Yesterday I saw parts of a World War II documentary entitled “The Price of Empire” which was annoyingly loaded with Establishment disinformation, as most such documentaries are. Its narrative was seemingly taken verbatim from Establishment news that was disseminated in newsreels and printed on the front pages of the newspapers at the time, with the information also being infused with modern Establishment propaganda agendas.
As example of its bias, when the documentary introduced the rise of Nazism in the first episode, it claimed: “A new populist party OF THE RIGHT [emphasis mine] that had secured 2.5% of the vote previously, found its share jumping to 18.3% in 1930. The National Socialists are suddenly a serious political force.” But their claim that Nazis were “right wing” is not accurate, Nazis were LEFTISTS (socialists), not right-wingers. All of the most dangerous political movements in history have been left wing, including Neocons like the Bush family who are actually hard core leftists (and also Nazis) that pretend to be “right wing” so they can get away with it. See the video “Overview of America” for an explanation of the true meaning of “left wing” and “right wing.”
Another example of the documentary’s deceptive intent is in the episode entitled “A Day in Infamy,” where it gives a common Establishment narrative about the Pearl Harbor attacks that conceals the evidence showing that the United States facilitated the Japanese attack at the instructions of the global elite. (You can gauge a lot about the overall approach of any World War II documentary by first finding what it says about this event.) The documentary makes the ridiculous statement: “Japan did not want to wage war against the United States. Japan knew that it could never win such a war. What Japan wanted was to nullify American power for long enough to enable it to grab such a strong bargaining position that it would walk enriched from peace talks. That meant a preemptive strike designed to keep Americans out of the Japanese theater of operations.”
Interestingly though, the documentary makers apparently felt that they had no choice but to mention the fact that the commander of the U.S. fleet Admiral Kimmel and the army commander General Walter Short were publicly held responsible for the Pearl Harbor attack in a board of inquiry shortly after the attack, but were then exonerated after their deaths in 1999 “when a congressional committee found that intelligence reports that were available in Washington has not been forwarded to the two men..” However, the documentary makers seemed to do all that they could to try to insert that information in as brief of an aside as possible to make it seem as if it was an inconsequential aspect of the event, without mentioning the ramifications of it or any of the other facts associated with that matter.
A New American article by James Perloff entitled “Pearl Harbor: Hawaii Was Surprised; FDR Was Not” is an excellent explanation of the deceit associated with the attack. Also see a summary of a book written by Perloff entitled “The Shadows of Power” which explains that situation and many other similar little known facts about the actual activities of the global elite. (The book was first published in 1988, eleven years before Kimmel and Short were exonerated in Congress.)
(The documentary did mention something that I didn’t know before though— the fact that most of the ships that were attacked at Pearl Harbor were docked in very shallow water so they didn’t actually “sink,” which allowed them to be quickly repaired and put back into action. Wikipedia says “All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged, with four sunk. All but the USS Arizona were later raised, and six were returned to service and went on to fight in the war…”)
