In John Huston’s classic 1943 documentary, The Battle of San Pietro, American soldiers run into battle, gunfire all around.

That harrowing immediacy is one reason James Agee called it “as good a war film as any that has been made,”—but it was entirely fake, staged with the help of the U.S. military to create better propaganda. Along with other staged documentaries, it was presented to the public and swallowed as an authentic work of non-fiction.   Continue reading “Lies the Greatest Generation Told Us”

Freedom Outpost – by Bradlee Dean

“To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.”

America knows that one great obstacle this criminal administration is trying to get over is the disarming of the American people. If it is not President Barack Hussein Obama blaming the American people for the crimes he and his administration are responsible for committing in Mexico, then it is his sidekick, Attorney General Eric Holder, trying to teach the media to brainwash America’s young.   Continue reading “We Will Not Be Disarmed – We the People are the Militia”

On Jimmy Kimmel’s ABC show earlier this week, “The O’Reilly Factor” anchor Bill O’Reilly called President Barack Obama a “patriot.” On his show on Thursday night, O’Reilly reiterated that sentiment, calling “almost every president” in the country’s history “a patriot.”

“I said on Kimmel that both President Bush the younger and Barack Obama are patriots because they served their country,” O’Reilly said. “You may not agree with them, alright? But I don’t think you say they’re not patriots unless you have, you know, evidence that is just through the roof. I think almost every president that’s ever served this nation has been a patriot, including Richard Nixon.”   Continue reading “O’Reilly Doubles Down on Obama Is a ‘Patriot’ Claim, Says Nixon a Patriot as Well”
