The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “The Anti-Media Campaign Against Fascism“…
Rayn: ❤ I love it when I’m scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed, and see one of my un-propaganda posters making the rounds! 🙂
Sara: That’s so cool Rayn! 122 shares and countless comments! Your pics are going viral! WOOT WOOT!
Brooke N.: Rayn, did you do the graphic? That’s great!
Rayn: Thanks, Brooke. This is actually an old WWII poster that I edited and altered a bit. First, I meticulously erased the original pro-war, “buy defense bonds message” surrounding the graphic (while careful to retain the artwork underneath), then I chose my own special message – all to turn propaganda into un-propaganda! 🙂
Here is the original, created in 1941:

Brooke N.: Perfect.
