LINDSEY GERMAN’S timely article The Polish missile crisis underlines the need to end this war now shows precisely why a daily paper for peace and socialism has never been more vital.
While the mainstream media led the charge toward World War III the Morning Star provided a lone voice of sanity.
Now that the initial knee-jerk calls for “closing the skies” retribution are being replaced by “It’s an unfortunate accident,” it’s important to point out that Polish and Nato forces possibly knew immediately after the explosion in Przewodow that the missiles had been fired by the Ukrainians, since the border area is under such strict surveillance.
Probable too is that US intelligence deliberately planted disinformation in the mass media to avert a public relations disaster.
On the knife-edge of an escalating conflict, not only did Western media act as the sirens of war for hours but the leaders of the Nato war coalition, one of the key actors in this proxy war, must also have sat on this information while Russian spokespeople made firm and ultimately credible refutations.
