Now that’s Antiwar Radio

Scott Horton, August 26, 2008

Listen to the great Lew Rockwell, president of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, interview John V. Denson, author of A Century of War: Lincoln, Wilson and Roosevelt, about the sort of World War revisionism that I would hope you’d have a chance to hear.

MP3 here. (10:00)

    Of course, in 1936 when Churchill made his statement blaming the rise of “isms” on the US entry into WW I, England and Churchill perceived their greatest enemy to be Communism and the Soviet Union. At the time, they rather liked the charismatic new leader of Germany. After all, Mein Kampff made it clear Germany’s leibensraum was in the East, and Nazism was a fanatical foe of Communism. Wealthy German elites were quite at ease with the new government, and Germany was helping Franco put down the Republican threat to the Spanish elites.

    With the possible exception of the Korean War (I admit ignorance as to the pretext for this unconstitutional and unnecessary conflict), I can’t think of a single major military action America has engaged in since the Civil War that did not involve government lying, deception, exaggeration and propaganda.

    Fort Sumpter, the Lusitania, the Maine, Gulf of Tonkin, babies thrown out of incubators, and WMDs have all suckered the American people into one criminally stupid intervention after another. Since those who are lying and deceiving are also responsible for “educating” us about history, I suppose the widespread ignorance is somewhat understandable.
