A very good article on the power of disinformation in driving political support for the war machine. Its nothing new however, as a young teenager, who was raised in the Cold War 50s, I initially supported the Vietnam War and believed the big lie that we were defending democracy there. The Gulf of Tonkin incident was a total fabrication but both political parties promoted the CIAs and Pentagons BS then which is even worse than the situation today.
