Yet, they were cut off from financial services.

More clarity is emerging around a series of scandalous decisions Canada has recently made in an attempt to suppress a civil protest, organized by truckers.

Among those decisions was the one trying to directly deprive the protesters participating in what is known as Freedom Convoy of their livelihoods by freezing their bank accounts. Another was to block their access to donations on crowd-funding platforms.

The aircraft manufacturer has been using giant Russian cargo planes to transport supplies to its plants.

American multinational corporation Boeing may be impacted by the Biden administration's ban on Russian aircraft in US airspace, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.

Boeing had been contracting giant Antonov An-124 cargo planes, operated by the Russian Volga-Dnepr Group, to move supplies to its plants in the US, potentially meaning the new restrictions will limit the American company's ability to operate out of its base in Washington.

RT America will cease productions and lay off most of its staff, according to a memo from T&R Productions, the production company behind the Russian state-funded network, which CNN obtained.

Misha Solodovnikov, the general manager of T&R Productions, told staff in the memo that it will be "ceasing production" at all of its locations "as a result of unforeseen business interruption events."

"Unfortunately, we anticipate this layoff will be permanent, meaning that this will result in the permanent separation from employment of most T&R employees at all locations," Solodovnikov wrote.

Comment: The first casualty of war is the truth.

Yet another fake news story exposed.

After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that Russia had attacked the Babi Yar Holocaust memorial in Kiev in an attempt to "erase our history," an Israeli journalist visited the site to discover that it was in fact "unscathed."

Narrative fail.

Legacy media outlets breathlessly reported on Monday that the memorial had been deliberately attacked by an air strike, amplifying Zelensky's claim that the destruction was "beyond humanity."

Felines owned by Russians have been banned from international competitions as punishment for Moscow's attack on Ukraine

The International Feline Federation (FIFe) has weighed in on the Ukraine crisis, banning Russian-owned cats from competing in its shows as a sanction for Moscow's military attack on the former Soviet republic.
"The FIFe executive board is shocked and horrified that the army of the Russian Federation invaded the Republic of Ukraine and started a war," the Paris-based federation said on Tuesday. The group added that it "cannot just witness these atrocities and do nothing."
As a result, cats belonging to Russian residents will be banned from entry at FIFe shows. In addition, no cats bred in Russia can be imported and registered in a FIFe pedigree book, the group said.

Comment: Even in this bizarre world, this is a new level of absurdity.

Fox news insults guest Col. Douglas McGregor for exposing truth behind Russia's incursion into Ukraine

Douglas Macgregor,
Trey Gowdy Sunday Night show with guest Col. Douglas Macgregor,
Here is the clip, on the 28 February 2022 Trey Gowdy Sunday Night show.



Comment: You can see The Duran's analysis of the interview in the final comment.


The first four minutes are the guest, Col. Douglas Macgregor, explaining that America-NATO's intention to place missiles on Ukraine's border with Russia just five minutes flight-time away from nuking Moscow, is like the Cuban Missile Crisis in reverse (an enormous danger of producing a WW III); and that Putin is certainly rational to act now so as to prevent that possibility (which ever since February 2014 has been an ever-increasing likelihood to happen); and then the neocon Jennifer Griffin came on and pretended to 'fact-check' him by saying that Putin is simply a lying power-crazed dictator who mustn't be 'appeased'. Other U.S. 'news'-media (all of which are likewise neocon or pro-U.S.-empire) bannered about that, hostilely against the anti-neocon guest, such headlines as "Jennifer Griffin Corrects MacGregor's Praise of Putin on Fox," "Fox News guest: Let Putin take Ukraine without any sanctions or aide for Ukrainians," and, "Once Again, Fox Pentagon Correspondent Has To Fact Check" — though that 'Fact Check" was actually ad-hominem lies, against the courageously truth-speaking guest and against Putin. The 'Fact Check' was the lies, and they were lies against the truth that Colonel Macgregor had just spoken, 100% accurately.
