The Pentagon's Propaganda Program-1/3

The New York Times has revealed new details on how the Pentagon recruited more than seventy-five retired military officers to appear on TV outlets as so-called military analysts ahead of the Iraq war to portray Iraq as an urgent threat. The Times reported the Pentagon continues to use the analysts in a propaganda campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration's wartime performance. We speak with Col.

As long as we live in a system that allows dominance and power over others it will be abused.

Amy Goodman always makes a shitload of accusations but never says anything of substance. What a cunt

"Democracy" today means you have the right to vote for your favorite crook who works for Wallstreet and against you.

Democracy = Demos + Cratos = Rule by the people ( Cratos = rule/state )

The ancient Athenians didn't vote for the government, they were the government.

I prefer the Pentagon's propaganda than the Democracy Now propaganda.
