“STATE LIES”

How the West has fabricated its foreign policy and justified its geopolitics on the basis of lies and false frameworks

By Sir Charlattam

The downing of that missile in the Polish countryside on 16 November was so far the most dangerous and at the same time the most devious episode that demonstrates the extent to which a government is capable of lying to gain strategic advantage. The abortive attempt to accuse Russia of launching a missile it never launched was undoubtedly a blunder that the British and Americans instigated in their puppet Volodymyr Zelensky who was then discredited without hesitation by the firm stand of Moscow and the West with no way of sustaining the hoax.

Again it must be said, nothing new in the Anglo-Saxon governments' manual of dirty tricks. For more than half the last century both London and Washington have deployed all manner of lies and deceptions that the media have helped to validate for the history books. The good guys were always in the West and the bad guys in the East, so we could reduce the thinking of those decrepit and supremacist political representatives of democracy.

The main excuse for their moves has always been democracy, but the results later showed that it was only a discursive ploy to destroy a nation and plunge it into chaos and thus dominate it.

The same with the falsification of reality. When the US was already invading Iraq in March 2003, politicians in Washington believed that the Iraqis would not resist, and this was reported in media outlets such as the BBC and CNN, which produced predictive stories that US troops would be greeted with flowers in the streets of Baghdad. When it became clear that this was not going to happen, Bush and his top officials such as Donald Rumsfeld stepped up their rhetoric against Islam as the factor preventing the arrival of democracy to the Iraqis, which in translation meant surrendering to the US. Blair did the same, like a monkey imitating the master's grimaces he followed Washington's script and Basra became a hell for his troops.

On this basis, the Western media, and in particular the American and British media, spared no effort in weaving all kinds of lies and stories that had gone from the usual Arabophobia they had been at the forefront to a more Islamophobic one, i.e., discursively hateful towards Islam and Muslims. The consequences were soon seen and the murders and attacks against Muslims in Europe[1] took off in a bloody boom and today it is a trend that is normalised by these same media.

For years and decades, certain lies have been used to cover up the dirty business of US governments and their allies. The case of the downed plane at Lockerbie in 1988, which was blamed on Libya, is one such cover-up -and a scam on public opinion- in which they tried to cover up shady dealings involving the CIA and other agencies[2].

Closer in time we saw how, under the argument of the supposed fight against terrorism, under the table the Americans and their allies fed what they proclaimed to be fighting by bringing to the Middle East a chaos that they disguisedly intended to extend to Central Asia with the hoaxes of ISIS and other monsters. Now, looking at what is happening in Ukraine, one can understand the purpose of this, but unlike in previous cases, there is a power that has cut them off.

Since before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Western media have been disparaging the Slavic East and more precisely the Russians. The main interest in supporting and maintaining this Russophobic policy comes from the British Foreign Office, which responds to a historical rivalry dating back to the Tsarist era and which is enthusiastically maintained by its media. It can be said that the Russophobic propaganda has only gone through low intensity stages and has become increasingly fierce since Vladimir Putin came to power in 1999 and has become remarkably hysterical when NATO's shenanigans in Syria (chemical attack in “Al Ghouta”) and disarms several malicious attempts by British intelligence to implicate Russia internationally.

Today, of course, and taking advantage of the circumstances of the war in Ukraine, the situation could not be better to fabricate all kinds of stories that seek to generate not just anti-Putin but generalised anti-Russian sentiment, as we have seen since the beginning of Special Operation “Z”. In this plan, we have seen how situations as opaque and sinister as the executions in Bucha, which were blamed on Russian troops as they were retreating, have been made up and staged, and many indications point to the ultra-nationalist battalions as the real perpetrators.

Certainly and on the latter, the Western media have juggled discursively to try to cover up a socio-political reality in Ukraine that speaks of neo-Nazi militancy on the rise since 2014 intermingled and financed with the money of known Jewish oligarchs who in turn share very good relations with European governments and even Israeli ministers How to cover this up? Simply by not publishing it, that's how information “democracy” works.

Since then and without pause, the people of Donbass who refused to recognise the coup d'état shamelessly supported by Washington, have been enduring the indiscriminate shelling by the Ukrainian army that forced the people to live under the cellars of their houses. Where are the articles in the West about the coverage of these events?

For the British tabloid editors and their little boys paid by MI5 to remotely type in their heads at every moment and before typing on their keyboards they have to answer How the hell can I make up this mountain of shit?
