BBC DISTORTS AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL PRESS RELEASE

April 21, 2006 - RAPID RESPONSE MEDIA ALERT: DEMONISING IRAN

''DEATH PENALTY: 20,000 ON DEATH ROW ACROSS THE WORLD'' -
MOST DEATH SENTENCES: CHINA, IRAN, SAUDI ARABIA AND THE USA

In a recent speech at New York's Columbia University, John Pilger commented:

„We now know that the BBC and other British media were used by MI6, the secret intelligence service. In what was called 'Operation Mass Appeal', MI6 agents planted stories about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction - such as weapons hidden in his palaces and in secret underground bunkers. All these stories were fake.'' (John Pilger, 'The real first casualty of war,‚ New Statesman, April 24, 2006)

Wittingly or otherwise, the BBC may now be participating in a rehashed 'Operation Mass Appeal'‚ to generate support for an assault on Iran. Consider the focus of yesterday‚s BBC online article, 'Mid-East executions are condemned‚:

„Amnesty International has said that Iran executed 94 people in 2005, while 86 were executed in Saudi Arabia. „Iran, the rights group said, was the only country known to have executed juvenile offenders in 2005. „At least eight people were killed for crimes committed when they were children, including two who were still under 18 at the time of execution.

''Some detainees in Saudi Arabia had been tried and sentenced in a language they did not speak or read.'' (http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/1/hi/world/middle_east/4925922.stm)

Compare and contrast the above with the opening paragraphs of yesterday‚s Amnesty International press release, ''Death Penalty: 20,000 on death row across the world'' - from which this information was taken. We think it is well worth reading this section in full:

„Amnesty International today revealed that over 20,000 people on death row across the world are waiting to be killed by their own governments.

IN ITS LATEST ANNUAL ANALYSIS ON THE USE OF THE DEATH PENALTY WORLDWIDE, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL ALSO DISCLOSED THAT AT LEAST 2,148 PEOPLE WERE EXECUTED DURING 2005 IN 22 COUNTRIES -- 94 PERCENT IN CHINA, IRAN, SAUDI ARABIA AND THE USA ALONE.

5,186 PEOPLE WERE SENTENCED TO DEATH IN 53 COUNTRIES DURING 2005.

„The organization cautioned that these figures are approximate because of the secrecy surrounding the death penalty. Many governments, like China, refuse to publish full official statistics on executions while Viet Nam has even classified statistics and reporting on the death penalty as a 'state secret'.

„‚Figures around the death penalty are truly disturbing: 20,000 people are counting down to the day when the state will take their life. The death penalty is the ultimate, irreversible denial of human rights, because it contravenes the essence of human values, It is often applied in a discriminatory manner, follows unfair trials or is applied for political reasons. It can be an irreversible error when there is miscarriage of justice,‚ said Irene Khan, Amnesty International's Secretary General.

"THE DEATH PENALTY IS NOT A UNIQUE DETERRENT AGAINST CRIME. INSTEAD OF RELYING ON THE ILLUSION OF CONTROL GIVEN BY THE DEATH PENALTY, GOVERNMENTS MUST FOCUS ON DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE MEASURES AGAINST CRIME.''

„Despite the shocking figures on the death penalty, the trend towards abolition continues to grow: the number of countries carrying out executions halved in the last 20 years and has dropped for the fourth consecutive year. Mexico and Liberia are the two most recent examples of countries that have abolished the death penalty.

"As the world continues to turn away from the use of the death penalty, it is a glaring anomaly that China, Saudi Arabia, Iran and the USA stand out for their extreme use of this form of punishment as the 'top' executors in the world,'' said Ms Khan.

''In China -- the country that accounts for almost 80% of all executions -- a person can be sentenced and executed for as many as 68 crimes, including non-violent crimes such as tax fraud, embezzlement and drug offences.

„In Saudi Arabia, people have been taken from their prison cells and executed without knowing that a death sentence has been passed against them. Others have been tried and sentenced to death in a language they didn't speak or read.

''In the US, two men were released from death row in 2005 after evidence of their innocence emerged.

''Iran was the only country known to Amnesty International to have executed juvenile offenders in 2005. Iran executed at least eight people in 2005 for crimes committed when they were children, including two who were still under the age of 18 at the time of their execution. The USA banned the execution of juvenile offenders in March 2005 having previously been a "world leader" in the practice.'' (http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGACT500092006)

Notice that Amnesty initially focused collectively on China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United States, before focusing in separate paragraphs on China - ''the country that accounts for almost 80% of all executions'' - on Saudi Arabia, on the United States, and only then on Iran. Curiously, the BBC article omitted to mention the following statistic reported by Amnesty:

''IRAQ: FOLLOWING REINSTATEMENT OF THE DEATH PENALTY IN 2004, CRIMINAL COURTS HANDED DOWN MORE THAN 50 DEATH SENTENCES DURING 2005. THERE WERE THREE EXECUTIONS.''

(http://web.amnesty.org/pages/deathpenalty-developments2005-eng)

In a 900-word press release, Amnesty devoted 47 words focusing specifically on Iran in the 11th paragraph of a 19-paragraph article. While the press release discussed the death penalty „across the world„, the BBC‚s title chose to focus on „Mid-East executions„.

Why did the BBC decide to focus so prominently and heavily on Iran - a country under serious threat of attack by the United States and perhaps Britain? Why would the BBC choose to isolate and highlight the sins of an official enemy, thereby boosting the government‚s propaganda campaign? Is this innocent, or are more cynical forces at work here?

In a recent Guest Media Alert, Richard Keeble, author of Secret State, Silent Press (John Libbey 1997), cited Roy Greenslade, media specialist at the Telegraph: "Most tabloid newspapers - or even newspapers in general - are playthings of MI5."

Keeble commented:

„Bloch and Fitzgerald, in their examination of covert UK warfare, report the editor of Œone of Britain‚s most distinguished journals‚ as believing that more than half its foreign correspondents were on the MI6 payroll. And in 1991, Richard Norton-Taylor revealed in the Guardian that 500 prominent Britons paid by the CIA and the now defunct Bank of Commerce and Credit International, included 90 journalists.'' (Keeble, ‚Hacks And Spooks,‚ Media Alert, March 3, 2006; http://www.medialens.org/alerts/06/060303_hacks_and_spooks.php)

AND WHAT, WE ARE ENTITLED TO ASK, IS THE SITUATION AT THE BBC?

The Real First Casualty of War - Journalists are killers too!

NEVER BELIEVE ANYTHING UNTIL IT HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY DENIED

by Henk Ruyssenaars

FPF - Amsterdam - April 21st - 2006 - It's today three years and five days ago I published a story on the way journalists fertilize the global battlefields with the media manure they are spreading. (And I will never forget nor forgive the so called Journalists Union in The Netherlands (NVJ) for their part in the global war crimes. They killed 'journalism' in Holland, and are guilty.) - In a very good article today one of the favorite reporters of the FPF, John Pilger, enforces what was written in his usual eloquent manner, with some hair raising examples from the harsh reality a real journalist should describe. Otherwise it's never going to be a humane world, contrary to what has been happening for ages.*

Because, as I wrote: ''Journalists are killers too...! A question which needs an answer is however the following: are journalists killers too...? - And the answer is an unequivocal YES! Journalists kill when keeping silent about crimes by their governments and others. Or help fabricate propaganda supporting wars. I sincerely hope to see the day when all those followers of Nazi propagandists Joseph Goebbels - propagandists of ALL nationalities, and we know who they are, will be judged for their crimes against humanity.- Url.: http://tinyurl.com/4gwdv -

Like Pilger I've been living abroad for more than four decades, and find it unbelievable that so many of the people you thought you knew have sold themselves lock, stock and barrel to the killers. And those despicable cancerous information spreading traitors of humanity permanently 'forget' to inform the people they are supposed to work for - the readers, listeners, viewers, about the tens of millions of deaths in the trail of the cretins which have enslaved those Judasses. - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/h4922

It's like Pilger writes too: without those silent and sometimes secretly collaborating cowards, those miserable megaphones of the group which has the gold and the guns; all the massacres, the global suffering, the fake drama of the 9/11 'inside job* and the fake 'War on terror' or their Holodomors* - would never have been possible!

I do hope that those war propaganda criminals - of which some still claim the title of 'Journalist' - will burn in Hell forever. If they - and the Group - sizzle like bacon one minute for every human being killed by their malignancy - they will be there for centuries. As they all, and very much deserve. - HR

JOHN PILGER: THE REAL FIRST CASUALTY OF WAR

How guilty those creatures in the propaganda press are is very well described by John Pilger in his article about The Real First Casualty of War: ''During the 1970s, I filmed secretly in Czechoslovakia, then a Stalinist dictatorship. The dissident novelist Zdenek Urbánek told me, "In one respect, we are more fortunate than you in the west. We believe nothing of what we read in the newspapers and watch on television, nothing of the official truth. Unlike you, we have learned to read between the lines, because real truth is always subversive."

This acute skepticism, this skill of reading between the lines, is urgently needed in supposedly free societies today. Take the reporting of state-sponsored war. The oldest cliché is that truth is the first casualty of war. I disagree. Journalism is the first casualty. Not only that: it has become a weapon of war, a virulent censorship that goes unrecognized in the United States, Britain, and other democracies; censorship by omission, whose power is such that, in war, it can mean the difference between life and death for people in faraway countries, such as Iraq.

AS A JOURNALIST FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, I HAVE TRIED TO UNDERSTAND HOW THIS WORKS.

In the aftermath of the U.S. war in Vietnam, which I reported, the policy in Washington was revenge, a word frequently used in private but never publicly. A medieval embargo was imposed on Vietnam and Cambodia; the Thatcher government cut off supplies of milk to the children of Vietnam. This assault on the very fabric of life in two of the world's most stricken societies was rarely reported; the consequence was mass suffering.

It was during this time that I made a series of documentaries about Cambodia. The first, in 1979, Year Zero: The Silent Death of Cambodia, described the American bombing that had provided a catalyst for the rise of Pol Pot, and showed the shocking human effects of the embargo. Year Zero was broadcast in some 60 countries, but never in the United States. When I flew to Washington and offered it to the national public broadcaster, PBS, I received a curious reaction. PBS executives were shocked by the film, and spoke admiringly of it, even as they collectively shook their heads. One of them said: "John, we are disturbed that your film says the United States played such a destructive role, so we have decided to call in a journalistic adjudicator."

PBS: THE TERM "JOURNALISTIC ADJUDICATOR" WAS OUT OF ORWELL.

PBS appointed one Richard Dudman, a reporter on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and one of the few Westerners to have been invited by Pol Pot to visit Cambodia. His dispatches reflected none of the savagery then enveloping that country; he even praised his hosts. Not surprisingly, he gave my film the thumbs-down. One of the PBS executives confided to me: "These are difficult days under Ronald Reagan. Your film would have given us problems."

The lack of truth about what had really happened in southeast Asia – the media-promoted myth of a "blunder" and the suppression of the true scale of civilian casualties and of routine mass murder, even the word "invasion" – allowed Reagan to launch a second "noble cause" in central America. The target was another impoverished nation without resources: Nicaragua, whose "threat," like Vietnam's, was in trying to establish a model of development different from that of the colonial dictatorships backed by Washington. Nicaragua was crushed, thanks in no small part to leading American journalists, conservative and liberal, who suppressed the triumphs of the Sandinistas and encouraged a specious debate about a "threat."

THE TRAGEDY IN IRAQ IS DIFFERENT, BUT, FOR JOURNALISTS, THERE ARE HAUNTING SIMILARITIES.

On Aug. 24 last year, a New York Times editorial declared: "If we had all known then what we know now, the invasion [of Iraq] would have been stopped by a popular outcry." This amazing admission was saying, in effect, that the invasion would never have happened if journalists had not betrayed the public by accepting and amplifying and echoing the lies of Bush and Blair, instead of challenging and exposing them.

BBC (BROADCASTING BLAIR'S CRAP - HR): THE UNTHINKABLE WAS NORMALIZED

We now know that the BBC and other British media were used by MI6, the secret intelligence service. In what was called "Operation Mass Appeal," MI6 agents planted stories about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction – such as weapons hidden in his palaces and in secret underground bunkers. All these stories were fake. But this is not the point. The point is that the dark deeds of MI6 were quite unnecessary. Recently, the BBC's director of news, Helen Boaden, was asked to explain how one of her "embedded" reporters in Iraq, having accepted U.S. denials of the use of chemical weapons against civilians, could possibly describe the aim of the Anglo-American invasion as to "bring democracy and human rights" to Iraq. She replied with quotations from Blair that this was indeed the aim, as if Blair's utterances and the truth were in any way related.

On the third anniversary of the invasion, a BBC newsreader described this illegal, unprovoked act, based on lies, as a "miscalculation." Thus, to use Edward Herman's memorable phrase, the unthinkable was normalized.

Such servility to state power is hotly denied, yet routine. Almost the entire British media has omitted the true figure of Iraqi civilian casualties, willfully ignoring or attempting to discredit respectable studies. "Making conservative assumptions," wrote the researchers from the eminent Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, working with Iraqi scholars, "we think that about 100,000 excess deaths, or more, have happened since the 2003 invasion of Iraq … which were primarily the result of military actions by coalition forces. Most of those killed by coalition forces were women and children…." That was Oct. 29, 2004. Today, the figure has doubled.*

"WAR ON TERROR" IS A FAKE METAPHOR THAT INSULTS OUR INTELLIGENCE.

Language is perhaps the most crucial battleground. Noble words such as "democracy," "liberation," "freedom," and "reform" have been emptied of their true meaning and refilled by the enemies of those concepts. The counterfeits dominate the news, along with dishonest political labels, such as "left of center," a favorite given to warlords such as Blair and Bill Clinton; it means the opposite. "War on terror" is a fake metaphor that insults our intelligence. We are not at war. Instead, our troops are fighting insurrections in countries where our invasions have caused mayhem and grief, the evidence and images of which are suppressed. How many people know that, in revenge for 3,000 innocent lives taken on Sept. 11, 2001, up to 20,000 innocent people died in Afghanistan?

HUGO CHÁVEZ'S VENEZUELA IS CURRENTLY BEING SOFTENED UP ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC.

In reclaiming the honor of our craft, not to mention the truth, we journalists at least need to understand the historic task to which we are assigned – that is, to report the rest of humanity in terms of its usefulness, or otherwise, to "us," and to soften up the public for rapacious attacks on countries that are no threat to us. We soften them up by dehumanizing them, by writing about "regime change" in Iran as if that country were an abstraction, not a human society. Hugo Chávez's Venezuela is currently being softened up on both sides of the Atlantic. A few weeks ago, Channel 4 news carried a major item that might have been broadcast by the U.S. State Department. The reporter, Jonathan Rugman, the program's Washington correspondent, presented Chávez as a cartoon character, a sinister buffoon whose folksy Latin ways disguised a man "in danger of joining a rogues' gallery of dictators and despots – Washington's latest Latin nightmare." In contrast, Condoleezza Rice was given gravitas and Donald Rumsfeld was allowed to compare Chávez to Hitler.

THIS TRAVESTY OF JOURNALISM

Indeed, almost everything in this travesty of journalism was viewed from Washington, and only fragments of it from the barrios of Venezuela, where Chávez enjoys 80 percent popularity. That he had won nine democratic elections and referendums – a world record – was omitted. In crude Soviet flick style, he was shown with the likes of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, though these brief encounters had to do with OPEC and oil only. According to Rugman, Venezuela under Chávez is helping Iran develop nuclear weapons. No evidence was given for this absurdity. People watching would have no idea that Venezuela was the only oil-producing country in the world to use its oil revenue for the benefit of poor people. They would have no idea of spectacular developments in health, education, literacy; no idea that Venezuela has no political jails – unlike the United States.

So if the Bush administration moves to implement "Operation Bilbao," a contingency plan to overthrow the democratic government of Venezuela, who will care, because who will know? For we shall have only the media version; another demon will get what is coming to him. The poor of Venezuela, like the poor of Nicaragua, and the poor of Vietnam and countless other faraway places, whose dreams and lives are of no interest, will be invisible in their grief: a triumph of censorship by journalism.

It is said that the Internet offers an alternative, and what is wonderful about the rebellious spirits on the World Wide Web is that they often report as many journalists should. They are mavericks in the tradition of muckrakers such as Claud Cockburn, who said: "Never believe anything until it has been officially denied."

But the Internet is still a kind of samizdat, an underground, and most of humanity does not log on, just as most of humanity does not own a mobile phone. And the right to know ought to be universal. That other great muckraker, Tom Paine, warned that if the majority of the people were being denied the truth and ideas of truth, it was time to storm what he called the "Bastille of words." That time is now.

This is an abridged version of an address, "Reporting War and Empire," by John Pilger at Columbia University, New York, in company with Seymour Hersh, Robert Fisk, and Charles Glass.
