The European union has banned RT and sputnik the two news outlets. As part of the sanctions on Russia, they’ve not only sanctioned Russia’s central bank and removed Russia from the SWIFT international banking system partly and not only blocked Russian airplanes from flying over Europe or using European airspace but now they’ve even banned RT. the head of the EU commission said: in another unprecedented step, we will ban in the European Union the Kremlin’s media machine. the state owned Russia Today and Sputnik as well as their subsidiaries will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin’s war and to saw division in our union. we are developing tools to ban that toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe in another unprecedented step.

way to go right so much for the free west right so much for freedom of expression in the western world isn’t that amazing so here’s from the guardian the EU is to ban Russian staked-backed channels RT and sputnik the EU has announced it will ban the Russian state-backed channels RT and sputnik in an unprecedented move against the Kremlin media machine the European commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Russia today and sputnik as well as their subsidiaries will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin’s war and to sow division in our union we are developing tools to ban their toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe spread their lies toxic disinformation are you I want to ask you something Madame commissioner are you so threatened by me making videos in my bedroom the Kremlin media machine did you know Putin is actually standing over me watching every word I type in every word I say these people are so pathetic they’re so pathetic honestly they talk about human rights and free speech and democracy every single day and they use it to put sanctions on other people and starve them to death and they use it to bomb countries and then now they have the nerve to talk about toxic media lies I mean Jesus Christ if you’re going to ban RT let me ask you where were the sanctions on the American banks on the European banks on the European leaders and the American TV channels the British TV channels who lied about weapons of mass destruction this is a quantifiable scientific fact that more people died as a result of the U.S. UK invasion of Iraq than in Ukraine not only that but it resulted in a lot of internal violence and then of course the emergence of ISIS the entire region destroyed in the last 20 years if you’re going to punish RT what about the people who started that war are you are you really serious I mean it’s incredible and then over here they say that YouTube has banned ads on RT and other Russian channels I mean that’s not as substantial but nevertheless you can see of course the corporate arm moving and acting on this is really funny this is really funny I have to admit obviously I am an independent journalist I started my career here I’m still here and I’m always going to be here inshallah and I can do that thanks to you guys most people in journalism they didn’t start on their own they started at some outlet or did something but I’m here this is where I began and I got to admit on the side it is funny being on two channels that are now banned in Europe so PressTV is banned in the UK they the U.S. stole the website presstv.com and now Russia RT is banned in Europe as part of Russian sanctions I mean are you really so threatened about my YouTube videos most of my stuff is just this exactly what I’m saying here is just uploaded to RT that’s literally it that is literally it this that I say here is just I give it to RT and you’re threatened by that you clown man these people are really hypocrites they are absolute hypocrites and this really shows you again who these neoliberals are because they love authoritarianism and they love censorship on both sides of the Atlantic and they use this idea of national security which is the dictators they call Putin a dictator but this is the dictator’s playbook to silence dissent to silence dissent they say you’re a threat to national security you are spreading toxic lies you are dangerous and then that’s the justification they used to shut down channels outlets journalists that they don’t like same thing with Assange right they say obviously this is not as big as that but it’s the same mentality it’s like you’re a threat to our security we got to put you in jail so this is really straight out of the authoritarian playbook and I’m absolutely I mean I’m not surprised at all I am not surprised at all what is glaring to me what is absolutely glaring again is the hypocrisy I can’t I can’t help but draw the line here and show you that by their own logic by their own logic they should have banned every American bank they should have sanctioned every American leader they should have banned every American channel CNN, fox news same in the UK BBC iTV sky news all of these outlets they pushed for the war in Iraq and they caused arguably objectively leaks more destruction and suffering and pain and I don’t understand how that isn’t a threat to humankind it is because it’s spurred on more conflicts the middle east is still on fire millions of people died millions have been made refugees so by your own logic Madame commissioner you should also move to be banning those people because they have a precedent of doing this over and over and over again right they did it not just Iraq they did in Syria they lied about Syria they lied about Libya they always do this but of course they don’t care about that it’s the idea here is if you oppose our anti- Russian narrative you are working with the Kremlin and we will shut you down that’s it that’s it that that’s the whole line that they’re towing here in the UK in the us in the EU anyone who descends anyone who diverges even slightly from the official narrative is going to be out cast out chastised as a as a Putin pro-Putin asset and then we’re going to silence them and we’re going to we’re going to cut them up you should see the number of people who are calling Tucker Carlson a traitor and he should be put in jail for treason and taken off the air I mean I don’t like anything from Tucker Carlson except the anti-war things if if he’s speaking sense okay but why the do you want to put him in jail it’s ironically for those things that he says right because it’s he talks about NATO and they’re like traitor burn him that’s it that’s all it takes it’s not even the other things that he says which are like way more outrageous no it’s that part of at the stake it’s really incredible watching this new neoliberal machine cut down chop down every anyone who descends on both sides of the Atlantic it’s really incredible and the irony here is that if you want to talk about the kremlin’s media machine in this case they mean state media are you seriously going to tell me that this is not state media look at this is an interview from on fox with Condoleezza Rice do you remember Condoleezza rice she was in the bush administration she was a George Bush junior’s national security advisor if I recall correctly I remember all their names but they’re asking her about Russia are you ready I don’t think you’re ready well and I have argued that when you invade a sovereign nation that is a war crime I mean I think we’re at just a real basic point there well yeah I think it’s a basic point there thank you for saying that thank you thank you Condoleezza rice that you are nodding in agreement that invading a country is a war crime it’s specifically a war of crime of aggression thank you so much so why did you invade Iraq and Afghanistan huh why were you part of George Bush’s administration you piece of neocon dirty neocon bastards certainly against every principle of I mean I think I think we’re at just a real basic point there well it is certainly against every principle of international law and international order and that’s why throwing the book at them now in terms of economic sanctions and punishments is also a part of it and I think the world is there certainly NATO is there he’s managed to unite NATO in ways that I didn’t think I would ever see again after the end of the cold war really yeah well and I have argued that Christ I mean this is this is beyond parody this is like a comedy central skit this is black bush which Dave Chappelle did has one of the best sketches of all time he really exposed them the bush administration what liars they are and even Blair Jamie Foxx makes an appearance but this is like a comedy skit I don’t know again how I don’t know how old you guys are if you remember the war in Iraq I remember her Condoleezza rice Dick Cheney Colin Powell Paul Wolfowitz Donald Rumsfeld George bush of course and all of these dirty neocon scumbags these neoconservatives right who started this war on terror they started the war on terror beginning with Afghanistan and then of course that’s been used to bomb 19 countries and now she has the stones to say like well yeah of course well of course attacking a sovereign country invading a country this is a basic thing of course it’s against international law international order yeah and you could see in her eyes she’s like are you talking about me she you can see like she felt called out for a second there right look at that guilty nod look at her it’s just a real basic it’s like I hope you don’t mean me right wow so now we’re inviting George Bush officials to talk about invading other countries I mean this is like inviting Hitler to talk about human rights this is the equivalent right or whatever any Nazi official doesn’t matter you get the point the contrast here the hypocrisy is staggering I mean it would be already half as bad if you invited joe Biden right who supported the war in Iraq but literally someone from the administration I mean are you serious this is state media so when we talk about banning RT as they’ve done now in the EU because they say it’s state media again I’m sorry you feel threatened by my videos that I do in my apartment but this is okay this is not state media when you have these corporate outlets bringing on war criminals who have caused millions to suffer and to die to talk about invading other countries as if they have any sort of moral high ground or ethical high ground or any kind of objective stance on such an issue this has got to be a joke this has got to be a joke and when I saw that I thought it was like a post I was like what no this is that real what is she doing here and then I remembered of course they always brought on Donald Rumsfeld and they let Colin Powell speak at the DNC convention and they had George bush on Ellen’s show yeah and Bill Crystal and David Frum is writing this article now in the Atlantic about Putin the democrats have embraced the neoconservatives and why wouldn’t they they’re both authoritarians bush set up the department of homeland security the NSA mass surveillance started with him the day of 9 11 and the war on terror right so they love neoconservatives they love authoritarianism of course the democrats would embrace them of course but of course this is not state media right it doesn’t matter that the conflict of interest is so glaring no this is not state media right just eat what we feed you all right like a good little sheep and be quiet Russian bad I mean if someone on RT seriously for a second if someone on RT brought on any Russian military official they would immediately scream like this is a conflict of interest why are you interviewing him you can’t talk to him he has a clear interest to say things that are proclaimed but here it’s fine right they have secretary of Lincoln on secretary of state blinking on every other day they bring on Jake Sullivan the national security adviser they always have these government officials which of course you should interview them but they bring them on corporate media which is owned by the same people who are donating to the politicians you can’t make this up man you can’t make this up but of course they’re not going to be banned and the difference between me and these neocon pieces of and neoliberals is that I’m not advocating for them to be banned as much as I despise and loathe them as much as they should be banned because they actually pose a threat to humankind I’m still not going to go there because we are not like them but they of course they don’t care they don’t care about it being hypocritical it’s my way or the highway that’s how they think right it’s the united states we are exceptional and you go screw yourself and so this is so ironic they have the nerve to call RT uh like the kremlin’s media machine do you really think they have resources and nothing to do but to waste time telling everyone who contributes to RT what to what to write you’re so childish the irony here is if I worked at an outlet like that at the CBS or ABC or MSNBC or CNN BBC whatever I wouldn’t have a fraction of the freedom that I have now I wouldn’t have a fraction I get to cover what I like it to say what I like literally the exact stuff that I’m telling you I sent it to RT that’s it and then I get to talk about Julian Assange do you think that let me cover my the court case that I’m covering they would let me talk about that never state media go yourself man you know I’m going to remind you something speaking of Assange used to have a show on RT George Galloway still has a show on RT I was I was with him just a few hours ago on MOATS and Chris Hedges is on RT I’m proud to be colleagues with these people they’re the best of the best it’s an honor and the fact that we are all in the same place and you have a concentration of such individuals fine journalists you know Galloway is an actually decent politician and he he’s tremendous he’s great that should tell you something the fact that the BBC won’t have people like us on that should tell you something that about the biases here about who’s really state media make no mistake the west has state media and they actually do it so much better than RT or PressTV because they make you think it’s not state media and that’s the art of the deception it was also reported that the EU has banned the Kremlin mouthpieces RT and sputnik this is so childish really I heard someone say that it’s the other way around like RT is a mouthpiece for me because I just do my thing and then they show it that’s it it’s really that simple and the fact that they are so afraid of this is so pathetic you remember for PressTV they banned press TV and then the us stole the website they had joe Biden had to use national emergency laws national emergency laws just to take down PressTV’s website they’re so scared what a bunch of right the marketplace of ideas democracy free speech it’s all out the window man they don’t care about this stuff not one bit biggest hypocrites on earth
