America's Disinformation Campaign - Unrelentless (none / 0)

Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say | Politico - Oct. 19, 2020 |
The disinformation campaign against this reporting was led by the CIA's all-but-official spokesperson Natasha Bertrand (then of Politico, now with CNN), whose article on October 19 appeared under this headline: "Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say."

Natasha Bertrand, Another 'Unaligned' Reporter
The American troll factory for one-track mind in anti-Russia propaganda has got a new advocate: Natasha Bertrand. An useful stooge coming from nowhere with few journalistic credentials.
Of course, after the bull shit of Louise Mensch, PropOrNot and the Hamiltan68 dashboard what else could we expect from the likes of JDW.

Tweets by Natasha Bertrand today ... in the footsteps of war reporters like Judith Miller, a Pulitzer Prize winning writer and regarded expert on Middle East issues with the NY Times.

NY Times and American Press Serving War Hawks

The New York Times' role in promoting war on Iraq | Sydney Morning Herald - Mar 23, 2004 |
"One of the most entrenched and disturbing features of American journalism [is] its pack mentality. Editors and journalists don't like to diverge too sharply from what everyone else is writing." Michael Massing, The New York Review of Books, February 26, 2004
"In April 2003, CNN aired footage of a marine in Baghdad who is confronted with a crowd of angry Iraqis. He shouts back in frustration, "We're here for your fucking freedom!" George Packer, The New Yorker, November 24, 2003
The one-year anniversary of the Iraq invasion is upon us and Iraq is teetering on the brink of civil war. The main rationale of the war, as frequently stated by George W. Bush, Tony Blair and John Howard, was Saddam's supposed arsenal of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their threat to the Middle East region and the world. No weapons have ever been found.

No Western leader was ever held to account as a war criminal.

[Transparency: I strongly opposed the Vietnam War under president Lyndon B. Johnson, the following wars before they started: Iraq invasion and occupation, regime change in Libya and Syria ... over a million people died and 10 million displaced persons or refugees]

Bush Convicted of War Crimes in Absentia, 12 May 2012

At the end of the week-long hearing, the five-panel tribunal unanimously delivered guilty verdicts against Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and their key legal advisors who were all convicted as war criminals for torture and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment.
Full transcripts of the charges, witness statements and other relevant material will now be sent to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court [ICC], as well as the United Nations [BWAH] and the Security Council [BWAH].
The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission is also asking that the names of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Yoo, Bybee, Addington and Haynes be entered and included in the Commission's Register of War Criminals for public record.
The tribunal is the initiative of Malaysia's retired Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad, who staunchly opposed the American-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

America's Disinformation Campaign - Unrelentless (none / 0)

Summit Meeting in Kyiv Faked Location
The summit meeting of East European leaders, hosted in Kiev by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky on March 15 was fabricated by the Polish government, with Polish secret service agents playing the part of journalists, and fake photographs of the meeting, press briefing, and train journey prepared by Zelensky's press office.
...
The Czech and Slovenian officials flew into Rzeszow Jasionka, the nearest airport to Przemysl; the airfield is also a NATO logistics and security base. They then drove to Przemysl. There the Ukrainians had despatched one of the luxury versions of the regular train service between Przemysl, Lvov, and Kiev. This had been fitted up for fabricated photographs of the Polish, Czech and Slovenian officials meeting as they purportedly travelled towards Zelensky in Kiev. The press which has published these pictures knows them to have been faked and has assisted in concealing the real location.
