I think did a really nice job with taking the personified postcard and adding information to it to create another level of dialogue. Immediately, I get a sense of a leader speaking to the crowd with the microphone head attached to a body (resembling a german nazi unifrom) standing in font of a crowd. The other microphones in front of the object further emphasizes the importance of the occasion.
The imagery seems to be implying the idea of military control over society. The leader is holding up an outlet plug in place of his hand, which i think suggests that the leader has complete control of the people he oversees. In the background is the logo of Fox News- a news station that is widely thought to be a biased network. With the addition of Fox News the postcard supports the idea of control because a biased media outlet usually controls the stories they output to the public. That way, the public will only get one point of view of a subject matter.
What I think ties all of these ideas together is the short phrase "Frequency Control". Frequency relates to the soundwaves produced by the microphone (can also relate to the media, Fox News). Control solidifies the them of authority and dominance of the "dictator" figure.
