By all rational accounts, the U.S. press' coverage of the Iraq war was nothing short of the most aggressive propaganda effort ever conducted on the U.S. population. The entire premise of the war -- that Hussein harbored massive, hidden collections of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) -- was not merely false, it was knowingly based on false intelligence. And yet in 2003 and 2003, the right-wing centers of the U.S. press bought into the story, and even managed to help Bush link Hussein with the 9/11 attacks in the minds of the U.S. public (many of whom still erroneously believe Hussein orchestrated these attacks).
Week after week, the lies from the U.S. press continued. Then, of course, there was the massive dramatization of "Saving Private Lynch," which later turned out to be a fabrication. It was Hollywood, military style. This, friends, is precisely the kind of thing produced by propaganda machines, not by fair and balanced reporting.
Most of the U.S. public remain convinced that the War with Iraq was fully justified. It was a "good" war, fought in the name of peace.
But you can't see the U.S. in its true light if you're addicted to the U.S. press. To get the real story on what the world thinks of the U.S., you'll have to leave the country for a while. Drive across our Northern border and visit our friends in Canada. Read their newspapers. You'll find headline after headline admonishing Bush and the United States for its comedy of errors and lies leading up to the War with Iraq.
Or visit London and ask a guy on the street what they think about the U.S. Just don't show him your U.S. passport, or you'll probably end up receiving a good beating. The fact is, the rest of the world thinks the U.S. has lost its mind. Truth be known, they're probably right.

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
