DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: The public opinion is turning from politically correct liberal ideology to mental illness

SUMMARY

The rise in activities against the Russian threat is directly connected to drafting the new Norwegian defence budget. Facts are not noticed even when Moscow is waving them under the nose, this happened with the witnesses of the Douma fake gas attack who were brought to Hague. The situation is becoming worse as the public opinion is turning from politically correct liberal ideology to becoming mentally ill.

RESPONSE

Regarding the draft defence budget, its actually exactly the opposite - European countries have been increasing their defence spending after the acts of aggression by Russian military forces in Ukraine. The claim is probably a reference to Russia bringing witnesses to a meeting at OPCW. "Russia has been accused of carrying out an “obscene masquerade” for transporting 17 Syrian people to Europe to assert that no chemical weapons attack occurred in the town of Douma earlier this month," The Guardian reports. Numerous countries called for an end to such unacceptable Russian defamation of the OPCW. They also called the so-called information meeting at OPCW headquarters that Russia held 'nothing more than a crude propaganda exercise'. See similar cases here. Claims about public opinion are similar to other examples of pro-Kremlin disinformation about the moral decay of Europe. "Threatened values" is one of the most common narratives used by pro-Kremlin outlets. See also earlier cases alleging that in contrast to Russia, western Europe is abandoning Christian roots and that unlike Russia, the West is not about fairness or solidarity and it degrades traditional values and endangers societies. Furthermore, all-Russian history is highly moral as opposed to the Western one, which is full of violence and evil, and all high-ranking politicians in the Baltic states are likely implicated in paedophilia.
