New book reveals Tiananmen square massacre, others fabricated by US
A new book reveals that numerous atrocities that the United States had alleged to have been committed by its foes never happened to begin with.
For decades, Western media have been narrating the same story about China being this brutal "dictatorship" whose people are killed at the hands of the criminal communist regime, giving the Tiananmen Square massacre as a prime example of the brutality of the Chinese government, wherein supposedly scores of students were killed at the hands of the People's Liberation Army. However, a new book emerged proving that these claims are false and have no foundation to them except for Washington's aspirations to tarnish the image of the Chinese Communist Party.
Atrocity Fabrication and Its Consequences: How Fake News Shapes World Order, a new book by A. B. Abrams, highlights that there never were any killings in the infamous Tiananmen Square back in 1989 as had been spread by Western propaganda for decades, and it was revealed that the entire affair was but a mere attempt at showing China as the villain in the geopolitical arena. The book underlines that no killings, let alone a massacre as is proclaimed, took place in Tiananmen Square.
How did the US succeed in manipulating the mainstream narrative and have millions upon millions of people believe that China initiated a mass murder of its own people - young college students - crushing them with tanks and shooting them down with machine guns? The answer is simple: the manipulation of public perception through the press. This could be done using media out of context and providing an incomplete version of the truth.
For example, the most infamous piece of media "documenting" the crime to ever exist is a video showing a tank marching onto a person alleged to have been a student, and right as the tank gets close enough to the young man and stops, the video is cut, with there being some text accompanying the video hinting or proclaiming that the tank went on to run over the protester. However, that could not be further from the truth. In reality, other protesters rushed to the scene and accompanied him from there as the tank was standing in place waiting for him to comply and get out of its way.
The book argues that all the acts committed by the United States were in a bid to "justify wars of conquest and exploitation" and generate multi-billion-dollar profits for the notorious military-industrial complex, as reported by CovertAction Magazine.
Abrams highlighted that the Tiananmen Square protests initially took place not as a push for Westernization or the downfall of the Chinese government. Instead, their primary focus was on reinforcing the principles of China's 1949 Communist Revolution and addressing the issue of corrupt officials who had deviated from Maoist principles.
This movement encompassed not only students but also a significant number of workers, who exhibited a stronger anti-CCP stance. Their collective objective aimed at the establishment of a socialist democracy within the framework of the movement.
The book cited a cable from the US Embassy in Beijing that WikiLeaks published in 2016. The leak included reports on the eyewitness account of a Chilean diplomat and his wife who were present when the PLA made it to Tiananmen Square to disperse the protesters. The pair made it in and out of the square numerous times without any harassment and observed no mass firing of weapons into the crowds. They never saw any use of lethal force, to begin with.
Moreover, the book cited former Washington Post Beijing Bureau chief Jay Mathews who, in 1998, admitted that "all verified eyewitness accounts say that the students who remained in the square when troops arrived were allowed to leave peacefully."
It also cited Reuters correspondent Graham Earnshaw, who spent the night of June 3-4 at the center of Tiananmen Square and reported that most of the students left the square peacefully with the remainder of them being persuaded to do the same.
As is customary, the main source the Western media used to claim that a massacre took place was an anonymous student from Qinghua University making claims to the Hong Kong press, who then made it to the British media.
