TNT Radio host Patrick Henningsen speaks with Dr Piers Robinson founder of the Organisation for Propaganda Studies and editor of Focus on Propaganda, to discuss the recent reemergence of 9/11 in the news following Saudi Arabia's lapsed petrodollar agreement and why the Saudi angle in 9/11 is likely a red herring, like similar distractions like COVID's ‘lab leak' theory, and the Ukrainian sail boat plot with Nordstream. Also, is NATO preparing a large false flag event in Europe, shades of Operation GLADIO – in order to kick start an escalation against Russia?

A new report offers the most thorough exposé to date of the OPCW's Syria cover-up scandal, in which the world's top chemical watchdog manipulated an investigation to baselessly accuse Syria of a chemical weapons attack in the town of Douma. In April 2018, after dozens of dead victims were filmed at the scene, the US, UK, and France alleged that the Syrian government had dropped gas cylinders on Douma and launched airstrikes in purported retaliation. But leaks from inside the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons show that international inspectors found no evidence of a chemical attack, raising the possibility that the incident was staged by the insurgents who controlled Douma at the time. The OPCW team's findings were suppressed and replaced with unsupported conclusions that aligned with the US-led narrative. When two veteran OPCW inspectors who deployed to Syria for the probe challenged the manipulation, they were silenced and later publicly defamed. The report is authored by the Berlin Group 21, which is comprised of founding OPCW Director General Jose Bustani, former senior UN official Hans Von Sponeck, Princeton law professor Richard Falk, and academic Piers Robinson of the Organization for Propaganda Studies. Its release follows the Brazilian government's recent public shift in support of accountability over the OPCW's cover-up scandal. The report was submitted to members of the European Parliament as a contribution to discussions around the OPCW. Aaron Maté speaks to Von Sponeck and Robinson about their new report, as well as the ongoing effort to challenge the OPCW's Douma deception and seek justice for the Douma victims.

He has been on my podcast before. This time, however, Piers focused more on, what's known as, the fog of war, which is essentially the uncertainty in situational awareness experienced by participants in military operations. In other words, when there is a war, there is mass propaganda. How do we know what is true? Please support my work.
Support Pushback at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/aaronmate New reports explore how the OPCW suppressed findings that undermined US-led allegations of a chemical weapons attack in Douma, Syria in April 2018. Dr. Piers Robinson and Aaron Maté discuss the latest revelations on how the OPCW censored science. Senior OPCW officials doctored the original report; erased the conclusions of expert toxicologists who ruled out chlorine gas as the cause of death; and thwarted the key investigate area of forensic pathology, which could have helped determine how the dozens of civilian victims in Douma lost their lives. Instead of explaining the extensive suppression, OPCW Director General Fernando Arias has avoided questions; offered false excuses; and smeared the veteran scientists who challenged the cover-up from within.

Dr. Piers Robinson is the co-founder of the Organization for Propaganda Studies-- which conducts rigorous academic analysis on propaganda and its manipulative methods of persuasion. He is also the founder of the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media. In the past his research has analyzed the propaganda surrounding 911, the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the White Helmets and the false claims about Syria's use of chemical weapons, and what has been termed as the CNN Effect -- news coverage and televised images as a means to exercise foreign policy and military interventions. Much of Dr Robinson's current attention has been on propaganda behind official Covid-19 pandemic narratives. Piers holds a doctorate in communications and the media from the University of Bristol, and has taught at the universities of Liverpool, Manchester and most recently at Sheffield University where he held the chair for Politics and Society.
