In the 1930’s an American President said, we have nothing to fear but fear itself.

In 2025 capitalist states seem bent on stoking up fear within their populations for their own ends.

In the SOYMB post of 27 March, War Psychosis, we wrote, ‘Do you see a trend here? In the first piece the EU Commissioner for Crisis Management is quoted as saying, ’We want people to be ready, not to panic’…The European Union has advised its 450 million inhabitants to stockpile essential supplies sufficient for at least 72 hours, citing increasing risks of war, cyberattacks, climate change, and disease.’

Now , in the MailOnline 6 April, we find, Brits should prepare a 72 hour ‘survival kit’ as Putin plots to sabotage gas pipelines and cause mass blackouts, warn spies.’ ‘Fears of a plot by Russia to sabotage Britain’s energy pipelines means families should pack a 72-hour ‘survival kit’, security advisers have warned’.

Did the MailOnline means to publish this on April Fool’s Day? Among the items suggested as being necessary are a Swiss army knife and identity documents. We should, of course, take all this this very very seriously because the ‘information’ that this is an event likely to occur at some unspecified time in the future are ‘spies’ and ‘security advisers’.

In Germany the indoctrination of fear is being ramped up amongst the adult population and amongst children. The denials emanating from Russia that there have no intention of invading Europe appear not to holding any sway over Western ‘leaders’ who seem intent on provoking a conflict with Russia. A conflict that would have serious consequences for the whole world. In a capitalist system there is, of course, no guarantee that what any state says today will hold true tomorrow. The American administration under Trump has already, in a short space of time, shown that. Present events taking place in the world demonstrate how unsafe the planet is and it would not be a conspiracy theory to suppose that the rapacious drive of capitalism for the exploitation of more and more resources and the wage earning class in pursuit of more and more profit will inevitably lead to more and more serious conflicts.

 What next Germany, the reintroduction of the Deutsches Jungvolk and Hitlerjugend? Is the European Union going to introduce the American ‘Duck and Cover’ drill for children?

‘The German Interior Ministry is advising schools to prepare children for crises and war, the Handelsblatt newspaper reported citing a ministry spokesperson.

A raft of calls for “civic readiness” have been made by Western European governments since US president Donald Trump took office and the beginning of US-brokered Ukraine peace talks, described by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock as “deadlocked.”.

“Given the recent developments in the security situation, a greater focus should be placed on civil defence, including in school education,” an interior ministry spokesperson told Handelsblatt.

According to the outlet, a Russian attack on NATO territory “in four to seven years” is considered “a realistic scenario” by German military, the Bundeswehr.

Schoolchildren should be “prepared for the worst,” crisis response training should be introduced into school curricula, and emergency supplies should be stored in every home, the German ministry spokesperson reportedly proposed.

Moscow has repeatedly rubbished the claim it could attack a NATO country, since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict three years ago. However such “civic readiness’ calls have been made across the EU and in the UK in the last week.

The European Commission has recently recommended that EU citizens stockpile essential supplies, including food and water, to sustain themselves for at least three days in case of emergencies.

Poland and Norway have reinstated Cold-War-era measures such as bomb shelters and bunkers and mass military training. Sweden and Finland already have guides available to citizens on how to respond if they come under attack.’
