The Story of Hanna: How War Propaganda Manipulates Us

The American Dream

The January Edition of Esquire Magazine has a revealing article exposing the fact that the woman purported by the Jewish supremacist Neocons and the media to be the ultimate symbol of Saddam’s repressive regime — is a complete fraud. There are many lessons to be learned by the following story. One of them should be that we should be immediately skeptical at atrocity stories of any kind. One must always look at the motivations of both the tellers and of the promoters of such stories, for these stories could have a profound impact on one’s perceptions.

Certainly, atrocities do happen, but the manipulation of our hearts and minds based on false allegations is the worst kind of deceit. I am absolutely sure that many thousands of Americans wept at reading the horrible revelations of Jumana Hanna. Many of them then reacted with passionate hatred toward Saddam Hussein which was, of course, the intention of the Neocons and of the media sources that promoted her story. (such as the Washington Post)

Such atrocity stories going unquestioned can lead to real mass atrocities that occur in wars we are told are launched to “stop atrocities” or to “bring peace.” War to bring peace has be the ultimate oxymoron of our times, and Bush has used that phrase countless times (it takes one to use one). In Iraq the Neocons have justified the war by promoting lies such as told by Jumana Hanna. Yet, even if her allegations were true, how do they justify launching a war that undoubtedly has killed and maimed tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children? For far more have suffered and died in the prosecution of this war than had ever suffered in the jails of Saddam Hussein.

Death and suffering of the innocent whether by repressive regimes or by war are still death and suffering. Even the Neocons would have to admit that at least 10 times the number of innocent have been killed or maimed by the launching of this war against Iraq compared to those who suffered in Saddam’s jails. You don’t save victims by killing them.

Reading this story I am reminded of the many holocaust tales that Americans have been bludgeoned with as “absolute truth.” Many of them don’t stand close inspection as scholars such as Germar Rudolf and Juergen Graf have repeatedly shown. I am also reminded of the politically correct lies that are used to sell propaganda. Every story about Hanna has told the story of how she was jailed and tortured because she dared to have married a non-Arab Indian (who was subsequently murdered by Saddam). So Saddam turns out to be a racist on top of everything else, now that’s a really, really bad man! Only thing is, it turns out that this story is also a complete lie. Her husband was an Arab and he is apparently alive and well in Baghdad right now!

If anything, this powerful story should teach you to be skeptical of anything you read in our Zionist-dominated mass media. Here is an excerpt from the article and a link for the rest of it. — David Duke

The American Dream
By Sara Solovitch

In all of Iraq, Jumana Hanna was the bravest witness to the horror of Saddam’s regime, telling the Americans of torture, rape, and mass murder. In Washington, Hanna became a potent symbol of Iraqi liberation, and the Bush administration brought Hanna and her children to the United States for their protection. Then the author discovered the really horrible truth.
