To think about: In April 1946, Nazi leader Hermann Göring explained in his cell in Nuremberg exactly how political power really works. He said that ordinary people never demand war or crisis, but you can always get them on board. The recipe is simple: tell them they are in danger, and accuse the critics of endangering the community. That eighty-year-old formula is today the exact blueprint behind the permanent state of crisis in which we are kept. We see this in the conflict between Europe and Russia over Ukraine, where fear is used to push through billions in weapons without real democratic debate. But it doesn’t stop at geopolitics. We saw the same recipe with COVID-19, and now with climate change and the energy transition. It penetrates into our immediate living environment, such as the Environmental Vision Fryslân or the planned closures of the Wadden nature. While island residents are excluded, the elite discusses coercive 'system changes' at the Springtij Forum on Terschelling. The control over the narrative has now gone frighteningly far. Unheard Netherlands (ON!) is being ousted from the public broadcasting system, and through new legislation, there is an open search for ways to ban right-wing opposition parties. This is exactly where history painfully begins to rhyme with the 1930s, when critical media and parties were gradually silenced under the guise of 'public order' or 'safety'. The lines of this coordinated policy go directly to international networks and think tanks such as NATO, the World Economic Forum (WEF), and the UN with their coercive SDGs. Through programs like the Young Global Leaders, politicians worldwide are being trained to roll out exactly the same crisis narratives in their own countries. Our local democracy seems to have become an execution office for a predetermined global agenda. The great eye-opener that Göring left us is that this mechanism works in every system. Once a population is made afraid enough of an invisible enemy (whether it is a virus, an aggressor, nitrogen, or CO₂), it willingly surrenders its freedom, its diverse media, and its common sense. Fear is the ultimate weapon to steer the masses. This pattern only stops when we cease to blindly follow that automatic pilot of fear. Will you let history repeat itself, or will you say no?

Jordan Bardella, president of the National Rally, filed a defamation complaint against Mediapart following the publication of anti-Semitic accusations against him, which he firmly denies. (translated)

Accusations d’antisémitisme : Jordan Bardella porte plainte contre Mediapart pour diffamation

To serve a story about supposedly "out of control" mobilizations, France 2 is doing Europe 1. Images of a fire cut just before we see that it is quickly controlled with a fire extinguisher. My testimony cut off before I explain this situation. Nothing about the demands. (translated)

"The strength of this presidency lies not in the pursuit of media chaos, but in keeping promises to the Polish people. President Karol Nawrocki consistently maintains this course and does not allow the government's responsibility to be overshadowed by media theatrics," we read in the post by the Chief of the President's Cabinet, Paweł Szefernaker. (translated)

Burza po orędziu Nawrockiego. "Przestraszył się swoich wet"

Karol Nawrocki signed a law on the excessive profits of fuel companies, which sparked a wave of comments and controversy on social media, and politicians, including Jarosław Kaczyński, began to speculate about the impact of this decision on fuel prices. (translated)

Shooting at a hospital vehicle, getting away with just a misdemeanor, and instead of humility explaining how the media makes you a victim? The law might not see it as a crime, but humanly it is pure arrogance. When a person endangers others, and the only thing they care about is their own political image, then they have failed as a human being. (translated)

Fabrice Arfi informs us that, to confirm that the messages retrieved from Meta were indeed those of Bardella, Mediapart did not need to waste time investigating his life... Jordy had offered them everything in his autobiography 📖 But what a treat tonight 😏🍿 (translated)

🔴🇫🇷INFO - On the antisemitic writings of Jordan #Bardella revealed by #Mediapart, the media mentions, among other documents and testimonies, a data extraction from Meta certified by a bailiff and precise details about his private life in the exchanges… (translated)

The technique called the "bar car" by @NunezLaurent is now proven and works well. As in the Rima Hassan affair, the minister of the Interior's fabrications are taken up and disseminated in full without any perspective or analysis by journalists. A fine example on ORTF. (translated)

A thirteen-year-old was spending 20 hours a day on Instagram, neglecting eating, sleep, and studying, which led to intervention by the family court that prohibited her from using this social media. (translated)

"Stop saying the media, they are children, they are minors, the poor things. Stop it all. When you are capable of doing that to a police officer, you are no longer a minor. You chose to be in the adult world, and you must be treated like an adult." Masterclass. He said it all. 👏🏻 I much prefer the statements of authentic people like him, which are full of truth and common sense, to those of the pseudo-intellectuals on television sets who are completely out of touch. (translated)

Jordan Bardella has made, according to the evidence published by Mediapart, foul, conspiratorial, and anti-Semitic remarks. Please, @J_Bardella, sue me for defamation. Really. Let's verify all this in court. Let's have a laugh. (translated)

It's very simple: If what he claims is true, it is no longer just Mediapart that needs to be prosecuted. We must also challenge the bailiff who would have knowingly established a forgery. A public officer who would commit, in the exercise of their duties, a forgery in a public document would face up to 15 years of criminal imprisonment and a fine of 225,000 euros. So, if you are so sure of yourself, Jordan, go ahead. We're watching you. (translated)

The oligarch @AndrejBabis finally came to work... bravely shuffling to the podium to "explain" his rectal humor... and it ended up like always! Evil, evil media... and someone stole his video 🤡 Thanks @hladikpe for the response ♥️ #PS #lolec #babišjezlo (translated)

📢 This is the third night that Romanians are gathering and chanting in front of the Central Detention Center in Bucharest for the release of President @CG_Romania! 🇷🇴 The TV stations refuse to show what is happening there. Why⁉️ Because if the images reached the homes of Romanians, people would see the crowd taking to the streets, and that could bring even more people there. The more people gather, the harder it becomes to control the situation with the Jagardearia devices. So, if the TV stations won’t show it, we’ll film it ourselves. ✊🏻 WE ARE THE MEDIA NOW.👁️ As @elonmusk said. 🫵🏻 📍George Georgescu Street No. 1-3 Bucharest (translated)
