The principles of war propaganda

The German translation of her book Principes élémentaires de propagande de guerre is available. She developed the “ten commandments” or, more precisely, the basic propaganda techniques of all war propaganda , which she took primarily from Arthur Ponsonby's classic propaganda research.

1. We don't want war. (Nous ne voulons pas la guerre.)
2. The opposing camp alone is responsible for the war (Le camp adverse est le seul responsable de la guerre.)
3. The leader of the opposing camp has the appearance of a monster, he is the bogeyman or "bad guy on duty". (Le chef du camp adverse a le visage du diable ou "l'affreux de service".)
4. We are defending a good cause and not self-interest. (C'est une cause noble que nous défendons et non des intérêts particuliers.)
5. The enemy knowingly commits atrocities; when we make a mistake, it is unintentional. (L'ennemi provoque sciemment des atrocités, et si nous commettons des bavures c'est involontairement.)
6. The enemy uses illicit weapons. (L'ennemi utilise des armes non autorisées.)
7. We suffer little losses; the enemy's losses are enormous. (Nous subissons très peu de pertes, les pertes de l'ennemi sont énormes.)
8. The artists and intellectuals support our cause. (Les artistes et intellectuels soutiennent notre cause.)
9. There is something sacred to our concern. (Notre cause a un caractère sacré.)
10. Anyone who questions our propaganda is a traitor. (Ceux et celles qui mettent en doute notre propagande sont des traîtres.)
