Putin signs law enabling sanctions on Facebook and other U.S. social media that restrict and censor Russian content

 

Putin signs law enabling sanctions on Facebook and other U.S. social media that restrict and censor Russian content

By Julio Severo

The power of Facebook, Twitter and other U.S. social media giants is so big that they restricted even posts by President Donald Trump in 2020. In turn, Trump tried to approve measures to restrict the excessive power of these giants, but their efforts were not approved by the U.S. Congress.



That is, Facebook and other U.S. social media giants are more powerful than the U.S. president.

Yet, Russia is reacting against the power of Facebook and other U.S. media platforms that promote Russophobia and restrict and censor Russian content.

According to WND (WorldNetDaily), one of the biggest conservative websites in the world:

“Russia’s Vladimir Putin just punched back against major U.S. social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook for prior censorship targeting Russia, including shadow banning and labeling Russian sources like RT News as 'state media' while at the same time giving Western state-funded media a free pass.”

Russophobia, or opposition to everything from Russia, is a characteristic of Neocons. When Russia was the Soviet Union, it was correct to restrict its communist content. But now that Russia and its government are more conservative, with strong stances against sodomy and pro-family stances, it does not make sense to censor Russian content. U.S. left-wingers do it. Facebook do it. Neocons do it.

According to WND, Putin approved new legislation “which essentially holds foreign social media companies to their same standards. If a company like YouTube or Twitter, for example, exercises censorship for reasons related to ‘nationality, language, and origin’ the new bill gives Russian authorities the ability to impose punishments or restrictions.”

According to ZeroHedge,

Thus foreign platforms in Russia could face fines, regulated or slowed web traffic, or possibly up to total blockage inside the Russian Federation.

Russian officials and media have long condemned the double standards and clear hypocrisy which seems to single out Russia.

For example neither BBC nor Voice of America come with "state-affiliated" labels; and often Turkish state sources like TRT World or other NATO member state media don't come with the labels either.

So by all indicators any ally of Washington seems to get a free pass by the US tech and social media giants.

While abortion activists and gay militants get a free pass on Facebook, Twitter and other U.S. platforms, conservatives, especially Christians, are victims of blocks, shadow banning and other acts of virtual violence and censorship.

Everybody would like to strike back against such censorship. Trump was unsuccessful in his measures. He could not counter the U.S. censorship giants.

In my case, for years I have been victim of the infamous 30-day blocks on Facebook, culminating in the termination of my official personal account just before the U.S. election. I have no power to counter Facebook’s virtual dictatorship.

If Russia has a power that I and even Trump have not, Putin and Russians should use it. Facebook and other U.S. censorship platforms should not go unchallenged and unpunished for their virtual violence against conservatives and Christians.

Whoever has the power to do to Facebook and other virtual dictatorship media what they do to others — blocks, restrictions, shadow banning, censorship —, use it.

U.S. Embassy in Moscow Defiantly Celebrated LGBT “Pride” Month in Russia


U.S. Embassy in Moscow Defiantly Celebrated LGBT “Pride” Month in Russia

By Julio Severo
To mark LGBT “Pride” Month, the US Embassy in Russia defiantly and prominently displayed the flag of the homosexual movement outside its building on June 2020 and posted a message written in Russian on its Instagram saying: “Today, the US Embassy in Russia honors the LGBTI Pride Flag during the #PrideFlagDay celebration.”
It was a provocative maneuver for two reasons. In 2013 Russia passed a law banning homosexual propaganda to children and teens.
Secondly, Russia is advancing constitutional amendments, introduced by President Vladimir Putin, defining marriage as being between one man and one woman only.
John Sullivan, U.S. Ambassador to Russia, said,
“This year, I’m honored to lead the team at the US Embassy in Moscow, in commemorating the history of the fight for LGBTI rights in the United States, and looking forward to a better future for LGBTI persons across the globe. LGBTI rights are human rights, and human rights are universal. It’s as simple as that. Pride Month recognizes that every individual deserves to live a life free from hate, prejudice and harassment.”
Even though some naïve Christians — including Tony Perkins, from the Family Research Council — have believed that the effort of the Trump administration to make homosexuality legal around the world is only to protect homosexuals, the move of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow shows clearly that such protection is just a strategy to promote the full gay agenda.
The Trump administration, as the Obama administration had done, has targeted Russia not because Russia kills homosexuals, but because Russia protects homosexuals from killings and, at the same time, protects children from homosexual propaganda and indoctrination and protects marriage from homosexual attacks.
In my article about the U.S. Embassy in Brazil celebrating LGBTI “Pride” Day, I had also explained that the language about protection of homosexuals is just a façade. Nothing else. Left-wingers have always used such façade. It just does not make sense that right-wingers are now imitating left-wingers.
To prove further my point, I visited the website of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow on June 30. Sure enough, there was an official message there saying:
“Today, the U.S. Embassy in Russia displays the LGBTI Pride Flag. The LGBTI flag was created by American artist and activist Gilbert Baker and was first raised as a symbol of hope and diversity on June 25, 1978, during the Gay Freedom Day parade in San Francisco. June is Pride Month and we celebrate that everyone deserves to live a life free from hatred, prejudice, and persecution.  As Ambassador Sullivan has said, ‘LGBTI rights are human rights. And human rights are universal.  It’s as simple as that.’”
The U.S. Embassy in Moscow also included this statement, “This June, we celebrate Pride Month by applauding LGBTI activists and their allies.” The U.S. embassy is applauding homosexual activists who often work to indoctrinate children.
So the Trump administration has such offensive messages in Russia, which does not kill homosexuals.
Next, I visited the website of the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia, in the same day, June 30. Sure enough, there was no message from the Trump administration about celebrating June as homosexual “pride” month. The respect the U.S. has for Saudi Arabia and its Islamic laws surpasses any respect the U.S. has for the gay agenda.
Saudi Arabia, a close U.S. ally, kills homosexuals.
So if the U.S. effort is about protecting homosexuals, why does the Trump administration target Russia, not Saudi Arabia?
The fact that the Trump administration is defiantly provoking Russia, which does not kill homosexuals, by displaying a homosexual flag in its embassy in Moscow while its embassy, which displays no homosexual flag in its building, in Saudi Arabia remains silent over Saudi killings of homosexuals is enough evidence that the U.S. government in its promotion of the gay agenda will not forgive Russia for protecting children from homosexual propaganda and indoctrination, but it will give special allowances to Saudi Arabia that kills homosexuals, as it has already given.
The Obama administration, which was left-wing, launched several actions against Russia because of the Russian law protecting children against homosexual propaganda and indoctrination.
The Trump administration, which does not consider itself left-wing, was supposed to praise and support the excellent Russian law, which was praised by Franklin Graham, who condemned Obama’s homosexualist policies.
Some could wonder why U.S. conservative Christian leaders are silent about such policies in the Trump administration. The answer is simple: Trump’s White House is open to hear some parts of the Bible, but no biblical condemnation of sex of men with men. Christian leaders who attacked Obama’s homosexualist policies were not invited by the Obama administration for anything. Similarly, Christian leaders who want to attack Trump’s homosexualist policies will not be invited by the Trump administration for anything.
Just as the Obama administration did, the Trump administration and its embassies are making sodomy great around the world defying above all God, who makes no exception to this sin which he calls “abomination” in His Word, which says:
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22 NKJV)
The Deep State, dominated by neocons, is homosexualist. So it does not matter anymore if the U.S. government is under a Democratic (left-wing) or Republican (right-wing) president, they will do the will of the Deep State, as far as the homosexual agenda and endless wars are concerned.
State Secretary Mike Pompeo, who controls U.S. embassies and has celebrated June as gay “pride” month, is considered a “devout” evangelical. In the Obama administration, conservatives would call him devout liberal and left-winger. But today, conservatives just go silent while the Trump administration and its embassies continue doing exactly what the Obama administration was doing: promoting the gay agenda.
Under Richard Grenell, the Trump administration launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality around the world. Grenell, who is a Republican homosexualist married to another homosexual, made it clear that condemnation of violence is just one of the steps the U.S. government is taking to normalize homosexuality around the world and that there are more 21 steps. So there is a much bigger plan and strategy.
This article stems from my conviction, as a devout evangelical Christian, in the Bible that homosexuality should never be granted any status of normalcy. If governments and their officials can talk about violence against homosexuals as an excuse to advance normalcy of homosexuality and other items of the gay agenda, why not to talk also about violence by homosexuals, including the psychological violence of homosexual propaganda and indoctrination to children and physical violence against boys who are victims of predatory homosexual rapists?
This is not the first time I have called the attention for the homosexualist policies of the Trump administration. My public stance has been mentioned by the largest U.S. homosexual magazine.
Planned Parenthood, the largest network of abortion facilities in the U.S., recognized decades ago that homosexuality is one of the most effective forms of population control.
The most drastic policy of population reduction ever promoted by the U.S. government was not made by a socialist Democratic administration, but by a “conservative” Republican administration in the 1970s. Its name is NSSM 200, which specifically mentions Brazil and other nations as special targets for population control measures through birth control or “family planning” to advance U.S. interests.
I do not know if the Trump administration and its embassies are continuing Obama’s homosexualist policies or the traditional population control policies of Republicans. I only know that such policies are detrimental for children.

Heavy Metal Band Exchanges Homosexual Kiss in Moscow in Defiance of Russian Law Protecting Children Against Homosexual Propaganda


Heavy Metal Band Exchanges Homosexual Kiss in Moscow in Defiance of Russian Law Protecting Children Against Homosexual Propaganda

By Julio Severo
Two male members of the German heavy metal band Rammstei exchanged a homosexual kiss in front of a massive crowd in Moscow. The kiss was in direct defiance of the Russian law protecting children and adolescents against homosexual propaganda.
During a concert in Moscow on July 29, 2019, Rammstein guitarists Paul Landers and Richard Kruspe kissed onstage in front of a crowd of 81,000 at Luschniki stadium, Russia’s largest football stadium.
Passed in 2013 by President Vladimir Putin, Russia’s gay propaganda law bans materials that would “[present] distorted ideas about the equal social value of traditional and non-traditional sexual relationships.” Condemned then by the Obama administration and the U.S. mainstream media, the law essentially makes it illegal in Russia display or promote any kind of propaganda of homosexuality in the presence of children and adolescents.
The gesture of defiance was cowardly, because while Muslims, who kill homosexuals, are invading Germany, the German heavy metal band is offensively targeting a Russian law that does not order the killing of homosexuals. It just protects children against the obvious immorality of propaganda from homosexual predators.
If Rammstein wants to impact with a gesture of defiance and courage, it should make a concert in Saudi Arabia and exchange a homosexual kiss in Mecca in protest against Saudi laws banning all homosexual propaganda to children and adults and the Saudi social custom of killing homosexuals.
The difference between Russia and Saudi Arabia is that the German heavy metal band would be very lucky if it were not jailed and whipped in Saudi Arabia for its offensive homosexual kiss. This is why Rammstei chose to offend Russians, not Saudis.
In spite that the Russian law protecting children from the propaganda of gay predators is hated by the left around the world and especially the U.S. left, Franklin Graham, the son of the famous evangelist Billy Graham and a spiritual adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, praised the Russian law. In a March 2014 cover story in Decision magazine, published by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Graham said,
“Isn’t it sad, though, that America’s own morality has fallen so far that on this issue—protecting children from any homosexual agenda or propaganda — Russia’s standard is higher than our own?”
It was thought that with the defeat of Hillary Clinton and the victory of a Republican candidate, America could at last also get a law banning homosexual propaganda to children and get a partnership with Russia against the onslaught from homosexual predators, but such expectation has not materialized. Even under Trump, the U.S. continues promoting the homosexual agenda around the world.

Isolated Russia and the World’s Policeman


Isolated Russia and the World’s Policeman

By Julio Severo
In his 2016 presidential campaign, then candidate Donald Trump several times indicated his intent of partnership with Russia, especially against Islamic terror. Such intent encouraged Russians and infuriated anti-Russian activists.
Because of massive pressure of neocons, whom Trump especially opposed, the dreamed and hoped partnership never happened.
In 2016 Trump was a good visionary. Russia had been isolated by U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama allegedly for annexing Crimea, from Ukraine, which was Russian for 800 years. Yet, even before the annexation Obama, his administration and the Big U.S. Media were mocking Russia for its law banning homosexual propaganda to children and adolescents.
Dr. Scott Lively explained that the heavy sanctions Obama imposed on Russia were caused by a pro-sodomy Obama against an anti-sodomy Russia, and the annexation of Crimea was just an excuse. Obama even enlisted the socialist European Union to impose heavy sanctions. Such sanctions isolated Russia and crippled its economy.
It was highly expected that Trump, fulfilling his own wishes in 2016, would break the socialist stranglehold of Obama and the EU against Russia. But he has been unable to prevail over neocons. Actually, Trump has been doing exactly what Crooked Hillary Clinton promised to do: to support the Ukrainian regime that, by a coup d’etat, was imposed by Obama, George Soros, Hillary and John McCain.
Even though, geographically, the largest nation in the world, Russia has a weak military, in comparison to the U.S. and Europe, and has no place to run. The U.S. has about 800 military bases in 148 countries — and the world has just 196 countries.
So more than half of the nations in the world are under U.S. control. This is a massive supranational power, which George Washington and other Founders of America never sought or dreamed, even though American Freemasons always sought and dreamed of America as an empire establishing the New World Order. Their dreams have been fulfilled.
Isolated, Russia is “reaching out to other countries as part of Moscow’s effort to show that it is not isolated,” said former U.S. ambassador to the Ukraine Steven Pifer.
Due to the Russian efforts to react to the interference of Obama, Soros and neocons in Ukraine in 2014, the U.S. and EU have isolated Russia through sanctions.
Pifer believes that Russia is developing potential economic and military partnerships with other isolated nations as a response to its current international isolation.
One of these potential economic and military partnerships is with Venezuela, whose oil has been coveted by Americans, Russians and others. In fact, the U.S. has been one of the main buyers of the Venezuelan oil.
Even though I can, as a conservative evangelical, support the Russian law against homosexual indoctrination of children and adolescents, I cannot in any way support Russian involvement in Venezuela, because the Venezuelan people is suffering very much under socialism, which was chosen by a nation 96 percent Catholic and where the Catholic Church is traditionally supportive of Liberation Theology.
Russians could use as an excuse for such involvement the fact that they are isolated, but there is no excuse for it, from a Christian perspective.
Yet, if Russia, which is isolated, has no excuse, so is with the U.S., which is not isolated, but keeps Saudi Arabia in a privileged partnership while the Saudis bomb schools and hospitals in Yemen, having already killed over 80,000 children.
There is a humanitarian tragedy in Venezuela, because of socialism. And there is a bigger humanitarian tragedy in Yemen, because of the Saudis and U.S. weapons. In fact, the Saudi war in Yemen is considered the largest humanitarian tragedy in the world.
Even though some right-wing activists conjecture that a partnership between Venezuela and Russia is a communist plot, when even Trump has never called the modern Russia “communist,” this is not about capitalism and communism. It is not about ideology. It is just about greed for oil, just as the partnership between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia is just about greed for oil. Oil is the lifeblood of political insanity in our age. It is also behind many bloody wars.
In 2016, Trump accused Crooked Hillary and Obama, aided by Saudis, of creating ISIS, which raped and slaughtered thousands of Christians. In fact, ISIS was the main genocide machine against Christians in recent years. Trump has been unable to chastise Saudi Arabia, Obama and Hillary for this criminal creation.
The role of the U.S. as the World’s Policeman has been disastrous for Christians in the world. In the trail of U.S. military invasions and interference, there is Christian blood shedding, and Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan are sad examples.
Obama and other U.S. left-wing presidents used the U.S. government and its power as the World’s Bad Policeman. Other Obamas and worse left-wingers will come to the U.S. presidency. So the World’s Bad Policeman will be always visiting the world, and isolating nations and creating killing machines as ISIS.
Relationship with Saudi Arabia is vastly worse than a relationship with Venezuela. Even so, the U.S. and Russia are wrong in their relationships, with isolation or not.
If Russia were not isolated, would it have better relationships? So why doesn’t the U.S., which is not isolated, have better relationships?
Russia should leave all interference in Venezuela for oil, and the U.S. should leave all interference in Crimea and Ukraine, which is the cradle of the Russian civilization and Christianity.
It is not healthy to keep Russia isolated just because Obama, Soros and neocons decided so years ago. Trump should break this unfair stranglehold, just as he wanted to do in 2016.
It is not also healthy to be the World’s Policeman. America has a virtually rotative government system. Socialist Obama ruled America and the world for 8 years, imposing, by law, diplomacy and propaganda, homosexuality. Trump’s State Department is keeping this bad work of Obama, just as Trump is keeping and increasing on Russia the same sanctions Obama had imposed. This is not healthy and goes against what George Washington wanted for America.
It is very hard to support Trump’s conservative measures while he supports the Islamic dictatorship of Saudi Arabia. It is also very hard to support Putin’s conservative measures while he supports Maduro’s Venezuela. It is a decision where you should reject everything of them or partially support them. I choose the latter. I choose to support only their conservative measures, not their political insanities.
Nicolas Maduro, the communist dictator in Venezuela, should be overthrown. Saudi Arabia, the main sponsor of Islamic terrorism in the world, should have a complete regime change, but how can it be done if it is protected by U.S. military bases? How can it be done if Saudi Arabia is the main buyer of U.S. arms?
By supporting Saudi Arabia, Trump and his administration are accomplices of the Saudi crimes. By supporting Nicolas Maduro, Putin and his administration are accomplices of his crimes.
I do not support isolation for America and Russia, even though I support isolation for Saudi Arabia and North Korea. Obama’s isolation of Russia is provoking today many consequences.
My perspective is spiritual and evangelical. Years ago I met American prophet Chuck Pierce in Brazil. He told that if Brazil got closer to Israel, God was going to give a special anointing to Brazil. Then he had a vision about what would happen if Brazil began to develop into an international power: He saw the U.S. government encircling and stifling Brazil economically and militarily. He saw the U.S. filled with envy. He saw the U.S. totally determined to hinder Brazil’s economic rise.
What would Brazil do if it were isolated by the U.S., which has today about 800 military bases in 148 countries? Under U.S. sanctions, would Brazil seek partnership with Zimbabwe and Burundi?
While the non-isolated U.S. uses Ukraine to provoke Russia and isolated Russia uses Venezuela to provoke the U.S., innocent people are suffering.
China is today the largest communist nation in the world, and the U.S. has not worked to isolate China. Some right-wing U.S. presidents, as George H.W. Bush, even ignore huge Chinese communist crimes. Since Nixon (right-wing), the U.S. has been giving to communist China a privileged economic status. Why isolate Russia that has left communist almost 30 years ago? Why this feral antagonism?
America, as a Masonic empire, is at war against the America that was founded by a population 98 percent Protestant. She is at war, since Obama, also against Russia and its conservatism, isolating it and crippling its economy.
How can Trump use America as a good World’s Policeman if he is under a neocon stranglehold? How can Trump have his dreamed partnership with Russia if he is under the stranglehold of neocons, who are anti-Russian? How can Russia move as a nation under a neocon stranglehold imposed originally by Obama, Crooked Hillary and neocons?
Only God can help an isolated nation. And only God can deal with the U.S. for isolating nations to serve the interest of Obama, Soros and neocons.
May God deliver Trump from the neocon stranglehold and use him to draw the U.S. away from the Masonic ambition to make America the World’s Policeman, an empire and engine for the New World Order. May God use Trump to make America great again as a Christian and blessed Bible-reading nation, just as America was in her foundation.
