"Wars Come About As a Result of Lies." Selected Radio Shows

“When we understand that wars come about as a result of lies peddled to the British public and the American public and the publics all over Europe and other countries then who are the war criminals? It is not just leaders, it is not just soldiers, it is journalists; journalists are war criminals. And while one might think that that should lead us to a state of despair, that the reality that is constructed around us is constructed by liars, is constructed by people who are close to those that they are meant to be policing, it should lead us also to an optimistic understanding because if wars can be started by lies, truth can be started, peace can be started by truth.”

As Peter Phillips reminded listeners ina recent interview, we live in a world where a relatively small portion of the global population, satisfies their ambitions and appetites and maintains control at the expense of the vast majority. That minority of the opulent secure their grip on power not only through dominating the means of production, but also the propaganda and public relations apparatus relied affecting communities and whole countries.

The Centre for Research on Globalization, and theGlobal Research News Hour radio program have striven for years to provide an independent and alternative news source on which the public can rely to disrupt the narratives enabling violence, destitution and the ransacking of the planet.

In order to stay independent of the military-industrial-media complex, it is vital that we rely on the assistance of our audiences. Please consider  taking out a recurring membership or making a donation today.

Given that the U.S. appears to be just as self-serving and law defying as Russia is accused of being, what is the reality behind the unrelenting anti-Russian propaganda campaign? That question is at the heart of this week’s installment of the Global Research News Hour.

In a previous book, A Propaganda System — How Government, Corporations, Media and Academia Sell War and Exploitation, Engler examined the architecture of Canada’s public relations scheme which disguises the true role of Canada internationally, describing an interlocking network of academic institutions, government departments, think tanks, and media heavyweights which have worked to conceal the true nature of Canadian power.

His latest book Left, Right — Marching to the Beat of Imperial Canada, builds on this analysis, revealing how and why prominent left wing organizations who traditionally challenge corporate power domestically, including labour organizations, and the left of centre New Democratic Party (NDP) have apparently become complicit in reinforcing this misleading portrait of Canada as ‘The Peaceable Kingdom.’

This week’s Global Research News Hour radio program devotes most of the hour to an overview of Engler’s thesis as he begins his cross-Canada book tour.
