Disinfo: Democrats are preparing to deprive White Americans of their right to vote

Summary

Democrats are preparing to deprive White Americans, which are considered “systemic racists”, of their right to vote. They will begin by depriving Southern White Americans of their right to vote and of a political party that represents them.

Disproof

The article combines recurrent disinformation narratives about the alleged victimisation of whites in American society, about the alleged hostility of the new democratic government against the American White population and against the fundamental values of the United States. It also alleges an intention of the Biden Administration to persecute or even annihilate Trump supporters by accusing them of being “white racists and terrorists.” These messages fit into a broader disinformation narrative about the imminent disintegration of the United States

The article’s claim that the Biden Administration is preparing to deprive White Americans of their constitutional right to vote is completely unfounded. The right to vote is granted by the Constitution of the United States and the Biden administration has adopted a policy aimed at defending and protecting the right to vote, fighting against barriers that may discriminate against any American citizen.

Moreover, it is not true, as the article suggests, that “systemic racism” is a term used to accuse America’s White population and Trump supporters and deprive them of their rights. The “systemic racism” concept has been widely debated in the US, and refers to “a system in which public policies, institutional practices, cultural representations, and other norms work in various, often reinforcing ways to perpetuate racial group inequity”. The concept advocates the need for social reform to reduce and eliminate racial injustice in America, not for accusing White people and attacking their constitutional rights.

Read similar cases claiming how as a result of the revolt in the US, pro-Trump whites are marked for political, economic, cultural if not physical extermination, that the Biden regime is illegitimate and anti-American and that the US establishment aims to destroy Trump supporters

Disinfo: Soros sponsors colour revolutions, revolts and coups d’état against the enemies of the Open Society

George Soros sponsors colour revolutions, revolts and coups d’ètat to strike at the enemies of the Open Society. His Open Society foundation is a cover for a global network that wants to subvert and control politics on a global scale.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory based on a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the philanthropist George Soros, presenting him as a person who aims to control political systems in many countries, by funding what they claim to be colour revolutions around the world.

George Soros is often targeted by the pro-Kremlin media with multiple conspiracy theories and disinformation, aiming to accuse him without evidence of destabilising governmentsattacking churches or actively conspiring on various fronts globally.

Disinfo: A violent coup d’état took place in Ukraine in 2014

A violent coup d’état, supported by the West and by nationalist groups, took place in Ukraine in 2014. Donetsk and Luhansk proclaimed independence because they feared repression against the Russian speaking population, which is a majority in these areas.

Disproof

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about Euromaidan and the war in Ukraine .

The peaceful protests, which broke out in Kyiv beginning is late 2013, were a spontaneous popular uprising in response to a change in the policies of the then government led by Viktor Yanukovych.

Disinfo: The US and their NATO allies are turning Ukraine into a "powder keg"

The (military) deliveries went on, they continue. The volume of this aid is increasing. The US and other NATO countries are deliberately turning Ukraine into a "powder keg." For many years on the territory of Ukraine training events have been taking place with the participation of advisers, instructors, dozens and hundreds of those working at different training grounds, and objects are being created that have a direct and negative relation to the security of Russia.

Disproof

This is a recurring disinformation narrative that claims the West is providing military assistance to Ukraine to prepare for a war with Russia. It is also an attempt to divert attention from Russian actions and large movements of Russian military forces near the Ukrainian border. Both the US and NATO have described Moscow's military deployment on along the border as larger than at any point since 2014.

There is no presence of NATO or US forces in the Donbas war zone. NATO experts, who are stationed in Ukraine, for instance, help the country's Armed Forces with the military reform. Sometimes NATO troops engage in joint military exercises with the Ukrainian military.
