  1. This is a poster for the event at the library. It says: Virtual: Stories Are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind. with Annalee Newitz. Thursday, November 7, 7pm eastern. In this talk, best-selling author Annalee Newitz traces the way disinformation, propaganda, and violent threats—the essential tool kit for psychological warfare—have evolved from military weapons deployed against foreign adversaries info tools in domestic culture wars. Newitz delves into America’s deep-rooted history with psychological operations, i beginning with Benjamin Franklin's Revolutionary War-era fake newspaper and nineteenth-century wars on Indigenous nations, and reaching ifs apotheosis with the Cold War and twenty-first century influence campaigns online. America's secret weapon has long been coercive storytelling. And there's a reason for that: operatives who shaped modern psychological warfare drew on their experiences as science fiction writers and in the advertising industry. Registration is required. This program is made possible by the generous donors to the Cary Library Foundation. Carylibrary.org
