Story of Iran “Rape Threat” Written by Neo-Con Cartoon Character “Reza Kahlili” By Tony Cartalucci
“Reza Kahlili” is not his real name. Appearing either masked or silhouetted, “Reza Kahlili” is a reoccurring character in the US Neo-Con’s long-running pro-war, anti-Iranian propaganda campaign, stretching all the way back to the Bush administration. Continue reading

The British government is trying to construct a case to allow itself to attack Syria. To this purpose the British Joint Intelligence Organisations issued a two page paper on Syria: Reported Chemical Weapon Use (pdf).

War Propaganda and Media Lies within the Syria Conflict By grtv
Investigative journalist Michel Collon speaks with RT on the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian conflict. Did Bashar el Assad used chemical weapons in Syria?

Syria chemical weapons claim: The BBC just doesn’t give up By William Bowles
Evidently, the BBC was not satisfied with its pathetic propaganda pieces I referred to in yesterday’s article, so it’s come out with another, equally audacious piece of fiction that reiterates, again without any proof, the same drivel it peddled to us yesterday (and the day before). But what ‘UN’s Angela Kane in Syria urges chemical… Continue reading

Sarin Gas : a new propaganda campaign against Syria
This propaganda operation is grotesque: as everyone can observe on YouTube, the video evidence of the massacre of August 21st having been posted by the “Majles Rif” account … the day before, on August 20th . On these videos, shocking at first, one quickly detects a setup: the wounded children appear haggard or drugged, do… Continue reading

Syria gas attack story has whiff of Saudi war propaganda By William Engdahl
The reports of massive chemical attacks in Syria might become the “red line” for the US for active military intervention. But even rudimentary analysis of the story shows it is too early to believe its credibility. Continue reading

Movie Review: “We Steal Secrets”: A Masterclass in Propaganda. The Assassination of Julian Assange By Jonathan Cook
I have just watched We Steal Secrets, Alex Gibney’s documentary about Wikileaks and Julian Assange. One useful thing I learnt is the difference between a hatchet job and character assassination. Gibney is too clever for a hatchet job, and his propaganda is all the more effective for it. Continue reading

Obama in South Africa: Political and Media Disconnect By Michael Shaw
If anything, we need to understand these protest images in S. Africa more in terms of current and similar photos from Brazil and Turkey. The public, in other words, is more sensitive these days to when they’re being patronized. Continue reading

France Channels Weapons to Syrian Al Qaeda Terrorists Involved in Massacre of Civilians in Hatlah village, Der Ezzor By Gearóid Ó Colmáin
The Western press was mute on the Syrian war on June 12th as reports came of another massacre carried out by the so called ‘rebels’, who are in fact members of al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda affiliated groups. Among those massacred in the village of Hatlah in the region of Deir e Zohr were dozens of women… Continue reading

South Africa: Since 1994, a massive wealth shift from already poor to the 'uber-rich' By Dale T. McKinley
Every time the annual South African season of wage negotiations is about to begin, as it is now, representatives of capital unleash a tsunami of propaganda about workers’ “high and unaffordable” wage demands. Dire warnings of destructive social unrest/conflict, high inflation rates, poor competitiveness and generalised economic devastation roll off their silver-lined tongues. Continue reading

Media Lens: ‘This Madman Must Be Stopped’ – Syrian Chemical Weapons By David Edwards
This really is astonishing, in the strange world of media propaganda, news reports contradict editorials and headlines contradict content. The guiding ethic: ‘I want to believe!’ It is impossible to avoid the conclusion that media performance is shaped by state-corporate forces that are deeply invested in decades of war and the spoils that go with… Continue reading

Apologists for Israel take top posts at BBC By Amena Saleem
The American poet T.S. Eliot wrote that “April is the cruelest month.” The phrase springs to mind in April 2013, the month that a new director-general took up his post at the BBC and, within two weeks, had installed a line-up of hardline Zionists at the top of the world’s largest publicly-funded news organization. Continue reading

Media Lens: ‘The Stupidest And Most Extreme Section Of The British Left’
In a media alert earlier this year, we described our under-resourced challenges of the corporate media as ‘jousting with toothpicks’. Although the analogy was light-hearted, the work of Media Lens is serious and would not be possible without your support. Continue reading
