Insinuation as War Propaganda
By Anthony Gregory
February 25, 2012 "Independent Institute"
  «In 2002 and early 2003, the Bush administration made its case for war with Iraq. There were assertions given about Saddam’s maintenance of weapons of mass destruction and ties to al-Qaeda. What was never said explicitly, however, was that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11. Yet by late 2003, seventy percent of polled Americans thought Saddam Hussein was personally behind 9/11. Bush’s Republican voters were especially convinced of this.
...
Fast forward a decade to the current day. Seventy-one percent of Americans - almost exactly the percentage that thought Saddam was behind 9/11 - think that Iran has nuclear weapons. It’s a small sample, but it is consistent with polls over the last couple years, each one showing a majority believing Iran already has nukes, and almost nine out of ten Americans sure that Iran is seeking them.» 
[ICH/blog.independent.org]

Comment 1: One assumes the 90% 'is seeking' includes the 75% 'already has' But semantic quibbles apart, it illustrates one of my maxims: Believing is mostly done in the absence of evidence.

Comment 2: They (the irresponsible politicians) may not have directly mentioned an al-Qaeda/Saddam connection, but they contributed to the panic being generated with all sorts of lies (like mushroom-clouds, mobile bio-labs & people-shredders), and there were plenty of patsies in the (corrupt & venal) MSM (including publicly-financed broadcasters) who did such mentioning = lying propagandising.

Try this google: west fear iran nuclear weapon "Anne Barker" site:abc.net.au

Result at time if writing: About 215 results (see screen-image below.)

Comment: All the reporting I read/see/hear (can't be everywhere), including several publicly-financed broadcasters, are sending basically the same material (sourced from AFP, Reuters, wherever) = singing from the same song-sheet. Problem is, it all contains the same lies[1] - why?

A: Because the MSM (including publicly-financed broadcasters) are *all* corrupt&venal = criminal.

Fazit 1: Deception destroys democracy - but not only.

BTW: The US president, pentagon & CIA have all recently done a volte-face on Iran's nuclear program, now all saying Iran does not intend to, let alone is building, an A-bomb. Point of interest is: "Will Anne Barker now shut up about it?" Even more pointed is will Israel stop their lies about it? Another BTW, Anne Barker lives in Israel. Surprise! World's biggest source of the darkest & bloodiest lies, liars & land-thieves.

Musing: Lying is the 'entry-point' to crime, defined here as harming others = cheating, stealing and murder. Criminals must lie - otherwise they'd convict themselves. For truth&justice seekers (as 'normal' people), harming others is self-evidently wrong - yet the world is dominated by harm; cheating = neoliberalism + banksters, stealing and murder = war for spoil, what primarily US+Zs do (Zs stealing Palestinian soil, US stealing (control over + economic rent) any- and every-one's oil+).

Once bitten, twice shy - seems inoperative, why?

After 9/11 (accept 'inside job' or prove otherwise = explain free-fall demolitions = impossible, ask Sherlock Holmes), we got illegal invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq, free-fire for drones in Pakistan and lately the ghastly rape of Libya by US, F+UK/NATO, Syria under US-supported infiltration/attack & "all options" continuously and still threatened for Iran.

Aside: What's about the headline Pleb? By definition, IQ-scores form an 'ideal distribution' with the 50% mark in the middle = 50% are smarter, 50% less smart. But everyone votes, so the lower scorers, here my plebs, could very well do with a bit of assistance. But they are not well-encouraged to do well at school (they are required as industrial- if not cannon-fodder = not to be too clever), but far worse (for both them and all of us), the entire electorate is immersed in lying propaganda (see Anne Barker's A-bombs above.) In a nutshell, the plebs are kicked whilst down = a very un-Aussie thing to do, despicable even! Puts our democracy at threat, if not outright demolishes it. Listening, Ms Barker?

An important Q: Why do the people not wake up to both their own mistreatment and our so-called leaders' murdering wars?

A: Because a) they're not too smart? (But see preceding on IQ, looping), b) they're too lazy (or at least busy with other things), but in any case c) they're continuously propagandised by, among others, Anne Barker from 'our' AusBC - retailing *and actively assisting* filthy lies.

A *VERY BIG* Q: Why does most of the world leadership not condemn in the strongest terms, this Nuremberg/4th Reich/illegal/immoral slaughter-to-steal?

IMHO, the only possible A: They (non-condemning world so-called 'leaders') are all (criminal) psychopaths.

Fazit 2: These psychopaths must be stopped before they completely ruin our future.

UN rights chief accuses Syria of 'indiscriminate attack'
Updated February 14, 2012 21:07:34
  «Navi Pillay, the UN's high commissioner for human rights, said the failure to pass a Security Council resolution condemning the Syrian government "appears to have emboldened the Syrian government to launch an all-out assault in an effort to crush dissent with overwhelming force".» 
[AusBC/'news']

Comment: In the absence of *substantiated* evidence, I suggest Pillay is a lying warmonger - just where we need scrupulous honesty and accuracy. The UN is worse than a failure, it's a factor actively contributing to failure.

-=*=-

Q1: Where are the decent & honest leaders?

Q2: Where are the decent & honest Syrian bloggers?

We keep being shown jerky, blurry videos, said to be 'off the internet,' so jerky & blurry that you can't really see what you're looking at - which is alleged crimes by the Syrian regime against its own people.

THAT means that content may be able to be sourced from within Syria - or does it?

Heard a similar report broadcast over another publicly-financed station alleging govt. troops - and yes, snipers - opening fire unannounced on innocent civilians, not even protesting, reflecting some of the same content in the above article.

It 'beggars belief' (recalling 'belief' is done in the *absence* of evidence.)

Indeed, such reports often include: "this report could not be confirmed."

No half-sane govt. would do this, yet it was alleged against Libya, now the 'same-old' against Syria. Always some 'shocker' like killing children, or 'premature babies' even - guaranteed to cause revulsion & anger = emotions = irrational responses. Scientifically designed by professional agitators = psychological propagandists = liars.

Whatever else these alleged 'dictators' may be, they *are* at least half-sane, time and actual results prove it: see how Libya *had* one of the highest HDIs in Africa. The people were, if not totally free, at least comparatively more than half-way to heaven (socialised medicine, education & house-subsidies; "Great Man-Made River," Gaddafi described it as the "Eighth Wonder of the World." He was not just more than half-sane, he was far more than half correct.)

In other words, the demonisation of Syria is deliberate and not even varied from the standard pattern, because all the corrupt & venal MSM transmit *and actively augment* the psychopathic criminals' lying propaganda.

Q3: Where is the pro-Syrian regime content?

A1: The pro-Syrian rebel content is fake, &/

A2: The pro-Syrian regime content is censored.

-=*=-

Fazit: The almost total lack of pro-Syrian regime content, especially amateur (like the rebels'), is the *proof* we're being lied to, by psychopathic criminals preparing to plunder yet another ME nation, yet another whose govt. dares to resist US globalised capital. If the criminal Wall St. banksters can't get in, the Pentagon murderers eventually will (see "Economic Hit Man"). More death, destruction & vicious rip-offs, in the name of enabling the mainly US fat-cat rich to make themselves ever more obscenely richer - by murdering theft, just like the Zs 63+yrs long in Palestine and no just end anywhere in sight.

See it all happening most evenings, usually and oh, so conveniently, on the publicly-financed 'news' on your very own TV.

UN chief renews attack on Assad, amid amnesty
Updated January 16, 2012 00:42:23
  «"Today, I say again to president Assad of Syria: Stop the violence. Stop killing your people. The path of repression is a dead end," Mr Ban said in a keynote address at a conference in Beirut on democracy in the Arab world.» 
[AusBC/'news']

Comment 1: Ban's "Stop killing your people" is based on allegations which almost every report, also from those 'stenographed' by 'our' AusBC, includes text such as: "reports [by self-interested 3rd parties?] cannot be confirmed."

Comment 2: Ban's imperative dovetails into and follows the same pattern as was recently deployed vis-à-vis the rape of Libya, another 'innocent' target 'obliterated' in the same way as Iraq was, namely many innocents killed and their infrastructure destroyed by US &/ NATO in the name of 'regime-change.' As if even the pushed-propaganda paradigm dumbed-down (ppp-dd'd) sheople don't notice?

-=*=-

From a recent article of mine:
  «The Zs' infamy may be considered to begin with Herzl (1897), then via Balfour, Jabotinsky, the alien invading terrorists = Irgun, Lehi, Stern Gang, Haganah et al., leading to the Nakba ('47/8, genocidal ethnic cleansing of Palestine) and the regular if random continuation of more of the same terrorism right down to the current moment; amongst latest outrages Gaza '08/9 (~1400 mainly civilians slaughtered), high-seas murdering piracy against the peace-fleet = Israel flotilla raid '10, live-ammunition/sniper attacks on non-violent protesters in Golan Heights, '11.
The US' infamy is longer, try starting with a list of interventions for “regime change” here, which notes 1st such in 1893 against Hawaii.
Long-story short: The list of US+Zs' depredations is as long as it is filthy.» 

Comment 1: The US started its criminality long before the UN, even before the League of Nations. Both of these latter 'international organisations' were predicated on 'no more war,' both have failed. Worse, the UN assists criminality; starting no later than its cynical approval of UNGA181; the UN has utterly failed to restrain the murdering-to-steal Zionists rampant in the ME (dispossessing the hapless natives of their land/property), let alone the US rampant ditto (dispossessing other hapless natives of their oil &/ sovereign resources), across the wider world (approaching 1000 military bases, no-one is safe.)

Comment 2: The UN did not 'approve' the invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, the UN (via Kofi Annan) belatedly declared the invasion of Iraq in 2003 as illegal, and the UN actually 'green-lighted' the 'no-fly invasion' = rape of Libya in 2011. (Shame!) Now Syria is on the line, possibly next Iran. The US is not the world's policeman, that job is assigned to the UN - failing = corrupt. 'Bottom line' is that the UN is ineffective; the UN/Ban Ki-moon has earned no right to lecture anybody. Sooo, Ban, STFU!

Fazit: IF some agent supports/argues for an erring ideology AND that erring ideology is engaged in some crime (worst = murder for spoil; Zs for soil & US for oil) THEN that agent is a prime perpetrator, accessory or apologist, depending on degree of involvement in the crime, and that agent makes her/himself equally guilty.

Corollary: IF some agent's task is to prevent some evil AND that evil is not prevented (let alone is tolerated, worse assisted or absolute worst encouraged) THEN that agent makes her/himself equally guilty - how do you plead, UN/Ban Ki-moon?

Arab body calls for monitors to leave Syria
Updated January 02, 2012 00:18:46
  «In an online video a man who appeared to be a monitor in the southern town of Deraa said he saw snipers in the town.
"We saw snipers in the town, we saw them with our own eyes," the observer said in Arabic, visibly concerned.
"We're going to ask the government to remove them immediately. We'll be in touch with the Arab League back in Cairo."» 
[AusBC/anon]

Comment 1: We have no way of knowing whether these jerky, out of focus videos, conveying little more than confusion, are genuine - or 'made in Hollywood' as lying propaganda. Rogue-regimes which mass-murder for spoil (= kill to steal, see Iraq etc., multi-mios dead) will hardly quibble about lying, in fact lies are a *requirement* of all crime. (Proof: No lies = truth, which would self-convict the crims.)

Comment 2: The 'business' of snipers is to shoot from cover - by definition [fire shots from hiding, usu. at long range [POD]]. It means that seeing a sniper in action would be *highly* unlikely, all the more so since these Arab League imposed interlopers are accused/assumed to be accompanied by 'helpful' government guides - the group being thusly as about as inconspicuous as dog's balls. Not only that, IF govt snipers were active THEN they'd be fully informed of the interlopers' progress, as a simple matter of 'standard operations.'

More from the same article:

  «But Mr Dabi later told the BBC: "This man said that if he sees, by his eyes, those snipers, he will report them immediately and he will tell the government. But he didn't see."
He also infuriated some observers by suggesting he was reassured by first impressions of Homs, one of the main centres of unrest.» 
[AusBC/ibid.]

Comment 1: This Mr Dabi is head of the Arab League observer mission.

Comment 2: The same Mr Dabi has already been attacked elsewhere:

Human Rights | 30.12.2011
Grave doubts hang over head of observer mission to Syria
  «Human rights activists have criticized the choice of Sudanese General al-Dabi as head of the observer mission to Syria. Al-Dabi served under Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir and is linked to war crimes in Darfur.» 
[dw-world/'news']

Comment 1: Deutsche Welle is like 'our' AusBC, tax-payer funded. Human rights activists lost their credibility latest in Libya, and allegations passed-on soon become 'factoids' = possibly still the original lies just 'massaged' by 'Chinese whispers.' Boo! The tax-payer funded broadcasters need to present us with *proof* (or else.)

Comment 2: Another thing such 'stories' contain are things like this: "International journalists are mostly barred from Syria, making it difficult to confirm accounts from conflict zones." So, Q: Where do all these reports originate? A: At least 3rd hand, via self-interested parties, so-called NGOs amongst them, then see previous comment and comments on lying further above.

Comment 3: The voters in a democracy need accurate information; how else are we the people to make informed choices - at the ballot-box, say? It is one of the functions of tax-payer funded 'news' organisations to so inform us. IF such broadcasters lie, THEN they are a) violating their remit and b) if by doing so, they assist criminals, then they make themselves criminals, by the accessory mechanism.

-=*=-

Fazit: US/NATO smashed Libya in 2011 based on precisely the same sort of lies as are now being spread through the corrupt & venal MSM, including and actively assisted by tax-payer funded 'news' organisations like 'our' AusBC and Deutsche Welle. Where are the reasonable people, truth & justice seekers like me but with the power to stop the criminals = anti-democratic tyrants, like B, B & H then and now Obama, Netanyahu, Cameron, Sarkozy & Gillard et al.?

-=*=-

PS Q: What's about dogs not barking? A: Perhaps there's actually nothing much for independent observers to see in Syria? After all, the Arab League is now long 'in bed' with US/NATO; why would such a sensitive observer position go to anyone not trusted to 'do the business' on Assad?

PPS As previously elsewhere mentioned, psychological propaganda may include 'trigger words' aimed at causing revulsion in the intended audience; such a trigger-word is 'snipers.' Other words are 'so-many killed, including children.' A new twist is adding +ve words; we now learn that the 'rebels,' 'militants,' 'activists' etc. from two competing anti-Assad factions have agreed to agree, and will now work for a 'democratic' outcome. Oh, how jolly - that would make them goodies, eh? But only if you believe the rubbish the likes of the AusBC are serving us up, recalling that belief is what many do in the absence of evidence.

-=*=-

Preamble: One *could* think, that the ME correspondent for 'our' AusBC might be just in 'the wrong place and/or time.' Wrong. For about the 1st half of my life, the AusBC was pretty-well my exclusive 'news' source. Around the time of the '67 aggressive Zionist war on the immediate Arab world, I was deliberately misinformed by same AusBC. Proof: I was prepared to argue *against* the hapless Palestinians' cause = attempting to reverse the violent dispossession of almost an entire nation by invading aliens. It wasn't 'brave David' facing down the 'ugly Arab/Muslim hordes' but fully reversed; the Zionists attacked first - as they did after UNGA181, see Plan Dalet (Deir Yassin massacre, etc.), and have been so doing, right down to the current moment (illegal settlements, internationally so designated) - in order to steal ever-more of Palestinians' land/property. The fact that the AusBC *dares* misinform U,WTP = us, we the people convicts the AusBC as accessory to murder for spoil, there/then to here/now Palestinian soil. Ditto for murder for Afghanistan pipeline routes, Iraqi & Libyan oil, current subversion of Syria then Iran as next target - all to 'enable' US/Z murdering theft.

Monitors hear pleas for intervention in Syria
By Middle East correspondent Anne Barker and wires
Updated December 28, 2011 11:02:50
  «"The regime used the last several days as an opportunity to escalate their attacks on several ... neighbourhoods in Homs and other cities prior to the deployment of these monitors," State Department deputy spokesman Mark Toner said.» 
[AusBC 'news'/111228, 11:02:50]

Comment 1: Associated video showed the monitors being harassed by 'activists.' One news broadcaster looked dreadfully crestfallen that no 'smoking guns' had been found; see another headline "Observers say 'nothing frightening' in Homs." Note: AusBC is now in the 'business' of revising history; what they publish may be replaced by a 2nd or 3rd ... 'bite,' so originally published content may be 'lost' to the world.

Comment 2: The cited text shows just who's 'pulling the strings' here. Other reports say 'no independent observers can confirm ...' - IMHO, *totally* giving the game away. One should not go to war on (lying) propaganda-rumours - ooops! - they already did, in this past year, in (hapless, oil-rich & previously high HDI) Libya.

[AusBC 'news'/111229, 11:52:36]

Comment 1: "... their continued non-compliance with their international nuclear obligations" is an outright lie. If the US had any such real evidence, they would have obliterated most of Iran a very small few micro-secs after trumpeting same to the world.

Comment 2: According to the considered, collective verdict of all US 'intel'-agencies, Iran had abandoned any attempt at building a bomb, latest 2003. Yet almost every 'report' from Barker includes the above *unsupported* allegation in some form or other. Filthy propagansiste!

Comment 3: It may well be, that Iran could legally close Hormuz, see here for confirmation. Hmmm. The oil 'price' (not value) may sky-rocket - this time independently of speculators; see here for some discussion (like ~60% of oil price could be due to speculation by hedge funds, banks etc.).

He said people were going down into the streets in Hama to await the delegation. Security was heavy and marksmen were seen on rooftops.» 
[AusBC 'news'/111229, 23:24:27]

Comment 1: This one's a real bewdie; one needs to read it all (with an appropriately jaundiced eye) to appreciate all the lying allegations. This s**t is called 'news?'

Comment 2: "... marksmen were seen on rooftops" was a propaganda technique also deployed before the NATO rape of Libya; it is effective because the (lying) allegation causes fear and revulsion - in the target *audience* = us, we the people = 'manufacturing consent' = we just shuddup & resign ourselves to yet another round of mass-murdering for spoil.

Comment 3: In general, any 'activist' opposing the US/Zs is called a 'terrorist' and may be summarily executed by drone, say = extra-judicial killing = murdered without due process, or any other process except the US/Zs' arbitrary say-so. On the other hand, all 'activists' opposing a US/Z-declared enemy are embraced by the AusBC & other criminally lying sycophants; we are to hang off their every (lying) word. Self interest, anybody? See what happened in Libya; one of the 1st changes was to establish a new (rogue) central bank, ??? Good system! Great for truth & justice!

-=*=-

Fazit: Our so-called 'leaders' are corrupt = criminal psychopaths and/or totally insane; spruiking lies as they send 'our boys' off to foreign = invasive wars grounded in lies. The taxpayer-supported AusBC is corrupt & venal, just like the commercial MSM - they not only transmit but actively extend the leaders' lies. In a so-called 'democracy,' the leaders are supposed to represent U,WTP = us, we the people, and implement the will of the majority whilst safeguarding all minorities. Concentrating the world's wealth into the hands of a fraction of 1% - by a crooked economics system = neoliberalism, including military intervention = mass-murdering for spoil is *not* in our interest: Tumbrels, for murder/theft-ordering leaders & pro-war liars both. And do not forget for the smallest part of a pico-sec that they are also driving us deep into unsustainability vis-à-vis resource depletion and deadly pollution (excess CO2 = climate-crash) both.

Syrian forces 'ordered to shoot to kill'
By Middle East correspondent Anne Barker and wires
Updated December 16, 2011 10:02:35
  «A report by Human Rights Watch (HRW) says Syrian soldiers were given orders to "shoot to kill" in the crackdown against anti-government protesters.» 
[AusBC/Barker]

Comment 1: Notice how it's done; HRW "is an international non-governmental organization that conducts research and advocacy on human rights. Its headquarters are in New York City and" ... it is 'privately' financed and has neither official standing nor accountability. They, as anyone, are free to tell us lies, and producing 'activists' or 'lists of names' could all be totally fictitious.

Comment 2: To be effective, pro-war propaganda has to push some lie, and a good way of doing that is to shock the audience - as here, as earlier in Libya, by mentioning snipers. Any regime fearing US/NATO/Z attack would be mad to provoke such, so it is unreasonable to think that snipers would be deployed by a government against their own people. Whatever these alleged tyrants, be they US- or Z-claimed enemies are, they are not idiots, so all such sniper-talk must be considered outright lies ahead of any other explanation.

-=*=-

One has to consider demonstrated form, modus operandi and cui bono?

The world's #1 & #2 monster rogue-regimes are the US & Zs; instead of peace being allowed to break out after WW2 we got the twin A-bomb war crimes by the US against Japan (justified as 'saving US lives' = since proved to be total bullshit), then the incredible injustice of the aggressive, murdering invasion of Palestine by alien Zionists. Basically, the violence against civilian populations in resource-owning countries coveted by the US & Zs has not stopped since then. Latest victims are Afghanistan, Iraq & Libya, the aggression against Syria is being 'ramped up' and has been continuous against Iran since 1979, when Iranians broke free - by popular, largely violence-free revolution - from the US-puppet installed after the UK&US deposed the democratic Mossadegh (How the United States Destroyed Democracy in Iran in 1953.)

The criminal viciousness of the US & Zs is not often mentioned, let alone ever fully discussed in the corrupt & venal MSM, and the fact that I personally was wickedly ill-informed by the AusBC re: Israel is my proof of the AusBC's participation in the 'conspiracy of lies and silence' waged against us, we the people.

You can see AusBC propaganda in full-flight in almost any report on Iran by-lined by Barker (time of writing: 'About 354 results'), for example hardly an article goes by without her (by her own hand, or by 'stenographing' the reports of others, as with the above HRW's) - without the appearance of some arrangement of 'Iran is suspected of building an A-Bomb,' (try "The international community must stop, before it is too late, Iran's race for nuclear weapons which endanger the whole world"), when no one, including all US intel, can provide a single shred of credible evidence that it may be so.

Consider this AusBC report:

Comment: Specifically, this bit: "tens of thousands of Iraqis" dead.

A *credible* report by the Lancet published on 11 October 2006, methodology approved by the UK military, estimated 654,965 excess deaths - a vast difference from '10s of 1000s,' and other, more current estimates are well over 1.4mio dead, with 2mio+ internally displaced and another 2mio+ fled the country.

As for "sectarian fighting," no one knows how many of the terrorist bombings are 'black-flag' covert ops (CIA, Mossad, MI6) - recall the two Poms caught in Basra with their car full of bomb-making materials (caught red-handed with all the tools necessary to launch "suicide bombs" against the people); when they were incarcerated by Iraqis, the UK sent tanks in to bust them out of gaol.

Democracies simply cannot function properly with a deceived electorate - not to mention the deaths inflicted by the monster rogue-regimes in their filthy murdering for spoil (soil, oil.)

The world is facing an excess-CO2 caused climate-change catastrophe, but inaction prevails, partly caused all eyes keep being dragged back to the ME, all because of the deliberately inflicted presence of the criminal Zionist murdering for soil = land/property-thieves, and the US coveting of oil = ditto murdering-thieves.

It's wrong and it must be stopped; a good place to start is to stop AusBC/Barker telling us lies.
