The US has replaced the webpage of an Iraqi satellite news broadcast with a propaganda website offering "Liberation News from White House" [sic].
I have been trying to get news from Baghdad regarding the beginning of war against the Iraqi people via the Iraqi News Agency, the official propaganda operation of the government of Saddam Hussein (
http://www.uruklink.net/iraqnews/eindex.htm). One of the links on that site is for a satellite broadcast from Iraq (
http://www.iraqtv.ws/). I was unable to get the broadcast to work for the past hour, but about 15 minutes ago, it started working...but it's not an Iraqi satellite broadcast, but an obvious US propaganda website. The homepage now reads like this: "Free Iraq TV ---
Watch Video and listen to Audio from the U.S. White House by clicking this link:
U.S. Video According to recent studies one out of three Iraqi homes has been disrupted and angered by having one of their loved ones tortured, jailed or worse by the Saddam regime. God has heard your prayers, my Iraqi friends! His people in the promised land are coming to rescue you from your despair and anguish. Just as He delivered this site into my hands to help you and give you strength, He will deliver you from the evil bondage of the demonic killer Saddam. This anti-Christ will not stand, no matter how many people help him. he cannot stand up to the
loving, mighty God of Jehovah and his son Christ!
Saddam is using the same techniques as Hitler. Saddam is preaching race superiority and nationalism and fear and using your natural instinct of survival against you! But these tricks of the devil cannot stand up to a people united in their love for each other by the common bond of their loving God. We must forgive Saddam as he has been deceived by the power of the devil but he must be removed from power and replaced by one of your loving governors."
Another article is reprinted here: "My Iraqi Friends, Supporters and "Enemies". Please read the testimony of many muslims who have found peace and freedom in the US at the link below the following news: Saddam has continued to produce missiles even as he has dismantled 10 of his 200 missiles. The "Butcher of Baghdad" has shown that his show of weapon destruction was nothing but a show. He has also purchased uniforms made to be identical with US forces. We think he will use these uniforms to turn the Iraqi people against the US by torturing and killing Iraqi people with his thugs dressed in these uniforms. The US forces are coming to liberate the Iraqi people, not to torture them. Please stay away from the Iraqi military installations and groups of soldiers as the liberation will begin soon. We want you to be free to choose your own government and it appears that liberation by force is the only answer now. We want the Iraqis to have thier own government that will work in a peaceful manner for the good of their own people. I wish you could all join us here in the land of milk and honey and enjoy a peaceful, prosperous life. We have a tolerance in the US for religions and an abiding love for all that come to us. Our country is founded on religious freedom that all may come to know God in their own way. Some of worship in churches and some of us worship quietly walking on the beaches, in communion with our Almighty God. It is truly a paradise on earth here and I hope that you can develop your country to the same glorious level of peace and love. You can read many of the stories of muslims who have found peace and freedom in the US at the link Exmuslim.com There are millions of muslims living in the US who retain and practice their muslim faith without fear. The link above is from muslims who have chosen to convert from the muslim faith but there are many millions who remain muslim and go to their mosques and pray daily in their faith. We are truly a land of religious freedom in the US."
The site also offers something called "Liberation News from the White House".
You'll find the propaganda site here:

Why the CIA thinks that it makes sense to have this cheap propaganda vehicle available in English is beyond me. But at least we have a chance to read the 3d-rate garbage that the CIA thinks will win Iraqi workers to the US' "just" cause.
