[After Italy's 1935 invasion of Abyssinia] from Bari in southern Italy a radio station beamed forth in Arabic bursts of anti-British propaganda and concluded each broadcast with a juicy pornographic anecdote. This novel mix of the seditious and the salacious enjoyed a wide currency throughout the duration of the [Palestine] Revolt.

John Keay, Sowing The Wind: The Mismanagement of the Middle East 1900-1960
What the...? That’s genius! It’s one thing for wannabe libertines and shoddy eroticists to earnestly bruit about the revolutionary potential of sex; quite another to find an effective way of putting it into practice. A more high-octane version of The Bottom Line, this combination of revolutionary propaganda and lustful filth should be a winning formula:
“‘The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses,’ she moaned as his forceful sliding their knees over the had broken the egg whisk.”

Perhaps some of you have your own ideas how this technique would work.*
