Disinfo: In Ukraine, pensioners freeze without Russian gas

Summary

The Ukrainian authorities say that they do not need Russian gas. But in reality, Ukrainian pensioners freeze, because they were left without heating on the eve of winter.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative claiming that Ukraine will not survive without Russian gas and that it is necessary to conclude a contract with Gazprom.

By the beginning of winter 2019, the underground storage facilities of Ukrtransgaz (the service company which belongs to Naftogaz of Ukraine) had accumulated 20 billion cubic metres of gas. This indicator is the highest Ukrainian gas reserves for nine years.

As of 5 November 2019, in Ukraine, 88.9% of housing facilities and 92.8% of social facilities were connected to heating. The availability of heating at the remaining facilities continues as normal.

In November 2015, Kyiv refusedto purchase gas for the state’s needs from the Russian monopoly Gazprom. At the moment, all the gas used by Ukraine is acquired exclusively on its Western borders. See previous cases about gas and Ukraine here.

Disinfo: Trump made a deal with the Queen and the Rothschilds: end of paedophilia case in exchange for second presidential term

Given that George Soros declared war against Donald Trump in 2016, an attempt to impeach the latter was apparently sanctioned by the Rothschilds. Although they do not threaten him directly, Trump’s actions are constrained. This also suits the agreements reached between the Queen of the United Kingdom and Trump during his visit to London in June. The White House ends the investigation into links between a paedophile lobby and the US Democrats in exchange for a green light for a second presidential term. This is why instead of coherently struggling against the Democrats, Trump is attacking Joe Biden. The latter, though very corrupt, is not linked to paedophilia, unlike the Clintons.

This article puts forward a number of unfounded claims and conspiracies and contains recurring propaganda pro-Kremlin narratives about all-mighty secret elites and deep state. See earlier disinformation cases alleging that Skripal case was invented to cover up paedophilia scandals in the UK, that all high-ranking politicians in the Baltic states are likely implicated in paedophilia, and that the Holocaust was instigated by the evil Rothschilds for creating their own nation state. A collection of earlier paedophilia-related disinformation cases can be seen here.

Disinfo: Macron is a mouthpiece of the Rothschilds, whereas Europe is a puppet of the US and Vatican

Emmanuel Macron’s recent interview to The Economist does not contain his personal beliefs but rather the views of the Rothschild’s oligarchic clan. The thing is Macron has Rothschild political origins, plus The Economist is a mouthpiece of the Rothschilds.

The authors of Emmanuel Macron’s recent interview to The Economist hope for Russia’s “balanced cooperation” with Europe. They want Vladimir Putin to stop counteracting NATO’s enlargement. Apparently, they want Russia to surrender in Donbas, Crimea, and elsewhere. Russia’s real interests are drifting away from Europe’s. Europe is Eurasia’s geopolitical appendix and a puppet of Washington, shadow circles of the Anglo-Saxons and the Vatican.

This article is based on conspiracy theories about the Rothschilds' secret influence over international media and EU politicians, and about the EU being under control of the US, the so called Anglo-Saxon world, and the Vatican. It adheres to frequent propagandistic pro-Kremlin narratives about lost sovereignty and some kind of superior government led by powerful financial circles who control the world's political agenda. The referral to "The Rotschilds" is a well-known Anti-Semitic trope.

See earlier disinformation cases about the Rothschild family, including ones alleging that the Rothschild family “made” Emmanuel Macron and that Angela Merkel represents the interest of the Rothschild family. See also earlier cases alleging that Europe is occupied by the US and has limited sovereignty and that the EU is directed by Washington.

Disinfo: Western countries imagine malicious Russian actions, like Novichok, because they do not have many things to do

The current world follows the principle “Russians are everywhere.” However, in reality, the Russians have a lot of things to do domestically given the large size of the country. Small Western countries do not have much to do, so they imagine things. They imagine Novichok, election meddling and even recruitment of the American president. If Donald Trump was the Kremlin’s agent, he would use a malicious virus to destroy the system to manage the US’s nuclear capability to make the US surrender within half an hour.

This is an example of the recurring pro-Kremlin propaganda narrative about ubiquitous Russophobia in the Western countries, which denies Russia's meddling in foreign elections and its involvement in the poisoning of the Skripals despite strong evidence of both. For background, read our analysis: The “Russophobia” Myth: Appealing to the Lowest Feelings. See earlier disinformation cases alleging that there is no evidence of Russian attempts to influence the 2019 EU elections, that no evidence exists of Russia’s guilt in the Skripals' poisoning, and that the Intelligence Committee’s report found no evidence of Russian intervention in the US elections.
