\u2022 Messages on social media (Twitter) in which they attack a leading German politician in the run-up to the elections, to influence and turn voters against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 The medium that promotes them is RT Deutsch (the German-language version of RT), which is supported by the Russian state apparatus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The creation of fear in the peoples<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this way, the conditions are created for a people’s critical choices to advance Russia’s views, assumptions, and strategic interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RT Deutsch focuses on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1.<\/strong> In promoting vaccination phobia for Covid-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.<\/strong> In the propaganda against the center-left party and against the party of the Greens, while supporting the far-right and Euro-skeptical party AFD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.<\/strong> To create conditions of discord and bigotry that aim to lead a portion of the German people to cause social unrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The technique of misinformation and material-moral support of far-right parties, which usually succeed against the West, is a technique widely used by the USSR during the Cold War to fully support the Communist parties in Western Europe to promote discord. against the democratic way of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step to a conscious transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Propagandists always aim to create in societies that target the feeling of fear, because they know that the problem of a society is fear. Whatever evil befalls man is through fear. Fear is created by the concept of need. Man is afraid because he will be deprived of something he needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n False needs created by false information create overwhelming fears. The inflation of needs creates and magnifies fears.

Limiting fears to natural fears only allows us to become freer people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Given the past accusations against Russia for interfering in the 2016 US elections, Russia continues this practice with the influence of “soft power” to…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[818,390],"tags":[2898,779,2899],"class_list":["post-5915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-europe","category-politics","tag-germany-2","tag-elections","tag-foreign-electoral-intervention"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5915","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5915"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5915\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5918,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5915\/revisions\/5918"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5915"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5915"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5915"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.liberalglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/image-47.png\")
