Propaganda Alert: German Air Force Intercepts Unresponsive Jet in Dramatic Footage
The image above is taken from a news story broadcast around the world in February 2017 about a commercial jet that lost communication and was intercepted by 2 fighter jets from the German Air Force.
The take-away propaganda of the story is in the image and video shot by a trailing aircraft; an aircraft that just happened to be in the perfect position to capture the entire event, including the trails of both the commercial jet and the fighter jets.
The take-away propaganda of this video is designed to convince the public that all jets produce contrails, whether they are fighter jets or commercial airliners.
The Implication Method
This was clearly a well-designed, large-scale propaganda event utilizing the "implication" method to propagandize the public into believing that contrails are normal and common.
The implication propaganda method utilizes a story unrelated to the propaganda itself. It allows the public to draw a sometimes-subtle conclusion themselves without being told directly.
In this case, the story makes no mention of the enormous plumes trailing the aircraft. The conclusion drawn by the observer is that "plumes are common and normal; they are not even worth mentioning".
