War Made Easy reaches into the Orwellian memory hole to expose a 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, the film exhumes remarkable archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W. Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential administrations.

This Saturday I felt evocative and wanted to remember one of the songs of my youth that helped teach me about conscientiousness. Be sure to feed the light hearted child in yourself and your actual children with a little Holly Dolly in the video below this one.


Warning! Strong impulses to dance around like a childish goofball lay ahead...

Bushco and their unholy army of pro-war media enablers will spend hundreds of millions of dollars through direct government expenditures, blatant media cheerleading and outrageous front groups selling whole scale global warfare for trillions in profit for the sole purpose of telling the world this week the same shit they've been trying to sell for five years. "We're making Progress!" I hope for the sake of our planet and our children that people are no longer buying.
