"Freedom Fighters" (al Qaeda etc.) are angels
Gaddafi's demise is a victory for Libyans
The "victory" is a defeat for the "Left"
Financial looting and petroleum resources were not stated reasons for this invasion.
Many lies are greasing the war in Ukraine as well.
Investigative journalist Robert Parry describes in "Ready for Nuclear War Over Ukraine?" that "No European government, since Adolph Hitler's Germany, has seen fit to dispatch Nazi storm troopers to wage a war on a domestic population, but the Kiev regime has, and has done so knowingly "."
International Financial Institutions (IFIs), fracking, and monopoly agri-business interests were not part of the official pretexts for establishing the Kiev regime.
Surely, if people were more aware of this, the West would have a harder time "selling" this war, and supplying the illegal Kiev regime.
Outrageous lies and deceptions are also facilitating the invasion of Syria. In "Terrorism With A Human Face: The History Of America's Death Squads" Dr. Michel Chossudovsky explains, "From the outset in March 2013, the US and its allies have supported the formation of death squads and the incursion of terrorist brigades in a carefully planned undertaking."
Further, he adds that "the formation of Death Squads in Syria builds upon the history and experience of US-sponsored terror brigades in Iraq, under the Pentagon's "counter-insurgency" program.
Looting of resources and geo-political reasons such as setting the stage for a war against Iran were not stated reasons for this invasion.
These government-sponsored lies set the stage for illegal invasions, the destruction and pillage of target countries, the mass slaughter of innocent civilians, and global destabilization --- all for the perceived benefit of the few, and the certain detriment of the many.
Virulent lies, perpetrated and embellished by Public Relations (PR) firms, and repeated incessantly by governing media, create Fear Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD), a common PR strategy, with a view to conditioning the public to previously-planned, illegal invasions abroad. And once the invasions start, the false messaging continues unabated.
Public Relations strategists call it "Perception Management", but it is more than that. Propagated lies, such as those listed above, derogate international principles and conventions.
Christopher Black explains in "NATO War Propaganda: A Danger To World Peace", that propaganda which incites aggressive war (i.e illegal invasions) was codified by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1966.
