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/
