DISINFO: Olympic opening ceremony was a mockery of Christianity and a sign of the decadent West's decay

SUMMARY

The gruesome and provocative details of the opening of the Olympic Games in Paris were no joke or coincidence. The "rejection of the sacred" was a deliberate action to corrode the identity of Europeans.

In addition, "two bearded men surprised the audience": one of the two was "supposedly the god Dionysus, but looked more like a Scythian Smurf", the other was "either a man in drag or a woman with a fake beard". At one point, the programme directors showed a group of defiantly dressed people apparently re-enacting Leonardo da Vinci's painting 'The Last Supper'".

According to experts, the opening ceremony of the Games in Paris was logical in some ways: it reflected echoes of [...] the moral decay of the West.

The ideologues of the Olympic Games wanted to get to the heart of the matter. In this case, it is about violating and overthrowing the most important symbols of the Christian faith. The Olympics, with splashes of blood from the Conciergerie, a semi-pagan coven of witches and the Horseman of the Apocalypse at the end, was a rejection of everything sacred for the sake of spectacle, which delighted Macron.

RESPONSE

A recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about the morally corrupt West.

The Last Supper did not inspire the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games 2024 in Paris.

"It's not my inspiration (the Christian Supper). There is Dionysus (Philippe Katerine painted in blue) who arrives on this table. He is there because he is the God of celebration in Greek mythology. The god of wine who is one of the jewels of France. And the father of Sequana, the goddess who is connected to the river, the Seine. The idea was to have a pagan celebration connected to the gods of Olympus. You will never find in me a desire to mock and denigrate anyone. I wanted to make a ceremony that repairs, that reconciles. And also that reaffirms the values ​​of our Republic, liberty-equality-fraternity", - says the director of the ceremony.

The narrative of the West mocking Christianity on every occasion is recurrent in pro-Kremlin disinformation efforts. See more recurrent pro-Kremlin narratives portraying the West as morally corrupt, pagan, Satanist, deranged, vile who have lost all common sense, pushing LGBTIQ propaganda.
