Thirteen Suggestions for Effective USENET Policy

Jeff Vos, Aug 1995

It is my belief that these basic suggestions could, with some
modification, be the kernel for future CNG policy development. I
envision experimentation with these ideas by the various KNIghts,
and the sharing of valid methods and elaborations by way of
e-mail or through "saturation mail" techniques, the ultimate
outcome of which will be a collection of scientifically
established methods for the effective utilization of this medium.

Promote concrete policies:

Ideologies divide, policies bring us closer together. Our
policies will be negative, reactive in nature. ie. "Canada should
NOT allow people from a country experiencing an incurable plague
to come here."

Have a Vision:

In the realm of ideas, it is better to be FOR something than
AGAINST something. In ideas, you should have a positive vision.
ie. "Canada SHOULD protect the health of the people who pay its
taxes, over the health of foreigners, and over regard to some
abstract international 'reputation'."

Maintain the Offensive:

By maintaining an offensive attitude, your opponent will be
forced into a defensive (losing) role in order to deal with you.
You will control the debate. "Winning is exposing the most people
to your ideas, without losing your ability to keep doing so."

Maintain composure:

Be impervious to the criticism you will meet. Avoid losing your
temper: All arguments are OPPORTUNITIES to post more of your
material. Use your opponent to "draw out" the details of your
material.

Using Terminology:

Avoid adopting your opponent's terminology or terms of debate.
Experiment with creating your own. In order to work, terminology
must express how people REALLY feel about something. Be
ICONOCLASTIC: slay "sacred cows" with enviable verve!

Time and Place:

Consider ways to maximize your audience, and of psycho-logical
factors of particular times of the year. A winter-term
non-holiday post, for example, hits the most people in
North-America; And any least relation to a newsgroup's concern
can justify your posting there.

Highlight Opponents' Inconsistencies:

Divide and Conquer. Shine the light on differences and
inconsistencies in their ideology --while you highlight your
vision. Use their own material to condemn them (ie. articles in
gay, jewish, and liberal magazines which would infuriate the
general public).

Utilize "Conservative" Research:

National Review and American Spectator, as well as conservative
books, often contain articles advocating similiar policies to the
ones we want. Use their research to promote our policies.

Reinforce Community:

Pull together at all times, encourage cooperation and community
in friendly posts and e-mail. Encourage new helpers in the cause.

Sympathetic Ear:

Give readers an input into what you do. Set yourself up as a
defender of the national interest. Expose the crimes of the
current "dictatorship of special interests."

Using Humour:

Politically incorrect points can be advanced through jokes
instead of regular discourse. Pay attention to the "message" of
the jokes you post.

Encourage Competition:

A healthy sense of competition can make better posters of us all.
A voracious and vicious front is the natural expression of a
great political outlook.

Action:

The movement should give outsiders a way to "make something
happen." By giving people a way to accomplish things politically
through us, we validate our own existence.

Propaganda of the CNG

by Jeff Vos, 1994

Our "Propaganda"

1. Propaganda is printed or visual material designed to win
public sentiment or to decrease public hostility towards a
particular political cause. Typically it distorts the issues,
misquotes sources, or engages in lies. The CNG does not approve
of such practices.

2. Our propaganda is to be straightforward and logical. It should
not hide what it is or what it is attempting to do. It should
NEVER misquote a source and it should NEVER engage in a lie.
Exaggeration is allowed, but should always be transparent to the
average reader.

3. At the heart of all political conflicts, is a conflict of
vision. On both sides there is an accumulation of evidence --
accumulated from the world as experienced through each worldview.
The worldview whose "evidence" is most consistent with one's
experience of reality is the one which one will adopt.

4. The purpose of propaganda is to make one's vision accessible
to others by giving the accumulated evidence of the validity of
that vision. Those who read the material can adopt the outlook
for themselves, and can see whether or not it yields a more
satisfactory interpretation of their experiences.

5. In other words, the purpose of propaganda is to associate an
outlook with demonstrable facts, such that a useful synthesis is
provided to the reader. This synthesis allows the reader to share
the world-view of the writer.

II. The Pyramid

1. Our propaganda is to follow a form which I call the "Pyramid".
These kinds of statements (type A) will go first: general,
exaggerated, concise, strong, unambiguous, unsupported, short,
anecdotal. These kinds (type B) will go last: particular,
straight-forward, detailed, weak, ambiguous, supported, lengthy.
Please note that these two "types" define the opposite ends of a
single scale, by which all statements can be rated.

2. The effect is such that the reader's interest (and possibly
ire) will be aroused by the former, which will force him to read
onwards to the latter. The piece will also look somewhat like a
proof: Strong, short assertions will be made at the apex; and
they will be followed by more detailed, straight-forward, and
lengthy analysis of the point in question as one proceeds
downwards to the base.
3. A person's interest carries him as far as he can go. If a
person loses interest at some point, he can proceed to the next
"apex." Likely, the interest generated by the initial (type A)
statements will force him to read the whole thing. A variant of
this format is used in newspapers. It is straight-forward and
logical.

III. General Format for CNG Propaganda

1. The best propaganda consists of three parts: an introduction,
body, and conclusion. The introduction should arouse interest,
contain strong unambiguous statements, and get right to the point
of the piece without becoming mired in details. No proofs are
necessary for these statements: they are your opinions. They are
a pure expression of your world-view. In other words, the
introduction should be composed of purely "type A" statements.

2. When you have written this portion of a piece, say it aloud to
yourself as if you were addressing an audience. Does the speech
flow, or does it sound awkward? If it flows the way a good
oratory should, then you have accomplished your goal. The easier
it is to say, the easier it is to read.

3. The body should consist of a series of "apexes," which should
be numbered and presented so that stand out from the body of the
text. They should be sorted such that the ones with the most
lengthy "pyramids" under them go last. In other words, the
assertions with the least lengthy evidence should go first.

4. Underneath each apex, or assertion, should be a collection of
evidence. The pieces of evidence under each apex should be
sorted, once again, as described above -- this time by content,
not by length. These should be indented by between 1 and 5
spaces. In other words, the evidence for each assertion should be
ordered from most-compelling to least-compelling. Generally,
however, you want to place type A evidence at the top -- to
compel reading.

5. A concluding statement should be written. It should be nothing
more than a mirror-reflection of what was written in the
introduction. It should be just as opinionated and unsupported --
Type A, again. Typically, a course of action, will be recommended
for the reader at this point -- say, to distribute this material
widely, or to join a right-wing group. The course of action will
be offered as a resolution of the problem discussed.

IV. "Exaggerations"

1. Exaggerated statements may be made which are not completely
supported by the evidence following. As long as this is
transparent to the reader, no deception is occurring. The purpose
of such evidence is not to prove a conclusive point, it is to
suggest that the point given may be correct. Many people form
opinions on subjects through softer kinds of evidence like this.
Talk shows, where anecdotes are shared, are a perfect example of
this.

2. Also, exaggeration is a snare for the emotional pedants and
literalists out there: It provokes a nit-picking reaction which
increases exposure of your material while not mitigating the
points made, as far as the average reader is concerned. In fact,
the harping on about a particular point suggests, to the average
reader, that it IS a significant one.

V. Distribution

1. The following protocal is presented for distributing material.
Changing people's attitudes such that they might join right-wing
groups is as useful to these groups, as is being an outright
voice for the interests of these groups. Our material is used in
both fashions:

2. Our material will not initially be affiliated with any
particular right-wing group. Unaffiliated people on the USENET
who are willing to post our material will be sought. Such
postings, by people who are obviously unaffiliated, lends
validity to the material. This is the first phase of
distribution.

[ie. The information will be initially DIS-seminated by PSI
workers -Jeff, '95]

3. The second phase of distribution is the formal one. The
material will be mailed out to individuals who will tack on an
advertisement for right-wing interests at the end (or whatever)
and post them. By doing it in this order, unaffiliated posters
are not exposed to undo association with these groups in the
public eye.

[ie. Next, it will be disseminated by KNIghts -Jeff, '95]

V. Conclusion

We have seen above, that propaganda is a useful technique for
sharing one's world-view with others. It provides a relationship
between facts and the interpretation of those facts, and thus
provides a key which allows the reader to share the world-view of
the writer. We have also discussed the pyramid scheme of writing
material, with the two types of statements (A and B) and their
proper arrangement in a written piece. The general format for all
CNG material was given, along with an explanation of the legal
usage of exaggeration. Finally, we discussed a good protocal for
distribution of CNG material.

Enclosed is a copy of an anti-homosexual piece which I have
compiled. Study it carefully. It is a perfect example of the
techniques here advocated...
Addendums, written 1995:

Addendum A:

Why We Don't Lie

Lying in my view is not suitable for propaganda because people
can recognize the difference between conviction and contempt,
between a person who is speaking from the heart and one who is
false (=hypocritical). In order for the message to be believed by
those who receive it, the messenger must believe it as well. If
the messenger is false, the propagation of the message will be
poisoned at the source. Don't write anything you don't believe.

Furthermore, it is sometimes better to NOT follow through in
drawing conclusions. Why? -- Because people value the results of
their own efforts over those of others. By allowing people to
interpret the data themselves, we give the results of that
interpretation (their work) a greater validity. In other words,
write your propaganda based firmly on sources which the average
person can access, but do not go through the typical lengths in
interpreting that would normally be required. Sometimes it is
better to let people draw their own conclusions.

Addendum B:

Calenders

Many days of the year are set aside for special occasions, and I
think we should do this as well, not just in defining dates for
ourselves, but in defining dates to COUNTERACT the activities of
our enemies. For example, I personally am not too thrilled with
the United Way, an organization that gives money to the Canadian
Jewish Congress, and various other liberal causes, while denying
money to the Boy Scouts because of their stance on hiring
homosexuals. This organization sets aside a certain time of year
to encourage donations. We should set aside the same time of year
to inform the public about what their money is being used for --
including the lavish salaries of the top bureaucrats. The same
goes for "UN-Day" and "AIDS Awareness Week" etc, ad nauseum.
Also, on the basis of holidays, we should set our dates to
correspond to public moods. Recruitment MUST be done in FEBRUARY.

Addendum C:

Group Propaganda

Whenever you attack a group in your postings, it is important to
remember that: the purpose of your postings is to sketch a
portrait of the unsavoury and unnatural aspects of the group in
question; and the debate is nothing more than an excuse for you
to add further details to this "portrait." The unsavoury
descriptions should be placed side-by-side with the name of the
group.

Furthermore, pictures should be used (in the context of
web-pages, etc.) -- especially if the group is distinguished by
physical characteristics. For example, a description of the
unsavoury aspects of homosexual behaviour during marches should
include a picture of gays prancing naked down a main street, or
engaging in public masturbation, or showing hostility. Likewise,
a discussion of Jewish influence in the media should include
pictures of the influential people being discussed. (note: I've
always believed that the easiest way to teach a person to be an
anti-semite consists entirely in teaching him to recognize a
Jewish face.)

Addendum D:

Quoting Jewish Sources

Since this has come up in my own propaganda work, I feel it is
necessary to say a few words on this subject.

It is completely acceptable to quote Jewish authors on subjects
-- especially if your propaganda is aimed at a particular group,
and, even better, if Jews are the target. Consider suggestion #7
-- "Use their own material to condemn them." If a Jewish author
advocates things which would infuriate the public, then by all
means use it to condemn him. And if a Jewish author provides
quotable material in opposition to homosexuality, then by all
means use it as well. The latter case accomplishes three things:
1) It sours the cozy relation between Jews and homosexuals
(divide and conquer), 2) It gives us a free hand in utilizing
intellectual sources, and 3) It shows that we are not so petty as
to belittle the rational product of a person's work because of
their race.

Jewish people in general are all over the place politically. On
the other hand, when they are racially threatened, they unite in
a remarkable fashion. Furthermore they have a tremendous capacity
to assimilate and use information to prove their particular
theses, coupled with an incredible blindness to the degree with
which they contaminate their work with their own preconceptions
-- specifically in regard to terminology. Their thought and
"logic" typically manipulates definitions of words, and not the
realities behind those words, hence their peculiar blindness to
"third options." Nevertheless, the work of "conservative" Jews
can be useful in proving our own theses. Use it to your heart's
content.
