Purging the Iranian perspective, the Russian perspective, and soon the perspectives of many other non-Western States, is now very much acceptable from NATO member regimes. In the US RT still exists, but for the likes of PressTV they haven’t been so lucky. RT represents a real threat, in that it provides the Western world with the alternative point of view and is the most successful news outlet on youtube - or at least it was. All independent media has been censored already and/or does not have the money to break through the way RT does. The reality is that RT was the only news outlet that was by nature of its large viewership able to compete with mainstream media outlets in the West. For me, this includes interviews with Palestinians who have lost family members, survived bombing attacks, interviews with officials in groups like Hamas and the Polisario Front, and much more - all of it now gone if you live in the UK or EU. Similarly, other journalists who do not specialize in Eastern Europe, Ukraine, or Russia have now had their content banned. In fact, for RT I have only spoken about the Middle East when contributing to their platforms, but now all of my work is gone. If this is truly just about Russia, why the need for eliminating the entire RT library online, prohibiting all past content on their website and youtube from being viewed? Take a journalist like myself I don’t talk about Europe much at all. Yet, in these same locations today, you aren’t even allowed to look at the Russian point of view, it must be censored, banned, and purged they say, and anyone who believes the “evil Russians” is a now “a traitor.” Interesting that this is taking place in the countries that ostensibly pride themselves on “freedom and democracy,” implying the right to freely vote, act, speak and seek out information. RT is Russian and the Russian State is invading Ukraine, that’s the reason cited here. So why the ban on RT? Has it broken any laws, you may ask, or has it published provable disinformation and fake news? Nope. Canadian telecom operators have now banned RT also and in the United Kingdom, the Website for RT and its youtube account are not accessible and the only reason it still airs on television is due to the fear of a Russian retaliation against the BBC. Russia Today (RT) and Sputnik have been banned throughout the European Union (EU), so that member nations cannot access the channel anywhere. To begin with, we have the self-proclaimed bastions of “free speech” openly opposing freedom of speech. Below we will go through just a few examples of the hypocrisy from both the pro-NATO warmongers and their supporters. If anything, this is a teachable moment in history.įrom talk of the Western nation’s peoples being “civilized” opposed to the foreign “others” our governments kill in the millions, to certifiable war criminals now opposing an invasion of a sovereign country, the world has gone mad. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, we have witnessed the hypocrisy of Western elitists and their supporters perhaps more now than ever before.
