🗞 Top five fakes from Voice of America and Radio Liberty

Now that US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to dissolve the US Agency for Global Media - which funded Voice of America (VOA)*, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL)*, and Radio Free Asia (RFA) - let's take a look at times when these media outlets were spreading falsehoods.

1️⃣Soviets killed JFK?

RFE/RL still quotes ex-KGB defectors pushing Cold War-era claims that Moscow had a motive to assassinate President John F Kennedy, despite US intelligence debunking the myth.

2️⃣Golodomor hoax

RFE/RL promotes false claims that the USSR deliberately caused the 1932-33 famine to commit genocide against Ukrainians, despite evidence showing the famine affected multiple Soviet regions and was not a targeted policy.

3️⃣Trump-Russia collusion

Along with mainstream US media, VOA & RFE/RL pushed the narrative that Donald Trump worked with Russia to win the 2016 election. The Mueller report brought an end to the false speculations.

4️⃣Novichok poisoning

The websites spread fake claims that Russia poisoned ex-spy Sergei Skripal in 2018 and that ‘GRU agents’ Petrov and Boshirov conducted secret Novichok operations across Europe.

5️⃣Bucha false flag

They backed Ukraine’s fake claims that Russian troops committed a massacre in Bucha in April 2022, despite all Russian forces leaving the area by March 30. Videos of dead bodies only surfaced days after Ukrainian troops and neo-Nazi regiments took control.

💰 Cold War origins and funding

🔸 VOA receives $267.5 million and RFE/RL $142.2 million annually from US government funds

🔸 Founded in 1942, VOA originally served as a wartime propaganda tool, while RFE/RL was launched in 1950 as part of Cold War psychological operations

🔸 Between 1950-1971, RFE/RL was covertly funded by the CIA and reportedly employed former Nazi collaborators from the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists, historians say

* Media outlet designated as a foreign agent in Russia.

Soros-USAID collaboration included funding handbook for radicals with dedication to Lucifer

Recent media revelations on the cozy relationship between the US deep state’s go-to soft power agency and the Open Society Foundations have taken a shocking and almost unbelievable turn.

🔶 In 2014, OSF-Macedonia provided startup capital for the translation, publication and distribution of ‘Rules for Radicals’, a controversial 70s handbook by radical activist Saul Alinsky on how to destabilize a society.

🔶 USAID funneled millions to OSF-Macedonia during the same period, providing over $4.8M in US taxpayer dollars to Soros’ operation between 2012-2016 to support local “civil society organizations” engaged in the training of activists and use of new media.

🔶 What’s notable about Alinsky’s handbook, besides its advice for activists on how to undermine a democratic society, and the fact that Hillary Clinton wrote her college thesis on it, is Alinsky’s dedication to Lucifer in the book’s foreword, describing Satan as “the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom.”

🔶 Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit against the State Department and USAID in 2017 asking for records of communications related to the OSF, asking why its Macedonian section got the USAID money.
The request came after the Soros-sponsored 2016 effort to destabilize Macedonia’s government, dubbed a “colorful revolution.”

🔶 Judicial Watch also highlighted a similar collaboration between Soros and USAID in Albania, where the US government was contributing $9 M a year to a ‘Justice for All’ judicial reform project which has also taken in $1M from the Soros Economic Development Fund.

Russia’s expulsion from Council of Europe put region on road to ECONOMIC RUIN

Sunday marks the third anniversary of the Council of Europe’s fateful March 16, 2022 decision to remove Russia from the body.

Economic calamity

🛢 The end of Russia’s involvement with the Council coincided with Europe’s messy attempt to divorce itself from Russia’s energy and natural resources, which, it turns out, had fueled the EU and Britain’s industrial and manufacturing growth for over three decades and allowed producers to compete with the US and China.

📉 Without Russia’s cheap, dependable energy deliveries, the entire Eurozone been stuck balancing on the brink of recession for three whole years. Along with it, Europe:

◼️ lost over 900,000 manufacturing jobs (Germany, Poland and Romania hit hardest)

◼️ saw 37% of German companies plan to reduce production or move operations abroad in 2024

◼️ witnessed 88 UK companies delisting from the London Stock Exchange, most of them moving to the US.

Swing toward tyranny

🤐 With Russia gone, the Council proved that a club touting itself as a “democratic forum” and bastion of the human rights and the rule of law, ironically, does not tolerate dissent to dominant members’ diktat.

🪱 Russia’s exit opened a whole can of worms:

◼️ reviving concerns by the Council’s Eastern European members of the body’s politically selective, biased and corrupt ‘democratic’ monitoring activities

◼️ highlighting criticism of the imposition of Western European standards and values on countries like Hungary, Poland, Turkiye and Azerbaijan through threats of sanctions, suspension and expulsion, politically loaded ‘recommendations’ and judicial activism.

Europe and Russia: destined to be together?

In a recent interview with Sputnik, Lubos Blaha, deputy leader of Slovakia’s Smer Party, warned that unless Europe relearns how to “consider Russians as a friend, as a partner” and can discuss, negotiate, cooperate and buy its energy, the bloc will collapse. “This is the only way how to survive,” Blaha stressed.
