Worldwide waves of excitement

The first wave of excitement began in the Middle East: after the conquest and occupation of Iraq by the Americans, the threat to Iran and the continuing brutal oppression of the Palestinian people, a young middle class emancipated itself under the protection of Islam and discovered the Arab Spring. The revolution was crushed by military means and the Americans installed a new regime of torture which was even more cruel than the Mubarak regime. The consequences were the terror of the "Islamic state", to which the political apparatuses of the USA and Europe reacted in a coordinated way, when the attacks also reached Europe and the USA….

The first wave of excitement began in the Middle East: after the conquest and occupation of Iraq by the Americans, the threat to Iran and the ongoing brutal repression of the Palestinian people, a young middle class emancipated itself under the protection of Islam and discovered the Arab Spring. The revolution was brutally suppressed by military means and the Americans installed a new torture regime that was even more cruel than the Mubarak regime. The consequences were the terror of the “Islamic State”, to which the political apparatuses of the USA and Europe reacted in concert when the attacks also reached Europe.

The second wave. that ran across the globe began with the increased African migration and refugee movement. The looting of the African continent by the corporations of the western world led to increasing impoverishment. The agricultural surplus produced in Europe was exported to Africa, where it destroyed the local production structures. The West African fishing grounds were fished empty by Western European companies. The continent's natural resources (oil from Nigeria, metals from the Congo) are looted with the help of corruption. The resulting relatively carefree life in Western European countries was widely broadcast by the media and, with brutal oppression at the same time, led to the desire for participation in the home countries that swelled into a wave.

In contrast to the spread of viruses, there was and still is a second and even several waves of migration here. When the wave could not be stopped at the beginning and the migrants camped in Austria and on the borders of Germany, the government used the trick to portray themselves as human and the story of the pastor's daughter was brought out. But the borders were quickly closed and the rescue of drowning people was criminalized. In this case too, the governments of Europe and even the United States coordinated and reacted together.

The third wave of excitement loomed when it became clear that the neoliberal economic constitution was heading for a collapse. It began with the so-called financial crisis of 2008, which in reality was only one manifestation of the neoliberal social model. It became increasingly clear that this model could only be maintained with the greatest sacrifice, only to end up in a catastrophe with millions of unemployed. The political class came under international pressure; so-called populist governments like in Hungary and Poland tried to break away; in Italy the “five-star movement” was involved in government, in France it was tried with Macron, in Great Britain there was the Brexit movement and in Germany the AfD was established. Old elites had to resign, social democracy disappeared at breathtaking speed. In the United States, a psychopath was brought up as president. And Brazil has a corrupt president with fascist ideas ..

In this situation, which threatened the old elites, the mass panic generated by the media, which spread in waves across the globe, was a welcome occasion for governments to take the initiative to discipline the people and prepare them for the coming need. This time, in addition to the concerned pastor's daughter, it was a good idea to bring out the image of the physicist, who confidently handles scientific terms. In the event of insufficient preparatory work from the RKI, however, the Chancellor got tangled up with the statistical criteria, so that the actual political motivation became visible. The neo-liberal press, whether left or right, and the state media were at first enthusiastically and now increasingly doggedly manipulating the masses. Even after the wave of infections has subsided, they still try to maintain the excitement regardless of making a fool of themselves. In view of this coherence between the political apparatus and the media and at the same time disinformation with choking off non-conforming statements, one has to ask whether there has ever been an internal independence or whether it was rather a fiction. In this context, one must also explain the attack on ZDF.
