Robert Perry: American media hypocrisy and lies in all matters of geopolitics

Роберт Перри: Американские СМИ - лицемерие и ложь по всем вопросам геополитики

A few decades of a major American media deceive your readers by providing them with false or misleading points of view on almost all important issues on a global scale. They still continue to drag the nation into a destructive and unnecessary conflict. About atomism editor of the American independent investigations portal Consortiumnews Robert Perry (Robert Parry).

As an example, Perry cites the widespread lies surrounding the invasion of Iraq in 2003. However, despite the disastrous Iraq war, almost nothing has changed: the neo-conservatives and their liberal supporters of intervention continues to fabricate history, to demand regime change and to dismiss the recommendations for the peaceful resolution of conflicts.

The US authorities, writes Robert Perry, stand for peace, living by the rules when it suits them. However, they are quietly violate international law when they decide that the war in humanitarian interests ahead of the UN Charter. This, says Perry, is pretty easy to do if the American press is to demonize the leader of another country. So, the Bush administration and big media to justify the invasion of Iraq, in particular, accusing Saddam Hussein in violation of human rights. Blatant illegality of the invasion left unattended. Similarly, the Obama administration and the media “failed rational basis” under the intervention in Libya (2011), stating that Muammar Gaddafi is planning mass murder of civilians.

However, the same media, the author notes, “avert their eyes” or make up excuses when killings of civilians engaged allies like Israel or Saudi Arabia. In addition, the United States is very “selective” approach to the definition of terrorism. For example, Israel, Saudi Arabia and other U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf are helping terrorist groups in the fight against the mainly secular government of Syria, and the American media demonize Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Thus, trying to avoid like the Iraq quagmire, Obama faces tough criticism of the neo-conservatives of Washington for not taking more effort for regime change in Syria, although he gave the nod to supply modern weapons to the so-called “moderate” opposition.

Perry notes that any help from Russia to Pro-Russian militias fighting with the Ukrainian troops, which includes neo-Nazis, are considered invalid. International law must be complied with by punishing Russia. The American media is one-sided lighted a coup in Ukraine in 2014, in which the post was removed President Viktor Yanukovych, who is also demonized in the press. The Western media did not see nothing wrong in anti-terrorist operation directed against the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine, nor the burning alive of “neo-Nazi storm troopers” Russian in Odessa, writes Robert parry. All made to blame Russia, despite the fact that there is no evidence thatVladimir Putin was engaged in destabilization of the political situation in Ukraine before the coup. On the contrary, there was evidence that the United States sought to change the regime there.

The American media think is the uncontested right of the U.S. government to interfere in the internal Affairs of other countries around the world, but the same media is furious when someone tries to resist the orders of Washington or behave in the same manner as he concludes the Robert Perry. Thus, when Russia intervened to prevent the killings in the East of Ukraine and give Crimea to Express their will, the authorities and the media, the United States accused it of violating international law. Even 96% of votes for joining Russia should be swept away to the side out of respect for Ukraine’s right to sovereignty. Protection Putin of the Russian population from neo-Nazis was considered an aggression that gave rise to anti-Russian sanctions, and the American neo-conservatives began to dream about the destabilization of Russia and regime change in Moscow. In General, says Perry, the conflict in Ukraine is one of the worst massacres in Europe since the end of world war II, however, the neocons continue to urge the U.S. government to arm the Ukrainian military.

As an example of hypocrisy by the mainstream media, Perry leads the column of New York Times journalist Nicholas D. Kristof, who at the beginning of the crisis, called on Kiev to supply more weapons to soldiers were able to kill their neighbors in the East, using the metaphor of Christophe, “to go on a bear hunt”. However, in his recent column about Syria Christoph holds a different position: he demands that the American army have created a no-fly zone and security zone to the Syrian army and the air force could not fight with the rebels.

Thus, the sovereignty in Ukraine means one of the country’s borders should be inviolable, and Pro-American regime has the right to kill dissidents, it’s all the same, that hunting of animals. Sovereignty in Syria — is another matter. Here it is possible to urge the U.S. government to intervene militarily to the Syrian government failed to restore control over its territory. The need for regime change in Syria outweighs everything else, sums up Robert Perry.

The author also emphasizes the “selectivity” of the wrath of Christophe and asks the question: how Christoph will last in office and well-paid author of the New York Times, if you will call for establishing a no-fly zone in Israel or for military intervention against Saudi Arabia?

The American media also often “forget” that Barack Obama gave the authorization for training and arming so-called “moderate” Syrian opposition, many of whom came under the command of al-Nusra Front” (jabhat al-Nusra is a terrorist group banned in Russia — approx.Colossal ), and the latest American weapons fell into the hands of the jihadists, like Robert Perry.

“In other words, behind all of this electoral anger regarding morality and international law we see only the biased coverage of the events,” says the author. However, the lack of objectivity in the coverage of U.S. foreign policy — a trait inherent in American journalism. This means that the neo-cons that determine a country’s foreign policy will continue to push the world to bigger and bigger disasters, including the plan to destabilize nuclear powers of Russia, and the us media — to deprive its readers objective information, concludes Robert Perry.
