UK PRESS RELAUNCHES ‘WMD’ SCAM: Weapons fired from Russia could cause massive destruction in the UK, the Times of London warned today. The newspaper hides a crucial aspect of this news report from its readership. The thinktank it quoted is funded by the world’s biggest weapons companies: BAE Systems, Boeing, Leonardo UK, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and Thales. The UK Department of Defence also provides funds. 英國媒體重提「大規模殺傷性武器」騙局：倫敦時報今天警告說，從俄羅斯發射的武器可能會對英國造成大規模破壞。該報向讀者隱瞞了該新聞報導的一個重要面向。該文引用的智庫由世界上最大的武器公司資助：BAE 系統公司、波音公司、萊昂納多英國公司、洛克希德馬丁公司、諾斯羅普格魯曼公司、雷神公司和泰雷茲公司。英國國防部也提供資金.

“Britain is at its highest risk of missile attack since the end of the Cold War,” the paper said, quoting the Council of Geostrategy, a thinktank, mentioning “an acute risk to the British mainland”.

It adds that “Russia, China and Iran are all investing in hypersonic and ballistic missile technology,” and quotes: “As ranges increase, the British Isles will increasingly come under potential threat.”

ECHOES OF 2002
The report, which follows a similar one in the Guardian, is a curious echo of the press’s 2002 notoriously false “weapons of mass destruction” reports that predated the 2003 misbegotten invasion of Iraq, causing the violent deaths of at least 100,000 people.

No respected geopolitical specialist expects Russia to invade Britain now or in the near future.

FOOLING THE PEOPLE
The British people must be fooled into believing an attack by Moscow is imminent, to justify the pending transfer of large amounts of money from the public purse to arms firms and the military.

This is all part of a long-term strategy by US allies to use wealth and weapons to maintain western global supremacy.

In 1948, Washington policy planner George Kennan wrote an influential document, PPS/23 Top Secret, which said the rich west had an unfairly large share of the world’s wealth, while Asia had too little.

Thus, foreign policy planning must aim to “maintain this position of disparity”.
