DISINFO: US-controlled European media affect the outcome of the European elections
SUMMARY
As the 2024 European elections are approaching, US-controlled European media in Paris, Brussels, Warsaw, Athens and elsewhere, are tasked to advance a specific agenda. They should narrate daily about military actions allegedly started by “aggressive Putin” and to conceal flaws of particular EP election candidates. The US actors owning the European puppet theatre need only carefully selected individuals in the European parliament. Their mission is to promote the LGBT and green agenda, to vote for sending long-range missiles to Ukraine, legalise drugs and sex reassignment.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the morally corrupt West, censorship and control of the media in the western countries, and ‘lost sovereignty’, presenting EU-based media and the EU as a whole as US puppets. They are spread in the context of the elections for the European Parliament scheduled to be held on 6 to 9 June 2024. Read our analysis on the key tactics, techniques, and procedures employed by pro-Kremlin disinformers in connection with the European Parliament elections.
Pro-Kremlin outlets regularly portray European states or the EU itself as vassals, puppet states or colonies of the US and NATO. See our analysis of the Kremlin's claims about the EU's lost sovereignty. The US does not control the EU countries and EU as a whole. Neither the US controls media in the EU countries. According to Reporters Without Borders (RSF), the nations with the most press freedom and freedom of speech are western countries, with European nations predominating.
The European Union is a sovereign entity, created by the voluntary initiative of European nations, and it has its own, independent foreign policy. Its citizens are directly represented in the European Parliament and Member States are represented in the European Council and the Council of the EU. The composition of the European Parliament is the outcome of free and fair elections not of the falsely suggested US manipulation of media outlets across the EU.
Read similar disinformation cases claiming that European states are Washington's puppets, that Western societies are decadent, worship money and are devoted to the obsessive search for pleasure, that there is no freedom of speech in Europe, and that the West cannot cope with freedom of opinion and imposes censorship.
