Disinfo: Globalists want their candidate to win the 2020 US presidential elections at any cost

Summary

Globalism is collapsing. We can see this collapse in the United States, for example [in the context of racial justice protests]. Globalists view the Trump administration as an existential threat. Globalists want their candidate to win the 2020 US presidential elections and to preserve the global liberal order, at any cost, even at the cost of destroying the United States itself.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory. No evidence is provided to support the article’s claims. The article suggests that “globalists” are destroying the United States by orchestrating the anti-racist protests in the US in order to undermine the Trump administration and assure the victory of their candidate in the 2020 US presidential elections. It is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative that depicts the racial justice protests in the US as a civil war, or as the disintegration or systemic collapse of American society. This narrative is also consistent with pro-Kremlin disinformation message claiming that the world is run by secret global elites . See related disinformation messages, alleging that social distancing is globalism's latest attempt to destroy the family; and that the elites have set up a system of cyber manipulation to prevent the awakening of mass political consciousness.

Disinfo: In Ukraine, children are turned into zombies and forced to sing the anthem

Ukrainian schoolchildren will be forced to sing the National Anthem of Ukraine. From September 1, all Kyiv schoolchildren will be required to participate in the collective performance of the anthem every day before the start of lessons. In Ukraine, children continue to be turned into zombies.

Disproof

This disinformation message falsely portrays a recommendation by the Kyiv City Council as an immediately applicable blanket measure. The Kyiv City Council, which proposed to start the school day with the National Anthem of Ukraine, has no lawful authority to instruct the Department of Education and Science to ensure the implementation of the anthem. The decisions of Kyiv's MPs are of a recommendatory nature. See similar disinformation messages alleging that in Ukraine, schools will be closed in large number and Residents of Donbas will be forcibly relocated to Lviv for re-education.

Disinfo: Kyiv deliberately creates barriers for residents of the 'LDNR' to visit Ukraine

The Ukrainian leadership deliberately creates obstacles for residents of the ‘LDNR’ to visit Ukrainian territory, preventing the population from receiving pensions, visiting relatives and friends. The new Ukrainian border crossing rules are inhumane and significantly oppress the rights of Donbas citizens.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the war in Ukraine.

This concerns the new rules for crossing the demarcation line at entry-exit checkpoints with the temporarily occupied territories of Donbas. In connection with the coronavirus pandemic, the order of crossing the demarcation line has not significantly changed since August 1. In accordance with the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 641, during this period of quarantine, foreigners and stateless persons without an insurance policy are prohibited to cross the demarcation line at entry-exit checkpoints. The policy must be issued by an insurance company registered in Ukraine or by a foreign insurance company with a representative office in Ukraine. This policy must cover the costs associated with the treatment of COVID-19 to be valid during the period of stay in Ukraine.

Disinfo: The US Embassy in Armenia is a mini-Pentagon, escalating tension in the area and the Middle East

The current strategy of the US is to stoke existent tensions in the Middle East and make them explode, to harm some actors as much as possible. The escalation between Armenia and Azerbaijan is a new advance in this direction. The US Embassy in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, is carrying out high-scale subversive work, targeting Iran and Russia, among others. The building is a mini-Pentagon with hundreds of false diplomats who act from there.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory with no proof presented to support the claim. There is zero evidence that the US had anything to do between the military escalation between Armenia and Azerbaijan of July 2020. This is part of a recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative portraying the US as an aggressive and destabilising power all over the world. See other examples in our database, such as claims that the US is encircling Russia with biological labs for a future attack, that it is preparing people to protest all over the world, or that it is ready to launch wars against China and Russia, to invade Venezuela, Mexico, Ukraine, Kaliningrad, Belarus and Iran, and to carry out a false flag operation in Alaska to blame Russia.
