THE DRAGON HUNTERS

Fake patriots

Instead of inventing and perfecting mechanisms to protect the public interest from all abuses, this government is trying to improve the instruments of control of independent media and NGOs that only point to numerous abuses and inactions of the powerful.

I regret that so much effort and energy is being invested in something that is unfounded and unnecessary insinuations that it is about the illegal work and behavior of Montenegrin institutions, and not about joint work on European integration," said Minister Aleksandar Andrija Pejović to reporters regarding the claims of the NGO sector. that he illegally holds several state functions, which brings him close to 5 thousand euros per month.

"I am sorry that so much effort and energy is being invested in something that is unfounded and unnecessary insinuations that it is illegal work and behavior," said President of the Assembly Ivan Brajović regarding media reports that SD officials and activists are involved in a new the case of political corruption in Berane.

"I regret that so much effort and energy is invested in something that is unfounded and unnecessary insinuations that it is illegal work and behavior," said the director of the Real Estate Agency, Dragan Kovačević, regarding the findings published in the media that his property situation far exceeds the possibilities and salary of a civil servant.

"I regret that so much effort and energy is invested in something that is unfounded and unnecessary insinuations that it is illegal work and behavior," said Mayor Slavoljub Stijepović after media revelations that the famous 100 thousand euros, according to the confession of one of the Atlas couriers bank, handed over to him.

"I'm sorry that so much effort and energy is being invested in something that is unfounded and unnecessary insinuations that it is about the illegal work and behavior of VDT", said Ivica Stanković regarding media evaluations that his associates are the case of Limenka instead of indictments for high-level corruption level pushed into obsolescence.

"I'm sorry that so much effort and energy is invested in something that is unfounded and unnecessary insinuations that it is about illegal work and behavior," says Milorad Popović, boxer and writer, regarding media research that showed that in the last ten years from The Ministry of Culture and other institutions received over half a million euros for their projects in the publishing industry.

"We are sorry that so much effort and energy is being invested in something that is unfounded and unnecessary insinuations that it is about the illegal work and behavior of Montenegrin institutions," the members of the so-called of the newspaper self-regulatory body on the occasion of the latest CGO report, which testifies that for the tenth year in a row these media receive 95 percent of the money that budget institutions and public companies spend on advertising.

"I'm sorry that so much effort and energy is being invested in something that is unfounded and unnecessary insinuations that it is illegal work and behavior," Milo Đukanović has been repeating for years regarding numerous articles that his government in dozens of cases illegally provided state aid, guarantees, concessions. The leader of the SDP calls it a hoax.

It could go on and on like this. The Montenegrin elite, both those from the government and those from the underground, through heavily paid propaganda and intellectual servants, developed a defense mechanism that covers all their inactions at the expense of the public interest and finances with the story of higher interests embodied in the defense of the state and Euro-Atlantic integrations. The more they steal, the more their mouths are filled with patriotism and various enemies. "Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels," wrote Samuel Johnson, more than 250 years ago. And, we see, it is still relevant today. American President Donald Trump abuses the same method by formulating it with the phrase "fake news". Any media that reports on his ties to the Kremlin, on Russian support during the election campaign, on his conflict of interest, corruption, hate speech, xenophobia - Trump tries to belittle and discredit with tweets about lying media. Fake news. The New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC, CNN - everything is fake news for Trump, except for Fox and Brybite. It comes to him like Pink, Pobjeda or Antena M here.

If the DPS is wondering, Montenegro will be the first country whose parliament will introduce "fake news" into the law, which means that all the confused Pejovics, all our Andrias and Aleksandras, will become protected by law, and their offenses against the law will be treated as the greatest contribution to EU integration and defense. of the state. Instead of inventing and perfecting mechanisms to protect the public interest from all abuses, this government is trying to improve the instruments of control of independent media and NGOs that only point to numerous abuses and inactions of the powerful. Because, as the Brussels progress reports explain to us, the competent institutions that should be the most important guardians of democracy and justice are captured.

Charles Simic would say - too corrupt to be able to resist such unscrupulous robbers. That is why independent media and NGOs remain the state's last line of defense. True patriots who defend the public interest from fake patriots who are ordinary thieves and scoundrels.
