The “Message Control”: that was the control and congestion method for the Austrian public during the era of Sebastian Kurz. And now the man who invented this democratically questionable influencing instrument, who was feared as an intervention in newspaper editor, is writing a whole book about the threat to liberal democracy? But it is so. Gerald Fleischmann, who served Sebastian Kurz as a young politician and then as a chancellor, who then moved to the ÖVP headquarters and works there as a communication consultant for Chancellor Karl Nehammer and now for the new ÖVP chairman Christian Stocker; which is considered by many with distrust and also dislike as a spind doctor and manipulation guru, has written an almost 400-page treatise on “how left-wing and right-wing extremists, autocrats and Islamists undermine democracy” (according to the subtitle). The whole is called The codes of the extremists – what governments know about it And is a summary of information, some of which consist of many more or less publicly accessible sources and publications, but sometimes also from episodes that Gerald Fleischmann moved to power.
