BOMB FIRST, CAPTION LATER -- new short.
In 2003 the NYT helped sell the Iraq invasion and apologized in a four-paragraph footnote a year later. By then roughly 200,000 Iraqi civilians were dead.
In 2025 the same playbook ran on Iran. "Weeks from a bomb." "Obliterated."
That's not manufacturing consent. That's manufacturing cover.

Bomb first, caption later.
2003: NYT manufactured consent for Iraq, apologized in a footnote.
2025: Same playbook on Iran -- "weeks from a bomb," "obliterated," intelligence laundering.
Only 16% of Americans bought it. Bombs fell anyway.

The propaganda machine was built to last. The movement carrying it wasn't.

#CitationsNeeded pod | How Selective, Patronizing "Deradicalization" Discourse Pathologizes #AntiColonialStruggle
'In this episode, we break down the long history of reducing #liberationMovements to "radicalism," "terrorism" and a host of brain problems that avoid addressing the underlying reality of injustice, death and dispossession.'

#SpeakingOutOfPlace welcomes #AdamJohnson to discuss his book #HowToSellAGenocide (all royalties from which go to Middle East Children's Alliance)
"We talk about how the #media whitewashed Israeli lies, erased Palestinian voices, and contrived a way to make a political settlement seem impossible, and war crimes not only acceptable, but also inevitable."

"A striking datum of this war is how few attempts have been made at selling it, rhetorically dignifying it, morally arming it or situating it in some context of shared Western interests. [...] The right no longer caters to, nor needs, its liberal outriders. They hang on out of habit."
Richard Seymour on the #warOnIran

The First Casualty
They told you Iran's missiles were being swatted from the sky. They told you the Iron Dome was holding, the Patriot batteries were working, US and Israeli air power was surgical and winning. They told you this on the ABC. They told you this on Sky. They were telling you nonsense. MIT Professor Ted Postol — the man who proved the Patriot missile failed in the Gulf War while presidents were claiming a 97 percent success rate — has now established that current intercept rates against Iranian missiles run at a few percent at most. The systems are depleting. The decoys are multiplying. The official story is, in his own carefully chosen word, a fraud. The first casualty of war is truth. But the deeper insight, the one Phillip Knightley identified fifty years ago, is that the lies are not random. They serve purposes. And right now, they are serving purposes that Australians have every right to examine. -
"As missiles strike across #Israel and #Iran, what are we really allowed to see?
"With strict #censorship and limited access, #journalists and the public are seeing only part of the story: Who decides what information gets out, and what does that mean for truth in a war affecting millions?"

In an era of high-intensity social discourse, it is vital to question the motivations behind our collective focus. 🏛️⚖️
I’m sharing a timely new article by Dennis Joiner: "Culture War: How the Political Elite Distracts the Populace." For those interested in sociology and the mechanics of modern governance, this is a highly relevant read.

Washington Post idiot compares critics of the Trump administration's unconstitutional #war in #Iran to sympathizers for the Confederate Army:
"America's Civil War was a choice: Lincoln chose not to heed those [...] who agreed with the prominent publisher Horace Greeley. He said of the seceding Southern states, 'Let the erring sisters go in peace.'"
Forget that it was the Confederates' unprovoked attack on Union-held Fort Sumter that started the Civil War. *smh*
