Exchange on the Schiller Institute Between Mazzoni and Follower

U.S.-based Italian journalist Roberto Mazzoni, who reported about the International Peace Coalition meeting in his “Mazzoni News” podcast, gave an exemplary answer to a follower, “Turi,” who asked whether the Schiller Institute is right wing and anti-Semitic. Here is the exchange:

“Turi”: I see with interest all the videos posted on the site and enjoy sharing your accurate analysis with others. I was not familiar with the Schiller Institute; from a quick online search, according to The Independent, it is an extremist political think tank linked to a right-wing conspiracy theorist, Lyndon LaRouche. According to The Times, LaRouche’s goal is to propagate anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. From your description of the Institute in the video, this does not shine through.

Are the criticisms made by these two newspapers reliable? Thank you.

Roberto Mazzoni: Today the classic accusation levelled against anyone who opposes the official propaganda line is to be anti-Semitic and far-right, so this only confirms to me the reliability of the Schiller Institute. The Independent and The Times are typical propaganda channels of British intelligence; I wouldn’t even read them to get weather reports or obituaries. The Schiller Institute may have its occult motives for what it does, and I have no way of verifying them, however it has only functioned here as a rallying point for some people who have proven themselves trustworthy and honest over a long period of time, and who have often been attacked for going against the mainstream and giving up their careers to do so. The content would have been the same if it had been published on another channel. I’ve seen the Schiller Institute engaged in other peace activities in the past and that’s enough for me, I’ve never seen anti-Semitic content, although I haven’t thoroughly examined all of their content, but then again, today anything disagreeable to the powers that be is considered anti-Semitic, even what is said by Jews themselves.

“Turi”: Thank you for your reply.
