Resisting the Drums of War. This video describes how the misguided and destructive war in Iraq was promoted by targeting our concerns about vulnerability, injustice, distrust, superiority, and helplessness. The continued occupation of Iraq--or an attack on Iran--will likely be sold to us in much the same way. This video examines these warmongering appeals and how to counter them.
Forewarned is Forearmed: Bush on Iran. This video offers a brief but troubling chronicle of the president's public warmongering and demonization of Iran. The White House's propaganda campaign laying the groundwork for military action against Iran dates back more than six years--to Bush's 2002 State of the Union address in which he designated Iran as a founding member of the "axis of evil."
How Conservatives Exploit Our Five Core Concerns. This video describes how today's conservatives have used appeals to our core concerns about vulnerability, injustice, distrust, superiority, and helplessness in order to further a narrow ideological agenda that actually benefits very few while leaving most of us worse off.
