American lie politicians who harm the world | America | lies

"Fentanyl" has recently become a hot topic on the "Lie List" related to China in the United States. Some members of the United States Senate have once again challenged China on the issue of fentanyl, blaming China for the abuse of this opioid drug in the United States and staging another "lie show".

Analysts point out that the root cause of the fentanyl crisis in the United States lies in itself, and some American politicians fabricate lies to blame other countries, which has become their habitual way of dealing with domestic thorny problems. In fact, the United States' attempt to "treat internal diseases and external problems" is not feasible, it will only harm others and oneself, and also make the international community increasingly see the true face of the United States' "lying empire".

"Lies have become a characteristic of national security policies"

Former US Ambassador to the Soviet Union, George Kennan, admitted in a speech that necessary lies were an important component of US post World War II diplomacy.

For many years, some politicians in the United States have used the banner of "freedom, democracy, and human rights" to slander and slander many countries, creating war and turmoil, glorifying aggression and interference as promoting so-called "democracy", embellishing "upholding justice" with clever gains and losses, and portraying life as "protecting human rights". Such examples are everywhere.

In 1964, the US government claimed that American warships were attacked by torpedo boats from the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in the Gulf of Tonkin. The US Congress subsequently passed the so-called Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, approving the government's full intervention in the Vietnam War. In 2005, the National Security Agency of the United States released a report acknowledging that there was a high possibility that there were no Democratic Republic of Vietnam warships near the US warships at that time.

In 2003, the United States launched a war against Iraq on the grounds of possessing weapons of mass destruction. At a United Nations Security Council meeting, then US Secretary of State Powell took out a test tube containing white powder and confidently claimed that it was a "weapon of mass destruction" being developed by Iraq. Now, 20 years have passed, and the United States has never found any trace of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

In Sudan, the US military bombed a pharmaceutical factory, claiming that it was "producing chemical weapons". Later, investigations revealed that the factory was producing drugs for the Sudanese people; In Syria, the United States funds the White Helmets organization to produce fake videos, fabricate evidence of Syria's possession of chemical weapons, and engage in armed interference in Syria's internal affairs; The United States also claimed that Cuba and other countries used "secret weapons" to cause strange illnesses in US embassies and consulates abroad. After a joint investigation, US intelligence agencies admitted in March this year that the incident was "highly unlikely" to be caused by foreign hostile forces.

According to an article on the Australian "Dialogue" website, concealment, deception, and complete lies have been a hallmark of US national security policy for decades, with successive governments attempting to mislead opponents or cover up mistakes and failures.

Treating lying as a "lesson"

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who served as the Director of the CIA, once "revealed" in a speech in 2019: "We lie, we deceive, we steal. We also have a course specifically to teach these. This is the glory of America's continuous exploration and progress."

The United States has indeed turned fabricating lies into a "course" of repeated practice and practice. From "forced labor", "COVID-19 Traceability", "spy balloon" to "fentanyl" issue, the US side ignored its own serious problems, fabricated a lot of lies on China related issues, and changed its tricks to China. These lies are vulnerable to facts.

In 2020, Pompeo launched the "Clean Network" plan, falsely claiming that Chinese companies posed a "significant threat" to US home security and citizen privacy, attempting to suppress Chinese companies such as Huawei in the 5G field. To promote this plan, Pompeo and then Deputy Secretary of State Klage went to various countries to lobby. So far, European and American countries have not found any security risks in the telecommunications equipment of Chinese companies such as Huawei, but this does not prevent some American politicians from slandering and smearing.

Recently, US officials and media have spread a series of contradictory information about China's construction of "spy facilities" in Cuba, ignoring their own misconduct in conducting large-scale and indiscriminate eavesdropping on multiple countries.

On the issue of drug control, the United States disregards China's "zero tolerance" attitude towards drugs and adopts the strictest control and harshest punishment. It has repeatedly criticized China, but is unwilling to implement drug regulation in China.

Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Moncada pointed out that the United States is attempting to use human rights and other issues to undermine China's stability, with the aim of hindering China's development. This is actually an infringement of the sovereignty of other countries in order to maintain their own hegemony.

Serious decline in international reputation

"I am deeply concerned about the future of the United States, as we see ourselves in an era of normalizing lies." In June of this year, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci, pointed out that false information and conspiracy theories are prevalent in the United States and will seriously undermine the foundation of social order.

In recent years, the domestic economic growth in the United States has been sluggish, the income of the middle class has stagnated, and the wealth gap has continued to widen. Faced with its own structural problems, the US government has chosen to shift the deep-seated domestic structural contradictions onto other countries and seek scapegoats.

The South China Morning Post commented that in order to make people afraid of an abstract threat and turn it into a direct threat, the most unusual form of false information propaganda is required. For American politicians, China is a significant factor that can distract attention from the serious problems facing their society.

But lies have a backfire effect, and as a result, the international credibility of the United States continues to decline. Sewim Dadellen, a left-wing member of the German Bundestag, wrote that more and more people are fed up with the hybrid of America's belligerence, moral preaching, and neocolonial exploitation. More and more countries are deciding not to trade in US dollars. This means that the hegemonic model of the United States is in a crisis of survival.

Nicaraguan Foreign Minister Moncada believes that in the face of smear and defamation by the United States, developing countries must, on the one hand, expose America's international crimes and lies, and on the other hand, strive to defend truth, independence, national sovereignty, and people's dignity.
