Originally propaganda came into practice as a motto of Propaganda Fide, a congregation for propagating a particular faith. In the beginning, there was nothing sinister about it. It was simply a device to propagate some practice or ideology, typically on a bonafide ground. Propaganda was not meant to deceive you at all. However, during World War I, gradually they started to use it as a tool to propagate information to advance a particular desired effects. After that, it deviated from its original task even further, like most of the endeavors of humanity. It was getting used routinely to make people believe blatantly untrue things. Today, propaganda has become a pejorative term where it is the biased or misleading/false information, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view. This degenerated form of propaganda was established by using outright lies and deceptive words. The bigger the lie, given sufficient repetition, eventually people will most likely believe in it more firmly. Given the long history of use of propaganda, people are now evolved enough to recognize the propaganda and its evil nature. Meanwhile the purveyors of the propaganda evolved side by side too. Now, lies are no longer used as a good propaganda. Any lie can now be checked easily [given it is not a high level lie], from words of mouth in the web, YouTube, twitter or in public forums. So nobody uses lies as means for propaganda anymore. Now only the truths are used as a good propaganda, but only by twisting it and taking it out of the original context. Truths are excellent for a propaganda because truths have its own intrinsic power to convince unsuspecting people.

Why do the purveyors of propaganda need it still today? Because the purveyors know, human spirit is truly unconquerable, proven repeatedly by the long history of humanity. The only way the unconquerable human spirit can be subdued is to gain faith or confidence of the people by the conditioning effects of information, no matter whether true, partly true, or false. Why do they need your mind? Because by having your mind, that they don't have to do their own home works like growing food, making houses, arranging for their comfort and luxury. Everything in elite's possession, one way of another, comes from the work, blood, flesh or fleece of the sheep like people [i.e. the sheeple]. Off course, in exchange of your mind and devoted service, they will offer you the promise of "protection" from any future Bogeyman but only as long as their comfort and safely is not compromised. On the contrary, they have become the Bogeyman demanding your blind obedience and compliance. Sounds like an evil plan from the elite? Think again. You are given the gift of intelligence and free will. If you allow to deceive yourself by those people then the culprit is you and you deserve to be deceived and intellectually raped. This is how the new propaganda is not used to deceive you, rather it is used to help you to deceive yourself. And you deceive yourself not by lies but with truths of the propagators, but only with out-of-the-context truths.
