Jag har inte sällan citerat New York Times (NYT) i denna blogg. Där har publicerats information om USA:s kraftiga stöd till rebeller och terrorister i Syrien, med bl.a. stora vapensändningar. Som svenska media tiger om. NYT är en av världens mest kända tidningar.New York Times:Russia-Sweden disinformation.
Huvudinriktningen är dock stöd till USA-imperialismens krig och ekonomiska politik.

New York Times publicerade förra hösten en artikel, full av information/desinformation (döm själv) om Ryssland och krigshets. Jag publicerar och kommenterar utdrag.

Facebook skriver då och då till mig i morse:
”Dina minnen på Facebook. Anders, vi bryr oss om dig och dina minnen på Facebook. Vi tänkte att du skulle vilja se tillbaka på det här inlägget som publicerades för 1 år sedan.”

Tack snälla Facebook!

Jag återpublicerar denna artikel som först publicerades för ett år sedan.

Artikeln.

Utdrag ur New York Times artikel.
STOCKHOLM — With a vigorous national debate underway on whether Sweden should enter a military partnership with NATO, officials in Stockholm suddenly encountered an unsettling problem: a flood of distorted and outright false information on social media, confusing public perceptions of the issue.
The claims were alarming: If Sweden, a non-NATO member, signed the deal, the alliance would stockpile secret nuclear weapons on Swedish soil; NATO could attack Russia from Sweden without government approval; NATO soldiers, immune from prosecution, could rape Swedish women without fear of criminal charges.
They were all false, but the disinformation had begun spilling into the traditional news media, and as the defense minister, Peter Hultqvist, traveled the country to promote the pact in speeches and town hall meetings, he was repeatedly grilled about the bogus stories.
“People were not used to it, and they got scared, asking what can be believed, what should be believed?” said Marinette Nyh Radebo, Mr. Hultqvist’s spokeswoman.
Kommentar: Enligt värdlandsavtalet kan detta ske. NYT och M Radebo desinformerar.

As often happens in such cases, Swedish officials were never able to pin down the source of the false reports. But they, numerous analysts and experts in American and European intelligence point to Russia as the prime suspect, noting that preventing NATO expansion is a centerpiece of the foreign policy of President Vladimir V. Putin, who invaded Georgia in 2008 largely to forestall that possibility.
Kommentar:Kriget i Georgien startades av Georgien, vilket en EU-utredning visar
In Crimea, eastern Ukraine and now Syria, Mr. Putin has flaunted a modernized and more muscular military. But he lacks the economic strength and overall might to openly confront NATO, the European Union or the United States. Instead, he has invested heavily in a program of “weaponized” information, using a variety of means to sow doubt and division. The goal is to weaken cohesion among member states, stir discord in their domestic politics and blunt opposition to Russia.“Moscow views world affairs as a system of special operations, and very sincerely believes that it itself is an object of Western special operations,” said Gleb Pavlovsky, who helped establish the Kremlin’s information machine before 2008. “I am sure that there are a lot of centers, some linked to the state, that are involved in inventing these kinds of fake stories.”
Kommentar: USA och Väst har ett enormt övertag då det gäller psyop., desinformation och hybridkrigföring. Varför kan man inte ”avslöja” rysk desinformation?

* The Kremlin’s clandestine methods have surfaced in the United States, too, American officials say, identifying Russian intelligence as the likely source of leaked Democratic National Committee emails that embarrassed Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Kommentar: Finns inga belägg för detta.
The Kremlin uses both conventional media — Sputnik, a news agency, and RT, a television outlet — and covert channels, as in Sweden, that are almost always untraceable.
Russia exploits both approaches in a comprehensive assault, Wilhelm Unge, a spokesman for the Swedish Security Service, said this year when presenting the agency’s annual report. “We mean everything from internet trolls to propaganda and misinformation spread by media companies like RT and Sputnik,” he said.
Kommentar Russia Today and Sputnik ger vanligen saklig och väl underbyggda information. Skrämmande att SÄPO är så låsta. SÄPO är farligt för Sveriges säkerhet med sin enögdhet.

”RT, tidigare känd som Russia Today, är en rysk nyhetskanal ägd av den ryska staten, grundad 2005. Sändningarna sker på arabiska, engelska, ryska och spanska. Kanalen sänder dygnet runt och varvar nyhetsinslag med dokumentärer, pratshower, debatter, sportnyheter och kulturprogram med utgångspunkt i Ryssland. Kanalen har 2 000 medarbetare över hela världen och sänder till 430 miljoner tittare i över 100 länder. I mars 2012 hade kanalen nästan 700 miljoner visningar på Youtube. Sedan december 2013 ingår RT i nyhetbyrån Rossija Segodnja. RT har fått ett antal internationella TV-utmärkelser”. (Wikipedia).

* Disinformation most famously succeeded in early 2014 with the initial obfuscation about deploying Russian forces to seize Crimea. That summer, Russia pumped out a dizzying array of theories about the destruction of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine, blaming the C.I.A. and, most outlandishly, Ukrainian fighter pilots who had mistaken the airliner for the Russian presidential aircraft.
Kommentar: Svar på frågor om MH17:s nedskjutning – false flag

Sweden’s defense minister, Peter Hultqvist, last month at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. He has tried to counteract disinformation that has threatened to sway public debate in Sweden about a proposed military partnership with NATO.
The cloud of stories helped veil the simple truth that poorly trained insurgents had accidentally downed the plane with a missile supplied by Russia.

Moscow adamantly denies using disinformation to influence Western public opinion and tends to label accusations of either overt or covert threats as “Russophobia.”
“There is an impression that, like in a good orchestra, many Western countries every day accuse Russia of threatening someone,” Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, said at a recent ministry briefing.
Tracing individual strands of disinformation is difficult, but in Sweden and elsewhere, experts have detected a characteristic pattern that they tie to Kremlin-generated disinformation campaigns.

“The dynamic is always the same: It originates somewhere in Russia, on Russia state media sites, or different websites or somewhere in that kind of context,” said Anders Lindberg, a Swedish journalist and lawyer.
“Then the fake document becomes the source of a news story distributed on far-left or far-right-wing websites,” he said. “Those who rely on those sites for news link to the story, and it spreads. Nobody can say where they come from, but they end up as key issues in a security policy decision.” Although the topics may vary, the goal is the same, Mr. Lindberg and others suggested. “What the Russians are doing is building narratives; they are not building facts,” he said. “The underlying narrative is, ‘Don’t trust anyone.’”
Kommentar: Ja, Hultqvist (främst) och ibland Lindberg tillhör dem som desinformerat den svenska allmänheten i frågor om NATO, värdlandsavtalet,alliansfrihet, säkerhetspolitiken och Ryssland.

* Lindberg har inte presenterat några belägg för sina påståenden efter vad jag vet. Har någon sett det? Hör av er i så fall!

Moonofalabama påminner i arikeln ”NYT Laments Of Allegedly False Russian News Stories – With A False U.S. News Story”

The New York Times is desperate for new readers and therefore tries to branch into the realm of The Onion and other satirical sites. It attempts to show that allegedly Russia controlled media spread false stories for political purpose – by providing a false media story. The purpose of the NYT doing such is yours to guess.

The sourcing of that Page 1 story is as weak as its content. It starts with claiming that opponents of Sweden joining NATO must be somehow Russia related and are spreading false stories:
”Not mentioned in the story (in New York Times) are:
•the systematic, extensive U.S government slanting of news through the Broadcasting Board of Governors and Voice of America and RFE/RL as well as through dozens of U.S. military financed ”news” sites and social media fakes
•the extensive cooperation between the New York Times and the CIA with spying as well as with manipulating foreign news
•the acknowledged spreading of false stories about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq an behalf of the Bush administration by the NY Times itself.

As Carl Bernstein described in his book about the CIA and the media:

Among the executives who lent their cooperation to the [Central Intelligence] Agency were Williarn Paley of the Columbia Broadcasting System, Henry Luce of Tirne Inc., Arthur Hays Sulzberger of the New York Times, Barry Bingham Sr. of the LouisviIle Courier‑Journal, and James Copley of the Copley News Service. Other organizations which cooperated with the CIA include the American Broadcasting Company, the National Broadcasting Company, the Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps‑Howard, Newsweek magazine, the Mutual Broadcasting System, the Miami Herald and the old Saturday Evening Post and New York Herald‑Tribune.
By far the most valuable of these associations, according to CIA officials, have been with the New York Times, CBS and Time Inc.

Bernstein shows that the NYT cooperation with the U.S. government and its intelligence agencies was very extensive and continues uninterrupted up to today.
