We’re obligated to provide the same level of service, the same billing the same everything, for every patient we encounter. – Mike McLaughlin
We know that the US government can produce powerful, effective propaganda; we’ve certainly seen it in the “sex trafficking” hysteria. But a lot more of it is ludicrously bad; take a look at this video contributed by Tim Cushing, the intention of which seems to be convincing Americans to maintain psychotic levels of paranoia when traveling abroad. Tim also provided “more” and “proof”, and the other links above the video are from Franklin Harris (“RIP”), Cathy Reisenwitz (“robot”), Nun Ya (“laws”), Jillian Keenan (“snacks”), and Scott Greenfield (“TSA”).

I love how the video misdirects the viewer by not mentioning that you have an even greater chance of being under surveillance while you are at home. It is only those evil foreigners who are after your secrets
But at home you are among friends! Nobody would ever reasonably suspect Big Brother of abusing anything he learns. He only does “good” surveillance against terrorists and child molesters. If you are a good person, you have nothing to fear! “Bad” surveillance is something only Emmanuel Goldstein does, and if you travel abroad, you will be exposed to his clutches! So better stay at home where everything is fine and nice and friendly!
I begin to think Orwell was an optimist.
“psychotic levels of paranoia when traveling abroad”:
That is not really surprising. The aim is no doubt to prevent people from traveling abroad in the first place by creating fear.
This is a classic of totalitarian regimes: Hide how bad it is at home by claiming everything is fine at home but abroad it is really bad. That one only works if not too many people travel abroad and find out the actual truth. Used extensively, for example, in the former USSR, in North Korea and other unsavory places. Of course, these also made traveling abroad illegal, a step the US is no doubt contemplating, but cannot (yet) implement.
