Disinfo: Mainstream media hide the truth on migration crisis in Canada

Summary

On the morning on January 21 2019, at least 13 people crossed the border illegally into Canada in only two hours. Mainstream media did not report about this; only alternative media dare telling the truth.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation on fluxes of migrants. No evidence provided for the alleged border crossing. The narrative of the "mainstream media hiding the truth" is a popular conspiracy theory consistent with pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives attacking and discrediting Western media, for examples see here and here.

“Yellow Vests” are Trump’s instrument to fight the Rotschilds

The Yellow Vest movement was instigated by US President Donald Trump to force France to leave the Paris Agreement. Trump wants to dismiss the entire agreement, which is a brainchild of the Rotschild bankers. Trump has at several occasions publicly expressed sympathy with the Yellow Vests. The Yellow Vest is following the same pattern as the “Colour Revolutions”, supported by the US in Eastern Europe.

Macron got the job as President of France by the Rotschilds, who use the myth about Global Warming to forward their own pecuniary interests

Disproof

Conspiracy theory with anti-semitic overtones.

No evidence is given; the source in the article, a member of the influential Russian Izborsk Club, is lining up a plethora of traditional unfounded claims; using hearsay and innuendo to create an image of the President of France as an instrument of powerful financial circles; in this case, the Rotschild family. The fable of the omnipotent Rotschilds is a classic anti-semitic myth with roots in Medieval Europe, currently frequently employed by mainstream Russian media.

The Ukrainian navy violated Russian borders in the Azov Sea

On 25 November 2018, three ships of the Ukrainian Navy crossed Russia’s state border in violation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.The ships entered the temporarily closed area of the Russian territorial waters, carried out dangerous manoeuvres there for hours and defied all demands of the Russian coastguard.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about Ukraine violating Russian territorial integrity in the Sea of Azov. The use of the Kerch strait and the Sea of Azov is regulated by a bilateral treaty between Russia and Ukraine, signed in 2003 and ratified by Russia in 2004. According to the document, the Sea of Azov is considered to be the “internal waters” of both Russia and Ukraine.

On November 25 border patrol boats belonging to Russia’s FSB security service seized two small Ukrainian armoured artillery vessels and a tug boat and their crews after opening fire at them, wounding several Ukrainian servicemen.

It’s not a coincidence that a nurse was near the Skripals

It is an extremely unlikely coincidence that the first person who ‘by chance’ attended to the Skripals was the top nurse of the British army. An experienced officer, highly connected, who is also known for handling highly infectious patients. Someone wrote the script for this enthralling saga.

This is one of the many, many ‘coincidences’, curiosities and lies that make the official Skripal poisoning narrative so unbelievable.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative.

The disinformation message was communicated as a series of rhetorical questions, implying UK government conspiracy behind the Skripal case. This is  often-used method of applying a pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the Salisbury poisoning. Also see here.
