On 7 October this yr, the brand new Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Andrey Sibiga visited SA. I used to be joyful to see that, this time, the DA didn’t precisely roll out the pink carpet (and roll up their sycophantic skirts) to welcome them – the way in which they cosied as much as the Ukrainian ambassador again in March 2022. (Damn that was exhausting to observe.)

While they have been right here, the Ukrainian ministry aides screwed up at a press convention. They inadvertently let that authoritarian, Nazi masks slip…after they demanded that their counterpart hosts, the SA international ministry, take away the RT (Russia Today information) microphone from the desk.

(REAL darn democrats, huh? All for freedom of speech and knowledge, proper? If that doesn’t clue you in as to who these fascists are, you’re not paying shut sufficient consideration.)

TISA, COMRADE. WE DON’T DO CENSORSHIP

Fortunately, our ministers didn’t buckle to the command and refused to take away the mic. They principally advised these Banderite neo-Nazis…TiSA: “This is South Africa. That’s not how we do things in our fancy-schmancy, “sophisticated” constitutional democracy, boet. So go f*ck your self, comrade!”

Ok, so that they didn’t truly say that in so many phrases, however their actions did. They told the Ukrainians, “You’re not at home now”, and “We can’t chase them away.” They additionally reminded the Ukrainian ministry that SA has legal guidelines guaranteeing freedom of the press. (Ura, S’Africa!)

Too dangerous the remainder of (white) SA doesn’t have the center, integrity or intelligence to inform the USA and the remainder of Zelensky’s Nazis the identical factor. Maybe it’s as a result of most (white) saffers have a tendency to simply imagine no matter America tells them. I feel it comes from years of being conditioned by American media, TV and Hollywood. America hates these “commie” Russkies, so we do. America hates these “yellow chinks”, the Chinese, so we do. America loves Zionist Israel, “God’s chosen people” within the “Holy Land”, so we do.

America tells us we’re not allowed to observe RT…and we go proper alongside, with out protest.

BANNING RT SET A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT

Lest we neglect, when Russia’s SMO started in late February 2022, the US and their lapdog lackeys within the UK/Euro and Western establishment instantly scrambled to ban RT from being publicly broadcast in virtually each main Western nation and all through Africa – together with proper here in SA. Not solely did Ofcom revoke RT’s license within the UK however the UK Supreme Court additionally rejected RT’s proper to enchantment. Between 2022 and late 2024, we noticed RT banned from Meta (Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp), YouTube, TikTok and Telegram.

Now, ask your self, why would the so-called “democratic” West – Washington, London and Brussels – need to ban RT? Why do you suppose they did that? That’s proper. Obviously, they don’t need you listening to or considering the opposite aspect’s level of view; the counter-narrative. They don’t need you to understand how that “war” REALLY began – and by who. (Hint: It wasn’t Russia). They need you to close up, do what you’re advised, and imagine them after they say that Putin is the evil Bond villain right here, and Russia is a mad-dog, rogue-nation regime – with out query. Allowing RT to remain on air (and Meta, YouTube, and many others) would dilute and debunk Western MSM’s deceitful propaganda about Russia, Putin and that battle.

HYPOCRISY OF “FREE AND DEMOCRATIC” WEST LAID BARE

Tell me, does any of that sound democratic to you? Does that sound just like the US and their patsy, lapdog allies are severe about respecting and honouring our authorized proper to freedom of press, speech, expression and knowledge? No, suh! Definitely not. Yet, the nations who shut down RT (and continuously demonise Russia and Putin) are continuously lecturing us about human rights, democracy, freedom of speech, the “rules-based order” and all the remainder. Notice that?

Did …simply down the street from the Kremlin, virtually spitting distance from Putin’s workplace, there’s a BBC reporter who perpetually spews Russophobic, Putin-bashing propaganda? That’s proper. BBC has a reporter in Moscow. Betcha didn’t know that. Now inform me one thing, if Putin was such a tyrant and Russia was so Draconian – because the West continuously makes out – why do they allow that reporter to write and say what he wants – together with challenging Putin face-to-face, in public? Why doesn’t Putin simply name up a few his outdated KGB comrades and inform them to go over to that man’s workplace, work him over with a great old style USSR-style torture routine, after which put him on the following prepare to a gulag in northern Siberia?

Maybe Putin and Russia are usually not what the Western MSM make them out to be?

SEEK OUT ALTERNATIVE NEWS SOURCES

Do your self a favour, SA, and cease watching and believing the brainwashing propaganda popping out of the Western political institution and their sock-puppet, stenographers within the MSM. Seek out alt-news sources, there are a lot of. Here, I’ll get you started.

Lest you get up one morning and end up brainwashed into the incorrect aspect of historical past, morality and worldwide regulation…supporting neo-fascism, imperialism and colonialism…throughout once more. 

What say you, SA? Is it simply and authorized that RT information will get banned by the West? Or, ought to we be allowed to guage for ourselves what’s and isn’t “propaganda”?
