Atrocity fabrication – the invention and reporting of atrocities committed by an adversary without knowledge that they ever occurred – has a centuries-long history at the heart of propaganda and power politics as an effective means of moving public and international opinion. Its use can provide pretext for a range of hostile measures against its targets, transforming in the public eye wars of unprovoked aggression into wars of liberation of the oppressed, or turning blockades to starve enemy civilians into humane efforts to pressure abusive governments under the moralistic label of sanctions. As it plays a large and growing role in global conflict in the 21st century understanding atrocity fabrication and the consistent means by and ends to which it has been used has become crucial to comprehending geopolitical events in the present day. This book elucidates the seldom explored but central role played by atrocity fabrication in eleven major conflicts from the 1950s to the present day: from Korea, Vietnam and Cuba during the Cold War to Iraq, Libya and the emerging Sino-U.S. cold war more recently. It highlights the many variations of atrocity fabrication, the strong consistencies in how atrocity fabrication is used, and the consequences it has for the populations of the targeted countries, The book demonstrates the roles played by media and both government and non-governmental organizations in misleading the public as to the actuality of these highly publicized events. The emerging trend towards this mode of action, and the deep implications this has for world order, make an understanding of its history particularly critical

During the 2016 presidential election, many younger voters repudiated Hillary Clinton because of her husband’s support for mass incarceration, banking deregulation and free-trade agreements that led many U.S. jobs to be shipped overseas. Warmonger: How Clinton’s Malign Foreign Policy Launched the Trajectory from Bush II to Biden, shows that Clinton’s foreign policy was just as bad as his domestic policy. Cultivating an image as a former anti-Vietnam War activist to win over the aging hippie set in his early years, as president, Clinton bombed six countries and, by the end of his first term, had committed U.S. troops to 25 separate military operations, compared to 17 in Ronald Reagan’s two terms. Clinton further expanded America’s covert empire of overseas surveillance outposts and spying and increased the budget for intelligence spending and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a CIA offshoot which promoted regime change in foreign nations. The latter was not surprising because, according to CIA operative Cord Meyer Jr., Clinton had been recruited into the CIA while a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, and as Governor of Arkansas in the 1980s he had allowed clandestine arms and drug flights to Nicaraguan counter-revolutionaries (Contras) backed by the CIA to be taken from Mena Airport in the western part of the state. Rather than being a time of tranquility when the U.S. failed to pay attention to the gathering storm of terrorism, as New York Times columnist David Brooks frames it, the Clinton presidency saw rising tensions among the U.S., China and Russia because of Clinton’s malign foreign policies, and U.S. complicity in terrorist acts. In so many ways, Clinton’s presidency set the groundwork for the disasters that were to follow under Bush II, Obama, Trump, and Biden. It was Clinton—building off of Reagan—who first waged a War on Terror ridden with double standards, one that adopted terror tactics, including extraordinary rendition, bombing and the use of drones. It was Clinton who cried wolf about human rights abuses and the need to protect beleaguered peoples from genocide to justify military intervention in a post-Cold War age. And it was Clinton’s administration that pressed for regime change in Iraq and raised public alarm about the mythic WMDs—all while relying on fancy new military technologies and private military contractors to distance US shady military interventions from the public to limit dissent.

A B Abrams' book is the first to specifically focus on the global conflict for influence between China and the United States and offers groundbreaking insights into the factors that will determine the outcome of their new cold war, and the radically different advantages both sides have.The ability to exercise influence across continents through trade and empire has played an increasingly central role in determining great powers' geopolitical standings since the onset of the colonial era. In both the World Wars and in the Cold War, ensuring that the bulk of the global economy contributed to the war efforts of the established powers, while isolating the rising powers that challenged them, was key to determining the conflicts' outcomes. China and America's Spheres of Influence places the current multi-faceted contest for global influence in historical context, highlighting how and to what ends both countries have been able to leverage different kinds of influence — whether sway over oil producing countries, a larger global military footprint, or control over key financial institutions.This book divides an assessment of the global Sino-American contest for influence in to eight chapters respectively focused on: international trade, reserve currency status, and sanctions; defence, military footprints and arms markets; international organisations from the UN and IMF to BRICS and RCEP; Western policies to influence former colonies and neutral states; the struggle for influence in Africa; competing influences over the Arab Gulf States, oil markets and global Islam; the contest for influence through high tech, from the struggle over Huawei to bifurcation; and finally, the contest for influence over Russia and the implications of war in Ukraine for global alignments.

The promotion and protection of human rights is a pillar of the United Nations, enshrined in the Charter, the international bill of rights, elaborated in General Assembly resolutions and declarations, and buttressed by monitoring mechanisms and regional human rights courts. After WWII the world demanded respect for collective and individual rights and freedoms, including the right to live in peace, i.e.freedom from fear and want, the right to food, water, health, shelter, belief and expression. Human dignity was understood as an inalienable entitlement of every member of the human family, rights that were juridical. justiciable and enforceable. It did not take long for these noble goals to be politicized. Many States systematically weaponize human rights for geopolitics. A “human rights industry” operates at all levels and instrumentalizes values with the complicity of diplomats, politicians, non-governmental organizations, academics, journalists, -independent experts-, rapporteurs, secretariat members and media conglomerates. This book addresses the decisive role played by major governmental and private agencies such as the National Endowment for Democracy, USAID, elite think tanks, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, World Economic Forum and others in shaping a “perception” of human rights that primarily serves geopolitical interests. Major non-governmental organizations that once were truly independent, including Amnesty and HRW, today belong to the leading narrative managers. The voting record in the General Assembly and Human Rights Council by China, Russia, the United States, Canada, UK, EU, OIC, Group of 77, Non-aligned movement, etc. documents who supports and who subverts human rights. Why do the Council and NGOs practice double-standards and allow States to brazenly lie, blackmail and bully weaker States? Under the pretext of providing humanitarian assistance, lethal military interventions are conducted, e.g. in Libya, emblematic example of how the noble idea of the “responsibility to protect” was corrupted. Propagandistic use of the words “human rights”, “democracy”, “rule of law”, "freedom" - demean them and subvert rational discourse. Drawing on more than four decades of working in the field of human rights as UN staff member, rapporteur, consultant, professor and NGO president, Alfred de Zayas examines how the tools of implementation of human rights serve to entrench political narratives promoted by the “industry”.

According to Serpa (in MDPI encyclopedia) [3], Society 5.0 can be realized as a concept and a guide for social development, with a profound impact on current societal structures in multiple levels. Society 5.0 achieves advanced convergence between cyberspace and physical space, enabling AI-based on big data and robots to perform or support as an agent the work and adjustments that humans have done up to now. Deguchi et al., [4] define Society 5.0 as a highly intelligent society based on generation, processing, exchange of data, and more specifically knowledge, through the connection of the physical environment with the cyberspace. Achieving Society 5.0 with these attributes would enable the world to realize economic development while solving key social problems. It would additionally contribute to achieving the SDGs established by the United Nations. Despite the differences in formulation of the names of these periods and societies, it is obvious that each of them became a basis for step like growth in developed society; at, specific time periods, scale, character and depth of these changes are different in different countries. Consequently, to address the aims of the book, it seeks exploratory, empirical, interpretive, and theoretical research built on either primary or secondary data. The approaches suggested are not exhaustive and can be extended upon by the researchers. In addition, the book will contribute towards the UN’s sustainable development goals. In support of UN’s efforts towards a more digital economy, this book aims to debate and discuss the history, genesis, future, opportunities, and challenges of transitioning to Society 5.0. and provides a holistic perspective on a variety of topics special topics which contribute towards the optimal attainment of the SDGs, particularly in terms of socialdimensions. Finally, this book provides a platform for researchers, academics, and professionals to the transition and technological enablers of industrial revolutions through empirical or exploratory studies that use a variety of innovative approaches. The target audience of the book includes researchers and scholars who will find in its comprehensive knowledge about industry 4, industry 5, society 5 and its contribution to economic growth and sustainable development goals (SDGs). Furthermore, the book’s secondary target audience are teachers, managers, strategists, professionals, governments, and policymakers.

On June 29, 1950, the U.S. launched its first ever air strikes on the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, marking the start of what would become the longest conflict in history between two industrial powers. Four decades later, the end of the Cold War in 1989 and the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991 marked the beginning of a new phase of the conflict, with a new unipolar world order centered on the power of the U.S. and Western world leaving North Korea in unprecedented isolation. Now unsupported in its fight against a Western superpower intent on its destruction, the small but technologically adept and heavily militarized East Asian state would need to adopt more radical measures to ensure its security. Over the next 35 years, the conflict would transform from a period of North Korean decline in the face of tremendous economic and military pressure, to one of an ascent in its power and decline in the West as international order evolved past the unipolar era Surviving the Unipolar Era elucidates the conflict’s transformation, beginning with unprecedented U.S.-led efforts to achieve North Korea’s total collapse and elimination through maximum pressure, and ending three decades later with a subsiding of Pyongyang’s international isolation and the modernization of its economy, armed forces and nuclear deterrent. A. B. Abrams highlights how the small state has been able to hold its own in multiple standoffs with the world’s superpower, successfully weather economic sanctions, and prevent penetration of its information space, and the implications that this has had for the country, the region and the wider world. He details the strong consistency in American objectives, and the evolution of consensus across five separate administrations on how these should be pursued as the circumstances of the conflict transformed. In the context of prevailing geopolitical, economic and security trends, Abrams projects the future course of the conflict including aspects such as Western difficulties coming to terms with North Korea’s ascent, U.S. policy priorities going forward, and the growing opportunities that an emerging new global cold war is likely to provide Pyongyang.

美國人是不是可以講一套，做一套，而卻又面不改容？ 美國人是不是對同一性質之事，人家做便是十惡不赦，自己做時卻是天經地義？ 美國為利而來，為利而往，乃國之常情，本是無可厚非的。但是，美國人在對外關係是不是往往都把「美國利益」包裝成「美國價值」？ 常言道，外交活動的根本目的，是追求國家利益，亦有謂國與國之間只有永恆的利益，沒有永恆的敵人或朋友。 但是，自稱與眾不同的美國自詡推動人權外交，宣稱要把民主、自由、人權和法治帶到全世界。 正所謂聽其言而觀其行。從美國近百多年來的行為可見，美國外交的目標是要控制世界各地的市場和資源。所以，只要某個國家的政府是親美的，不論其是否獨裁專制，美國都會支持，但如果某個國家的政府是反美的，則就算是民主選舉產生的，美國也會設法把其推翻。 這幾十年來，美國打著民主的旗號來針對反美的國家或地區的政府，透過所謂「非政府組織」（尤其是「國家民主基金會」）扶植及培養當地的反對政治勢力，以民主、自由和人權之名，行改變政權之實。 面對中國的崛起，美國不能坐視它的「一哥」地位可能受到挑戰。美國正用盡全力搞亂、圍堵和打壓中國。 本書特色 美國光輝的一面，對大多數英語世界的人來說可以說是耳熟能詳。有關美國正面的書籍，更是俯拾皆是。本書不是一本美國全面之書，並無意平衡美國的光暗兩面，而是聚焦於其陰暗的一面，希望令大家（在熟悉美國光輝面的前提下）對美國有比較全面的認識，不會在主流的美國文化下以偏概全、以點蓋面。 本書之目的是希望引發讀者的興趣，看完之後可能有意猶未盡的感覺（「到喉唔到肺」），亦可能有一點疑真疑假的迷惘。在西方主流教育下長大的人，對於書中將會講述的美國，可能比較陌生。作者希望人們讀過此書後，對美國多方面產生好奇，並進一步去尋找更多的事實和意見，然後經過獨立思考，作出自己的判斷。 本書紅色的部分，是希望透過提出問題，激發讀者的興趣和思考。

本書揭露20世紀以來 11 場重大戰爭中的媒體操弄手法，包括了： 美國如何利用媒體發動戰爭 西方媒體如何塑造敵國形象 韓戰與媒體宣傳 波斯灣戰爭的輿論操作 新疆問題與國際輿論 利比亞戰爭背後的媒體戰 天安門事件的真相與爭議 北韓形象塑造的歷史演變 如果你對國際政治、戰爭史、媒體研究以及地緣政治等有興趣，絕對能在本書中，更深刻地了解假新聞（Fake News）、媒體操弄（Media Manipulation）、戰爭宣傳（War Propaganda）、輿論戰（Public Opinion Warfare）、捏造暴行（Fabricated Atrocities）、國際衝突（International Conflicts）、信息戰（Information Warfare）等各種戰略，是如何環環相扣，影響全球輿論與世界秩序。 本書列舉十一個近現代較知名的國際衝突及戰事案例，分析各案例發生的前因後果，以及案例中主要參與的國家、組織或個人，在主流媒體中的形象。而這些形象帶給國際社會的觀感，往往就是導致國際社會對於該場戰爭或衝突，給予支持或反對的主要依據。這些輿論形象的呈現，對歷史發展與往後國際政治環境的形塑，有著不可小覷的影響力。 同時，在十一個被捏造暴行國家的案例中，詳述捏造出來的暴行如何為實質的侵略行為鋪路，導致被誣陷國家的人民在遭遇戰爭和軍事介入時，面臨到的真正暴行；而這些真實暴行的罪惡程度，往往遠超出當初西方勢力透過媒體所捏造出來的虛假暴行。 第一章 冷戰初期的古巴與越南 分別描述了美國如何在侵略古巴及出兵越南之前，創造了適合美軍發起軍事行動或合理化其戰爭行為的輿論環境。而在兩場軍事行動失利後，美國又是如何透過西方媒體引導國際輿論走向，合理化其發動軍事行動的正當性。 第二章 韓戰 釐清在韓戰期間，西方盟軍事實上也曾進行過不人道的戰爭行為，或曾發起過不符合交戰規範的屠殺行為，然而西方世界最後都將這些罪行推到了敵軍身上，規避原有責任。另外，關於韓戰期間美軍及西方國家戰俘宣稱曾遭受過的虐待，作者也嘗試以各方資料查證是否屬實。 第三章 1989年的北京和天安門廣場 從中國共產黨取得中國大陸政權，並開始與西方民主資本陣營開始對峙講起，指出目前西方主流媒體對於六四天安門期間，中共政權曾發動過大規模血腥鎮壓的描述或許存在誇大嫌疑，並以蒐集到的資料，試圖還原六四天安門事件的始末與當時實際發生的情況。章節最後分析中國與西方世界在天安門事件後的關係演變。 第四章 波斯灣戰爭 伊拉克在1990年入侵科威特的舉動與之後的壯大，讓西方世界開始對伊拉克產生戒心。指責伊拉克在入侵科威特期間曾犯下非人道暴行的「奈伊拉證詞」，更促成了美國對伊拉克發動波斯灣戰爭。然而事後各方對奈伊拉身份及其證詞真實性的質疑，連帶也讓外界開始懷疑美軍以此發動對伊拉克軍事行動的合理性。此次波斯灣軍事行動帶來的數百萬人傷亡和流離失所，更證明了捏造暴行將可能帶來的嚴重後果。 第五章 南斯拉夫內戰 簡介蘇聯解體後的南斯拉夫局勢、西方國家與前南斯拉夫成員國家之間的利益糾葛、南斯拉夫走向解體並爆發內戰的背景，最後說明北約和外國勢力介入南斯拉夫內戰所帶來的影響。 第六章 伊拉克戰爭 九一一事件爆發後，美國積極將蓋達組織與伊拉克掛勾，最終以藏匿大規模毀滅性武器（WMD）和海珊政權的所謂暴行為由，出兵伊拉克。作者在本章針對美軍當時的出兵理由提出多項質疑，同時也提出多項證據認為美國針對伊拉克政權的暴行指控存在漏洞，而以美軍為首出於「人道主義」的外國勢力介入，也對伊拉克當地人民往後的命運，產生深遠影響。 第七章 美國與北韓之間的衝突 當愈來愈多的「脫北者」在西方媒體鏡頭前亮相，北韓共產、獨裁、落後的形象透過這些脫北者的描述深植國際社會。然而當脫北者的描述被發現疑似造假、西方媒體掌握或傳播的許多北韓資料來源似乎也有問題，究竟國際社會對於北韓的認知是否足夠客觀？在南韓天安艦沉沒事件、金正恩哥哥金正男於馬來西亞機場遭到暗殺、美國學生在北韓旅遊遭拘捕，以及北韓駭進索尼影業的事件發生後，國際社會似乎有必要重新調整對北韓的認知。 第八章 北約與利比亞的戰爭 北約介入利比亞的戰爭究竟是出於真正的人道主義，抑或是出於想像中的伸張正義？作者在本章點出西方世界合理化出兵利比亞的背景，以及西方世界號稱主持公道的軍事行動，對當地居民帶來怎樣的衝擊。作者最後認為，西方世界介入利比亞的模式，或許也會是未來西方世界國家想要軍事介入他國事務的公式樣板。 第九章 敘利亞叛亂 章節開頭先描述敘利亞的政治及歷史背景，以及敘利亞與西方世界之間的矛盾。當獲得西方支持的叛軍在敘利亞起義，而敘利亞的阿薩德政權也發動武裝鎮壓，西方世界只能加強介入力道，並對敘利亞的阿薩德政權實施更緊迫的打壓，致使敘利亞的內戰至今尚未結束。 第十章 新疆與中美矛盾 新疆問題是近年國際社會用以抨擊中共政權的一大焦點。西方世界也不斷透過各種媒體管道、流亡新疆人組織等，對中共政權發起輿論譴責或抵制，並逐漸提升對新疆的聲援力度，試圖對中共政權施壓。不過這背後或許並不是單純的新疆問題，還與更廣大的中美對立，以及目前以歐美為主的西方世界霸權欲維護既有國際秩序，想要以此制衡中共政權的勢力發展有關。

Antonio Giangrande, orgoglioso di essere diverso. ODIO OSTENTAZIONE, IMPOSIZIONE E MENZOGNA. Si nasce senza volerlo. Si muore senza volerlo. Si vive una vita di prese per il culo. Tu esisti se la tv ti considera. La Tv esiste se tu la guardi. I Fatti son fatti oggettivi naturali e rimangono tali. Le Opinioni sono atti soggettivi cangianti. Le opinioni se sono oggetto di discussione ed approfondimento, diventano testimonianze. Ergo: Fatti. Con me le Opinioni cangianti e contrapposte diventano fatti. Con me la Cronaca diventa Storia. Noi siamo quello che altri hanno voluto che diventassimo. Facciamo in modo che diventiamo quello che noi avremmo (rafforzativo di saremmo) voluto diventare. Rappresentare con verità storica, anche scomoda ai potenti di turno, la realtà contemporanea, rapportandola al passato e proiettandola al futuro. Per non reiterare vecchi errori. Perché la massa dimentica o non conosce. Denuncio i difetti e caldeggio i pregi italici. Perché non abbiamo orgoglio e dignità per migliorarci e perché non sappiamo apprezzare, tutelare e promuovere quello che abbiamo ereditato dai nostri avi. Insomma, siamo bravi a farci del male e qualcuno deve pur essere diverso!
