Day after day, the Kremlin floods the world with its propaganda. In this column we present the most macabre, bizarre or perfidious gems from the propagandists’ workshop. This time: Putin’s mystical arsenal.
In war all means are permitted. An old adage that the Kremlin propagandists have taken to heart. Even if Vladimir Putin and with him Russia are not waging a war at all, but are laying waste to another country in a “special operation”. Any means is right for propaganda – the main thing is that the man who would so dreadfully want to be a tsar is satisfied.
Even supernatural powers are used here. The Kremlin propaganda has now created a new military service for this purpose. In the program “New Russian Sensations” a novelty was actually presented: a combat clairvoyant of the KGB.
Two weeks ago, Russian state television unearthed the Bulgarian clairvoyant Baba Wanga and gave her prime time broadcasting time. 26 years after the death of the famous seer, supposed friends, companions and similarly suspicious personalities appear and tell of prophecies that they claim to have remembered decades later. As luck would have it: At a time when Saint Petersburg was probably just a number in the criminal world, Baba Wanga used his current handbook for propagandists and sounded suspiciously like Master of Disaster Vladimir Solovyov.
Propaganda invents “Our Grandpa Wanga”
But Baba Wanga was only the foreplay. The main part goes to a man who was baptized by the creative minds of the. They found Ivan Fomin in deepest Russian provinces. This “simple, sympathetic grandfather sees through and through people, almost like an X-ray machine. He makes precise diagnoses and heals no worse than Wanga,” he is praised in an almost hour-long post – without any irony.
The KGB’s battle clairvoyant, as the propagandists call him. Of course, the only person who can testify to both his healing skills and his achievements in the Soviet secret service is himself. The smock that the elderly man holds up to the camera was intended to lend weight to the words of their KGB creation in the fantasies of the scenarists . In reality, however, he shows that “Grandpa Wanga” was never in the military.
Neither insignia nor asterisks reveal which armed forces the psychic served with. And so he calls himself “Colonel of all kinds of armed forces”. The propagandists not only invent a new profession with him, but also a new rank.
A medal for 9 euros
The frills glittering on “Grandpa Wanga’s” coat are anniversary medals. The medal he claims to have received for setting up a magical shield for some troop can be purchased with a few clicks on the web. The good piece that the KGB clairvoyant is so proud of costs 550 rubles or 9 euros. “Donbass volunteer” reads the inscription on the four-pointed star. In view of the losses of Russian troops in Donbass, his magical shield left a lot to be desired.
His “extraordinary talent” is also weakening in his case. The man who claims to have healed the blind wears a hearing aid himself. Hearing is probably not his specialty. And so he is forced to wear a devilish invention from the devilish west. Admittedly a tragic fate.
The Great Prophecy
But things look even bleaker for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, of which the man, who claims to have never been wrong, is certain. Zelenskyi will soon flee Ukraine “to Poland or one of the Baltic countries, most likely Lithuania”. “I see that very clearly,” explains the 86-year-old. “He’s really worried, to be honest. But he doesn’t see a way out, he’s lost. He’ll figure it out eventually, but it will be too late. He’s easy to influence, you can manipulate him. You can control him pressure, and he agrees. He resembles Biden with his unstable psyche. You work with him on the same vibrations, as I put it,” Fomin quite accidentally repeats word for word the narrative of the Kremlin’s propaganda over the past few years.
And finally comes the climax: the medium gives the exact date of Volodymyr Zelensky’s surrender and the end of the “special operation” in Ukraine. “He himself will resign from the presidency… I see a new regime being established there. A new candidate will be nominated to take his place, maybe even one we know…. I think by September, sometime in September.” , he slurs several times. “On the 17th I see the number 17,” he prophesies.
“September 17 sounds too optimistic,” is the surprising conclusion of the show’s creators. Does anyone doubt the lightning success of the Russian troops? But the NTW people immediately corrected their mistake: “We have no reason not to trust him. We remember this: one of the strongest clairvoyants in the country predicts that the special operation will end on September 17th.”
The numbers trick
But maybe we should actually remember this date. Shortly before the start of the invasion of the Ukraine, Wanga was also allowed to prophesy a great event. On a date with five Twos, something would happen that would change the course of history. On 02/22/22 Putin declared the recognition of the independence of the separatist republics in eastern Ukraine. The first step to war. With a simple presentation trick, the Russian state TV lets viewers forget that the date in question contains six twos. Or where do you see a sixth two at 2/22/22? But diviners can also be really useful – if they say what they are told.
