10-06-2010 18:44

This week news about the U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization armed conflict in Afghanistan, the most large-scale and the longest-running war in the world, has begun to penetrate the wall of public relations and complacency erected by Washington during the past year’s unparalleled military escalation in the South Asian nation.

Headshot - Propaganda, State Religion and the Attack on the Gaza Peace Flotilla - Part 1

09-06-2010 12:19

The most potent propaganda relies on language loaded with hidden implications. In a recent speech, journalist Robert Fisk noted:

“When we westerners find that ‘our’ enemies - al-Qaeda, for example, or the Taliban - have set off more bombs and staged more attacks than usual, we call it ‘a spike in violence’. Ah yes, a ‘spike’!

“A ‘spike’ in violence, ladies and gentlemen is a word first used, according to my files, by a brigadier general in the Baghdad Green Zone in 2004. Yet now we use that phrase, we extemporise on it, we relay it on the air as our phrase.”

IDF errorists

06-06-2010 21:47

If you thinking I'm missing my T, you'd be wrong although I did splutter coffee all over my monitor it when I learnt that Ken O'Keefe, an activist known for US Passport burning, being an Iraq War Human Shield and being behind P10K, (which didn't ever get off the ground), is number 2 on the IDF's new list of Specific Flotilla Passangers(sic) Linked to Al-Qaeda, Hamas and Other Terror Organizations.

The list appeared on the IDF website this evening, presumably as a replacement for the previous release, where the title was altered from "Attackers of the IDF soldiers found to be Al Qaeda mercenaries." to "Attackers of the IDF Soldiers Found Without Identification Papers", watering down the claim. The release provided no evidence to support the claim.

How the UN Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports on Iran are distorted in the West

05-06-2010 10:56

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has issued a report on Iran's nuclear activities that's still confidential pending review by the Security Council. Now how do you go about spreading false information without actually lying?

Media disinformation regarding Israel's murderous assault - The role of the BBC

03-06-2010 15:04

More newsspeak from the BBC, that having spent years helping to demonize (democratically elected) Hamas, is clearly worried that Israel’s actions threaten to undo all the ‘good work’ the BBC has done on behalf of it patron, Israel.

Israel's international aggression: US thumbs up to state terror and murder

03-06-2010 07:31

After days of conspicuous US absence from joining the rest of the world in unequivocally condemning Israel over its killing of civilians onboard the international convoy bringing humanitarian aid to the desperate people of Gaza, we now have the nauseating sight and sound of Washington defending the indefensible.

And, of course, the western media/propaganda machine can be counted upon to pump out plenty of misinformation fog to afford a cover of legitimacy to this charade by the White House and its criminal client regime in Tel Aviv.

How the Yes Men saved Copenhagen! Funny speech by Andy Bichlbaum, professor and professional hoaxster, who befuddled Canada and the world at Copenhagen, announcing an end to the Tar Sands. Also how they pushed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce into climate change.

Announcing Bilderberg 2010: Plutocracy with palm trees

03-06-2010 00:22

There are usually 115 participants in each annual meeting. Eighty are from Western Europe and the remainder from North America. From this mixture, one-third are from government and politics, and the remaining two-thirds from industry, finance, education and communications. The meeting was named after the hotel that the first meeting was held at in 1954. Anyone who is who tries to enter the meeting uninvited is instructed to be removed at all costs, and if resisting the individual is to be shot and killed where he stands. The purpose of this secretive annual meeting is to provide a forum where the worlds most powerful individual's can discuss and direct world events without anyone knowing what they are determining. If these elite world rulers had nothing to hide this meeting would at least be spoken about publicly.

What if Iran had carried out the Gaza carnage?

02-06-2010 22:54

What would happen if Iran, my country, had carried out such a vicious action? The country which has never attacked nor occupied any lands over the past 100 years; the country which has never killed any foreign civilian under fallacious pretexts; would it have been treated the same way as Israel?
