Meaning: State lies is an expression that refers to a lie emanating from a government or public administration. This can include lies about national security issues, lies to cover up mistakes or crimes, or lies to manipulate public opinion. This is the art of manipulating the people.

“I prefer to present the French with lies that elevate them, rather than truths that demean them.“–Charles de Gaulle

In their most common version, state lies are propaganda. Lying is consubstantial with dictatorial regimes, whether in the Third Reich or in the USSR or the People’s Republic of China. But it is also practiced by the rulers of so-called “democratic” countries with very harmful consequences because it ruins the trust that citizens have in the ruling class, makes people doubt the validity of democracy and, in turn, gives credence to conspiracy theories and the most absurd falsehoods.

Examples of State Lies and Propaganda

(1) Management of the Covid-19 epidemic

The management of the Covid-19 epidemic in the spring of 2020 was done by ministers and politicians who explained on television what stood out or what had to be explained exclusively by doctors. Did you hear ministers at the beginning say that masks were useless, and a few weeks later see those same ministers making masks mandatory? It’s called “state lies”

(2) Managing the Chernobyl Cloud

What do you remember about the “Chernobyl cloud”? On 26 April 1986, the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant led to urgent preventive measures throughout Europe. Everywhere… except in France. President Mitterrand and his Prime Minister Jacques Chirac did not want to panic the population or antagonize the nuclear lobby, so what followed was a policy of disinformation that amounted to state lies…On April 28, 1986 as the radioactive cloud moved toward Western Europe, Professor Pellerin made a reassuring speech on television:

  • “It does not threaten anyone at the moment except in the immediate vicinity of the plant, and even then it is especially in the plant that the Russians have admitted that there are people who have been harmed.”

Two days later, the state’s lie was really set in motion through the information provided by the national weather service and relayed by the Antenne 2 presenter:

  •  “In France, the Azores anticyclone will remain powerful enough to offer a real protective barrier; it blocks all disturbances coming from the East. » 

It was the famous theory of the Chernobyl cloud stopping at the French border that took shape. We know today that this was not the case and that France was affected like its immediate neighbours.

Le Figaro, 8 mai 1986. En agrandissement, Libération, 12 mai 1986.

(3) Attack on 11 March 2004 at Atosha railway station in Spain

More sordid was the Spanish government’s lie about the attack on Atocha station on 11 March 2004. On that day, several bombs killed 191 people and injured 2,000. Deeply embarrassed by his involvement in Iraq, the President of the Council, José María Aznar, blamed the crime on the Basques of ETA, although they had never carried out a mass attack and had confined themselves to targeted attacks.The investigation later led to the arrest of 29 Islamists linked to al-Qaeda… and the defeat of the Prime Minister and his party.

(4) The two atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

On August 6, 1945, President Truman announced on the radio that a new type of bomb had exploded on Hiroshima, calling the city a “military base”! The president would later justify the two atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by claiming, with the approval of all the Western media, that these tragedies would have avoided the sacrifice of a million American soldiers…American State lies.

Today we know that by dropping atomic bombs on Japan, the American leaders wanted above all to impress their ally and yet rival, the Soviet Union, in the perspective of future conflicts.

(5) The Russian State Lie

Since the invasion of Ukraine, state lying in Russia has reached a fever pitch. Distortion of reality and contempt for facts have long been Vladimir Putin’s driving forces. A practice of totalitarian nature inherited from the Soviet era that plagues the whole of Russian society.Standing, alone on stage, bathed in a blue and red glow, the Russian comedian Danila Poperechny strings together sentences, without a word of transition.

“I’m not going to change the Constitution”;

“We treat Ukraine as a sovereign state”;

“We have no plan for Crimea”;

“Our soldiers are not here and have never been there”;

“There will be no war”;

“It’s not a war, it’s a special operation”;

“They are bombing themselves”;

“We are carrying out precision strikes”;

“There will be no mobilization.”

No need for an explanation. Everyone in the audience will have recognized quotes from Vladimir Putin. At the end of this list, filmed in London in November 2022 and broadcast in the form of excerpts in April 2023 on his YouTube channel, “Spoontamer”, followed by 3.4 million subscribers, the artist, who is very critical of the government and is now in exile, concludes to applause:

  • “There are so many lies that Russians are starting to believe them. Because they’re like, “Well, all of this can’t just be lies.” But yes, it’s all lies. Every one of those fucking words is one! »

State lies in times of war, more news than ever

Ten years after the First World War, in 1928, the English diplomat Lord Ponsonby published a luminous essay on war propaganda: Falsehood in War-Time: Propaganda Lies of the First World War. Arthur Ponsonby sees this as a characteristic of modern conflicts. It proved indispensable in all camps to mobilize the masses and support the war effort.

State lies and war crimes

More serious than anything when it comes to lies and fake news is when it is aimed at a war of aggression. There, as they say in the Tontons flingueurs, it’s heavy! It’s a far cry from the “fake news” of a few internet crooks.

Conclusion

In political politics, in all countries, but especially in dictatorships, state lies are a daily occurrence. So-called “official” narratives, state communiqués, speeches, tweets, posts, circulars, notes verbales and others… statesmen and women are all previously sifted through the so-called “lies of the state”. Woe betide those who fiercely defend or swallow everything that states or politicians publish.

“Also, they will greedily exploit you with counterfeit words. But their judgment, decided long ago,is not moving slowly, and their destruction is not sleeping.”(2 Peter 2:3)

This world,

In most cases, gamblers have to make a deposit to qualify for free spins, however, some free spins offers come without players needing to make any deposit, these are known as the free bonuses or bonus spins with no deposit required. Do I have to use all my Slots Free Spins in one go? No – you can close a game part way through using your bonus spins and the next time you open it, you’ll be asked if you want to load up your remaining Free Spins. There is, however, a time limit for how long these will remain available to you to play. Stardust Casino grants new players 25 free spins on the Starburst slot upon registration. Claiming free spins on registration is straightforward. Once you’ve picked the right online casino, the steps are quick and simple.

    For world travelers in the islands, Macau poker tournaments or poker tournaments in Las Vegas might be an option. However, for the majority of PH residents, that’s not going to be the case. Even getting to poker tournaments in Manila at a PAGCOR-licensed venue (like the Okada Manila poker room) can often be too much of an inconvenience to offer real sustained play. But online poker tournaments – that’s a different story! Filipino players are fortunate insofar as most online gambling is legal and accessible – as long as you’re aged 18 or over and can provide valid identification upon registration. The poker sites for Filipino players allow you to cash out only after an ID check, but that’s as strict as it gets. This is true for Philippines real money casinos as well. Advanced versions of roulette are also available, and players should get familiar with the rules before playing for real money. Some varieties might include double wheels and other special elements, which make this casino game more popular in the Philippines.
