Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: US and UK Want RT International Silenced US and UK Want RT International Silenced by Stephen Lendman America, Britain and their rogue partners want total control over information dissemination, alternative voices silenced - things headed incrementally in this direction. A major false flag ahead may rip the mask off their Machiavellian intentions entirely, a death blow for fundamental freedoms following - most people none the wiser, foolishly believing rights lost are a small sacrifice for greater security, not realizing both are lost once the trap is sprung. UK-controlled NatWest Bank didn’t close RT’s accounts of its own volition. It obeyed government orders, likely a joint US/British decision. Sergey Lavrov weighed in, saying “(i)t’s as clear as day that this decision was not made by” NatWest. And not any other bank. (Financial institutions) don’t make such decisions on their own” - not when their actions have geopolitical implications. Without elaborating on how Russia may respond, Lavrov added it’s not wise to “treat others the way you don’t wish to be treated yourself.” His Foreign Minister separately called “squeezing alternative voices out of the UK media space” by its government violates Britain’s obligation to preserve media freedom as a fundamental human right under the 1975 Helsinki Accords, stating: Thirty-five signatories, including all European nations, America and Canada “will respect human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of thought, conscience, religion or belief, for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion.” “They will promote and encourage the effective exercise of civil, political, economic, social, cultural and other rights and freedoms all of which derive from the inherent dignity of the human person and are essential for his free and full development.” They’ll “recognize the universal significance of human rights and fundamental freedoms, respect for which is an essential factor for the peace, justice and well-being necessary to ensure the development of friendly relations and co-operation among themselves as among all States…” Citing no sources, The Times of London said Moscow threatened to close the BBC’s accounts in retaliation for NatWest’s action. Of greatest concern is where all this may be heading. Totalitarian societies ban media freedom and all others. Is this what Western societies intend? America and most others already are police states. Do they plan eliminating scant remaining freedoms altogether? Each shot across the bow brings us one step closer, maybe the final coup de grace coming sooner than imagined. Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago. He can be reached at lendmanstephen@sbcglobal.net.
