Indebtedness<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<p>We live in a very <strong>difficult time<\/strong> when people and the population have never been as <strong>stupid<\/strong> as they are today. People have never been manipulated as easily as they can be manipulated today. And that&#39;s by the media, whether<br \/> <strong>alternative or mainstream<\/strong> .<br \/> Human stupidity knows no bounds, and human stupidity is endless. The media, in fact, is increasingly making <strong>primitive and stupid propaganda<\/strong> . And yet, many people still <strong>do not understand that the media is lying to them<\/strong> .<br \/> As <strong>a lecturer in critical thinking<\/strong> and a person who sees into the <strong>behind-the-scenes media and political games<\/strong> that the average, ordinary person has never even dreamed of, I will now analyze the latest outputs, this time mainly from the mainstream media.<br \/> What the media can generally create are <strong>so-called egregors<\/strong> . These egregors can very effectively and efficiently control and <strong>manipulate people<\/strong> . Also, the media, whether alternative or mainstream, can strongly <strong>ignite and whip up your passions<\/strong> . And this is often based on <strong>half-truths or propaganda<\/strong> .<br \/> <strong>The truth is very hard to hear<\/strong> .<br \/> I am a person who is very critical of <strong>both alternative and mainstream media<\/strong> . Logically, you then <strong>anger<\/strong> the fans of alternative media, but also people who are on the side of mainstream media.<br \/> <strong>The truth is unpopular<\/strong> and hard to hear. Perhaps what is least popular is the truth.<br \/> It is, of course, <strong>a false illusion<\/strong> that if a person is on the side of alternative or mainstream media, that this is the <strong>good or true direction<\/strong> . The truth is neither &#8211; <strong>both are the Matrix<\/strong> . Both are evil, both <strong>divide society<\/strong> and <strong>pit people against each other<\/strong> .<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manipulation_methods_and_cases\"><\/span> <u><strong>Manipulation methods and cases<\/strong><\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> The basic method of media manipulation is <strong>to get too involved in political struggles<\/strong> . While they try <strong>to harm politicians from one ideological camp as much as possible and do propaganda against them<\/strong> , they have no problem <strong>censoring all the corrupt affairs of<\/strong> other politicians, as I have also had the opportunity to see. For example, <strong>Igor Matovi\u010d<\/strong> would certainly not even get into parliament if all his corrupt affairs were made public. As an absolutely <strong>apolitical activist,<\/strong> I have had the opportunity to find out from my own experience that the media had no problem <strong>censoring<\/strong> the absolutely insane corruption of Matovi\u010d&#39;s ministers, which did not even happen under the Smer party, <strong>without batting an eyelid<\/strong> .<br \/> A prime example of media manipulation was <strong>the so-called Matovi\u010d&#39;s purge<\/strong> , or the so-called police officers, <strong>the \u010curillovci<\/strong> . The media actually spread what was probably <strong>the most successful hoax<\/strong> in the history of Slovakia, that in the PPA (Agricultural Payment Agency) case, nothing is being done, only stealing. In the end, the \u010curillovci investigated it and <strong>found nothing<\/strong> <strong>.<\/strong> The biggest fish that the <strong>\u010curillovci<\/strong> arrested and imprisoned was <strong>Norbert B\u00f6d\u00f6r<\/strong> , who had never even done business in the agricultural sector. So, when the media created such <strong>a narrative<\/strong> that there was stealing, we all expected that the \u010curillovci police would somehow collectively arrest those <strong>big agro-barons<\/strong> and agricultural <strong>oligarchs<\/strong> . And lo and behold, <strong>nothing happened<\/strong> ! They only arrested some Norbert B\u00f6d\u00f6r. All charges against him were dropped, and the whole case actually <strong>came to nothing (went to waste)<\/strong> . Despite this, the media had previously spread very <strong>passionate propaganda<\/strong> that divided society but <strong>was not based on truth<\/strong> .<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Car_accident_and_the_double_standard_of_the_media\"><\/span> <u><strong>Car accident and the double standard of the media<\/strong><\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> The case of Pavol Ga\u0161par&#39;s car accident served only to <strong>distract<\/strong> the media \u2013 to distract attention from <strong>the incompetence of the current opposition<\/strong> .<br \/> One example of media manipulation in recent times was <strong>Pavol Ga\u0161par&#39;s car accident<\/strong> . It is <strong>remarkable<\/strong> how much attention the media paid to such an insignificant event. The media also drew conclusions before <strong>the results of the car accident investigation<\/strong> were known. It is truly unbelievable that the media can literally <strong>make something out of nothing<\/strong> , turning some insignificant event into <strong>de facto the biggest case in the world<\/strong> . Yet, it would have been enough to write just <strong>a one-time article<\/strong> about the car accident. The media had nothing left to find against the Smer party, so they had to <strong>fuel some narrative<\/strong> . They fueled this affair <strong>for weeks<\/strong> .<br \/> In contrast, we see <strong>a double standard<\/strong> in the media regarding the car accident <strong>of the MEP for Progressive Slovakia, Martin Hojs\u00edk<\/strong> . There, I see a really <strong>serious moral transgression<\/strong> on all possible levels, but the media paid practically <strong>no attention<\/strong> to it. Only some selected media, which are really <strong>a minority<\/strong> and which are at least somewhat objective, mentioned it very briefly.<br \/> Martin Hojs\u00edk&#39;s first moral transgression is that despite <strong>presenting himself as the toughest eco-fascist, the biggest eco-fanatic, the savior of the planet<\/strong> , and a person who <strong>voted in the European Parliament to ban combustion cars<\/strong> , he still <strong>uses a combustion car<\/strong> . Yet, with his MEP salary, he should have enough money to buy an electric car. We witnessed <strong>a complete absence of media criticism<\/strong> of this <strong>hypocrite who preaches water and drinks wine<\/strong> . To make matters worse, the car didn&#39;t even <strong>have an emissions test<\/strong> . So, the self-proclaimed climate savior, <strong>Martin Hojs\u00edk<\/strong> , did not have a valid emissions test on his combustion car. However, journalists <strong>did not chase Martin Hojs\u00edk with microphones<\/strong> , nor <strong>did they question him about his hypocrisy<\/strong> .<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diploma_Theses\"><\/span> <u><strong>Diploma Theses<\/strong><\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> Furthermore, the media analyzed <strong>Pavol Ga\u0161par&#39;s thesis<\/strong> . I cannot judge whether that person&#39;s thesis is in order, because it has happened many times that the media spread <strong>hoaxes<\/strong> . Such information would need to be <strong>independently verified<\/strong> . But even if we were to take into account that his thesis is not in order, it would be appropriate if the media applied <strong>the same standard to the Progressive Slovakia party<\/strong> . I am personally convinced that if they were <strong>to scrutinize the theses<\/strong> of individual politicians from the Progressive Slovakia party, <strong>two-thirds or three-quarters<\/strong> of those MPs would not have their theses in order. Not to mention that theses in <strong>law<\/strong> or theses at <strong>the Faculty of Law<\/strong> are very difficult to write. They are some of <strong>the most difficult<\/strong> theses, so probably few lawyers have their theses in order.<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consolidation\"><\/span> <u><strong>Consolidation<\/strong><\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> The current government is taking very <strong>unpopular measures<\/strong> , which is <strong>the consolidation of public finances<\/strong> . On the one hand, people <strong>are grumbling<\/strong> , but on the other hand, they naively believe that <strong>the current opposition<\/strong> would be able to do it better. The truth is that they would <strong>not be able<\/strong> to do it better.<br \/> It&#39;s bad, but it could still be <strong>worse<\/strong> .<br \/> The opposition is now in a very <strong>simple position<\/strong> , because <strong>criticizing from the opposition is very easy<\/strong> and it has a very nice effect on voters. However, if these <strong>showmen really came to power<\/strong> , there is not the slightest assumption that they would be able to do it better.<br \/> The only <strong>positive thing<\/strong> about the Progressive Slovakia party coming to power is that <strong>the interest on government bonds would be lower<\/strong> . This means that banks would be willing to buy bonds at lower interest rates. But this is purely for unfair <strong>political reasons<\/strong> , because banks have <strong>more power than the state<\/strong> when it comes to money and can even <strong>blackmail<\/strong> it. If we assume that top bank managers only read <strong>Denn\u00edk N<\/strong> , they logically have a reason to blackmail the government and force it into unpopular, austerity and consolidation measures.<br \/> Few people know what the banking sector looks like. Banks have <strong>a special power<\/strong> in the law that they can <strong>print an unlimited amount of money<\/strong> . At the same time, they can <strong>buy government bonds<\/strong> from these printed money and then make <strong>a profit from the interest<\/strong> . So for banks, it is <strong>a perpetuum mobile<\/strong> for money. If the Progressive Slovakia party came to power, this government would not need to save much because the interest on bonds would be low.<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bribing_journalists\"><\/span> <u><strong>Bribing journalists<\/strong><\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> <strong>How can politicians bribe journalists?<\/strong> One way a politician can give <strong>a bribe to a journalist<\/strong> is through <strong>very strong support for the non-governmental sector<\/strong> . Through the non-governmental sector, money can easily reach the media. Bribes for journalists can be <strong>camouflaged<\/strong> under the guise <strong>of supporting<\/strong> <strong>investigative journalism<\/strong> or under the guise <strong>of supporting democracy<\/strong> . In reality, however, the money will go to the political struggle between political parties.<br \/> Based on this, politicians can <strong>bribe journalists<\/strong> . It is <strong>highly probable<\/strong> that there are already some <strong>agreements<\/strong> between the <strong>Progressive Slovakia<\/strong> party and journalists, editors-in-chief, and media owners. The agreement is that if Progressive Slovakia comes to power, <strong>subsidies for the non-governmental sector will become very strong<\/strong> , and the sector will gladly pass them on to journalists. In this way, the Progressive Slovakia party will have <strong>absolute protection and certainty<\/strong> that <strong>no<\/strong> <strong>corruption<\/strong> <strong>scandal will be published in the media<\/strong> . As a result, voters will feel that this political party is not so bad. After all, <strong>they haven&#39;t had that many corruption scandals<\/strong> . Subsidies for the non-governmental sector can be provided by the state or a ministry either through <strong>EU funds<\/strong> or directly through <strong>the state budget<\/strong> . The media has <strong>more power than the police and the courts<\/strong> . If the media does not uncover a corruption scandal, the police will not deal with it either.<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PS_Extremism\"><\/span> <u><strong>PS Extremism<\/strong><\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> The <strong>Progressive Slovakia party is in an absolutely desperate state<\/strong> . It is no <strong>alternative to the current government<\/strong> . This political party has been taken over by <strong>the most extremist feminists<\/strong> and <strong>the most extremist environmentalists<\/strong> . All moderate environmentalists and feminists have been <strong>thrown out<\/strong> of the party, and all <strong>decent people are leaving the party<\/strong> . Even a decent person will say: &quot;Why should I work in this political party when I can&#39;t achieve anything good in it, when the only thing that interests this party is <strong>extremism in feminism<\/strong> , <strong>extremism in ecology<\/strong> <strong>, and<\/strong> <strong>extremism of hatred against Robert Fico?&quot;<\/strong> That&#39;s absolutely all. It is <strong>a depleted, empty party<\/strong> that <strong>has absolutely nothing to offer<\/strong> , has no experts, no vision, but <strong>human stupidity knows no bounds<\/strong> , and people will continue to vote for it.<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Election_manipulation\"><\/span> <u><strong>Election manipulation<\/strong><\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> Manipulation of the <strong>2023<\/strong> <strong>parliamentary elections<\/strong> in favor of the Progressive Slovakia party. It is very <strong>likely<\/strong> that the 2023 elections were <strong>rigged<\/strong> because people abroad voted for Progressive Slovakia in an incredible 61 <strong>% of the votes<\/strong> . This is simply unbelievable.<br \/> While <strong>domestic elections<\/strong> or elections at the city and municipal level are <strong>practically impossible to rig<\/strong> , elections from abroad can be <strong>rigged very easily<\/strong> . This concerns votes cast at Slovak <strong>embassies<\/strong> in foreign countries. These ballots have to travel <strong>many kilometers to Slovakia<\/strong> . During the transport of these ballots, it is very <strong>easy to manipulate<\/strong> them, or they can be manipulated <strong>directly at the embassy<\/strong> , and it is not complicated at all.<br \/> It is <strong>particularly suspicious<\/strong> that in Bratislava itself, Progressive Slovakia had <strong>the most votes<\/strong> , but abroad it had twice <strong>as many votes<\/strong> , which <strong>no sociologist has explained<\/strong> . Why is that? <strong>It cannot be logically explained in any way<\/strong> . I have a very clear opinion on this, that <strong>electoral fraud certainly occurred<\/strong> . Votes from abroad had a very <strong>strong influence on the final election result<\/strong> . If it were not for the falsified foreign votes, Progressive Slovakia would have about 13 <strong>% of the votes<\/strong> in parliament today.<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Simecka_and_Bardy_case\"><\/span> <u><strong>The \u0160ime\u010dka and B\u00e1rdy case<\/strong><\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> <strong>Corruption affair of the Progressive Slovakia party: The case of Michal \u0160ime\u010dka and Marta \u0160ime\u010dkov\u00e1<\/strong> . One of the most successful <strong>manipulative media operations<\/strong> in the history of Slovakia was the fact that during the period when <strong>Michal \u0160ime\u010dka<\/strong> was dismissed from the post <strong>of Vice-Chairman of the National Council of the Slovak Republic<\/strong> , <strong>serious corruption affairs of his family<\/strong> were revealed. Instead of <strong>condemning<\/strong> his corruption, the media made him <strong>a martyr, a sufferer, and a tormentor<\/strong> , which is truly <strong>absurd<\/strong> . Also during this period, the media completely <strong>censored a very important press conference of the Minister of Justice<\/strong> , where the minister described in detail what <strong>the corruption schemes<\/strong> consisted of. I consider censoring such important information to be <strong>absolutely absurd<\/strong> . It is <strong>a crying malice and manipulation on the part of the media<\/strong> .<br \/> Later <strong>, the Prime Minister<\/strong> himself reported on corruption, and the media <strong>could no<\/strong> longer censor it. <strong>It is no longer possible to censor the words of the highest-ranking person in the state, the Prime Minister himself<\/strong> . I learned about the Michal \u0160ime\u010dka case in a rather strange way \u2013 from the media. I saw absolutely <strong>insane and hysterical articles<\/strong> , hysterical headlines in <strong>Denn\u00edk N<\/strong> and <strong>the weekly T\u00fd\u017ede\u0148<\/strong> , with insane paranoia about Robert Fico. I thought to myself, what is actually happening, I have to watch that press conference. And then I learned more from the press conference.<br \/> The media once again resorted to very <strong>unethical manipulative practices<\/strong> when they completely <strong>refused to inform<\/strong> what was actually discussed at the press conference. On the one hand, it is true that the Smer party is trying <strong>to divert attention from unpopular consolidation measures<\/strong> . But on the other hand, <strong>everything<\/strong> that was said at that press conference was <strong>100% true<\/strong> . Michal \u0160ime\u010dka at the subsequent press conference <strong>could not explain absolutely anything<\/strong> . I only saw <strong>a frightened and desperate man<\/strong> who talked about everything possible at the press conference, <strong>except for the corruption scandal and the thefts of his mother<\/strong> . Furthermore, we also saw <strong>Marta \u0160ime\u010dkov\u00e1&#39;s reaction on Facebook<\/strong> , and she again <strong>explained absolutely nothing<\/strong> . When we look at the opinions of both camps, it is absolutely clear who is right.<br \/> <strong>The most influential editor-in-chief, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aktuality.sk\/clanok\/ds6Eaw7\/robert-fico-sa-zaspinil-az-po-usi-komentar-petra-bardyho\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peter B\u00e1rdy<\/a><\/strong> , also reacted to Smer&#39;s press conference, and he could do nothing but write that <strong>Robert Fico is a dirty pig or a dirty sow<\/strong> . Otherwise, he said nothing meaningful, nor any meaningful argument. It is unbelievable that <strong>human stupidity knows no bounds<\/strong> . Despite such a scandal by Michal \u0160ime\u010dka, people will continue to vote for Progressive Slovakia, and despite such a scandal by the media, people will continue <strong>to believe the media<\/strong> . I consider this <strong>absolutely absurd<\/strong> . Human stupidity knows no bounds.<br \/> The media further <strong>diverted attention from \u0160ime\u010dka&#39;s affair<\/strong> by giving far too much space to the statement of <strong>the absolutely irrelevant prosecutor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aktuality.sk\/clanok\/etl9M8l\/robert-fico-zautocil-na-matku-michala-simecku-hovori-o-podvodoch-za-desattisice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maro\u0161 \u017dilinka<\/a><\/strong> , who had <strong>absolutely nothing to do<\/strong> with it.<br \/> It is certainly in <strong>the public interest<\/strong> for the public to know about \u0160ime\u010dka&#39;s affair, because <strong>parents are role models for their children<\/strong> . When a child sees that a parent <strong>steals, lies, and cheats<\/strong> , how can we be sure that Michal \u0160ime\u010dka will not do the same when he gets to the trough? When he gets to <strong>big money<\/strong> and <strong>big politics<\/strong> , he will steal <strong>hundreds of millions of euros<\/strong> . So far, it was hundreds of thousands of euros that his parents stole, but when he is in power, he will steal <strong>on a large scale<\/strong> .<br \/> <strong>Free media and free NGOs do not exist in Slovakia.<\/strong><br \/> In a healthy society with free media, it should not be the Smer party that uncovers \u0160ime\u010dka&#39;s corruption, but investigative journalists or anti-corruption NGOs. The role of journalists is to apply the same standards to all political parties, but in practice, only unfree journalistic prostitutes operate, serving as propaganda for the PS party. There is no such thing as free journalism and free media in Slovakia. It is a total disgrace that the work of investigative journalists has to be replaced by the Smer party.<br \/> It is also a great mystery why investigative journalists and anti-corruption organizations such as Stop Corruption do not address corruption under the Matovi\u010d and Heger governments, so that we know who benefited most from the COVID crisis. If they revealed the truth, Matovi\u010d and the Democrats party would certainly never get into parliament again. However, journalists and NGO organizations are obsessed with government parties.<br \/> The fact that <strong>the media is doing more and more primitive and stupid propaganda in favor of the PS party<\/strong> is also proven by the statement of one of the most ardent fighters against the SMER party, Martin Hanus. When even Martin Hanus is outraged that the media is too strongly biased against the Smer party and too much in favor of the PS party, that&#39;s saying something. Just yesterday, Hanus made \u0160ime\u010dka out to be a wronged martyr because of corruption scandals, today he has already admitted serious corruption in the PS party. Hanus reproaches journalists for not having any critical questions for \u0160ime\u010dka and that the case existed in the media for only one day (although even minor scandals of the SMER party are able to feed the media for weeks and they dedicate a large number of articles to them).<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zora_Jaurova\"><\/span> <u><strong>Zora Jaurov\u00e1<\/strong><\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> <strong>Zora<\/strong> <strong>Jaurov\u00e1<\/strong> , who pretends to be some kind <strong>of shadow minister of culture<\/strong> , was also an important part of the affair. I personally do not consider Zora Jaurov\u00e1 to be <strong>an expert<\/strong> . The most she is an expert at is <strong>stealing money<\/strong> . She is certainly not an alternative to the current Minister of Culture. The only thing Zora Jaurov\u00e1 has achieved in her life is that <strong>she accepted a bribe from Marta \u0160ime\u010dkov\u00e1<\/strong> .<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jaroslav_Spisiak\"><\/span> <u><strong>Jaroslav Spi\u0161iak<\/strong><\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> <strong>Jaroslav Spi\u0161iak is an important accomplice of the bloodiest mafia, the \u0160\u00e1torovci<\/strong> . While Matovi\u010d&#39;s political police, the so-called <strong>\u010curillovci<\/strong> , could not find <strong>any corruption<\/strong> against <strong>Robert Fico<\/strong> or <strong>Robert Kali\u0148\u00e1k<\/strong> and were prosecuted only for a press conference, if Progres\u00edvne Slovensko came to power, Slovakia would truly become, in the true sense of the word, <strong>a mafia state<\/strong> . A leading representative of the PS party, <strong>Jaroslav Spi\u0161iak<\/strong> , was a very <strong>important accomplice<\/strong> , if not a direct <strong>member of the \u0160\u00e1torovci mafia<\/strong> . <strong>Investigative journalist Ivan Mego<\/strong> deals with this topic in more detail.<br \/> In Slovakia <strong>, there is no such thing as free media<\/strong> . Ivan Mego was fired from <strong>Startitup<\/strong> after he did free journalism and interviewed Jaroslav Spi\u0161iak, where he asked him about <strong>how he covered up the \u0160\u00e1tor mafia<\/strong> . All honest journalists have been fired from the newsrooms and only prostitutes remain, who will censor everything negative about the PS party for money and will promote this political party as if it were the best political party.<br \/> As <strong>an expert in non-verbal communication<\/strong> , I can confirm that Ivan Mego is <strong>absolutely right<\/strong> . If Jaroslav Spi\u0161iak were on <strong>a lie detector<\/strong> , the detector would <strong>have beeped throughout<\/strong> the entire interview \u2013 <strong>it would have beeped constantly<\/strong> . During the interview, Jaroslav Spi\u0161iak&#39;s <strong>enormous nervousness<\/strong> was evident. Even a person who is not an expert in non-verbal communication must have noticed how <strong>nervously he was squeezing the cushion between his legs<\/strong> , which is clear evidence of enormous nervousness and proof that this man <strong>does not have a clear conscience<\/strong> .<br \/> There is a strange contrast here: while the Smer party was <strong>wrongly accused of being a mafia<\/strong> , and none of it was confirmed, we can literally say that the Progressive Slovakia party is a mafia \u2013 <strong>Progressive Slovakia is a mafia<\/strong> . And unfortunately, that is true. As long as Jaroslav Spi\u0161iak is a member of this party, Progressive Slovakia will be <strong>a mafia<\/strong> . And it is not an exaggeration to say so.<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Slovakias_Indebtedness\"><\/span> <u><strong>Slovakia&#39;s Indebtedness<\/strong><\/u><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3> In connection with <strong>the consolidation of public finances<\/strong> , it is very often mentioned which governments <strong>have indebted Slovakia more<\/strong> . This is probably <strong>the most popular media disinformation<\/strong> , that whenever there was <strong>a Smer government<\/strong> , it indebted more, and conversely, when <strong>Mikul\u00e1\u0161 Dzurinda<\/strong> was in power, and when there were so-called <strong>right-wing governments<\/strong> , it indebted much less.<br \/> The fact is that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rrz.sk\/fiskalna-databaza\/hruby-cisty-dlh-vs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the real numbers and<\/strong> <strong>graphs<\/strong><\/a> that you can google <strong>say something else<\/strong> . Slovakia <strong>was most indebted by<\/strong> the Matovi\u010d government, followed immediately by the Radi\u010dov\u00e1 government. There is no need to believe various disinformation, which you can learn, for example, from <strong>Ivan Miklo\u0161<\/strong> , who claims how good Dzurinda&#39;s governments were. It is true that under Dzurinda, the debt was kept <strong>relatively under control<\/strong> . However, under <strong>Radi\u010dov\u00e1&#39;s government,<\/strong> Ivan Miklo\u0161 was also a minister, and it turned out <strong>disastrously<\/strong> .
