Photos show a crowd with banners, a march behind a South Vietnamese flag, a petition handed to the province chief, a speaker for refugees from communism, and cyclo and Lambretta drivers joining in. The tell is the crowd count and the inclusion of every group, which presents the demonstration as the voice of the whole town. ## Propaganda techniques used in this poster [Bandwagon](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/bandwagon/) [Name-calling](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/name-calling/) ## Text on the object Original (Vietnamese; Central Highlands language (probably Jarai)) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` ĐỒNG BÀO PLEIKU HOAN HÔ HỘI NGHỊ THƯỢNG ĐỈNH HONOLULU VÀ TỐ CÁO ÂM MƯU TRUNG LẬP VÀ HÒA BÌNH GIẢ TẠO [Highlands-language line] ANĂ BON SANG PLEIKU HOAN HÔ TƠLƠI PƠJƠNUM PRŎNG PƠ HONOLULU LAIH ANUN TỐ-CÁO TƠLƠI KIĂNG KƠ TRUNG-LẬP LAIH ANUN TƠLƠI Hàng trăm đồng bào họp mét-tinh ngày 13 tháng 2 năm 1966.
