To Sell A War - Gulf War Propaganda (1992)​

Aired in December 1992 as part of CBC programme the fifth estate. The programme was directed by Martyn Gregory and produced by Neil Docherty. It exposes the Citizens for a Free Kuwait campaign as public relations spin to gain public opinion support for the Gulf War. As well, 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.

". . . The invented story eventually broke apart and was exposed. (I first saw it reported in December of 1992 on CBC-TV's Fifth Estate Canada's "60 Minutes" in a program called "Selling the War." The show later won an international Emmy.) But it's been 10 years since it happened, and we again find ourselves facing dramatic decisions about war. It is instructive to look back at what happened, in order that we do not find ourselves deceived again, by either side in the issue.

Iraq invaded Kuwait in August of 1990. As the BBC reported: "The country's ruler, Sheik Jaber al-Ahmed al-Sabah, fled into exile in his armour plated Mercedes, across the desert to neighbouring Saudi Arabia."

The Kuwait government had to find a way to "sell the war" to the American public, who were interested, but not deeply involved. So under the auspices of a group called Citizen for a Free Kuwait, which was really the Kuwait government in exile (the group received almost $12 million from the Kuwaiti government, and only $17,000 from others, according to author John R. MacArthur) the American PR firm Hill & Knowlton was hired for $10.7 million to devise a campaign to win American support for the war. Craig Fuller, the firm's president and COO, had been then-President George Bush's chief of staff when the senior Bush has served as vice president under Ronald Reagan. The move made a lot of sense after all, access to power is everything in Washington and the Hill & Knowlton people had lots of that.

It's wasn't an easy sell. After all, Kuwait was hardly a "freedom-loving land." Only a few weeks before the invasion, Amnesty International accused the Kuwaiti government of jailing dozens of dissidents and torturing them without trial. In an effort to spruce up the Kuwait image, the company organized Kuwait Information Day on 20 college campuses, a national day of prayer for Kuwait, distributed thousands of "Free Kuwait" bumper stickers, and other similar traditional PR ventures. But none of it was working very well. American public support remained lukewarm the first two months.

According to MacArthur's book "Second Front," the first mention of babies being removed from incubators appeared in the Sept. 5 edition of the London Daily Telegraph. The paper ran a claim by the exiled Kuwait housing minister that, "babies in the premature unit of one of the hospitals had been removed from their incubators, so that these, too, could be carried off." Two days later, the LA Times carried a Reuter's story that quoted an American (first name only) who said, among other things, that babies were being taken from incubators, although she herself had not seen it happen.

From there it began to pick up steam, as one media unit after another started repeating the story without checking it. Sensing an opening, the Hill & Knowlton people jumped on the story.

The key moment occurred on October 10, when a young woman named Nayirah appeared in front of a congressional committee. She told the committee, "I saw the Iraqi soldiers come into the hospital with guns, and go into the room where 15 babies were in incubators. They took the babies out of the incubators, took the incubators and left the babies on the cold floor to die."

Hill & Knowlton immediately faxed details of her speech to newsrooms across the country, according to CBC's Fifth Estate's documentary. The effect was electric. The babies in incubator stories became a lead item in newspapers, and on radio and TV all over the US. . . . . "

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.

Iraq really got screwed by the British, their borders drawn up really fucked them over, took away their only deep water port and gave it to Kuwait.

Iraq really got screwed by the British, their borders drawn up really fucked them over, took away their only deep water port and gave it to Kuwait.

Britain drew up those borders and all of the middle borders, Israel, Syria, Jordan etc after WW1. They told one main Arab tribe hey help us defeat Turkey, who controlled that region, and we will give you Israel. And at the same time Rothchild was working and the Balfour Declaration to give it to the Jews lol. Dealing from the bottom of the deck.

That's the thing here that bothers me. .. we have all sorts of commonwealth spooks here, and our CFR media, which of course, is a sister organization to the RIIA out of London. . . and of course, our Deep State is tied at the hip through the GCHQ, (You know, the folks that controlled Obama, and spied on Trump?.) Folks don't really get it, nor do they understand, how diametrically opposed, a constitutional monarchy, and liberal democratic republicanism are. . . and yet, we are controlled by them, and they have been trying to destroy our bill of rights for at least eighty years. (Now they have a prince actually IN OUR NATION, fooling us to believe he is estranged, on a think tank, trying to end the first Amendment. )

Prince Harry Says America’s First Amendment Is ‘Bonkers’

Prince Harry said in a recent podcast interview with Dax Shepard that America's First Amendment is "bonkers."

If our banking and media had not been subverted, nearly a century ago. . . to the monarchy, would we have ever even been involved in WWI? WWII? Would we have a private banking cartel putting our people further and further into debt? Making us homeless. . just as Jefferson predicted? I have seen the tent cities spring up, all over this nation since 2008. . just as Thomas Jefferson foretold.

The U.S.A. is just as much a victim of the commonwealth, as those tribes in the middle east. And now? The Kings and Queens of Europe? They want us to defend a bunch of Nazis against the Russian Bear. . . why? How does that help the small farmer and small businessman in small town America?

That is all we witness when we turn on the TEE VEE's anymore . . propaganda on all the channels, on the left-wing and right-wing channels. You know it is bad, when Sean Penn is doing a stint on Sean Hannity.

The WWI Conspiracy​

11/19/2018
What was World War One about? How did it start? Who won? And what did they win? Now, 100 years after those final shots rang out, these questions still puzzle historians and laymen alike. But as we shall see, this confusion is not a happenstance of history but the wool that has been pulled over our eyes to stop us from seeing what WWI really was.


This is the story of WWI that you didn’t read in the history books. This is The WWI Conspiracy.

US Ambassador Glaspie:​

"We have no opinion on your Arab-Arab conflicts, such as your dispute with Kuwait. Secretary (of State James) Baker has directed me to emphasise the instruction, first given to Iraq in the 1960s, that the Kuwait issue is not associated with America."​

(Saddam smiles)​

Translation: Go ahead and invade Kuwait. The Gulf War followed which led to the invasion of Iraq which led to about 3,000 dead civilians in NYC, 2001. Neither Bush was held responsible for the massacre. That's propaganda for you. I think it's here to stay.
