This article was very interesting to me because I had never seen these websites before. I find it very interesting that antiwar media is being suppressed so efficiently. It makes sense that media against war would not be promoted as well as other types. To think that the government has a vice grip on the information being publicized and promoted in our country, in particular, makes the thought of suppressing information that goes against an agenda seem much more understandable. The process of war always has a purpose behind it. Whether that purpose is justice, freedom, money, or tyranny there is always a purpose. However the government is honestly just a business and sometimes war and conflict are good for business, regardless of the aftermath. Governments are just huge war machines, they are only used to help people when we have good people in political offices. It only benefits people who are benefiting from nepotism when there are unworthy people in office.
This picture is a great example of how anti-war propaganda works. When people want to protest conflict it is very normal for them to shed light on the type of people who make a profit off of these conflicts. They are able to show how drastically different the situations are for different demographics.
This link has many great examples of other anti-war propaganda posters through out the years.
