OPERATION MASS APPEAL: How MI6 sold the Iraq war with lies & propaganda

BRITS 45 mins FROM DOOM. Cyprus within missile range. Nuclear Bombs. Human Rights. Saddam's Heir.

Operation Mass Appeal was a British MI6 propaganda campaign to plant stories in the Western press to gain public support for the invasion of Iraq.

You will remember the infamous “Weapons of Mass Destruction”, a lie which sold a war which killed approximately 200,000 Iraqi civilians. Of course, the weapons never existed, and the press carried on as if their gigantic and horrendous hoax never happened.

The legacy of the complicit media cartel is one of theft, bloodshed, death and destruction. A perfect partner in crime with the corrupted security and intelligence agencies.

If they will lie to start wars, what won’t they lie about?

Sunday Times, December 28th 2003: "The government yesterday confirmed that MI6 had organised Operation Mass Appeal".

Scott Ritter, who led 14 UN inspection missions in Iraq, said that MI6 had recruited him in 1997 to help with the propaganda effort. He described meetings where the senior officer and at least two other MI6 staff had discussed ways to manipulate intelligence material.

"The aim was to convince the public that Iraq was a far greater threat than it actually was," Ritter said last week.

He said there was evidence that MI6 continued to use similar propaganda tactics up to the invasion of Iraq earlier this year. 

"Stories ran in the media about secret underground facilities in Iraq and ongoing programmes (to produce weapons of mass destruction)," said Ritter. "They were sourced to western intelligence and all of them were garbage."
