Call of Duty is a Government Psyop: These Documents Prove It

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II has been available for less than three weeks, but it is already making waves. Breaking records, within ten days, the first-person military shooter video game earned more than $1 billion in revenue. Yet it has also been shrouded in controversy, not least because missions include assassinating an Iranian general clearly based on Qassem Soleimani, a statesman and military leader slain by the Trump administration in 2020, and a level where players must shoot “drug traffickers” attempting to cross the U.S./Mexico border.

How the US Military Rewrote War of the Worlds

Steven Spielberg’s 2005 alien invasion adventure War of the Worlds helped kick off the recent string of military-supported extraterrestrial war films. While the core story of one man trying to make his way through a chaotic world while keeping his family alive has nothing to do with the US Army, Air Force or the Marine Corps, all three military branches provided hardware in support of the battle sequences, and had some choice words to say about the script.

As a former U.S. Marine Corps intelligence officer, Scott Ritter knows his government’s wars like no other, and as the United Nations weapons inspector for the UNSCOM mission in Iraq, he also knows the lies Washington spread in the run-up to the 2003 Iraq invasion.

In the Gegenpol interview, Ritter talks about the war in Ukraine, the new Russian strategy and the dubious role of the Greens with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock in the governing coalition.
