How To Sell A War

 

With the spigot of propaganda wide open and Washington appearing increasingly bent on instigating the next war, we thought lessons from past "wars" might help the people when thinking about what is spoon-fed to them each and every day. "To Sell A War" is a documentary that first aired in December 1992 exposing the Citizens for a Free Kuwait campaign as public relations spin to gain public opinion support for the Gulf War. Among other things, 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.

 

As a filmmaker and documentary maker, believe me, the truth is pretty much never as it is portrayed in ANY media, but somewhere in between.

 

There is no truth for us. There are fairy tales with elements that we are trained to believe in. All in a matter of arms production - now NATO is calling all NATO members to increase arms production - that is the solution they have came up with for the s...t they have made with the economy. Their imagination never moves an inch further from a war as a solution for everything

 

Selling a war became a business like any other. There are companies (like Hill & Knowlton) that are specialized in fabricating "proofs" for wars. "Brave new world" is here for a long time already
