Since the beginning of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine on February 24, the Kremlin has made it clear that the objective of its mission is the “denazification” and “demilitarization” of Kyiv, warning that Western powers are using Ukraine to invade his territory.

‘Fascist influence is now close to open control of Ukrainian armed forces. The legalized nazi battalions have gained kudos and wide support due to the uncontrolled billions in arms and aid flowing into the military, as well as blanket censorship of all opposition and ubiquitous western media propaganda. Their steep rise to power took off with the success of the botched and clearly false ‘Bucha Massacre’ episode, which boosted the tsunami of western aid. Nazi leaders by now employ unquestionable terrorist attacks and boast unopposed military control’ comment

Comandante en jefe de Ucrania, Valeriy Zalúzhniy, 6 de octubre de 2022.
El comandante en jefe de las Fuerzas Armadas ucranianas, Valeriy Zalúzhniy, ha publicado una imagen, en la que lleva brazalete, con símbolo de cruz gamada nazi.
La imagen, publicada el pasado jueves en la cuenta de Twitter de Zalúzhniy, muestra que el comandante ucraniano lleva una pulsera con esvástica nazi en su muñeca.
Al principio la foto fue difundida por muchos medios ucranianos y luego se hizo viral en las redes sociales cuando usuarios la compartieron.
Desde el inicio de la operación militar especial rusa a Ucrania en 24 de febrero, el Kremlin ha dejado claro que el objetivo de su misión es la “desnazificación” y “desmilitarización” de Kiev, alertando que las potencias occidentales están usando a Ucrania para invadir su territorio.

“La influencia fascista está ahora cerca del control abierto de las fuerzas armadas ucranianas. Los batallones nazis legalizados han ganado elogios y un amplio apoyo debido a los miles de millones en armas y ayuda que fluyen hacia el estado sin control, así como a la censura general de toda la oposición y la propaganda de los medios occidentales. Su abrupto ascenso al poder despegó con el éxito del episodio chapucero y claramente falso de la ‘Masacre de Bucha’, que inició un tsunami de ayuda occidental. Los líderes nazis ahora pueden emplear ataques terroristas incuestionables y presumir de un control militar sin oposición. (Comentario)

“We have suffered the cancer of the nuclear legacy for far too long and we need to find a way forward to a better future for our people,” Samuel Lanwi, deputy permanent representative of the Republic of the Marshall Islands in Geneva told the body in an emotional speech.
The United States conducted dozens of nuclear weapons tests in the islands of the Pacific state in the 1940s and ’50s, including the 1954 Castle Bravo test at Bikini Atoll, the biggest U.S. bomb ever detonated.
The text tabled by five Pacific Island states — the Marshall Islands, Fiji, Nauru, Samoa and Vanuatu — was backed by Australia and did not demand reparations.

It called on the U.N. rights chief to submit a report in September 2024 on the challenges to the enjoyment of human rights by the Marshallese people stemming from the nuclear legacy.
The United States as well as other nuclear weapons states such as Britain, India and Pakistan expressed concern about some aspects of the text but did not ask for a vote on the motion. Japan did not speak at the meeting.

El gobierno de Obama fue un crisol de expresiones de supremacía blanca en todo el espectro. Para los incondicionales de una blancura reaccionaria, fue una llamada de atención, una señal de que las instituciones de la blancura no defenderían necesariamente los símbolos de la blancura de siempre, de que los niveles más altos de privilegio y poder se abrirían a las personas racializadas. La gente de la derecha era demasiado obtusa o demasiado arrogante para darse cuenta…

Turkish courts handed down a total of 27 years in prison to 60 journalists last month, according to the 2022 September Press Freedom Report.
According to the report, announced by Utku Çakırözer, a lawmaker from the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP), 60 journalists were sentenced to 27 years, seven months and 19 days in total in prison for their articles, comments or social media messages, while two of them were detained.
In addition a number of journalists were allegedly subjected to physical violence, as they were following news stories last month.
The report said police pressure on members of the press has increased and that dozens of journalists following protests and other events in various cities in September were prevented from doing their jobs due to the use of excessive force on the part of the security forces.
Çakırözer stated in his report that news about corruption and bribery scandals involving government officials and their families was blocked and that access to some news sites publishing such news was prevented.
“Journalists are beaten, imprisoned and blocked in Turkey. The government, which was expected to improve the working conditions of journalists, is presenting new bills to the Turkish parliament to intensify repression and censorship. We will not allow such bills, which will further increase the pressure on the press, to pass through parliament,” the lawmaker said.
The bill that Çakırözer was referring to adds the offense, titled “Publicly Disseminating Misleading Information,” to Law No. 5237 of the Turkish Penal Code in clause A of Article 217, which says, “Anyone who publicly disseminates false information regarding the internal and external security, public order and general health of the country, with the sole motive of creating anxiety, fear or panic among the public, in a way that is suitable for disturbing the public peace, is sentenced to imprisonment from one year to three years.”
The Justice and Development Party (AKP) government has been relentless in its crackdown on critical media outlets, particularly after a coup attempt on July 15, 2016.
Rights groups routinely accuse Turkey of undermining media freedom by arresting journalists and shutting down critical media outlets, especially since President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan survived a coup attempt in July 2016.
