Prof. Jerry Kroth’s third video on propaganda focuses on psychodramas, like the cases of Jon Benet Ramsey, Casey Anthony, and Elizabeth Smart and how tabloid titillations keep Americans progressively warped in their contact with reality. Dr. Kroth also addresses major “blind spots“ in our collective consciousness and looks at the U. S. shooting down of Iranian flight 655, israel’s nuclear hegemony in the Middle East, and the 2016 presidential election as gargantuan pockets of ignorance in American public awareness. This lecture is based on his book, Implosion: delusion, denial, and the prospect of Collapse.
