Ganser: Selling war is about selling a story

During AE911Truth’s anniversary event, The 24th Hour, Swiss historian Daniele Ganser gave an important presentation on the history of false flags and deceptive U.S. narratives that have initiated wars, all the way from the sinking of the USS Maine to 9/11.

When interviewed post presentation by AE911Truth’s Andy Steele, Ganser commented on the U.S. government’s use of a PR firm to sell the lie that Iraqi soldiers killed newborns at a Kuwaiti hospital to drum up support in the U.S. for the first Gulf War:

“People understand that stories are being sold, like the story, ‘You should buy this car’ or ‘You should eat your food in this restaurant … and advertisements are designed to influence people, otherwise you wouldn’t spend millions on advertising. People understand that… But people don’t think this goes to the level of selling wars.”

He concluded:

“It’s not so difficult. Just don’t believe what the president says when he says we have to go to war. That’s really not so difficult, because the president has to move through this very critical door where he says, ‘Now we go to war.’ And there I really urge people to pay attention and say ‘wait… which country? What’s the reason?’ And with 9/11, the attack was on September 11th, and the attack on Afghanistan was on seven of October. So, we don’t even have one month for people to reflect.”
