U.S. STATE Dept. Behind Ukraine’s KILL LIST; No Surprise To Me!
Julian Assange’s Father Insists U.S. State Dept. Financing of Ukraine Blacklists ‘Absolutely Scandalous’ and Must Stop
Sept. 13, 2022 (EIRNS)—EIR’s Gerardo Castilleja raised the blacklist of Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) and the Myrotvorets kill list at a public briefing organized for Julian Assange’s father and brother, John and Gabriel Shipton, at the Goethe Institute in Mexico City yesterday. Speaking as a representative of the Lyndon LaRouche movement in Mexico, Castilleja briefed the meeting on the Ukrainian government’s bare-faced attack on freedom of expression, with the CCD’s July 14th release of a list of the names of 72 diplomats, politicians, academics, and others, who don’t follow the narrative about Ukraine, calling them “information terrorists” and subject to treatment as “war criminals.” That Center is financed by the U.S. State Department, he emphasized. He raised the case of Russian journalist Darya Dugina being on the Myrotvorets list and then being “eliminated” by a car-bomb in Moscow on Aug. 20, and warned of “the fingering and elimination of journalists, all under the direction and financing of the State Department.”
John Shipton, clearly familiar with the Myrotvorets list, answered the “Lyndon LaRouche comment” briefly, but hard: “The Myrotvorets website is scandalous, absolutely scandalous, and the financing of that by the State Department is just, well, a disgrace. And the advocation of thuggish brutality against anyone who disagrees or comments upon Ukraine: It just has to stop. It’s a scandal.”
Russian Officials Respond Forcefully to Proposed ‘Kiev Security Compact’
Sept. 14, 2022 (EIRNS)—Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded on Sept. 14 to the release of the Kiev Security Compact: “This compact, these so-called working groups would get EU countries caught in such a knot, tying their hands so that they would end up hellishly enslaved and subsequently never restore their economic growth and development, nor even their former glory for that matter as well.”
Dmitry Medvedev, Russian Security Council deputy chair and former Russian President, (in Russian) responded in a Telegram post that “the Kiev camarilla has given birth to a project of ‘security guarantees,’ which are essentially a prologue to a third world war. Of course, no one will provide any ‘guarantees’ to the Ukrainian Nazis,” he wrote. He said the proposal is tantamount to “applying Article 5 of the North Atlantic Pact to Ukraine…. It directly concerns NATO’s hybrid war with Russia. If these half-wits go ahead with the rampant pumping of the most dangerous types of weapons to the Kiev regime, then sooner or later the military campaign will achieve another level,” he warned. “The campaign will follow its own military scenario, involving ever more new participants. It has always been this way,” Medvedev said. (Emphasis in original.)
