A comprehensive analysis of the potential effect of the media to stop war.

Wars can be stopped through communication. The military has to censor the media in order to keep wars going.

Your government, the U.S. government, has learned that to wage war they must censor all media. There are virtually no images of the current wars. The ones you do see are approved by the Pentagram so as to convey your perception that things aren’t all that bad. But as you read accounts of the many atrocities committed by the U.S. you find that we are waging a racist preemptive genocide and torture against Muslims with horrors far beyond anything we’ve ever seen or known about, outside of the Holocaust.

The Taliban never attacked the U.S. Iraq never attacked the U.S. But Osama Bin laden, a CIA operative under the tutelage of George H.W. Bush, is free. Why?

Pure truth.

The media largely ignores body counts. But you have the power to remind people by posting and re-posting images of war and torture, stories of body counts, atrocities, and genocides. it worked for Vietnam.

Body counts in the news during the Vietnam War helped to win popular opinion to stop it.
