Human Rights Watch Charges Russia But Not America with War-Censorship

Illustrative Image

Written by Eric Zuesse

On February 28th, Human Rights Watch (HRW) headlined “With War, Censorship Reaches New Heights”, and reported only against this censorship as practiced in Russia, as-if it were not also being done in America. The only even mention of its being practiced in America was in the second — the subordinate — clause of their sentence “Roskomnadzor announced that it would partially restrict access to Facebook in Russia, in retaliation for Meta, Facebook’s parent company, blocking four Russian state media accounts.” In other words: only implicitly — not at all explicitly — did HRW so much as even acknowledge — in that thousand-word-long article — that Russia’s Government was acting in response to the (CIA-affiliated) U.S. company Meta’s “blocking four Russian state media accounts,” or to any of the many other U.S.-Government anti-Russia censorship operations. Furthermore, any keen reader of that lone sentence would also immediately recognize that for (the CIA-front firm) Meta to have been “blocking four Russian state media accounts” was more severe censorship than was for the Russian Government to have been “partially restrict[ing] access to Facebook in Russia” — in other words: Russia’s response was actually milder than was the censorship that it was responding to. However, any regular fool who would be reading HRW’s propaganda-piece would come away from it thinking that Russia is a dictatorship, and that America is not. (America certainly IS.)

Actually, the U.S. Government routinely does censor out the most of the important facts — eliminates such facts virtually altogether, from its media’s international ‘news’-reporting, as it did, for example, regarding “Saddam’s WMD” in preparation for the subsequent American invasion, conquest, and occupation of Iraq; and such as it did regarding America’s bloody coup, conquest, and continuing control over Ukraine, by means of the coup-operation that U.S. President Barack Obama started planning in 2011, and successfully carried-out during February 2014 in Kiev Ukraine — and which bloody coup all of America’s CIA-controlled ‘news’-media reported as-if it had been instead a “democratic revolution” there. (It was anything but  that.)

HRW itself had been started in 1978, with backing from mainly American billionaires, and was founded by Robert L. Bernstein and Aryeh Neier in New York City. Its real mission was to condemn the Soviet Union’s violations of human rights, but when the Soviet Union dissolved and ended its communism in 1991, HRW continued on as being a propaganda-organization against Russia and countries that aren’t hostile to Russia. It became especially heavily financed by the virulently anti-Russian U.S. billionaire George Soros and by many other neoconservative Democratic Party financial backers and their ‘charitable’ foundations. Julian Assange’s article, “Google Is Not What It Seems” includes an extensive passage about HRW, working in 2011, helping Google, in conjunction with Hillary Clinton’s U.S. State Department, to prepare the overthrow and replacement of Ukraine’s democratically elected President, so as to put into place on Russia’s doorstep, a rabidly anti-Russian regime there, which would then be followed by that new Ukrainian regime’s ethnically cleansing its Donbass region, which had voted 90% for that President whom Obama had overthrown, so as to get rid of those voters, in order to enable Ukraine in the future to elect rabidly anti-Russian leaders, and thereby to be a ‘democratic’ country that hates Russians and that just happens to be under a 7-minute flight-time for U.S. missiles which would be launched from there to hit Moscow.

For some reason, many people have noticed recently that whenever they are trying to obtain news from any of the relatively few sites that report favorably about Russia’s international policies, they get a supposed warning such as “Checking your browser before accessing [the given site]. This process is automatic. Your browser will redirect to your requested content shortly. Please allow up to 5 seconds…” and that wait turns out to be interminable. Another con that they use is “This page is not available on the web because of server error.” Another is “This web property is not accessible via this address.” Always, the message is coming from some private contractor, not from the U.S. Government directly, and the contractor is a provider of “DDoS protection” — it “secures websites, applications, and entire networks while ensuring the performance of legitimate traffic is not compromised.” But, actually, these denial-of-service messages have skyrocketed just now after the U.S. regime responded to the Russian Government’s response to the U.S. Government’s having finally decided to do a blitz-invasion of its former Donbass region. Russia’s Government finally decided that if it wouldn’t immediately invade Ukraine, but would instead wait for Ukraine’s blitz-invasion of Donbass, then tens of thousands of Donbass residents would be slaughtered before Russia would be able to overcome and to halt that invasion; so, Russia suddenly reversed its Plan A, and immediately proceeded into its Plan B — an invasion of Ukraine itself. And that’s why the U.S. regime has stepped up from what it had been doing, such as this and this, to a broadscale close-down of sites that contradict U.S. propaganda.

Human Rights Watch (like so many others of its type) is a U.S.-and-allied-billionaires-funded propaganda organization to ‘justify’ U.S.-and-allied wars against their targeted countries.

Though this article is entirely history, it is also news in the U.S.-and-allied countries, because none of this history has been widely reported here. Consequently, this article includes links in order for readers who haven’t known any of this, to be able to see what the source-documents, and sources-videos, the evidence, for it are. This article is being submitted to all U.S.-and-allied media, in order finally to enable the residents in America and allied countries to learn this history, so as never to repeat it yet again.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s next book (soon to be published) will be AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change. It’s about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.

Das Gerücht mit den 7 Mobilen Krematorien im Donbass kommt vom SBU der Ukraine.

HRW has always been known as a mouthpiece for propaganda. How many NGOs from western countries are not? How many are nothing but spy or covert ops fronts? If you see a report from an NGO on TV, both the report and NGO are suspect. They do not allow the truth on the air, unless it serves their purposes. Thank you , Bill Casey.

I often see people write “West is playing checkers, Russia is playing chess.” West is in fact playing chess but without rules and adding new rules.

It just remains Disney to sanction Russia then its everyone.

Its impossible to win against such enemy. Russia is alone Vs many countries. Today maybe you read this, the next day Russia maybe is nuked from no where. Thats US/West style.

Russia lost the Press war and they are still waging war with respect of lifes. In turn they have high amounts of Russian casualties but still getting blamed like they have bombed Ukraina to the ground. It makes no sence.

Russia should “libertate” Ukraina the US style. Which is bomb it to the ground, then advance.

People have to start rise up against their goverment, even if it is one person, do as much damage as possible.

Russia, is so not on her own, just seems like that. The West might be winning the propaganda war, how many, only 86 out of 193 members of the UN are supporting the UN. Whilst the rest are staying out of it or supporting Russia. India and China are not buying into the Western Media Spin. NATO members are not sending their Forces, apart from the US, UK and Poland and how many of them are showing eagerness for a full scale war with Russia?

Look for a video by Mahathir Mohamad, former Prime Minister of Malaysia, “the jews rule the world by proxy” in which he states that the jews invented human rights as a weapon of psychological warfare. Robert Bernstein and Aryeh Neier, founders of Human Rights Watch, are both jewish.

AM Hants

Soros funds many Human Rights Groups, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.

AM Hants

Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International are both Soros backed NGOs and 100% biased.

CDM

Inhuman Bullshit Watch. More CIA whores masquerading as NGO.

And of course Nato commanders were brought to justice for all the war crimes they carried out in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yugoslavia etc.

While the empowered Comedian puppet president with a Napoleon Bonaparte grandiose dreams, now that his narcissism had went up through his head, there are less chances of neutrality and peace treaties, but he made sure from the first days of the wars to take his family out of dangers and send them very far away to safety and he and his commanders of western puppets are hiding in bunkers but meanwhile he is telling the Ukrainian people to stand and fight the enemy with molotov cocktails, pistols and rocks.So much evil are upon the Ukrainian people from the west is very sad. Many citizens are not allow by the good and nice AZOV fake Nazi Battalion of pay assassins and mercenaries of their Soros, Rothschild, Bilderberg gang of satanic jooish gang and world lords and the Ukrainian forces to leave the conflict zones, so they will be use as human shields later on, as pieces of blackmail and martyrs for their own gain. America and the west are the evil Empire who really and secretly did crated and provoked this crisis and forced Russia to take this despair actions and steps. The Ukrainian people can’t be so blind and naive and not realize they are been use like pawns by their own government of western puppets and armed forces.

the end

I propose you try out eating MSM propaganda shit for 8 years and nothing else. See what happens…
