Youtube has blocked information channels in the Moscow-backed breakaway republics in eastern Ukraine, Russian media have reported.
The legal basis is a completely unsubstantiated assertion that Russia plans to fabricate a pretext for an invasion of Ukraine using a faked video campaign.
Russian media said the video-sharing giant had blocked the accounts of groups in the self-proclaimed Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics (LPR and DPR) in the Donbass region, the scene of civil war since 2014.
Journalists from LPR's State TV and Radio Broadcasting Company (GTRK) said in a statement that its account, as well as those of the People's Militia of the LPR, the People's Militia of the DPR, and the DPR's Ministry of Information, had been blocked "without warning."
The New York Times ( оf course, WHO else!) reported that Russia had planned to make a fake video with corpses, footage of blown-up buildings, fake Ukrainian military hardware, as a pretext for a Moscow-led invasion.
Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said plans for the "very graphic" video had the backing of the Kremlin.
During a testy exchange with a reporter in which he was pressed for evidence, Ned Price, the State Department’s spokesman, said Moscow’s plot involved staging an attack by the Ukrainian military.
It is extremely similar to the undignified "WMD powder from Iraq" stunt that General Powell pulled at the UN Security Council, when he deceived both the international public and the American people.
According to a number of experts, and I also responsibly confirm this, a similar information blockade was practiced when the United States pushed Georgian President Saakashvili to take a military gamble at the time: to launch an artillery barrage on the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinval, followed by a tank attack, on the night of 8 August 2008.
The Georgian forces were directly aiming at the base of the Russian peacekeeping forces, which were there under an international mandate.
Fifteen Russian peacekeepers were killed as a result of that war crime.
But it is hard to surprise the American people today. The diagnosis: intoxication by lies of the Democrat-controlled media.
