 The outbreak of war in Ukraine transformed control over the press and public

debate. This control was first exercised through the financial control of
publishing groups, print media, television companies and by dividing public TV
between the various parties. Today a militarized information and debate prevails,
supported by a censorship that is inspired by ideas and opinions judged to be
politically correct ---- and therefore legitimate, while all other opinions are
put on the index and pointed out as reprehensible, to be condemned, prosecuted
and indexing those who formulated them and those who share them, compiling
prescription lists, exhibiting the photos of those who are included on the front
pages of the newspapers. We hunt for opinions expressed publicly or on the web to
reproach them, pointing to the media pillory the person who formulated them,
depriving
legitimation of political and ethical positions which, on the other hand, have
all the dignity to be expressed, supported and shared.
When it happens it is not surprising considering that in the ranking on freedom
and objectivity of information, the ranking of Reporters sans Frontières places
Italy in 58 place. far from the other countries of Europe.
Against this technique of building a single thought, there is no other defense
than to strongly reiterate the reasons for one's opinions and affirmations: the
fight is unequal because the strength and pervasiveness of controlled and
heterodirected communication is formidable, supported by a heavily manipulated
public opinion. .
In the climate of McCarthyism, the witch-hunt that has been created, one cannot
criticize Israel for expropriating Palestinians from their land every day,
expelling them from their homes, and for unleashing sudden pre-emptive attacks on
an open-air prison such as the Strip Gaza, where 1,645,500 inhabitants are forced
to live, on just 365 km², with a density of 4570.83. Those who criticize all this
are reminded of the Shoah, ignoring that it was the work of Nazism and that what
happened to the detriment of the Jews does not, however, give the right to
repress other peoples.
The Russian Revolution is condemned, neglecting the crimes of the Tsarist regime,
failing to distinguish between the role of the Bolsheviks in the suppression of
the revolution, the responsibility and crimes of Stalinism and the aspirations of
the Russian people to achieve an egalitarian society; the Cuban revolution is put
on the index, forgetting the horrors of the regime of Fulgenzio Batista ousted by
the Revolution and its collusion with the mafia.
NATO is presented as a peace alliance and fails to say that "Gladio", which
organized the massacre of the state, was a NATO structure (as the investigations
of the judiciary, after so many years, have shown); that the Alliance did the
same in Belgium, organizing massacres and attacks, as demonstrated by the
judiciary of that country.
Regarding the Ukrainian war, we fail to mention the strategy of the Ukrainian
oligarchs and the government of that country who organized and financed the
boycott of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to damage the Western European economy,
as evidenced by their lobbying interventions at the United States
Congress.[1]That Britain's interventionism in Ukraine constitutes one of the
effects of Brexit and aims to destabilize the EU and divide it, creating
privileged relations of some countries that are part of it with Great Britain
Brittany.[2]And we could go on indefinitely! It will be said that, as in any
country, censorship is triggered during the war, government tissue papers are
used to provide piloted and friendly information, but the Government denies the
state of war, despite having brought the country into war without a vote.
parliamentary.

A dirty war

Of course, it is a dirty war, a proxy war, sending Ukrainians to fight and using
them as cannon fodder, literally and materially. It will be said that the victims
are consenting and defend themselves from an invading state, which responds to a
fact, but it fails to mention the repression of the Russian-speaking component of
the country by prohibiting the use of the Russian language, canceling the Minsk
agreements which provided for administrative autonomy for the populations of the
Donbass are among the reasons for the conflict.
While the attacked Ukrainians are defending themselves, they are silent on the
interests of the United States in particular
the European economy, to break the economic relations between Russia and the EU.
If any political scientist or commentator dares to raise doubts, even formulate
hypotheses, he is put on the table and pointed out as a collaborator of Putin.
While portraying Putin as absolute evil and Kirril - his mentor - as supporters
of obscurantist values ​​and accusing them of populist nationalism, the
heterodirect news supports the Ukrainian regime which has the same positions,
shares the same values ​​and condemns the West for protection minorities, women
and gender differences, making a friend of the oligarchs and oligarch himself -
Zelensky - a hero celebrated by the media. It fails to mention the competing
interests of oligarchs and Western capitalists in the purchase of Ukrainian lands
and the control of its mineral resources, concealing the economic reasons
underlying the ongoing conflict, focusing only on the reasons for strategic
equilibrium.
Faced with all this, we will never tire of remembering and reconstructing the
facts and inviting everyone to reflect and freely form their own opinion.
