Recently, we have experienced two hate murders motivated by the media. The murderer who shot at the Tepláreň bar on Zámocká Street was inspired by the hatred spread by alternative media. The assassin who attacked Robert Fico was inspired by the hateful propaganda and hoaxes of some mainstream media.
Both camps spread hatred. Both camps have nothing to reproach each other for.
While Ľuboš Blaha and Robert Fico organized anti-vax rallies where they vulgarly insulted the president, the PS party's rallies also feature a lot of hatred and hoaxes.
The media spreads a huge amount of hoaxes and hatred. Even before the assassination, I was of the opinion that media regulation should be strengthened in Slovakia, just as it is standard in Western countries. The media cynically abuses the absence of regulation. Newspapers should be regulated similarly to radio and television by the Council for Broadcasting and Retransmission.
The regulation should apply to both mainstream and alternative media.
The fact that some government politicians refuse to communicate with some media is understandable, as some media take any statements by politicians out of context and distort them.
Both the media and opposition parties have the right to constructively criticize the government. However, 80% of the criticism in far-left media and opposition parties towards the government turns out to be hoaxes and lies. The deliberate spreading of lies should not be confused with freedom of speech or constructive criticism.
Lies lead to frustration, and frustration led to the assassination.
On the other hand, 20% of the criticism of the government, whether from the media or opposition politicians, is based on truth and constructive criticism.
According to the information available so far, the perpetrator appears to be mentally healthy and does not suffer from psychosis or obsessive-compulsive disorder that would lead him to the assassination. He was driven to the act only by hatred and hoaxes spread by selected media and political party rallies.
Even on the day of the assassination, some domestic and foreign media did not hesitate to divide society with hoaxes that the assassin was a pro-Russian person and that there was a Russian trace in the assassination. The information was also intensively spread on social networks. This was information taken out of context, that 8 years ago the assassin had contacts with the Slovak Recruits for a short time. It is also questionable whether it was even known at that time that this group had a pro-Russian orientation. The fact is that in 2019 the assassin voted for Zuzana Čaputová for president and attended Progressive Slovakia rallies. At the government meeting in Dolná Krupá, the assassin shouted slogans against Fico.
The assassin was most motivated to murder due to hoaxes spread by the media and some political parties about the reform of the criminal code and the abolition of the special prosecutor's office. While the professional public perceived these legislative changes as either neutral or positive, the media and politicians spread hoaxes on this topic and scared people with the demise of the rule of law. They spread fear and hatred, which led to the assassination.
The fact that the PS party itself was only doing propaganda on the topic of the criminal code and that this party itself does not believe what it preaches was shown in the comedies in connection with the topic of raped women. Huge emotional hateful comedies in front of the media, but no actions, no amendment in parliament.
The assassin murdered because of hoaxes about the abolition of the Special Prosecutor's Office. Many honest journalists are also changing their minds about the Special Prosecutor's Office. A prominent journalist, Ivan Mego, in his video just before the assassination, expressed a change of opinion and agreed with both the government and the professional public that the investigations were manipulated.
A lot of hoaxes have been spread in both the domestic and foreign press about the reform of public television. Although we do not know how this reform will eventually turn out, most of the points in the reform have good ideas and foundations. Not to mention that the future director of the television will have to be decided by the entire coalition and not just the far-right SNS. I also saw an interview somewhere with one of the members of the public television council, and this person views the amendment to the law neutrally and sees several positive aspects in it.
Both alternative and mainstream media benefit from dividing society, stirring up passions, and spreading hatred, as it increases their readership and viewership. The second thing is that it leads to hate crimes. The media should reflect on themselves.
After the assassination, far-left media outlets such as Aktuality, Denník N, Denník SME, Týždeň, Markíza, and opposition politicians have two options. Either they come to their senses, or the assassination will be a reason for an even greater division of society.
And let's not forget the hoaxes of the Postoj newspaper, of which there were also many. The Postoj newspaper also has a significant impact, contributing to the polarization of society, which contributed to the assassination attempt on Robert Fico.
The daily Postoj can be perceived as even more extremely oriented than Denník N. Postoj has not invited a single coalition politician to its podcasts yet. Denník N has. Objectivity and balance are probably the last things that the editor-in-chief of Postoj is interested in.
I do not deny that some of the statements made by government politicians after the assassination were very tasteless, but the lack of self-reflection was also evident among selected journalists. Both opinion camps have nothing to reproach each other for. Marek Vagovič and Peter Hanák once again added fuel to the fire.
After the parliamentary and presidential elections, some media outlets could not stand the defeat of their favorite political party and started to sulk and throw themselves on the ground like spoiled children. They channeled their frustration into spreading hatred or consciously spreading hoaxes in the spirit of the motto "Fico is Satan, the end justifies the means".
Furthermore, I will use a certain figurative metaphorical comparison. The PS party, its voters, as well as the PS-affiliated media, behave similarly to football hooligans. Our favorite football club lost, so out of anger and frustration, we will cause disturbances and smash shop windows.
While in the past it was typical for hatred to spread only in alternative media, and liberal media and liberal people were typical for their tolerance, today the times have changed, and both opinion camps are equally hateful and equally radicalized. Both opinion camps have nothing to reproach each other for.
For probably the first time in my life, I had to agree with a video by the most famous neo-Nazi, Livia, who was outraged by the hateful, intolerant, and angry comments of PS and Democrats party voters in response to the presidential election results. For God's sake, where have we gotten to that an extreme right-wing politician has to re-educate voters of an extreme left-wing political party ?
We live in an extremely polarized society where one opinion camp considers the other opinion camp to be pure evil, a symbol of Satan. While readers of alternative media consider Progressives to be zombies who want to re-operate our children to the opposite sex, on the other hand, from the PS and from the far-left media, we see hoaxes about Satan Fico, about the total demise of the rule of law, about the return of the mafia, about a government that wants to totally destroy nature and national parks. The State Secretary at the Ministry of the Environment, who is responsible for nature protection, although he meets the highest professional criteria in the history of the ministry, is portrayed by the far-left media as an incapable, illiterate imbecile who does not even know what he is doing.
So far, the current government is doing well; in some areas, prospective reforms are prepared, such as the EIA reform or nature protection reforms. Even after 7 months of governing, no corruption case has emerged. This is a much better balance so far than the governments of Matovič and Heger. The mistakes of the current government politicians are not significant yet, there is not much to criticize, and that is precisely why journalists and the PS party are nervous. They have to invent hoaxes that lead to hatred.
I think it is right that the PS party also had an awakening after the assassination attempt, and Šimečka announced the suspension of party meetings and political campaigning. Even the PS party has probably realized that they went too far with hoaxes and spreading hatred. I believe that Šimečka will also manage to keep his promise.
There are no such big differences between the PS and Smer parties that it would be worth such a big division of society, which the media are creating. The situation is not black and white at all. The Smer party are not the satanists that some media portray them to be. And the PS party are not as wonderful as they are portrayed by some media with an extremely left-wing orientation, such as Denník N. As a person who, as one of the few, one of a few dozen people, sees into the behind-the-scenes political-power media games, I claim that many voters would be very disappointed if they learned the very unpleasant truth about the PS party. You will not learn many pieces of information in either mainstream or alternative media. The PS has not even entered the government yet and has already committed serious corruption scandals at Budaj's former ministry and at Vall's Bratislava city hall. And this is just a small sample of the problems with this party.
Proof that the media has declared a "life and death" war on the government is that they draw a large number of hoaxes from the most recent extremist and criminal corrupt element, Michal Kiča. And that's just one example of many. I have warned the media about the corrupt and criminal background of this man. Not only have the media not written a single article about this man's corruption, but he is even their main source of hoaxes. And the media doesn't mind at all that this man has supplied them with nothing but hoaxes. A journalist who has basic ethical principles, if he draws information from a source that spreads only one hoax, must immediately exclude such a source of information. On the contrary, the extreme left-wing media do not mind at all that this man constantly and repeatedly lies and they still quote him. One hoax is refuted and Kiča invents another new hoax, which some of the media uncritically quote again. And so it repeats again and again. It is a manifestation of the desperation of some of the media, who cannot find anything on the government, so they have to make do with the insignificant extremist and corrupt Kiča. This approach has only one problem – this is also why the assassination attempt on the prime minister happened. I believe that after the assassination attempt, more editors-in-chief and journalists will reflect on themselves and stop this approach.
Another example of the double standards of some media is the case of Andrej Danko's crashed traffic light. On the one hand, I condemn Andrej Danko's behavior, but on the other hand, this offense by a politician certainly did not warrant such great media attention that Danko was lynched for it for 3 weeks straight and nothing else was discussed in the media. If the same affair had happened to an unknown person who is not a politician, the case would not even have been dealt with in court but only with a simple fine. If the same affair had happened to a politician from the PS party, probably no one would have found out about it, nothing would have been published in the media, or only one inconspicuous article would have been written about it. Furthermore, regarding the Tomáš Hellebrandt affair, only two newspapers wrote a very inconspicuous article about how the hospital filed a criminal complaint against him for spreading the HIV AIDS infection. All other media only wrote about some unknown infection.
It is also very difficult to look at double standards, or rather double standards, that I sent the media about 100 pages of corruption and other affairs about how corrupt people and extremists controlled Budaj's ministry. It would have been possible to write 100 investigative articles about it, but the media only wrote five. Self-proclaimed "anti-corruption" journalists were not interested in corruption because Budaj was not from the right political party. In contrast, there is the insignificant traffic light of Andrej Danko, which the media reported on for 3 weeks in a row. These manipulations of public opinion by some of the media also contributed to the polarization of society, which led to the assassination attempt.
I don't have this information confirmed, but apparently Michal Šimečka compared Fico to Hitler at a rally the day before the assassination attempt.
Journalist Martin Šimečka is known for his hateful statements. For example, he insulted voters of the ruling coalition, saying they support killing bears because bears are free creatures. He uses crude insults against voters of political parties he disagrees with. Martin Šimečka suffers from a personality disorder. According to scientific research, 10 to 13 percent of people suffer from a personality disorder. Šimečka is one of them. A mentally balanced person would not express themselves in this way.
Furthermore, I urge the media to address their frustration with the election results in a different way than they have so far. Spreading hatred towards politicians you don't like and towards their voters is not a solution. How about looking for the fault in the PS party? A much better solution would be, for example, for the media to pressure the Progressive Slovakia party to completely exclude ecological extremists such as Wiezik, Hojsík, and Shohlová from their party. This would bring the party better preferences. Excessive extremism harms the party. Greater interest in the problems of the regions would also help the party. An internal reform would help this political party. Maintaining preferences based on spreading hoaxes and hatred is not a sustainable solution.
Disconnecting the PS party from the finances of oligarchs who force the party to divide society, spread hoaxes and hatred, would also help the party.
I consider it an ugly act of pouring oil on the fire and cynicism that Minister Eštok misused the press conference on the assassination attempt to spread Russian propaganda about Russian "peace" in Ukraine. He repeatedly and provocatively emphasized that the assassination attempt was one of the reasons he decided to stop military aid to Ukraine. When it comes to this topic, on the contrary, Slovakia under the current government is among the biggest military supporters of Ukraine, and paradoxically, it was the President who blocked military aid to Ukraine during the caretaker government.
Just like Minister Šutaj Eštok, journalist Marek Vagovič made cynical statements after the assassination attempt. He wrote a status full of hatred and provocations. The status was in the context that he is an investigative journalist, he wrote about several Smer cases, Fico is evil, and therefore he has the right to provocatively criticize Fico even after the assassination attempt, when it was absolutely inappropriate. As a person who possesses very rare compromising information about Vagovič, which only a few dozen people know about, I can responsibly say that Vagovič is a hypocrite and not an investigative journalist. Where were you, Mr. Vagovič, when I sent you hundreds of materials about corruption at Budaj's ministry via email? Why were you silent then and didn't write any articles about it? Why do you publish scandals for one political party and censor another? Why do you have double standards? Where were you, Mr. Vagovič, when I sent you information about how Budaj's ministry was taken over by the organized corrupt criminal group BROZ, which, as soon as Budaj sat in the ministerial chair, he quickly signed subsidies for the ground squirrel, 5.5 million euros, where 95% of the money was stolen?
The editors of the daily N, who refrained from provocations like Vagovič, showed much greater self-reflection.
Investigative journalism in Slovakia has not existed for at least the last 4 years, because what pretends to be investigative journalism is just an unethical tool of political struggle, where we censor corruption scandals of one political party, publish scandals of another political party, or even invent false scandals based on hoaxes. A real investigative journalist must have the same standard for every political party.
Furthermore, to make matters worse, Vagovič criticizes the PS party for suspending meetings and political campaigns to calm the situation. Vagovič the instigator.
Another scandal is that the assassin was even at the 2018 protests for a Decent Slovakia. According to the photos, he can be seen speaking on the stage.
The assassin also attended Šimečka's political rallies, where he was one of the most active members, so it is highly probable that Šimečka himself remembered his face well. It would be very interesting to put Šimečka on a lie detector and ask him if he remembered the assassin's face before the assassination.
We see the polarization of society in RTVS itself, the public television, where there are presenters with their own shows from both the extreme right and the extreme left. If I were the head of RTVS, I would immediately cancel the shows of both extremes, and I had this opinion even before the assassination. Ostrihoňová or the left-wing extremist Michal Havran should never have been in RTVS. From the extreme right, Jaroslav Daniška, who suffers from a personality disorder, should not be in RTVS. Such extremists as Daniška or Havran, who would not even pass the most basic personality psychological tests, should not have any shows in RTVS.
TA3, with its exceptionally high-quality and talented presenters, is a great example of how to provide balanced news coverage without dividing society.
Havran became famous for his extremist advocacy of illegal economic migration from Muslim countries to Europe, for which he would not even find understanding within the PS party.
On the contrary, from the extreme right-wing camp, Jaroslav Daniška shocked with a video where he expresses great joy that Ukraine is currently not doing well on the front and that the Russian army is approaching the borders of Slovakia. From the context of the video, it is clear that negative news for Ukraine is very positive news for Daniška, and he really reveled in it. So, if Russian tanks were running through Slovakia, it seems that Mr. Daniška would be the first to wave a Russian flag at a Russian tank and would gladly welcome them. Furthermore, in the video, Daniška calls on the West to submit to Putin in everything, to obey Putin's every word, because he claims that this is the only way to peace. Mr. Daniška, really, don't be silly.
In some interviews, influential sociologist Michal Vašečka contributed to the division and polarization of society by contrasting people from the countryside and people from the city. He referred to people from the countryside as inferior.
On the Facebook page , the UNION of Regional Associations of Non-State Forest Owners of Slovakia explains how former minister Ján Budaj created the division of society and tension.
Robert Kaliňák, Erik Kaliňák , and Andrej Danko apologized for their statements that contributed to the division of society, although I am not aware that Robert Kaliňák had anything to apologize for. However, an apology was expected mainly from opposition politicians, who refused to apologize. Michal Šimečka promised at a press conference that the PS party would suspend its hate campaign for 100 days. Radicalized journalists criticized him for this accommodating step and urged Šimečka to continue dividing society as before. At a press conference on May 21, Šimečka revoked the peace. Šimečka is probably such a stupid person that the media has to dictate what he should do.
Even before the assassination of the Prime Minister, editor Markoš admonished journalists like Šimečka not to spread hatred.
We are the good ones, they are the bad ones https://dennikn.sk/3906326/my-sme-ti-dobri-oni-su-ti-zli/?ref=list
Šimečka's reaction to Markoš's is here. Šimečka reacted aggressively and offendedly. The original version of Šimečka's probably also contained a comparison of Fico to Hitler, later the article was modified.
Why I have no understanding for the voters of the ruling coalition https://dennikn.sk/3990664/preco-nemam-pochopenie-pre-volicov-vladnej-koalicie/?ref=lis t
Radicalization on the social network Reddit
I am following the situation on the social network Reddit with great concern. This American social network has grown radically in popularity in recent years and has a noticeable impact on public opinion in Slovakia as well.Prominent Slovak politicians, such as Martin Hojsík (PS), also have their own accounts on Reddit, where they try to address their fans.
The problem with this social network is that the extreme left in Slovakia and Europe gathers on Reddit. This means that mainly voters of the Progressive Slovakia party are most active on this social network.
You won't see such an aggressive, intolerant, and hateful extreme left anywhere else as you do on Reddit. There is also a lot of spreading of hoaxes against the current government. I am afraid that if someone from the extreme left murders next time, it will be a person radicalized by Reddit.
That is why I call on both Slovak secret services and the police to monitor Slovak citizens on this social network. The role of the secret services is to monitor every kind of extremism, not only the extreme right but also the extreme left.
If you look at the user's name and profile, it is quite easy to identify whether they are a Slovak citizen, even if they write in English.
Reddit provides a web version and a mobile application.
Reddit is predominantly in English, where frustrated voters of the PS party are sulking about the results of the parliamentary and presidential elections. They are at the psychological level of small children who, when sulking, throw themselves on the ground and try to tarnish Slovakia as much as possible and portray it in the worst possible light. Slovak citizens write in English.
I am a person who has accounts on the social networks X, Facebook, and Instagram, but I have seen the greatest radicalization on Reddit.
There are groups/rooms on Reddit called Europe and Slovakia with a very large following. Sometimes one can't help but be amazed by the numerous hoaxes in the Western press about political events in Slovakia. I'm afraid that foreign Western journalists have drawn most of their inspiration from Reddit.
I was on Reddit for only a few days and then I uninstalled the app because these radicalized lunatics were really getting on my nerves. One Slovak citizen wrote in English that "Slovakia is a Nazi and communist country". Another person wrote that in Slovakia we are so pro-Russian that someone was putting up billboards with the titles "Ukraine is the enemy" and "We cannot survive without Russia" in the international group Europa. In the end, it turned out that behind this provocation was not anyone pro-Russian but the madmen from the Democrats party. Frustrated and radicalized voters of the PS party have a strong need to portray Slovakia in the worst possible light, even in the European group .
The chairman of SaS is the second Matovič. He has a boorish and hateful way of communicating. He refuses to apologize for his hateful statements in the TA3 program.
There is not much difference between Igor Matovič and Branislav Gröhling in terms of communication style. While Richard Sulík was able to apologize for his mistakes, Branislav Gröhling was not. While Richard Sulík knew how to unite people, Branislav Gröhling divides them, similar to Matovič. Gröhling only speaks in general phrases about the need for reconciliation and unity, but when it's his turn, he refuses to do so.Everyone should start with themselves. But this does not apply to Gröhling. I honestly felt sorry for Gröhling when he embarrassed himself and got entangled in his own lies.
Even before the assassination attempt, I was very concerned that Gröhling had become the chairman of the SaS party due to his hateful communication. I mentioned this in my published podcasts. Unfortunately, my fears have come true.
The chairman of SaS, Branislav Gröhling, is also responsible for adding fuel to the fire, which led to the assassination. Even before the assassination, he shouted hateful remarks at the government at a party meeting. Richard Sulík had a much more moderate and consensual way of communicating than Branislav Gröhling. Gröhling had several joint press conferences with the mentally disturbed MP Hlina, which Sulík never did. Moreover, 90% of Hlina's criticism of the government turned out to be hoaxes. Not to mention that Hlina has a 10 times more boorish way of communicating and is 10 times more confrontational than Matovič. Even the media themselves refuse to publish many of Hlina's aggressive statuses or his press conferences. I wrote to Branislav Gröhling even before the assassination, telling him not to divide society and not to stand at a press conference with Hlina, not to support Hlina, because Hlina's aggression, boorishness, and hoaxes damage the good name of the party. Now I see that Gröhling has blocked me on Facebook. I don't know what led him to do that, but it's terrifying that if you politely write to the party chairman not to divide society, he gets so offended that he blocks you. I have serious concerns about the future of the SaS party. I am afraid that there is not much difference between Matovič and Gröhling in terms of confrontational behavior. And Sulík knew very well what he was doing when he primarily wanted Marián Viskupič, known for his moderate and consensual way of communicating, as his successor. Viskupič, however, refused for personal family reasons.
Will political parties stop spreading hoaxes and hatred against their opponents? From the point of view of political marketing, it is disadvantageous.
Unfortunately, I don't have high hopes that political parties will stop spreading hoaxes and hatred towards their opponents, because they would lose voters.The Smer party won the 2023 elections by inciting people and stirring up passions at its anti-vax rallies. Stirring up voters' passions due to the introduction of unpopular anti-pandemic measures was extremely cynical on the part of Smer, but extremely effective from the point of view of political marketing. Smer voters were deceived because there was not a single country in the world that had not adopted some restrictive anti-pandemic measures. If the Smer party had come to power during Covid, it would certainly have had to adopt the unpopular anti-pandemic measures itself, which it had criticised at rallies before the elections.
The Smer party won the 2023 elections based on hateful hoaxes against the government. However, after the 2023 elections, the PS party is doing exactly the same. It also spreads hoaxes against the current government, which lead to hatred and frustration.
Igor Matovič won the 2020 elections based on conflicts and hate.
The PS party has proven successful in political marketing, snatching the initiative and rhetoric from Igor Matovič and adopting his style. The PS party is currently riding on Matovič's rhetoric of "because Fico" or "Fico is to blame for everything bad." The PS party has also adopted Matovič's style of conflict and division, albeit with a slightly altered communication method, but the essence remains the same. The PS party has primarily spread a large number of hoaxes against the government and is working to stir up passions at demonstrations. So far, this strategy is working for the PS party, and its preferences have slightly increased since the elections.
Misuse of the assassination of Robert Fico to spread Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine. Misuse of the assassination to spread anti-Ukrainian propaganda.
Minister Juraj Blanár shocked with his cynicism when, at a press conference, he misused the situation of the assassination attempt on Robert Fico to spread Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine. He claimed that the assassination attempt on Fico was committed because he wanted "peace." A specific type of false "peace" according to Russian propaganda.Ľuboš Blaha expressed a similar opinion.
The fact is that the information that the assassin also acted on the basis of disinformation from some media, that Fico stopped military aid to Ukraine, is apparently true. The Minister of the Interior informed that one of the assassin's multiple motives was this reason.
In the Czech Republic, most people probably believe this hoax about stopping aid to Ukraine, because the quality of Czech media in informing about events in Slovakia is catastrophic, but I have already deviated from the topic.
The argument that Fico was for peace is gross cynicism and does not make sense even from the perspective of Russian propaganda, because Slovakia is one of the biggest supporters of Ukraine, including weapons and ammunition. According to Russian propaganda, only a state that refuses to help Ukraine is for peace.
And now what is the truth about Fico ? What is his stance on the war in Ukraine? In the pre-election campaign, he had a strong anti-Ukrainian stance. His statement "not a single bullet to Ukraine" is well-known, in which he promised to completely stop military aid to Ukraine. Robert Kaliňák did not spread Russian propaganda about the war even during the pre-election campaign. When Fico's government was formed, Kaliňák became the Minister of Defense. Fico's closest associate, Kaliňák, probably curbed Fico's pro-Russian stances and pro-Russian statements. Fico always militarily supported Ukraine, he did not veto aid in the EU, although his media statements were anti-Ukrainian. In recent months, Fico has radically changed and softened his rhetoric and communication style against Ukraine. The anti-Ukrainian stance has practically completely disappeared. Fico was the only head of state in the world to organize intensive government-to-government negotiations between Slovakia and Ukraine at the level of all ministers. Even the Czech government did not succeed in this. Slovak-Ukrainian relations can be perceived as equally good as Czech-Ukrainian relations. Of course, despite this, some Czech media write about Fico as a pro-Russian dictator.
It is questionable whether the assassination will change Fico's stance on Ukraine, as some of his party colleagues have misused the assassination to spread anti-Ukrainian propaganda. It is also questionable whether this will change Slovak-Ukrainian relations for the worse. Let's hope not, although Russia will do everything through hybrid warfare to make it happen.
The Assassination from a Philosophical Perspective
Of course, some people may mock this topic and not believe it, but things like black magic really work. I also had incredible experiences with black magic when professional black magicians attacked my YouTube channel and, under inexplicable circumstances, deleted my channel. Several people decided whether my YouTube channel would be deleted or not; I wrote to everyone, but they behaved very irrationally and did not act as if they had free will. It is possible to control a person against their will through black magic. An experienced black magician, who instills fear in Central Europe, spoke about his practice. I won't say his name so as not to advertise him. He claims that in Slovakia or the Czech Republic, you won't find real black magicians who perform magic truly effectively; you supposedly need to look abroad.From an energy perspective, for an assassination to be carried out, an energetic environment must be created, and this does not happen by chance. Every person influenced by media propaganda becomes a small black magician who sends negative energy to a politician, which can then materialize.
Furthermore, there are professional black magicians who can focus on creating an accident. The victim attracts accidents like a magnet, which can even lead to a tragedy such as an assassination.
The accident of Boris Kollár also remains very strange and mysterious, and it also lacks rationality. It also looks like the result of black magic.
Black magic can also result in major failures and chaos in the Prime Minister's security detail during an assassination attempt.
Many fanatical Christians also become very powerful black magicians, who have fallen for the media propaganda that Fico is Satan. Christianity leads people to ignorance. Many Christians may not realize that by praying for the Prime Minister, they are performing black magic on him. Even Christian prayer is a form of meditation. If a Christian prays for Fico with anger and frustration, they are sending him highly concentrated negative energy.
So as not to be only negative, there are also positive shamanic rituals that can influence many things in a positive way and help many people. I myself have witnessed such great successes that probably few would believe me. For example, influencing political events in a good direction,
The biggest failures of security guards
The bodyguards were probably under the influence of black magic and did not behave rationally. It must also be said with humility that everyone is a general after the war. The biggest mistake of the security guard was that he noticed the assassin's drawn weapon too late after the first shot, although he should have seen it before the shot. The mistake was the chaotic kicking of the barriers or the use of a martial arts hold instead of grabbing the attacker's weapon or the hand in which he held the weapon. Furthermore, it would have been much simpler and safer to lift the assassin's hand up, instead they pulled it down, which was more complicated and dangerous.During the use of the hold and while digging the barricades, the assassin managed to fire 4 more times. In case of lifting the hand, all the other 4 shots would go into the air.
Furthermore, they were supposed to go to Bojnice Hospital, not Handlová. Handlová Hospital focuses mainly on geriatrics and the long-term sick. Just check the website.
Some experts argued that they should have shot the assassin, which in this particular case would not have been reasonable, because the assassin would have had even more room to shoot. The reaction time for the security guards to draw their weapons is perhaps one and a half seconds, by which time it may already be too late.
Another analyst is of the opinion that the biggest mistake was not made by the security guard but by Robert Fico himself, who did not accept the security guard's instructions. This also seems to be a meaningful opinion.
The chairman of SaS is the second Matovič. He has a boorish and hateful way of communicating. He refuses to apologize for his hateful statements in the TA3 program.
There is not much difference between Igor Matovič and Branislav Gröhling in terms of communication style. While Richard Sulík was able to apologize for his mistakes, Branislav Gröhling was not.

Will political parties stop spreading hoaxes and hatred against their opponents? From the point of view of political marketing, it is disadvantageous.
Unfortunately, I don't have high hopes that political parties will stop spreading hoaxes and hatred towards their opponents, because they would lose voters.The Smer party won the 2023 elections by inciting people and stirring up passions at its anti-vax rallies. Stirring up voters' passions due to the introduction of unpopular anti-pandemic measures was extremely cynical on the part of Smer, but extremely effective from the point of view of political marketing. Smer voters were deceived because there was not a single country in the world that had not adopted some restrictive anti-pandemic measures. If the Smer party had come to power during Covid, it would certainly have had to adopt the unpopular anti-pandemic measures itself, which it had criticised at rallies before the elections.
The Smer party won the 2023 elections based on hateful hoaxes against the government. However, after the 2023 elections, the PS party is doing exactly the same. It also spreads hoaxes against the current government, which lead to hatred and frustration.
Igor Matovič won the 2020 elections based on conflicts and hate.
The PS party has proven successful in political marketing, snatching the initiative and rhetoric from Igor Matovič and adopting his style. The PS party is currently riding on Matovič's rhetoric of "because Fico" or "Fico is to blame for everything bad." The PS party has also adopted Matovič's style of conflict and division, albeit with a slightly altered communication method, but the essence remains the same. The PS party has primarily spread a large number of hoaxes against the government and is working to stir up passions at demonstrations. So far, this strategy is working for the PS party, and its preferences have slightly increased since the elections.
Misuse of the assassination of Robert Fico to spread Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine. Misuse of the assassination to spread anti-Ukrainian propaganda.
Minister Juraj Blanár shocked with his cynicism when, at a press conference, he misused the situation of the assassination attempt on Robert Fico to spread Russian propaganda about the war in Ukraine. He claimed that the assassination attempt on Fico was committed because he wanted "peace." A specific type of false "peace" according to Russian propaganda.Ľuboš Blaha expressed a similar opinion.
The fact is that the information that the assassin also acted on the basis of disinformation from some media, that Fico stopped military aid to Ukraine, is apparently true. The Minister of the Interior informed that one of the assassin's multiple motives was this reason.
In the Czech Republic, most people probably believe this hoax about stopping aid to Ukraine, because the quality of Czech media in informing about events in Slovakia is catastrophic, but I have already deviated from the topic.
The argument that Fico was for peace is gross cynicism and does not make sense even from the perspective of Russian propaganda, because Slovakia is one of the biggest supporters of Ukraine, including weapons and ammunition. According to Russian propaganda, only a state that refuses to help Ukraine is for peace.
And now what is the truth about Fico ? What is his stance on the war in Ukraine? In the pre-election campaign, he had a strong anti-Ukrainian stance. His statement "not a single bullet to Ukraine" is well-known, in which he promised to completely stop military aid to Ukraine. Robert Kaliňák did not spread Russian propaganda about the war even during the pre-election campaign. When Fico's government was formed, Kaliňák became the Minister of Defense. Fico's closest associate, Kaliňák, probably curbed Fico's pro-Russian stances and pro-Russian statements. Fico always militarily supported Ukraine, he did not veto aid in the EU, although his media statements were anti-Ukrainian. In recent months, Fico has radically changed and softened his rhetoric and communication style against Ukraine. The anti-Ukrainian stance has practically completely disappeared. Fico was the only head of state in the world to organize intensive government-to-government negotiations between Slovakia and Ukraine at the level of all ministers. Even the Czech government did not succeed in this. Slovak-Ukrainian relations can be perceived as equally good as Czech-Ukrainian relations. Of course, despite this, some Czech media write about Fico as a pro-Russian dictator.
It is questionable whether the assassination will change Fico's stance on Ukraine, as some of his party colleagues have misused the assassination to spread anti-Ukrainian propaganda. It is also questionable whether this will change Slovak-Ukrainian relations for the worse. Let's hope not, although Russia will do everything through hybrid warfare to make it happen.
There is a big difference in the self-reflection of how political opponents reacted to the assassination of Fico and Trump. While in the USA there was self-reflection, in Slovakia there was not.
