The West has declared war on fake news. So far, as if media lies had not existed, NATO states, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and mainstream mass-media speak of post-truth about fake news they have created and/or disseminated. There are many examples of this, but perhaps the most famous is the assembly that served to justify the First Iraq War. A girl told the United States Congress how Iraqi soldiers entered a hospital in Kuwait and took the children out of incubators. Amnesty International shamelessly put the death toll: 312 children. Members of Congress and American public opinion were shocked. The event came to the United Nations Organization, which authorized the assault on Iraq, where it was arrested.
To this day, it has already been shown that everything was an assembly to drive military intervention in the United States. Iraqi soldiers did not rob an incubator; there were no bodies of children and the testimony was false. The girl was the daughter of the American ambassador to Kuwait. Kuwait paid $10.7 million to the largest PR company in the United States.
To promote a military intervention, a crisis is first mounted or fed to give all the media prominence; then governments, NGOs and the media demonizes the enemy's leader doing it just like Hitler; thirdly, demonization extends to all enemies; and finally, cruelty is denounced.

Do you remember that girl from Aleppo? After I tweeted without mistakes in English, what did I barely speak English? What about the young man bombarded by Aleppo? The father explained that his son was employed for a propaganda operation by the Al Nusra Front (Al Qaeda), NATO allies in Afghanistan. The list of manipulations and lies used in the Syrian imperialist intervention is long, but just as the incubators in Kuwait did their job at a given time. Like those in Libya, five years later the manipulations were approved by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the UK House of Commons.
Why worry now about fake news? Because the West sees its dominant communicative vision and threatens the production of lies, especially because there is more chance of truth coming to light on the net. That is why social media, the media, NGOs, the European Union and NATO have long launched the witch hunt against those who denounce lies on the net. (Parliament agreed to the request for an early vote)
One of the most ridiculous fake news has been the alleged Russian intervention in the US presidential elections. As Edward Snowden denounced and demonstrated in a country that spies all over the world. The media have been shaking the Russian spectrum for months without objective evidence and spreading fake news. The tragedy has also had its impact on our country, as it was announced, without evidence, that the Russians were going to participate in the elections in the Netherlands or France. Meanwhile, when there is evidence, the media is looking the other way. Hacked donors have shown traps against Bernie Sanders, thus manipulating the United States electoral process. Wikileaks has placed three orders of spy on the net for the 2012 French elections. It's nothing new, as you said in the recording you just captured with a hidden camera from a CNN producer, the United States is always intervening in the elections around the world. More interesting are the words of the producer on the alleged Russian intervention, which says directly that there is no evidence and that if it had already been filtered.
