Atrocity fabrication and its consequences: how fake news shapes world order
by AB Abrams
Clarity Press,  £25

THIS remarkable book explores wars waged by Nato powers, and the atrocity fabrications which were part of the war preparations: the US aggressions against Cuba and Vietnam, the UN assault on Korea, Nato’s 1991 assault on Iraq, Nato’s wars against Yugoslavia, the 2003 war against Iraq, the USA’s ongoing conflict with North Korea, Nato’s attack on Libya, the assault on Syria, and the ongoing US conflict with China. 

Atrocity fabrications by Nato governments, by their media and by human rights “NGOs” provide the pretexts for the aggressions, paving the way for very real atrocities against the populations of the falsely accused states, which far exceed the depravity described in the fabricated narratives. There is a standard template to these fabrications — find an abuse, exaggerate it, extrapolate from it, build it up to end with the inevitable analogy to Hitler.

In US-occupied South Korea, government investigations years later proved beyond doubt that government forces killed between 600,000 and 1.2 million people in the years 1945-50. They killed hundreds of thousands more in the weeks after the war started.
