Disproof

Disinformation campaign around the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

The German government dismissed Alyaksandr Lukashenka’s statement about intercepted conversation refuting Navalny's poisoning as being untrue. An official representative of the German government told RBC: “Of course, the statement of Alyaksandr Lukashenka does not correspond to reality.”

The Polish Foreign Ministry also rejected reports by the Belarusian authorities about an alleged telephone conversation between subscribers in Warsaw and Berlin regarding the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. In response to an inquiry by the Russian TASS agency, the Polish Foreign Ministry stated on September 7:" “We refute the Belarusian reports about the alleged telephone conversation on the Warsaw-Berlin line, in which the authorities of the two countries allegedly admitted that Alexei Navalny was not poisoned".

Warsaw and Vilnius trying to turn the Belarusian protests into a civic conflict

The Belarusian protests are managed from Poland and incited from Lithuania. Their aim is to turn the crisis into a civic conflict. Their ambassadors should be withdrawn from Belarus.

Disproof

This publication promotes recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Belarus protests as being organised and controlled from abroad, particularly from Poland and Lithuania, and as West's attempt to organise a colour revolution.

There is no evidence that Poland, the Baltic states or any other Western governments are involved in any way in the protests in Belarus. Large-scale protests began in Minsk on August 9 against the results of the presidential election, and then in other cities. People revolted against election fraud and police violence towards thousands of rally participants.

Poland and Lithuania are destabilising Belarus to turn it into a Russophobic limitrophe

Poland is coordinating Belarusian protests through the internet, whereas Lithuania creates organisational structures for Belarusian opposition. The goals of the Baltic states and Poland is to bring their pupils to power. Poland and Lithuania wish to take the whole or part of Belarus under their control. To get Belarus under complete control, they need a full-fledged colour revolution with the replacement of elites, change of economic model, ideology, historical memory and geopolitical alliances. In this case, Belarus will turn into a Russophobic limitrophe. Poland, Lithuania and Latvia will become Belarus’s curators with EU and US indulgence.

9/11 was no terrorist attack, the US government is behind this tragedy

The results of the official investigation, which were fabricated, are just a small part of the “evidence” found in the “most credible” investigation of the 9/11 tragedy. But this is quite enough to understand by what methods the United States is moving towards its goals, having killed more than three thousand Americans.
