A complementary phrase developed in the last years is "fake news" — people who are saying well-founded truths, are being accused of spreading "false news" - and that by the very media that spread the real false news and lies in the first place. A dystopian world indeed, and most of the public doesn't capture it.
Another denigrating term that has it lately into the vocabulary of the mainstream, "populist". It refers to people or ideas from the left, the middle or the right - as soon as they don't stick to the going narrative. By Webster's definition, a populist is someone who represents the people's views, a majority view, actually, it's a very democratic term, because a true leader should represent the people's views. But media manipulation has made of "populism" something of "lesser intellect" - and, of course, nobody wants to be of "lesser intellect", hence, it's become a derogatory term. That's how the media and psychologically worked propaganda can alter what people would call "my common sense".
The fear factor is always a crucial element in dividing people, and in corralling them into chambers of fear - which allows anything outside to happen - building up armament, faking an arms race - when there was none. The Soviet Union came out of WWII - where they lost between 25 and 30 million people to save Europe and the world from fascism.
But western history books have it, that it was the United States and her European allies, who foremost defeated Hitler. This false news is continuingly being propagated, last by the recent WWII Victory Celebration on 9 May 2020 - without any consideration of the key role of the Soviet Union - today's Russia - in defeating the Hitler Nazis.
After this enormous sacrifice, the Soviet Union had no intention nor the resources to build up an army to defeat the west - as was being propagated by the US and then being aped by Europe, hence justifying 40 years of a Cold War, based on FEAR. The Cold War destroyed the natural relationship (trade, diplomatic, cultural) between Europe and today's Russia.
Today, however, anybody who dares to remind the western media, politicians and friends of the real conqueror of Hitler, namely the Soviet Union - is a "conspiracy theorist" - or someone who spreads "false news".
The latest example of conspiracy galore, is the corona crisis. What is playing out in front of our eyes, a worldwide lockdown of everything, followed almost by every government of this globe with similar severity, quarantine, confinement at home for almost everyone under the "pretext" of protecting you - the people - from an invisible enemy - a corona virus. And every government KNOWS it is a disaster for the national and world economy - it is social suicide. Yet they go along - with the orders of whom? ...<<<Read The Full Article Here>>>...
