Battlefield Hollywood with Tom Secker and Matthew Alford

Propaganda is a word thrown around, but very few people understand the nature of the indoctrination within the. United States. <a href="https://worldbeyondwar.org/the-pentagon-and-cia-have-shaped-thousands-of-hollywood-movies-into-super-effective-propaganda/">David Swanson of &#8220;World Beyond War&#8221; says:</a><br/><br/>When we imagine that the U.S. military only occasionally and slightly influences U.S. movies, we are extremely badly deceived. The actual impact is on thousands of movies made, and thousands of others never made. And television shows of every variety. The military guests and celebrations of the U.S. military on game shows and cooking shows are no more spontaneous or civilian in origin than the ceremonies glorifying members of the U.S. military at professional sports games&#8211;ceremonies that have been paid for and choreographed by U.S. tax dollars and the U.S. military. The &#8220;entertainment&#8221; content carefully shaped by the &#8220;entertainment&#8221; offices of the Pentagon and the CIA doesn&#8217;t just insidiously prepare people to react differently to news about war and peace in the world. To a huge extent it substitutes a different reality for people who learn very little actual news about the world at all.<br/><br/>The alliance between the military and Hollywood is the main reason that we have lots of big blockbuster movies on certain topics and few if any on others. Studios have written scripts and hired top actors for movies on things like Iran-Contra that have never seen the light of day because of a Pentagon rejection. <br/><br/>Today, we interview award winning researchers Tom Secker and Matthew Alford who have spent decades trying to uncover the shady relationship between Hollywood, the Pentagon, the CIA and the Department of Defense. In fact, very little gets made without approving eyes our national security state. <br/><br/>This is a must listen-to interview with Award Winning researchers <a href="https://www.spyculture.com/">Tom Secker</a> and Matthew Alford abou
