NATO preparing vast disinformation campaign

Member States of NATO and the GCC are preparing a coup d’état and a sectarian genocide in Syria. If you want to prevent these crimes, you should act now: circulate this article on the Internet and alert your elected officials.

In a few days, perhaps as early as Friday, June 15, at noon, the Syrians wanting to watch their national TV stations will see them replaced on their screens by TV programs created by the CIA. Studio-shot images will show massacres that are blamed on the Syrian Government, people demonstrating, ministers and generals resigning from their posts, President Al-Assad fleeing, the rebels gathering in the big city centers, and a new government installing itself in the presidential palace.

This operation of disinformation, directly managed from Washington by Ben Rhodes, the US deputy national security adviser for strategic communication, aims at demoralizing the Syrians in order to pave the way for a coup d’etat. NATO, discontent about the double veto of Russia and China, will thus succeed in conquering Syria without attacking the country illegally. Whichever judgment you might have formed on the actual events in Syria, a coup d’etat will end all hopes of democratization.

The Arab League has officially asked the satellite operators Arabsat and Nilesat to stop broadcasting Syrian media, either public or private (Syria TV, Al-Ekbariya, Ad-Dounia, Cham TV, etc.) A precedent already exists because the Arab League had managed to censure Libyan TV in order to keep the leaders of the Jamahiriya from communicating with their people. There is no Hertz network in Syria, where TV works exclusively with satellites. The cut, however, will not leave the screens black.

Actually, this public decision is only the tip of the iceberg. According to our information several international meetings were organized during the past week to coordinate the disinformation campaign. The first two were technical meetings, held in Doha (Qatar); the third was a political meeting and took place in Riyad (Saudi Arabia).

The first meeting assembled PSYOP officers, embedded in the satellite TV channels of Al-Arabiya, Al-Jazeera, BBC, CNN, Fox, France 24, Future TV and MTV. It is known that since 1998, the officers of the US Army Psychological Operations Unit (PSYOP) have been incorporated in CNN. Since then this practice has been extended by NATO to other strategic media as well.

They fabricated false information in advance, on the basis of a “story-telling” script devised by Ben Rhodes’s team at the White House. A procedure of reciprocal validation was installed, with each media quoting the lies of the other media to render them plausible for TV spectators. The participants also decided not only to requisition the TV channels of the CIA for Syria and Lebanon (Barada, Future TV, MTV, Orient News, Syria Chaab, Syria Alghad) but also about 40 religious Wahhabi TV channels to call for confessional massacres to the cry of “Christians to Beyrouth, Alawites into the grave!.”

The second meeting was held for engineers and technicians to fabricate fictitious images, mixing one part in an outdoor studio, the other part with computer generated images. During the past weeks, studios in Saudi Arabia have been set up to build replicas of the two presidential palaces in Syria and the main squares of Damascus, Aleppo and Homs. Studios of this type already exist in Doha (Qatar), but they are not sufficient.

The third meeting was held by General James B. Smith, the US ambassador, a representative of the UK, prince Bandar Bin Sultan (whom former U.S. president George Bush named his adopted son so that the U.S. press called him “Bandar Bush”). In this meeting the media actions were coordinated with those of the Free "Syrian" Army, in which prince Bandar’s mercenaries play a decisive role.

The operation had been in the making for several months, but the U.S. National Security Council decided to accelerate the action after the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, notified the White House that he would oppose by all means, even by force, any illegal NATO military intervention in Syria.

The operation has a double intent: the first is to spread false information, the second aims at censuring all possible responses.

The hampering of TV satellites for military purposes is not new. Under pressure from Israel, the USA and the EU blocked Lebanese, Palestinian, Iraqi, Libyan and Iranian TV channels, one after the other. However, no satellite channels from other parts of the world were censured.

The broadcast of false news is also not new, but four significant steps have been taken in the art of propaganda during the last decade.
• In 1994, a pop music station named “Free Radio of the Thousand Hills” (RTML) gave the signal for genocide in Rwanda with the cry, “Kill the cockroaches!”
• In 2001, NATO used the media to impose an interpretation of the 9/11 attacks and to justify its own aggression against Afghanistan and Iraq. At that time already, it was Ben Rhodes who had been commissioned by the Bush administration to concoct the Kean/Hamilton Commission report on the attacks.
• In 2002, the CIA used five TV channels (Televen, Globovision, ValeTV and CMT) to make the public in Venezuela believe that phantom demonstrators had captured the elected president, Hugo Chávez, forcing him to resign. In reality he was the victim of a military coup d’etat.
• In 2011, France 24 served as information ministry for the Libyan CNT, according to a signed contract. During the battle of Tripoli, NATO produced fake studio films, then transmitted them via Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya, showing phantom images of Libyan rebels on the central square of the capital city, while in reality they were still far away. As a consequence, the inhabitants of Tripoli were persuaded that the war was lost and gave up all resistance.

Nowadays the media do not only support a war, they produce it themselves.

This procedure violates the principles of International Law, first of all Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights relating to the fact of receiving and imparting information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” Above all, the procedure violates the United Nations General Assembly resolution, adopted after the end of World War II, to prevent further wars. Resolutions 110, 381 and 819 forbid “to set obstacles to free exchange of information and ideas” (like cutting off Syrian TV channels) and “all propaganda provoking or encouraging threats to peace, breaking peace, and all acts of aggression”. By law, war propaganda is a crime against peace, the worst of crimes, because it facilitates war crimes and genocide.

Comments

I’m waiting for the USA to give chemical weapons to its terrorists, so they can gas thousands of Syrian schoolchildren to death. The terrorists and the Western media will claim that the Syrian government did it. NATO will declare that Assad has now used “WMDs." NATO will then begin “humanitarian” bombing, until Syria is as destroyed as is Libya.

Then it will be on to Iran.

Two days ago, Hillary Clinton accused Russia of sending helicopter gunships to help Assad slaughter “peaceful demonstrators.” In reality the Syrian government has 190 helicopters, of which 20 are Russian-designed Mi-24 attack helicopters, purchased some years ago. Russians are in Syria to help maintain the helicopters, under a contract signed four years ago. Syria also has French- and Polish-made helicopters that have combat capabilities.

Moreover Syria bought its helicopters from Rosoboronexport, a Russian government-run arms manufacturer. The USA buys Mi-17 helicopters from the same Russian company, and gives them to Afghan security forces to sustain the opium / heroin industry, and to eliminate anyone who tries to grow opium without US permission. 

The good news is that no matter how many media lies are exposed, the masses always believe the latest lies. No matter how absurd the lies are (9-11, the Kuwait incubator babies, Viagra to Qaddafi’s troops, etc) the masses love this crap, because the masses live in a fairy tale. It’s how the masses cope with the misery of their lives. They regard America’s murderers as saintly, and its victims as Satanic.

As for the imperialist-elitist, he can never stop, since he regards himself as eternally at war with “the mob.” When he murders and pillages on a planetary scale, he commits no crime.  On the contrary, he prevents crimes against him. In his sociopathic mind, he slaughters ordinary people to prevent the “mob” from attacking him. And since he regards power as a zero sum game, he cannot allow any sharing, compromise, or mercy. Either he rules, or the “mob” rules. So he thinks.

The elitist regards average people as evil rats that will eat him alive the moment he ceases stomping them. Hence he must continually rob and murder forever, not stopping for even an instant, lest the rats swarm him. That’s how he sees the world. The more power he attains, the larger the “mob” of rats that he rules over. Hence the deeper his fear. Hence the worse is his brutality, and the greater his hunger for more and more power. His only fear (and it is a constant fear) is that someday his savage rule might end.

The rich and the poor understand all this. The middle class  regards it as an “exaggeration.” Thus, even the most educated remain stupid.

For elitists, anything that benefits the masses is a “threat” to elitist privilege, and must therefore be destroyed. Environmental protection, socialized health care, the labeling of genetically modified foods – all these are “threats,” because they benefit the masses.

Anything that benefits the masses is condemned as “socialism,” or “terrorism.” Anything the increases elitist tyranny is praised as “democracy,” and the “free market.”

Socialism for the rich is good (privatizing profits, and nationalizing losses). Socialism for the masses is evil.

The masses uphold this crap by adopting elitist terms and rhetoric. We see this in reader comments, when a moron denounces something as "socialism," or some idiot speaks of a Western "intervention" in Syria or Iran.

The lower class is ruled by fear and deprivation. The middle class (if it exists) is ruled by word twisting, as when the media condemns anything that benefits the masses as “big government.”

When government benefits the masses, it is "evil." It is "big government." When government benefits elitists at the expense of the masses, it is good. Whatever increases elitist tyranny is "democracy." Vote rigging and the police state is "democracy."

Since it is the middle class that pushes hardest for “threats” such as GMO food labels, the elitists must destroy the middle class economically, while upholding it rhetorically. That is, elitists must impoverish the middle class, plunging them into the lower class, while telling the newly poor that the middle class still exists, and they are still part of it. This makes the new peasants continue to deny that there is a class war, and continue to obey the upper class, fearing that if they do not obey, then they will fall to the lower class tomorrow, when in fact they fell into it yesterday.

What to do?

Protect yourself as best you can. Consider, for example, genetically modified foods. We can’t stop this, but we can avoid ALL processed foods, including breakfast cereal and lunch meats. Avoid all dairy, since dairy too is part of the GM nightmare. Become a vegetarian as far as possible. Do not eat anything that has high fructose corn syrup (e.g. soda). And so on.  We cannot avoid Frankenfoods altogether, but we can personally reduce our exposure to them.   

This is how we must think about all these topics. Protect yourself.
