Chapter 566: Propaganda, Hype, Political Correctness
"What are your plans?" Lao Bu looked very excited.
"Ahem, of course I had a good talk with the Mexicans, you know me, I'm the most polite and like to convince people with reason!" Sean coughed lightly, pretending to be reserved.
The Bu family father and son looked at Sean with disdain.
……
Three days later, the DEA director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration held a press conference.
"According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, in 1990, 120,000 people died in the United States from the use of illicit psychotropic drugs, and at the same time, more than 50,000 people died from disputes caused by drug and other related activities, which is three times the number of Vietnam Wars!"
The head of the Drug Enforcement Bureau said with a heavy face: "And how long did the Vietnam War take, this number is 20 years!" ”
"In 20 years, ladies and gentlemen, according to the data held by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the number of deaths due to drug abuse and pan-drug related activities may have been as high as 200,000 in 1991!"
"Drugs are threatening American society and eating American civilization!"
"It is urgent for the United States to crack down on drug crimes, and we must and must make all drug offenders pay the price!" The director of the Drug Enforcement Bureau waved his arms and looked excited, "This is a war, a war involving the whole United States and all mankind, this war, the United States will win, and all pan-drug groups will pay the price of blood!" ”
Following the speech of the director of the Anti-Narcotics Bureau, the three major radio and television stations, including New Century Media, Fox Television, and ABC, began to cooperate in carrying out propaganda, and the momentum was huge.
Anti-drug, politically correct, the white house issued an administrative cooperation order, and no one dared to refuse.
In the following three days, governors and police departments across the United States began to cooperate with speeches, publicity, and anti-drug efforts.
At the same time, with the Drug Enforcement Administration as the core, the FBI cooperated, and the local police departments as the main force, cracked down on drug offenders in various places, setting off a frenzy of public opinion on drug control in the United States.
Originally, everyone didn't take it seriously, and the Drug Enforcement Administration shouted every year for the local police department to cooperate with the operation, but who cares about them.
The Drug Enforcement Administration itself is one of the three largest pan-drug groups in North America......
It's just a slogan, not only do the police stations around the country take it seriously, but even those drug criminals just laugh mockingly at the TV.
……
"This is New York, and we're in front of the NYPD, so let's interview the NYPD chief." A beautiful blonde woman stood next to a middle-aged fat man and asked the camera, "May I ask our dear Mr. Director, what do you think of this anti-drug activity?" ”
"The drug problem has been plaguing us, and its criminal process has seriously interfered with the problem of social security, three days ago, our New York Police Department organized a large-scale crackdown against pan-drug groups, and in three days, two pan-drug networks were dismantled, 387 people were arrested, and 835 pounds of various drugs and opioids were seized, and $1.3 million in cash ......"
……
"This is Los Angeles...... Yesterday, a large pan-drug syndicate was dismantled, 274 drug offenders were arrested, 542 guns of various types, 30,000 rounds of bullets of various types were seized, and a total of 1,284 pounds of drugs and $850,000 in cash were seized......"
……
Lao Bu's ability is actually not to say, and his connections are wide enough, he used to be the director of the FBI, and the FBI is naturally Lao Bu's sphere of influence.
The FBI provided intelligence, the Drug Enforcement Administration took a stand, and New Century and Fox cooperated in publicity, and every day they reported the results of this round of anti-drug activities to the whole United States through television stations.
Because of the relationship between the American political system, the original state governments and city governments were not willing to take care of the orders of the white house, anti-drugs, to put it mildly, it was to force the police to fight drug criminals!
This is the United States, a country where guns are rampant, are you honest children when you are a drug offender in the United States?
They will resist when they catch drug dealers!
All kinds of automatic weapons, even fucking grenades, even wearing body armor, one careless will kill someone, and injuries are inevitable.
The salary of a police officer is not high in the first place, who wants to do such a dangerous job.
Besides, drug offenders have to give money in various ways every month!
Now if they want to fight hard with the gold owner, isn't it difficult for a strong man!
In addition, the police stations in various places are not subordinate to each other, and the police are really unwilling to take care of this kind of thing.
But the problem is that this time the Drug Enforcement Administration broke out a large number of deaths, the White House ordered, the local media cooperated with the publicity, New York and Los Angeles first cooperated with the relevant actions, the TV station followed the filming, the arrested drug criminals, the seized guns and ammunition, and the drugs appeared in front of the camera clearly, and the situation was different.
Americans are not a special race, don't they know that drug use is harmful to health?
Don't they know about the various public security problems caused by pan-drug abuse and social chaos?
They know!
Americans also want to live a stable life, and no one wants to!
So, but New York and Los Angeles were the first to respond to the event, and the TV stations immediately cooperated with interviews with passers-by, "Sir, what do you think of this NYPD's anti-drug operation?" ”
"Me? Hum! What does it mean that so many drug criminals can be caught in an anti-drug operation at once? A white man in a suit and tie who looked like a white-collar elite sneered and said: "This shows that the police department has actually mastered the relevant information of the pan-drug group for a long time, well, who in New Yorkers doesn't know, where are they, it's just that our chief pretended not to see it in the past!" ”
Reporter: "......"
Pinch off this section!
Substitution, continue the interview, pinch off ......
Finally, a drunken white man didn't act so sober, "Hahaha, the police department did a good job this time, I saw that Friedman guy was caught, damn Friedman, every time the goods sold to me are so expensive, this guy who should go to hell......"
"Ahem, ahem, pinch off this section too!"
This year's New Yorkers don't know how to cooperate with the publicity!
There is no way, but the extras can only be used, but fortunately, the quality of the group performance is very high, and the interview can continue smoothly after giving money.
The anti-narcotics operation has been a major success, and the local government has been well received by the public, and the approval rating has risen unabated......
New York, Los Angeles have taken action, and the results are remarkable, but what about other cities?
As soon as the propaganda offensive comes up, regardless of whether it is a show or not, the citizens of other cities will still be unhappy, and the city government will not be willing to put on a show?
The pressure comes to the mayors of other major cities, if you don't want to be smeared and colluded with the local pan-drug group, then you must take action, and there must be results!
……
"This is Chicago......"
"This is the ...... of Philadelphia"
"This is Atlanta ......"
If you don't participate, you have low work ability, if you don't participate, you will shield drug criminals, and if you don't participate, you will be attacked by political opponents, which is called political correctness.
Well, the price of drugs everywhere has risen......
Well-informed, the drug offenders who escaped this wave made more money......
……
"So it's useful?" Lao Bu looked at Sean, what does this have to do with Mexico?
"It's almost time, and I'll arrange for someone to report on the police officers who were injured and killed in this nationwide anti-drug operation." Sean said with a smile.
New Century Media not only supports a special journalism and communication team, whose members are all graduates of the journalism and communication departments of famous universities in the United States, but also cooperates with several universities to conduct related research, invests in several related experimental projects, and provides opportunities and materials for social experiments.
There is a very advanced theory on how to manipulate public opinion to achieve the desired goal, and Sean attaches far more importance to this aspect than Murdoch.
"Okay, I'll watch your show." Lao Bu shrugged.
……
At a time when the anti-narcotics campaign reached its climax, with more than a dozen cities arresting drug offenders every day and adding up the number of seized drugs, arousing the attention of the people across the United States, New Century Media took the lead in turning its camera to the police officers who died in this operation.
Or the New York and Los Angeles police departments that have a close relationship with Sean.
Location: Cemetery.
More than 500 police officers were present at the farewell event organized by the police, all with solemn expressions, and the 23 coffins were neatly placed in two rows.
Family members dressed in black cover their mouths and weep.
The pastor bowed his head and read the eulogy.
The cameras faithfully record everything.
"Stand upright!"
"Salute!"
There is such a picture on TV, the host recites the name of every sacrificed police officer, some people are still very young, and they have not had time to take a good look at this fancy world, some people have already got married, have wives and children, but now, they have all said goodbye to this world because of this anti-drug operation.
Maybe the world is not as beautiful as it seems, but no one is nostalgic.
Then there is the hospital, where there are even more injured officers, some of them seriously injured and left disabled.
Even those who are inactive by the police, who are putting on a show, have shut their mouths, the police have done what they can, at a terrible price, blameless, impeccable.
With more and more relevant reports, the number of police officers killed in this anti-drug operation in the United States is as high as 1,258, and the number of injured is as high as 5,206.
The problem of pan-narcotics has plagued the United States and the world for a long time, and the problem cannot be simply attributed to these policemen.
The police at this moment are worthy of respect.
Under the deliberate propaganda and guidance of New Century Media and News Corporation, the anti-narcotics atmosphere in the United States has risen to an unprecedented height.
At this moment, not to mention those guys who are almost openly selling drugs on weekdays, even some gangsters, gangsters and the like are low-key.
The policemen on the street all looked fierce, including those citizens with different attitudes from the past, walking on the road and sweeping their eyes around, but if they found that they might be selling drugs, they would immediately call the police.
……
"Alright, the atmosphere is almost over, it's time to move on to the next step." Sean calls Lao Bu.
At this moment, Sean was lying on the Taishi chair at Kashima's house, and he was directing the entire activity remotely.
And when things come to this point, Lao Bu also knows what Sean has in mind, and it can be summed up in a few words, carrying public opinion!
Therefore, if you don't jump out to brush up on a wave of prestige at this time, wait for when.
The next day, Lao Bu gave a speech in the square in front of the white house.
"Good morning everyone, I'm here today to talk to you about the topic of saying "no" to drugs, every time someone tries to sell you or sell you drugs. Don't talk to that person anymore, drugs are addictive, so please don't think that you may be better than others, even if you only take the pill once, it is very dangerous.
Now, let me give you some reasons for my opinion. First of all, drugs are not legal, and it is illegal to buy, sell, and take drugs.
Breaking the law is wrong and dangerous. Now you have a bright future waiting for you, but if you start doing illegal things, all this will leave you, and if you commit a crime, you will be punished......"
"We have sacrificed a lot of lovely and respectable people in this anti-drug operation, but their efforts will not be in vain, and here I would like to say thank you to all those who have contributed to this anti-drug operation......
"Hats off to you!"
"The year before last, we eliminated the world's largest drug criminal organization, the Pablo crime group, this is a victory over the drug crime industry chain, but it is clear that our enemies are not extinct, this anti-drug operation, not only captured a lot of drug criminals, seized a huge amount of drugs, but also obtained a lot of data hidden in the dark corners of the sewers, 78.9% of the drugs imported into the United States every year are from Mexico!"
"Drugs imported from Mexico to the United States have become the biggest enemy that threatens American social order and the lives and property of the American people."
"Here, I, President Bush, strongly condemn the Mexican government's indulgence of the domestic drug syndicate, and it is your inaction that has allowed the pan-drug syndicate to grow and become a cancer that poisons the entire United States!"
"For this kind of behavior, on behalf of the American people, on behalf of the U.S. government, I say, no!"
Lao Bu's eyes widened, he waved his arms, and said loudly with a tough face: "In line with the attitude towards the lives and property of the American people and the person in charge of US national security, the US military has the responsibility, obligation, and right to eradicate this cancer!" ”
As soon as the speech came out, it immediately blew through the world like a storm!
After the Gulf War, the United States had to prove that its military strength was the largest in the world, and no one could question it.
Now that the President of the United States has once again addressed the outside world and launched a military threat against Mexico, isn't that enough to make the whole world boil?
At least the Mexican government, Mexican drug offenders are boiling!
However, the United States has come up with irreproachable evidence, you import so many drugs into the United States every year, poisoning more than 100,000 people, more than the 20 years of the Vietnam War, it is understandable that people are mad!
At the moment, the fight against drugs is political correctness, and because of the previous series of operations, this matter is supported by all the people in the United States.
In the United States, who hasn't had friends and relatives who have been plagued by drugs?
It can only be said that Sean's series of operations in front of him were too ingenious, mobilizing the emotions of everyone in the United States, and at this time, the congressmen who like to show their differences have shut up.
Whoever opposes it will be defeated!
The United Nations cannot stop the U.S. government from doing so, and if the U.S. government is determined to send troops for this reason.
I just didn't want to do such a thankless job.
The world is waiting for the Mexican government's response, and they certainly don't want the U.S. military to set foot on Mexican soil, so no matter what, Mexico must launch a campaign against drugs.
In any case, impressive results must be achieved!
At this critical moment, the Foot Covering Building suddenly announced that it had signed a military commission with the umbrella company, and out of respect for the Mexican government, it was inconvenient for the US military to directly enter Mexico to investigate the specific situation of drug offenders, so it entrusted the umbrella company to send people to conduct an accurate and accurate investigation of drug offenders in Mexico.
First, in order to accurately grasp the situation of drug offenders in Mexico, we can cooperate with the Mexican government to crack down on drug offenders in Mexico.
Second, it is necessary to create effective conditions for the follow-up large-scale operations of the US military as a last resort.
