TRIBUNE/ANALYSIS – If the main opposition leaders have criticized, with more or less vigor, Macron’s crazy proposals on the deployment of troops in Ukraine, on channels like LCI, from what we see on all the usual commentators, all Russophobic, approve of the idea. The synergy of these media with the hard-line Macronist and Atlanticist power remains intact.
In all the media, on all the networks, there are so many actors involved in this maximum propaganda campaign to whom all the microphones are open that we can only conclude that all of this is part of a concerted plan to across the entire West, and more particularly in France where Atlanticist warmongers are particularly present on the airwaves.
And to listen to the most warlike and hysterical declarations from all of Macronia, and from some other European leaders who tell us that Russia wants to attack Europe directly, that they will not stop not in Ukraine, we have the impression of being faced with a phenomenon of collective paranoid delirium; or the implementation of a concerted plan to start a real world war.
Either they panic in the face of the looming Russian victory; either they just seek to terrorize the populations to justify extreme measures, with a European totalitarian government which would be put in place in successive steps, taking advantage of permanent crises and a war on the razor’s edge (a war which they hope to be able to master). in their madness); or they really want the Apocalypse.
It’s been two years since an unprecedented media barrage to demonize Russia, using gross manipulation, has been unleashed on all our media. We still see hysterical messages on X where people still believe that thousands of women and children were raped by Russian troops in Ukraine, a lie that has however been dismantled.
Obviously, for those who have been convinced by this propaganda, Putin is the new Hitler. And those who are not ready to wage war are collaborators, or potential Daladiers, or even the 5th column which is preparing the reception of Russian troops in Paris. Since Macron’s famous speech of February 26, references to the period preceding the Second World War have been bludgeoned by all his supporters, to justify the end of the “limits” and try to ostracize the recalcitrant.
The rare times when we can attend a debate, such as this exchange tense between Eric Naulleau and Florian Phillipot on CNEWS, the representative of right-thinking seeks to mark the troublemaker who does not follow the narrative of the mark of the Beast. Thus, in one minute and a half, Naulleau repeats five times “You are pro-Russian”and twice you “sleep in front of Putin”. Through a completely binary discourse, he attempts to discredit his interlocutor in the eyes of the public. Being pro-Russian or pro-Putin is the new Godwin Point. The naive spectator is told not to listen to the arguments, whatever they may be, emanating from the person thus labeled.
Having experienced it several times, people who always believe the official word refuse to read any article that does not come from their authorized sources. And for others, even if you put the facts in front of them, they refuse to see. When beliefs are so deeply rooted in emotion, arguments no longer work. We enter into religion. This is the terrible power of propaganda based on emotion. There is also the reluctance of self-esteem to recognize that we may have been seriously mistaken.
The permanent lie
Perhaps the biggest lie is that the Russian intervention in Ukraine was completely unprovoked. While the United States has transformed Ukraine into a forward base for espionage against Russia for 10 years, as New York Times revealed it on February 25, this in addition to the establishment of the most Russophobic regime on the planet since the bloody coup of February 2014, which triggered everything else. We can find a history of this entire American maneuver.
In recent weeks, X has been flooded with rabid Macronist and pro-Ukrainian posts which always send the same message of unconditional support for Ukraine. Some accounts were already known, while many others seemed to come out of nowhere, with improbable names, all the flags of right-thinking aligned, and few subscribers. We can think that certain State services are at work in this influence maneuver. This is part of modern warfare. Control of opinion is a key point in justifying a military operation in a democracy.
Powerful centrifugal forces are therefore at work to hammer home the narrative. And it started with the Covid crisis. We are at the level of Goebbels. Repeat a lie enough times, and the majority will eventually believe it.
Edward Snowden, the former American agent who took refuge in Russia, sums it up with this formula:
“The whole system is based on the idea that you can convince most people of anything, as long as you repeat it loud and clear often. And it works.”
I checked it again recently with people who are nevertheless intelligent, but who are so conditioned to hate Russia that they are ready to believe that it was the latter who blew up its own Nord-Stream gas pipelines… to accuse the Americans.
The lie about the cause of Navalny’s death
The latest example of massive propaganda is the death of Navalny in prison, presented everywhere as a political assassination intended to demonstrate the monstrosity of the Russian regime and its president.
And then, by the way, the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, Budanov, announcement that his services knew that Navalny had really died of a blood clot, therefore a priori a natural death, apologizing in passing for disappointing the journalists around him.
But denial always has less resonance than the initial lie. No one around me knows about this latest revelation. That said, for the furies of anti-Russian propaganda like the unspeakable Below Poedie, it doesn’t change anything. Putin remains responsible. Never mind the facts. All that matters is the narrative.
And so, we invite Navalny’s widow to the European Parliament in continuing to call Putin a murderer, pointing pointing the finger at deputies like Bardella who dare not applaud the new muse made by the West in the process of spouting its insults. The latter fulfills the role expected of it by launching: “Don’t negotiate with Putin.” And some are ecstatic before the new idol who calls for ever more blood to be shed. And Claude Malhuret, one of the worst warmongers in the Senate, recycles the same lie on Navalny to denounce any attempt at negotiation. The degenerate West seeks war at all costs!
Gonzalo Lira, ignored martyr of freedom of expression!
By the way, no one in the West in the subsidized press seems to have mentioned the death of Gonzalo Lira, youtuber American-Chilean living in Ukraine. Two weights, two measures !
Lira was arrested the first time by Zelensky’s SBU for having “justified the Russian invasion of Ukraine”, in fact for having dared to criticize the kyiv regime. Lira notably questioned Boutcha’s narrative, which contains numerous elements seeming to indicate manipulation. But in Ukraine, we do not attack state propaganda with impunity.
According to his words, Lira was tortured in prison by his fellow prisoners. After being released pending trial, Lira was arrested again as he attempted to leave the country. He died in prison on January 12 of pneumonia, due to lack of care, according to his last message sent to his father. Ukraine’s treatment of Lira was worthy of dictatorships. But the Biden administration hasn’t lifted a finger to help. The YouTuber had chosen the wrong side.
But it seems that defending Ukraine means defending democracy…
