Key corruption index sees Ukraine improve, Russia worsen in 2023

After the #EuroMaidan Revolution ousted pro-Kremlin President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014, Ukraine launched extensive but challenging #anti-corruption efforts.

According to the recently published index that includes 180 countries, Ukraine went from the 144th least corrupt country in 2013 to 104th last year. It has also improved its score from 25 points to 36 over this period, with the higher number signifying less corruption.

In comparison, Russia's ranking went from the 127th least corrupt country in 2013 to 141st 10 years later, while its score dropped from 28 to 26. In 2022, Russia ranked 137th with a score of 28.

The #NeoCons are firmly behind the #Ukraine agenda. They were actively involved in the US Sponsored 2014 #EuroMaidan Coup d’état, which was conducive “in the name of Western democracy” to a “regime change”: namely the instatement of a #Neo-Nazi puppet government in Kiev.

US-NATO is firmly embedded in the Kiev regime’s Neo-Nazi project the objective of which is to destroy Ukraine as well wage war on Russia.

The Project for the New American Century (PNAC) dominates US foreign policy on behalf of powerful financial interests.

The PNAC dispels the planning of “consecutive” military operations: it describes:

America’s “Long War” as follows:

“fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous major theater wars”

The conduct of “Simultaneous Theater Wars” is the backbone of America’s hegemonic Agenda.

It’s a project of global warfare. The PNAC controlled by the NeoCons also dispels the holding of real peace negotiations.

There is a hidden agenda behind this war.

Ukraine was slated to be destroyed as a sovereign country and eventually privatized.

Sabotage of the Kiev-Moscow March 2022 Peace Agreement in Istanbul. The End Game Is the Destruction and Privatization of Ukraine

Peace negotiations were carried out in early March in Istanbul. A draft agreement was signed. It was immediately the object of sabotage by Washington.

An interesting detail: Gunther #Fehlinger, in addition to being the president of a high-level European committee within NATO, is also one of the political mentors advocating for the #Euromaidan movement that took place in #Ukraine in 2014.

In one of his articles, he advocates for a mobilization of the color revolution in Ukraine against Russian interests:

"The Euromaidan, or Revolution of Dignity, showed a clear desire expressed by Ukrainians to be part of the common European family. However, eight years on, Ukraine is yet to receive clear EU membership prospects. Is it because Ukraine has been doing its European integration 'homework' too slowly or is it more a matter of the #EU and its member states?"

For those who think he is just a simple European politician, we at the channel want to alert you: he is not, and he is a longstanding and highly significant member of European political relations

#Russia massive state-funded propaganda budget resulted in a situation where they are actually reconstructing history from scratch using entirely fake “documentary” shots.

The following photos were taken in Sankt Petersburg, where state TV has reconstructed the #Euromaidan scenography for a “documentary” which will be used to support the narratives of Russian propaganda. For many Russians and Putin verstehers abroad these will become the primary source of information of these events, in the same way as just recently Russian TV filmed a whole staged "LGBT march" in Moscow, presenting it as happening in Kyiv.

This is not only limited to Ukraine: RT has recently filmed a clip pretending to be a production of #Germany AfD party... except it was entirely filmed in Russia and with Russian authors.

Be aware of this ongoing process, especially if you have any friends who tend to follow "both sides" as they will be unavoidably exposed to these sophisticated fakes.

‘It felt like history itself’ – 48 protest photographs that changed the world

The Guardian

Protest can change everything. Which is why governments around the world want to suppress it. In a week when thousands in the US expressed their fury over Roe v Wade, we look back at some of the images that helped rewrite laws and change the way we think.

Governments tend to define democracy as narrowly as possible. The story they tell goes as follows: you vote; the majority party takes office; you leave it to govern on your behalf for the next four or five years. (...)

We have seen what happens if we leave politics to governments. Fairly elected or not, they will, without effective public pressure, abuse their power. (...)

Trust in governments destroys democracy, which survives only through constant challenge. It requires endless disruption of the cosy relationship between our representatives and powerful forces: the billionaire press, plutocrats, political donors, friends in high places. What challenge and disruption mean, above all, is protest. (...)

A government that cannot tolerate protest is a government that cannot tolerate democracy.

Such governments are becoming a global norm. In the UK, two policing bills in quick succession seek to shut down all effective forms of protest. (...)

In the US, state legislatures have been undermining the federal right to protest, empowering the police to use catch-all offences such as “trespass” or “disrupting the peace” to break up demonstrations and make arrests. (...) In Russia, a new law against “discrediting the armed forces” has been used to prosecute dissenters engaging in actions as mild as writing “no to war” in the snow. Similar draconian laws are being imposed by governments in many other nations.

Why do governments want to ban protest? Because it’s effective. Why do they want us to accept their narrow vision of democracy? Because it makes our power ineffective. (...)

The extraordinary people in these images understand this – from suffragettes picketing the White House in 1917 to Patsy Stevenson being manhandled by police at last year’s Sarah Everard vigil; from relatives of those killed at Amritsar in India in 1919 to those taking to the streets after George Floyd’s murder in the US.

Almost everything of importance is disintegrating fast: ecosystems, the health system, standards in public life, equality, human rights, terms of employment. (...) Business as usual is a threat to life on Earth. Disrupting it is the greatest civic duty of all. (...)
