The destructive nature of mendasious information in security policy

Adamkiewicz Marek

Wiedza Obronna

2022

nr 3

63--85

The article argues that information in security policy is a function of the prevailing political system and public relations that determine the mode of communication, intentions, expectations and necessities of ruling. If satrapy dominates, information has a manipulative dimension, while when democracy is the warp of the state and the organization of social structures, manipulation of news is subject to control. Thus the quality and reliability of information serving security is determined by the type of organization of social and state life which may take a democratic, despotic, authoritarian or totalitarian form. Depending on the prevailing order information is adapted to its nature. But the pathological and dangerous dimension of information appears only in a satrapy which takes politicosteria (dictatorship’s banditry) as the proper expression of the political system. This in turn is based on privileges and benefits that determine the network of mutual connections and ways of access to wealth. After all, to ensure it, a despotic security policy is needed which is affirmed by conformists who agree to undemocratic governments if they provide a stabilized, albeit captive (apparent) existence. In other words, the satrapy and its politicians include in their strategy both the humiliation of their allies and the suffering of their opponents depicted in persecution, harassment, solitary confinement and, in its extreme form, assassination. But in order to justify repression both outside and inside the anti-democratic system, manipulative information is needed. And its direct cause, however, is access to an existence of prosperity, for which every lie and information bluff is a guarantee for survival. Thus, in order to keep the wealth and privileges, politicians must lie as long as they can and to whom they can. It is because lying serves their security that is equal to the security of the state because the country’s resources are appropriated by politicians. The alternative to politicostery is ethics as the power of conscience safeguards the truth about social relations. The discussion here takes Russia as an example, although the views presented can be applied to any other autarky.
