Also, <strong>the brochure is a triptych, but only five of its six sides are shown.<\/strong> Where is the sixth side? Why hasn't it been shown?<\/p>\n<p><big>Some images that are spreading Russian websites and Internet users<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Google allows you to search for the source of an image. Introduje en el buscador una de las im\u00e1genes de ese folleto y, casualmente, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbs=sbi:AMhZZiuh-cBK8-qnRyCUmHShkIXxYqy5XTD8M0oLeMbQm5TIdM1dP8tNSnVE8BYAvV8Xmk15UxPhztERFY9lKnjh86bPND6XJUrjQjoBM_16Hsso6DkwKAme_1NHhsZSvwg6sO9dj4vSPg48IS-fKNGikG-nxmPH-W_1A&sxsrf=ALiCzsZcpUGijlpSiFXzXsH6EG46MQTx-g:1660665949236&ei=XcD7YqjqDbO8xc8Pr4WSuA0&start=20&sa=N&ved=2ahUKEwjojPrf3sv5AhUzXvEDHa-CBNc4ChDw0wN6BAgBEEE&biw=1244&bih=695&dpr=2\" rel=\"noopener\" image sources of the vast majority of Russian web accounts and target=\"_blank\"<a>. There is not a single British source, something curious. Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/2foXU\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">I found a Russian website that showed all six sides of the brochure<\/a>. <strong>The sixth face encourages children to invite that stranger into their home.<\/strong> It's complete nonsense, and perhaps that's why most broadcasters of those images <strong>have omitted that one, since it subtracts credibility from the montage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Significantly, <strong>no logo or credential indicating who has published it appears on any of the sides of the brochure<\/strong>. In two of the photos the lower stripe of the corresponding face is hidden. Obviously,<strong>if this brochure were from an official institution, its broadcasters would be the first interested in showing the logo.<\/strong> But there is nothing like that. It is a brochure that could have been made by anyone and in any country. And coincidentally, <strong>virtually all of the broadcasters are Russian or pro-Russian websites or social media accounts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><big>The source of these images is a Moscow website<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Finally, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/irfkP\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">I found the oldest source of these images: the Russian website aftershock.news<\/a>, based in Moscow. It is a website that collects alleged information from various countries. The publisher of that information, released this Monday at 09:50, signs as \"Asgard\" next to a German flag. After showing the photos, <strong>Russian text appears, stating: <em>\"In the UK, children are taught not to be afraid of pedophiles.\"<\/em><\/strong> After of citing the messages of the brochure, the text adds: <em>\"<strong>This brochure is distributed in British kindergartens<\/strong>\".<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, <strong>Google entering the brochure title<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=%22What+to+do+if+a+stranger+comes+up+to+you+on+the+street%3F%22&sxsrf=ALiCzsaV2YPJX2DiW2YsFaTTRsgIE2KJcg%3A1660670168248&ei=2ND7Yt7dDraqxc8Pz_KWqAw&ved=0ahUKEwjeqd677sv5AhU2VfEDHU-5BcUQ4dUDCA8&uact=5&oq=%22What+to+do+if+a+stranger+comes+up+to+you+on+the+street%3F%22&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQAzIFCCEQoAEyBQghEKABMgUIIRCgATIFCCEQoAFKBAhBGAFKBAhGGABQrwVYtQtg-QxoAXAAeACAAZ4BiAGFApIBAzAuMpgBAKABAcABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz-serp\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">not a single result appears<\/a> That pamphlet is distributed in UK kindergartens and no scandalized family has written anything about it? Hasn't it appeared in the media either?<\/p>\n<p><big>A disinformation campaign to discredit the West<\/big><\/p>\n<p><strong>Everything points to the fact that we are facing another new Russian disinformation campaign.<\/strong> It is not the first nor will it be the last, and like others that have been launched from Russia, its purpose would be to discredit the countries that are helping Ukraine, <strong>presenting the West as something depraved and monstrous<\/strong>, to reinforce the evil image that Russian citizens have of Western countries after many years of propaganda like that.<\/p>\n<p>Looking abroad, <strong>the campaign would seek to influence the Western public in favor of Russia<\/strong>, presented by Russian propagandists as a spiritual reserve against a corrupt West (despite the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2022\/01\/29\/putin-provida-un-repaso-a-la-ley-abortista-que-aprobo-su-partido-rusia-unida-en-2011\/\"> Russia has sky-high abortion rates<\/a> and its troops are committing all kinds of atrocities in Ukraine). Of course, many will swallow that montage. After all, <strong>there are many people who out of affinity believe anything, no matter how crazy, and in Moscow they take advantage of that.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some do not know it, but the Internet and social networks are one of the current scenarios of a way of waging war based on propaganda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[19536,11397],"tags":[17198,10731,10678],"class_list":["post-48302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-we-said-yesterday","category-internet-eng","tag-hoaxes","tag-russia","tag-united-kingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48302"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48302\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
