30 years old and nothing has changed. This is a great piece, but it's sad that it's still relevant!

[@jaccusenews]

Indeed, it's more relevant than ever.

[@Beast777Mode]

a lot has changed. It's 10000x worse now

[@mitchrijkaard6757]

A lot of the time when they tell us this type of stuff they give us the feeling that something is being done about it. Then they can keep doing it.

[@unsheepled]

Au contraire , lts a 1000x worse edited : someone else said it better already

[@MyMyMy69]

ExAclty ; same spot ; same story . Only now it’s worse…

[@mlittlitt]

I forgot what real news is like.

[@tammywines7343]

I watch citizen journalists! They are actually on the streets getting the truth and relaying it as it happens. Just look at CNN or msnbc, during the 2020 Riots. Buildings being burned down ( right behind these morons) but mostly peacful lol yeah OK. I do believe the CIA sent in agitators, race baiting by all involved. Hate being fueled, division, crime, we have been had, lied to, used, abused by these alphabet groups for 100 plus years. They see us pushing back, standing up so they bring on more ! We must keep going hard against the evil machine.

[@Michael98721]

Not sure if there is any reliable news out there any more!

[@darkone9572]

Its not anymore !!

[@muziklvr7776]

It never existed, the internet is the reason things like this are getting exposed.

[@skrongo]

3:18 we moved into Angola first and Russians responded to that. Sounds familiar anyone? Exactly what happened in Ukraine with US and Russia.

[@Lyrakill]

US is saying the Russia invasion in Ukraine was UNPROVOKED. 3:16 SAME narrative

[@Ogun999]

😳😳

[@Clayton.Bigsby.360]

Absolutely

[@8888LR]

U.S. is the biggest terror

[@jefffarmer5785]

Lies to provoke conflict to brainwash the poor to make the rich, wealthy... (The (REAL) 'American-way' (now))...

[@Michael98721]

Exactly!

[@huntermason3857]

how and why does this only have 5000 views more people need to see this great canadian reporting at its best

[@sonafabix]

The algorithm is designed by psychos. Research The Finders

[@fakeologist1]

Eric was a star.

[@iannah.c]

Censorship.

[@anothercomment3451]

Because all things on the "web" are manipulated, tracked, and used without the best interest of citizens at heart?

[@Kapere-J3s3s]

Shadow banning is active.

[@Orf]

11:45 ”The charge makes the headlines. The retraction makes the inside pages.”

[@Caperhere]

Nice to see someone has actually used the term “ Fake News” properly.

[@brettsilva7317]

Trump used it properly.

[@Michael98721]

Trump uses it correctly all the time!

[@MrAckers75]

Now move this into social media and here we are

[@murrayscott3513]

Fifth Estate and W5 were always a good watch back in the day.

[@katharina...]

All you need is a good story to manipulate the masses.

[@j.l.887]

Manufactured consent.

[@cybil6853]

I've always wondered how the person taking videos of war, never gets shot by any of the bullets flying by.

[@mr.dirtbiker7176]

It’s a war crime to aim for a journalist I’m pretty sure, it still happens tho

[@Kapere-J3s3s]

Embedded journos and occupying forces are one and the same team.

[@marcgatto9675]

Back when the CBC was actual journalism. And people were very sceptical. Although there was an Anti-Regan element to the story.

[@Cosmic_Soul]

These days, Trudeau reads the mind of his master and starts to bark, e.g. China affairs.

[@thorinbane]

Because Raegan, mulroney and thatcher where very happy exploiting and demolishing countries around the world.

[@nolimit4117]

The first time I did a search for "William Casey CIA" KZbin said "this action is not allowed"

[@charlesscott4722]

🤣🤣 That's exactly what search to end up in this video. "William Casey CIA"

[@yonb7593]

Jonas Savimbi started as a Marxist. When he saw that he could get money from Reagan, he became a born again capitalist.

[@billbobaggins8133]

that's not capitalism, try again.

[@softtailtc88]

TIMELY IN 2020

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

And nothing's changed, same methods used still.

[@guerreroisking8041]

This more true now then ever. People don’t even know or don’t realize, or don’t care and want to live in their bubbles.

[@sobdjs]

Gullible people think this stuff doesn't still happen today.

[@marioncheatwood6723]

Now is a repeat of 1980s

[@shopsshire9282]

Governments have always tried to manipulate a certain narrative. Why does this surprise anybody? Nothing new under the sun. Go back to ancient Greece, Egypt, Babylon.

[@Orf]

3:15 “we moved Into angle the first in the Russians responded to us.” That’s the exact opposite of what the propagandists reported

[@ChrisJensen23]

Check out more John Stockwell interviews on Alternative Views.

[@JohnJones-oy3md]

Well, thankfully in 2022 we can fully trust our media and intelligence services.

[@marshalllapenta7656]

Trump would have a field day with this

[@thorinbane]

Trump followed the same path, its how he attacked Syria and took their oil and wheat that he then bragged about.

[@afghan-news1979]

[@helenajennings4912]
