How U.S.-&-Allied ‘Historians’ and ‘Journalists’ Routinely Lie

10 April 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

In any empire (such as the U.S. and its colonies), lies about ‘news’ are constantly essential, but even more essential is lies about ‘history’; and, so, this — lies — is how the populace, the public, the ‘citizens’ (the subjects) the voters, the domestic victims both in the imperial country, and in each one of its colonies, are controlled by the Deep State. (There are two types of Deep State: in an aristocracy, or nation that is controlled by its wealthiest, it is the extreme wealthiest who control the Government; in a theocracy or nation that is controlled by its clergy, it is the leading clerics. Of course, in a democracy — if any exists — there is no Deep State; democracy can’t exist if there is a Deep State. Every empire has a Deep State — it is either the aristocracy or the theocracy. Any empire that calls itself a democracy is lying, in order to deceive its subjects and foreigners. All of this information is basic in order to be able to understand political reality, at any time throughout at least the past 3,000 years.)

A good example of a lie about news, was described by the great investigative journalist Vanessa Beeley in the first two minutes of an interview of her by the superb “UKColumn” site, “Fake news stoking regional war, Trump and Iran, Israel and Turkey - who will blink first?”, in which Trump is presented saying “We’re having direct talks with Iran,” to be held “on Saturday.” He said there that neither he nor Netanyahu want to invade Iran, and Reuters headined, correctly, that “Trump says US, Iran set for direct nuclear talks; Tehran says they will be indirect”, and Beeley continued by presenting many headlines from British and Israeli ‘news’-media that were presuming favorably for the Israel-U.S. side by conveying the false impression that Iran and Hezbollah are weaker than they actually are. She also said that all of this is consistent with the norm that before a U.S.-and-allied invasion, its Governments and press under-estimate the presumed enemy’s forces (that the U.S. regime wants to defeat). There is then a plug for the UKColumn site, which mentions their “Karl W. B. Schwarz Joins UK Column to Dissect the Official 9/11 Narrative — Part 2”. Schwartz is a former Republican Party insider, and he was President and CEO of Patmos Nanotechnologies, which he now owns as Rokkors Nanotechnologies GmbH, and in this video, about the 9/11 attacks, he shows the nearest-ever video of the second plane hitting the World Trade Center (United Airlines Flight 175 from Boston, the one that hit the South Tower at 9:03 A.M.), a video that had never been published online before 2023, and it clearly shows (at 15:00) that that plane was “NOT Boeing 767 but 737” and it “didn’t come to New York City; it went to Europe.” And (18:37) “The wingspan of a 757 is 75% of the face of that building, and the wingspan of a 737 is just a little over 50%, and … so that’s not a 757.” The famous still of the “Boeing 767 image” immediately prior to that hit, is an inserted CGI (Computer Graphics Image). And among the debris was photoed a plane’s engine combustion chamber, which is from a 737. Furthermore, the Pentagon was allegedly hit by a Boeing 757 (American Airlines Flight 77 from Dulles), but (21:37) on the Pentagon’s lawn was an extremely thick reinforced window-glass, but it’s “not a window of a Boeing 757” but “a canopy window from an 83 Scout” intelligence-gathering plane, which is built “to carry a nuke.” Also on the Pentagon's lawn was a part of a wing that is “not part of a wing from any 757 ever built,” and a severed wing was not from a 757, but “probably an 83 Scout.” Also on the lawn was a fan rotor hub that’s not a fan rotor hub of any 757 but probably of an 83 Scout but which was also used on the A3 Sky Warrior. He says (28:20) “The officiial story is basically just a big lie.” Then he points out that “no structural steel building has ever suffered global collapse, either before or after 9/11, for any reason other than controlled demolition” and is referring there only to skyscrapers — and the statement is true. And (at 32:23) a photo taken inside a WTC tower shortly before 9/11 shows a sealed cardboard box marked “BB 18,” which are “devices used in controlled demolitions.” A high-level investigation, of the photo of the person there who was working to set up the BB-18s, concluded that with a probability of 95%, it was “the chief operating officer of the World Trade Center Security.” He was “a weapons and explosives expert.” Schwartz assumes that he was highly paid to set up the WTC towers for 9/11 and is protected by the masterminds. However, that person’s name isn’t even mentioned. The head of security at the WTC was the former FBI agent John O’Neill, who was the subject of PBS Frontline’s 3 October 2002 two-hour documentary "The Man Who Knew” (transcript here). However, he became Chief of Security only 19 days prior to 9/11. (See page 19 here.) And he doesn’t look like the person who was shown in that photo. Therefore, at 3:50 PM Eastern time in U.S., on April 10th, I asked UK Column whom that photo was showing. (I shall update this report if they reply.)

A good example of a lie about history, was described by Peter Haenseler on April 9th at Sonar21, headlining “Trump-Putin: a deal, Yalta or no deal?”, and he pointed out that despite what virtually all ‘historians’ in The West say — which is that Stalin violated the Yalta Agreement, but Truman and Churchill (and their successors) did not — Truman and Churchill violated the Agreement, and Stalin did not:

Many commentators speak of a new Yalta Conference, using this meeting as a comparison to the negotiations now taking place, usually without any proper understanding of history.

This conference took place in the vacation residence of Russian Tsar Nicholas II in Yalta, Crimea, between February 4 and 11, 1945, when the outcome of the war in Europe was a foregone conclusion. The “Big Three” (Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill) discussed and agreed on many points. Some of these were adhered to by the parties, others are concealed today, bent or not adhered to at all. The original text of the Yalta Conference Agreement of February 11, 1945.

In addition to the reorganization of Europe and the founding of the UN, I believe that two points that are regularly omitted were of great importance. The substantial reparation payments to the Soviet Union, which the parties agreed on in principle in this paper, were not carried out or were not carried out sufficiently. Furthermore, many people are not aware that the Americans urgently needed help from the Russians to defeat the Japanese.

Stalin kept his word

In Yalta, Stalin expressed his willingness to enter the war against the Japanese within three months after the victory against Germany and to confront the Japanese in Manchuria. In return, the Russians received Sakhalin and part of the Kuril Islands. The Russians kept their word, began the offensive with over 1.5 million soldiers to the day and overran the Japanese. The Japanese were ready to surrender weeks before the American atomic bombs were dropped on Japan because of this Russian invasion; the only condition was that the Tenno – the Japanese Emperor Hirohito – would keep his throne. The myth that the Second World War was ended by the Americans dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki persists to this day. I refer to my comments in my article “Bloodbaths change the world – Part 1” on this topic, which also reports on the Potsdam Conference of July/August 1945. After the capitulation, the Russians withdrew from Manchuria as agreed – they could have kept this territory without any problems. But Stalin kept his word.

The Americans fleeced the Russians – again and again

The Russians were ripped off at the latest with the inauguration of Harry Truman. Harry Truman was the first conspicuous puppet of the Deep State. The fact that he was chosen as Vice President at all was a scandal, because the incumbent Vice President Henry Wallace would have been elected by an overwhelming majority for Roosevelt’s fourth term; Roosevelt also wanted him, but the puppet Truman was installed with a smear theater that would suit a banana republic. More on this in my article “Bloodbaths change the world – Part 1”.

President Truman completed a turnaround towards Russia within days. The Cold War began, the Russians were left out in the cold after the war and declared the new enemy. Germany was gobbled up, industrially rebuilt and rearmed, partly through the Marshall Plan. War criminals and former Nazis were integrated into politics and the Bundeswehr and post-war aid to Russia was canceled.

The public is aware, for example, that many Nazis were rehabilitated after the war (e.g. Manstein). However, the fact that war criminals of the worst magnitude – such as those sentenced to death in the so-called Einsatzgruppen trial – were for the most part released between 1951 and 1958 is deliberately omitted. This behavior of the Germans – under the knowledgeable guidance of the US – is partly responsible for the fact that Germans today completely lack an understanding of history and that German politicians and the media are once again inciting hatred against Russia and Russians. The parents and grandparents of this generation of haters will probably be turning in their graves every day, because they know where this hate speech can lead. I myself am at a loss for words.

This strategy was continued by the Americans until a few weeks ago and it was the US that provoked a military conflict with Russia since the fall of the Berlin Wall (NATO eastward expansion; Georgia, Maidan, Minsk I/II and, in my opinion, direct military conflict against Russia).

US aggression against Russia has thus been a recurring theme throughout history since the end of the Second World War, a world war which, it should be noted, the Russians won both in Europe and on whose help the US relied against the Japanese.

The Russian leadership is well aware of this and has every reason not to trust the Americans at all. This is evident from the behavior of the Russians. …

Many people in the West still believe today that the Americans won the Second World War because they defeated Hitler and Japan. However, this is by no means true. There are two ways of looking at how much a country contributed to the victory against Hitler. You can look at the active side, i.e. how many German soldiers were killed and by whom: The Soviet forces killed 76% of all German soldiers, all other Allies together (France, Great Britain, the United States, etc.) 24%. If you look at the passive side, i.e. how much blood the individual countries gave for the victory, the weight is even more striking, with the casualty figures for Russia shown on Statista showing 24 million instead of 27 million. …

Further figures from an article by René Zittlau impressively illustrate the strikingly higher war burden of the Russians – see “The US is also rewriting history”

Nevertheless, Hollywood cements the American narrative brilliantly.

It’s not JUST “Hollywood,” but also ‘historians’ from schools such as Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc.

As I have documented in my “How the Cold War, Which Never Actually Stopped, Actually Started”, Truman made the decision on 25 July 1945, to start the Cold War. The history on this matter is clear that Stalin did not. But Western ‘historians’ allege that it is unclear which side started it — they lie. As I documented there, Truman did it under the influence of his personal hero, General Eisenhower, and also of Churchill. Those ‘historians’ say it’s uncertain who started the Cold War, though the historical evidence is incontrovertible that Truman — and he alone — made this decison. He surrounded himself with neoconservatives (proponents of creating and expanding an American empire), but the two neocons that mattered the most to him were Eisenhower and Churchill, and Truman took their advice because he was, himself, a neocon — which is the exact opposite of what FDR was. And Truman quickly replaced all of FDR’s Cabinet and advisors. Truman privately despised FDR. FDR designed the U.N., but Truman controlled its Charter so that it wouldn’t get in the way. The ‘historians’ ignore all of these crucial facts, so that the public won’t understand the world that we are in. However, all of the CIA’s many coups that replaced democratically elected Governments, and installed long-term dictatorships, such as in Iran (1953) and Guatemala (1954), made clear that the Truman-created CIA is imperialistic instead of anything democratic. The latest big coup-operation was in Ukraine, by Obama and his chief operative Victoria Nuland, culminating in February 2014. (USAID, NED, and other U.S.-Government-led NGOs, largely replaced the CIA on that one.)

America’s billionaires back and fund neoconservatism, so their ‘historians’ are an indispensable part of their regime’s propaganda-operations for what Eisenhower — who co-created with Truman the military-industrial complex but then condemned it three days before leaving office so that only his successors would get the blame for it — called the “military-industrial complex.” Their deceit is both deep and pervasive — and non-stop.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
