69. I totally believe the media is complicit
In my opinion the media = owned by big money/corporate interests. War is the biggest generator of revenues for big business. Ergo as part of the military industrial complex, its to the media's interest to promote the war.

Take NBC / MSNBC / CNBC for example; owned by general electric which is one of the top military contractors providing munitions and armaments - yeah no conflict of interests there /sarcasm. Also, general electric (if I remember correctly) is part of the Morgan interests, as well is many other businesses. So we are right back to where we were once before in this country - a few family names controlling most every aspect of our country. Rockefeller, Morgan, DuPont, etc..

CBS is owned by Westinghouse and if I remember correctly is part of the Rockefeller interest, and of course we all know about Rockefeller and Standard Oil, which is now Exxon, Mobil, etc, etc..

Its been awhile since I researched these connections, but I am pretty sure I am remembering correctly.

This is exactly why our founding fathers forbid businesses from giving ANY money to politics --and-- from allowing them to buy into eachother's stocks.

It appears to me that our country needs a good house cleaning - if you ask me..
