"The West" are preparing us for a war against Syria.



 Syria: air attacks loom as Britain and US pledge to use force within two weeks

Intelligence on targets would come from pilotless drones patrolling the skies above Syria and special forces on the ground.



For many months prior to the start of the Second World War, the German press and media, had conducted a campaign of distortion and myth essentially directed at Poland, with the objective of justifying their subsequent aggression against that country, culminating with the invasion of September 1st 1939, and instigating, what became the deadliest conflict in human history, with an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities.
The “art” of propaganda, was described in Mien Kampf with the words

The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses. The broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgement in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly wavering between one idea and another.”

and in another passage

"Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favourable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to its own side.”


 



From the general tone of much of today’s press and media, it would be understandable for one to think that they had somehow been transported in time and were reading the newspapers of August 26th 1939 at a Berlin street news stand. The only subtle difference, is that references to Poland had been transformed in references to Syria.
Consider just a sample of media leads from this mornings press:

UK urges 'serious response' on Syria: BBC News
He said Prime Minister David Cameron had spoken with President Barack Obama and that both agree there must be a 'serious response.' “

I have argued in previous posts, that the United States, the United Kingdom and latterly France have been itching to become involved in the conflict since it began two years ago.  Whatever covert motives other powers may have for intervention, this is a civil war with its roots going back to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the subsequent division of land in the Middle East, essentially by the French and Great Britain using straight lines across the sand to denote borders, with no recognition of ethnic, cultural or tribal differences.
Since WW2 of course a complex situation has been made infinitely worse by the "Western powers" imposing and supporting "friendly"governments and regimes in countries across the region, notwithstanding the fact that such regimes are invariably despised and unwanted by the majority of their peoples.Consequently, oppressive military dictatorships have been established to ensure that the country remains "on side" with the West or has it has become known as "the International Community".

Today's clamour in the press, for intervention against the Syrian government, is no more than part of  an orchestrated campaign to create public acceptance of the proposition, that military action is the only way forward, that the Assad government are the bad guys and that we must act now to end the conflict.
The outcome of course will be fundamentally different. The motives and targets may have changed since 1939 but the method of creating the hysteria remains the same, albeit with a few subtle differences and with the utilisation of 21st century technology. 

On 26th August 1939, World War 2 was just six days away. How will history record the events of 26th August 2013 and the next six days ?

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
