This is hands-down the most prolific liar I’ve ever seen. She just lies & lies & lies, constantly & without consequence. Her lies are immediately debunked but invariably gets tens of thousands of retweets regardless

When you serve the interest of empire, the rules are different:
Lesia Vasylenko seems to lie compulsively. Her lie about Sasha Zdanovych is a perfect example, bc if confirmed, it’s tragic enough on its own.

They say he fled Vyshgorod—but she concocted a story that he fled Bucha instead, presumably believing she’d get more attention that way.
Vasylenko is rewarded for her performances with frequent headlines from an admiring & entirely credulous western press. With demand at an all-time high, she’s an ideal vector for spreading manufactured anti-Russia bullshit—Nayirah, Bana Al-Abed & Yeonmi Park all rolled into one.
Can’t make this up—Lesia’s father, Volodymyr Vasylenko, wasn’t just the Ukrainian Ambassador to NATO & the EU, he was a Rep on the UN Human Rights Council & sat on the “international tribunal” that saw Milosevic die in The Hague & openly said it wouldn’t prosecute NATO nationals.
In 2017, Volodymyr Vasylenko—father of Ukrainian MP & serial fabulist @lesiavasylenko—insisted that successful war crimes prosecutions of Russian soldiers (like he did to the Serbs) would be dependent “on whether the Ukrainian side will manage to furnish the convincing evidence.”
To give you a sense for the family legal philosophy, in the same interview the elder Vasylenko claims “there was no bias against defendants on the basis of their ethnicity” in a tribunal that convicted 0 NATO nationals and 70% Serbs

Guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

Hondurans voting in today’s presidential election face an unprecedented range of foreign efforts to meddle in their democratic process, thanks to the US government and its preferred local proxies, the National Party.

🧵A brief rundown on the plots to steal the Honduran election: Image
The most obvious effort to rig the Honduran election has come via Trump’s statements demanding voters cast their ballots for Tito Asfura.

Throughout the race, Asfura sought to distance himself from the previous National Party candidate, Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was convicted of conspiring with his brother and El Chapo’s Sinaloa cartel to smuggle 400 tons of coke into the US last year.

This week, those efforts unraveled when Trump threatened to withhold US support for Honduras if Asfura isn’t elected, while simultaneously announcing he was pardoning Hernandez, who he claimed had been “treated very unfairly.”Image
Trump has presented no evidence that Hernandez’s trial was biased in any way, nor has he explained how the then-president of Honduras could have been unaware of the massive cocaine trafficking conspiracy which his own brother – Tony Hernandez – was indicted for by Trump’s Department of Justice.Image

If you were surprised to find out Cory Booker had a rabbi, wait til you find out who it is Image
Two best buds united by destiny, interest in Judaism, and an unwavering lust for power.

In the last photo, it appears our Director of National Intelligence joined them in 2013. Image

The 20+ year bromance apparently ended in the mid 2010s due to what Shmuley claimed was Booker’s support for the Iran nuclear deal and what Booker claimed was Shmuley’s relentless self-promotion. Image

BREAKING: Israeli outlet Haaretz has blatantly plagiarized my post about Sky News editing their video on the Amsterdam riots, lifting a number of sentences word-for-word and only slightly revising the rest.

A side-by-side analysis shows at least five paragraphs of the Haaretz article were directly taken from my social media profile and republished with just a handful of minor edits.

The plagiarist in question is Rachel Fink — the same Rachel Fink who wrote a hit piece about me in Haaretz in June, based on a smear job by the Washington Post which was so shoddily-written that its very first sentence was immediately retracted.

Her previous piece, labeling us a “fringe news site,” was merely Haaretz’s latest attack on myself and The Grayzone. Last November, the outlet labeled editor-in-chief @MaxBlumenthal a “conspiracy theorist” after he pointed out that the Israeli government killed large number of Israeli civilians in October — a ‘conspiracy theory’ which Haaretz itself went on to confirm two weeks later.

That same month, another Haaretz piece accused our top editor of carrying out a “masterclass in manipulation,” claiming Blumenthal “has a history of denying war crimes, so it's no surprise he provided a piece that very selectively uses facts, includes purposely edited quotes to change their meaning and grossly plays down the atrocities against Israelis.”

Given their long history of disparaging myself, Max Blumenthal, and The Grayzone in general, they were apparently unable to publicly credit a Grayzone employee. So they did the next best thing: shamelessly plagiarize our work and pass it off as their own.

The blatant forgery of my writing by Haaretz is pathetic — and likely illegal — but ultimately unsurprising. It does, however, raise the crucial question: is there anything Israelis won’t steal?Image
Image
Please feel free to pass along your questions and comments to the plagiarist in question, @RachelSFink

Suggested inquiries include:

- “Why did you plagiarize a journalist you viciously attacked just six months ago?”

- “At what point did you stop considering Grayzone journalists “fringe” and start deciding to rip off their work?”

- “Have you no shame? How do you sleep at night?”

Turns out “the free encyclopedia anyone can edit” is actually controlled opposition that no one can touch Image
Wikipedia: “You are not allowed to cite The Grayzone”

Also Wikipedia: “…Unless you’re disparaging The Grayzone.”

In unrelated news, here’s a 2010 article about the “two Israeli groups seeking to gain the upper hand in the online debate [who] have launched a course in “Zionist editing” for Wikipedia, the online reference site.”
