To Sell A War
How could anyone trust the government or media after this?
Even when the MSM informs the barnyard animals that they have been played, the imbeciles still trust the talking heads on every issue. They gather and repeat verbatim whatever spin they heard on the news the previous evening, no questions asked, squawking like a flock of cockatoos.
To Sell a War
Aired in December 1992 as part of CBC programme the fifth estate. The programme was directed by Martyn Gregory and produced by Neil Docherty. It exposes the Citizens for a Free Kuwait campaign as public relations spin to gain public opinion support for the Gulf War.
As well, it reveals that Nurse Nayirah was in fact Nijirah al-Sabah, the daughter of Kuwait's ambassador to the United States Saud Nasir Al-Sabah, coached by Hill & Knowlton to forge her infamous testimony about Iraqi soldiers removing babies from incubators, which was widely reported and repeated throughout the media.

One of the oldest playbooks in the history of barnyard animals. This playbook has been used for centuries and continues to this day. In order to sell a war, a politician "needs to lie" to its own people. They have to get their people to hate the other side and convince them they are under immediate threat. You know, Colin Powell holding up a vial of laundry detergent saying Saddam Hussein was planing to use chemical weapons on Americans. And the barnyard animals fell for it.
But people are starting to wake up to this by now saying, that country who you want me to hate has never done anything to me. Why don't you Mr or Mrs politician put on your military uniform and go hit the front lines?
To his credit Muhammad Ali saw thru all this crap back in the 60's when he refused to fight in the Vietnam War by saying, “I ain’t got no quarrel with those Vietcong.”
He knew back then politicians love to sell war!
I don't mind people being stupid. I expect it. But what I do have a problem with is stupid people having the vote. They vote for stupid things that everyone (including the non stupid) end up paying for.
