Description of Propaganda
This poster is a picture of a huge octopus with its tenticles around the world. Above the octopus, is the star of David, the Jewish symbol. The octopus has a big head, a weird looking nose, and a little bit of hair. It also has one tooth, big eyes, and black ink coming out of its tenticles. The world is just plain white and the octopus is a sky blue color. The octopus is apparently grabing on to the world and trying to dominate it.

Message of propaganda
This poster is suppose to show that the Jews, the octopus, are dominating the world. Its shows that the octopus represents the Jews' control over the world. We know that the octopus represents the Jews because of the star of David. The poster is showing that the octopus is contaminating the world with its black ink or filth. This means that they are saying the Jews are dominating and contaminating the world.


1st Technique of propaganda: NOT about the Truth
The meaning of the poster is obviously a lie because, for one thing, Jews are not octopuses. For another thing, the Jews are not controlling the world. In fact, they were once slaves. Jews are just people not monsters that the poster makes them out to be. Propaganda is never about the truth, just a popular lie.

2nd Technique of propaganda: make it BIG and simple
This propaganda is big because they want people to believe it. Most propaganda is big and easy to understand. For example, this poster shows that the Jews are a big octopus taking over the world. This propaganda is big, and anyone who sees it would totally get the big picture. Propaganda has to be big, as well as simple.
