Witness to War
Добавлен 20 май 2016
Their dispatches have whipped up patriotic fervor, brought down governments, stopped wars, soothed worried mothers and reshaped history.
From William Howard Russell in Crimea to Matthew Brady at Bull Run and Ernie Pyle at Monte Casino to Peter Arnett in Baghdad, the war correspondent has always been a mythical, courageous figure who shines the light where the military censors demand darkness.
"Witness to War" explores the irreconcilable relationship between the press and the military. The goal of the press is disclosure; the goal of the military and its government is to resist disclosure.

David Douglas Duncan Interview
David Douglas Duncan died last week, on June 7, 2018. I wanted to share the short interview I produced with Clete Roberts hosting, and Ian Masters directing.
We shot this in 1983 when USC was holding a Vietnam Revisited conference.
In between sessions we'd grab the participants and ask them to share their memories. In Duncan's case he also shared his photographs.
He was one of the most courageous combat photographers who had known combat since World War II, when he served in the Marines.
After Vietnam he started photographing other subjects, especially Picasso.

Colonel and Historian Cecil Currey Discusses What We Learned in Vietnam

The soldiers had no idea why they were there and the higher ups in the command chain wouldn't listen to what the troops were learning about fighting a guerilla war. The commanders had been trained to fight a war in Western Europe that would be against an invading Soviet army with tanks. Vietnam was an insurgency in the jungle. Currey bemoaned the fact that after the war the US was spending bill...

Morley Safer Interviewed About Vietnam 1983
This clip @00:30 is quite popular in Thai conspiracy activists that are no fans of “Royalty” especially now.
“Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” To believe we can fix this system at all, especially simply with a new president? That’s like believing you can clean a superfund site with a paper towel
NOBODY who is trying to tell me which of my fellow human beings around the world are my enemies, is a friend of mine.

And in the US they teach of the horrors that propoganda inflicted on the Holocaust. Nowadays NATO is a worldwide holocaust. To just BEGIN to start thinking, not living, freely nowadays, one must be an expert in psychology. It’s like trying to love your family members in a toxic household. You wish the best and would do anything, but in the end you know you can’t change a damn thing

The earth is flat, big foot is real, we never landed on the moon, Trump is a victim, aliens are everywhere, saddam has weapons of mass destruction, 911 was done with box cutters, #7 fell from fire! Its all mis information tbey keep selling us and getting away with.😮
Check out the book " Legacy of Ashes." 😮
Ever wonder why our war in Africa is not on the nightly news?
The CIA will buy movie scripts and book rights to prevent certain information getting out to the public.
The CIA was supposed to be an intelligence gathering agency. It sadly became independent from the government and became big businesses international hit squad.😮💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
My Friend Ted went through Army basic with the M-14 and never gave it up. My memory of the M-16A1 was that no matter how much you cleaned it it mis fired on the range and heated up cooking off rounds. It just attracted dirt and you could hear it in the action moving the bolt. The Drill sergeants told us in a war grab an AK-47 and familiarized us with it. " its all politics privates all politics!" 😮
Criminals
Nothing has changed in 60 years
If you dare to speak of what the CIA has *admitted* to doing, people will tell you to take off the tinfoil hat.

I wonder where I've heard atrocity and rape propaganda recently; sounds really familiar. Something about lamas or kamas or hamom. Just seems so eerily familiar to something I've heard recently, but can't put my finger on it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 for real
Sure looks like one of the tramps from the side view 😂
Johnson insulted Reedy sometimes. Idk why. One day he asked him "Is that as fast as your fat little legs will carry you.". We had been provoking North Vietnam for a while running fast boats well into their territorial waters. LBJ knew before he took office that "that renegade intelligence outfit" CIA had been planning war since the French left and the military-industrial complex was gonna get their war. He sold his Bell Helicopter stock right after he was sworn in. He needed Tonkin like FDR needed Pearl Harbor. Years later, we found out that much of our forces' weaponry from the WWII Pacific theater had been stashed somewhere out there to plan another money-making conflict.
Damn. So this is what Americans tax payers got? Create wars for nothing. We got millions of poor & homeless in need. What a waste....Hahaha
Certain cast of very privileged individuals, in some cases families, make wonderful amounts of money from the many artificially created wars, though.
This is on overdrive now.

Note the cigarette. He completely destroyed his voice. Near the end his throat was coated in thick heavy rattling mucous
For others that've read Stockwell's book "In Search of Enemies" - note attentively how he frames the entrance of Cuban forces and the sudden withdrawal of South African forces. Through other sources I subsequently learned they fought directly, and the Cubans won. It seems clear that he was censored from stating as much, and could only frame the issue and hope the reader could connect the dots.
I was in Angola, the Cubans never 'won', we were pulled out due to a unilateral agreement made by Cuba and RSA to both pull out, giving SWA independence. We could have taken all of Angola but were stopped by the CIA.
Modern media seems to be absolutely and completely controlled by the government.
😂 … lol … that the press & American’s can’t be as easily hoodwinked now … 😂
All A Government Psyop
The country has been republicated when ghw bush put the Reagan Star Wars satellite program went up in the air and down in the news. My exgingers parents fluent in Russian 3.5 years cia Korean War wearing an Army Majors uniform went everywhere. Then 40 years as a chief editor in New England. Go figure. Susan B. Anthony . Must be nice to send your kids to Loomis Chaffe! Gosh you’re so smart!
Do not believe that these people are not all crooked have been for over 40 years
Ever since George Bush Senior was in charge of CIA it has been crooked and used for manipulating the minds of the American citizens through the television
His book is really good, “In Search of Enemies.” Great title too.
"propagandizing the American public or Congress is not the CIAs job"best laugh I've had all week I may have woke the neighbors with that one
Rest in Peace Garrick Utley.

EVERY "news" source has an AGENDA -- and -- it BLURS the distinction between reporting and MANIPULATION . there are people in the business of weaponizing psychology . there are also people who use trauma for mind manipulation .
I agree. The number of people who really run things is very, very tiny, a fraction, really, compared to the billions of people alive. The billions of people are controlled through methods of persuasion that have been known since before the times of Plato. Human beings, their physiology and their psychiatry, have been studied far more extensively than any animal on the planet. News media could never, would never, be a 'free' enterprise in this system of a tiny portion ruling a vast amount of people from the shadows. Stockwell may be a rare exception. Or he could have been playing a role. Controlled opposition. Who knows? CIA is just one tiny tentacle on a many-tentacled monster. All the various intelligence agencies around the world are compartmentalized from the neck down, seemingly at odds with each other, yet the people who truly run them at the top are beholden to even more secretive people, behind the scenes, and all of those people are wired into the same group. You eventually get to . . . someone, or something . . . at the core, the center, of the web. And what that is, well . . .
I can only see one reason why a CIA officer is allowed come out and say yes it was the CIA and that is the CIA didn't do it and they don't even know who did it. Hmmmm making more sense now..
He says the coverage of Vietnam was very good.
So, can we consider some of what he says, "disinformation?"
then how exactly is the cia different from ccp? amreica keeps ranting about totalitarian ccp, but it's the same
CIA is worse if we're being honest.
Why was he talking to the NZ Ambassador at this time? The Opal File
Free country?
The world is a stage
Would this apply to the Isreal/Palestine mess as well?
Here after the attack on Israel
This type of fake news/propaganda continues today with slightly different methods now it done via the traditional and digital press along with social media.
Many of us believe cia is a intelligence gathering agency.... first off that's nothing but a cover story... gathering information is only a small part of what CIA actually does...the problem with the cia is it doesn't answer to nobody but itself and it's faceless backers.... that's the problem...it grew into a policy making arm of the government making democracy nothing but a facade.... it's fascism in disguise
A real 007 and lived to tell about it. Bad Mutha.
