#34. Dr. Tögel: State Terrorism and Cognitive Warfare – Understanding Propaganda

Edited: October 31, 2025 (Instagram info was added)

This blog post concerns a video in which Dr. Tögel1 explains how mainstream media is used for propaganda and cognitive warfare2. He goes into great detail about what is being said, what is being claimed, and what is true or false. The video concerns the German ZDF broadcast, published on October 23rd, titled “Markus Lanz.”3 Markus Lanz4 moderates the interview with guests: Georg Mascolo5, Katja Kloger6, and Andrey Gurkov7.

Dr. Jonas Tögel:

When I watched the “Markus Lanz” program from October 23, 2025, and analyzed it for war propaganda, I was immediately struck by how one-sided the choice of guests was: Both Katja Gloger and her husband, Georg Mascolo, are members of the “Atlantikbrücke” – a transatlantic think tank that receives funding from, among others, banks and the German Foreign Office. Unfortunately, Markus Lanz did not introduce either of them as transatlantic lobbyists. The selection of guests thus plays a significant role: I myself have experienced firsthand that one is not invited to talk shows if one does not represent the desired positions. Source Instagram

The “Markus Lanz” show from October 23rd is a good example of how the same issues can be presented very differently: In the program, it’s perfectly acceptable to discuss state terrorism: terrorist attacks are carried out by one’s own intelligence services, for which an enemy is blamed, against whom war can now be waged under the pretext of “terrorism.” When it comes to the 1999 terrorist attacks in Moscow and the Russian KGB/FSB is the possible perpetrator, such considerations are not only permissible but even probable. However, when it comes to September 11, 2001, and American intelligence services as possible perpetrators, such considerations are not allowed and are dismissed as “conspiracy theories.” I find that astonishing.

Because the mainstream propaganda system, explained in detail in this video, is not only used in Germany, the video is published here, so that we all can learn how the crowds are mislead, brainwashed. The video is subtitled. Choose your language in the menu bar. The menu bar becomes visible after you have clicked the red YT start button.

#28. Russian propaganda?

  • Original post published: July 29, 2020, in: Multerland blog
  • Edited: July 30, 2020
  • Edited: July 06, 2025 – Note: In the meantime we passed the year 2022, in which, named like that: the Russian Special Project started. In the post below I write that Russian politics, like all politics world wide, are not reliable. That was in 2020, when I was not up to date about the developments in Kiev, Ukraine, the coup there in 2014, the provoked war, etc. etc. All what is related with that is to be found in my blog Sustainable Politics, that I started in 2023, after my LinkedIn posts/comments had been censored because of EU guidelines and my account had been suspended for a short time: I was even named a Russian Troll there. But there is more, and since the war in Ukraine, all what happened there, and in USA, Europe, my political knowledge about Russia has become real in-depth knowledge, fact checked, after having been informed about Putin, Lavrov, the provoking aggressive role of NATO, USA, EU, in the Ukraine war, etc., by the highest reliable of the west’s political scientists and investigative journalists. You can find a gallery, and a list of them here. My answer on the question, that I asked myself in 2020: into which direction I would run in case needed: I would still, now, 2025, run into the direction of Russia, but taking my Acousticom2 with me to find a green place to live, because also in Russia the radiation from man-made EMF is too high. RNCNIRP is an advisory commission. Not a governmental EMF safety guidelines decision makers commission. Read more about RNCNIRP here.

July 29, 2020

The publications in the media about the Russian decision to ban Wi-Fi and smartphones from schools, are obviously considered to be Russian propaganda, by “Telecom” [see tweet].

What is “Russian propaganda”?

“The propaganda of the Russian Federation is propaganda that promotes views, perceptions or agendas of the government of Russia. The media include state-run outlets and online technologies,[3][4] and may involve using “Soviet-style ‘active measures‘ as an element of modern Russian ‘political warfare‘””.[5]    Read more here. (Wikipedia)

The new guidelines for schools, and online learning at home, as presented by the ministry of health in Russia, are created by RusCNIRP, a group of independent scientists who have studied EMF and experienced electromagnetic radiation on volunteering humans, in Russia. RusCNIRP has found highly alarming research results concerning the health of all human beings, especially for the foetus, babies, children, and teenagers. Not only for Russians, not only for Russian foetuses, babies, children and teenagers, but for all human beings. Science is not politically interested, not owned by politics and governments.

“Russian propaganda” as it essentially is, is not related at all with what the Ministry of Health in Moscow has decided about schools and online learning at home, but the decision of the Russian Ministry of Health opens indeed a very nice crystal clear view on Russia and the care of Russians for their children.

The “Free West”?

“Russian propaganda” is an expression for those outside Russia who like to influence the opinion of the crowds who live in the so-called “free west”, where all can say what they like to say [but nobody listens]. The “free” west does not exist. In the free west the so-called free people have become the slaves of the industry that rules all the governments, via the votes of these slaves, via a fake democratic system. In the free west people really believe they are free.

Capitalism and Communism

Russia is not different from the “free west”, since also there political systems restrict the people’s freedom: the Tsar was thrown from the throne in 1917 and other types of “Tsars” took over the totalitarian power. The “free west”points to Russia as an unfree state, Russia points to the west for the same. The industry in both East and West has during the era of the industrialisation taken over the reigns of politics[see article]. Capitalism is now also blossoming where communism was and even IS dictated. Communism is essentially an utterly social “ism”, but the world was not ready for it and one cannot force human evolution by violence, as happened in Russia, as happens in China, and why communist countries are factually not communist at all. Capitalism rules also in China, North Korea, everywhere. Also EU is not different from what is happening in Russia, in USA. The industry is the absolute totalitarian power where all world politics are merchandisers for. The crisis we are in is a result of blind capitalism, and the inborn and stimulated by industry greed of human beings.

Painting: Polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński, without a title. For me it is the blind monster industry that eats human beings. All walk in his wide opened mouth, something inside urges them to go in it (greed) and they do not see where they walk into. Their mind is sleeping. They are blind also. Not aware of what is happening: that they will be transformed into the faeces of the monster. Humans are the industry’s waste.

“If freedom is here, what does prison look like?”

“If freedom is here, what does prison look like?” Source

The so-called “free west” is scaremongering people for Russia, because the so-called “free west” people could lose their freedom, their free choice, their free will, when Russia is going to become too powerful. Which freedom?

“If freedom is here, what does prison look like?” Source

Well,

  • when reading the news about 5G, the way it is rolled out and the speed of the rollout
  • when discovering the total absence of any industrial scientific research of the biological effects of 5G
  • when learning about the support of the “free” west of corrupted safety guidelines decision makers groups like ICNIRP, FCC, ARPANSA, Safety Code 6 [See also: wikipedia]
  • when reading about the role of the corrupted WHO
  • when reading about Bill Gates, vaccines, the totally absurd, insane, unnecessary vaccine cocktail of till about 16 different vaccines, where parents of new born babies in USA are obliged to agree with. Read article Children’s Health Defense

…then I wonder in what kind of a freedom we live in. Then I do not wonder which side I should choose if it comes to choices:

I would choose for Russia.

My view on Russia

Choosing for Russia is not a synonym for agreeing with their politics, though I understand the Russian revolution, though I love their hymn, and though I understand the essence of communism. As a child I felt the enormous fear of both my parents, when the news came that Russia invaded Hungary [1956]. I was 8 years old. When there was ever something to be afraid of, later, I translated it automatically into “Russians”. My father hated Stalin, deeply, he hated communism, the communist leaders, and I did not understand it then, but later I did, and I agreed. I learned later that politics is not the same as culture. I learned from my mother the love for the Russian dances and music, but I also felt and feel love for for instance Spanish dances, Hungarian dances, all traditional dances and music. I dislike the music of the American cowboys however, their arrogant view on the American indigenous people, and their  “country and western” music. I can not listen to it.

I love nature. As Russians do. Love for nature is deeply rooted in the Russian soul. I feel the same. When it comes to choices, I choose for Russia. If I had to run for my life, I would run to Russia, not to the USA.

My view on the USA

America was a glorious country, for me, Americans were heroes: born some years after WWII out of parents who witnessed the war in the Netherlands, and who experienced Americans as liberators, I only heard positive words, and deep respect. America was glorified. My view on America changed during my life and on a certain moment I really did not understand why people would like to go there, to live there, or to go for a holiday there. The American glory of 1945 must have created an addiction in Americans to glory itself, to play the role of the liberator everywhere in the world, and to interfere finally in politics where they did not have the right to. The greed of their ancestors, who invaded America, was and is obviously in the DNA of the Americans: they never stopped to invade, and their out of the cowboy-guns derived advanced war industry helped them to win insane cruel wars. During the last decades the American glory faded out. Then there was Trump with: “We Make America Great Again!”

His politics have speeded up the rotting process of USA that started when Columbus arrived on that continent. He exposes the enormous numbers of far-right voters, Trump voters, the fake holiness of Christians in USA, who made it happen that Trump won. “It was meant to be, and a sign of God”. Most probably all this could happen because white-supremacy-America has no authentic culture, with roots far back in history, from the beginning of mankind: Americans of the present are the heirs of the fortune hunters from Europe. All what was authentic American has been stolen, killed, removed, ridiculed, humiliated, and this has not stopped yet: the indigenous people of America who are still alive still live in reservations and have no rights. The white supremacy overruled not only the indigenous people, but also the by white supremacists from Africa into America entered black people, the white man’s slaves, and all other human colours that appeared in USA, and are trying to enter right now the USA: “Go back where you came from!“. But the new Americans are awaking already a long time, and times and American society are finally really changing. The white supremacists feel backed into a corner, and act in the same way as those who invaded America, and killed all who were trying to defend their property and were opposing them. There is a revival of the cowboy mentality and it is supported by their self chosen pro-cowboy government. But much more intense: it is now a political movement.

That Americans [together with the British, Canadians, Polish and Russians] liberated Europe from Nazi Germany, stays a fact where we, Europeans, are eternally grateful for. The new fact is that Nazism is now experiencing a new dawn in the USA itself.

It is the world wide governing American, by politics funded and supported industries, and out of this American industry mentality born Russian, Chinese, Iranian, African, South American, Australian, Canadian, and European industries, which rule humanity, life on Earth. The shallow life-style in industrial countries is comparable with the shallow lifestyle as presented in the many Hollywood films, which have polluted the view of humans on sexuality and respect, world wide. The seed of the rottenness of the entire world started to grow in Hollywood, and infected via the Hollywood films all peoples of the world. Telecom industry is derived from America’s film industry, and America’s war industry, that found propaganda for it via the film industry and nowadays via the gaming industry, a side product of the film industry. Telecom uses psychological ways to hide its own propaganda by blaming Russia for what it is doing itself. Wake up, peoples of the world, stop to be sheeples [for those who think I wrote it wrong: sheeples is combination of sheep and peoples].

Conclusion

The claim of the telecommunications industry that the in Russia banned smartphones and Wi-Fi from schools should be considered as Russian propaganda, is a dirty lie, and propaganda itself, merchandising, manipulating the mind of the “free west” peoples, in order to achieve that the sheeples will say no to a sane, ethical decision of Russians. Sanity and ethics are missing in the telecom industry, in all industries, the multi nationals. Everywhere. Governments should disconnect from the industry and their catastrophic economic fetishism. The Russian Ministry of Health did. If there is a future, it must be in Russia. The signs are there that they can think.

Note: the mentioned tweet in the first sentence was published by Susan Foster. Susan Foster lives in Colorado, USA, writes articles for Children’s Health Defense, and is Honorary Firefighter of the San Diego Fire Department; US Adviser EM Radiation Research Trust (UK). See: Twitter. Her timeline on Twitter also shows how the situation in the USA is escalating.

One of Susan Foster’s tweets contains the following video. The YouTube channel shows more of the USA, where pro-American governments are willing to cooperate with, and not with Russia. Russian politics are, as all politics, indeed not reliable, but the Russian culture, art and science is still very strong and of a high quality. Russia is part of geological Europe.  So, EU, do not blame me for choosing for Russia. It is born out of your own totalitarian politics, by hiding details about 5G, by mandating 5G, your undemocratic politics about so-called safety guidelines for EMF by choosing for the ICNIRP monopoly, mandating unhealthy, unnecessary vaccines, denying the facts of pesticides, neonicotinoids, that kill life in soils, and by cooperating with a country that is reigned by “Gestapo Trump“. Washing hands in innocence, pretending to be leaders, our truthful leaders, walking like cowardly sheep behind Big “Brother” USA.

#22. Koblenko

[Laatste update: Mei 1, 2025]

Ik hoor er niet meer bij…

Maar ik hoorde er wel bij. Ik ging ook regelmatig in, en met de stroom mee, dat voelt lekker, samen, heerlijk, we zijn het eens, ja, inderdaad, Poetin deugt niet, moet je kijken, dat jacht dat besteld was in Italië. Bijvoorbeeld. Maar tegelijkertijd was er ook altijd iets wat niet alleen ik zag, wanneer, zoals in mijn geval, kijkend naar die ene documentaire over hem die, hoe merkwaardig is dat, nu niet meer terug te vinden is bij NPO Uitzending Gemist, in die enorme waslijst die aangereikt wordt daar wanneer je de zoekterm “Poetin” gebruikt, of zie ik die over het hoofd1? Hoe dan ook: ik werd me bewust, onderwijl kijkend, observerend, invoelend, luisterend: hij deugt.
Ik kon daarom niet begrijpen waarom hij Oekraïne binnenviel.
Nu, 2025, drie jaren verder en enorm veel historisch wetenschappelijk onderzoeksmateriaal, achtergrondinformatie en details rijker, begrijp ik waarom hij Oekraïne binnenviel.
En…, iedereen die de feiten kent, zou hetzelfde gedaan hebben.

Daarom: ik hoor er niet meer bij.
Ik schrijf dit nadat ik weer geconfronteerd werd met personen of een persoon, waar ik niet meer bij wil horen, maar die ik ondanks mijn pogingen hen te mijden, toch “tegen het lijf loop” in dit geval, via het scherm van mijn computer omdat ik als een in Noorwegen wonende Nederlandse graag af en toe naar niet-politieke, Nederlandse, ontspannende uitzendingen kijk, zoals Bed&Breakfast, Boer Zoekt Vrouw of RailAway. De overdosis aan negativiteit in de politieke wereld van vandaag moet worden gecompenseerd, nu en dan.

Maar….

Wat je ook opent, welke omroepzender dan ook, met de eigen talk show, de reclame spotjes —zelfs dat: adverteren door een omroep voor bijvoorbeeld “De kinderen van Rutte”2, een TV serie over Rutte die lesgeeft, die het volk moet overtuigen dat Rutte een waar-achtig mens zou zijn met een hart—je wordt ongevraagd en ongewild met propaganda geconfronteerd, en dus heb ik een trailer van die serie gezien. De Rutte propaganda wordt gewoon pal vóór een populair programma ingelast, zonder enige aankondiging, hoe slim, en het naïve volk, zich verkneukelend op wat er gaat komen, wordt ermee ingewreven, zapt niet, want men wil het komende programma niet missen, geen seconde ervan. Je kunt geen beter psychologisch perfect gekozen moment bedenken. Dus gebeurde dat ook.

“Bar Laat”, over Loretta Schrijver, met Jeroen Pauw en hé, Koblenko zit ook aan tafel.

Wanneer je uiteindelijk, nu, 2025 —na een leven lang geleefd te hebben (geboren in 1948), en mezelf verdiept te hebben in wat het westen is, terwijl ik leef in dat westen, en dus een constante waarnemer ben, een ervaringsdeskundige, een kritisch geworden ervaringsdeskundige— dan toch een keer meekijkt met het anders gemeden “Bar Laat”, vanwege het overlijden van Loretta Schrijver, en verwachtende dat Jeroen Pauw aanwezig zou zijn als gast, en ja, die was aanwezig, want samengewerkt met Loretta en jarenlang haar geliefde geweest, dan zit daar ook Victoria Koblenko aan tafel als, jawel, politicoloog.3 Ik heb na de intro van “Bar Laat”, met Jeroen Pauw, niet verder gekeken, want geen zin in Koblenko of enige andere gast.

Koblenko: politicoloog?

Koblenko heeft inderdaad politicologie gestudeerd in Leiden—las ik in Wikipedia4, bij gebrek aan een website van haar die adequate informatie biedt, want “under construction”—en behaalde het bachelor niveau. Maar ben je met alleen een bachelor diploma ook inderdaad een politicoloog?

Dat Koblenko absoluut niet op de hoogte is van de historische en politieke feiten in Oekraïne, terwijl ze gevraagd wordt om haar zegje te doen als zelf-benoemd “expert” in allerlei talk-shows en via lezingen, getuigen haar eigen woorden, waarin duidelijk wordt aan welke kant zij staat5. Ze heeft zelfs een interview6 gemaakt met wat men noemt “de first lady van Oekraïne”, terwijl die helemaal geen first lady meer is, omdat de termijn van de man in het groene T-shirt officieel verstreken is, en omdat we inmiddels weten wie die man in dat groene T-shirt werkelijk is… , en daarom zou Koblenko geen interview met die “lady” hebben moeten willen afnemen. Voor de vele feiten over Zelensky verwijs ik graag naar de echte Oekraïne deskundigen, die te vinden zijn in dit blog.

Hoe die oorlog is begonnen, waarom, wat er in het zuidoosten van Oekraïne aan oorlogsgeweld plaatsvond vanuit en door Kiev zelf, met raketaanvallen, terreur, volkerenmoord en meer, omdat er Russen wonen die zich, terecht overigens en vooral begrijpelijk want gediscrimineerd door Kiev, niet wilden conformeren met de pro USA regering die na de door USA georkestreerde coup in 2014 zitting nam in Kiev, en wat allemaal terug te vinden is in door onderzoeksjournalisten gemaakte opnames aldaar: ze weet het niet, hoeft kennelijk niets te lezen, want “door geboorte deskundig” omdat ze geboren is in Oekraïne, in 1980, in Vinnytsja7. Dat is 45 jaren geleden. Ze verhuisde mee met haar ouders (waarom verhuisden die?) naar Nederland in 1992, dat is 32 jaren geleden. De omstandigheden in de relatie tussen Oekraïne en Rusland waren toen bovendien totaal anders dan die nu zijn.
Welke informatiebronnen zij gebruikt is niet te achterhalen omdat haar website8 nog in opbouw is. Hoelang al? Wanneer mensen haar vragen naar informatie over Oekraïne is zij verplicht aan te kunnen tonen waar zij die vandaan haalt, zodat men weet of datgene wat zij gaat vertellen pro-Oekraïne is of tegen-Oekraïne want zij volgt daadwerkelijk de mensen die Oekraïne afbreken, en schuldig zijn aan de moord op Oekraïners door hen de oorlog in te sturen. Alle details en feiten zijn o.a. in dit blog te vinden.

Er is vooral in Oekraïne een enorm gebrek aan betrouwbare bronnen, en dat wordt aangetoond door het feit dat de oppositiepartij-leider Oleksandr Dubinsky ….. in een Oekraïense gevangenis zit en geen contact mag onderhouden met de buitenwereld. Professor Glenn Diesen9, heeft desondanks een interview10 met hem weten te regelen.

Koblenko wil ooit terug. Naar wat? En als wie?

De doden die zijn gevallen waren nog in leven geweest wanneer Koblenko en politieke soortgenoten begonnen waren met het bestuderen van de feiten die de mainstream media niet melden, want verplicht om westerse propaganda te kopiëren, te plakken en te publiceren, waardoor het eenvoudig blijft om de rode draad in een talk show te houden, en alles als “wij gelijkgezinden onder elkaar” naar buiten toe uit te stralen, met hier en daar wellicht—want zo ging het altijd—een andere stem, die dan toch weer overstemd werd door een andere gast gekozen door de propaganda machine achter de schermen.

Het Oekraïne zoals dit door de mainstream media getoond wordt bestaat niet. De realiteit is anders, maar dan moet je willen en durven kijken. Koblenko kijkt niet. Het Oekraïne dat zij verliet bestaat niet meer. Het is mogelijk dat er een heel andere wind gaat waaien in Oekraïne, wanneer Oleksandr Dubinsky (zie voetnoot 7) president zou worden. Er zijn nog geen verkiezingen geweest. Zelensky wil aanblijven. Doorvechten. Nog meer Oekraïners moeten worden afgeslacht.

Het Nederlandse schatkist-geld is op

De talk show “Bar Laat” begon, net zoals alle omroepen dat doen momenteel, met het laten zien van deze advertentie: Laat de Publieke Omroep Niet Wegbezuinigen11.

Ook die advertentie had er helemaal niet hoeven te zijn, wanneer Nederland zichzelf niet arm gemaakt had aan de oorlog in Oekraïne, door ook Nederland zelf geprovoceerd, want lid van NAVO, en dan had al dat geld in de staatskas kunnen blijven, de Groningers eindelijk hun huizen gekregen die beloofd zijn door nu-NAVO secretaris, dan hadden de slachtoffers van de belastingaffaire allemaal gekregen wat hun beloofd was, want hun recht, dan was er geen energiecrisis geweest, geen inflatie, dan waren er geen bezuinigingen nodig geweest op onderwijs, gezondheidszorg, en nu dus de omroepen, en dan had Koblenko gewoon nu al terug kunnen keren naar een Oekraïne dat, zoals voor de coup in 2014, nauw samenwerkte, in vrede, met Rusland.

Update, Maart 31, 2025 / Dat de Nederlandse schatkist leger en leger wordt (hoe bijzonder, dat woord “leger” in deze context) komt onder meer ook door wat in de nieuwsbrief12 van Investigate Europe staat geschreven over ook het Nederlandse “leger”: “Europese leiders beloven de defensie-uitgaven te verhogen. Er worden miljarden euro’s vrijgemaakt om nationale legers te versterken en gezamenlijke militaire initiatieven uit te breiden.”

Koblenko is met haar Ruslandhaat-campagne een voor een oorlogszuchtig EU belangrijk psychologisch wapen om een sterk vijandbeeld te creëren, dat nodig is om de goedkeuring van het [ten onrechte] russofoob13 gemaakte volk af te dwingen voor de noodzaak van onverantwoorde want volstrekt onnodige financiële uitgaven van een groter leger en meer wapens, dat alleen het imago van Brussel dient, want de schaamte voor de overigens lang geleden al voorspelde nederlaag in die door NAVO/USA/EU uitgedaagde oorlog moet verstopt worden. Dat vijandbeeld is precies wat Koblenko aan het volk “verkoopt” in talk shows, lezingen en ook “Libelle”, één van de allereerste -opgericht in 1934- en meest gelezen damesbladen in Nederland en Vlaams België14, waarin o.a. haar interview met “de first lady van Oekraïne” verscheen1516. Professor Glenn Diesen schreef een boek over russofobie17.

Katchanovski

Jij, Koblenko, verdient geld met westerse propaganda, en ondermijnt daarmee elke vorm van toekomst voor Oekraïne.
Neem eens serieus de tijd voor een echte studie, en begin met Dr. Ivan Katchanovski18. Ook een Oekraïner, een politieke wetenschapper, moedig, want de feiten tot op de bodem onderzoekend, en ermee naar buiten komend ook19, tegen de stroom van de verraders en huichelaars in, de gehersenspoelden, ondanks de gevaren ervan, omdat tegen de stroom in denken en handelen gevaarlijk is, zoals Gonzalo Lira20 heeft moeten ervaren.
Er zijn diverse westerse onafhankelijke onderzoeksjournalisten die het leven zuur gemaakt is, en wordt.
Er zijn zelfs westerse dissidenten die het westen ontvlucht zijn. Waaronder bijvoorbeeld Oekraïne onderzoeker Eva Karene Bartlett21 (documentaires Donbass22), en Ben Norton23 (China)

Wanneer klaar met het bestuderen van de onderzoeken van Dr. Ivan Katchanovski: ga verder met Dr. Jeffrey D. Sachs24, Dr. Glenn Diesen25, etc.26.

Zeer selectief zijn, leren wat betrouwbaar is en waarom

Zomaar iets kiezen uit de door YouTube aangereikte lijst na het gebruik van zoektermen levert info op die onbetrouwbaar kan zijn, misleidend, of zelfs gelogen en dus af te raden.
Gedurende de afgelopen jaren heb ik deze lijst27 samengesteld met namen, die te checken zijn, via websites, en die 100% betrouwbaar zijn gebleken. Er zijn inmiddels ook personen door mij weer van die lijst verwijderd, wanneer bleek dat die onwaarheden verkondigden, waarvan ik zeker wist dat het onwaarheden waren, of aannames, want niet bewezen. Ook personen die te kennen gaven in videos bijvoorbeeld pro-Trump te zijn, omdat het een held zou zijn, die een aanslag overleefde, zijn verwijderd.
Ik streef naar neutraliteit, naar verifieerbare waarheden. De geschiedenis liegt niet, maar het westen verzwijgt wel heel bewust en zorgvuldig delen van de geschiedenis, of negeert die, gemakshalve. Er is volop materiaal verzameld om mee aan de slag te gaan. Dit geldt voor iedereen die wakker wil worden. Ik voer geen Russische propaganda, ik publiceer logica, feiten, en indien die feiten door Russen worden verteld, want gecontroleerd waar, dan zou ik de waarheid onrecht aandoen door die feiten links te laten liggen. Datzelfde geldt voor iedere wereldburger. Ook voor jou, Koblenko.

Politicoloog?

Tot je werkelijk op de hoogte bent, Koblenko: verwijder de titel politicoloog.
Je bent het niet voordat de titel “Dr.” voor je naam staat, maar zelfs dan ben je nog niet per se Oekraïne-Rusland deskundige. Daar komt veel en veel meer bij kijken.
Je toont aan dat je gewoon simpelweg en rechtuit gezegd: onwetend bent, zelfs bewust onwetend omdat er overal correcte neutrale informatie te vinden is, en omdat je jezelf politicoloog noemt ben je mijns inziens verplicht het volk voor te lichten met feiten, niet met wat “cherry-picking” feitjes, of wat 1-dags impressies, wat gevoelens betreffende Kiev en de voornaam van je zoon, een interview met een Oekraïne-onwaardige persoon die samen met wie zij haar man noemt in Canada applaudisseerde voor een Duitse nazi veteraan28, haar “man” volgt terwijl ze weet dat die vuile oorlog door toedoen van haar man realiteit werd door te luisteren naar Boris Johnson29, doch gestopt had kunnen worden, en weet van de jaarlijkse pro Bandera30 tochten in Kiev (of weet je dat niet Koblenko?), nee, de volle waarheid, tot in alle complexe details en sub details.

Verklaring

Natuurlijk zou ik beschouwd kunnen worden als iemand die ook kopieert en plakt, als een papegaai fungeert, betreffende het intellectuele gedachtegoed van alle genoemde wetenschappers. Echter. Mijn eigen goed ontwikkelde autonome denken vond herkenning in wat die wetenschappers vertelden, heb het ervaren als het grootste intellectuele goed dat een mens kan ontvangen. Eindelijk kwamen er echte denkers op mijn pad, betreffende de wereldpolitiek en wereldgeschiedenis. Alle puzzelstukjes vielen op hun plek met hetgeen zij aanreikten.

This investigation was reported in collaboration with RealClearInvestigations.

#8. Norway: cancellation and censorship of science

Introduction

On February 14, 2024, Professor Glenn Diesen[1][2][3][4] published several posts[1][2][3][4] on X in which he reports on the cancel and censorship culture, as practiced by the Norwegian Aage Borchgrevink[1]. Although Borchgrevink is listed on various websites and Wikipedia pages as a human rights activist, works at the Norwegian Helsinki Committee, and is chairman of the Norwegian NFFO, the Norwegian Non-Fiction Writers and Translators Association, he is not who he pretends to be.
What Glenn Diesen describes in the following articles, posted on X, corresponds with the experiences so many others and also I had with Aage Borchgrevink on X: there is zero willingness to be informed about the scientific facts regarding political issues. He distorts facts, creates misinformation, and is a USA propaganda activist, not a human rights activist. The same applies to the Helsinki Committee, and the NFFO.

1. The Norwegian Non-Fiction Writers and Translators Association (NFFO)

…….. announced that they cancelled their participation as a co-organiser for a public debate about the conflict in the Middle East because I am one of the speakers. I wear this as a badge of honour. One of Norway’s leading propagandists who has been writing hit-pieces about me for years in the media just happens to be a chairman of NFFO who announced the cancellation. So, the person behind the organisation that cancelled their participation, because I am allegedly controversial, is the same person who has been working tirelessly to depict me as controversial to have me fired as a professor from the university. These are two cheeks of the same arse, but this is conveniently omitted by those reporting on this story.

I do not use the term “propagandist” lightly. This propagandist works for the Helsinki Committee, a “human rights organisation” financed by the CIA-cutout National Endowment for Democracy (NED). When Reagan established NED as an extension of the CIA in 1983, it was to manipulate civil society in other countries (see tweet below). NED and its proxies only focus on human rights in adversarial states and thus sell all great power conflicts as a fight between democracy and authoritarianism (good vs evil), while claiming the source credibility of a “human rights organisation” that enables them to dismiss critics as enemies of freedom. When this Norwegian “human rights activist” does not slander me in the media and shames my university for permitting academic freedom, he is campaigning against Julian Assange and other critics of the US.

This is not simply an issue to a silly propagandist discrediting NFFO. Censorship, cancellations and the corruption of institutions have detrimental effects on society. After a decade of war in Ukraine, Norwegians are still not exposed to any arguments and evidence that deviate from NATO’s narrative. Norway will give the US sovereign control over 15 military bases on its soil to confront Russia in the Arctic and Norway has become one of the most eager weapon suppliers in the Ukrainian proxy war – with almost no public debate about the impact on our security as only one argument is permitted and dissent comes with great social cost. Anyone attempting to explain the arguments of the opposing side can be denounced for “legitimising” the opponent and thus smeared as a “Putinist”.

Our discourse subsequently consists of clichés and slogans without substance, simplified and dumbed down to a narrative of goodies versus baddies in which ever-more weapons are the path to peace, diplomacy and negotiations are dangerous, and censorship is vital to protect our democracy.

All is not well with freedom of speech and academic freedom in this country. I have published 11 academic books, which have been translated into several languages. Yet, an organisation devoted to academic writing cancelled their participation as a co-organiser because a ridiculous NED-financed “human rights activist” has accused me of working for Russia. Also, the debate they withdrew support from is not even about Russia, but the Middle East…

2. The Norwegian Helsinki Committee

…….. should be designated as a propaganda organisation due to its funding from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED): – Washington Post writes that NED has been the “sugar daddy of overt operations” and “what used to be called ‘propaganda’ and can now simply be called ‘information'”. – NED was inaugurated by President Reagan to conceal influence operations by US intelligence as work on democracy and human rights. – Documents released by the Reagan presidential library reveal that NED cooperated closely with CIA propaganda initiatives. – Allen Weinstein, a cofounder of NED, acknowledged: “a lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA”. – Philip Agee, a CIA whistle-blower, explained that NED was established as a “propaganda and inducement program” to subvert foreign nations and style it as a democracy promotion initiatives.

The Norwegian Helsinki Committee wrote a 7-page long article about me (plus front page), in which they pressured the university to terminate my employment as I allegedly violate international law by supporting Russian war propaganda. – This is a strange allegation as I have been very openly opposed to the war from day one, but my crime as a professor of Russian politics has been to engage with Russian media. And this is allegedly in breach of international law. – The article makes no sense and was published in a newspaper where the author’s wife is an editor, but it is nonetheless cited in numerous efforts to censor and cancel. – It is beyond absurd that government-funded “non-governmental organisations” masquerading as “human rights organisations” can routinely attack academic freedoms and manipulate civil society in our country to ensure there is only one acceptable narrativ

3. Tweets by Aage Borchgrevink

Notice how in all these tweets (and all his articles), he attempts to shame the university into cancelling dissent. Is this normal for a state-financed “human rights activist” and a chairman of an organisation for authors? Click picture to enlarge:

4. Borchgrevink’s cancellation

He is very proud to censor and cancel. Unworthy of an open society. Click picture to enlarge.

5. Professor Glenn Diesen about the Tucker Carlsen interview with Vladimir Putin

The subjects “propaganda“, “freedom of speech“, and “censorship” start at 16:34 in the video ”Is America in decline: The US could lose the war against Russia – CBC Weekly Talk (Azerbaijan)”

Anastasia Lavrina: I don’t know if you watched the last interview of Vladimir Putin to American journalist Tucker Carlson and immediately after the West started to criticize the journalist for this interview. Why do you think the West turned against the American journalist in this particular interview is there any specific issues on the agenda?

Glenn Diesen: Well, they denounced the interview as propaganda before had even been released so I think it’s quite obvious that this doesn’t look good in terms of our principle of free speech because a lot of the attacks you know calling him a Putin puppet and you know this kind of name calling it’s not just childish but it’s also completely devoid of any substance. There’s no real criticism of you know the questions he asked or the direction he took it, so I think it demonstrates I think an unwillingness to present the opposite side of the argument and this is a huge problem.
I always make the point that at least during the Cold War we knew what Moscow’s arguments were. We didn’t feel the need to censor it but these days there’s a huge amount of censorship going on now here in the west, not only censoring Russian media but also journalist academics within the West who dare to explain what the Russians are thinking, what they’re doing, are accused of legitimizing what the Russians are doing, and one sees the call for censorship and cancellation immediately arises, so I think that a lot of the war narrative which we have been building over the past two years is based on their flawed assumption.

I don’t think many people anymore in the west really know much about very basic facts which can be proven, so I think there’s a huge concern that the whole narrative for war is disappearing and so the the need for narrative control. I think this is the greatest concern, and why there was such a fierce opposition to the Tucker Carlson interview of President Putin.
