This book lifts the corner of the curtain, revealing the corner of state secrets, those that one should not know. Vladimir Fédorovski unveils the backstage of power both in Russia and in the West.
How did the USSR collapse? The revolution and its excesses, the absolute power of Stalin. The Cold War, the actions of the United States. The author spares nothing and no one in his book. Can we believe the information disclosed by the media? Who owns these same media? Already the question becomes more explicit.
Attacks orchestrated and arranged. Assassinations, revolutions, facts, wars triggered to serve interests unknown to the general public. As for the public, precisely, how to inform it or rather direct its choices, vote well in elections?
The true novel of manipulation is a detailed review of the leaders’ grip on populations. A scapegoat must be created, as it has always been; today, manipulation happens on other fronts: sports, reality TV, celebrities, tabloid press. People are fascinated with models to follow and imitate. For this, they must be dulled with mind-numbing TV shows.
The ruling elite thus ensures that people are prevented from thinking and reflecting. We return to the recipe of the Roman emperors: games and bread, here football and the consumerist spiral.
A magnificent book, a must-read to become aware of the invisible chains that bind true freedom, that of thinking.
