by GARY LEUPP (Professor of History at Tufts University, and holds a secondary appointment in the Department of Religion).

Reading an assortment of commentaries (“retrospectives”) on the tenth anniversary of the U.S. war on Iraq, and onset of the horrific occupation, I find most center their discussion on the now almost universally conceded fact that the war was based on false pretexts.

The cases of anthrax in Florida and New York are “suspicious” though there is not enough evidence to link them with bin Laden, he said.

How to spread terror with a beard and a hat

In 2005, the arrest of two British agents disguised as “terrorists” Shia with a car full of explosives in Basra has provided solid evidence in Iraq that the British occupation forces are involved in so-called sectarian terrorist bomb attacks, which, until now, have been acts, mysterious, unclaimed, and unexplained, of senseless violence.

How manufacture a Victory with mainstream-lies

The media have been criticized for accepting the Bush administration’s claims, in the run-up to the invasion, that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. The W.M.D. myth, and the media’s embrace of it, encouraged public support for war. The media also failed at Firdos Square, but in this case it was the media, rather than the government, that created the victory myth.

Because the world’s media were based at the Palestine, television networks had the equipment to go live the moment the marines arrived there.

An Idiot liar can not lie

December 4, 2001: “I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower-the TV was obviously on. And I used to fly, myself, and I said, well there’s one terrible pilot. I said, it must have been a horrible accident. But I was whisked off there, I didn’t have much time to think about it.”

January 5, 2002: “First of all, when we walked into the classroom, I had seen this plane fly into the first building. There was a TV set on. And you know, I thought it was pilot error and I was amazed that anybody could make such a terrible mistake.”

How a lie can make you a billionaire

Duke of Wellington

In 1815, a year after the end of the war of 1812, Napoleon escaped from his exile and returned to Paris. French troops were sent to capture him, but his charisma was such that soldiers rushed to the aid of their old commander, and hailed him as their new emperor, Napoleon returned to Paris as a hero.King Louis fled into exile and Napoleon again ascended to the throne of France – this time without a single shot was fired.
In March of 1815, Napoleon took an army that English Duke of Wellington defeated less than 90 days later at Waterloo. He borrowed five million pounds from the bank of Paris Ouvard to reset the troops, however, from then on, it was not unusual for central banks to private control in a war finanziassero both contenders.
Because a central bank should finance the war opposing sides? Because war is the largest generator of debt ever. A nation will borrow any amount to win. At the end loser is loaned just enough sufficient to maintain a slim hope of victory, while the ultimate winner is given enough to win. In addition, loans of this type are usually provided with the guarantee that the victor will honor the debts of the defeated, only bankers can not lose.
The site of the Battle of Waterloo is located approximately 200 miles northeast of Paris, in the Belgium there Napoleon suffered his final defeat, but not before thousands of Frenchmen and Englishmen lose their lives in a humid morning of June , 1815.
That day, June 18, 74,000 French troops clashed with soldiers, 67,000 British and other European nations, the outcome was uncertain and surely, in fact, if Napoleon had attacked earlier that day, he probably would have won the battle.

The mother of all lies

   Every war is started by a lie!!                                                           

  • The story of babies torn from incubators by Iraqi soldiers during the first Gulf War is the latest demonstration of a principle long understood by propagandists, that a lie repeated many times ends up being accepted as truth.

The blurring of boundaries between truth and myth is certainly not started with the Bush administration. The misinformation was part of the war at least since the days of Alexander the Great, who disseminava large shells along the path of his troops in retreat, the enemy into believing that his soldiers were giants.
The trick anecdote about Alexander the Great is usually told the soldiers in the first lesson of training in psychological operations (often called “psyops”).

In 1998 the U.S. Air Force document, titled Information Operations, states that “Information Operations are applied across the range of military operations, from peacekeeping to full conflict … it is important to emphasize that the Information warfare is a formula that is implemented in all Air Force activities, from peace to war in order to enable the effective execution of all tasks … The execution of information operations in the aeronautical, space and cyberspace across all aspects of the conflict “(note the use of” doublespeak “[or" dual language ",  in the context of the terms" peace "and" military operations ").

The document contains sections entitled Information Operations "psychological operations", "electronic warfare", "information attack", and "military deception".
In today's world, it declares: "the growing information infrastructure transcends industry, media, military, and governmental and nongovernmental entities involved. And 'characterized by a fusion of military and civilian networks and technologies ... In fact, a newsletter, a press diplomatic or military message ordering the execution of an operation, all depend on [global information infrastructure]. “
In this context, the psyops “are designed to convey selected information and clues to the leaders and foreign audiences, in order to influence their emotions, stimuli, motives, objective and ultimately the behavior,” while “military deception confuses opponents , leading them to act according to the objective of its creators. “
In practice, the document says, quoting the Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu, “all operations of war are based on deception”.
