Hi! I’m Michael Stroup.

About Me
A man with short hair and blue eyes wearing a dark button-up shirt standing in a blurred indoor background.

I study how rhetoric, propaganda, and communication shape societies. My mission is to expose misinformation and manipulation while helping leaders, educators, and thinkers reclaim clarity and influence.

“The media serve, and propagandize on behalf of, the powerful societal interests that control and finance them.”

— Noam Chomsky

My
Ethos

I believe communication is the thread that binds leaders to their people, societies to their futures, and individuals to their own freedom. Grounded in history, sharpened by research, and tested in practice, I use rhetoric and communication theory to challenge false narratives, expose propaganda, and help leaders reclaim authentic influence.
