As a follow up to Redbean's article "Most Deadly Fake News Come From the State" I would like to add further that the most deadly international fake news come from US and its western European allies . They dessiminate their fake news and deadly propaganda via the mass media like CNN, Fox News, BBC, Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, the Economist and spill all over the world's other mass medias and newspapers.
Accusing China of being aggressive and expansionist is fake news.
US and its western European allies and Japan like to paddle falsehoods about China. They accused China falsely of being an expansionist power trying to claim the island territories in the South China Sea and the East China Sea. The South China Sea islands, the Paracels, the Spratlys, the Scaraborough islands, the Mischief Reeves and other islands are inherently and historically Chinese territories. They were taken by the Japanese during the Second World War. After the Second World War the Paracels, the Spratly islands and the Diao Yu Tao in the East China Sea were lawfully returned to China by the United Nations at the San Francisco Treaty solemnly signed by US. England, France Russia, China and Japan itself. China doesn't need to claim these island territories because they are her sovereign territories from the very beginning and since time immemorial. To accuse China of being an expansionist in her own lands is just gross mischiefs by US, the West and Japan to create misunderstanding, choas, dissension, destabilities and may be war among the countries bordering the South China Sea to suit their insidious agenda.
It is fake news to claim that Taiwan is an independent country
US and its allies like to falsely claim that Taiwan is an independent country. Taiwan is not an independent country. It is a breakaway province from China. When the KMT - Kuo Mintang party under Chiang Kai Shek lost the Chinese Civil War against Chairman Mao's Peoples' Republic of China he fled to Taiwan. US then interfered in the Chinese civil war by stationing its Seventh Fleet in the Taiwan Straight to prevent the Chinese Liberation Army from crossing the Straight to take Taiwan. Technically America is still interfering in the yet unfinished Chinese civil war. USA has been the stumbling block to eventual Chinese unification by the Chinese in both mainland China and Taiwan. Though the whole world including USA itself have recognized Taiwan as an inherent part of China but USA is still stubborndly and illegally and illicitly supplying arms to Chinese traitors ruling Taiwan under USA protection. USA evil motive is to instigate the Taiwan Chinese to declare independence knowing it is a red line that China would not allow. US is trying to use Taiwan as its unsinkable aircraft carrier in its future conflict with China.
Claiming Diao Yudao is Japanese islands is fake news.
Japan under US support claims Diau Yudao or Senkaku islands as the Japanese called it. After the Second World War Diau Yudao was legally returned to China. But after Chiang Kai Shek's KMT defeat in the Chinese civil war USA mischievously placed the islands through the United Nations under USA trusteeship administration. USA refused to hand over the Diau Yudao to communist China but wickedly placed it under Japanese administration in 1976. USA intention is to make use of Diau Yudao as a bone of contention between Japan and China to sow the seeds for their future potential conflicts.
USA and its western European allies England and France paddle a lot of fake news regarding president Assad and Syria.
They accused Assad of using chemical weapons in Douma on 7th April,2018. Yet they refused to let Inspectors from OPCW - Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to inspect and verify the accusation before they started to bomb the site of the attack.
Assad has no need to use gas or chemical weapons against US supported rebels and ISIS for he is already winning the war and the rebels in Douma have almost surrendered.
The alleged chemical assault if it took place at all was clearly the work of US supported aysh-al-Islam , the jihadist group in control of Douma at the time of Assad alleged chemical attack. USA in using its proxy to stage the alleged chemical attack was part of its propaganda campaign to discredit the Assad government.
Accusing Assad of as a "Gas killing Animal " smacks of moral hypocrisy when Trump and USA just supported and funded Saudi Arabia by equipping Saudi Arabia with heavy weaponery of bombs, missiles and bombers that killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of Yemeni civilians and created one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes in the last few decades. Also USA has never stopped the use of gas and chemical weapons to suit its killing agenda as seen in its illegal wars in Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. If Trump and USA really care for the fate of the Syrian people he should take in the hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees and not ban their entry to US.
Also why should Assad be stupid to use gas or chemical attack at the time when Trump just openly announced he would withdraw US forces from Syria because ISIS has been defeated. It has not been proven that Assad or his military ordered the chemical attack that Trump seized the opportunity as a pretext for launching his attack. The bombing of Syria must be seen in the light of Trump trying to divert attention from his domestic political problems and James Comey open accusation that he was grossly incompetent and unethical in his mafia style of dictatorship.
Trump was possibly challenged and goaded by anti Russia Republican and Democrat hot heads and warhawks to take some sort of actions after he had openly threatened to bomb Syrian and Russian bases to show that he was not a weakling in facing against a powerful nuclear armed Russia. This was an attack on his fragile ego in which the peace, security and survival of mankind in the world must not be held hostage.
Sadly and ironically the silly people and politicians of many third world countries seem to be easily bought by American fake news, propaganda, missinformation, disinformation , outright lies and balonies .
The world can only be safer if the people can wake up to the evils of America and condemn in unison American atrocities and illicit wars everywhere.

Here is a very entertaining funny link. There are still some very good people in USA, not afraid to speak up.

Must go to YouTube to watch all the true stories about the evil deefs of the US government.
ReplyDeleteIS OPERATION COLDSTORE CARRIED OUT ON SECURITY GROUNDS OR FOR POLITICAL REASONS?
ReplyDelete"The reasons I say it is political and not security are:
(1) if it was security, it should be nipped in the bud. The Operation was scheduled to be held in December 1962. But it was postponed until February 1963 when the Brunei rebellion gave them the pretext to arrest. Lee Kuan Yew said this opportunity afforded by the Brunei rebellion is “heaven sent.” No security operation can wait for “heaven sent” opportunities.
(2) The Barisan Sosialis had given moral support to the Brunei rebellion as we always did for all anti-colonial movements around the world. The media claimed that we were sending military equipment to Brunei which is of course a fake news for we had no military hardware to send to anybody. Even the date for Operation Coldstore was chosen by Lee Kuan Yew to fall on the 15th night of the Chinese New Year (Chap Goh Mei) – the reason being that there would be less chances of protests by people busy with the lunar new year celebration.
(3) After Lee Kuan Yew left the Internal Security Council meeting in Kuala Lumpur on 2 February and upon arriving at Paya Lebar Airport, he denied responsibility for the Operation Coldstore arrests and said that he preferred an open confrontation with us to win the hearts and minds of the people. The London Economist taunted him by quoting Lady MacBeth, “Screw your courage to the sticking place.” Lee Kuan Yew was trying to evade responsibility for the arrest. In doing so, he let the cat out of the bag. The operation could not have been for security reason.
(4) However, for Lee Kuan Yew, Operation Coldstore must not be seen for what it is – an operation to lock up his political opponents in Singapore. Hence he tried to mask Operation Coldstore as a Pan Malayan operation against the left in Peninsula Malaya as well, not just in Singapore. Towards this masquerade, he insisted:
(1) that Internal Security Council meetings (made up of the British, Peninsula Malaya and Singapore) should be held in Kuala Lumpur and he obtained consent on that;
(2) he persuaded Dr Ismail, the Malayan representative to the Internal Security Council, to include Ahmad Boestamam, Lim Kean Siew and other Malayan left- wing persons in the list of persons to be arrested in Operation Coldstore.
But the Tunku would have none of this. He would not arrest Ahmad Boestamam and Lim Kean Siew, who were both Members of Parliament just to please Lee Kuan Yew when no justification for such presented itself. Due to this disagreement between the Tunku and Lee Kuan Yew, Operation Coldstore which was scheduled for December 1962 had to be aborted. So much for the pretext of security grounds.
We must learn from history and not myths, history that is grounded in the events and realities of the time. And that is fundamental according to President Sukarno of Indonesia. Otherwise as pointed out by Sukarno:
“If you do not know your history you would be like monyets (monkeys) amok and running in the dark”."
History must not only be written by the villians or victors. History must also be heard life from the mouths of the victims and the accounts of the witnesses of those historical events.

There is not much ordinary people of ordinary countries can do. Much of what their leaders do does not necessarily mean it is agreeable to it's citizens. And as always, politicians are elected by it's citizens, so agreeable or not, it is their choice.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, the choice is just distorted by what is promised and in the end the bigger evil still wins. In the end changing leaders results in having little to do with global issues, but more with local issues.
Even when small countries elect leaders who are against the conduct of US/Western countries, what is it that they can do? Like Duterte, there is little difference he can make to influence the US or its allies. Unless, like Kim, he dared to play the game that no one else would have the guts to take part in. And of course, he had the support of Russia and China, besides having the nuclear deterrent, small in size though it may be to win, but enough to do substantial damage if provoked.
It is perhaps too little too late to expect the US and its Western allies to change their arrogant stance. Not even Russia or China can do that. Until the human race ends with a nuclear war or machines take over, nothing much will change and we just have to live with that the best way we can before humans perish altogether.
