In Italy, similarly to Australia, New Zealand and other Western countries, a tyrannical government has turned the police forces into a “health Gestapo” exploiting the coronavirus pandemic.
Summary
Western responsibility for the massive fleeing of people from countries attacked by the US and its allies never appears in the speeches of the leaders of the so-called ‘Free World’ nor in the dominant press. It is clear the intention to silence the obvious causes of this situation, which has nothing to do with Russia nor Belarus but is directly linked to NATO’s military interventions in countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and other countries attacked by Western powers. The West will never address its responsibility and fault and will keep its citizens in their ignorance through its addictive press that permanently hides the realities and truths. Press freedom is a great lie in the West.
Disproof
This is part of an ongoing disinformation campaign on the migration crisis on the EU-Belarus border, aiming to deflect attention away from Minsk’s responsibility in orchestrating it by accusing Western powers of creating the conditions for a wave of refugees.
Contrary to the claim, there is massive evidence showing that the Belarusian regime engineered the crisis artificially by creating a new migratory route in order to put pressure on the EU. Multiple investigations both by European officials and by media showed that those migrants were being brought to Belarus from Iraq, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates on commercial flights, a trip encouraged and supported by Belarusian authorities. Information gathered also suggests that migrants are regularly transported by bus to the Belarusian-Lithuanian border. More information about Lukashenka's role in the organisation of the current migration crisis can be found here and here.
As much of this evidence has been uncovered by Western independent media, this disinformation story aims to discredit these sources by accusing them of being accomplices in “hiding the truth”. The claim that there is no press freedom in the West is also a frequent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative.
See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that the US and the EU are to blame for the migration crisis at the EU-Belarus border, that the EU organised the crisis and will continue doing so in other countries, or that the EU adopts sanctions on Belarus to manage its own internal contradictions.
