Israeli media reporting that aid convoys have made it to Homs, Syria. Those convoys are overtly International Red Cross, but covertly Western (U.S./European) military convoys.
The same thing happened in Libya.
Syria has the Red Crescent, the Islamic affiliation of the Red Cross, so why do Western powers insist on using the Red Cross to truck in so called humanitarian aid?
The Red Cross actually had aircover provided by the USAF and Turkish air force. In northern Syria the Red Cross, with the help of Western military forces, has already been instrumental in providing “lines of communications” for so called rebel forces.
Lines of communications is military lingo for not only communications, but supplies like food, fuel, weapons and ammo.
This is not the first time the Red Cross, or any humanitarian organization, has been used to propagate propaganda and lies.
At the beginning of World War One, the British created a crisis in Belgium. They blockaded all supplies to Belgium, after the Germans took the country over. Today we would call it sanctions.
The British initially used officials from the International Red Cross (a Swiss organization) and Salvation Army (a British organization) to spread rumors of Belgians starving at the hands of Germans. Soon the British and United States created a new Committee for Relief in Belgium (CRB) organization. In the Bryce Report (1914) they even said Germans were wantonly raping and killing civilians. Sound familiar?
After the war it was proven that nothing on the level described by the British ever took place in Belgium. In fact, James Bryce himself, who’s name was used in the Bryce Report, said the Report was full of lies!
It was also shown that the British and Americans actually blockaded their own CRB aid ships. The CRB aid was under total control by the U.S. Ambassador to Belgium, it’s said he controlled the food aid to point of determining the portions on each persons’ plate!
More questions: If the Germans were so evil, why did they let U.S. CRB officials into the country? Why did the Germans allow James Bryce to investigate the initial claims made by the Red Cross and Salvation Army? If the Germans were authoritarian and controlling, then how could more than “2.5 million” publications about such atrocities be published, by just one publisher (Wellington House), in less than one year?
James Bryce (a Britisher), is credited by the British government with providing the most damning “evidence”, but he ended up actually questioning the “evidence”. When he went to Belgium to gather evidence for the Report he found nothing indicating such claims of crimes against humanity. He could not even find the locations where so called mass rapes and killings took place. Out of the 350 statements in the Report, not a single one was confirmed!
“For all who know Viscount Bryce, and no European is better known in this country, his name attached to the fatal document is as final as that of the highest court.”-New York Tribune
The British government published the Bryce Report, over the objections of James Bryce. The British and U.S. media had a field day with the Report, yet refused to publish James Bryce’s own objections.
One U.S. economics of history professor, George B. McClellan, even wrote an article for the New York Times Sunday Magazine (1915), which cast doubt on the Bryce Report. He said there was “less evidence of war” in Belgium than in France. He also said “the Germans are doing their best to conciliate the Belgians.” McClellan even said his own experience was that Belgians were happier under German rule, than under pro-British rule.
After the war, less than a dozen cases came to trial, and none of them came close to the level of atrocities claimed in the Bryce Report. In several cases, the crimes that made it to court actually took place after the Bryce Report was issued!
Yet, even today most British and U.S. versions of the Rape of Belgium continue to support the proven lies of the Bryce Report!
The Spanish American War (1898) could be considered the first intentional, and organized use of the media to create false reports in order to build public support for war. World War One (1914-1918) can be considered the first intentional, and organized use of humanitarian organizations to build false evidence to justify war.
Now, a hundred years later both are still being used by the Western powers to justify their evil beastly conquest of the World.
In Libya the Western media reported all kinds of unsubstantiated crimes against Libyan people, but never reported on the fact that the so called peaceful protestors were attacking Russian and Chinese oil workers in eastern Libya. 30,000 Chinese oil workers had to be evacuated! Russian oil workers were still being threatened with execution after the “revolution” was over!
In Syria it’s deja vu. The Western media is reporting unsubstantiated claims. None of the “sources” used by Western officials can be proven. Even the Arab League (AL) observers turned out to be a joke.
Most Western media reported that AL observers quit early because things were so bad in Syria, they were afraid for their own lives. But wouldn’t that be the ultimate proof of their claims, that their own observers fall victim to the so called government sponsored violence?
I read other reports, some amazingly coming from Western journalists, that said some of the AL observers quit not because of what was going on in Syria, but because it became obvious that the AL observer mission was not an unbiased mission, but had an ulterior motive!
“The Arab League now has become simply a tool of the West, because the most powerful countries in there are very much under the Western petrodollar influence.”-Tony Gosling, investigative journalist
“We had the Arab League report which was sort of buried and the Arab League report did blame both sides for the violence. Yet, the Arab League itself is saying that they will support the opposition with all possible forms of assistance. And so, on one hand their trying to be honest brokers, and yet on the other hand they’re not, and the facts are the opposite.”-Neil Clark, contributor to the Guardian
Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.
