A total absence of critical thinking in both opinion camps. One cannot help but wonder what nonsense people are willing to believe. People who are in charge of manipulating society, whether they are politicians or the media, have a very easy job.<br \/> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the one hand, alternative media have persuaded their readers to believe the most primitive hoaxes about COVID and vaccination, such as that vaccinated people were microchipped. On the other hand, the other opinion camp, the so-called mainstream media, is no better. One cannot help but be amazed by the absence of critical thinking when even mainstream media spread overly primitive hoaxes and spread hatred against the current government in an overly primitive way, and yet a significant portion of people still naively believe it.<br \/> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While in the past, only the so-called alternative media camp was known for its hatred and boorishness towards opinion opponents, and the liberal camp was known for its decency, today times are changing, and the liberal camp is also full of primitivism, boorishness, and hatred.

The catch, however, is that the leadership of the Supreme Court committed fraud when all politically sensitive cases ended up with Judge Kliment&#39;s panel. According to the rules, there must be a random selection of who is assigned the case. It is less likely than one in a thousand that all politically sensitive cases would end up only with Judge Kliment&#39;s panel. According to the rules, the person to whom the case is assigned should be generated by automatic software through its random selection, but the reality was different.<br \/> However, the media were not at all interested in these frauds at the Supreme Court, and this was a censored topic.<br \/><br \/><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Were_Fico_and_Kalinak_thieves_corrupt_or_mobsters\"><\/span> <strong>Were Fico and Kali\u0148\u00e1k thieves, corrupt, or mobsters?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> Another strong argument that calls into question the media narrative about the \u010curillovci is that they wanted to send Fico to jail and Kali\u0148\u00e1k was sent to custody for a press conference.<br \/> According to the propaganda of Matovi\u010d and the media, Fico and Kali\u0148\u00e1k did nothing but steal and were mobsters.<br \/> But in their great despair, the \u010curillovci couldn&#39;t even find a very indirect connection to corruption, so they charged them for the press conference. Matovi\u010d&#39;s and the media&#39;s entire narrative collapsed like a house of cards. The public expected them to be sent to jail for mafia or corruption crimes.<br \/> From the point of view of legal experts, this looks very bad, because this way Fico and Kali\u0148\u00e1k appear to be the least corrupt politicians in the history of Slovak politics, when the \u010curillovci couldn&#39;t find anything better on them.<br \/> On the contrary, in Matovi\u010d&#39;s government, there are ministers who were much more directly involved in corruption. See the co-financing of corrupt LIFE EU funds from the Ministry of Environment&#39;s resources, where only one percent went to nature protection and the rest was stolen. These are the results of former minister Budaj&#39;s management. The fact that a generous healthcare contract was awarded to a Trnava company owned by a person Matovi\u010d most likely knew personally also does not bode well.<br \/> *****************************************<br \/><br \/><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_philosophical_and_psychological_perspective_on_the_manipulation_of_the_population_through_propaganda\"><\/span> <strong>A philosophical and psychological perspective on the manipulation of the population through propaganda<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> Human beings are very fragile and vulnerable beings.<br \/> Most people operate on egregors. This means that they connect and allow themselves to be fanatically influenced by the propaganda of one or the other opinion camp. Either into one or the other box, not knowing that neither opinion camp is right and both are a trap.<br \/> Most people are only able to use reason to a very weakened and limited extent and to rationally analyze information in order to subject it to critical thinking.<br \/> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Most people do not have the energy to function in any other way than on egregors and to use thinking and reason. Only with the right meditation techniques can a person have the energy for this. This is the opposite spiritual system to esotericism, which, on the contrary, leads a person not to use reason and considers it a virtue.<br \/> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Another problem is that most people are not willing to analyze information, but only need to confirm their current opinion. They are not open to unpleasant truths and critical thinking.<br \/><br \/><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_principle_of_dualism_The_principle_of_good_and_evil\"><\/span> <strong>The principle of dualism. The principle of good and evil.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> Another issue is the topic of dualism. The principle of good and evil. Through this principle, people can be easily manipulated. The principle of dualism is truly real on the one hand, but on the other hand, people are very easily manipulated by a very simplified, stupid, animalistic principle of dualism. For example, considering one politician a total demon who only destroys everything, and another a savior, looking at him uncritically. Currently, according to propaganda, Robert Fico is considered a demon and Satan, and \u0160ime\u010dka is presented as a savior. The fact that the government, media, and opposition invent many hoaxes is another matter. It&#39;s incredible how uncritically people can look at \u0160ime\u010dka and the PS party. Conversely, if Progressive Slovakia came to power, alternative media would again become active, proclaiming that these politicians are doing everything to change our children&#39;s gender in schools, and I can imagine that half of the people would really believe such hoaxes, having already believed such crazy hoaxes as chips in vaccines that control the minds of the vaccinated.<br \/> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The belief in dualism is naturally genetically encoded in humans. Everyone tries to find the principle of evil to have someone to blame for the suffering, difficulties, and failures in their lives. It is very easy to find this principle of evil in a politician from one or the other opinion camp, especially when the media incites it.<br \/> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is very tempting to fall for the propaganda that Fico is evil and mafia and \u0160ime\u010dka is the savior of the nation. To realize that it is much more complicated, people do not have the energy for that. The situation is not black and white, but colorful and more complex.<br \/> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hating any politician is a mistake, because we send them so much negative energy, which not only does not help them but harms them in governing the country.<br \/><br \/><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_history_of_mankind_The_struggle_between_two_principles_stupidity_vs_reason_This_is_not_just_a_problem_of_recent_years\"><\/span> <strong>The history of mankind. The struggle between two principles: stupidity vs. reason. This is not just a problem of recent years.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> If we take the entire history of mankind, it is only about the struggle of stupidity against reason. Let&#39;s take the entire history of Europe, which was dominated by wars, religious wars, religious obscurantism, the fight against scientific progress, Giordano Bruno burned at the stake, Galileo Galilei silenced and punished by the church.<br \/> Atheism-materialism, promoted mainly through communism, became an alternative to religious obscurantism. The ideology of atheism-materialism is a lesser evil than religious obscurantism, but it is also a dead end.<br \/> Today, evolution in Europe is not only hampered by Russia&#39;s war against Ukraine but also by a false green ideology resembling a sect or religion, which wants to destroy progress, destroy what has been built in Europe, and put it in reverse. Fanatical left-wing ideology, the Green Deal, shutting down nuclear power plants, destroying agriculture, and destroying the economy through alternative energy sources.<br \/> Problems with the rise in popularity of the far right, an evolutionary setback in the form of a return to religious obscurantism through the Islamization of Europe.<br \/> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Esotericism is another system of the negative principle that slows down the evolution of mankind. The basic philosophy of esotericism is not to use reason, to deny medicine, and so on.<br \/> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This issue can be further explained based on philosophy. I believe that the planet and Europe have the opportunity to develop in both directions.

Cognitive dissonance is associated with the issue of manipulation in sects, religious fanaticism, but also in political ideologies when people refuse to accept the obvious reality.<br \/><br \/><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reminiscent_optimism\"><\/span> <strong>Reminiscent optimism<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> For those who are not familiar with this professional terminology in the field of psychology, I definitely recommend studying it. Reminiscent optimism means that people idealize their childhood too much, as if there were almost no worries in the past. From the older generation, you can see how people uncritically admire communism, while forgetting that there were many worries, suffering, and problems even under communism. We have certainly never been as well off as we are today, yet some people will still nostalgically reminisce about communism. People with communist reminiscent optimism are dangerous to society because they are still close to dictatorial regimes, authoritarian, or far-right politicians whom they elect in elections.<br \/><br \/><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Updated_862025\"><\/span> <strong>Updated 8.6.2025<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> Judge Milan Cisarik made up a paragraph to convict Ka\u017eim\u00edr.

Correctly, the assignment of the case should be done by random selection using a computer algorithm. In practice, however, it worked differently. Competent experts would be able to provide more precise numbers, but the probability that this was just a coincidence is 1:10000. With a probability almost equal to certainty, the assignment of cases was manipulated.<br \/><br \/> The Supreme Administrative Court partially acquitted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aktuality.sk\/clanok\/NGDrHZa\/sudcu-klimenta-vyzliekal-z-talara-uz-robert-fico-spravny-sud-ho-nepotrestal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Judge Kliment<\/a> . The media is rejoicing. The media is doing propaganda and has concealed the fact that Kol\u00edkov\u00e1 appointed her own political activists there. The Supreme Administrative Court is a very good and positive institution that a democratic state needs. The only problem, however, is when a politician abuses their power and appoints politicized activists to positions instead of respected judges.<br \/><br \/><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Propaganda_surrounding_the_Smer_party_mafia\"><\/span> <strong>Propaganda surrounding the Smer party: mafia<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> The Smer party was labeled as a mafia by the media and Matovi\u010d, and its members were described as people who do nothing but steal. However, this narrative ultimately collapsed like a house of cards between 2020 and 2023. Robert Kali\u0148\u00e1k and Robert Fico were accused of the worst thing for holding a press conference. Not a single corruption case. They couldn&#39;t find anything on them.

Some media outlets artificially amplify this division due to power games. It has been confirmed that the \u010curillovci were not as innocent as the media portrayed them. The statement on this topic by the independent, impartial, and apolitical judge JUDr. Peter \u0160amko is interesting. Most media outlets have chosen to manipulate and remain silent after the outbreak of this debacle, which JUDr. \u0160amko is talking about.<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uTTZBtWBe5E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uTTZBtWBe5E<\/a><br \/><br \/><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Matovics_and_the_medias_narrative_about_the_corrupt_PPA_has_crumbled_like_a_house_of_cards\"><\/span> <strong>Matovi\u010d&#39;s and the media&#39;s narrative about the corrupt PPA has crumbled like a house of cards.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2> The most important things completely escaped media attention. Few people realize the huge blunder and defeat of the media, which created a media and propaganda narrative that nothing is done at the PPA except stealing. To their great surprise, the \u010curilla team came up with the fact that Norbert Bodor, who, as far as I know, never did business in the field of agriculture, was also involved in the PPA corruption, but he was cleared of all charges in connection with the PPA, as he was accused of complete fantasies. If the corruption at the PPA had really been as bad as Matovi\u010d and the media described it until 2020, then some cases would certainly have gone to court, but that did not happen. However, the media will not admit their mistakes.<br \/> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ttof__8bsVY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ttof__8bsVY<\/a><br \/> NOW THIS WAY: &quot;83 acts in the Dobytk\u00e1r case have vanished into thin air,&quot; says lawyer M.

A very small number of about 30 people gained too much power, which they abused. The prosecutors of the Special Prosecutor&#39;s Office and the \u010curilla police officers were on first-name terms.
