“Remember the Maine,” lie the mentally deranged U.S. politicians sold the public so they could invade Cuba?
Remember the Gulf of Tonkin lie the U.S. mentally deranged U.S. politicians sold the public so they could invade Vietnam?
Remember the “Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass-destruction lie the U.S. mentally deranged U.S. politicians sold the public so they could invade Iraq?
Before the Maine an in between the WMDs, the murderous, thieving political gangs running Washington D.C., have launched wars, overthrown governments, and slaughtered tens of millions across the planet in the name of bringing “Freedom and Democracy” to countries they wanted to invade and control.
And the lies to build hatred and to take power from those they target continue.
Last week, NBC News published a report that challenged Washington’s claim that Russia is planning a chemical attack against Ukrainian forces, with one unnamed official going as far as to say that the claim was an effort by the U.S. to get into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s head.
The report cited three U.S. officials who said there is no evidence that Russia is planning a chemical attack against Ukraine.
Last month, President Joe Biden told reporters that the U.S. and NATO would respond if Moscow used these weapons.
“We will respond if he (Russian President Vladimir Putin) uses it,” Biden said. “The nature of the response depends on the nature of the use.” (See “U.S. ACCUSED OF OPERATING BIOWEAPONS LABS IN UKRAINE, MOUTHPIECE MEDIA PROMOTES GOV’T LINE.”)
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also said, “Any Russian use of chemical or biological weapons “would be a breach of all rules, all agreements and all existing conventions.”
“We can only say: Don’t do it,” he said.
While the mainstream media has generally ignored the latest D.C. lies, Antiwar.org was the first to point out the contradiction in the NBC News report that included a U.S. official who said the intelligence tied to chemical weapons was not “rock solid.”
The Trends Journal has reported on the information war between Washington and Moscow in an attempt to swing public opinion.
Russia has essentially denied all wrongdoings and blamed Ukrainian forces and their Western allies for perpetuating the misinformation on a large scale.
One U.S. official told NBC that the U.S. is willing to deploy information against Russia “even when confidence in the accuracy of the information wasn’t high.” (See “BUCHA MASSACRE: RUSSIA DENIES RESPONSIBILITY, BUT ALREADY CONVICTED BY MEDIA” and “TRENDS ANALYSIS: U.S. NEWS OUTLETS PERFORM PROPAGANDA ACROBATICS IN UKRAINE WAR.”)
Russia said Kyiv could very well use chemical weapons against its own people in an effort to further isolate Russia from Europe and the U.S.
TRENDPOST: Assuming that these three U.S. officials are legitimate and correct, they just proved the U.S. is currently in the middle of a propaganda campaign against Russia.
Since the end of World War II, despite Russia being the U.S. ally and the first nation to defeat Nazi Germany, America’s politicians launched the Russian fear and hatred Cold War campaign immediately after the war ended.
And for the most part it continued with politicians like Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama who have spent their entire careers fomenting hatred toward Russians to advance their brand based on the theory that hatred unites.
TRENDPOST: As we have noted, we are entirely opposed to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine despite Moscow’s reasons for doing so.
However, considering that we have covered Washington’s decades of intrusion and manipulation of the Ukraine government and their 2014 coup of its democratically elected president, Viktor Yanukovych, we understand why Russia invaded. According to the Russian news source RT:
“Moscow attacked its neighbor in late February, following Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements signed in 2014, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics in Donetsk and Lugansk. The German and French brokered protocols had been designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state.
“Russia has now demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.”
TRENDPOST: We also pointed out that while the Western media saturates the news with the death and destruction Russia has inflicted on Ukraine, there was never such coverage of the United States and its allies mass destruction and murders in their illegal wars waged against Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia or the ongoing mass murders in Yemen or Israel’s killing of thousands of Palestinians.
Indeed, the breaking news is about two Israelis shot in occupied Nablus by Palestinians, while the “why” and “what” has caused this have been whitewashed by the Western governments and media. (See “SHOOTING BREAKS OUT IN ISRAEL: REVENGE OR TERRORISM?”)
And, never a mention in American media or Washington of the U.S. track record of killing millions and stealing tens trillions from its taxpayers to wage wars based on lies against countries that were no threat to the American homeland.
And over all, Russia is a minor war-mongering nation compared to Washington’s track record. Brown University’s Watson Institute said over 929,000 people were killed “directly in the violence of the wars in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere.”
Several times as many civilians have died due to the reverberating effects of these wars.
