EU THREATENS JOURNALISTS FOR THE ‘CRIME’ OF REPORTING ON UKRAINE REFERENDUMS

By Joseph Storey - October 20, 2022

AN outrageous attack on press freedom by the #EU has emerged over the war in #Ukraine – with a British #journalist being especially targeted. 

It came after reporters covered the recent referendums staged in the Russian-controlled Donbass and Luhansk regions on whether the two should become part of Russia.  
Remarkably, the EU is claiming that this ‘observation’ of the polls can be perceived as ‘recognition’ of the polls’ legitimacy and is ‘totally unacceptable’. 

Now a French #MEP, Nathalie #Loiseau, has called on Josep #Borrell, the EU’s High Representative for foreign affairs and security policy, to impose #sanctions against the reporters – pointedly naming British activist and blogger Vanessa #Beeley.

Alarmed by this blatant call for censorship, I contacted Senor #Borrell, a Spanish politician, to ask him to desist from any action against press freedom.

In response, I received an extraordinary letter from Petra #Gombalova, head of the EU’s ‘External Action Division Ukraine’.

She wrote:  

"Thank you for your letter to High Representative Borrell.......

........ The European Union has been united in its response and has passed wide-ranging measures as a result of the invasion.

The European Union strongly condemns these illegal “referenda” which go against the legal and democratically elected Ukrainian authorities, are in violation of Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, and in blatant breach of international law.

The results of such actions will be null and void and will not be recognised  by the EU and its Member States. 

Any support to illegal referenda – including their observation which can be perceived as their recognition – is totally unacceptable and runs contrary to these commitments."

#Christian and #Muslim parents have joined forces to protest a Public #School meeting in #Dearborn, #Michigan to protest the inclusion of "woke" #LGBTQ+ books in schools that contain sexually explicit material.

The video above shows one of the very paternalistic smug condescending Leftists lecturing the Muslims of Dearborn and castigating them for "#WrongThink" because ‘we fought the right to allow you to come here & now you dare go against us?’.

He claims they are being duped by the Christian right as though they are incapable of independent thought.

The issue is about sexually explicit books in school libraries, not LGBT rights, but leftists are disingenuously framing the debate around LGBT rights to make it seem as if Muslims and Christians pose some sort of existential threat to the LGBT community.

It’s only a matter of time before American Muslims are branded terrorists again and hunted down by the government, but it will be done by the left this time around, not the right.

Undersea cable CUT to Shetland, communications down.

I’d warned once pipelines started blowing up that undersea cables would be the next bit of critical infrastructure to be targeted - here we go.

- Get hard copies of materials you need
- Write down critical radio frequencies for your family/group, nearby repeaters
- Know where and HOW to get information if comms go out

JURY CLEARS KEVIN SPACEY OF ANTHONY RAPP'S SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGES

To my knowledge at least 3 of his accusers died with a year of this whole thing becoming public

+++++++++++++++++++++

Linda Culkin, John Doe, Ari Behn: Three of Kevin Spacey's accusers have died this year.


#AriBehn, who accused actor #KevinSpacey of sexual assault in 2017, has died by "#suicide" aged 47, just hours after #Spacey shared a video on threatening to "#kill his enemies with kindness"

Behn had accused Spacey, of groping him.

He is the 3rd Spacey accuser to die in 2019.

Spacey, released a video on Christmas Eve in which he said:

"The next time someone does something you don’t like, you can go on the attack, but you can also hold your fire and do the unexpected.

You can kill them with kindness"


An anonymous massage therapist, died just a month before his lawsuit against Spacey was set to go to trial.

Linda #Culkin died after being hit by a car.

No charges were filed against the driver.

Not satisfied with US attempts to obfuscate legitimate questions about the nature of its #biolabs activities in #Ukraine, the Russian Federation and its allies at the #UN request that the #UNSC be seized of the matter.

Food Collapse:

Yara has now closed another European fertilizer plant - due to the cost of energy.

Yara’s site in Wallonia has been offline from 15 September. It is no longer financially viable to make fertiliser in Europe, given that natural gas is key to the process.

They aren’t alone. Steel producers, yarn factories, are all shutting down…

#LaurelCanyon in the 1960s and early 1970s was a magical place where a dizzying array of musical artists congregated to create much of the music that provided the soundtrack to those turbulent times.

Members of bands like the #Byrds, the #Doors, #BuffaloSpringfield, the #Monkees, the #BeachBoys, the Turtles, the #Eagles, the Flying Burrito Brothers, Frank #Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, #Steppenwolf, #CrosbyStillsNash, Three Dog Night and #Love, along with other singer/songwriters as #JoniMitchell, Judy Collins, #JamesTaylor and #CaroleKing, lived together and jammed together in the bucolic community nestled in the #Hollywood Hills.

But there was a dark side to that scene as well.

Many didn't make it out alive, and many deaths remain shrouded in mystery to this day.

Far more integrated into the scene than most would like to admit was a guy by the name of #CharlesManson, along with his entourage.

Also floating about the periphery were various political operatives, up-and-coming politicians and intelligence personnel—the same sort of people who gave birth to many of the rock stars populating the canyon.

And all the canyon's colorful characters—rock stars, hippies, murderers and politicos—happily coexisted alongside a covert military installation.

"Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon" is the very strange, but nevertheless true story of the dark underbelly of a hippie utopia.

I don't recall reading this guy's work, but ran across his bit about being offered money to push pro-Ukraine articles. I can only assume it's US taxpayer funds used to continue the grift for politicians.
