Assassinating Truth

When the media assassinate the truth, people get hurt. That’s the moral to the Robert Fico story

Robert Fico has been shot by a crazy guy, a bad poet, but a guy who reads.

Such things happen—we all know that. And there a lot of bad poets. A lot of people who read but are still illiterate.

But this was not just a lonely, unstable personality wanting to get rid of some frustration by hurting somebody.

There was a political agenda.

The prime minister of Slovakia was a target because of his policies. Because he didn’t want Slovaks to pay for death in Donbas. He also didn’t like the Mainstream Media. He didn’t like pro-Western NGOs. He called journalists assholes. Oh, be careful, Caitlin!

We are told the shooter acted alone. We are also told him has no history of violence.

On the one hand, L’uboš Blaha, deputy speaker of parliament and a senior member of Fico’s Smer party, told opposition MPs:

This is your work. I want to express my deep disgust at what you have been doing here for the last few years. You, the liberal media, the political opposition, what kind of hatred did you spread towards Robert Fico? You built gallows for him.

On the other hand, Věra Jourová, European Commission vice-president, told the Financial Times.

This tragic event should be a lesson to all of us….All over Europe, we can see increased polarisation and hate…. We have to understand that verbal violence can lead to physical violence.

By and large, the MSM insinuate that Fico and Smer were somehow responsible, notably because they had cut off support for Ukraine in defiance of EU, NATO, and European parties and rein public media and NGOs, especially those funded by Soros—and objected to media narratives that supporting war that has cost thousands of lives while beggaring Europe.

They had undermined “European democracy”.

But voters in Slovakia had had a clear-cut choice.

Michal Simeck was pro-West, pro EU, pro NATO and pro-America. And loved by the MSM.

Robert Fico was openly pro-Russian, anti-American, anti-Western, anti-NATO and anti-European Union — closer ideologically to Hungary.

The voters chose a heterogenous Fico coalition of left, right, and center. Populist. Therefore popular. Therefore undemocratic—” fueling hate”.

Still, one must ask who has fueled “hate” in Europe most of all?

Obviously, the mainstream media and pro-Western NGOs. This hate has led to thousands of deaths in Ukraine—accomplished not through direct hate speech—but through lies, primarily Russophobia, a new racism.

It was these that lies begat the Nazi takeover in Ukraine and the war that followed. It is these lies that continue the war. Children die every day because of them.

What is worse? The man who pulls the trigger or the people that give him the gun and tell him who to shoot?
