War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death (2007)

"War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations." -imdb.com

This video is completely idiotic and hypocritical. It downs U.S. propaganda when this video itself is nothing but propaganda. There is no backed factual reports on anything. It is full of nothing but complete biased opinions. Too many times in this video did they contradict what they said and did not explain to you their "truth". It is a video created on conspiracies and the hope of lies. The government did not have all the facts, and the war may have been a mistake in your eyes, but it doesn't mean that the American sheeple were lied to by the government. This video is made to manipulate and not to report facts so that you can make up your own mind.

Think a little about the great and painful price our children, grand children, and great grand children will eventually pay, for all the crimes against humanity these succeding fascist thugs in our country have been and still perpertuating around the world, God help us all.

This should be required viewing in every high school. It shows me how duped I was at the beginning of the Iraq invasion. The people are so very easily lied to.

I agree, war is not a cause, it is an effect. But what is the cause that makes war the effect? It's not world domination, a one-world government, anarchy or the inalienable rights of the people. In fact, the answer is quite simple. The cause of war is the military defense contractors and all their minions in the pursuit of money, money, money and even more money.

War is not a cause; it is an effect. Neither is peace a cause, but an effect. Not one person in this entire script had the insight to expose the self-evident fact that the breeding-ground of war is ANARCHY. In short, there is no law to prevent it. The blindness of the American public as to the very history of the United State's founding is overwhelmingly apparent throughout this video. The Founders ELIMINATED the anarchy between the several states by raising the level of LAW beyond that of the states. That principle was enshrined in the 9th Amendment which refers to inalienable "rights retained by the people." The collapse of time and distance between humans in the 20th/21st centuries renders ALL NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONS OBSOLETE! They perpetuate a condition of world anarchy aided by such political anonolies as the United Nations, a veritable oxymoron hiding the reality of one human world. The final humiliation is the so-called Nuclear Option which challenges humanity AS SUCH to recognize itself AS A SPECIES which alone can organize its collective survival.
Einstein himself decried the nation-state as the harbinger of final destruction of humanity while declaring that only a world government could avert that catastrophe. Garry Davis, World Citizen, Coordinator of the World Government of World Citizens.

Too bad every time there's an eye opener subject and evidence, the powers that be will make you sleepy and lull it over again, making you questions yourself and what you were just thinking.
That's spin. It's been done since WWII and post WWII, that's how the game is played in the real world. A world of a little truth in every lie.
