Disinfo: UK-led Deep State failed in Kazakhstan due to Russian ultimatum

Summary

Back in 1891, a secret “Round Table” community came into existence aiming to create the worldwide British empire. They started WWI, brought Hitler to power, and created the financial apparatus of the the London-led Deep State and its security services.

Over time, the Deep State broke up the USSR by helping Khrushchev and Gorbachev to come to power. Following the USSR collapse, their main goal became to disintegrate Russia. MI6 head Powell, de facto the head of Deep State’s intelligence service, planned a Libyan scenario in Kazakhstan for spring 2022. However, Ryabkov’s ultimatum made the Brits hurry up and start special operations in early January instead of March. In the end, the Deep State failed.

Disproof

This case frames events in Kazakhstan into a big conspiracy about a secret, UK-led Deep State that dominates the world. It also rewrites the course of historical events such as the provocation of two world wars and the USSR break up. Read our past analysis: "Why authoritarians love the concept of the big conspiracy."

The case also seeks to lay the responsibility on the UK-led Deep State for the unrest in Kazakhstan which is fueled by high gas prices and social discontent in Kazakh society. There is no factual evidence neither about the existence of such a UK-led Deep State and its overwhelming influence on world politics nor about its vicious plans concerning Kazakhstan. There is also no evidence whatsoever that the timing of unrest in Kazakhstan is related to Russia's ultimatum of late December 2021 concerning a new security deal with NATO.

The trigger and immediate cause of the protests in Kazakhstan was the government's lifting of price controls on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) that took place in early January in the Western region of Manghystau and unrest soon spread to the capital.

On 8 January 2021, the EU's High Representative issued a declaration on the situation in Kazakhstan, which expresses concern about the violence and stresses the importance to prevent further escalations, avoiding exploitation of unrest for other purposes.

Disinfo: Kazakhstan’s destabilisation attempts to obstruct EEU membership and China’s new Silk Road

The destabilisation of Kazakhstan from abroad tries to create obstacles to its membership in the Eurasian Economic Union headed by Russia, as well as China’s new Silk Road. Such destabilisation would hit Eurasia in its core, with geopolitical reverberations in Russia, China and all Central Asia, where the embers of the US debacle in Afghanistan persist.

This is part of a wider disinformation campaign to justify the Russian-led intervention of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation in Kazakhstan.

There is no evidence to support claims about any US or foreign intervention behind the unrest in Kazakhstan, and even less evidence that the actual target would be any Russian or Chinese project. Instead, growing evidence points to an ongoing power struggle in the country as a driving cause in the radicalisation and expansion of the protests, which started peacefully after the government lifted price controls on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), in an already volatile context in the country.

Disinfo: The West ordered terrorist attack in Kazakhstan to create hotbed at Russia’s border

Western regimes do not really care about Kazakhstan. One gets the impression that Western clients are not particularly worried about the result of the terrorist attack in Kazakhstan. If it manages to demolish Tokayev's government, it would be great. A new hotbed of brutal nationalism, militarism and poverty will appear in the underbelly of Russia, and soon an American military base will certainly be deployed there.

Not succeeding to undermine Tokayev's government is also not bad [for the West]. The peacekeeping mission of the CSTO countries will make it possible to stir hysteria about "Russian expansion". And in this case, [the West] can pump even more weapons in Ukraine.

Disproof

A new disinformation claim around the crisis in Kazakhstan. The claim build on a conspiracy logic and is provided with no evidence. The general idea that any civil unrest in an ex-Soviet Union country is a result of a Western plan to destabilise a local regime and colonise a new region is a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about "colour revolutions".

The pro-Kremlin media frequently falsely portray popular protests around the world as instigated from abroad, often by the US and the West. The disinformation narrative has been applied, among others, to reports about protests in Georgia, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Belarus, Venezuela, Slovakia, Hong Kong, with the aim of portraying protest movements as aggressive actors supported by foreign powers who constantly prepare new coups.

Disinfo: Lithuania has nothing to boast about compared to Soviet times

During the Soviet times, Lithuania was a “showcase of communism” and one of the most comfortable countries for the living. Now, when it joined the EU, Lithuania has nothing to boast about.

Disproof

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about Lithuania and "decaying" Baltic States.

In this case it aims to portray the alleged weakness of Lithuanian economy compared to the other countries of the EU and even compared to its own Soviet times economy.
