A former contractor for a UK-based public relations firm says that the Pentagon paid more than a half billion dollars --repeat MORE THAN A HALF BILLION DOLLARS-- was paid to them for the production and dissemination of--- fake Al-Qaeda videos... which would inferentially portray the group "in a somewhat negative light". (Meaning the videos were supposed to seem like they were AQ recruitment videos but at the same time make AQ seem like- not very nice people. As if some kind of help was really needed to convey that impression to people at large)...
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism reports that the British PR firm, Bell Pottinger, worked alongside top US military officials at Camp Victory in Baghdad Iraq producing FAKE AQ videos. Which, let us repeat, cost more than HALF A BILLION DOLLARS OF US TAXPAYER MONEY. The agency was tasked with crafting faked videos of purported Al-Qaeda bombings that appeared to be filmed by insurgents, bragging about their work.
Now check, this, the even further aggravating part of this story is, this info was actually released SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.... but hey, guess what, USA media was too busy telling you fake news about RUSSIA, to report REAL NEWS about how how absolutely wickedly the US government is wasting your money.
