Bbc's False Evidence Scandal

| Thanks for watching. | |
| Buried deep on page A9, the newspaper admits the authenticity of the photos has come under scrutiny. | |
| The establishment media and the State Department pawned these photos off as evidence, despite the fact the authenticity of the photographs couldn't be independently verified. | |
| Freelance photographer Maxim Dondiuk, who worked for a Russian news magazine, told the New York Times he had taken the group photograph in Slavyansk and posted it on his Instagram account. | |
| He told the newspaper that nobody asked his permission to use the photograph. | |
| This isn't the first time the war machine media have churned out false evidence in an effort to gear the country up for war. | |
| Last year, the BBC appeared to use stunning fakery in an effort to launch a war with Syria. | |
| This report was first released on August 29, 2013, just days before an attack on Syria seemed inevitable. | |
| The BBC claims it just so happened to be filming at a small hospital when victims of a napalm-style attack poured into that very spot. | |
| Among the medics here was a British doctor, visiting for the charity Hand in Hand. | |
| I need a pause because it's just absolute chaos and carnage here. | |
| We've had a massive influx of what looks like serious burns. | |
| It seems like it must be some sort of, I'm not really sure, maybe napalm, something similar to that. | |
| Exactly one month later, Obama and crew were trying to pin the chemical weapons attack on Assad without success. | |
| So, BBC airs the exact same clip, this time artificially dubbing the doctor's voice to suit the establishment's need for the chemical weapons tagline. | |
| We've had a massive influx of what look like serious burns. | |
| It seems like it must be some sort of... | |
| In a subsequent BBC interview, Dr. Rola Halam complained about the UK Parliament's refusal to authorize a military strike on Syria. | |
| Interestingly, Halam's father is also on the Syrian National Council, the political body which represents opposition militants. | |
| And if this all seems familiar, well it should. | |
| A similar disinfo tactic was used to bolster support for the war with Iraq. | |
| They took the babies out of incubators. | |
| Took the incubators and left the children to die on the cold floor. | |
| That was Nurse Nayira, whose tearful testimony swung the pendulum in favor of war. | |
| After the vote was safely passed, Nayyirah, the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to Washington, admitted to making the whole story up. | |
| Nurse Nayyirah and those faulty claims of weapons of mass destruction weren't the only lies told to convince America a war with Iraq was necessary. | |
| CNN also did their part to play up the drama. | |
| CNN's Carl Rochelle is here with me, just came up. | |
| Carl, I know we can't be very specific given these restrictions, but within those parameters, what did you see? | |
| Well, what I saw, I didn't see anything hit. | |
| I looked very, almost straight above us. | |
| There is a vapor trail coming from my right to my left, and there's a cloud of something. | |

Furnish the Pictures, Furnish the War

|
| It looks like it might have been an explosion of cloud, uh, or what say you? | |
| Yeah. | |
| What do you see? | |
| What do you see? | |
| I don't know. | |
| I felt, I felt energy. | |
| It's a good one. | |
| It's a good one. | |
| You take it. | |
| Okay. | |
| Alright. | |
| Hehehe. | |
| Hehehe. | |
| Oh, I love this country so much. | |
| These false flag mass media war campaigns are so typical, in fact, there's even a movie about it. | |
| Okay, good. | |
| Put the village behind her. | |
| Give me some flames. | |
| Some sound of screaming? | |
| That's good, we can link that to the press. | |
| They can downlink it on Telstar 401, transporter 21. | |
| And this just in, a news break special report from the Albanian front. | |
| We've just received information that the young Albanian national fleeing in this video is attempting to escape terrorist reprisals in her village. | |
| Even before television was invented, mainstream media was still lined to go to war. | |
| In 1895, William Randolph Hearst of the New York Journal sent his employees to cover the Cuban revolt against Spain. | |
| Lacking anything newsworthy to report, Hearst told his employee, famed illustrator Frederick Remington, you furnish the pictures, and I'll furnish the war. | |
| The establishment media continues to serve as the propaganda arm of the war machine. | |
| It is their job to file dubious reports as part of a campaign to build public consensus for ongoing interventions from Iraq and Libya to Syria and eventually Ukraine. | |
