At a panel discussion in Austria, Hans Bürger, editor-in-chief of state broadcaster ORF's domestic politics desk, explains the nooks and crannies of population control
[shaking my head] having just suffered through some of Englands local elections and what was and certainly what wasn’t shared publicly it ain’t looking very rosy nor hopeful. Seems local regional politics this years was dominated by …yep, Gaza, of course, because why care about pot holes in roads or local businesses. I dread our next general (National) election.
Nodding along in recognition of swedish "journalism" as I read.
If the regime-loyal press say something is, then it is. If regime-critical press says something, it doesn't matter if it is sourced, checked, common knowledge, true and matter of record. It just doesn't matter, and worse than it not mattering to people in general, most react to being confronted with facts counter to the claims of regime media by being either outraged or apathetic.
"Yeah, yeah, they all ie all the time so what", and then their brain resets to "They said on TV that...", a phrase which means state TV. If state TV says that migration is necessary to keep the public health system up and running, it becomes truth. If state TV says "four swedes were arrested in Sapin on suspicion of..." it doesn't matter if you can show that all four have mid-eastern names, since "svensk" and "svensk medborgare" has been used interchangeably for so long most people subconsciously think it means the same thing.
And try to watch the broadcast meetings of the Swedish PEN club, the mainstream journalists club for mutual admiration without vomiting so hard you get an aneurysm - selfgratification that'd make a Borgia say "Whoa there!".
The members of the swedish PEN club has been intrumental in trying to whip up mobs against free journalists and in trying to silence dissenting voices, something which started with its rapid politicisation after the Tiananmen Square Massacre. I'm not sure if the austrian and norweigan ones are as far gone.
I doubt that this 'playbook' is different in other 'Western' countries.
We should speak more about Tiananmen Square, though, for this is a crucial 'event', I'd agree. Do you know this 'gem':
'Over the last decade, many American reporters and editors have accepted a mythical version of that warm, bloody night. They repeated it often before and during Clinton’s trip. On the day the president arrived in Beijing, a Baltimore Sun headline (June 27, page 1A) referred to “Tiananmen, where Chinese students died.” A USA Today article (June 26, page 7A) called Tiananmen the place “where pro-democracy demonstrators were gunned down.” The Wall Street Journal (June 26, page A10) described “the Tiananmen Square massacre” where armed troops ordered to clear demonstrators from the square killed “hundreds or more.” The New York Post (June 25, page 22) said the square was “the site of the student slaughter.”
The problem is this: as far as can be determined from the available evidence, no one died that night in Tiananmen Square.'
Thank you for the link I admit not something I’ve ever looked into. I’m sure by now 99/100 of “historical events” (or even 100) that I’ve heard, been taught, growing up are misrepresented and/or twisted.
My own take is this: I think until 'around 1900', such 'events' have unfolded quite 'organically'; later, things become much more 'murky', including major cause/event concatenations, such as the rise of Benito Mussolini, which was facilitated by British intelligence, as reported by The Guardian (of all papers) in 2009:
To say nothing about the shenanigans involved in the creation of the Federal Reserve and a lot of 'events' that 'followed'. I do consider most, if not all, of 'events' after WW2 to be at least partially planned/conceived by third-party actors…

Don't think for a moment that 'our' elections are 'better', merely different.
It's mostly an illusion by now--plus a psy-op.
