Critical media consumption instead of supervised thinking Joe Biden, Donald Trump, a laptop and Ukraine
Things are not always what they seem or what interested circles want them to seem. More
than ever, in a turbulent time like the present, critical thinking is required, also and especially from Catholics, also from priests. It becomes alarming when a counterpart repeats almost verbatim what was heard on the television news the night before, but remains inaccessible to other arguments that were not heard there. Supervised thinking, as done by mainstream media, may be convenient, but it is not an acceptable form of information gathering. In order to sharpen vigilance, this should be demonstrated by a concrete example with a current reference, because it also has to do with Ukraine, where violence is currently reigning. That it has come to this, has indirectly probably also to do with the example. In contrast to the mainstream, however, no opinion is to be given here,
but the need is to be awakened to question, to examine for oneself and perhaps also to recognize and admit to oneself that and how manipulation is taking place, that one has
perhaps been manipulated oneself, in order to be immune to it in the future.
The shock of Trump's election victory that changed much.
In November 2016, Donald Trump was unexpectedly elected U.S. president, something the establishment had not expected, neither the Republican nor the Democratic establishment. The establishment in the transatlantic satellite states is also linked to this establishment and is constantly forced to adapt. The fight against this election victory began the very day after the election. It
happened on two levels. Trump had already been discredited on a broad front throughout
the pre-election and election campaign with the intention of making him appear unelectable, even "impossible," in the eyes of the public. In the U.S., however, this strategy did not work. In Europe, on the other hand, it did, as polls showed. This is proof that opinion control is more firmly established and more densely developed in Europe. This fact should already be reason enough to become alert and to subject the media landscape and one's own media consumption to a critical review. Above all, the question of the credibility scale arises. In order to understand why a mainstream medium presents consumers with what and how, one must know who owns the medium or who controls it and what interests are connected with it.
After Trump's election victory, the strategy changed: On one level, the new president
was directly attacked in order to hinder his ability to act and to boycott his term in office;
on the other level, structural interventions were intended to prevent an election victory like Trump's from happening again. The latter is done primarily through censorship of the
Internet. After Barack Obama's election in 2008, the Internet was celebrated as an
instrument that would finally make real "grassroots democracy" a reality. At least that's what the mainstream told the people. After Donald Trump's election victory, the blame was placed on the Internet, which was "dangerous" and "subversive" because it was without control. Since then, increasingly radical censorship measures have been established to force social networks in particular under the same establishment control to which the classic mainstream media are already subject. The censorship is arbitrary and is directed in each case against political opponents and undesirable opinions, whether in the 2020 US election campaign, whether on Corona … Censorship can be applied at will.
