the world. Its task is to "promote and sustain freedom and democracy spreading accurate and objective news about the United States and the world." Heir to use (United States Information Agency), the body for 'public diplomacy' designed to 'understand, inform and influence foreign public promoting the national interest', will go to the BGG resources to date expenditure - or badly spent - by the State Department that, because of official relations with foreign governments, has been criticized for weak efforts in this direction. Information and technology are the basis of its activity. In a report produced by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Senate i! The State Department is criticized for having managed in a bad way for the fifty million dollars in software to combat Internet censorship. Only twenty have been spent, and a paltry sum of these went to one of the most ambitious programs, Internet Censorship circumvention Technology (Icct).

Just the delicacy of relations with China would lead to delays in financing the project Icct, developed, inter alia, from two U.S. companies founded by members of the Falungong (spiritual movement banned in China), to allow his followers to force the firewall of censorship. Such delays would allow Beijing to tighten its grip against the opposition. The report, quoted last week by the Washington Post, reports the need to invest a primary role of the BBG, 'working every day so that the programs of radio, internet and television on its network can be received by users in countries that try to block them, harm them or put them outlaws'. During his hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Hillary Clinton recalled that he had met an Afghan general whose views were formed entirely of Americans watching television shows like Baywatch or the wrestling championship. "The only things I thought I knew about Americans was that all men are wrestling and all the women go around in bikinis." From
