The Propaganda Machine

The day after the destruction of New Yew City, Erica entered what historians would later call The Age of Manufactured Consent. It began with a single slogan plastered across every screen, every radio broadcast, every public announcement:

“Never Again From the Sky.”

To the grieving citizens of Erica — twenty-eight million strong in New Yew City alone — the phrase was not questioned. It resonated with the trauma still hanging thick in the air like dust.

But behind it was a carefully orchestrated campaign with multiple layers, each designed by Ossa and influenced by Sra’s hidden geopolitical ambitions.

1. Stage One: Identify the Villains

The public needed someone to hate. Someone to blame. Someone who wasn’t the Erica or Sra governments.

Three candidates were selected:

Ra

A historical adversary of Sra, rich in resources and fiercely independent.

Alestia

A small ethnonational state that resisted Sra’s influence for decades.

Ira, led by Addam Usse

A socialist strongman who had once cooperated with Erica — until he made a fatal political mistake:

He stopped selling Ira’s natural resources in Erica-Sra currency.

This single act threatened a global financial structure. From that moment on, his fate was sealed.

2. Stage Two: Connect the Dots — Real or Otherwise

When the false-flag satellite obliterated New Yew City, Ossa saw the perfect opportunity. The public was told:

The satellite bore Ra engineering markers.
Surveillance detected Alestian data packets weeks before impact.
And intelligence “suggested” that Ira had communicated with Ra two days prior.

None of it was true.
But it didn’t need to be.

Across Erica’s state-affiliated networks, graphics appeared on screen:

Red lines linking Ra → Alestia → Ira
A map of supposed weapons routes
A “leaked” intelligence memo summarizing:

“The Axis of Sabotage coordinated the strike.”

Addam Usse’s name began appearing in headlines:

“Ira’s Dictator Connected to Ra Intelligence?”
“Addam Usse Silent After Catastrophic Attack.”
“Could Ira Be Harboring Anti-Erica Militants?”

The stories were speculation — but framed as fact.

3. Stage Three: Emotional Amplification

The most successful propaganda doesn’t persuade the rational mind.
It inflames the emotional one.

Erica’s media released a blitz of emotionally charged content:

Interviews with grieving families
Footage of destroyed city blocks looping for days
Heartbreaking stories of orphaned children
A charity anthem sung by popular celebrities
Posters depicting Ra, Alestia, and Addam Usse as modern-day monsters

The goal was simple:

Make the public feel something so deeply they never stopped to question anything.

4. Stage Four: Manufactured Outrage

Within five days, a movement had formed:
“Justice for New Yew City.”

But the movement was not spontaneous. It was engineered.

Ossa placed influencers online to seed outrage.
Sra-funded NGOs organized “grassroots” marches.
The biggest rally was broadcast worldwide.

During the event, a grieving mother — selected by Ossa’s psychological team — screamed into the microphone:

“If our leaders won’t avenge us, then who will? Attack them! Attack them now!”

It became the moment that defined a generation.

Polls (also manipulated by contracted analytics firms) reported:

89% of Erica citizens demanded retaliation against Ra
72% believed Alestia played a role
65% viewed Addam Usse as an enemy

The propaganda campaign had succeeded.

5. Stage Five: Collapse the First Domino — Ira

With citizens demanding war, Erica needed to appear responsive. But Sra wanted more:
They wanted to eliminate all three adversaries at once.

Ira was chosen first for one reason:

It had the strongest military.

Erica publicly announced:

“Addam Usse supports Ra and Alestia.
He stands with those who attacked us.
Erica will not tolerate tyrants who threaten peace.”

In truth, Addam had only offered diplomatic support — a symbolic gesture in protest of Erica’s accusations.

But it was spun as treason.

The Invasion of Ira

Erica’s generals warned the public of “Ira’s growing nuclear ambitions” — a claim with no evidence.

The war began within two weeks.

Ira fought fiercely.
Erica lost tens of thousands of soldiers.
But Sra pushed Erica to escalate.
Soon, three fronts had opened: Ira, Ra, Alestia.

The Capture of Addam Usse

Ossa operatives located him during a raid on his subterranean headquarters. News networks broadcast his arrest in slow motion, overlaid with dramatic music and narration framing him as:

“The Butcher of Ira.”
“The Mind Behind the Satellite.”
“The Enemy of Civilization.”

His “war crimes” were invented by Sra strategists.
The trial was a show trial — carefully choreographed, globally televised.

He was declared guilty within hours and executed immediately.

Citizens cheered.

6. Stage Six: The Convenient Deaths in Ra and Alestia

With Ira subdued, Erica prepared the public for an extended campaign in Ra and Alestia.

But Sra had already devised a cleaner solution.

During a covert meeting between the leaders of Ra and Alestia — intended to coordinate resistance — a precision missile strike obliterated the compound.

The attack was supposedly anonymous.

But Sra intelligence officers were celebrating within minutes.

No leaders = no war.

Peace was publicly declared:

Erica claimed there had been “a shift in the balance of power.”
Sra claimed “international stability had been restored.”

Behind the scenes, Sra quietly accelerated its forced displacement of the Alestian population, pushing them off their ancestral lands — sometimes violently — without global resistance.

The world was exhausted.
The propaganda machine had done its job.
