A Deal Based on Lies: The Iran Nuclear Agreement Will Make War More Likely
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/18845/iran-nuclear-deal-lies These are the effects of the proposed nuclear deal brokered by the EU, Russia and China. Why is it brokered by the EU, Russia and China? Because the United States was outrageously banned from direct negotiations by Tehran. It is not outrageous that Iran demanded it, but that the US tolerated its own exclusion.2022-09-05 by Colonel (Retd) Richard Kemp

Exposing the Lie of Israel Apartheid
https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/18094/israel-apartheid The lie of "Israeli apartheid" was dreamt up in Moscow during the Cold War and driven home by a relentless Soviet propaganda campaign until it took hold in the UN and across the Middle East and the West.
