Iliyan Vassilev, aka Agent Sasho of the former State Security, has once again demonstrated why he is among the most vociferous town criers of the oligarchic propaganda. Yet again, he resorted to his favourite “instrument of democracy” – a Facebook post that is then obligingly copy-pasted by Frognews, the website of his colleague Agent Academician (Ognyan Stefanov).

Disinformation, fake news and propaganda are the three key pillars of the power brokers across the world. In Bulgaria they have become an emblem of the media battering rams used by the oligarchic clique.

President of the Russophile Movement in Bulgaria charged with espionage is trying to pose as a victim and now stands on the defensive. As anyone could guess he is doing it using fakes targeting lawmaker and publisher of Telegraph Media Delyan Peevski.

What does Hristo Ivanov’s NGO Justice for Everyone do when it is not marching in support of judge №1 Lozan Panov? Option 1: it is spending grant funding. Option 2: it teams up with another NGO funded by the fugitive banker Tsvetan Vassilev, aka the Bulgarian Madoff.

Being an agent of State Security and yet having the gal to pose as a fighter against your patron Russia is like kicking your grandmother down the stairs and telling the world that she was only running. You are neither a fighter nor anything but that country’s propaganda servant. The State Security, however, had no scruples, and its agents lack those to this day, continuing to follow the messages of their mentors, only dressed up in a pro-NATO camouflage – you know, just to deceive the enemy.

On 2 September the daily newspaper Sega published a critical analysis about Bulgaria’s EU Commissioner Mariya Gabriel, which has been nominated for a second term by the government in Sofia. The author of the piece, Svetoslav Terziev, opines that it is irrelevant what area the country is put in charge of via its spot on the European Commission, insinuating that Mariya Gabriel is unfit to do the job.

Capital, the flagship of Media Empire ruled by oligarch Prokopiev, is again shooting blank at the lawmaker and publisher of Telegraph Media Delyan Peevski. Following the tradition, they are firing blank rounds because no matter how much the indicted oligarch wants to quote damning facts about Peevski there are no such facts but only ludicrous gossips and backroom deals.

The Institute for Market Economics, whose chairperson is the product of communist nomenclature Krasen Stanchev, has provided an opinion piece in service of the oligarch Ivo Prokopiev’s interests for the attention of Capital Weekly. Actually, the piece is from three weeks ago, but Prokopiev’s people are only now discovering it.

Steam train puffs and whistles past the fields and whitewashed houses …

That was a refrain of a children’s song accompanying a game in which kids made a line imitating a passenger train. In a similar manner, just like kids, the fosterlings of oligarch Ivo Prokopiev lined up on imaginary rails of corruption to puff out the next in a row editorial review released in the latest issue of the Capital weekly.

It’s been sizzling hot in Bulgaria in recent days. The blistering temperatures seem to melt even stone but in air-conditioned and quiet editorial offices of the media outlets sustained by natural gas baron Sasho Donchev the staffers are broiling on a different fire. It’s August, but the turnover of fake news about the sworn enemy of the behind-the-scenes clique Delyan Peevski must be kept at high rate.
