Ekaterina Boncheva - a long-time former journalist from Radio “Free Europe”, was a democrat at heart, Georgi Lyubenov solemnly declared in his program “The Day Begins” on BNT.
I smiled because I also like people with a sense of humor.
Boncheva, as soon as Zhorkata gave her the floor, energetically threw herself into explaining how powerful, you see, Russian propaganda was in our country.
Well, I don't know how powerful Russian propaganda is in our country, but I know with complete certainty, because I love to read, how powerful the CIA propaganda has been in our country over the past 30 years. And the face of Ekaterina Boncheva has always been the voice of this propaganda. What's more. It can be said quite safely that as a long-time employee of “Free Europe” she actually received her salary from the CIA.
And this is not about whether I have anything against the CIA, no, I don't, as long as they don't try to brainwash me with Bochko, but because a CIA employee, as it turns out Boncheva is, has absolutely no right to talk to me about ethics, at least due to the fact that Radio Free Europe is a product of this intelligence agency.
Because if anyone doesn't know, it was created and has existed over the years with only one purpose - propaganda. And so as not to be wordy, I will give you a few examples from the winner of the “Pulitzer” Tim Weiner and his book “Legacy from the Ashes - A History of the CIA.”
On page 55 of the book in question, it says the following verbatim: “Wisner, Kennan and Allen Dulles had found a much better way to harness the political agenda and intellectual energies of Eastern European émigrés and direct these two elements back beyond the Iron Curtain - Radio “Free Europe”. The planning (of this project, editor's note) began as early as late 1948 and early 1949”
In fact, this is how the “Free Europe” propaganda machine was born. It is not clear to me why this propaganda machine continues to operate to this day, 30 years after the fall of the Iron Curtain, but it is completely clear to me why Boncheva spent 90% of her television appearance with Zhoro Lyubenov spitting on Russia. But still, that is the woman's job - to be an agent of influence and make some money.
On page 148 of the same book by Weiner, it says the following: “Grew became the first chairman of the National Committee for Free Europe, a CIA front created in support of Radio “Free Europe” and other political warfare programs.”
And more:
Page 156: “All restrictions have been lifted - reads the propaganda directive to the director of Radio “Free Europe”, sent by the CIA to the Hungarian team in Munich - – “Everything is permitted. I repeat: Everything is permitted.” That very evening Radio “Free Europe” calls on Hungarian citizens to sabotage railways, cut telephone lines, arm partisans and fight the Soviets to the death.”
Page 322: “Radio “Free Europe”, Radio “Freedom” and the Congress for Cultural Freedom are listed as the main creatures of the US Central Intelligence Agency.”
Now, could you tell me - is this a radio station and are its employees journalists? Also keep in mind that along these lines, over the next 20 years (1960 - 1980), the activities of Radio “Free Europe” were financed with over 400 million dollars (to date, this amounts to about 1 billion dollars) for propaganda and support in the interests of the CIA.
Actually, all of the above has long been known facts. For many, it is no secret that “Free Europe” is equivalent to the CIA. The question for me, however, is this: Why is Boncheva on national airwaves and presented as a Bulgarian journalist, given that she has never been one, and for decades has received her salary from another place, which in turn was financed by a foreign intelligence agency.
Therefore, perhaps it is no coincidence that immediately from “Free Europe” Boncheva went in 2007 to the so-called Commission on the Files, specially formed to disclose the documents and to declare the affiliation of Bulgarian citizens to the State Security and the intelligence services of the Bulgarian People's Army – exactly those Bulgarian services that fought the influence of the CIA.
What kind of Bulgarian can Katya Boncheva be and what kind of journalist could she be, when she has been receiving her salary from foreign intelligence all her life and has been engaged in propaganda, not journalism, all her life?
I want to emphasize that this text is not dedicated to defending anyone's foreign propaganda, let alone Russian propaganda, because most likely this is what a deformed brain could give birth to. This text is dedicated to those who have the full right to know who and why is telling them biased nonsense on national airwaves. Because these are not independent and objective journalists, but paid agents of foreign influence. And in this line of thought, I think it is a complete shame for Zhoro Lyubenov and his boss Koshlukov to invite to national television people who have worked against Bulgaria all their lives, not for Bulgaria. Once upon a time, before 1989, our country was full of the same hypocritical sycophants, who then, however, suggested to us how the sun rises thanks to the USSR. Today, on the other hand, it is full of exactly the same ones who are again deceiving the audience in the same style, but this time in the interests of their new master.
By the way, it is a credit to Trump and Musk that they planned to stop the propaganda activities of this fake media "Free Europe". However, this is, of course, unlikely to happen, but to be honest, it is not that important. However, it is important that we - Bulgarians, know who is who in this propaganda war, as well as not allow such hollow faces to talk to us about morality and ethics on TV, given that they themselves have never known the essence of these concepts.
In short - "Free Europe" is not a media. It is anything but what it presents itself as. As for the person Lyubenov - the boy is an actor. He is paid to play roles. As far as it goes, let the experts from NATFA say that. In my opinion, it is ideal for the Puppet Theater.
