Sun in the sunlight

One of the most surprising and inexplicable things in this world is the infinite power of propaganda.

This can be understood in closed societies. It could be understood 100 years ago, when information was controlled. But today, when information and knowledge have been democratized in every corner of the planet, this remains a great mystery.

Look what happens! The Prime Minister of Albania comes out and says we have invented the first in the world, a software that will manage all tenders. This is now picked up and becomes news in all Albanian media, but also in the largest media in the world.

The level of collective imbecility reaches its peak when the BBC chronicles that the British government should copy Albania and introduce artificial intelligence into procurement procedures.

No one asks some very simple questions.

How advanced is Albania in information technology?

What level of innovation does the Albanian economy have?

How is it possible that America didn't invent this software and eradicate corruption in tenders and governance?

How is it possible that Mirlinda of AKSHI, who is the only executive in the world who extracted all the data of her citizens in the marketplace of living things, brought Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Sam Altman, etc., to their knees?

How is it possible that Edi Rama's Albania, which cannot even produce pens and matches, manages to make the greatest invention of the century by solving the biggest governance problem in the world?

And last but not least. Can one of Europe's most corrupt governments invent the cure for corruption?

Nobody asks these questions. Because we have turned these foreign media into idols. But this is the level they have too. It's not like they come from Mars.

Now, this story of Diella is very simple. The first was thrown for propaganda, so that the government and the prime minister could grab some headlines in the world media. The second and most important, it has a big tail behind it.

It's a project worth around 180 million euros, which is being negotiated with the World Bank and the European Union for investments in IT. Until some time ago, Myzyri of the KPP had negotiated it, but after SPAK took it over and put it in the closet, it got stuck for a while.

That's why this is being done. They'll shave off those 180 million euros. And in the end, another question arises.

Linda from AKSHI, what does she do best?

To invent things that amaze the world or to save money?

Because the chef only cooks the dish he knows how to make. And he only knows how to make this second dish well.

To believe that an institution where people are being held hostage is the invention of the century, this is the extraordinary power of propaganda.
