Here are some precious precisions about the new Foreign Affairs Minister Bernard Kouchner (born of a Jewish father and in favour of the intervention in Iraq - some "details" not to neglect)
Here's an article about a propaganda lie he carried out during the War in Yugoslavia, in order to twist the French population's opinion in favour of the bombings of Yugoslavia - a good example of the media and leaders manipulation :

The co-author of one of the biggest media lies of the nineties has
just confessed. A good example for the future because ways of
manipulations are always the same...
Flash-back. Summer 92, war in Bosnia. Bernard Kouchner and his
"doctors of the world" (Médecins du monde) broadcasted into the press
and on the walls in Paris an advertisement, outstanding and
expensive. The photograph showed "prisoners" of a Serbian camp in
Bosnia. Behind barbed wires, Kouchner sticking the picture of a
watchtower from Auschwitz. His text blamed Serbians for "mass
executions".
Was it right or wrong? Wrong, admits Kouchner twelve years later. His
latest book, the warriors for peace, recounts an interview with
Izetbegovic (the Muslim nationalist leader in authority at the time
of Sarajevo), in his deathbed:
- Kouchner: those places were awful, but they didn't exterminate
consistently. Did you know about that?
- Izetbegovic: Yes. The assertion was false. There were no
extermination camps even if those places were terrible. I thought
that my revelation would bring faster bombings.
This media lie did actually change the opinion towards the support
for bombings. All the Western press broadcasted it massively but the
latest rectification was not communicated. The public could actually
not be informed that they get rolled.
The half-confession of Kouchner and this media silence makes us
asking some important questions:
1. Did Kouchner know all about it previously?
Answer: Yes. Since 1993, a journalist from France 2 channel, Jacques
Merlino, revealed the deception in his book with an eloquent title
"All the truths are not good to say". He was interviewing the
director of Ruder Finn, US agent for public relations. The latter,
very proud to tell that his campaign on" extermination camps" was
just fake :
- "We got around three big Jewish organisations: B'nai B'rith,
American Jewish Committee et American Jewish Congress. And right
away, we managed to make the link between Serbians and Nazis
concerning the public opinion. The case was complex, nobody
understood what was going on in Yugoslavia, but bolt upright it was
not really difficult to formulate who was the nice and the good people.
- By lying, points out the journalist! Answer: We are professionals.
We are not paid to give moral lessons."
So, Kouchner knew since a long time and that's not nice to charge up
the entire blame on a dead person.
2. Did the media hide all the proofs of the deception?
Answer: Yes. A German journalist Thomas Deichmann showed since 1994
that the photograph about barbed wires was fake, and also the
prisoners were not locked.
I reality, it was taken from an ITN reporting where they declare to
be well-treated, but the journalist took away those declarations!
You can find the Kouchner poster, Deichmann comments, and our paper
about special effects in our book Liar's Poker. Dated from 1998. So,
we didn't have to wait today to adjust.
Nota Bene for the url : this site is up to now in French (we look for
help from translators), but books and film are also available in
English.

In a video-reporting "Under NATO bombings" (1999), we also showed the
pictures recorded by a local TV, where they were proving the cheating
of the ITN reporting.
3. Did Kouchner receive protection, even from "media critics"?
Answer: Yes. One example: Daniel Schneidermann( Arrêts sur images,
France 5 channel TV) contacted us about this paper, and he dropped us
from Kouchner in order to not annoy him.
No questions about the media lies on Kosovo and neither his
disastrous statements on this province were asked to Kouchner.
We are talking about media lies and not mistakes. His career plan
focusing the UN general secretary post, and he has to do whatever to
please USA.
4. Why did they have to tell a story "simple", but false?
In order to hide the responsibilities of big Western powers in this
conflict:
- Since 1979, the German CIA (the BND) was supporting extremists to
collapse Yugoslavia.
- In 1989, the IMF put neoliberal pressure to eradicate the auto
management and the workers rights, provoking the crisis and
nationalisms.
- In 1991, German gave weapons to the Croatian and Muslim extremists
before the war.
- From 1992 to 1995, the USA intentionally extended and prolonged the
conflict as certified by a special European reporter in Bosnia, Lord
Owen.
- Are there any advantages in those actions? Eradicate a social
system too much in the left side, and also control the strategic
Balkans and the oil roads.
5. Is it a matter to contradict all the crimes committed?
Not at all, but when our governments try to pull us into a war
propaganda "nice versus bad people", it is important to think about
their hidden interests. And their fake information. For example,
concerning prison camp in Bosnia, the UN counted six Croatians, two
Serbians and one Muslim. And they were rather gathering camp for
exchanges, not extermination camp. But, the Croatian and Muslim
nationalists as being our allies or rather "our" agents, Kouchner,
Bernard Henri Levy and the permanent media guests whitewashed them.
We would have to judge the war criminals. All the war criminals, in
all camps. But not by phoney courts created by a justice of winners
where the USA and the NATO are sitting above the law and straight out
outlaw since they are violating the UN bill without embarrassment.
6. Are there any more media lies "well-done" in this war?
Yes. Just one example. When NATO started bombing Yugoslavia, in 1999,
it claimed
its action after the "massacre of 40 civilians" by the Yugoslavian
army, in Racak, Kosovo village. But Belgrad was talking about a fight
between two armies, caused by the Albanian separatist forces. The UN
asked for a report to a medical examiner commission led by a Finnish
doctor, Mrs Ranta who confirmed what Belgrad asserted. The media lie
remains intact for the opinion.
Why? Because media lies of Kouchner, BHL and others, allowed to
divide the left and stopped it from opposing to the war in reality
unfair. The public opinion needs to be manipulated. And the next
time, it will start again.
