By Walt Hickey Propaganda The Pentagon made a deal with The Leonie Group for a $120 million contract to produce television, radio and billboard advertisements in Afghanistan from 2008 to 2015 to promote the United States. A whistleblower complaint from the company’s former president led into a suit alleging that this was not actually done, and that its work was never verified as actually being seen by the people of Afghanistan. Once the company started monitoring the program in 2014, less than 75 percent of its television ads and less than 45 percent of its radio ads actually aired. The former president of the company alleged he was fired after refusing to submit an invoice that he claimed double billed the government, hence this all spilling out into the open. I’m going to wait until this is settled to cast judgement here, but I tell you what, a whole lot of stuff about the complicated perception of Americans in Afghanistan is starting to make sense now.
