Disinfo: Liberalism is a crime against humanity

Summary

Liberalism is a crime against humanity. Today liberals increasingly fuel civil wars, social injustice, occupations, colonisation, de-humanisation. To be a liberal means to be sub-human, a sick and perverse creature, a criminal. Like liberalism, communism and fascism were also totalitarian regimes. But while communism and fascism belong to the past, liberalism is a real danger, a criminal world order that is still in place.

Disproof

Conspiracy theory. No evidence is provided to support the article’s claims. This message is consistent with the recurring pro-Kremlin narrative that seeks to discredit liberalism claiming that the West’s liberal societies are totalitarian regimes ruled by “globalist elites” and “shadow governments” and that the liberal West and “globalist élites” are responsible for violent upheavals, military interventions, wars, anarchy and chaos throughout the world. The article also repeats the pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the moral decadence of the West, materialism, perverted values and hostility to traditional values and religion. Read a similar case claiming that the satanic and criminal political elite of the West leads their society through perversion, abomination, sodomy, destruction and that the West’s open societies are totalitarian dictatorships masked as democracies and are “modern” and “liberal” concentration camps.

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.
