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.

In 2021 we began to hear the first echoes of the Guggenheim Urdaibai project. The then General Manager Unai Rementeria told us that it would be done yes or yes. To reinforce his claims, he left 40 million euros “shielded” by the time the museums were built. There it is!... [+]

Epistemology, or theory of knowledge, is one of the main areas of philosophy, and throughout history there have been important debates about the limits and bases of our knowledge. Within this we find two powerful corridors that propose different ways of accessing knowledge: The... [+]
We learned this week that the Court of Getxo has closed the case of 4-year-old children from the Europa School. This leads us to ask: are the judicial, police, etc. authorities prepared to respond to the children’s requests? Are our children really protected when they are... [+]

The argument of a syllogism has three propositions, the last of which is necessarily deduced from the other two. It is with this deductive logic that I can analyze, for me, the long and traumatic socioecological conflict in Carpinteria that is taking place in Navarre.

I don't want my daughter disguising herself as a Gypsy in the caldereros. I don’t want Gypsy children at my daughter’s school to dress up as Gypsies in caldereros. Because being a gypsy is not a disguise. Because being a gypsy is not a party that takes place once a year, with... [+]
The road goes by steps, and I learned a little while ago that it seems to have already begun. But people also want to learn to fill that sentence with content. Alone we could achieve little, maybe even resignation as soon as we started. Gathering huge crowds can also complicate... [+]
