Well well well, a clear and concise adjunct to the Herman/Chomsky’s “Manufacturing Consent” book from 1988 detailing the government and media’s efforts to blind us to the incalculable harm of Big Brother in action.
Thank you. Another beautifully written, incisive, important article exposing the perfidious nature of the US military-industrial complex. Brilliant! Am sharing with others. Very thankful for you.
Interesting contrast to Matt Taibi’s take on the Maverick film that he thinks is just good old American fun ride movie making. I tend to think that your take is much closer to reality, but then I hate war and movies that glorify it. Can't quite understand how people can be entertained by killing and the lies that make the killing palatable to the masses…
Thank you Mr. Cook. This is a great example of the news Americans will never see if they don't search for it. Such stories need to become viral in order to circumvent the Washington narrative cloak.

Wonder what would be the response to a film about making a war movie and the Pentagon's interference?
Thanks as always, Johnathan.
Good to see freedom of expression being exercised in the land of the free!
Just a thought having said that, could this not be seen as coercion and how would that affect First Amendment rights?
I'm guessing the filmmaker wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
