Domestic propaganda campaign that occurred in The United States before the invasion began. The story centers on a young Kuwaiti woman named Naira. On 10/10/1990, the 15 year old girl gave riveting testimony before Congress about the horrors inside Kuwait after Iraq invaded. Nayirah's testimony was rebroadcast across the country and marked a turning point in public opinion on going to war. President George H. W. Bush repeatedly cited her claims. They had kids in incubators, and they were thrown out of the incubators so that Kuwait could be systematically dismantled. Three months after Nayyra testified, President George H. W. Bush launched the invasion of Iraq. But it turned out Nayyra's claims weren't true. It also turned out Nayyra was not just any Kuwaiti teenager. She was the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to The United States, Saad Nasir al Sabah.

Speaker 0: Describes the cutting off of heads during Operation Stone: a lieutenant colonel there, two people had their heads cut off and put on stakes and stuck in the middle of the field. Speaker 1: Describes a brutal act against a woman: he went over there and ripped her clothes off and took a knife and cut from her vagina all the way up, well, just about up to her breast and pulled her organs out completely out of her cavity and threw them out. And then he stopped and knelt over and commenced to peel every bit of skin off her body and left her there as a sign for something or other. And there were Speaker 2: Describes a child-killing incident: two little boys playing on a dike. One sergeant just took his M16 and shot one boy off the dike. The other boy tried to run. When he was almost out of sight, this other guy, Spec Four, shot this other little boy off the dike. And the little boy was, like, lying on the ground kicking. So he shot him again to make sure he's dead. Speaker 3: Notes that the people are aware of what American soldiers do to them, so they hide the young girls. Found one hiding in a bomb shelter in sort of the basement of her house. She was taken out and raped by six or seven people in front of her family, in front of most of the villagers. This isn’t just one instance. This is just the first one that I could remember. Speaker 4: Describes a game-like brutality and a system of trophies: It got to be like a game. The object was to see who could kill the most people. Different ways to prove how many people you killed included cutting off ears. If you brought back someone’s ears, pretty likely you had to kill them to get them. Then people would, you know, whoever had the most ears, they would get the most beers, and you trade your ears for beers. Speaker 5: Recounts another atrocity in which civilians were targeted: As I was walking over to him, I turned and I looked in the area. I looked to where the VCS were, supposed VCS. And two men were leading a young girl, approximately 19 years old, very pretty, out of a hooch. She had no clothes on, so I assumed she’d been raped, was pretty SOP. And she was thrown onto the pile of the 19 women and children, and five men around the circle opened up on full automatic with her M16s. And that was into that.

They lied, claiming Saddam was developing nuclear weapons. They said there were weapons of mass destruction, but there were none, and they knew it. They claimed removing Saddam would have enormous positive reverberations on the region. Going into Iraq may have been the worst decision any president has made in the history of the country. We should have never been in Iraq.

I briefed the press as an analyst and interrogator for the CIA, circulating disinformation to influence public opinion. I targeted influential journalists like Robert Chaplin and Kais Beach, planting false information to support US interests in Vietnam. I would also mislead reporters by briefing diplomats to provide false confirmation. Despite my involvement, I now oppose these propaganda tactics, believing they serve no purpose for the CIA.

Iraqi soldiers committed atrocities during Desert Storm, including pulling out fingernails and using electric shock. The story of babies being left to die after their incubators were taken was a hoax. The Gulf War was sold to the public by portraying Saddam Hussein as another Hitler. The war led to the deaths of many Iraqis, including children and the elderly, both during the conflict and due to sanctions. The propaganda surrounding the war, including fake claims about Saddam's weapons program, had lasting consequences, such as the presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia and the rise of Osama Bin Laden.

As news of the Hamas attack emerged, the Israeli PR machine aimed to shock the Western public into supporting the destruction of Gaza, finding allies in US mainstream media. Reports claimed at least 40 babies were killed, some decapitated. An Israeli prime minister spokesman confirmed babies and toddlers were found decapitated. Reports also claimed babies and adults were decapitated and burned to death. Further reports alleged children were bound, burned, and executed, with parents tortured in front of them. One pregnant woman's stomach was butchered, with a knife left in the baby. Additional claims included little kids beheaded, babies baked in ovens, and women kept alive to hear their children's screams. Women were also allegedly sexually assaulted, brutally killed, and pregnant women cut open. Hamas was described as ISIS.

Witness Naira, a young girl from Kuwait, shares her harrowing experience during the Iraqi invasion. She recounts how she and her family were in Kuwait for a summer vacation when the invasion occurred. Naira witnessed the Iraqi soldiers taking babies out of incubators at a hospital and leaving them to die on the floor. She also describes the destruction and torture inflicted by the Iraqis on her country and its people. Naira and her friends distributed pamphlets condemning the invasion but were warned of potential danger. Despite the horrors she has witnessed, Naira remains determined to rebuild Kuwait. The committee expresses shock at the inhumanity and calls for international action to free Kuwait from this aggression.

Following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th, Israeli PR promoted claims of atrocities to shock the West into supporting the destruction of Gaza. The claim that Hamas beheaded 40 babies originated from a single Israeli soldier, David Zion, who has a history of inciting violence against Palestinians. Mainstream media amplified this claim, with President Biden even stating he saw confirmed pictures. These claims were later retracted by the Israeli army, government press office, and the White House. Other lurid stories came from Yossi Landau, who admitted to using his imagination to describe atrocities. Claims included children burned alive and families tortured while terrorists ate. Secretary Blinken repeated claims of a father's eye being gouged out and a mother's breast cut off. However, no bodies matched these descriptions, and official data confirmed only one baby was killed by a shot through a door. Israel then shifted to claims of systemic rape by Hamas, promoted at a UN event featuring prominent feminists. The New York Times published an article alleging a pattern of gender-based violence, relying on sources with a history of fabrication. The article's claims unraveled as family members of alleged victims refuted them. Despite evidence to the contrary, the media amplified these claims, creating support for Israel's actions in Gaza.

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was based on false information about attacks that never happened. Only two members of Congress voted against it. Evidence from sailors and pilots contradicts the claims of attacks. The war in Vietnam was built on lies, as revealed in recently released White House tapes discussing plans for retaliation before the alleged attacks. The whole conflict was a fraud, causing immense damage to both the US and Vietnam.

The speaker recalls a conversation where a general informed him that the decision to go to war with Iraq had been made without any evidence connecting Saddam to Al Qaeda. The general mentioned that the military's only solution to dealing with terrorists was to take down governments. Later, the speaker learned about a memo outlining plans to attack seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq. The video then mentions military operations in Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan. It concludes by mentioning the investigation into the misuse of intelligence information and the speaker's belief that evidence points to wrongdoing.

After 9/11, a general told me the decision to go to war with Iraq was made without evidence linking Saddam to Al Qaeda. Plans were revealed to take out 7 countries in 5 years, starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. Military operations began in Iraq and Syria. The situation in Syria was discussed, acknowledging the distressing images coming out of the country.

The transcript discusses a video claimed to show an Iranian woman detained during the January protests, arguing the video is fake and produced by an AI company. It states the video is a product of Generative AI for Good, an Israeli impact company that develops AI-powered initiatives to amplify silenced voices, with one initiative focusing on sexual violence against women. The woman’s face is said to have been changed with AI to protect her identity, but the entire scene—bookshelf, curtains, samovar, and the creators—offers no information about where the testimony came from. The narrative within the video is said to be disturbing to many because, beyond the AI fabrication, the woman repeats nationalistic tropes that depict non-Persians as aggressors, and it claims without evidence that thousands of protesters, including children, were subjected to severe sexual violence in January. The speaker notes there are real victims of state and sexual violence, but questions why stories are made up and why now. Anthropologists are cited, stating that depicting oriental women as helpless victims in need of rescue is a powerful propaganda tool in political strategy and modern warfare. This portrayal is said to be designed to appeal specifically to Western white audiences, which allegedly influences global attention toward what Iranian women wear and Iran’s hijab laws rather than substantive equal rights issues. The transcript links this dynamic to the Iran’s woman life freedom movement, suggesting it went viral and drew foreigners worldwide to focus on slogans and visible symbols. The transcript then references former U.S. President Donald Trump, noting that he shared photos of eight Iranian women who were allegedly about to be executed and saved by his intervention. It adds that Iran’s judiciary denied these claims. It also states that the images have been altered to the point of debate over whether they are entirely AI-generated or simply retouched to appear more appealing—featuring young, attractive, hijab-free, mostly blonde women. The final observation asserts that thousands of people are in Iranian prisons, but in a war of bombs and narratives, some have discovered that if you can’t identify a perfect victim, you can create one.

A witness named Nayira testified about her experience in Kuwait during the Iraqi invasion. She and her mother were there for a vacation when the invasion occurred. Nayira witnessed the Iraqi soldiers taking babies out of incubators and leaving them to die. She also described the destruction and torture inflicted by the Iraqis on the Kuwaiti people. Nayira emphasized the need to remove Saddam Hussein and rebuild Kuwait. The chairman expressed gratitude to all the witnesses for their testimonies, stating that the inhumanity and brutality described were unprecedented. He called for international action to free Kuwait from aggression and brutality.

Nations don't go to war easily, sometimes needing to be bombed into it, like Pearl Harbor in World War II and September 11. Removing Saddam's regime would have positive effects, as he used weapons of mass destruction and sought nuclear weapons. A year after September 11, the U.S. had the courage to win. The terrorists attacked and killed 3,000 citizens before the freedom agenda in the Middle East. The main reason for going into Iraq was the belief that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, which turned out to be false, and had nothing to do with 9/11. Some suggest the U.S. sometimes needs a catalyst for war, like Pearl Harbor or the Lusitania. Covert actions against Iran were mentioned, including intensifying pressure. Netanyahu reportedly said the September 11 attacks were good for Israel. Some left the military due to being lied to about weapons of mass destruction and ties to Al Qaeda. Instructions were given to shoot at anything that moved after IED explosions, desensitizing soldiers by dehumanizing Iraqis. There was a total disregard for human life. One individual apologized to an Iraqi man, finding it redemptive.

In 1990, Iraq attacked Kuwait, leading to a split opinion among the US public on whether to engage in a land war. However, support for war increased dramatically after a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl testified before a congressional committee. She claimed that Iraqi soldiers took babies out of incubators, causing them to die. This testimony was later revealed to be false, as the girl was coached by a PR firm. The US and Kuwait had engaged in a $10 million campaign of deception. This incident highlights the use of fake organizations, false documents, and disinformation to achieve geopolitical goals.

False claims about Palestine are being spread, including the beheading of 40 babies, rape incidents, and 250 people killed at a concert. However, there is no evidence to support these claims. The only videos available show people fleeing the concert, with no proof of a mass killing. Interviews with Israelis suggest that Palestinian resistance fighters were actually kind and merciful. These lies are part of atrocity propaganda, aimed at inciting hatred and violence. The goal is to portray Palestinians as barbaric and justify future atrocities. It's important to recognize this as a war of information and stand against it.

Rain McGovern argues that the current conflict with Iran is truly an existential war for Israel, with Iran likely to survive whatever comes next, while the U.S. “hopefully will” as well. Israel has “put all its eggs in this one basket,” influenced by Netanyahu and by what she describes as Washington’s handling through Marco Rubio, who she says is the funnel for intelligence to Donald Trump via the National Security Council. Rubio allegedly admitted that Israel attacked Iran to trap the U.S. into acting, fearing Iranian retaliation if Washington didn’t respond. McGovern contends the war was launched by Israel to preempt Iranian escalation, and notes that most Americans are unaware of this dynamic because it’s not in major news outlets. She recounts a Geneva mediation process in which Oman’s foreign minister acted as an honest broker between the U.S. and Iran. After a session in Geneva on February 26-27, the Oman mediator reported that Iran had backed off on enrichment demands and could allow inspectors, suggesting a near-deal. McGovern claims that Rubio and perhaps Kushner then pushed for an Israeli attack, undermining the talks and pushing the U.S. toward war. She emphasizes that the question on her daughter’s lips (and among many Americans) is why there was no plan for such a major action, while insisting the truth is that “we got in this war for Israel,” a point she says is not widely reported. McGovern connects this to a broader pattern in U.S.-Iran relations, arguing that the leadership in Tehran now has the upper hand, having demonstrated greater missile capabilities and a willingness to close the Strait of Hormuz, which has global economic consequences. She suggests Netanyahu could resort to extreme measures, including a nuclear option in extremis, to avoid defeat, drawing a parallel to the Samson option and noting Kennedy’s crisis-era caution about provoking a nuclear power. She argues that Kremlinology does not apply cleanly to Trump—public statements can diverge from private intent, making it hard to predict outcomes or the briefer’s assessments. The discussion shifts to the U.S. domestic and international implications. McGovern notes the Gulf states’ reliability as U.S. allies has weakened; Putin quickly signaled to Gulf leaders that the U.S. defense posture was unreliable, urging them to reassess their alignment. She cites Lavrov’s Bedouin line about not riding two camels at once, highlighting Russia’s role as a potential mediator and its desire to leverage the situation for its own benefit. She points to Russia’s backing of Iran and China’s ties, suggesting Moscow could press Washington to back off to minimize midterm political damage. A historical digression covers Iraq War intelligence failures. McGovern recalls the 2002-2003 run-up to Iraq, where Colin Powell claimed links between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda and weapons of mass destruction—claims later shown by the Senate Intelligence Committee to be “unsubstantiated, contradicted, or nonexistent.” She cites Tom Finger’s 2003 assessment that Iran stopped pursuing a nuclear weapon in 2003, a finding reiterated by the intelligence community through 2007 and, as she asserts, up to Tulsi Gabbard’s March congressional testimony. She warns that Iran may continue advancing its capabilities, including hypersonic missiles, and predicts further pressure on global markets via Hormuz. Regarding regime change, McGovern contends it is now out of the question given the Iranian leadership’s resilience, the new supreme leader’s position after the deaths of family members, and Tehran’s insistence on not dealing with Trump. She suggests that Russia and China could try to broker a deal, requiring Iran to back away from confrontation and urging Washington to back off. The discussion ends with a reflection on civilian casualties and the propaganda around the Minab incident and U.S. claims about Iranian responsibility, including critique of Peter Hegseth and the broader narrative around civilian targets and U.S. strategic messaging. McGovern closes by urging accountability for civilian harm, citing the deaths of 168 young girls in Minab, and accusing Hegseth of deflecting blame. She reiterates the brutality and the moral concerns surrounding aggressive actions, warning of the implications for U.S. credibility and the global order.

Intel agencies have a significant influence on television broadcasts, Facebook, and Google. Many anchors, including a national security reporter, act as mouthpieces for the Pentagon and the CIA, knowingly spreading lies. This is a common practice, even at CNN. These reporters read government propaganda from intel agencies, and it's frustrating and offensive, regardless of whether one agrees with the lies or not. For instance, when the CIA and Pentagon claimed that Bashar al Assad used poison gas, there was no evidence to support it. Despite this, many people were killed in response.

During the Gulf War, a story emerged that Iraqi soldiers had taken babies out of incubators in Kuwait and left them to die. This story was widely reported and used to justify the war. However, investigations later revealed that the story was a complete hoax. The witness who testified to this atrocity was actually the daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador, and she was coached by a PR firm hired to sell the war. The PR campaign, costing millions of dollars, manipulated public opinion and influenced the decision to go to war. This highlights the power of propaganda and the dangers of misinformation in shaping public perception and policy.

This transcript details how a staged Kuwaiti testimony helped sell the Gulf War. A tearful teenage Kuwaiti girl known only as Nayyura described Iraqi soldiers storming hospitals and removing incubators, claims broadcast. The testimony was presented as raw and unforgettable, boosting support for intervention. It later emerged that Nuria/Nayyara’s story was organized by a front group close to the Bush administration—Citizens for a Free Kuwait—with Hill and Nalton, a PR firm with CIA ties, aiming to sway congressional opinion to war. Nayyera was given acting lessons; the incubator narrative became the centerpiece, amplified by Hollywood and a 'we are the world' style video, topped by Whitney Houston’s Star Spangled Banner. The era introduced 24/7 live war coverage; CNN coverage faced questions about authenticity and staged elements, including piped sound effects and off-camera demeanor. The Kuwaiti girl's testimony is called a master class in propaganda, illustrating the art of selling war.

Speaker 0 recounts the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait: "Took incubators and left the children to die on the cold floor. That was horrifying." After leaving the hospital, he and friends distributed flyers condemning the Iraqi invasion "until we were warned we might be killed if the Iraqi saw us." He states, "The Iraqis have destroyed everything in Kuwait"—"They stripped the supermarkets of food, the pharmacies of medicine, the factories of medical surprise supplies, ransacked their houses and tortured neighbors and friends." He describes torture of a friend who "is 22, but he looked as though he could have been an old man," including "dunked his head into a swimming pool until he almost drowned," "pulled out his fingernails and applied electric shock to sensitive private parts of his body." If a soldier is found dead, "they burned to the ground all the houses in in the general vicinity." They were forced to hide; "Kuwait is our mother and then they are our father." "I'm glad I'm 15, old enough to remember Kuwait before Saddam Hussein destroyed it, and young enough to rebuild it." The mayor thanks witnesses and notes eight years of hearings on human rights abuses.

We are in an image war where media shows images of crying mothers with a plastic baby, making it seem like a dead baby. But there are also real children dying, and you are well aware of that. There are real children dying naturally, civilian victims everywhere, and naturally, it is regrettable. We must mourn all civilian victims who are victims of war. It is important to remember that they are victims and justice should quickly analyze this.

In the past, false information has been used to manipulate public opinion for war. In 1990, a girl claimed she saw babies killed in Kuwait, but it was a lie. Her father was Kuwait's ambassador. A similar tactic was used by Colin Powell, who falsely claimed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, leading to a US invasion and many Iraqi deaths. This raises the question of whether similar misinformation is being used in the case of Ukraine.

A viral video of a nurse denouncing a Hamas occupation in the Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza. The publication sharing this video was shared mostly by pro Israeli accounts since November 11 and has accumulated over 1,500,000 views. In the video, she denounces what she says is the Hamas occupation of this hospital as she accuses Hamas of stealing the hospital's food, medicine and fuel; you can hear explosions in the background and a five year old boy without morphine. ECAD facts concluded this video is a fake and that it is staged or as you call it crisis acting. Audio analysis found that all of the explosions in the video sound exactly the same; an identical pattern. Pronunciation errors in Arabic were noted. Hannah Abubtul has been wrongly identified as the creator of this video. Bottom line: don't believe all you see online.
