The Guardian Publishes More Blatant MI6 Lies About Julian Assange

December 3, 2018 Craig Murray, Informationclearinghouse.info Educate! Julian Assange, Media, Propaganda, Repression, Whistleblowers, Wikileaks

November 27, 2018 "Information Clearing House" - The right wing Ecuadorean government of President Moreno continues to churn out its production line of fake documents regarding Julian Assange, and channel them straight to MI6 mouthpiece Luke Harding of the Guardian. Amazingly, more Ecuadorean Government documents have just been discovered for the Guardian, this time spy agency reports detailing visits of Paul Manafort and unspecified “Russians” to the Embassy. By a wonderful coincidence of timing, this is the day after Mueller announced that Manafort’s plea deal was over. The problem with this latest fabrication is that Moreno had already released the visitor logs to the Mueller inquiry. Neither Manafort nor these “Russians” are in the visitor logs.

Anonymous Exposes Huge Psyop In Europe Funded By UK & US

November 25, 2018 Staff, Russia Today Educate! Media, Propaganda, Russia

Anonymous has published documents which it claims have unearthed a massive UK-led psyop to create a "large-scale information secret service" in Europe – all under the guise of countering "Russian propaganda." In a document dump on November 5, the group exposed the UK-based 'Integrity Initiative', said to have been established by the ominously titled Institute for Statecraft in 2015. The main objective is "to provide a coordinated Western response to Russian disinformation and other elements of hybrid warfare."

Exposing The White Helmets : Collated Video Evidence Of Terrorist Collusion

November 22, 2018 Staff, Clarity Of Signal Educate! Propaganda, Syria, Terrorism

One hour video presentation provides extensive evidence of White Helmets collusion with Islamic terrorist groups operating in Syria, including Jabhat al-Nusra, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (al-Nusra Front), Jayesh al-Islam, Ahrar al-Sham, Nour al-Zinki, Jund al-Aqsa, The Islamic Army of Conquest and ISIS, amongst others. Video also provides a large number of screen-captured images of MSM articles and additional related material that highlight the lead mainstream media promoters of the White Helmets, as well as those that sought to tell the truth.

The Mainstream Media Is Lying About The California Fires

November 22, 2018 By Lee Camp, Truthdig.com Educate! California, Media, Propaganda, Wildfires

I don’t like accurately predicting the future. But it happens to me sometimes. And it’s never a good thing. Not once have I predicted that I would stumble upon a great sum of money or that a friendly squirrel would mysteriously leave a fresh, delicious scone on my windowsill. No, the things I’ve said that have come true years later have always been utterly awful. And the latest one has to do with California. This week, Donald Trump has continued to blame the horrific fires in California on forest mismanagement—basically saying that if the parks service had just raked up a few more dry leaves, then countless people, homes and buildings would not have been incinerated. I unintentionally predicted this kind of idiocy. I said something similar in a 2011 stand-up comedy album titled “Chaos For The Weary.”

The New York Times’ Misleading Story On North Korean Missiles

November 14, 2018 By Leon V. Sigal, 38north.org Educate! New York Times (NYT), North Korea, Propaganda, weapons

That is the ominous lede of a story by David Sanger and William Broad in The New York Times on Monday, November 12. Substituting tendentious hyperbole for sound reporting may convince editors to feature a story on page one, but it is a disservice to readers. The United States and North Korea have yet to conclude an agreement that inhibits deployment of missiles by Pyongyang, never mind requiring their dismantlement. Nor has Washington yet offered the necessary reciprocal steps that might make such a deal possible. A negotiated suspension of missile deployment and production should follow a halt to fissile material production and take precedence in talks over a complete declaration of North Korea’s inventory of nuclear and missile assets.

Don’t Buy The Establishment’s Outrage. Real Journalism Is Their Enemy.

November 10, 2018 James Wright, Thecanary.co Resist! Journalism, Media, Propaganda, Repression

That’s true: we must show solidarity with all journalists in the face of attacks on fundamental press freedoms. Trump went on to make up accusations that Acosta ‘placed his hands’ on a young female White House staffer. And then the president revoked his press pass. All of Trump’s actions here are wrong and dangerous. However, our solidarity should include Acosta – not end with him. The establishment’s demonisation of groundbreaking journalism Julian Assange, for example, is the founder of a publication that has won almost 20 prestigious journalistic awards. But he could end up facing the death penalty under the US Espionage Act simply for exposing the actions of the powerful.

‘That’s Not Who We Are?’ Well, You Are What You Do, Your Actions Speak For Themselves

October 30, 2018 Michael Payne, Nationofchange.org Educate! Nationalism, Propaganda, US Imperialism

How often do we hear those words, “that’s not who we are”, uttered in situations when Americans see or hear something extremely troubling or of a tragic event or action initiated by someone in this government or in our society; one that brings great harm to people in America or in some other part of the world? We hear that phrase so often. It’s like it’s been embedded in our culture. It’s kind of an excuse or a form of self-denial when we see something that is too painful to accept. Here’s a quote that puts for the truth of the matter: “You are what you do, not what you say you do:” And as the title says, your actions speak for themselves. Now, in that phrase of self-denial what is the meaning of the word “we?”

“The Russians Are Coming, Again (“First As Tragedy, Then As Farce”)

October 25, 2018 Ron Ridenour, Blackagendareport.com Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Propaganda, Russia, United States

The book’s title comes from the 1966 Academy Award–winning film The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming, directed by Norman Jewison, which parodies the Cold War paranoia pervading the US during the war against Vietnam and depicts chaos that seized a small coastal New England town after a Soviet submarine ran aground. The sub-title—“first as tragedy, then as farce”—comes from Karl Marx’ description of history repeating itself. Half-century after the film was released US citizens are again being instructed to fear the “Russian menace.” Bastions of “objective media outlets” bombard us with such ridiculousness. Why? Just ask one question.

Phillip Cross: The Mystery Wikipedia Editor Targeting Anti-War Sites

October 18, 2018 By Media Lens, Mintpressnews.com Educate! Media, Propaganda, Repression

Apart from Cross, in the 17 years we have been working on Media Lens, only one other person has subjected us to a relentlessly negative campaign that is in any way comparable. Almost ten years ago, we documented how Oliver Kamm had been pursuing us relentlessly across the internet – writing blogs about us, posting grisly comments about our genocide ‘denial’ under online interviews with us, and often warning journalists who mentioned our work – or who, god forbid, praised our work – or who interacted with us in any way, that we were blood-drenched ‘genocide deniers’ and/or seedy ‘misogynists’.

Why Is The CBC Lying About Venezuela? Anna Maria Tremonti Manufactures Dissent

October 18, 2018 By Alison Bodine, Venezuelanalysis.com Educate! Canada, Media, Propaganda, Venezuela

While in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly during the last week of September the Prime Minister of Canada spoke about Venezuela. As he defended the government of Canada’s outrageous decision to lead the right-wing attempt to bring the President of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro to the International Criminal Court Trudeau said, "The message is that the situation in Venezuela is catastrophic. There is a humanitarian crisis going on in a country that used to be one of the most successful and prosperous countries in South America." Interestingly, with this one rhetorical and inflated lie, meant to justify Canada’s intervention in the internal affairs of the sovereign and independent country of Venezuela, Trudeau has nicely summed up a recent report on Venezuela on the CBC Radio’s “The Current.”

Omidyar’s Intercept Teams Up With War-Propaganda Firm Bellingcat

October 10, 2018 By Whitney Webb, Mintpressnews.com Educate! Alphabet, Google, Propaganda, Wars and Militarism

NEW YORK — The Intercept, along with its parent company First Look Media, recently hosted a workshop for pro-war, Google-funded organization Bellingcat in New York. The workshop, which cost $2,500 per person to attend and lasted five days, aimed to instruct participants in how to perform investigations using “open source” tools — with Bellingcat’s past, controversial investigations for use as case studies. The exact details of what occurred during the workshop have not been made public and Bellingcat founder Eliot Higgins declined to elaborate on the workshop when pressed on social media. The decision on the part of The Intercept is particularly troubling given that the publication has long been associated with the track records of its founding members, such as Jeremy Scahill and Glenn Greenwald...

Longtime Friend Of Deported Guardian ‘Reporter’ Speaks Out On Their Work ‘Inhabiting The Role Of A Foreign Agent Of Imperialism’

October 5, 2018 Max Blumenthal, Thecanary.co Educate! Journalism, Media, Propaganda, Regime Change, US Imperialism

On 1 October, Nicaraguan authorities deported Goette-Luciak, an anthropologist-turned-reporter who had published a series of factually flawed reports in the Guardian and Washington Post that reinforced the narrative of the country’s opposition forces. Goette-Luciak had been on the radar of supporters of the governing Sandinista front for weeks; on Facebook, many outed him as an opposition partisan who had worked alongside key figures involved in the failed coupthat rocked Nicaragua earlier this year. On 26 September, I published an article for MintPress (a later version of which The Canary republished) that highlighted Goette-Luciak’s close relationship with the MRS, a US-funded opposition party that was intimately involved in the attempted coup against Nicaragua’s Sandinista government.

Facebook’s New Propaganda Partners

September 26, 2018 Alan MacLeod, Fair.org Educate! Facebook, Propaganda

Media giant Facebook recently announced (Reuters, 9/19/18) it would combat “fake news” by partnering with two propaganda organizations founded and funded by the US government: the National Democratic Institute (NDI) and the International Republican Institute (IRI). The social media platform was already working closely with the NATO-sponsored Atlantic Council think tank (FAIR.org, 5/21/18). In a previous FAIR article (8/22/18), I noted that the “fake news” issue was being used as a pretext to attack the left and progressive news sites. Changes to Facebook’s algorithm have reduced traffic significantly for progressive outlets like Common Dreams (5/3/18), while the pages of Venezuelan government–backed TeleSur English and the independent Venezuelanalysis were shut down without warning, and only reinstated after a public outcry.

NYT Admits That Its “Mountain of Evidence” For Russian Collusion Is Smaller Than A Molehill

September 22, 2018 Staff, Moonofalabama.org Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, New York Times (NYT), Propaganda

The 'Russian influence' and 'collusion' between Russia and Trump are still what they were two years ago, when the campaign started - they are fake news. Unfortunately the anti-Russian and anti-Trump propaganda campaign has had serious consequences. Censorship in social media increased drastically and international relations with Russia were seriously damaged. The main stream media though, will never take responsibility for that.

First They Came For Alex Jones, Then RT And Syrian TV

September 15, 2018 Ann Garrison, Blackagendareport.com Educate! Inter-Imperialist Rivalry, Media, Propaganda, Russia, Syria

Shortly after Alex Jones was kicked off Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, New York City residents let me know via email and Twitter that Russian cable news outlet RT was no longer available to Charter Spectrum subscribers there. They all reported the screen message, “Programming on this network is no longer available.” One said that he had called Spectrum customer service, where a representative confirmed that RT was no longer available, with no further information. He complained and the rep said she’d pass it upstairs. The RT website confirmed that Charter Spectrum covers the entire NYC area and northern New Jersey. ( Actually, their website still says Time Warner, although Time Warner has been subsumed by Charter Spectrum.)
