… plata no es. Dice la famosa adivinanza.
\nLo mismo se puede aplicar a la historia contempor\u00e1nea que nos hacen tragar los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n. Parece oro, pero en realidad es una aut\u00e9ntica colecci\u00f3n de patra\u00f1as y mentiras que se cruzan y recruzan entre s\u00ed hasta formar una realidad m\u00edtica, donde es dificil descubrir algo que sea cierto, un pl\u00e1tano podrido.
\nEjemplo.
\nRetrotraeros amigos al 9 de abril de 2003. Bagdad. Los marines entran en la ciudad haciendo huir al ejercito iraqu\u00ed. Llegan a la plaza de Firdos en el centro de la ciudad, donde se encuentra una enorme estatua de Saddam Hussein. Entonces, el pueblo iraqu\u00ed, euf\u00f3rico y agradecido, ayuda a las tropas americanas a derrumbar la estatua, momento que es tomado por las c\u00e1maras de TV y paseado por el mundo como una de las bienvenidas al ej\u00e9rcito americano.
\nBonito, \u00bfa que si?
\nEra mentira.
\nEl peri\u00f3dico LA Times public\u00f3 el d\u00eda 3 un \u00abart\u00edculo\u00bb:http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/la-na-statue3jul03,1,7327035.story?coll=la-home-headlines donde desvelaba que todo fue una operaci\u00f3n dise\u00f1ada _in situ_ por el servicio psicol\u00f3gico del ej\u00e9rcito americano. _[Eso si, seg\u00fan \u00ab[\u00abUTS\u00bb:http:\/\/blog.zmag.org\/uts\/archives\/000796.html]\u00bb, ha sido **el \u00fanico** peri\u00f3dico en publicar la noticia, y lo ha hecho en la p\u00e1gina 28 de la versi\u00f3n en papel]_<\/p>\n

\nAfter the colonel \u2014 who was not named in the report \u2014 selected the statue as a \u00abtarget of opportunity,\u00bb the psychological team used loudspeakers to encourage Iraqi civilians to assist, according to an account by a unit member.
\nBut Marines had draped an American flag over the statue’s face.
\n\u00abGod bless them, but we were thinking \u2026 that this was just bad news,\u00bb the member of the psychological unit said. \u00abWe didn’t want to look like an occupation force, and some of the Iraqis were saying, ‘No, we want an Iraqi flag!’ \u00bb
\nSomeone produced an Iraqi flag, and a sergeant in the psychological operations unit quickly replaced the American flag.
\nUltimately, a Marine recovery vehicle toppled the statue with a chain, but the effort appeared to be Iraqi-inspired because the psychological team had managed to pack the vehicle with cheering Iraqi children.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
