#CALL OF DUTY HELMET MOVIE#

This needs more attention.В The sane, healthy response to learning that oneвЂ™s government and its allies were arming and training terrorist groups in Syria would have been screaming, earth-shaking rage for months, accompanied by a demand for an unequivocal apology, immediate repair of all damage done, and war crimes tribunals for everyone who was involved.

ItвЂ™s this whole closed-off world that is manipulating minds with very little scrutiny compared to other forms of media, which is troubling, because the video game industry is so vast that for many years its earnings have eclipsed those of the movie and music industries combined. Propaganda in video games doesnвЂ™t get the kind of pushback you see against propaganda in news media and movies, largely because the content in the games is generally only viewed individually by those who are engrossed in playing them. They are desensitized to mass military violence, trained to support and identify with US military campaigns, and taught that being a member of the military might just be a fun and noble way to spend oneвЂ™s future. People playing these games, mostly impressionable young men, are manipulated into desiring to accomplish the goals that are laid out for them in order to win, all of which involve killing and many of which happen to align with preexisting US military agendas. Citing public information, Blumenthal documents how such games have been вЂњdeveloped with substantial input from AmericaвЂ™s military intelligence apparatusвЂќ, as well as the CoD designerвЂ™s involvement with the Pentagon and the NATO narrative management firm the Atlantic Council. As noted by journalist Max Blumenthal in April, an earlier CoD game depicted the assassination of the leader of Venezuela and, bizarrely, attacking VenezuelaвЂ™s hydroelectric dam and energy grid with the goal of causing power outages like the ones the nation has been struggling with. The pro-White Helmets propaganda is not Call of DutyвЂs first foray into US military narrative management. And indeed, the extremist jihadist factions which overran Syria with the backing of the US and its allies nearly succeeded in toppling Assad prior to RussiaвЂ™s intervention, and we may be certain that the agenda to control who rules over the geostrategically crucial region remains as intact as ever. Have a purportedly neutral group filming on the ground in вЂњrebelвЂќ-held areas (where the White Helmets exclusively operate), and you can ensure an endless supply of footage which can be used to paint a longtime western target for regime change as a barbarian who needs to be ousted. This excellent half-hour mini-documentary by James Corbett clearly outlines the way the operation is used to create footage implicating the Assad government in the slaughter of civilians via chemical weapons attacks and other camera-friendly war crimes, the mountain of evidence of their ties to literal terrorist organizations in Syria, and the western funding and media manipulations that have been pouring into elevating the outfit. The White Helmets are what legendary journalist John Pilger describes as вЂњ a complete propaganda constructвЂњ, an operation designed by former British army officer and private military contractor JamesВ Le Mesurier to manipulate the narrative about whatвЂ™s going on in Syria. вЂњKurosaki says he wants вЂCall of DutyвЂ™ to be spoken of as on par with the best war films, and he hopes вЂModern WarfareвЂ™ will inspire fans to check out the harrowing and eye-opening documentaries вЂThe White HelmetsвЂ™В or вЂLast Man in Aleppo,вЂќ the LA Times reports. How do I know? Its game writer has explicitly said so. To be clear, the characters in the game are most certainly intended to resemble the White Helmets of Syria, and their presence there is most certainly intended to increase support for and interest in that group. To give you an idea how popular the CoD franchise is, as of this writing the official Youtube version of the trailer has 27 million views. Characters wearing the organizationвЂ™s signature headgear are seen clearing rubble in part of the trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The official trailer for the latest Call of Duty was released a few days ago, and it features the Syria narrative management operation known as the White Helmets depicted in heroic roles.
