In the run-up to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, officials repeat WMD and al-Qaeda claims while major TV outlets amplify the “drumbeat” until war shifts from a choice to an inevitability. This clip is from War Made Easy: How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death (2007), which traces the patterns of official deception and media complicity across successive U.S. wars. Featuring Norman Solomon, narrated by Sean Penn. #Iran #IranWar #NoWarWithIran #Media #Propaganda #WarPowers

When war in Vietnam was ramping up, Sen. Wayne Morse went on national TV and said the quiet part out loud: presidents don’t “own” foreign policy—and the public can’t judge a war if it’s denied the facts. That’s not nostalgia. That’s the missing muscle of democracy.

On the verge of a catastrophic war with Iran—one the public doesn’t want—here’s the closing of War Made Easy (2007): Martin Luther King’s “Beyond Vietnam” speech laid over Vietnam Iraq horror, fused into one sickening loop. Same sales pitch. Same “serious” faces on TV. Same bodies. Full film: bit.ly/4l42Jqn
