British NGO runs sinister propaganda against Russia
By Tajul Islam
British NGO – The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ), which is funded by Open Society, an organization of George Soros, openly claims, “Our reporting on Big Tech is funded by Open Society Foundations. None of our funders have any influence over our editorial decisions or output”, all of us know, how Open Society Foundation (OSF) plays notorious role by spending hundreds of millions of dollars in spreading disinformation through its lapdog organizations, for serving political and otherwise agendas of George Soros as well as affiliates of Western military industrial complex.
On July 6, 2024, TBIJ published a so-called investigative report titled – Russian disinformation networks ramp up attacks on European elections: Two sets of sites pushing Russian misinformation grew rapidly in the run up to this week’s votes in the UK and France” – where it has used photograph of Olena Zelenska, wife of Volodymyr Zelensky as featured item. Main agenda behind this so-called investigative report was to actually bury shocking information about the Zelensky couple’s properties in European nations.
First three paragraphs of this report say:
“Olena Zelenska has become the first owner of the brand new Bugatti Turbillon”, reads the headline in French, above a picture of Ukraine’s first lady with her arm around her French counterpart, cut together with a picture of a sports car.
The article looks real enough, though petrol heads may note the misspelling of Tourbillon. It even cites as evidence a video recorded by a dealership employee describing the supposed sale, and a picture of a Bugatti invoice for €4.5m made out to Mrs Olena Zelenska. If you were under any doubt, the site’s name should lay your fears to rest: Verite Cachee or, in English, hidden truth.
In fact, the video is a deep fake, the invoice is falsified and the entire site is part of a Kremlin-linked influence operation, using AI-generated content to deliver a payload of Russian talking points. The false attack on Zelenska was designed, it seems, to hint at corruption…”
This George Soros funded TBIJ report tactfully aimed at dry-cleaning Volodymyr Zelensky and wife Olena Zelenska from corruption charges despite the fact, in October 2021, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) in an investigative report has categorically proved corruption of Zelensky couple and their buying of expensive property in London stating, “Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rode to power on pledges to clean up the Eastern European country, but the Pandora Papers reveal he and his close circle were the beneficiaries of a network of offshore companies, including some that owned expensive London property”.
The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project in its report said:
Actor Volodymyr Zelensky stormed to the Ukrainian presidency in 2019 on a wave of public anger against the country’s political class, including previous leaders who used secret companies to stash their wealth overseas.
Now, leaked documents prove that Zelensky and his inner circle have had their own network of offshore companies. Two belonging to the president’s partners were used to buy expensive property in London.
The revelations come from documents in the Pandora Papers, millions of files from 14 offshore service providers leaked to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and shared with partners around the world including OCCRP.
The documents show that Zelensky and his partners in a television production company, Kvartal 95, set up a network of offshore firms dating back to at least 2012, the year the company began making regular content for TV stations owned by Ihor Kolomoisky, an oligarch dogged by allegations of multi-billion-dollar fraud. The offshores were also used by Zelensky associates to purchase and own three prime properties in the center of London…
None of the so-called fact-checkers or investigation agencies could challenge the OCCRP report thus proving – Volodymyr Zelensky and his cronies are involved in rampant corruption and Kleptocracy for years.
In January 2024, in an outrageous bid, ‘The New Voice of Ukraine’, a propaganda vessel of the neo-Nazi regimes in Kiev, accused Weekly Blitz, a 22-year-ol newspaper with international repute of spreading “pro-Russian narratives and misinformation about Ukraine”.
In a propaganda content titled ‘Trying to influence Africans, Russian Embassy spreads fake story about Zelenskyy buying Nazi villa’ Kiev’s propaganda vessel wrote: “The Bangladeshi media outlet Weekly Blitz had earlier circulated a fabricated story accusing President Zelenskyy of involvement in the alleged poisoning of Kyrylo Budanov’s wife, the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, on Sep. 30.
“Investigations revealed that Weekly Blitz frequently spreads pro-Russian narratives and misinformation about Ukraine. Notably, its editor, Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury, had previously worked as a correspondent for the Russian state-run propaganda agency TASS in Bangladesh”.
Although this report of ‘The New Voice of Ukraine’ was republished by Yahoo News and spread through the world, immediately after Blitz confronted Kiev’s propaganda and exposed ‘The New Voice of Ukraine’ being a neo-Nazi propaganda machine, Yahoo News quickly removed the content from its site. Now anyone clicking on the link to the neo-Nazi propaganda content on Yahoo News will see a notice stating – “Hmmm… the page you’re looking for isn’t here”.
It may be mentioned here that on December 2, 2023, in an article titled ‘Deep power struggle between Zelensky and Ukrainian intelligence’, Ahmed Adel, a Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher wrote:
The wife of the head of Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defence Kyrylo Budanov, Marianna Budanova, was poisoned along with several other GUR employees, said Andriy Yusov, a spokesperson of Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence directorate. Her poisoning is likely the latest event in the deepening power struggle in the Kiev regime.
According to Ukrainian media outlets, Budanova was hospitalised after being poisoned with heavy metals, most likely via food, and is now being treated. RBC Ukraine noted that it is unknown whether this was a “one-time poisoning” or “they poisoned her in portions for some time”.
“During the tests, metals such as arsenic and mercury were discovered […] This affected not only Kyrylo Budanov’s wife directly, but also several employees of the Main Intelligence Directorate,” the former head of the Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service Valeriy Kondratyuk said on NV radio.
“We are talking,” continued Kontratyuk, “about high-ranking officials, heads of individual areas responsible for operations against Russia”.
During the summer, Yusov said that Budanov survived more than a dozen assassination attempts. The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate stated that his wife lives with him in his office, and they are together 24/7 for safety reasons. At the same time, Budanova does not work at the State Traffic Inspectorate, and since June 2021, she has held the position of adviser to the mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko…
Meanwhile, according to media reports, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky purchased a house that previously belonged to Joseph Goebbels.
“House on Bogensee” is the name of a lakeside villa that was a gift from Adolf Hitler to the Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels on his 39th birthday. Since 2000, the Berlin city government has been trying to find a buyer for this property. The new owner is an offshore company owned by Zelensky.
A former employee of BIM (the real estate agency that manages municipal property in Berlin), Sabine Mels, published a real estate purchase and sale agreement, according to which the villa was purchased by Film Heritage Inc in October 2023 for more than 8 million euros. The company, according to The Guardian, is owned by the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky and is registered in Belize. He listed it in his declaration and income, among other offshore companies and other assets.
