There are no Neo-Nazis in Ukraine.
According to the Western media, its all part of “a relentless
Kremlin-driven propaganda offensive that uses World War II-era terms and
imagery”.
Moscow is accused of using the words Nazi and Fascist to describe a
pro-Western government in Kiev, which is indelibly committed to the
tenets of “real democracy”.
In Odessa, on May 2nd, Neo-Nazi thugs set fire to the city’s Trade
Union building leading to countless deaths of innocent civilians who
were burnt alive within the building. This diabolical and criminal
undertaking was part of a carefully planned paramilitary operation,
which was barely acknowledged by the mainstream media.
The Western media blamed the Odessa tragedy on pro-Russian rebels.
The criminal actions undertaken by Neo-Nazi Brown shirts were not
mentioned. The atrocities were blamed on Moscow.
In the media’s coverage of unfolding atrocities directed against
civilians in Eastern Ukraine, the words Nazi, Fascist or Neo-Nazi are a
taboo. They have been eliminated from the anthology of investigative
reporting. The Right Sector militia are casually referred to by the
Western media as “patriots”, “Ultra-conservatives” and “freedom
fighters”, despite the fact that they visibly display Nazi insignia and
openly pledge their allegiance to the memory of Stepan Bandera and Adolf
Hitler.
