Scenes in central Belgrade tonight as the pro-NATO, pro-EU "Serbia Against Violence" coalition (who everyone here hates, and lost the election badly fair and square) demonstrate their enduring commitment to peace and democracy by...trying to incite a violent insurrection.
This is despite the US ambassador recognising Vucic's win. If this was happening in Washington DC, everyone involved in the nonsense would be in jail. For a very long time. As it stands, ever-tolerant and respectful Serbia will just let the NED-funded moronicity slide.
Some protesters waved EU flags (30% public support for joining, c/o Western-funded polls). Some waved flags bearing the logo of Otpor!, locally hated CIA assets who helped bring down Milosevic. Serbia Against Violence just made even more people hate them. Genius.

Dragan Bjelogrlić, actor, and one of Serbia Against Violence's most prominent members, recently gave an interview in which he blamed the party's loss on stupid peasants living outside Belgrade refusing to vote for them. Which went down well...

A prominent Serbia Against Violence activist has openly admitted staging video footage of pro-government electoral fraud, which was reported on as authentic by compliant media locally. The party *undoubtedly* engaged in fraud for their own benefit.
Image
Image
Of course some protesters will have legitimate grievances. As Otpor! amply demonstrated, legitimate grievances are evilly exploited by Western powers for malign purposes. Which is precisely why most Serbs completely reject the would-be insurrectionists. They know the score.
Also important to note the Serbian government, contrary to its universal characterisation in the Western media, is...pro-Western. The country has much, much closer political, economic, military and diplomatic ties with the EU/US than Russia. Image
@jatamanssi @Elkinsianna By contrast, I've been violently assaulted and arrested by UK police for quite literally being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and even not having ID (despite this theoretically not being a crime in the UK).

It's NATO's 75th anniversary, so I visited beautiful Tasmajdan park to pay my respects to Milica, a bronze statue of a three year old girl killed in April 1999 by an alliance bombing raid. She was one of 89 children killed during NATO's criminal destruction of Yugoslavia. Image
Old enough to remember the jingoistic tubthumping in the British media, the claims NATO was crushing Milosevic with "precision" strikes, the calls for greater aggression. Meanwhile innocent people were dying and lives being destroying for *nothing*.

Never forgive. Never forget. Image
Publicly, NATO chiefs and media lackeys praised the bombing's effectiveness. Privately, British officials lamented that the campaign was achieving nothing, and the targets being struck were purely symbolic, for propaganda reasons. Civilian casualties were judged "worth the cost".

🧵: No list of 'journalists' complicit in Julian Assange's torture and persecution by the Empire could be complete without Carole Cadwalladr. Her rap sheet is extensive as it is shameful, so we'll focus on the worst example, published in April 2017...

theguardian.com/politics/2017/…
In March 2017, Nigel Farage visited Ecuadorian Embassy, trying to interview Julian Assange for @LBC. His request was denied. Cadwalladr, with some help from a "highly placed contact with links to US intelligence", spun this into a sinister effort to pass info from JA to Trump.

Image
Image
Image
@LBC Cadwalladr admits this totally bogus story was fed to her by a "confidential source in the US". Presumably the same source quoted in the article. That source being the CIA. As has now been amply confirmed, the CIA was spying on Assange's every word/move in the Embassy all along.

🧵: With Julian free, time to name and shame 'journalists' who threw him under the bus. Exhibit A, @AyoCaesar. In brief, she effectively justified his incarceration on the bogus grounds women were "waiting to have their day in court" against him:

novaramedia.com/2019/04/15/jul…
'Assange is a rapist' psyop most devastatingly effective character assassination in history. People cheered his incarceration in Belmarsh, smearing his supporters as rape apologists. Fuck you all, from the bottom of my heart. @CaitOz has the receipts:

caityjohnstone.medium.com/assange-smear-…
@caitoz Anyway, back to @AyoCaesar's shameful AIDS-tier drivel. She claimed Julian's supporters believed "men who are heroes cannot possibly be creeps" when in reality he "has a case to answer." He didn't. According to Swedish prosecutors and his own accusers (!!!) he didn't.

🧵: Pretty wild. Georgia now restoring diplomatic relations with Russia, completely cut off by Tbilisi following August 2008 war. Empire spent vast sums and many years trying to turn country into a colony. They've completely fucked that all by sanctioning the Georgian government. Image
Often said NED-orchestrated 2003 Rose Revolution was "anti-Russian" in nature. Yet, displaced Eduard Shevardnadze was a close US ally. Georgia was second-largest recipient of aid behind Israel. They got bored of him though, so installed a new puppet.

mintpressnews.com/coup-cia-forei…
The EU and US bullying, threats and harassment of fairly elected Georgian politicians for passing legislation has not gone down well with large swaths of the public. This is a country with streets named after modern day Western leaders. A grand imperial project is now in ashes! Image

You probably haven't heard, but the ICJ today threw out almost all the case brought against Russia by Ukraine over the invasion.

"Clearly a victory for Russia" France 24 reports. Yeah, which is why the Western media is saying *nothing* about it.

This is hugely significant because effectively, Ukraine and its Western backers poured enormous time, energy, and money into proving everything Western media/governments were saying about the Maidan government's brutal Donbas crackdown for eight years was true. And they failed.
Last year, in another eerily unnoticed bombshell, a UN commission specifically set up to prove "genocide" in Ukraine ruled there was none. Ukraine had teams of US and British lawyers and Western-funded orgs trying to unearth evidence of genocide. And they found fuck all. Image

🧵: As Britain appears to be preparing for World War III, without any ability to fight it whatsoever, worth reflecting on how for years Britain has laboured under the delusion that succeeding at propaganda means conflicts can still be won, even if the "physical contest" can't.
Image
Image
Those grabs are from a 2010 British Ministry of Defence report. The Ministry of Defence regularly publishes little-known projections of “strategic trends” it foresees globally in decades to come. You can find out more in my investigation here:

Ultimate intended audience for British state propaganda is, of course, British citizens. Many millions - including those who consider themselves dissidents - are convinced Britain is powerful, free, and just. Major victory, because objective reality couldn't be more different.
