Leading up to America’s shameful illegal destructive and evil invasion of Iraq on 20 March 2003, all of the U.S. mainstream news-media were uncritically trumpeting the White House’s lies against Iraq and Saddam Hussain, none of these propaganda-organizations were reporting the clearly-established but unpublicized crucial truths. After the falsehood of the White House’s allegations had become no longer credible even to most of the highly deceived American public, the U.S. Government’s excuse became that it had all been due to ‘intelligence failures’ (and U.S.-and-allied ‘historians’ continue to this day to trumpet that lie), but this too was nothing more than a blatant lie.
Brother, you weren't the only one to perceive this BS. After the Clinton escapades in Iraq in the '90s, everyone should have been awakened. I got my dose of truth from shortwave radio. It was not only American propaganda, I got it from all over the world.
It was when the batshit insane NCOs boasted that our headquarter could take a nuclear hit at 400 yards and still stay operational that I realized that I was caught up in a dangerous death cult!
Especially since this was the end of the Cold War, it was very real, but not as real as now of course...
Oh well, I did get to create a lot of mayhem the rest of my time there, in some ways I became Rebel Nomad even then ;-)
