Disinfo: The West wants to play the role of Human Rights supervisor to distract attention from its problems

Summary

The ambition of the Western countries to play a role of an international supervisor and a world mentor in the situation with Human Rights in other countries looks like a deliberate tactic carried out to distract attention from their own problems. The violations of Human Rights in Poland, Lithuania, Czechia and many other European countries can be presented for hours.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the intense violation of Human Rights in the West – it promotes the idea that Western countries do not have any position or moral right to criticise Russia, China and other states for the situation with Human Rights.

The claim that the Western countries play the role of an 'international supervisor' in the sphere of Human Rights in order to distract attention from their own problems is untrue.

The situation with Human Rights in the EU and the USA appears on a fundamentally better level than in countries such as China, Russia or Belarus (actively criticising the West for its efforts to protect Human Rights worldwide).

See similar cases accusing Eastern and Central European countries of the violation of Human Rights: Lithuania is a totalitarian country; The Polish authoritarian state may brutally attack any of its citizens for his views and opinions and The Czech Republic has violated Human Rights and international conventions by handing over alleged hacker Evgenij Nikulin to the US.

Disinfo: Trump's defeat in the 2020 presidential elections was the result of a conspiracy of globalist elites against the majority of Americans

Trump's defeat in the 2020 presidential elections was the result of a conspiracy of globalist elites against the majority of Americans. These globalist elites hold power in the US and have done everything possible to prevent Trump from serving a second term as US president.

Conspiracy theory presented without evidence. This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about global elites secretly ruling the world, and is consistent with the claim that there exists a ‘Deep State’ in the United States.

The article’s claims are also consistent with recurrent pro-Kremlin narratives that aim to question the legitimacy of liberal democracy and Western institutions and that seek to delegitimise the conduct and results of the 2020 US presidential election.

Disinfo: The US élite was behind the 9/11 attack and the assassination of John F. Kennedy

The US élite was behind the 9/11 attack and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. These are just some examples of a long series of secret conspiracies of the US élite.

Disproof

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative presented without evidence about global elites secretly ruling the world. The article’s claim is also consistent with the conspiracy about the so-called Deep State in the United States, which is allegedly a permanent, unelected shadow government responsible for numerous historical events, including the assassination of President John. F. Kennedy on 22 November 1963 and the 9/11 2001 terrorist attacks.

No serious evidence has come to light supporting the theory that President Kennedy was assassinated as a result of a US élite conspiracy, though conspiracy theories about the assassination are abound.

Disinfo: An anti-constitutional coup takes place in Ukraine

A creeping anti-constitutional coup takes place in Ukraine today. We know how independent the current president of Ukraine is and his actions, first to ban television channels, and now to ban one of the leading Ukrainian oligarchs, are an indicator of his power. But everything is exactly the opposite. He was ordered to go beyond constitutional norms.

This is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Ukraine and the Ukrainian statehood.

There is no coup in Ukraine. The decision to impose sanctions against several individuals and legal entities, including Victor Medvedchuk, one of the leading pro-Kremlin politicians of Ukraine, was taken by the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine and signed by President Volodymyr Zelensky. This decision was based on the data that these people either finance or trade with the so-called LNR and DNR.
