here's a tip of the iceberg march thru recent history concerning the wonderfulness of british and therefore, american propaganda history;


Back in the early days of mankind, warriors would paint their faces to intimidate their enemies on the field of battle. This example serves as a clear indicator that psychological warfare is just as old as the conventional one. It’s the strategies that are changing, while basic concepts remain the same. So is it any wonder that charging ranks of men would be shouting at the top of their lungs to render the defending side weakhearted for centuries.
However, psychological warfare has only reached the level of propaganda as we know it today in the course of WWI. Is it any wonder that the state that is known for its deception and trickery managed to come on top of this trend? The dirtiest lie that London managed to spread all across the globe was the notion that German soldiers would collect their fallen comrades along with the bodies of their enemies to produce stearine and feed pigs. This disgusting lie was only debunked in 1925 by the American newspaper Times Dispatch that would state that the story that made the rest of the world hate Germans turned out to be a blatant lie. The House of Commons had to make an official statement admitting that this whole story was a fake that British intelligence agents devised to allow Britain to get an upper hand in the war against Germany.
It’s only logical to assume that a century later we know better than to believe British media sources that are still busy fabricating propaganda, but nothing has really changed. Even though London has recently been trying to discredit Russia instead of Germany, there’s no real way of knowing who will become the next target of those poisonous lies.
It’s hardly a surprise that Britain’s prime minister Theresa May in her Christmas message to the UK armed forces expressed her gratitude to British pilots and sailors for defending the shores of the kingdom from the “Russian invasion.” Of course, it was of little importance that Russia hasn’t even tried to invade anyone last year.
At least the UK had the decency to recognize that Russia’s runaway oligarch Alexander Perepilichnyy died of natural causes, after blaming his death on Moscow for years on end.
It had no more luck blaming the protests of the yellow vests movement in France on alleged Russia’s meddling, as the French security services were quick to debunk these lies in the publication of Journal du Dimanche last December. It’s curious that prior to this statement freelance journalists working for the BBC were complaining of their editors forcing them to come up with at least some semblance of evidence of Russian meddling in the French protests, as they “wanted blood”.
Similar attempts would be made by the UK all through the last year, with the so-called Salisbury incident that was staged in a bid to disrupt the FIFA world cup in Russia. During that time senior British officials would make all sorts of wild accusations against Moscow, while presenting zero evidence to back up their claims. As it’s been revealed by the hackers working for the Anonymous group and later recognized by the British foreign office, London launched operation Integrity Initiative some time ago, that is aimed at meddling in the internal affairs of other states under the pretext of combating Russia’s disinformation attempts..............https://journal-neo.org/2019/01/26/propaganda-the-only-weapon-that-london-has-to-distract-humanity-from-its-crimes/
