Following a decree by Volodymyr Zelensky, the Communist Party of Ukraine was permanently banned by a Lviv court.
As the party's assets, buildings and funds were forcibly transferred to the state, Zelensky appealed for more weapons to defend democracy.

Covid lockdowns are among most overlooked factor in Sri Lanka's collapse: "The World Bank estimates 500,000 people have fallen below the poverty line since the beginning of the pandemic, the equivalent of five years’ progress in fighting poverty..."

Except Biden is slighting Kissinger from the right, attempting to blacklist him from elite Beltway society for the crime of imagining a realistic solution to end a bloody war that the White House seeks to prolong indefinitely in order to bleed Russia

@MBlumenthal

The discipline of the Beltway press corps to not cover this criminal depravity is impressive

Today Ruslan Onishchenko, the commander of the Neo-Nazi Tornado battalion, was released from prison by the Zelensky regime, alongside thousands of other criminals. Onishchenko was previously condemned to 10 years imprisonment for rape, torture and murder of civilians.

Washington Post on well-intentioned coups:

“Some international affairs experts said Bolton’s comments could be a setback for well-intentioned U.S. policies.
“It’s damaging to our efforts to advance and support democracy,””

Shinzo Abe inherited the ties his war criminal grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, established with the anti-communist Unification Church of Sun Myung-Moon.

The mother of Abe's assassin was defrauded by the Moonies; he blamed his target for shielding the cult.

W/o explanation, YouTube has demonetized my interview w/ Alina Lipp, the only German journalist in Donetsk

The German state has seized funds from Lipp's bank account and is prosecuting her under new speech laws for her reporting on Ukrainian war crimes

Thanks to their government's economic war on Russia, German "landlords, schools and municipalities have begun to lower thermostats, ration hot water, close swimming pools, turn off air-conditioners, dim streetlights and exhort the benefits of cold showers"

The Kononovich brothers, communist youth leaders & anti fascists, thanked supporters as their show trial resumed in Ukraine.

But appeals for Western media and MEPs to attend hearings so they can see the ugly truth of the Zelensky regime have fallen flat.

Never knew Reality Winner was commended by the Air Force for her role in the killing of 600 Pashto, Dari and Farsi speaking “enemies.”

Interesting that Russiagate, and not the remote killing of masses of strangers, prompted her to become a whistleblower.

This is how they find separatists.

They find random people and set them on fire with a blow torch until their skin melts.

NATO’s DC think tank has criticized the Zelensky’s insincere exploitation of social issues, noting that a year after he campaigned on tolerance for sexual diversity, his party formed an anti-gay caucus and introduced laws against “gay propaganda”
