The whole world, literally, was watching. Never before had more people seen the same news event at the same moment. An estimated two billion people or moreâa third of the speciesâsaw the attacks in real time or watched coverage in that dayâs news reports. âIf you think about the rise of terrorism since 9/11,â explained David Hazinski, the former head of the University of Georgiaâs broadcast news initiative, five years after the attacks, âitâs almost proof that terrorist[s] recognize this is a global village. Now you have the potential to reach a two and a half billion audience for your act.â

„A World Beyond Humans ?“ (96′ / ARTE / 2012) A Documentary Film By Philippe Borrel
(Uploaded on Aug 23, 2016)
Despite being invented by thinking humans, technology is advancing faster than we could have ever predicted. From robot apps to nanotechnologies, the documentary „Un Monde sans Humains ?“ („A World Beyond Humans ?“) by Philippe Borrel gives an insight into the potential excesses of technoscience. Machines have become omnipresent, but is improving our lives their only objective ?
These warnings are at the heart of this investigative documentary‘s reflection, at a cross-section of huge financial stakes, powerful lobbies and people who are sounding today‘s alarm bells. The fusion between man and machine has already started and it is high time to question where exactly does man stand in this race for progress !

Complicit Coverage
The titles of two new books about Israelâs genocide in Gaza succinctly state their shared argument: Corporate, mainstream media have been complicit in the horrific violence the Zionist state has inflicted and continues to inflict on Palestinians in Gaza. Print and online media, as well as cable news, have sold the genocide to their readers and audiences, turning reality on its head by portraying the Israeli perpetrators as victims of bloodthirsty terrorists and their Palestinian victims as bloodthirsty terrorists, terrorist sympathizers, or terrorists-to-be. As Deputy Speaker of the Knesset Nissim Vaturi said in a televised 2025 interview, âany childâ born in Gaza is âalready a terrorist from the moment of his birth.â
Adam Johnson, a media analyst and co-host of the podcast Citations Needed, and Robin Andersen, professor emerita of media studies at New Yorkâs Fordham University and contributor to various independent media, have meticulously documented how U.S. media enable Israelâs mass killings. Their reviews of print, online, and cable coverage illustrate how media have acted as virtual mouthpieces for Israelâs government and its military as well as for the U.S. State Department.
USA erwÀgen nuklearen Schlag gegen den Iran
Laut Wilkerson sitzt der eigentliche Treiber dieses Krieges sitzt nicht in Washington, sondern in Jerusalem. Benjamin Netanjahu, so Wilkerson, sei der Einzige, der den Krieg ârichtig interpretiertâ habe â nĂ€mlich als seine letzte Chance, den Iran endgĂŒltig zu erledigen.
Trump, so die Analyse, sei in eine Falle getappt â âkomplett fehlinterpretiertâ habe er den Konflikt. Und jetzt sei er gefangen: Netanjahu werde ihn nicht gehen lassen, egal wie sehr Trump einen RĂŒckzug brauche. Schon im MĂ€rz hatte Wilkerson gegenĂŒber Democracy Now gewarnt, Netanjahu sei bereit, eine Atomwaffe einzusetzen, âsollte es so schlimm werden, wie es gerade aussiehtâ.

India to Israel and back: How a fake IRGC quote on nuclear weapons reached Netanyahuâs speech
While Ynet could not determine whether Netanyahu or his inner circle directed the circulation of Vahidi‘s alleged quote, the investigation pointed „to a series of familiar markers of disinformation distribution“.
It said that Netanyahu had faced similar accusations in the past.
In September 2024, Netanyahuâs office allegedly provided the UK-based Jewish Chronicle and Germany-based Bild newspaper with false information claiming that Hamas intended to smuggle Israeli captives through the Rafah area between the Gaza Strip and Egypt to Iran.
Two Netanyahu aides are also under investigation over allegations that classified documents were leaked to influence Israeli public opinion about military operations in Rafah.
Israeli journalist exposes how fabricated Iranian nuclear quote became ânewsâ
In a piece published in Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth on August 7, Bergman detailed how the alleged remarks by Ahmad Vahidi, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), were amplified by Israeli media, Israeli political figures and US officials before eventually returning to India as a report attributed to the âIsraeli mediaâ.
Bericht ĂŒber AbsichtserklĂ€rung: Was das Memorandum zwischen Iran und USA vorsieht
Stand: 24.05.2026 âą 11:51 Uhr
Im Krieg zwischen Iran und den USA gibt es Bewegung: Nach ĂŒbereinstimmenden Medienberichten könnten sich beide Kriegsparteien in KĂŒrze auf eine Waffenruhe verstĂ€ndigen. Ein Ăberblick.
Der Krieg um die Wahrnehmung: Wie kĂŒnstliche Intelligenz beginnt, öffentliche RealitĂ€t zu formen
Hinzu kommt ein Faktor, der politisch bislang erstaunlich wenig diskutiert wird: KI-Systeme lernen, welche Inhalte besonders starke emotionale Reaktionen auslösen. Angst, Wut, Empörung und moralische Zuspitzung erzeugen Aufmerksamkeit, und Aufmerksamkeit ist die eigentliche WÀhrung digitaler Plattformen. Dadurch entsteht ein Mechanismus, der gesellschaftliche Spannungen systematisch verstÀrken kann.
Die eigentliche Gefahr liegt dabei weniger in einzelnen Falschmeldungen als in der dauerhaften VerĂ€nderung öffentlicher Wahrnehmung. Wenn Menschen permanent mit emotionalisierten, algorithmisch optimierten Inhalten konfrontiert werden, verĂ€ndert sich schrittweise die Art, wie politische RealitĂ€t wahrgenommen wird. Komplexe ZusammenhĂ€nge werden auf Schlagworte reduziert, Gegner moralisch entwertet, Unsicherheit in Feindbilder ĂŒbersetzt.
âJeder hatte Angst, was Falsches zu sagen. Jeder hatte Angst, den Job zu verlierenâ
Der Journalist Fabian Goldmann hat in seinem Buch âStaatsrĂ€sonfunk: Deutsche Medien und der Genozid in Gazaâ ĂŒber das Versagen der sogenannten deutschen âLeitmedienâ in der Berichterstattung zum Gaza-Krieg geschrieben. Im hier abgedruckten Kapitel âDruck von allen Seitenâ (im Buch Kapitel 8.6.) berichtet Goldmann ĂŒber die Angst in den Redaktionen und den Druck auf Journalisten â durch ihre Vorgesetzen, Social-Media-Kampagnen sowie israelische Regierungsvertreter und Organisationen. Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen, der zeigt, wie stark die Pressefreiheit beim Thema Israel und Gaza in Deutschland aktiv eingeschrĂ€nkt wird und wie sehr auch die Journalisten selbst darunter leiden.

A Pictureâs Worth… Digital Image Analysis and Forensics
(2007)
5 Example: Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri
As-Sahab is the video production branch of Al Qaeda. They periodically release videos designed to remind people of Al Qaedaâs existence, issue threats, recruit members, and potentially act as a covert channel for triggering terrorist cells. Many of the videos by As-Sahab appear to have been manipulated.
On 20-Dec-2006, Dr. Ayman al Zawahiri (#2 guy in Al Qaeda) released a video. USA Today covered the video release with a headline story (Figure 25).24 USA Todayâs description of the video says, âHe wore a black turban and white robe … he had a rifle behind his right shoulder that was leaning against a plain brown backdrop.â While this is a valid description of the As-Sahab video, the picture used by USA Today did not show that image. Instead, USA Today used a picture from another video, dated 28-Sept-2006. This is an example of a mislabeled image.
The picture that USA Today chose to use with the story includes many other interesting features. First, it came from the IntelCenter (www.intelcenter.com) â an organization that tracks terrorist activities. The IntelCenter placed their logo in the top-right corner of the video. However, the company name is clearly cropped â likely by USA Today. A comparison with the same frame from the actual video shows many other observable differences. In particular, the IntelCenter adjusted the color and sharpness of the picture (Figure 26).

5.1 Other Al Zawahiri Videos
The video from 28-Sept-2006 was not the only manipulated video. In fact, many of the videos featuring al Zawahiri test positive for chroma-key masking. Consider the video released on 27-July-2006 (Figure 27).26 This video appears to show al Zawahiri sitting in a video studio.
When this video came out, many Americans became enraged at the US government. The main strife was generated
by a single argument: if al Zawahiri is sitting in a studio making videos, the why canât we catch him? The answer is simple: he is not in a studio.
(…)
5.2 Back in Black
Claiming that there was a chroma-key background is not the same as actually seeing it. On 22-Jan-2007, the SITE
Institute (www.siteinstitute.org) â an organization that tracks terrorist activities â announced that they had
intercepted an Al Qaeda video before it had been publicly released; SITE released it. Three days later, As-Sahab
also released the video. ….

Hacker Proves How MSM is Fooled by al Qaeda Photochopped Images
(August 5th, 2007)
At the Black Hat computer Hacker‘s conference held in Las Vegas last week, Neal Krawetz of „Hacker Factor“ showed how easily the MSM has been tricked into believing the fake images that al Qaeda has offered to further their propaganda. Krawetz specifically referred to two images, one the July 27, 2006 image of al Qaeda second in command al-Zawahiri supposedly sitting in a modern television studio. It was an image that had the tongues of the MSM and pundits alike wagging. How is it, they clucked, that al-Zawahiri could be sitting in a modern television studio yet still could not be found?
Krawetz demonstrated how the elements of the two images, however, are special effects and not real.
Jihadists appear caught offguard by release of Steven Sotloff video
(September 2, 2014)
The video of Steven Sotloff‘s apparent murder appears to have been found by a private US intelligence firm before it could be released by the Islamic State.
News of Mr Sotloff‘s death was broken by the SITE Intelligence group, a private company that monitors jihadist activity and has close ties to the American intelligence community.
The group‘s analysts found the video on what a spokesman described as „a file-sharing site“ and send it out to its subscriber list. SITE‘s subscribers include government officials, journalists and academics involved in analysing terrorism.
Leak Severed a Link to Al-Qaeda‘s Secrets
(October 9, 2007)
The al-Qaeda video aired on Sept. 7 attracted international attention as the first new video message from the group‘s leader in three years. In it, a dark-bearded bin Laden urges Americans to convert to Islam and predicts failure for the Bush administration in Iraq and Afghanistan. The video was aired on hundreds of Western news Web sites nearly a full day before its release by a distribution company linked to al-Qaeda.
Computer logs and records reviewed by The Washington Post support SITE‘s claim that it snatched the video from al-Qaeda days beforehand. Katz requested that the precise date and details of the acquisition not be made public, saying such disclosures could reveal sensitive details about the company‘s methods.
Israel is attacking Lebanon to sabotage the Iran ceasefire, but the media is hiding its true motivation
Itâs no surprise that Benjamin Netanyahu immediately started to sabotage Donald Trumpâs Iran ceasefire, by launching murderous Israeli air attacks on Lebanon, which already killed more than 200 people. Itâs also, sadly, no surprise that the mainstream U.S. media did not report that Netanyahu and Israel were deliberately trying to torpedo the fragile ceasefire.

Taktik des Terrorkrieges: Wahrnehmungs-Management, Verwirrung, gelenkte Querfront
(7. Juni 2017)
Ohne auf alle in der Dokumentation dargestellten Entwicklungen und HintergrĂŒnde einzugehen, beleuchtet diese u.a. die jahrzehntelange Taktik des âWahrnehmungs-Managementsâ (perception management), die Manipulation der Ăffentlichen Meinung, die Lenkung vermeintlich verfeindeter oder sich gegenseitig bekriegender Gruppen durch die gleiche Hand (befördert durch die UnfĂ€higkeit zu dreidimensionalem VerstĂ€ndnis von Politik, links vs rechts, progressiv vs reaktionĂ€r, oben vs unten) die gezielte Konfusion jedweder Opposition und die permanente Formwandlung der Macht und der MĂ€chtigen, um sie nicht greifbar und damit unangreifbar erscheinen zu lassen.
Die untenstehenden und in der Dokumentation ĂŒber die Jahrzehnte genannten Beispiele sind im Zuge der Entwicklung von informationstechnischer Technologie, weltweitem Einsickern von kapitalistischen (Denk)Strukturen und deren Verschmelzung (âGlobalisierungâ), sowie Terrorkrieg in den letzten bald sechzehn Jahren praktisch auf jedes Land bzw jede Region ĂŒbertragbar.
Oil plunges, stocks soar after Iranian president offers first signs of willingness to end war with US
In comments first reported by state media, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told EU Council president AntĂłnio Costa that Iran has „the necessary will to end this war“ but expects certain guarantees in exchange.
Pezeshkian also said on Monday that any end to the war in the Middle East must „guarantee the security and interests of the Iranian people,“ according to comments first published by the state news agency IRNA and reported by regional media.

FCC chair threatens networksâ licenses after Trump complains about Iran coverage
âBroadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions â also known as the fake news â have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up,â Carr wrote in a post on the social platform X.
âThe law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not,â he warned.
FCC Chair Threatens to Revoke Broadcast Licenses Over Iran War Coverage
Amid surging oil prices and an unpopular war of choice in Iran, Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr is threatening not to renew the licenses of broadcasters for ârunning hoaxes and news distortions.â The Saturday post from Carr on X is not subtle: It explicitly warns broadcasters that they âhave a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.â
Carrâs missive came in response to a Truth Social post on Saturday from President Donald Trump, which the FCC chair included in full as a screenshot.

Money Out of Thin Air: The Secret Truth About How Banks Create New Money
(July 7, 2025)
Hereâs what really happens when you get a loan from a bank:
– The bank doesnât go into a vault and hand you someone elseâs cash.
– The bank creates new money right then and there, by typing numbers into your account.
Thatâs right: Most of the money in our economy didnât exist until someone took out a loan!
Dr. Peter Attia Exits as CBS News Contributor Following Epstein Controversy as Paramount Skydance Makes New Pitch for Warner
The correspondence made clear that Attia maintained a relationship with Epstein long after the financier faced sex trafficking and prostitution charges. âI go into JE withdrawal when I donât see him.,â reads a line from Attia to Lesley Groff, who was an Epstein assistant. The remark, found in a January 2016 email, spurred negative reaction on social media.
News of his exit surfaced as Paramount Skydance is expected to make a new offer for Warner Bros. Discovery, and is the latest in a series of talent tangles the company has faced in recent days.
Yair Golan says party will seek communications portfolio amid governmentâs attacks on media
âNetanyahu wants mouthpieces. He wants media outlets that will applaud him while he evades responsibility, praise him while he sacrifices Israelâs security, and remain silent while he protects advisers and aides who betrayed the state and received money from Qatar, the same Qatar that funded Hamas and the October 7 massacre,â Golan says, referring to the ongoing investigation into senior Netanyahu aides accused of lobbying on behlaf of Qatar during Israelâs war against Hamas while being employed by the premierâs office.
âHe knows that a free and independent press poses a real threat to a corrupt government built on cover-ups. That is why he seeks to turn news channels into obedient, hollow mouthpieces that avoid criticizing him and his government,â he says.
Britainâs Rulers Have Been Partners in the Gaza Genocide
Tory and Labour governments in Britain have provided every conceivable form of support for Israelâs genocidal project in Gaza. Peter Oborne, an independent-minded conservative journalist, has now provided us with a definitive record of their complicity.
Complicit: Britainâs Role in the Destruction of Gaza
Fearless and forensic, this incendiary indictment from one of Britainâs most celebrated political journalists lays bare the full extent of British complicity in the destruction of Gaza.
In a gripping narrative informed by original reporting, Peter Oborne tells how Britainâs Conservative and Labour parties converged to back Israelâs criminal assaultâin the process occupying disturbing common ground with the far right.
Rather than challenge this political cartel, British media colluded in its misrepresentations. The shocking result was that, as British authorities helped Israel set Gaza as well as international law aflame, almost everything the public was told about this momentous conflagration was untrue.
When citizens still turned out in their hundreds of thousands to demand a ceasefire, roiling the nationâs politics as they stayed faithful to the ancient British tradition of popular protest in defence of liberty, the political-media machine bared its fangs. The investigative reporting in this book exposes the methods by which peaceful demonstrations were smeared as âhate marchesâ.
Formerly chief political commentator at the Daily Telegraph and Spectator, Oborne knows the British establishment from within. In this book he names names and provides receipts. His demand is accountabilityâfor atrocities, and their accomplices.
Ex-aide says Netanyahu ordered him to help evade public responsibility for the October 7 attack
(December 26, 2025)
Speaking to Kan, Feldstein said, âthe first taskâ he received from Netanyahu after October 7, 2023, was to stifle calls for accountability.
âHe asked me, âWhat are they talking about in the news? Are they still talking about responsibility?‘â Feldstein said. âHe wanted me to think of something that could be said that would offset the media storm surrounding the question of whether the prime minister had taken responsibility or not.â
He added that Netanyahu looked âpanickedâ when he made the request. Feldstein said he was later told by people in Netanyahuâs close circle to omit the word âresponsibilityâ from all statements.
Qatargate resurfaces: What was really happening inside Netanyahu‘s office?
(December 26, 2025)
Because what Feldstein portrayed was an office where Chief of Staff Tzachi Braverman allegedly said he could block an IDF investigation, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu winked at circumventing the censor by releasing sensitive information to a foreign newspaper, and where officials close to Netanyahu were in the pay of Qatar and pushing favorable messages about that Hamas-supporting state during a time of war.
It wasnât an accounting of a single bad decision, but of an environment where lines were blurred and manipulation of the public, via the press, ruled the day.
