CHARLIE ROSE & AL ASSAD

LIES, LIES, LIES...

Keep your eyes open for the upcoming BBC2 interview with the man who claims to have fabricated much of the information leading to the invasion of Iraq. This might be surprising to some, but to regular readers of Bread & Circuses it shouldn't. Is he coming clean, or is he helping other appear less culpable? Caveat lector.

THE AFGHANISTAN DECEPTION

“Our current military leadership is so distorting the information it releases that the deterioration of the situation and the failing nature of our efforts is shielded from the American public (and Congress), and replaced instead with explicit statements that all is going according to plan. Not only is this type of behavior not representative of American values, it also works against our own interests.
(...)
For most people, it is quite simply irreconcilable with what we think we know, to seriously consider any senior military leader would intentionally tell the American public something that was untrue. In all probability our leaders do not consider what they are saying to be "lying" per se, but an effective part of "Information Operations (IO)" designed to protect the support of the American people for our troops in contact."

- Lt. Col. Daniel Davis

FALSE-FLAGGING IRAN?

MEDIA MANIPULATION

“As the US and Iranian governments escalate tensions in the already volatile Straits of Hormuz, and China and Russia begin openly questioning Washington's interference in their internal politics, the world remains on a knife-edge of military tension. Far from being a dispassionate observer of these developments, however, the media has in fact been central to increasing those tensions and preparing the public to expect a military confrontation. "

DRUGS, BANKS AND WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER

Image by Renjith Krishnan

“Mexico ’s descent into this inferno has been engineered by the leading US financial and political institutions, each supporting ‘one side or the other’ in the bloody “total war” which spares no one, no place and no moment in time. While the Pentagon arms the Mexican government and the US Drug Enforcement Agency enforces the “military solution”, the biggest US banks receive, launder and transfer hundreds of billions of dollars to the drug lords’ accounts, who then buy modern arms, pay private armies of assassins and corrupt untold numbers of political and law enforcement officials on both sides of the border."

HAARP WEATHER WARS

HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project) is run jointly by the US Air Force and Navy, in conjunction with the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. Similar experiments are also being conducted in Norway, probably in the Antarctic, as well as in the former Soviet Union.(22) HAARP is a research project using a ground based apparatus, an array of antennae each powered by its own transmitter, to heat up portions of ionosphere with powerful radio beams.(23) The energy generated heats up parts of the ionosphere; this results in holes in the ionosphere and produces artificial 'lenses'.

Can we manipulate the weather for military purposes? For years, the independent media have been mentioning the HAARP technology and speculating about its possible applications. Its existence has been disputed, but as always the good info is out there somewhere. Here's a 1999 EU report talking about the sinister aspects of weather manipulation.
