The Vault Expert - Patti Katter | The Psychology of Propaganda

In times of conflict and uncertainty, information spreads quickly and emotions often follow just as fast. In this episode of The Vault Expert, Patti explores the psychology of propaganda and why it has been used throughout history to shape public perception.

From ancient empires to modern media, propaganda has always been part of human communication. It is not always about lies. More often it is about framing information in ways that influence how people interpret events.

With global tensions high in March 2026 and the world watching the escalating conflict with Iran, narratives are forming across governments, media outlets, and social platforms. Each message emphasizes certain facts, language, and imagery designed to shape how people see the situation.

This episode breaks down how propaganda works, why humans are naturally susceptible to it, and how to remain thoughtful in a fast-moving information environment.

You will hear discussion about:

• The historical roots of propaganda from ancient Rome to modern wars

• How governments have used messaging to rally populations and shape public opinion

• Why emotional triggers like fear and anger make narratives spread faster

• The role repetition and framing play in influencing perception

• How modern technology and social media accelerate information warfare

• Simple ways to slow down and think critically before reacting to headlines

Rather than becoming cynical about every message, the goal is awareness. Understanding how narratives are built allows listeners to step back, ask better questions, and avoid reacting to the loudest voices in the room.

In a world full of competing narratives, clear thinking and thoughtful conversation are more important than ever.
