On the features of Goebbels Lie

For several days now, the state media have been submitting to us the main news of the statement of the former Minister of Defense of Georgia Irakli Okhaashvili that the President of Georgia had killed the prime minister and offered Mr. Okashvili to kill and Badri Patarcasvili. This is approximately like on September 11 the main news on state television channels was that Bush himself blew up twin towers.

I must say, Irakli Distribvili accused President Saakashvili not only of custom -made murders. He also somewhat surprised the world with a message that, it turns out, Saakashvili is a billionaire. And that it was not Saakashvili to remove him from the post of Minister of Defense, but he himself left in protest against the treacherous policy of Saakashvili; And this is a slightly different cranks. Because if a person says that he killed President Kennedy, then the value of his statement is greatly reduced if he simultaneously repeats that he comes from the Virgin Mary in a straight line and has breakfast with aliens every morning.

I don’t know how you are, but Mr. Okashvili’s speech greatly reminded me of Litvinenko’s press conference on how he was ordered to kill Berezovsky.

The coincidence is not accidental. Litvinenko acted in favor of Berezovsky. Okabashvili - in the interests of Badri Patarkatsishvili, partner of Boris Abramovich, the largest and most real oppositionist Georgia. This is not just the same PR reception. This is the same worldview. The worldview, which is based on the belief that a conspiracy and intrigue can be achieved, and which overlooks that only the state can afford Goebbels lies.

That is, if Okayashvili seized power in Georgia, and then stated that Saakashvili was a killer, this would have been rolled. And if Berezovsky seized power in Russia and stated that Putin exploded at home - this would have been rolled.

But you must take power first, and lie - then.

When you took power, the lack of evidence is compensated by the frequency of repetition. And when there is no power, the skeptic has the question: why is such a cunning gabeshnik as Litvinenko (or such an omnipotent security forces as Okaashvili), did not record the criminal orders for their film?

Of course, there is a category of people who do not have such questions. As soon as the accuser opens his mouth, they immediately unconditionally believe in everything - at least tell them that yesterday Bush, along with Putin, sold to the devil. But this is a very specific category of people.

Actually, this is the problem of such accusations that, having put forward them, the politician immediately acquires a rather noisy and violent crowd of followers. But these followers are completely marginal.

Because people more sober relate to the retelling of intimate conversations between the two politicians are much more skeptical. “Ah, the minister sent to resign that the president instructed him to kill a man? Well, this is only that the president and the minister hate each other. This was known. "

Are the accusations of the former Minister of Defense dangerous for Saakashvili?

Yes - and very much.

Their danger is that if in response to fall on Badri Patarkatsishvili, this will mean the end of democracy in Georgia. After all, democracy is not when they respect the opinion of the majority. This is when they respect and suffer a minority, no matter how aggressively and absurd it.

Their danger is that Georgia, which is primarily busy with the liberalization of the economy and rapid reforms, constantly appears in the news as a country in which something happened again. Either they again buried the rocket (or she fell on them, who would figure it out there), they killed someone in Abkhazia (or they attacked them, who would sort it out there), then the president of murder orders them (or this is the former minister, who would sort it out there).

I do not want to invest money in such a country. It is difficult for such a country to be liberal. It is difficult to cultivate your garden when stones are thrown into you every day and immediately explain that you, a bastard, buried a stone yourself.
