War of lies

Erick San Juan

HOW many people are aware that a world war has begun? At present, it is a war of propaganda, of lies and distraction, but this can change instantaneously with the first mistaken order, the first missile. (John Pilger)

A war that didn’t start in the South China Sea or any area in the Asia-Pacific region or in the Middle East not even in Europe or the Americas (North/South), physically but it is a war of lies and deception going on around the world through the internet and mass media, and in the process could escalate as a prelude to another World War. And this time much more destructive using mini nuclear bombs known as the B61 Model 12.

The possible destruction of a large population which started with a string of lies all woven to create a web of destructive deception, can be called weapon of mass deception. Just like what happened to Saddam Hussein and the Iraq war.

In the article of John Pilger, Start of a New World War, he writes – “All of them said that had journalists and broadcasters done their job and questioned the propaganda that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction; had the lies of George W. Bush and Tony Blair not been amplified and echoed by journalists, the 2003 invasion of Iraq might not have happened, and hundreds of thousands of men, women and children would be alive today.

The propaganda laying the ground for a war against Russia and/or China is no different in principle. To my knowledge, no journalist in the Western “mainstream” — a Dan Rather equivalent, say — asks why China is building airstrips in the South China Sea.

The answer ought to be glaringly obvious. The United States is encircling China with a network of bases, with ballistic missiles, battle groups, nuclear-armed bombers.

This lethal arc extends from Australia to the islands of the Pacific, the Marianas and the Marshalls and Guam, to the Philippines, Thailand, Okinawa, Korea and across Eurasia to Afghanistan and India. America has hung a noose around the neck of China. This is not news. Silence by media; war by media.

In 2015, in high secrecy, the U.S. and Australia staged the biggest single air-sea military exercise in recent history, known as Talisman Sabre. Its aim was to rehearse an Air-Sea Battle Plan, blocking sea lanes, such as the Straits of Malacca and the Lombok Straits, that cut off China’s access to oil, gas and other vital raw materials from the Middle East and Africa.”

With the ongoing war of lies and at the same time military exercises between and among nations, any miscalculated move is suspect for something else – like a false flag operation that can be used as a pretext to start a regional conflict in the process.

Through the use of communications technology via the worldwide web, a lie can spread like a forest fire and no one will ever know who started it all and in the end the feared first strike of the lethal nuclear missile is already launched and another nightmare of dead humans will envelope vast wasted lands contaminated with radiation for generations. What about the other lethal war plans like EMP-electromagnetic pulse, bio-terrorism, weather engineering, etc. it seems that every state power with MIC-military industrial complex are all prepared for a ‘first strike’ policy.

One of my advocacies to stop truth decay will somehow help my colleagues in the tri-media and avert this war of lies and MAD-mutually assured destruction ASAP!
