Creating new Images of Enemies: Germany Repeats US Propaganda 'Without a Backward Glance'

Commenting on the recent remarks of German politicians and the coverage of the Syrian conflict in the German media, Albrecht Müller, the founder and publisher of German analytical website NachDenkSeiten told Sputnik Deutschland that it is a "blind repetition of what is being said in the US."

The German media has been wrongfully reporting on the Syrian conflict, Müller said.

The majority of German media, not all of them of course, but ideologically leading outlets such as public TV network ARD and its program Tagesschau are closely interconnected with trans-Atlantic interests. They are creating new images of enemies to frighten the German public, he told Sputnik.

"It is particularly sadly for me as I have been participating in the peace protection movement since the 1950s. This is one of the reasons why I keep taking part in this. A new image of Russia as an enemy is being drawn up in the conflict between the East and the West and the Syrian conflict is being used to facilitate this," he explained.

The problem is that all of the propaganda which is being used in the Syrian conflict is being blindly adopted by Germany, he added.

"For example, if John Kerry claims that Russia is bombing the east of Aleppo calling it barbarism, the same is being repeated by the German federal government, ARD, German newspapers without any backward glance at what might be the real truth and at the fact that barbarism in Syria could be seen virtually everywhere," the expert said.

Barbarism could be seen in the action of the so-called militants, Daesh, al-Nusra, and in the actions of the Syrian army, he said.......http://sptnkne.ws/csZs
