The United States has become a laughing stock of the world as a result of its decent into neo-McCarthyism and anti-Russian hysteria. US fear mongering includes blaming Russia and Vladimir Putin personally for hacking American elections, making Hillary Clinton lose the election, trying to establish a Fourth Reich, invading Syria and Ukraine, and creating an army waiting to take over the government and burn down the country.
Russia and Putin have now taken the place of Al Qaeda and ISIS as the great bogeyman in place to scare Americans into doing whatever they’re told. Europe also has fallen in line with the American insanity proving that the virus of cultural disintegration travels both ways across the Atlantic.
But now England is attempting to leapfrog the United States in terms of the most ridiculous anti-Russian propaganda possible. This time, it is being reported by The Mirror that Russian cyber units at the behest of Vladimir Putin himself are hard at work propagandizing and attempting to convince people in Britain not to get vaccinated.
As The Mirror reports:
Russian cyber units are spreading false information about flu and measles jabs in the UK, experts warn.
Vladimir Putin is believed to want to erode trust in US and European governments.
The state-sponsored units are spreading the lies on social media to destabilise Britain, it is claimed.
The Kremlin has previously been accused of attempting to influence Brexit and Scottish independence.
Now, it is feared it is trying to create distrust over flu jabs and the MMR measles vaccine.
Chris Phillips, former National Counter Terrorism Security Office head, warned Russian cyber farms have become a threat to daily life.
He told the Mirror today: “This is all about destabilisation by external forces. War is ever changing and becoming much more cyber-based.
“For generations, governments in the UK and the West have been extremely worried about destabilisation from external forces.
No, seriously, they actually reported that. Obviously, we won’t spend time trying to debunk something that clearly does not exist since it is obvious that the real fear is that British citizens are doing more and more research on vaccination and determining that vaccines are neither safe nor effective.
Pushing collectivism and communitarian lifestyles has not accomplished what it has set out to do so the natural next step is to claim that the Russians are secretly behind a mission to ensure that U.S. and European people are under-vaccinated so that they presumably die of some sort of measles plague.
The propaganda is as stupid as it sounds, but it’s also incredibly dangerous. While many may be tempted to laugh at the “Russians are trying to destroy our way of life and anything contrary to what we tell you is Russian propaganda” position, it is actually no laughing matter. What the British government is doing is equating a personal decision and the exercise of a human right as anti-government and anti-British. It is arguing that to not vaccinate or to even question the safety of vaccinations is to fall under the sway of the Russians. Now that British citizens are being warned that distrust of vaccines is a Russian tactic of subversion one can only wonder how long it will be before refusal to vaccinate is literally considered treason.
While it is fun to make jokes about how infantile state propaganda has become, we must be aware that state propaganda is reaching a point where any behavior of which it does not approve is being equated with Russian subversion and an attempt by outside forces to destroy the country.
The Mirror continues:
The Russians have long felt that the UK, America and the European Union is a major threat to them so have developed major strategies in how to interfere with politics, policy, and now it seems the interference is impacting on vital decisions in our daily lives.”
He added: “The art of being able to exert this control over a society is arguably one of the most powerful weapons available in modern warfare.
“If the Russian government, or whoever, wishes to exert this kind of influence, is able to cause difficulty in decisions, in trusting the government of the day in that country, or otherwise trusted media and news organisations, then so much the better for them.”
Security services are so concerned over the threat to public health and security that Government departments have been ordered to monitor social media and flag up risky articles.
Health chiefs have had emergency meetings over the spread “fake news” over vaccination campaigns.
Notice that the former NCTSO Chief is literally equating lack of trust in government and media organizations as a risk to national security and an example of Russian aggression. The fact that health chiefs have had emergency meetings over those questioning vaccines demonstrates that there is no such thing as a free society in Britain.
If British citizens exercise their human rights and the result is emergency meetings, propaganda, and national security hysteria, the state is clearly reacting in a manner that seeks to control free thought and free choice. This is not freedom, this is not democracy, it is a boot stamping on a human face.
