The truth becomes more and more a crime in the West. Either you agree with their Anti-Russia narrative or you end up in their Gulags.

Threats both old school and in the digital age seek to impose censorship on independent journalists around the world who undermine western narratives. This couldn’t be more true today than ever before and the war in Ukraine proves this fact.

A German independent journalist, 28-year-old Alina Lipp, who is a modern day “White Rose” living in eastern Ukraine’s renegade Donbas area has been labeled a Russian terrorist. She has been harassed and criminally charged by German authorities for her [allegedly] pro-Russian reporting; her objective is to report the Russian-Ukrainian conflict objectively.

Alina said she faces three years in prison — under article 140 of the German constitution — for her reporting from Ukraine’s eastern Donbass region.

German authorities though couldn’t tolerate how Lipp, “the mouthpiece of Russian propaganda,” as she’s been referred to by the German “fact checker” KORREKTIV, just kept on disseminating “misinformation” and as President Trump would claim, fake news.
