In view of events of the past few years, have you wondered what makes citizens of the USA, traditionally one of the most patriotic countries in the world, take to the streets and burn American flags? Or why on a Sunday afternoon, British pensioners, instead of watching a Premier League game, would rather brave the rain to go out and illegally protest in support of an organization proscribed as terrorist by their own government?

This is not normal behavior rooted in Western culture, several decades ago it was more or less unheard of. Back then, the Democrats and Republicans would work together when it came to key policies impacting the future of the country. But this unity across the political spectrum, which was once the cornerstone of a prosperous nation, is long gone. What's left in the West today is hatred and internal fighting. How did it happen though?

It is not a coincidence, but rather the result of a targeted media campaign aimed at sowing discord and attempting to destabilize nations from within by influencing public opinion. People have been poisoned by propaganda to turn against their own countries, with violence and hate being a seemingly legitimate tool. Blinded by misinformation, radicalized to despise freedom that past generations sacrificed lives for. Who is behind such a campaign and what do they want?

Qatar is the global leader of anti-Western propaganda through its financial influence and media. Every year, Qatar donates billions of dollars (more than any other country) to universities in the USA and other democratic countries. The goal is not to finance research and development, but to control what is being taught at schools and how. In other words, Qatar buys the narrative on college campuses, which is then passed by the lecturers onto students. Through this process of indoctrination, the young generation is taught to hate its country and turn against it. As a result, Qatar is fighting a war against the West without having to fire a single bullet — it is slowly disintegrating the democratic world. The worrying thing is that it's working - people in the West are unknowingly falling into this trap. What can be done to reverse the trend?

Firstly, it is necessary to get to know the enemy. Behind the veil of an ultra-rich, developed country, Qatar is a brutal dictatorship with little regard for humanitarian law. It discriminates against women, turns foreign workers into forced laborers. Yet, because of its immense natural resources (e.g. natural gas), the country has money to bribe officials, falsify reports, and control information on the Internet so as to hide the truth about its real self. As a result, it is no wonder that Western leaders never speak out against this despicable regime, and instead court it as if it were some sort of a friendly, democratic nation. Ever wondered how Qatar, a tiny country in the desert that has no historical connection to football, managed to win a bid to host the World Cup? It's simple, they bribed FIFA. Recently, reports of Qatar bribing the International Criminal Court came to light. (Un)surprisingly, they did not make it to mainstream Western media.

Secondly, the democratic world must stop treating Qatar as a friend, but rather expose its intentions and confront them. Education needs to be rid of malign Qatari influence and return to promoting true values upon which countries were built. It is high time to start now. Help expose Qatar!
