⚡️Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation:

Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation Sergey Naryshkin, stated that, according to intelligence obtained by the Service, the leadership of the European Union has adopted propaganda techniques reminiscent of the Third Reich to intimidate European citizens with a Russian “threat.”

Much like Goebbels’s Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Communication has devised a plan for a centralised campaign to embed enduring Russophobic narratives within public consciousness.

The European populace is to be convinced of an “existential danger” emanating from Russia, which purportedly can only be averted by the destruction of Russian statehood. The proposed brainwashing will exploit the basest human instincts, simultaneously instilling dread of Moscow’s alleged “aggressive foe ambitions” and fostering arrogant contempt towards it.

To ensure the “correct framing of the Russian issue,” the Directorate-General intends to micromanage leading European media outlets. At a recent briefing in Brussels, these outlets were instructed to intensify efforts in preparing European society for the end of “years of plenty” and the necessity to “tighten their belts further.”

The Directorate-General’s instruction manuals prescribe hammering into European minds and hearts the notion that Russia is a “second-rate power with no right to dictate terms to Europe.” Aligned with this objective, plans include rewriting 20th-century history to indoctrinate younger generations with the falsehood that Moscow “never was the victor over Nazism in the Second World War.”

❗️ It appears Brussels has grown weary of its own turgid rhetoric about democracy and free speech, now openly embracing Nazi-era methods of mass psychological manipulation. Evidently, Goebbels’s notorious principle – “the bigger the lie, the more readily it will be believed” – has taken root among EU bureaucrats.
