Disinfo: Europe is close to legalising paedophilia

Summary

On June 20, a video recording of TV Channel TED’s educational programme was published. It focused on the following main points: – paedophiles are also human beings, this is not a crime, but sexual orientation -a paedophile cannot be held responsible for his/her feelings. He / she is not a criminal -we should respect others’ sexual orientation -we should not exasperate paedophiles’ pain by ridiculing, judging and persecuting them -we should see the difference between paedophilia and sexual violence against children. Violence is bad, paedophilia is good and normal -sexual violence against children is the result of the weakness of a paedophile’s delicate soul, as a paedophile cannot speak openly about his / her orientation. Permanent social pressure is added to this: it is difficult for a ”poor” paedophile to appear at the beach, as there are children there and they all wear bathing suits. -society is responsible for paedophiles’ sexual crime It seems that transformation from the stage of ”unimaginable” to ”an effective norm” with regard to paedophilia is going on extremely quickly in Europe.

Disinfo: Amesbury poisoning: a UK hate campaign against Russia

Hell was visited upon Russia by London officialdom, after the international hate campaign launched by the UK Government against our people and our country.

Disproof

The UK Home Secretary delivered a speech to the House of Commons providing an update on the Amesbury incident, highlighting that the UK demands answers from the Russian Government; "It is now time that the Russian state comes forward and explains exactly what has gone on so that the most appropriate course of action can be taken. Let me be clear, we do not have a quarrel with the Russian people. Rather, it is the actions of the Russian government that continue to undermine our security and that of the international community. We will stand up to actions that threaten our security and the security of our partners. It is completely unacceptable for our people to be either deliberate or accidental targets. Or for our streets, our parks or our towns to be dumping grounds for poison." Background Many competing and contradictory stories promulgated by Russian state-controlled media on the Skripal poisoning https://euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?text=sergei+skripal&disinfo_issue=&date= On Sunday 4 March Sergei and Yulia Skripal were poisoned in Salisbury with a military-grade nerve agent of a type developed by Russia. As for the scar on her throat, news outlets, including the BBC and Telegraph, have described it as a result of a tracheotomy, a surgical procedure which opens a hole in a person's windpipe to help them breathe. She did has not shared specifics of her treatment, but described it as "invasive, painful, and depressing." http://uk.businessinsider.com/skripal-poisoning-yulia-skripal-neck-scar-hints-at-painful-recovery-2018-5?r=US&IR=T For the UK response see: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/novichok-nerve-agent-use-in-salisbury-uk-government-response The OPCW have confirmed the UK findings in the case. "The results of the analysis by the OPCW designated laboratories of environmental and biomedical samples collected by the OPCW team confirm the findings of the United Kingdom relating to the identity of the toxic chemical that was used in Salisbury and severely injured three people." https://www.opcw.org/news/article/opcw-issues-report-on-technical-assistance-requested-by-the-united-kingdom/ On 4 July paramedics were called twice to a flat in Amesbury not far from Salisbury. Scientists at the UK's military research lab, Porton Down, found the couple had been exposed to the same nerve agent as the Skripals, Novichok. One of the victims passed away on 9 July.

Disinfo: EU defence industry fund will ruin defence industries of small states

The EU defence industry fund, which is to distribute 500 million Euro to defence industry initiatives in the years 2019-2020, was designed to benefit defence industries in Western Europe. Smaller countries such as the Czech Republic will not gain anything, and may even lose, from the fund.

Disproof

The statement is based on an interview with a Czech politician who speculates on the implementation of the fund. The declaratory title of the article is therefore misleading. For more information about the EU defence industry fund, see: www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20180628IPR06812/first-ever-eu-defence-industry-fund-to-finance-joint-development-of-capabilities,

Disinfo: Ukraine infected the Azov Sea with cholera

Cholera was found near the Ukrainian Azov sea port of Mariupol. According to a source, the officials of Mariupol have found cholera in the waters around Mariupol since 2017 but Ukrainian authorities ignore these findings, creating a potentially dangerous situation for neighbouring Russia.

Disproof

The World Health Organization Regional Office have informed that they have no data confirming the presence of cholera in Mariupol or the surrounding area. According to StopFake, the Health Ministry of Ukraine said that as of July 18, 2018 no cholera cases had been recorded in Ukraine and no cholera bacteria were found in the Donetsk area or any other region. The Ministry published a statement on its website debunking Russian cholera claims.
