Disinfo: Liberal-globalism totalitarian ideology dominates the world, shared by all of the world's élites

Summary

Liberal-globalism is a totalitarian ideology that today dominates the world. Liberal globalism is an ideological dictatorship shared by all of the world’s élites and imposed upon the people. Liberal globalist domination is increasingly strong all over the world. Politics, culture, education, art, ideology: everything is under the control of liberalism, which does not tolerate any alternative points of view. Any alternative to liberalism is labeled “extremism”, is considered the “enemy” and is eliminated.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory. Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative that seeks to discredit liberalism claiming that liberal societies are totalitarian systems ruled by “globalist elites” and “shadow governments”. Liberalism is a political doctrine based on liberty, consent of the governed, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), and equality before the law. Liberal societies do not suppress alternative points of view but are based on pluralism, a political philosophy which recognises and affirms diversity within a political body, and which permits the peaceful coexistence of different interests, convictions, and lifestyles. Read similar cases stating that liberalism leads to the total loss of national sovereignty and to world government and that the West’s open societies are totalitarian dictatorships masked as democracies and they are “modern” and “liberal” concentration camps.

Disinfo: American authorities intentionally terminated the INF treaty, Russia not at fault

American authorities intentionally terminated the INF treaty under the pretext that Russia violated the agreement. However, Moscow rejects all allegations. The test of the forbidden rocket proves that the Americans sought to terminate the agreement. So, Americans deliberately failed the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that the US is entirely responsible for the demise of the INF treaty. Russia bears primary responsibility for the end of the INF Treaty, because it has produced, tested and deployed the 9M729 missile, which violates the agreement. In July 2014, the then-US President Obama officially accused Russia of testing a missile in violation of the INF Treaty, which prohibits the US or Russia from possessing, producing or test-flying ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with a range of between 500 and 5500 kilometres. In a joint statement released after the meeting held at NATO Headquarters in Brussels on Tuesday 4 and Wednesday 5 December 2018, NATO Foreign Ministers stated that “Allies have concluded that Russia has developed and fielded a missile system, the 9M729, which violates the INF Treaty and poses significant risks to Euro-Atlantic security." US and NATO have repeatedly engaged with Russia to preserve the INF treaty. For background on pro-Kremlin myths on the INF Treaty see here.

Disinfo: WADA decision against Russia is an unfounded punishment

[The recommendations of] the International Anti-Doping Agency “Wada” [are] a cruel and unfounded punishment for old problems that Russia was already punished for. The agency denied a whole generation [from participating] as a result of old mistakes by some individuals.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory, consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the World Anti-Doping Agency and the denial of state-sponsored doping scheme of Russian athletes.

The unanimous decision by WADA's Executive Committee was made after Russia's Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) was declared uncompliant with the World Anti-Doping Code (Code) – the document harmonising anti-doping policies in all sports and in all countries.

Disinfo: Ukrainian statehood was born from the Maidan and is weak

The point is not that Zelenskyy is weak, but that Ukrainian independence and statehood are weak. The current Ukrainian statehood was born from the Maidan and it will die because of the Maidan with a high degree of probability.

Disproof

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin narrative, challenging Ukrainian statehood and Euromaidan. Ukraine is recognised in international law as a sovereign nation-state, with its own flag, nationality, language and with a democratically-elected president and parliament. Ukraine is not controlled by any foreign government, while its sovereignty and territorial integrity are respected by most of the free world but were violated by Russia in 2014. The EU works closely with Ukraine and supports the democratic development of Ukraine in accordance with the UN Charter’s principles of non-interference into internal affairs and respect towards territorial integrity and political independence. The history of Ukraine dates back to the times of the Kyivan Rus’ in the 9th-13th centuries. See earlier disinformation cases claiming that Ukraine is an anti-Russian state under Western control, that Ukraine has become a vassal of Germany and Ukraine is under US control.
