It’s common knowledge and public record that the West has intensified its anti-Russian information operations over the past year, but up until now, no direct link could be proven between its cyber warriors abroad and its assassins in Ukraine. That all changed due to the latest revelation by RT, which showed that the Mirotvorets online hit list was unsurprisingly registered by a Ukrainian agent of NATO’s Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence (СCD-COE). This entity is based in Tallinn and responsible for waging information war against Russia and the resistant population still residing in Ukraine.
RT reminds everyone that the hit list published the information of Oleg Kalashnikov and Oles Buzina no more than 48 hours before they were assassinated, all to the unsurprising deafness of the Western mainstream media. Nonetheless, these same blind and unscrupulous journalists were quick to jump to the gun when Boris Nemtsov was assassinated two months prior, largely echoing the allegations of ‘opposition’ leaders that ‘Russian propaganda’ and its ‘atmosphere of fear’ was to blame. According to their false narrative, Russian information mediums had ginned up such a patriotic fervor that the everyday Ivan and Olga were just clamoring for the opportunity to kill some opposition members in order to prove their loyalty. That obviously wasn’t the case whatsoever, but the myth disturbingly becomes truth when applied to NATO’s information operations in Ukraine, indicating what may in hindsight have actually been a Freudian slip by the mainstream media’s deep state handlers.
NATO-supported Mirotvorets functions as an online kill portal where the name, photo, address, phone number, and other personal information of so-called “enemies of the state” of Ukraine are published. Wannabe assassins eager to prove their loyalty to Kiev’s regime could then take ‘patriotic’ matters into their own hands by killing the individuals marked for death in the hit list. This mechanism of fear, intimidation, and, as already has been seen, actual murder doesn’t have an equivalent in any other war-torn countries, to say nothing of the peaceful and stable Russian Federation. It’s a postmodern creation thought of in the West, supported by the West, and designed to pursue the interests of the West, and it owes its inspiration to none other than the Nazi regime. Twenty-first century Ukraine is thus nothing more than a testing laboratory for its larger application in other forthcoming targeted states, and it’s presumable that NATO’s other global proxies, specifically ISIL and its associated terrorist hordes, will now start utilizing this political technology owing to its demonstrated lethality.
In the given context, the purpose of NATO’s cyber information operations is to insinuate murderous thoughts into the minds of besieged populations, hoping that pro-Western supporters will act on their externally constructed impulses and NATO-provided targeting information to carry out pro bono assassinations. It’s a win-win for NATO either way, since even if it doesn’t manage to cull a couple free assassins, it still succeeds in constructing an atmosphere of fear and paranoia that does more to censor on-the-ground dissent than any physical media censorship ever could hope to do.
I would call it the Latin-Americanization of Europe. Europe is experiencing the kind of treatment that the US long reserved for Latin America.
And Goy-hating enemy aliens do not direct the U.S. or Poland or Kiev or anything because they do not exist except as holocaust victims allowed to take revenge.
Alexander Donetsky on how the Western aid to Ukraine vanishes into the black hole of corruption, rather than being spent for its originally intended purpose:
Western Aid to Ukraine Vanishes in Black Hole – Strategic Culture Foundation
For Russian speakers the original article:
Чёрная дыра: куда уходит западная помощь Украине? – Фонд Стратегической Культуры
“Those, who can afford giving bribes, easily avoid conscription. Aleksandr Lapko, a senior specialist-assistant in the NATO Liaison Office in Ukraine, says, «I care deeply about my country and I want to defend it. But I was facing a dilemma: Should I go to war knowing that I will have to pay more than $2,000 out of my own pocket to get the military equipment that could save my life because official corruption has left the Ministry of Defense without enough adequate supplies to issue to new recruits?”
This guy doesn’t get the New Ukrainian ethos yet. First battle you hide in a hole until it’s over and then take the stuff you need off a body — or if that doesn’t work sneak behind someone with the equipment you need and shoot or knife him, and take it. If you get caught you will be recruited to join the Pravy Sektor as a squad leader.
Halyna Mokrushyna visited the Donbass republics recently and provides her account about the “pro-Russia” terrorists, who they really are (the informed reader will already know they are not Putin’s “secret army” to help conquer the Ukraine in order to destroy “Western values”…) and how the people’s republics are faring.
The War Zone of Donetsk – Counterpunch
“… to insinuate murderous thoughts into the minds of besieged populations, hoping that pro-Western supporters will act on their externally constructed impulses and NATO-provided targeting information to carry out pro bono assassinations.”
From here to inciting ordinary people to massacre their neighbours, there is one short step, and it is easily taken. Just tell them it’s “pro bono publico” – which is the aim of all ethnic cleansing.
The Ukraine example will then be followed by Latvia, after which it will be a free-for-all in those parts of Europe where fascist/nazi sentiments exist.
And what will trigger this madness? Any false flag, so long as it has been properly prepared through the MSM to demonise a likely minority while prepping the right group of killers.
What will America do when this begins? Add fuel on the fire, provide weapons to the killers, and cover to their crimes through the media.
What will Western Europe do? Nothing. It is a morally dead continent. It will just go on with its current mindless amplification of America’s voice.

The US has tried hard to make something equivalent to Ukraine as it tries to start trouble for China.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-27/officials-warn-japan-take-more-assertive-military-role-senkakus-fall-under-us-japan-
The latest is a the Diaoyu Islands which the US purloined post-WWII and slid over to administrative control to the Japanese. This was a theft from the People’s Republic as well as from Taiwan. Both claim the islands, directly and together. The only nation that sides with Japanese claim is the trouble-maker, USA.
So, now that Japan is changing from a defense force only by Constitution to a war-mongering trouble-maker on its own imperialist mission, these islands become the test case.
How will China react?
If Chinese sentiment in the streets, homes, halls of Zhongnahai (center of government), intelligensia, military, and all its other institutions of power are any indication, I expect there will be a short, very deadly confrontation of the Chinese and Japanese militaries.
The Chinese will readily risk their progress as a developing nation to keep the Japanese from stealing these relatively useless rocks in the East China Sea.
It will be a test of national honor. And I would imagine they will throw tens of thousands of men at any aggression by Japan.
The US is hoping to scare the ASEAN nations away from China. It is hoping to seal off South Korea and the Philippines from any further deepening relations with China. Japan will be breaking bonds with China as a market (one of the goals of the US is to get Japanese investment capital out of China to begin an economic decline in the People’s Republic.)
These militaristic moves engineered by the US are purely economic in purpose. The TPP trade trap is not going well for the US. The AIIB China launched is a huge threat to hegemonic WB and IMF. The only hope for the Hegemon is TPP.
Causing China to back down or lose a conflict would be ideal for the US.
Japan and Philippines are the cannon fodder in any East Asia warfare. The US will do what it is doing in Ukraine.
This is a big test of China’s leadership. They are willing to bleed. I have no doubt, because the people have indicated their instant hatred of Abe and the imperialist right wingers in Tokyo.
The test, though, is to make the US a party to any conflict. Putin continually confronts not just the proxy, but he challenges with flourishes of his military and his Intel, NATO, willing vassals and the US itself. Flyovers, jet intercepts, missiles tests, naval challenges are all to demonstrate to the Hegemon that Russia will be all in. The Hegemon stands far in the rear, arming proxies, stoking hate, but never risking actual engagement.
China has the missiles (land-based and mobile, thus, difficult to locate) to take out carriers. This is the US NAVY’s great new fear. It cannot comfortably operate its surface fleet within 1000 miles of China.
A Chinese doctrine has to be written and sent to the US Defense Department. It should clearly state that holding the coat of the Imperialist Japanese makes it a complicit aggressor and will be targeted as such.
The only reason NATO has not moved into Ukraine is the doctrine the Russians made very clear last year that they will use tactical nukes to keep Ukraine neutral, out of NATO and correspondingly, out of EU.
China does not have to even threaten nukes as a weapon. It merely has to assure the US that ships will sink and Japan and the US have the bigger ships that will sink.
The way to stop a bully is to swing a stout bat. Chinese military has the means. They should save lives and all the setbacks from actual conflict. Make perfectly clear that the Diaoyu Islands are Chinese and the Chinese will defend their territory against any transgressor.
There is no backing down. There will be a bigger test in the South China Sea. There will be tests in Xinjiang. The US is going to throw ISIS into Pakistan-Afghanistan to disrupt the New Silk Road development and investments. The US is going to try to destabilize (it has begun) Kyrgyzstan right on China’s border. So too, it is working to generate chaos in Tajikistan, again right on China’s border.
It is far better to target your enemy (Hegemon) where he is most vulnerable (US Navy) in East Asia, and defend your nation’s interests, than to hope for enlightenment of such an enemy.
Japan rightists are drooling to recapitulate its heinous imperialist past, refusing to settle with South Korean and Chinese women used as sex slaves, refusing to admit its crimes against humanity (Unit 731, Harbin) and no or little reparations paid for its decade of ruination it heaped on Russian, North Korean and South Korean, Chinese, Burma and Vietnam, as well as Pacific island nations.
The gigantic US Navy, combined with the Japanese military, needs a stern cold shower.
China, diplomatically, has been re-approaching the loon Abe. This reminds me of Putin trying to be decent with the European vassal clowns. It gets you nowhere when you have to deal with fools. What has saved Russia is Putin’s doctrine: we don’t fear anyone and we will destroy you if you come at us. It works.
Note the words to Finland and Denmark from the Russians when these pipsqueak vassals talked about getting cozy with NATO’s missile defense system. The Russians merely told them that their nations would be targeted by Russian nuclear forces. It would only take a few warheads to obliterate them. And so it would and so it will if it comes to that.
President Xi needs to be as succinct and final with the Hegemon.
(Those little rocks in the East China Sea are a perfect place for a demonstration of Chinese will).
Nothing would sink the US economy swifter than the realization that it lost its hegemonic navy.
It already knows that could happen. China needs to prove that it will happen.
Then it won’t have to happen. And Japan can be put back into the straightjacket it earned.
Don’t be so hard on the poor Japanese. Reparations? what did they get for Hiroshima and Nagasaki? being told they deserved it. And they must love the brutal bully who did it to them. Like the woman with acid thrown in her face, having to marry her attacker and be grateful for it, because she’s so ugly now nobody else will have her.
While they have to make out what happened to them was “nothing” how can they accept anything they did may need admitting to? If they “deserved” having atomic bombs dropped on them, surely their prisoners (women and soldiers alike) “deserved” whatever happened to them? They are still, after 70 years, in the denial phase of grieving about the entire war.
@ Larchmonster445,
Q; and no or little reparations paid for its decade of ruination it heaped on Russian, North Korean and South Korean, Chinese, Burma and Vietnam, as well as Pacific island nations.
R; Japan is just, like Germany, another US colony. Like Germany, it has paid hundreds of billions in reparations to all the nations you’ve mentioned.
China’s annexing islands in the SCS and what’s FUKUS doing?
The US knows what China can and will do.
Japan is a lost cause and will end up as a little footnote on the pages of history.
Reminds me of that mystery missile off the cost of LA a few years ago…
Japanese reparations were not simply cash for crimes.
Nailing down the exact info is difficult. There’s a lot of coverup of the details.
But here’s a summary of what went down:
Japan. The original Allied policy on Japanese reparations was based on a report made in April, 1946, by Edwin J. Pauley of the United States. It called for payments to countries injured by Japan and outlined a method for dismantling Japan’s war industry. An Allied reparations committee approved this policy but was unable to agree on the amount of reparations. Claims totaled $54,000,000,000—an obviously impossible figure—of which China demanded 40 per cent and the Philippines 15 per cent.
When it became clear that the reparations committee was making no progress, the United States authorized General Douglas MacArthur, Allied military commander in Japan, to make “interim” payments. Under this program, Japan delivered industrial equipment worth $40,000,000 to China, the Philippines, Great Britain, and the Netherlands. In addition, Japanese assets in Allied countries—worth more than $3,000,000,000—were taken over as reparations.
Meanwhile, the United States had reversed its policy. Instead of reducing Japan’s industrial might, the United States decided it was necessary to strengthen the conquered country’s economy. Since continued reparations payments would have the opposite effect, the United States ended the program of interim reparations in 1949.
Japan signed a peace treaty with 49 nations, including the United States, in 1952. One provision of the treaty stated that Japan was to negotiate with Allied countries desiring reparations. Under this provision, Japan agreed to pay, over a period of years, reparations totaling $1,190,000,000 to Burma, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand. Most of these reparations were to be paid in goods, services, and investments.
In other words, Japan’s industrial and financial comeback was the goal, not penalization.
China has insisted that it took little reparations and does not want it. It wants sincere regret and peaceful relations, which of course, is not US inspired policy and certainly the present government of Abe rejects for Japan’s foreign policy.
Abe has made it a regular item on his schedule to go to the Shrine of the war criminals and honor them with his repetitious prayers.
There is a list of nations that received indemnity and grants and only the big nations of the West taking dollars (listed in Yen). What went on was Japan invested in the countries it helped destroy.
That’s like burning down your neighbor’s house, then loaning him the money to rebuild and renting the new house to him. That is not reparations.
“That’s like burning down your neighbor’s house, then loaning him the money to rebuild and renting the new house to him. That is not reparations.”
This remind me of another such incidents involving former Axis power and USA,namely Germany’s war reparations toward Yugoslavia.
Tito-Brandt deal. Tito agreed with Willy to take money that is to be paid in the name of war reparation-as a loan. Disgusting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_reparations_towards_Yugoslavia
@ Larchmonster445,
Q; Abe has made it a regular item on his schedule to go to the Shrine of the war criminals and honor them with his repetitious prayers.
R; Abe [and all PMs] goes to the Yasukuni shrine.
Yasukuni Shrine (靖国神社 or 靖國神社 Yasukuni Jinja) is a Shinto shrine in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. It was founded by Emperor Meiji and commemorates anyone who had died in service of the Empire of Japan, which existed from the Meiji Restoration of 1868 until the nation was renamed during the Allied occupation in 1947.[1] The shrine’s purpose has been expanded over the years to include those who died in the wars involving Japan spanning from the entire Meiji and Taishō period, and lesser part of the Shōwa period.[2]
The shrine now lists the names, origins, birthdates, and places of death of 2,466,532 men, women and children, including 1,068 war criminals; 14 of whom are considered A-Class, leading to controversies. The Honden shrine commemorates anyone who died on behalf of the empire, including not only soldiers, relief workers, factory workers, and other citizens, but also those not of Japanese ethnicity such as Taiwanese and Koreans who served Japan.
When war criminals like ‘W’ or ‘Teflon Tony’ walk away scot-free, I fail to be upset at Abe’s visits to a shrine, commemorating all the dead…

War reparations after WWI were a primary cause of WWII by sinking the German economy and enabling the rise of Hitler. The rise of Imperial Japan was similarly propelled by a sense of injustice by the West failing to respect Japan for the world power she was following the Sino-Japanese war in 1895.
Post World War II policy by the Allies, led by the US, was to instead quickly rebuild and reintegrate Germany and Japan into the world economy instead of punishing the countries and their people with a harsh peace (aside from the severing of significant amounts of their territory and expellign the Germans Japanese living there – primarily at the insistence of Stalin – Prussia, Pommerania Silesia, Taiwan, Korea, Sakhalin). This policy direction has proven to be a policy of enduring peace in Asia and Europe, to the contrary of what was experienced following WWI, and it also occasioned the co-development of the countries around Japan and Germany lead by German and Japanese investment once they had themselves recovered. I fail to see how anyone could object to the rise of Asian prosperity in Korea, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, and elsewhere that was lead by Japanese investment from around 1960 onwards, or the peaceful integration of Europe in contrast to the incessant wars and revolutions stretching back a millenia from 1945.
Germany had to pay reparations to Russia after WW2 — German industry was dismantled and carted off to Russia and the factories rebuilt there.
USA then went into Germany (and the rest of Europe) with the Marshall Plan, letting them rebuild with more modern factories. This was done along the lines since continued by the IMF and World Bank — they were given loans and had to spend them on US equipment, then given more loans to repay the first ones (although some were grants). Germany has not been a sovereign nation ever since. They still have as “Constitution” the Basic Law forced on them by the Allies after the war.
If we’re demanding reparations, let the USA start with reparation for nuking Japan. Let it continue with rebuilding EVERY country they have bombed since that big war.
“Japan is a lost cause and will end up as a little footnote on the pages of history.”
Don’t be silly, Japan’s contributions to humanity are incomparable. The Japanese have the highest average IQ of all nations. Japan resisted Empire (at that time in the form of Jesuit Christianity) more than any other nation. But like Germany, Japan became 100% US-colony right after WWII. Once you are in a US-Nazi prison camp there is no easy way out, as the Ukrainians are discovering now.
Japan will free itself. Earlier or later. And the world will be a better place for it.
Larchmonter:
The Chinese and Taiwanese claim to the Diaoyu Islands is diplomatically preposterous. China surrendered the islands to Japan in 1895 by formal treaty. Taiwan was not formally surrendered back to China until the Treaty of Taipei in 1952. The Treaty of Taipei did not include the Diaoyu Islands, which were left in the Ryukyu military government of the United States. As the victorious military power, it was up to the United States to implement a new civilian government, which was done in 1972 when the entire Ryukyu chain was returned to Japanese civil administration it had been under prior to 1945.
There is nothing inherent in an uninhabited rock which entitles the discoverer to sovereignty after territorial control has been shifted by treaty. Otherwise, the United States would still have a claim to Wrangell Island in Russia, which was claimed for the United States by John Muir during the cruise of the USS Corwin and subsequently inhabited by US fishermen, but lost in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution. Similarly, the loss of a military conflict does not entitle the victorious power to reclaim prior territorial losses to the loser unless agreed to by both the warring parties through a formal treaty. The examples of this are numerous and begin prominently with the treatment accorded French gains in Alsace and Lorraine after the defeat of Napoleon in 1815.
Andrew,
The humiliation period the Chinese officially declare is personified by the invasions and defeats of the first Sino-Japanese war and the loss of control China suffered. The victory China enabled over Japan (the KMT sacrificed a million men in behalf of US strategy) resulted in additional humiliation post war with these little rock island being the significant final slap (administered by the US in behalf of the unrepentant Japanese. Taiwan feels the same as the Mainland.
And if you read the material the Chinese have produced for the world to see, their claim is solid. They should have the islands.
Will they fight? That is to be determined by Japanese provocation alone. The Chinese are disposed to wait a century to actually get the islands.
What I see is the US using the pretext that Japan has some inherent ownership and duty to possess the islands as a device to demonize Chinese reaction to Japanese provocation.
The reality of East Asia is Japan has no friends. It has useful tool like Philippines and the hegemonic US Navy for cover.
The US devised this cluster of rocks as the one point of conflict when it made certain Japan would be its vassal to begin the containment of the rising China, which was inevitable. It is playing that card it kept in the back pocket.
Here is a good backgrounder on the facts. The key date of US manipulation is 1972. That is when things went into force for Japan to administer.
A person can claim China lost them in the first Sino-Japan war ending, but they lost to a hegemonic move in 1971-72 that is crystal clear.
Let’s see if all those billions of dollars of Japanese investment in China suffer. Their business profits certainly have, and tourism from China is markedly off during the last few years.
Japan is losing big in its transparent militarism and desire to engage as regional thug.
Its own population does not support the policies. Japanese people want peace, good neighborliness and prosperity again. Abe is taking them toward hell. Porky with a navy and air force.
Relax, China will do no such thing. The Chinese leaders are not war-mongers, they are much more cool headed than the general Chinese populace. If the populace gets too excited, they will even clamp down on expressions of nationalist cries of protest as much as possible, without getting themselves overthrown!
Fact is the Chinese leaders are only interested in advancing as much of their country as possible without getting into wars. They know through bitter experiences nobody really win in wars.That’s why despite all the rhetoric over Taiwan, Diaoyu islands, etc, there is no shooting wars. Of course, accidents can happen.
@Larchmonter
It’s not going to happen. China will not militarily attack Japan nor will Japan so something equally reckless. This is the China that patiently waited for the British lease on Hong Kong to expire before taking it back even though Mao had the means to crush the British and take it by force. The leadership in China will calculate gains and losses before ever making a decision based on emotion.
BTW as much as some people (maybe out of frustration and anger) want to put the horse before the applecart: just as the US Navy is by far the most powerful navy on the planet, the Japanese Navy is head and shoulders the most advanced navy in Asia and 2nd most powerful in the western alliance. On top of this the quality of the Japanese navy in several tiers above China’s in both equipment and operational experience. The Chinese are very bright and they fully understand this reality. Time is on China’s side and not on Japan’s side. Why would China prematurely extend themselves when it’s in their interest to wait as Japan slowly implodes both demographically and economically (Japan has the single worst govt debt problem in the world 240% of GDP, even worse than the US which is 108% to GDP).
Thanks for that.
Larchmonter has fallen for the war-mongering narrative pushed by the Financial cartel as far China-Japan relations are concerned. A China-Japan confrontation serves only the US-Nazis and nobody else.
Japan knows the have to jump ship if they don’t want to go down with the USA. When the dollar goes !pop! and the US-army has to start evacuating or probably just abandoning hundreds of US-bases all o for lack of cash and fuel, the Japanese will ready for some fine action.
Cyberwarefare: for what it is worth a comment by Paul Craig Roberts on the increasing insanity of the Western leaders:
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/04/27/insanity-grips-western-world-paul-craig-roberts/
The article’s bottom line:
(actually putting aside my personal annoyance at the expectation of morality from the immoral/amoral world of geopolitics by the author and his attendant indignation, the article is quite well written)….. My reading of the implication that the author is really exposing is as follows:
NATO supported (and hosted?) Web portal incites murder which is a war crime with no statute of limitations; meaning any Western individual involved in aiding and abetting in this project can (probably will) be held to account in the coming decades. Said IT contractors, military personnel, commanders, etc can be tried in a civilian criminal court for incitement to murder and 1st-degree premeditated murder.
Isn’t it kind of stupid for [allegedly] NATO people to leave such a clear paper trail of evidence (electronic paper-trail) pointing to very specific individuals in the foreign-policy/defense hierarchy (whose schedules, names, locations and areas of responsibility are matters of record, and therefore the individuals themselves clearly identifiable in a future court of law)?
It seems to me that someone in the NATO bureaucracy should be using better legal council. I can’t imagine self-protecting bureaucrats imposing such a liability on their future freedom and finances by exposes themselves like this. Given the self-preservation instinct of most bureaucrats (military, intelligence or otherwise), I find it this aspect of the story hard to believe; sure they may be incompetent at their jobs, but they’re experts at covering their own asses, not taking risks, and especially not being identifiable as a responsible party (i.e. which they currently are due to the overt public paper-trails that are part and parcel of the internet), – So why would they allow such an overt operation that will definitely open them up, personally, to unstoppable criminal investigations in the coming decades?
The direct NATO connect does seem a bit difficult to believe, only because it would imply the most extreme level of incompetence that one can imagine from liability averse career OECD government workers.
@Saibot
Thank you. So no direct linkage to the NATO cyber unit: Now that makes more sense.
You can’t count on a bureaucrat to be competent at their job (lucky when you have one that is good at their job), but you sure can count on them to be competent at covering their own ass and avoiding responsibility – it’s the one area that they’re really diligent about.
QED.
It seems that the original RT report was not entirely correct, since it has been updated:
It’s reassuring to see that RT cares about the truth (at least sometimes).
You might want to update your post accordingly.
Here’s the link to Chinese position on the history:
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2014-04/25/content_17465180.htm
That article doesn’t say anything I didn’t already mention. The US – the conquering military power – chose to include these islands in the Ryukyu Island administration post war instead of handing them to Taiwan, and then handed back the Ryukyu’s and the islands to Japan. Taiwan/China do not have an inherent right to the islands because they ceded them in 1895 by treaty to Japan. In the same way, the US could have rejected retroceding Taiwan to China. There wasn’t any more obligation here than there was to Italy at Versailles to hand over Fiume and Dalmatia to her per the nebulous promises made in 1915. Many countries were promised many things during WWII and not all of them came to pass – for example the return of Kresy Poland to the Polish state or the return of Transcarpathia to Czechoslovakia.
As I noted, the precedent of Wrangell Island is certainly relevant here. China and Japan could certainly move towards a peaceful resolution like the Norwegian/Russian condominium in Spitsbergen which respects Norwegian sovereignty and grants Russia various economic and travel rights.
Does your sympathy for China here include any sympathy for Japan’s position regarding the Southern Kurile Islands, which she claims are occupied by Russia?
Mr. Korybko suggests that this nasty practice “owes its inspiration to none other than the Nazi regime”. While that’s rhetorically powerful, and certainly fits well with the Nazi underpinnings of the Kiev government, I don’t think there’s much connection there. The link on “Nazi” is to an article that seems to be about members of the public denouncing people to the authorities, something that’s been found in basically every successful repressive regime. This actually seems to be almost the reverse–people with links to authority denouncing nominated targets of repression, for enthusiastic members of the public to do the dirty work of killing, while the actual government can wash its hands.
The website is a NATO creation, and NATO is basically American-dominated. And the US was well described by Gore Vidal as the “United States of Amnesia”. I suspect the inspiration is not historical, because Americans pay no attention to history. Rather, the parallels I see are to modern American right wing “grassroots” websites, such as those of militia-related or fanatically anti-abortion groups. Such sites have made a practice of posting identities of opponents, with gunsights or whatever, coming as close to calling for assassination as they can manage without actually being jailed for conspiracy to commit murder. Some of these people, such as abortion doctors, have then actually been assassinated, although not very many. Overall in the US this sort of site have not been hugely successful at actually inciting death, although they have had somewhat more success in creating an atmosphere of fear. But in a lawless place like Banderist Ukraine where the authorities (such as they are) nod and wink at the killing of political opponents and there is an ample supply of violent paramilitary groups, this sort of technique of calling attention to the enemies of the violent political movement is far more effective.
Have Russia bought secret NATO base in Norway?
https://versia.ru/norvegiya-prodala-rossii-sekretnuyu-bazu-nato
According to this (in English) the secret underground navy base reachable through a tunnel was sold to a private business, BUT they now has Russian research ships using it.

This use of “informal” death squad terror is nothing new in the zionazi/nazi west. In fact, it was used extensively against “Reds” in the capitalist west, even before the zionazi and nazi scams were invented by the oligarch’s policy wonks. And before the “Reds”, the religious persecutions in Europe and their colonies used similar techniques to quell dissent.
It’s good to expose these terror ops. Exposure makes it harder for the zionazi propaganda machine to sell them. This can lead to public rejection of them, as during the Vietnam war crime.
