A lead paragraph says the programme welcomes former Viet Cong warmly and provides food and lodging, and captions mention rights during a 60-day stay and earning extra money. The tell is the selective view: smiling, occupied residents stand in for the centre as a whole. ## Propaganda techniques used in this poster [Testimonial](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/testimonial/) [Card stacking](https://propagandaarchive.org/techniques/card-stacking/) ## Text on the object Original (Vietnamese) · read from the image, not independently checked ``` TRUNG TÂM CHIÊU HỒI QUẢNG NGÃI Chương trình Chiêu Hồi của Chánh phủ Việt Nam Cộng Hòa tiếp đón nồng hậu những ai đã từng theo Việt Cộng chống lại nhân dân.
