BBC Caught In Syria Massacre Propaganda Hoax.

News agency uses picture of dead Iraqi children to depict alleged government atrocity.

The British media has been caught yet again with its pants down in the effort to sell a NATO-led attack on Syria, with the revelation that BBC News used a years-old photo of dead Iraqi children to depict victims of an alleged government assault on the town of Houla.
In a report issued hours after the massacre, the BBC used a photo that was first published over nine years ago and taken in Al Mussayyib, Iraq. The image shows a child skipping over the dead bodies of hundreds of Iraqi children who have been transported from a mass grave to be identified.

The caption used by the BBC to describe the image stated that the picture was provided by an activist and “believed to show the bodies of children in Houla awaiting burial”. After the “mistake” was exposed, the BBC changed their original article but did not issue a retraction.
The photographer who took the original picture, Marco Di Lauro, posted on his Facebook page, “Somebody is using my images as a propaganda against the Syrian government to prove the massacre.” Di Lauro told the London Telegraph he was “astonished” the BBC had failed to check to authenticity of the image.
“What I am really astonished by is that a news organization like the BBC doesn’t check the sources and it’s willing to publish any picture sent it by anyone: activist, citizen journalist or whatever. That’s all,” said Di Lauro.
Information surrounding the massacre at Houla clearly suggests that the murders were carried out by death squads and not shelling by government tanks. Video footage of the child victims (warning – graphic) appears to show gunshot wounds to the face and stab wounds. None of the victims appear to have lost any limbs.
As RT reports, “Many of the victims were executed at point blank-range,” a fact inconsistent with the explanation that tank shelling was responsible for the bloodshed. It’s equally as likely that terrorist death squads, responsible for numerous deadly bombings in Syria that have killed scores of people, were responsible for the massacre.
As Tony Cartalucci writes, “Why on earth would the Syrian Government want to kill Syrian children? And even if for some reason they did – why would they do so in a way more or less guaranteed to attract international condemnation and renewed calls for intervention? In other words, ‘cui bono‘?

Corporate media: anonymous ‘official’, generic drawing = Iran nuke ‘evidence’.

May 14th 2012 By Carl Herman   Find Full Article Here:-

Following US and UK “leaders” Obama and Cameron’s threats to war-murder Iranians under ongoing similar non-specific accusations, US corporate media now “reports” that an un-named alleged official from an un-named nation provided a generic drawing alleged to be from an Iran military base consistent with nuclear weapon development.

A generic search provided 8 million results from the initial AP “news”, such as this one, showing the extent of corporate media’s echo chamber.

Let’s compare this typical corporate media “reporting” with revealing objective data:

The US waged unlawful war on Iran for 35 consecutive years with the overthrow of their democracy from 1953 to 1979, and then supported Iraq’s War of Aggression from 1980-1988 that war-murdered ~ one million Iranians.

US corporate media lies in omission of this history, then lie in omission that US war-murder threats are both criminal and ignore that all inspections find Iran’s treaty-guaranteed programs for nuclear energy and medical isotopes fully accountable. They lie in omission by failing to report that Iran is in compliance with all treaty terms, and that the US is in violation for not eliminating its nuclear arsenal per treaty terms. Corporate media also lie in omission (such as here) by not reporting that the Non-Proliferation Treaty does not have any authority to enter military bases. To make this last point clear, imagine if Iran demanded access to US military bases to prove what we know, the US has expanded technology and efficiency of their nuclear arsenal in Orwellian opposite of treaty terms. Would the US comply and US media demand such access?

Corporate media lie in commission by stating Iran’s president threatened Israel, when the crystal-clear content and context is stating Israel is wiping the Palestinians off the map.

US corporate media lie in omission that US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are in direct violation of war law and UN Security Council Resolutions, and that all “reasons” for those wars are disclosed by US government agency reports as known lies as they were told. This is immediate and vital history when considering the same actors’ rhetoric with a new war target.

Seven Years Later Depleted Uranium Plagues Fallujah.

May 5th 2012 By Richard Walker. Find Article Here:-

It was once known as Iraq’s City of Mosques. But today Fallujah is known as a place where large numbers of children are born with deformities and many people there die from rare cancers. Now, new reports have linked the causes to depleted uranium munitions and white phosphorous shells that were used by U.S. forces during the brutal siege of the city in November 2004.

There was an abortive siege of Fallujah in April 2004 following the public abduction and murder of four American mercenaries by a mob. But the ferocious November siege in that year stands out as a war crime for which the Bush administration should be held accountable.

In 2004, this newspaper was one of the few that shone a light on the slaughter of civilians in Fallujah. In contrast, the mainstream media became the cheerleader for the propaganda that Fallujah was inhabited by thousands of foreign fighters.

Recently Ross Caputi, a former Marine, said that  the U.S. chain of command told Marines there were 2,000 foreign fighters in the city and that most civilians had been evacuated. That was a lie. There were still 60,000 civilians in a city of originally 250,000 inhabitants when the siege began. Therefore, the fatal impression given to soldiers that all those who remained posed a lethal threat was far from true.

After a three-week bombardment, more than half of Fallujah was leveled, including 65 mosques. One of the first buildings targeted was the main hospital, which meant there were no surgeons to treat civilians wounded during the siege. Marines used Hellfire missiles, tanks loaded with depleted uranium artillery shells, large quantities of C4 explosives and Mark 19 grenade launchers. From the air, phosphorous bombs were dropped as well as 2,000-pound bombs. In Caputi’s words, “Everything was used.”

Marines also employed the tactic of “reconnaissance by fire,” which involved firing into homes and buildings to determine if anyone lived in them. By Caputi’s reckoning, there was not only looting of the dead but mutilation of bodies, which has become an emerging feature of the war in Afghanistan.

The civilians trapped in Fallujah were defenseless as a battle raged around them. Of the 200,000 inhabitants who did flee, many were forced to seek shelter in the desert right outside the city. A grave containing 21 bodies wrapped in black body bags of the type used by the Marine Corps has since been unearthed in a cemetery in the center of the city. It is believed it dates to the 2004 November siege. The victims had been bound, gagged and shot execution-style.

Israel destroys dairy farm in occupied Palestine.

Destruction of dairy farm in Khaled al Wardeh May 1, 2012

On May Day, a day in Israel in which all government offices are closed, in the village of Khaled al Wardeh outside Hebron, the Israeli military demolished a dairy farm.

Receiving this horrific story via my inbox today threw me. I googled it over and over again and was astounded that this report, from the Christian Peacemakers, was the only documentation of a crime that should shock the conscience of humanity: the demolition of a whole dairy farm, the livelihood of 4 families, who provide sustenance for a much wider population. Look at this farm! Look at it and think of farms in your country. Gone, destroyed, for what? What could possibly justify this act?

More photos available at Christian Peacemaker Teams website.

May Day destruction

The Israeli military has an odd way of observing May Day, International Worker’s Day, by destroying the livelihoods of four families. Khaled al Wardeh is near the Palestinian town of Beni Na’im, 5 miles east of Hebron.

• US Military has almost 190 of the craft, classed as the most advanced at the country’s disposal
• Pilots report dizziness and blackouts while flying
• Airforce general insists there is no problem and that the fighter strikes fear into hearts’ of America’s enemies

US fighter pilots have asked not to fly the military’s 190 F-22 Raptors because of oxygen problems with the $143million (£88m) stealth fighter, an Air Force leader has revealed.

Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of Air Combat Command at Langley Air Force Base in Hampton, Virginia, told reporters that a ‘very small’ number of pilots have asked not to fly the fifth-generation fighter jets or to be reassigned.

‘Obviously it’s a very sensitive thing because we are trying to ensure that the community fully understands all that we’re doing to try to get to a solution,’ Hostage said.

Israel sold Argentina arms during Falklands War against UK.

May 4th 2012.  Find Article Here:-

A new report has revealed that the Israeli regime supplied Argentina with weapons during the Falklands War between Britain and Buenos Aires in 1982.

Israeli Mirage jets bought during the Falklands War, painted with the Peruvian flag as a way of enabling the sale.

According to the report, Argentine pilots have spoken for the first time of a secret mission that took them to the Occupied Palestinian Territories to seek out weapons during the conflict.
The report comes as Argentina and Britain commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Falklands War.
This year marked 30 years since the first significant events of the war – which claimed the lives of 258 British and 649 Argentine troops – including the sinking of the General Belgrano, an Argentine warship.
On April 2, 1982, Argentina had invaded the Falkland Islands and, just days later, a team of seven civilian pilots was summoned by the Argentine air force and sworn to secrecy.
They were to aid their country’s war effort by flying twice to Tel Aviv, to load up planes with Israeli weapons and artillery, to be used by troops on the ground against the British.
Flying a non-military Boeing 707 that belonged to national airline Aerol?neas Argentinas, Ram?n Arce, head of the group, left Buenos Aires for Tel Aviv, via the Canary Islands, on April 7.
“When we landed at Ben-Gurion, a committee of Argentines and Israelis met us,” Arce told Clar?n, an Argentine national newspaper, breaking his 30-year silence. “They told us they had been waiting.”
It was the first time an Aerol?neas Argentinas plane had touched down in Israel. Nobody was to know, until now, that it would return to Buenos Aires filled with weaponry.
Jorge Prelooker, now 75, was pilot of the second flight to Tel Aviv. “The British couldn’t attack as we were flying non-military aircraft with civilians aboard,” he said. “There would have been international uproar had we been shot down.”
Prelooker explained how the flights to Israel were also used as reconnaissance. “They told us to look out for British warships as we crossed the Atlantic Ocean and report back to Buenos Aires,” he said.
Among the weaponry that was loaded onto the planes in Tel Aviv were air-to-air missiles, anti-tank mines, mortars, bombs and machine guns.
The pilots also embarked on four similar flights to Tripoli, Libya, where the military dictatorship that took Argentina to war had struck up an arms deal with Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.
In addition to the operation, Israel collaborated with the dictatorship in Argentina during the Falklands War by sending arms via Peru so that the British would not find out.
The then prime minister, Menachem Begin, agreed to supply equipment – including gas masks, radar systems and fuel tanks for bombers – to Leopoldo Galtieri, head of the military junta, reportedly because of a long-standing hatred of the UK.
Meanwhile, Peruvian president Fernando Belaunde Therry authorised the transport of arms from Israel to Lima and Callao, a major Pacific port, before their transfer to Buenos Aires aboard Aerol?neas Argentinas aircraft.
Crucially, the Peruvian air force signed blank purchase orders during the 74-day conflict, enabling the Argentine dictatorship to request whatever it needed from Israel.

Nicolas Sarkozy is facing a renewed claim that Muammar Gaddafi agreed to donate up to €50m to his last presidential campaign.

The investigative website Mediapart published what it called “compelling new evidence” that the Libyan regime decided to help finance Sarkozy’s successful election campaign in 2007. A document that it said was signed by Gaddafi’s foreign intelligence chief, Moussa Koussa, stated that the regime had approved a payment of €50m (£40m).

Sarkozy said the document was a fabrication and a disgrace, and accused the French left of using the reports “to create a distraction”.

The letter, written in Arabic and dated December 2006, said Tripoli had agreed to “support the electoral campaign” of Sarkozy.

It said an agreement on “the amount and method of payment” had been reachedat a meeting two months earlier involving Brice Hortefeux, a close ally of Sarkozy and then minister for local government.

The, meeting on 6 October 2006,was said to have been attended by Gaddafi’s spy chief, Abdullah Senussi, the head of Tripoli’s African investment fund, Bashir Saleh, and the Franco-Lebanese arms broker and businessman Ziad Takieddine.

Gaddafi put up 50M euro for Sarkozy’s presidential bid

Former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had agreed to fund French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s 2007 election campaign – to the tune of 50 million euro, a new report says.

The Paris-based investigative website Mediapart published “documentary evidence” that Gaddafi was ready to stump up tens of millions of dollars to help Sarkozy win the French presidential race.

Mediapart claimed Saturday that the 2006 document was provided by “former senior [Libyan] officials, who are now in hiding.”  They further claim the document came “from the archives of the secret service,” and was signed by Gaddafi’s former intelligence chief and later foreign minister, Moussa Koussa.
