FINNISH RESEARCHER WORRIES ABOUT RUSSIAN INFOWARS, SHOULD ALSO WORRY ABOUT OWN STATE’S……..

The Finnish state conducts infowars against Israel.

There is no doubt in my mind whatsoever about Putin’s Russia disseminating propaganda and false info (infowars) throughout the West. One of the persons named in the article is an arch-stooge for Russian propaganda in Finland, Johan Bäckman. That said, Finnish researcher, Saara Jantunen, would be well advised research the publically funded propaganda emanating from the various branches of both the EU and Finnish governments.

The disinformation and slight of hand strategies of both entities has been constant and intense for decades. The EU, with its pantheon of statist and neo-statist demagogues are shown to be the saviours of Europe all the while they are the ones creating the chaos. Using each crisis created, the EU strips more sovereignty from its member states, thereby removing the people from the decision making process with no oversight and no accountability.

Then there is the ongoing propaganda war against the Jewish state of Israel, with many EU member governments funding NGO’s for anti-Israel purposes but under the thinly veiled guise of ”human rights”. If Jantunen wants to find troublesome propaganda/infowars, she could also find it at home as well.

Finnish researcher: Russia ramping up its information war

Russia has intensified its ongoing information war against the West since the onset of the Ukraine crisis in 2014. Finnish author Saara Jantunen says the campaign cannot be reduced to a few crazies blowing off steam, because at its worst the goal is to encourage public mayhem via false information. She also claims people in Finland who call attention to the looming threat are being silenced.

Doctor of Military Science and infowar expert Saara Jantunen has released a new book in Finnish on the Russian misinformation campaign. Named ‘Infosota’, the book explores the ruthless front lines of the concentrated Russian infowar effort, including its troll houses – where hundreds of Russian bloggers are paid to flood forums and social networks at home and abroad with anti-western and pro-Kremlin comments.

For nearly a decade now, the Kremlin has been busily waging an information war mainly through its international broadcaster RT (formerly known as Russia Today). In 2015, Russia increased its spending on RT by more than 50 percent to over 260 million euros.

Jantunen isn’t the only researcher in Finland who is concerned about the growing influence of the Russia information war. Director of government communications and Finnish Safety Committee expert member Markku Mantila and University of Helsinki researcher Hanna Smith have both warned against the dangers of mixing lies and reality.

“I am deeply concerned about the levels of discussion in the Finnish political arena if people aren’t allowed to speak,” says Jantunen.

She says it is high time Finnish politicians put the country’s former presidents and Eastern neighbour appeasers Paasikivi and Kekkonen to rest.

“Nostalgia for the days of Finlandisation and the re-interpreted retro importance of the Paasikivi-Kekkonen policy line are just props that are used to avoid real decision-making and true intellectual independence.”

NOTE: This explains how easy it has been for the Finnish government to parrot EU rhetoric against those who champion individualism, freedom of thought and conscious. Being against Islamization will bring out the worst sort of propaganda from Finnish authorities, smeared, tarred and feathered and brought before the court, with the outcome known in advance.
