While during COVID and for a while after, people succumbed to total collective madness and mass psychosis, today the mood in society is better. During COVID, people believed the craziest conspiracies and hoaxes, such as that Bill Gates wanted to chip us, or that people who were vaccinated had thickened blood.<br> Back in 2020, I said that Igor Matovi\u010d&#39;s government would not be successful or blessed because he brought too many religious fanatics into politics. This prediction later came true.<br> Slovakia has become the country that has handled COVID the worst in the entire EU. Thanks to the OLANO government, we had the lowest number of vaccinated people in the EU, and people were falling for the most insane conspiracy theories.<br> The improvement of energies in the collective consciousness was also manifested in the fact that the fanatical defense of Russian aggression in Ukraine was significantly abandoned in society.<br> I also believe that the current government will have a very successful year in 2024, but this government should not attribute the success to itself but to the increase in vibrations in the collective consciousness.<br><br><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Curillovci_are_dividing_and_polarizing_society\"><\/span> <strong>The \u010curillovci are dividing and polarizing society<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> This polarization is mainly created by the media. The issue is not black and white, but the media reports in black and white. Public opinion is heavily manipulated. Most people fanatically join either one side or the other of the conflict and let themselves be drawn into this game. Both sides have a lot to answer for.<br> A significant portion of people are unable to listen to the views of both sides, which leads to a distorted perception and cognitive dissonance.<br> The mood in a part of society reminds me of how people become fanatical fans of two sports clubs. One football club is the \u010curilovci and the other is the Smer\u00e1ci. Both clubs are ultras and are at odds for life and death and cannot find common ground.<br> Some media outlets hold the view that the \u010curillovci are our perfect boys, whom we will protect with our own bodies, and we will not admit that they could make a mistake. My opinion is that half of the journalists who passionately defend the \u010curillovci do not even believe the propaganda they are spreading. It&#39;s just that they probably have no other choice. Once they started on one line, it&#39;s too late to change it. But propaganda is an inflated bubble that will burst one day, and that will backfire on them very cruelly and turn against them, because lies have short legs.<br> On the one hand, Smer&#39;s members are scoundrels and we should not forget their missteps, on the other hand, Smer&#39;s members also deserve a fair trial by the O\u010cTK. The passionate fan crowds somehow forget that the rules should apply to everyone equally. The media should correctly be in the role of an independent referee, similar to sports, but they do the opposite. The mood in a part of society is such that when our boys foul and cheat, our football club still cheers for it as a fair match, and if no one points out this foul, they hate them.<br> The media and politicians are extremely untrustworthy, but I checked the information with apolitical experts, and they confirmed that the \u010curillovci very often used the practice of putting someone in pre-trial detention without any evidence, and for more than 6 months, with the hope that evidence of the crime would somehow be found later, or the accused would confess. It must be realized that pre-trial detention is extremely strict, and the strict regime of this type of detention is practically the same as so-called solitary confinement. For me, as a person who masters meditation techniques, it would not be boring, because I would use the time for meditation techniques that are very time-consuming, and I would be in some euphoric states, but an ordinary person can be on the verge of a mental breakdown and perceive this type of detention as a torture tool. If a prosecutor promises you that if you make something up about someone, he will release you, then in a fit of despair you are capable of doing anything.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I will also venture to predict the future for the next few years. Due to the change of government, many things will start to surface, and the narrative that the \u010curilla team were flawless boys will not be sustainable for the media. This could also seriously jeopardize the reputation of the media that supported the narrative of flawless boys. It is also highly likely that some of the penitents will switch sides, which will also seriously undermine the authority of the dishonest media that overdid it with propaganda.<br><br> It is not for nothing that the Special Prosecutor&#39;s Office is massively <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ta3.com\/clanok\/912320\/bodor-ci-mako-sa-dostali-k-svojim-majetkom-prokuratori-a-sudy-vo-velkom-rusia-rozhodnutia-o-ich-zaisteni\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">canceling the forfeiture of property for penitents<\/a> . This is a desperate attempt to prevent penitents from switching sides.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To think that \u0160tefan Hamran did his job out of conviction and not for selfish reasons is a rather naive opinion, because the retirement pension of police presidents is more than 3000 euros. Every police president feels strongly indebted to his minister. In one broadcast, Hamran even let it slip that he always improvises when he appears in the media, implying that he does not always say what he thinks and that his media appearances are also for selfish reasons.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To think that politically engaged police officers did their job selflessly is also a naive view, because they received a fabulous salary, and a very high retirement pension is also derived from the salary. Information has also leaked that politically engaged police officers received special allowances if they managed to get someone into pre-trial detention.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In defense of the \u010curillovci, I would say that perhaps these boys became too wild during the COVID period, which was the wildest period in recent decades. During this period, there were very bad energies in the collective consciousness, and a significant portion of people behaved like fools, as I wrote in the introduction to the article.<br><br><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Some_top_government_politicians_refuse_to_communicate_with_some_of_the_media_Is_that_okay\"><\/span> <strong>Some<\/strong> <strong>top government politicians refuse to communicate with some of the media. Is that okay?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> My opinion is that every politician has the right to choose which media they want to communicate with. Just as it is okay that former Minister M\u00e1ria Kol\u00edkov\u00e1 refused to allow alternative media to attend press conferences. From the politicians&#39; side, this is not a violation of the law. The media that most hate government politicians are somewhat contradicting themselves, because it should be a reward for them that they are not allowed to attend press conferences. On the other hand, the hysterical whining of some media is understandable from a psychological point of view, because they feel pushed aside and punished.<br> The fact remains, however, that some journalists only want to provoke at press conferences.<br> On the one hand, journalists have the right to express certain sympathies or antipathies towards selected politicians, but on the other hand, some media outlets sometimes overdo it with propaganda.<br> Some media and journalists behave like politicians, and that is unacceptable.<br> In previous articles and videos, I have described in detail my very bad negative experiences with the media and journalists. In general, I consider journalists to be far greater scoundrels than politicians. Politics works far more transparently than the media. There are far more control mechanisms in politics than in the media, yet politicians and the media have approximately the same power. While a politician is responsible for everything, a journalist is not responsible for anything.<br> While politicians are controlled by the media, there is no one to control the media. Ideally, the individual media would control each other, but in practice, it does not work that way.<br> When a journalist learns about a case involving their favorite politician, they will remain silent, but if they learn something about a politician they hate, they will make a lot of noise about it. I myself had a disastrous experience with the media when I sent journalists about 100 pages of materials on corruption at the Ministry of the Environment, but in practice, not a single article was published. A prime example of how propaganda is made and how information is manipulated and used for specific purposes.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mark\u00edza TV deliberately published hoaxes, for example, that mortgage bonuses and the thirteenth pension would not be paid. They are well aware of the current legislation, that at most they face a fine of 10,000 euros from the Council for Broadcasting and Retransmission, which is a drop in the ocean for the largest television station with a turnover in the millions, and that&#39;s where it ends. Or after three court cases, the court will order them to apologize.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And there is no regulation for online diaries, unlike for television, which journalists cynically abuse, not only in the topic of politics but also in hoaxes about nature conservation. The most hoaxes in the media are about nature conservation, and I say this as an activist who has long been fighting against hoaxes in nature conservation.<br><br><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Igor_Matovic_%E2%80%93_he_failed_to_fulfill_practically_any_of_his_pre-election_promises\"><\/span> <strong>Igor Matovi\u010d &#8211; he failed to fulfill practically any of his pre-election promises<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> In this part of the article, we will show evidence that Matovi\u010d is not better than the Smer party in any parameter, although the media are trying to claim the opposite in a manipulative way.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Just as an interesting side note, approximately one-third of the OLANO party&#39;s MPs are Roma. Roma are among the most circled MPs who entered parliament for the OLANO party. Matovi\u010d got into parliament only thanks to the Roma and thanks to very clever cooperation with politically engaged Roma, who mobilized Roma settlements and communities in the pre-election campaign, promised them the world, and it worked. Matovi\u010d is a madman and a genius in one person because he is the only politician who managed to cooperate with the Roma in this way and get them into parliament. And at the same time, the Roma got him into parliament.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Igor Matovi\u010d&#39;s main rhetoric was the fight against corruption. Matovi\u010d&#39;s politically over-motivated political police did not prove to be a very happy solution. Matovi\u010d accused the Smer party of not being able to deal with its corrupt ministers, but Igor Matovi\u010d had the same problem, as did the entire OLANO party, which could not deal with J\u00e1n Budaj, who poured 25 to 30 million euros into the corrupt BROZ 25 group that controlled him. Neither Matovi\u010d nor the OLANO parliamentary club were able to recall Budaj and followed the motto &quot;win the elections, you can do anything&quot;. The arrogance, haughtiness and impudence of the OLANO party and Igor Matovi\u010d. Zero self-reflection. The rules do not apply to our people. While the Smer party managed to recall several ministers who had seriously failed without any pressure from coalition partners, Matovi\u010d failed to do so. I consider Matovi\u010d and the OLANO party to be far greater scoundrels than the Smer party, because Smer never promised voters a fight against corruption, unlike Matovi\u010d.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Matovi\u010d criticized Smer for saying &quot;the act did not happen&quot;, while his own police president Hamran was making exactly the same mistake. I handed over about 70 pages of materials on corruption structures and organized crime in nature protection to Hamran, but I have no information whether there were any results. Only one member of the criminal group was convicted, the head of the Faculty of Natural Sciences, which is an important part of subsidy fraud in nature protection. However, he was convicted of some embezzlement for the reconstruction of the building. It is questionable whether this police action had anything to do with nature protection. If the police had any non-publicized successes under Hamran, then I apologize.<br> I consider it a scandal that Matovi\u010d&#39;s Hamran had a higher priority in the war against SIS based on a false accusation than real corruption in nature protection.<br><br><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_are_organized_groups_in_nature_conservation_the_biggest_security_threat_to_Slovakia\"><\/span> <strong>Why are organized groups in nature conservation the biggest security threat to Slovakia?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> It&#39;s not just about the embezzlement of public money, but also about the fact that almost all environmental NGOs are extremely radicalized. They are dangerous extremists.<br> In the name of public interest, it is important to get these corrupt individuals into jail because they are dangerous. It&#39;s not just about the hundreds of millions stolen. It&#39;s also about the fact that environmentalists in Slovakia are extremely radicalized. It is dangerous if these extremists are generously funded from stolen public resources to finance their extremism and extremist activities. They also apparently bribe journalists such as Andrej Bar\u00e1t, Jana Kubisov\u00e1, Tom\u00e1\u0161 Gre\u010dko, and a similar disinformation clique with stolen EU funds.<br> The state finances extremism.<br> Slovak eco-terrorists are as radical as the Letzte Generation movement, who are madmen who block traffic and glue themselves to the road. However, even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mojevideo.sk\/video\/3c3dc\/ekoteroristi_sa_prilepili_k_ceste.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Letzte Generation<\/a> is not as well funded as our Slovak eco-terrorists.<br> <strong>Organized crime in nature conservation is the only type of crime that the media aggressively supports.

Eco-terrorist parties promised to increase carbon taxes, increase general taxes on entrepreneurs, and higher financial benefits for Muslim migrants.<br> Voters saw Geert Wilders primarily as a counterweight to eco-fascism.<br> The leader of the Dutch eco-fascists is <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Frans_Timmermans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Frans Timmermans<\/a> . He even resigned from the post of Vice-President of the European Commission and returned to Dutch politics. It didn&#39;t help.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By the way, a similar situation is in Germany, where the AfD party is gaining strength.<br> The Progressive Slovakia party should learn from its mistakes. When even in the West ecoterrorism has gone out of fashion, expecting to succeed with ecoterrorism in Slovakia is quite naive. Extremely radicalized ecologists and radicalized feminists may be the main reason for the declining preferences of this party. The solution is to throw all eco-fascists out of the political party. Such an internal reform and self-reflection of the party is probably unlikely.<br><br><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Progressive_Slovakia_News\"><\/span> <strong>Progressive Slovakia News<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> Precisely because I consider myself a liberal, I am very offended that liberalism in Slovakia is represented by the PS party, which is a total mockery.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the one hand, I do not identify with <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/BFvWGJZJwEo?si=QTrplf-1qZkxw0T-&amp;t=931\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this primitive and provocative video<\/a> by Martin Da\u0148o, but on the other hand, he revealed an interesting scene in the video. While Jaroslav Spi\u0161iak is being interviewed by the media, the media advisor of the PS party and marketer Alena Kui\u0161ov\u00e1 is watching the entire interview. I don&#39;t have a good feeling about this scene. The PS party is somehow strange. It&#39;s not that political parties don&#39;t have marketing and media advisors, but here it&#39;s going to extremes. It seems to me as if Spi\u0161iak couldn&#39;t say a word without being controlled by some marketer. As if Spi\u0161iak couldn&#39;t say what he really thinks but had to say what the marketer and media advisor wanted him to say. The fact that the PS party is just some marketing product may not be just hate but really objective criticism. After all, Mat\u00fa\u0161 Vallo also bases his entire politics on marketing.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Taraba <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iSGuLMt4VOg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">criticized<\/a> politicians Marcinkov\u00e1 and Kol\u00edkov\u00e1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u-kvcWZc_nY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in parliament<\/a> .

My opinion is that the PS party has reached its peak and its preferences can only decline.<br><br><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_biggest_media_failure_in_recent_times\"><\/span> <strong>The biggest media failure in recent times<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> They made quite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7KbgWwgYalM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an undignified fool of themselves<\/a> in the Postoj newspaper. After Lip\u0161ic&#39;s press conference, they were supposedly enlightened, and after feigning at least apparent objectivity, they unequivocally sided with the \u010curillovci, and even more radically than Denn\u00edk N or Aktuality. A discussion at the mental level of 10-year-old boys. What do Catholic Christians say about the \u010curillovci, who were involved in black magic? Is it in line with Christianity?<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the one hand, I do not identify with the pro-Russian and anti-vax views of Rudolf Huliak, on the other hand, what the moderator \u0160imon \u017d\u010f\u00e1rsky was doing was absolutely <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2bsQ-_5l1as\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">undignified<\/a> . The moderator&#39;s goal was to destroy the politician, not to sincerely lead a serious and meaningful discussion. Taking some of Huliak&#39;s most extreme statements out of context and thus compromising him is quite stupid. I wouldn&#39;t put my hand in the fire if \u0160imon was paid for such an embarrassing interview with interruptions by corrupt groups in nature protection. By the way, \u0160imon reminded me very much of the moderator Bra\u0148o Z\u00e1vodsk\u00fd, who moderates a show with politicians he doesn&#39;t like in a very boorish way, interrupting them and talking more than the guest. Perhaps that is also the reason why Z\u00e1vodsk\u00fd has a problem getting a coalition politician on the show. He is to blame himself for his boorish way of moderating.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The media launched a hateful disinformation campaign against the new directors of national parks. They claim that they are just incompetent hunters who have nothing to do with nature conservation. The disinformation was published by journalist Kubisov\u00e1 and the hoax was picked up by a significant number of other media outlets. But what is the truth? Both new park directors are graduates of the Faculty of Zoology and Hunting. About 10% of all employees of the State Nature Protection are in the position of zoologists, although they often have a degree in another field. The Technical University in Zvolen also has a very high level and credibility. The truth is that the education of the new park directors is ideal for their position. Budaj&#39;s chief expert on bears, Michal Haring, who was adored in the media as the greatest expert on bears in Slovakia, had studied nature conservation at the University of \u017dilina, which is a school for the biggest slackers.

If Denn\u00edk N wants to be at least a little better than alternative media in terms of objectivity, then editor-in-chief Kostoln\u00fd should fire Gre\u010dko from Denn\u00edk N. I am afraid that will not happen. Usually, hoaxes of this type go unnoticed, but in this case, Taraba managed to teach a strong lesson to the hoaxer Gre\u010dko.<br><br><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Robert_Fico_got_what_he_deserved\"><\/span> <strong>Robert Fico got what he deserved.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> Robert Fico&#39;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/HC7eQapg524?feature=shared\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">karma has returned<\/a> . While the government was in power from 2020 to 2023, Robert Fico&#39;s entire campaign was based on inciting people to dissatisfaction and anger against hygiene measures against COVID, urging people not to comply with hygiene measures, discouraging people from vaccination, and organizing various anti-vax demonstrations. Fico behaved in a destructive way that was far beyond the boundaries of serious political struggle. As the only opposition politician in the world, he ran a cynical campaign on unpopular measures against COVID. The health of citizens became hostages.<br> Robert Fico from the current opposition faces similarly illegitimate practices, whether in the form of reporting to Brussels or in the form of obstructions in the Slovak Parliament.<br><br><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PS_party_politicians_in_the_captivity_and_slavery_of_their_marketer_Alena_Kuisova\"><\/span> <strong>PS party politicians in the captivity and slavery of their marketer Alena Kui\u0161ov\u00e1<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> There is no more bizarre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mojevideo.sk\/video\/3e2f6\/tupy_simecka_a_novinari.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">political party than PS<\/a> . Although this video was created in the alternative media environment, in this case the criticism is justified. The whole party practically works only on PR marketing. Similarly, for Mat\u00fa\u0161 Vallo, the highest priority is marketing, and that is his entire policy. It can be considered bizarre that PS party employee Alena Kui\u0161ov\u00e1 disguised herself as a journalist with a microphone, although in reality she is not a journalist. And she whispered to \u0160ime\u010dka what to say. It is not right if any politician is in total slavery and subordination to any PR marketers. It is normal for political parties to have their marketing advisors with whom they consult from time to time, but in this case it is a sick extreme. Mr. \u0160ime\u010dka is not allowed to even breathe without his marketer.<br><br><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Comedies_of_the_Current_Opposition_from_the_Perspective_of_Political_Marketing\"><\/span> <strong>The Comedies of the Current Opposition from the Perspective of Political Marketing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> Organizing anti-government demonstrations and crazy theater and obstructions in parliament. From a marketing perspective, I see anti-government demonstrations as successful pre-election rallies. The election period is still far away, but maintaining and possibly increasing preferences through such rallies is not a bad idea. Moreover, with the strong support of the media, which openly advertises these rallies. In such a case, however, one cannot speak of the apolitical nature of the selected media.<br> On the other hand, the importance of this demonstration should not be overestimated because the majority of the population may not identify with them. The diverse media market with different ideological directions prevents sympathy with the demonstrators from growing too strongly in terms of the percentage of citizens&#39; support.<br> With comedies in parliament, opposition politicians are supposed to attract attention and thus maintain or increase their preferences, because otherwise we would feel that the opposition does not even exist.<br> On the other hand, it doesn&#39;t have to increase preferences indefinitely. If the opposition overdoes it with hate and circus, it may discourage voters.<br><br><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Corruption_in_the_city_of_Bratislava_under_the_leadership_of_Matus_Vallo_The_city_is_rife_with_corruption\"><\/span> <strong>Corruption in the city of Bratislava under the leadership of Mat\u00fa\u0161 Vallo. The city is rife with corruption.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> If a politician or mayor becomes a media darling, it is practically impossible for criticism to reach the public. This applies to J\u00e1n Budaj or Mat\u00fa\u0161 Vallo.<br> A certain employee of the city of Bratislava showed me one suspicious corruption contract after another, various contracts between city officials and companies whose owners have been long-time friends with the officials.<br> The employee in question had a great need to share with me information that almost no one knows about and claims that Mat\u00fa\u0161 Vallo, or rather the PS party, also has its people in the police.<br>He also claimed that even with criminal complaints, it is complicated, as employee witnesses would logically face dismissal, and there would also be a risk that the last honest people who still work there and at least partially curb the biggest thefts would be fired from the city.<br> The employee in question deals with only a certain area and department, I can&#39;t imagine what corruption schemes are in the whole city as a whole &#8211; it will probably be hundreds of millions stolen.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The PS and Smer parties have nothing to reproach each other for in terms of corruption.<br> PS party member Wiezik is even the only politician in the history of Slovakia who proactively fights for corruption in nature protection and defends it.

Are they admirable and talented investigators or is it otherwise?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> The \u010curilla team are not admirable or talented police officers, because instead of honest work and honest investigation, they relied only on cooperating accused persons. And for the last 9 months before the elections, they didn&#39;t even investigate anything and just worked to save their own asses. The proof is that shortly after the dismissal of former minister \u0160imko, the &quot;Rozuzlenie&quot; operation against the secret services began. So they were doing something completely different from what Matovi\u010d promised before the elections &#8211; they were no longer dealing with the investigation of real corruption cases. The fight against Smer&#39;s corruption turned into a fight against all state institutions that stood in their way with the aim of covering their own tracks.<br> The \u010curillovci investigated very few corruption cases that Igor Matovi\u010d and investigative journalists had pointed out before 2020.<br> The \u010curillovci can be considered fools and dishonest, not talented and skillful.<br><br><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_mysterious_deletion_of_the_Dennik_N_podcast_an_interview_with_Martin_Ribar\"><\/span> <strong>The mysterious deletion of the Denn\u00edk N podcast: an interview with Martin Rib\u00e1r<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> The \u010curillovci were also criticized in Denn\u00edk N before 2020, during the Smer government. This was a podcast interview with lawyer Martin Rib\u00e1r. As you can see, this interview from Denn\u00edk N&#39;s YouTube channel has already been deleted. The role of Denn\u00edk N is to do political propaganda, not serious journalism. Later, Denn\u00edk N turned 180 degrees.<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The fact that attorney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UU_86guLgQE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roman Kvasnica<\/a> is also the attorney for one of the \u010curilla team and at the same time the owner of the weekly T\u00fd\u017ede\u0148 does not add to the objectivity of the media. This is a clear conflict of interest.<br><br><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Additionally_added_content\"><\/span> <strong>Additionally added content<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Actress_Kristina_Tormova_admitted_that_she_participates_in_the_protests_only_for_money_and_considers_the_protest_as_her_job_or_employment_Thus_the_protests_are_not_voluntary_but_professional\"><\/span> <strong>Actress Krist\u00edna Tormov\u00e1 admitted that she participates in the protests only for money and considers the protest as her job or employment. Thus, the protests are not voluntary but professional.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> I am a neutral and independent person with perspective, and I am neither for nor against opposition rallies and anti-government protests. Every person who fanatically joins one side or the other has become a victim of manipulation.<br> In any case, I was immediately struck by the beginning of the interview with the actress Tormov\u00e1 on Denn\u00edk N, which must have unpleasantly surprised the moderator herself, because Tormov\u00e1&#39;s sincerity negated the propaganda. When asked why she went to protest, she answered shockingly that she didn&#39;t even know and someone approached her, making it clear that she was not doing it out of conviction and from which it is clear from the context that the actress is doing it for money. The actress also did not forget to mention that she sees financial support for the protests as an important thing, thus also indirectly indicating that she does not do her work at the protests for free either.<br> This calls into question the spontaneity and authenticity of the protests.<br> <strong>Another very important problem with the opposition rallies is that approximately half of the media outlets broadcast the protests live on their YouTube channels. It is extremely outrageous, it is contrary to journalistic ethics, when part of the media does not even try to play at some apolitical objectivity or impartiality.

Journalists and politicians are extremely untrustworthy people. There is no difference between a journalist and a politician, and I have had very bad experiences with journalists. The only trustworthy source of information is independent and apolitical experts like Dr. \u0160amko. The moderator, Kova\u010di\u010d, was completely shocked and captivated by \u0160amko&#39;s expert arguments, and therefore encouraged him to be heard more in the media (perhaps Kova\u010di\u010d will get a scolding from his superiors for this). In other interviews with \u0160amko, you can learn, for example, how he complains about the media propaganda and disinformation that the media spreads on the topic of the law and the work of the Office of the Prosecutor General. By the way, it&#39;s interesting that, as far as I know, this show was broadcast at 3 PM, when most people are at work and viewership is minimal. In contrast, the show with Lip\u0161ic was on a day and at a time when viewership is highest. An interesting way to produce propaganda. Most journalists don&#39;t do propaganda out of conviction but just for money \u2013 they see propaganda as their profession \u2013 including Kova\u010di\u010d \u2013 and only because the show was broadcast at a time with the lowest viewership could he afford to be more honest and indirectly agree with \u0160amko.
