FAKE NEWS - A HIDDEN TOOL TO DESTABLISE OPPONENTS IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICS

MEDIA DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN - A DEADLY POLITICAL WEAPON  -

The strategy of disinformation and deceptions in international politics through fake news  has become an strategic tool of super powers now  . During WW II , it existed as propaganda machinery. But in twenty first century ,in the era of digital world , when social media has become so Power full , false news reaches in all corner of the world in seconds and spread like a wild fire .It is so powerful that it affects the opinion makers , opinion builders and strategic planners very effectively.It is a source of great manipulation in making Public opinion .It also affects decision and policy makers.

IN A WAR OF FAKE NEWS , WHERE NEITHER THE AUTHENTICITY NOR THE SOURCE IS DISCLOSED , IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO FIGHT WITH . IT AFFECTS THE SOCIETY , NATION & ITS STABILITY IMMENSELY

Some of the cases are  :

1. A media storm about a fake story , that  a Russian-German girl, was reportedly  tortured by Arab migrants, shook the German society. News says it's  is a wake up call for German political elites who support flow of emigrants .The German government promptly advised the Federal Intelligence Service (BND) in coordination with the Foreign Office to check  sources of manipulation of German public opinion.One theory says since ,Germany took a leading role in the Ukraine crisis, and Germany consequent position on sanctions against Russia  make the German government a core target of disinformation.Russia denied any allegations as baseless.

2..Germany Turkey verbal duel about Terrorism - Turkey blamed Germany for supporting terrorist & separatists . Finger's were raised against Russia . Russia denied it as baseless

3. A story about a Saudi prince losing $350 million  at a casino, went viral around the world. Later on it was proved wrong .

4.As per American report that Russians arming Afghani Taliban -A American report claimed that Russia is arming the Taliban terror group in Afghanistan . Russia clarified that its  part of an American disinformation campaign in which the broadcaster is being used as a propaganda tool as per  Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman & Russia said it repeatedly . There is no truth at all .

5 .The new Ukraine Present President who was hell bent to align itself with EU by hook or crook now tried to Blackmails West with EU Membership . Said if EU delays its membership issue further , he may even think of aligning with Russia . If you don’t give us money, we’ll go to Russia. This  has appeared in a recent headline in the Russian web site , accompanied by a photograph of Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko. Is this a fake story , that Poroshenko said “If you don’t give us money, we’ll go to Russia” while meeting with EU leaders. No one knows who is behind this and how much is the truth . But it affects relations .

6.China's recent  claims India has  admitted of crossing LAC into its territory.Though India and Bhutan have repeatedly said that the area China is claiming as it's own belongs to Bhutan and not China . A stand refuted by Beijing in the midst of a lengthy and tense border dispute.India has refuted Chinese news . China is trying to pressurise India by such fake news .

7. Meddling in US & other European countries election by Russia  - In September 2015  US intelligence  noticed that some Russian hackers had infiltrated in a computer system belonging to the Democratic National Committee.It was the first sign that Moscow was attempting to meddle in the presidential election. However they were not sure whether it's somebody's adventure or govt. sponsored . In an another incident , hacking of Democratic National Committee email servers was reported and there after giving this material to Wiki Leaks, which leaked the emails in batches in the second half of 2016.

Nearly , a year later, after election , former intelligence officials themselves concluded Russia's involvement saying , it may be true and  may be multifaceted too .The ex - white house officials  further said it was  well-planned, and coordinated campaign aimed at undermining the American democracy and it's free and fair elections. But they could not produce evidence .

BUT THE QUESTION REMAINS WHETHER IT WAS  ONLY A  ADVENTURE OR MISCHIEVOUS  ACT OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR  ACT OF KREMLIN . WHATEVER IT MAY BE, RUSSIA OUT-RIGHTLY DENIED ALL THESE ALLEGATIONS SAYING ITS MERE PHOBIA . UNLESS A NEWS HAS A GROUND OR ORIGIN IT IS FAKE & MOTIVATED. PROVIDE EVIDENCE IF YOU CAN .

The effect of this fake news was , the national-security adviser in US  has to resign.Trump's son-in-law and a senior adviser, also came in the radar  of investigation .

IN FACT THESE HUE AND CRY IS BEING MADE BY THE SAME LOBBYIST WHO ONCE VOUCHED THAT SADDAM HUSSEIN  HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION'S. LATER SADDAM WAS HANGED . THESE LOBBYISTS ARE INHUMAN .THEY ONLY UNDERSTAND THE LANGUAGE OF DOLLAR ! 

Wiki Leaks founder Julian Assange once said  that the Russian government did not help him in any way. But US intelligence agencies believes Wiki Leaks has become a Kremlin propaganda tool. It's just a phobia . Is't .

Though Vladimir Putin denied all these  allegations from the very  beginning even then US anti Russian lobbyist are not satisfied .

So a news without  proof has ultimately destabilized the international relations . A real danger .Is't !
