The Psychology of Persuasive Propaganda

The American people are being deceived, and most of us haven't a clue how deep this deception goes. Through a close look at the psychology of propaganda and persuasion, David takes readers on a journey which will be disturbing and eye-opening at the same time.

The struggle for liberty demands we question everything and resist the never ending attempts to persuade us to accept agendas we would otherwise oppose.

In 2012, David Risselada was a student in Oklahoma's Northeastern State University Social Work Program. At the end of the first semester, he was told by his professors he was unfit for the field due to his staunch opposition to topics like social justice and white privilege. Despite this, he was able to complete the courses and graduate with a bachelor's degree. Wanting to continue with his goal of being a clinical therapist, David went on the master's program at Oklahoma State University, where despite his 3.69 GPA, was denied his degreethree days before graduation for obvious, political reasons. While it took more than a decade, David received some good news as his case was part of a massive class action lawsuit under something called the Borrower's Defense Program. A federal judge, after reviewing all the evidence, had ruled the university had acted unethically and had no right to deny the degree. The loan for the program was forgiven, and David was reimbursed for money he paid back.Since 2012, David has written for conservative websites such as Freedom Outpost, Liberty Loft, Natural News, Western Free Press, and remains a contributing writer to Sons of Liberty Media. Other books written by David include Psychopolitics in America: A Nation Under Conquest, Without a Shot Indeed: Inducing Compliance to Tyranny Through Persuasion and Conditioning, and A Critical Look at CRT in Education, Research, and Social Policy: Exposing the Real Racism in America.
