If there is no freedom and the president is no longer legitimate, then the media comes to the fore

Yesterday, having made a sixteen-hour trip, we arrived in Moscow. Today-tomorrow I will tell you about our upcoming events with Alexander Kontorovich. In the meantime, I was pleased with the Ukrainian TV programmes. If there is no freedom in a country, and the president is no longer legitimate, then the media, great and terrible, comes to the fore. Or useless and ruthless.

The special beauty of the media is that they are so lazy that they no longer need to look for facts, thinking they can just tell a story, tell a bunch of lies, and the war-weary population will believe it.

A ‘remarkable’ piece was done about me and my ‘connection to Russia’s intelligence services’. But it turned out the same as always. Well, what else to expect from investigators like the one in this story? A friend of mine wrote, ‘I watched it. What can I say — they tried.’

They tried to be clever, but as usual they ended up in the loo. ‘No facts, just speculation and indirect admissions of guilt.’

Well, we have infowarfare. But on the bright side. The upside is that their names are out there and they too will be prosecuted for propaganda of violence. I sympathise with the Ukrainians, who are apparently considered to be as not very intelligent people, capable of believing any nonsense to distract themselves
to distract from Ukraine’s internal problems.
