Governing by fake news

International conflicts : 30 years of infoxes used by Western countries

What are the facts that the Islamic State is seeking to create a civil war in France ; that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons ; that Vladimir Putin is trying to destabilise our democracies ; that terrorism has struck France, not for what it does, but for what it is ; that the genocide in Darfur has claimed 400,000 victims ?... Literally none, but these assertions are enough to establish the foreign policy of Western countries.

The author, a former agent of the Swiss strategic intelligence service, reviews the main contemporary conflicts that Western countries have managed with fake news over the last thirty years.
