Harrowing report of massacre in Afghanistan by US bombers


On May 4 the US bombed the village of Granai in Farah province, Afghanistan, killing 140 civilians according to the Afghanistan government, including approximately 90 children.

It was the single largest loss of life caused by US/NATO forces since the 2001 invasion.

President Hamid Karzai denounced the air strikes as "unjustifiable and unacceptable," hundreds of people demonstrated in Kabul and in Farah city there was a riot outside the governor's office and traders closed their shops in protest.

The US military initially claimed the civilians had been killed by grenades hurled by Taliban fighters. These assertions were shown to be false by eyewitness accounts and were quickly withdrawn.

Al Qaeda doesn't exist admits the BBC but it keeps repeating the Big Lie

The following video is a clip from a BBC documentary in which the existence of an organisation called Al Qaeda is proven to be false. The documentary was made years ago and has been shown on the BBC several times. But its newscasters keep repeating the Big Lie about Al Qaeda.

How could this be? Simple. It is the implementation of the Goebbels Big Lie technique, ie. if you keep repeating a Big Lie enough times people will just accept it. A few might question the Big Lie and even refute it. But the vast majority will simply accept it unquestioningly.

The entire fake 'War on Terror', including the official conspiracy theory about 911, is based upon the Big Lie.

"Could the most audacious terrorist attack in history be a “sophisticated masterpiece of demolition”?" asks Russia Today. Another excellent interview by Russia Today which exposes the official 911 conspiracy. What you won't hear on the western MSM:

GEOPOLITICS: Iran/Russia - a deadly embrace

Forget the 'War on Terror' and the rest of the MSM's hype and propaganda. If you want to understand what's going on in the world, Geopolitics is the name of the game. It's an age-old game about the control of wealth and resources and it still goes on.

Pepe Escobar is one of today's more interesting and prolific analysts of Geopolitics. Another is F. William Engdahl. In the UK, Peter Fainton has written some useful stuff on his blog on Geopolitics and a general search on Geopolitics will throw up some interesting material.

To understand US foreign policy a must read is Zbigniew Brzezinski's The Grand Chess board which is available in PDF form. There is a tentative list of reference sources on Geopolitics in Afghanistan (Pipelineistan) on the Medialens Forum.

The following video is Part One of two in a series by Pepe Escobar concerning the geopolitics of Russian-Iranian relations in the light of a sinking Dollar and Anglo-American Empire
