Five pro-war deceptions exposed by Wikileaks.
Going over five of the biggest pro war deceptions exposed by Wikileaks.
Jullian Assange is currently being prosecuted for his reporting on United States war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is not just an attack on Assange but an attack on a free press altogether. A big part of this production is the state department wanting to discourage journalism that exposes the deceptions and lies that lead to war. In this article, I will go over five pro-war deceptions that were exposed by WikiLeaks.
Afghanistan deception
In 2010 Wikileaks exposed a classified C.I.A. memo that proved they were doing a PR campaign to drum up support for the war in Afghanistan in Germany and France. The document proved the C.I.A. exploited the plight of Women in Afghanistan and refugees to get people in France to support the war under humanitarian grounds. In Germany, the PR campaign used fear-mongering using the possibility of more drugs, terrorism, and refugees as a consequence of not going into Afghanistan. This document proved that the C.I.A. uses PR campaigns exploiting both human rights and fear of terrorism to manufacture consent for war.
CIA report into shoring up Afghan war support in Western Europe [2010] #Afghanistan Link: wikileaks.org/wiki/CIA_repor…Clinton knew about Libya was about Oil
Through leaked emails between Hillary Clinton and one of her advisors, Wikileaks revealed that she knew the NATO regime-change operation in Lybia which she strongly supported was based on Oil. The leaked email exchange says: “The initial flight included executives from the French oil company TOTAL, the large construction firm VINCI and the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company”. This proves that Clinton knew the intervention was on behalf of the French oil companies yet strongly supported it in anyway. This proves her concern was never over “human rights” in Libya but because she wanted American access to Lybia’s oil.
Lybia should “pay us back” with Oil
Leaked emails from pro-Clinton think tank Centre for American Progress chief Neera Tanden proved she advocated stealing Lybias oil after the NATO regime-change operation that turned the country into a failed state. She was exposed saying “we have a giant deficit, they have a lot of oil” “having oil-rich countries partially pay us back doesn’t seem crazy to me”.
“Al-Qaeda is on our side in Syria”
This story proved that Jake Sullivan, Biden’s current national security advisor knew the United States was allying with and arming al-Queda in Syria. In an email to then secretary of state Hillary Clinton, he said “AQ is on our side in Syria”.
Trump Bombed Syria on false grounds
In April of 2018, Donald Trump bombed Syria over an alleged chemical attack in the town of Douma. Later a report from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical weapons backed up the United States claim that this was a chlorine attack done by the Syrian government. But Wikileaks later released a censored report from the OPCW inspectors that proved not only did they not find evidence of a chemical attack, they actually found evidence of staging such as the fact that the cylinder seemed to be planted and the fact that symptoms in the victims did not match up with those of a chlorine attack.
