Debunking A Century of War Lies

in #history6 years ago


In the modern age of democracy and volunteer armies, a pretense for war is required to rally the nation around the flag and motivate the public to fight. That is why every major conflict is now accompanied by its own particular bodyguard of lies. From false flag attacks to dehumanization of the “enemy,” here are all the examples you’ll need to help debunk a century of war lies.

Cheers for your real journalism mate, this will give me something to listen to on my long drive today

Wow! That was a really excellent video essay!

One of the things that struck me about all this was that the mainstream media did not report heavily on Libya. And, I did not know that the USA directly bombed the area, (except of course during the Regan era retaliation over the terror attacks in Italy).

Also it is mind boggling to see how many people have fallen in line with mainstream media in their hatred of Trump. Granted he's not exactly anti-war, but that isn't the point. My point is that the "left" has been transformed into a counterpart for the neo-cons fuming for war. And of course they want war with Russia. And if there are no Ruskies available, it seems Antifa will be happy to pound anyone's head in for exercising their First Amendment Right of Free Speech. (Also, I think the unthinking masses are why Zombie films were so popular leading up to the rise of the violent left. While I know deliberate entrainment exists, I also feel people are a bit psychic and it comes out in art, film, etc...).

And it seems the mainstream media has won a small battle in axing Alex Jones from social media. This is a massive tell of their desperation. And what I thought would happen is happening as classic liberals who would never click on an infowars banner, are now calling foul on the Tech Giants censorship of his platforms.

While on one hand I wonder if we will ever get to the point where The Corbett Report is censored for "hatespeech", on the other hand I feel excited about being alive in all this history. We are looking at an overt globalist takeover of social media. And combined with their dominance on mainstream media, right before a mid-term election in the USA, you have to laugh at bit at how they do not have the creativity to counter independent media.

Many people feel we would all be breathing radioactive dust now if HRC became POTUS. And what I call "The Grand Conspiracy" wherein the world is transformed into a "beyond-1984" Hunger Games global gulag would be incubating as the nuclear fire settled.

And it seems being able to hammer people down in the guise of "hatespeech" is yet another lie by omission to add all this.

Thank you for expanding on Smedley Butler's War is a Racket speech. The whole left/right paradigm is such a transparent narrative when we look at the long view you provide here. During the segment when Phil Donahue was discussing his producers were pro-conservative, I realized CNN and several other MSM outlets have turned the tables and only have (so-called) liberal hosts.

BTW - Do you subscribe to a service to get all that great b-roll? If not? Where do you get it?

With an excuse of cheap nationalism, nations went to war regardless of anything, but that changed because that does not influence, really that so many years of human governments have only given us pain and suffering.

Your work is very good, I congratulate you.

Sadly it has become apparent that you cannot trust anything the government says. Keep up the good work James so more people will be able to see through the lies and finally wake up.

The title should have been “Debunking a Century of War Lies - it should be common sense by now” 😅

Their unrealistic, and unattainable lust for power drives them to perpetrate this unimaginable crimes on humanity! Which makes one wonder, do these people have any semblance of humanity left in them, or are they just empty shells possessed by some demons with the sole objective of total annihilation of the whole human race?

Awesome video, keep it up!
