    How The Government Manipulates Facts (2010)
    Director: Alan Lowery, John Pilger
    Writers: John Pilger
    Stars: John Pilger, Stuart Ewen, Melvin Goodman
    Genre: Documentary, War
    Country: United Kingdom
    Language: English
    Also Known As: The War You Don't See
    Release Date: December 14, 2010 (United Kingdom)
    Filming Location: UK
    Synopsis:
    Thought-provoking documentary on war propaganda: how governments manipulate the facts and how most media let them get away with it. WWI, Vietnam War, post-2001 Afghanistan, post-2003 Iraq, Palestine: a historical account of PR, embedded journalism, lies and cover-ups, but also of courageous journalists who disclose the truth.
    Reviews:
    "This is, I agree, compulsory viewing. This is the first documentary about the corruption of war by propaganda which serves to progress the argument beyond the usual hysteria. Pilger has, with this film, moved away from the slew of similar-themed documentaries which add little to the debate but more circular arguments. Instead, Pilger goes straight for admissions of guilt. He manages to get some truly frank disclosures of global conspiracy and madness from the most relevant people he could realistically get access to, and for this he deserves the praise.
    It can be argued, and it will be no doubt, that there is very little material to act as a counterweight to his position in the film. But after you finish watching it, you will hopefully realise what a stupid criticism it is to make in the first place, considering what this documentary is designed to rally against.
    I won't get into the moral position it presents, as that's up to you in the end, but I'd be hard pushed to find anybody not moved, repulsed or outraged by this film, or all of those things simultaneously. Just watch it. Do it now."

There's nothing u can do for some people. Some actually have fetishes and need to be told what to do. A Masochist needs a Sadist and those handlers are GR8 Sadists.

      They intentionally made the word. Conspiracy theorist to discredit those telling the truth. They sit in the dark manipulating, And creating false narratives. Perpetuating what I like to call, The Truman Show reality. This false reality is real to those it is manipulating. To Truman it is real. To the people of this country and abroad it is real. But in fact it is the worst propaganda this Earth has ever seen. Or ever will see again. The citizens are Truman. Being propagandized in everything they do. Turn on the TV, propaganda. Go to the super market, propaganda. Manipulation at every corner. They do this by perpetuating fear. The earth is going to be destroyed by a, b, or c, Leave your safe haven I.E. your home you might be shot in a mass shooting. Go to the grocery store, the movies etc. MASS SHOOTING, Everywhere. This is all a false narrative. In which they control, All of it is done by design and is done for the sole purpose of them (Deep State, Shadow Government, Bilderberg's, the Rothschilds. They go by many names) creating a one world government for the soul purpose of them being in control of everything. The deep States drug is control. They are addicts in the sense, That this hunger for control is like a heroine addict being addicted to heroine.
      "Come out of her, Come out of Babylon . Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

      Yeah, I had a conversation with a former boss of mine and she got so pissy because I brought up the Bilderberg Group. Not only did she refuse to believe it was even possible, let alone fact, she then went on to defend them by saying if they did exist they'd have our best interest at heart! That's how blind so many people actually are. It disgusts me. Once I mentioned Alex Jones, she went on a rant about how if he talks about it there's no possible way it's true. I think sometimes these people allow themselves to be lied to because I guess they feel that being blind to it and pretending it doesn't exist, helps them cope with reality. It's people like her that are as much a problem as the group itself.

I could never make sense of the typical news coverage of events in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iraq as they were happening, for example : so produced and propagandistic, and yet so fragmented in the way that the true intentions of those conflicts were hidden from view.

    This is “Truth to power” in action .
    An example of what true journalism looks like and what the American mainstream media has long since forgotten… or perhaps never truly had.
    Robert C. Maynard once said , “Journalism is not just a job, it is a public trust. We have a responsibility to report the truth, to be fair and accurate, to be independent and fearless, and to hold those in power accountable.”
    God bless and keep safe the men and women who
    are brave enough chase away the darkness by illuminating the truth. They are the ones who bring me hope.

      Honestly when they called Bernie sanders a Russian agent and a racist back 7-8 years ago and tried to destroy him just to get someone like Hillary Clinton in there - We should have known how low and sick our media has become or always was.
      Think about it- they allowed Hillary Clinton , a corrupt life time elite piece of garbage to call tulsi gabbard a Putin puppet while ignoring that Hillary herself was taking tens and hundreds of millions of dollars from Russian oligarchs in her “Clinton foundation “ and our media helped her cover up and then smear tulsi as the Russian agent. That’s beyond disgusting and sickening but look at cnn or MSNBC comments …. People to this day are clapping and repeating the same exact things from 6-8 years ago that they have said about trump every day and not once were they correct and it doesn’t matter ! I don’t like trump but I can’t stand that people who have raped our system and are sooo corrupt and disgusting In power for decades are somehow saints and hero of democracy and savior of the “people” while the dude who was in office for 4 years total while the entire media dissected and ripped apart and analyzed every facial expression and demanded accountability for fake traitor insanity !!!!- And I have to believe trump is the threat to us ?

      Facts always matter. Law Enforcement and the Prosecutors has to serve the People in their Communities are remove themselves from that Community no matter the Race or status of a born American. Our enemies do not get to use any success our enemies feel that they have and disrupt our lives without being arrested and prosecuted. There is not any money or success that can be obtained to seek revenge. This is all disinformation. Facts have to be used and obtained in specific ways. Facts cannot be used while committing a crime towards the Person/ People without the ones committing the crime being held liable. Facts are what determines the laws in effect currently damages in Civil and Criminal justice systems. Our enemies do not get to make up laws or state that they do not know the current laws working in public Departments where the Employees has to update their laws or be held liable. There is not any powerful Races or their money that get passed these facts. Law Enforcement and the Prosecutors are removed a lot and fired every time Someone gets caught using both to tamper with evidence, remove evidence, extort, violate privacy, defamation, harassment, etc. and that should stay consistent and active in our Communities to stop corruption. I personally despise ignorant People who get in these jobs and want to use old laws or laws that do not exist to try to intimidate us for our enemies. Those kinds of troublemakers are the worse and the ones who should be removed from society immediately after being removed from their jobs for helping our enemies to commit these serious crimes against us.

    I appreciate the information being reported here, but I can't help but raise an eyebrow of this using the standard mondo pseodo-documentary format... Which is, itself, a form of PR that presents gonzo journalism or emotionally-charged dramatizations as matters of objective fact.
    I think the lesson here is to be vigilant of any media that attempts to appeal to your emotions, *especially* if that appeal tries to reinforce a viewpoint that aligns with your own bias.

    The use of propaganda to justify the killing of Palestinian civilians is a grave concern. However, with the advent of social media, we now have greater freedom to reject such propaganda and analyze the situation for ourselves. We no longer have to rely solely on the truth as presented by others. Instead, we can critically evaluate information, form our own opinions, and seek out diverse perspectives. This newfound freedom allows us to strive for a clearer understanding of complex issues and work towards a more informed and equitable society.

    The reporters are really going with the ‘We just report the statements and did our jobs.’…. That’s not the point is it? The point is that you don’t question what you’re told and blindly report it as truth without second guessing if the person who said it is being truthful or not. So in essence, you did not, in fact, do your job.

      Depopulation may have been a reason indeed but I think the mighty dollar has been the leading cause through most of our country's history anyway. But to answer your question about what can we do; we need to remember who we are. God created man, man created government, government created legal fictions which in a court room are "Persons" which are our names in capital letters. So government is God of "PERSONS" (all caps) while man is God of government. More accurately we created government to serve us. It's our beast of burden and nobody else's. We need to wake up and understand that our names in all capitals. Is not us. A living person"s name begins with a capital letter and the rest are lower case. Only dead people and corporations are in all caps. By doing this the government has created a vessel or a citizen SHIP and governs us under admiralty maritime law which is the law that governs business. It's not the law of the land AKA commen law. When we accept the all caps name as our own we are volunteering to have our lives monitized and we trade our rights for privelidges and benefits and we become property of the us government we need to remember WE created government to serve us so we need to get back to basics and gold our representatives responsible for overstepping their authority and fo back to being a Republic. I know people are going to hate me for what I have to say next but it needs to be said. Democracy is a weapon used to being down Republics. Rome was a great Republic until 200 years before it's demize when it became a Democracy. Every Democracy throughout history prior to the U.S. has failed. The average length of time for a Democracy to survive is 200 years . The Republic still exists. Let's get back to the way our founding fathers created this country as separate Independant Republics. Remember our pledge of alegents ". to the flag and the Republic for which it stands.". Repudiate the debt, coin and print our own money, make government more transparent. Reduce military spending. When you put the cost of nuclear weapons back into the military budget and get it out of the mining and mineral budget and you will see that the United States spends more on it's military than the rest of the entire world combined! That's insane. Medical pays individual pill price for the millions of pills it buys, that's insane too. We must also remember that a house decided cannot stand so we need to come together as one. That means conservative with liberals, republicans with democrats, blacks with whites, Islamics with Christians and Jews and we must realize that we've been had. Take back our Republic peacefully. We can do it. We have done it already. When given 1984 give back 1776 !!!

    During Vietnam the government blamed the press for the coverage for the poor popular support. It was real, live combat, and displaying graphic carnage sometimes right behind them (Tet). Right to the living room by 6PM, mostly uncensored but drove the point about the wars progress in Southeast Asia on a daily basis.
    Gulf War, the US government was very very strict on journalists in the field, if any were allowed to send images they were screened for content, not many were not allowed to be embedded with the troops.
    OIF. Thousands of journalists in the theatre of operations all seemingly hired for PR purposes. Yet they slipped up once with the Jessica Lynch debacle showing some dead US troops laying in roadway in Nasiriyah.....images were quickly removed from content in rotation.
