British Propaganda Aims at Triggering Syrian Genocide

British Propaganda Aims at Triggering Syrian Genocide

Channel 4 makes Goebbels proud with conveniently timed propaganda piece.
by Tony Cartalucci

December 18, 2011 - With the UN's recent "human rights" report falling flat, for lack of evidence and being compiled by Karen Koning AbuZayd, a director of the US Washington-based corporate think-tank, Middle East Policy Council, that includes Exxon men, CIA agents, US military and government representatives, and even the president of the US-Qatar Business Council, the corporate-media has stepped in to give faces and screams to the alleged victims of Wall Street and London's premeditated implosion of Syrian society.

The UN's human rights chief, Navi Pillay had been having difficulties peddling the recycled lies used just months ago to commence NATO and UN-sanctioned genocide in Libya, in what is now verified, even confessed fabrications produced by the Libyan opposition and filtered through corporate foundation-funded Human Rights Watch, the International Criminal Court, and the UN. Additionally, Syria itself had brushed off attempts by the Wall Street and London compromised Arab League and their numerous, feckless attempts to impose ultimatums clearly crafted in Washington and given an "Arab" face.

It is now, just as both efforts have ground to a halt and the Arab League prepares to bring their ultimatums and demands to the UN that Channel 4 in England has released "shocking images of violence and child abuse that proves Syrian torture policy," reports the Daily Mail. The Daily Mail claims they are the most graphic images ever shown on British television, and surely such an exception has been made because Wall Street and London's efforts to justify NATO intervention in Syria have stalled. Words such as "believed to be," "allegedly," and "strong evidence that" litter the Daily Mail's article and cast serious doubt on claims that Channel 4's objectivity-devoid presentation featuring the overtly biased title "Syria's Torture Machine" provides "‘irrefutable prima facie’ evidence that President Bashar al-Assad’s regime is torturing its citizens."

Then again, "irrefutable prima facie" is what Wall Street and London have depended on to sell one genocidal military conquest after another, from Afghanistan to Iraq, from Libya to the gates of Damascus. In each case, the evidence upon closer examination, revealed the magnitude to which the truth had been stretched, abused, or all together fabricated. Already snipers have been uncovered killing both protesters and Syrian security forces in single confrontations - illustrating a malice element clearly seeking to prolong and expand the violence, conveniently giving the West an opportunity for a repeat performance of their military conquest of Libya.

To the trained eye, "Syria's Torture Machine" salutes the crass, hamfisted propaganda films of yesteryear that instilled the baseless anger, outrage, and emotions throughout the masses that made the horrors of the World Wars possible. Channel 4 hopes to recapture the success of these vintage films, preying on the ignorance of what it hopes is an impressionable audience, as well as join the ranks of modern day war propaganda like the corporate-fascist Neo-Conservative produced "Iranium." No mention will most likely be made that Syria's opposition is entirely funded, supported, even armed, and harbored by NATO members, with the Syrian opposition literally based in London where Channel 4 is also conveniently headquartered.

The timing of Channel 4's "presentation" and the unprecedented exceptions made to air its violent content publicly, illustrates an eagerness, almost desperation behind the West's designs toward Syria. Indeed, just as it was with Libya, NATO intervention, the subsequent genocide, and the rise to power of a suitable stooge bent to the West's agenda will be achieved at any cost. Stretching the credibility of an already discredited corporate-media is a risk the global elite can't risk not taking.

One must ask themselves, however, how NATO, led by the US who has legalized, normalized, even standardized torture and indefinite detention, stands on any moral ground to use the rhetoric provided by propagandists in London as justification for further meddling in Syria. If Channel 4's one-sided, clearly biased "presentation" is casus belli for NATO bombers to level Damascus, perhaps they should visit Washington D.C. or Langley, Virginia on the way.
