In attempting to shape and influence the world through chaos and confusion, the Russian establishment and state media have themselves become both transmission medium and primary victims of these “active measures”. In trying to leverage and exploit lies, uncertainty and doubt – the totalitarian state has itself become the primary target and victim of these methods of influence. In seeking to render facts as false they can now no longer see or even understand truth.
Putin has manufactured the self-validating conditions for the continuity of his own ideological madness and now fails to understand that as some kind of twisted King Midas everything he does must eventually also become chaos, disaster, failure, falsehood and insanity.
