George Orwell warned people not to succumb to propaganda, saying 'The essential job is to get people to recognise war propaganda when they see it'.   So this page includes clues on what to look out for.  Essentially, there are five things as you will see below.


Five common propagandistic techniques to look out for

  1. Beware of politicians in dark suits, heavy-rimmed glasses and rhetoric ('National Security is the most important issue of our time'). 
  2. Don't be fooled into imagining that war and sacrifice are glorious or necessary since Gandhi described them as the actions of weak people.
  3. ​When you are told that war is for your protection, realise that war always benefits the elite and not the people   
  4. Beware of so-called 'false flag' events that present disastrous events as the work of the enemy rather than the domestic government that may be behind them.  Many wars have been fought on the false premises of a false flag and since the education system does not reveal how common these are, we have included more information on this all-too-common phenomenon in the 'More videos and articles' section
  5. Be aware that politicians may present themselves as your representatives but may be working behind the scenes for other groups

War always benefits the elite and not the people
​​​Realise that the new Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, is a member of the Trilateral Commission, a pan US-Western group founded by David Rockefeller (he who founded Big Pharma) to support the appointment of political leaders who would back the  interests of the global ruling elites.  The membership of a senior British politician would ensure that American interests influence decision-making, including decisions concerning war in Europe. For example, a decision to go to war could,in theory, force a delay in the autumn US Presidential election, thereby prolonging the term of office of the current incumbent.

According to Andrew Bridgen, former independent MP, ​Starmer has announced Labour's  intention to go into a defence pact with the EU, with Bridgen suggesting that there is only, namely the European Defence and Security Union. He adds that this would give the EU full control of Britain's army, navy, airforce, M15, M16, GCHQ and Britain's defence force. He also quotes the fact that (as of May 2024 when he made this point) the EU was selling war bonds for war against Russia.


A survey by Dr Niall McCrae in 2024 revealed that elected MPs from across the political divide, including those from the Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat and  Scottish National (SNP) parties support pouring billions of pounds of military supplies, along with direct and indirect involvement, into the war in Ukraine.   The responses of those surveyed are shown in the table below:

 Would commit British resources to a war in Ukraine Would not commit British resources to a war in Ukraine
 Conservative

Rishi Sunak (party leader), Damian Collins, Edward Timpson, Sir John Redwood,   Andrew Stephenson, Huw Merriman, Sir John Whittingdale, Mark Eastwood, Bill Wiggin, Mark Pawsey, Priti Patel

 Labour

Stephen Kinnock, Sir George Haworth, Mick Whitley, Rachael Maskell

The close family of recent Prime Ministers - David Cameron, Gordon Brown and Theresa May - did not fight in World War 2.
The fathers of Gordon Brown and Theresa May engaged in  training for a protected occupation, the clergy,  thereby exempting them from active service whilst the father of David Cameron was not of an age to be conscripted and had a disability.   
Jeremy Corbyn's father was not on active duty since he opted for an engineering apprenticeship, another protected occupation.  So, the pain and reality of death on the part of close family members is not part of their family history.

Is it right that political leaders from families with no history and experience of personal sacrifice for Britain, should make decisions that involve others going to war and potentially losing their life or being maimed?   Experience fashions people's views and this is something to consider.
