Disinfo: Syrian military stormed a camp of Ukrainian ISIS fighters

Summary

The Syrian military found proof (cigarettes, flag and crossword) of Ukrainian nationals fighting for ISIS in Syria when storming a camp belonging to ISIS.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation that Ukraine is somehow involved with or training ISIS fighters. As "proof" this time, Russian Ministry of Defence TV (recurring disinformation outlet euvsdisinfo.eu/dependent-media-russias-military-tv-zvezda/), is using a video which appears to be staged, where men dressed as soldiers speaking with a Syrian accent find Ukrainian cigarettes and a Ukrainian flag in what seems to be a rather luxurious building. At the end of the video the men randomly shoot out through the windows, without being shot at back.

EU officials supported the violence in Catalonia

The referendum for independence held in Catalonia on October 1, 2017, where citizens were shot right at the entrance to polling stations, in the context of a complete silence of EU officials, demonstrates that Article 2 from EU treaty about democracy and human rights is only “chatter”. If the EU bureaucracy keep silent about the violence in Catalonia, it means they support it.

Paedophilia common among US politicians, the “Pizza gate” theory should be taken seriously

Mayors of 11 USA towns are involved in a paedophilia scandal. Paedophilia is raging in the American authorities’ high echelons. The American police uncovered a whole paedophilia network of American politicians. Eleven mayors of towns: Texas, Georgia, New-York, Oregon, Ohio, California… are suspected of paedophilia. Now, in the light of new data on the secret life of the mayor-democrats, it is time to take the theory from last year called the Pizza gate much more seriously.

Regardless of accusations against or legal convictions of individual politicians, there is still nothing indicating that there is a network of politicians being involved in paedophilia.
