Umberto Eco - Ur Fascism

[Mark Kohut]

This all bores me too.....the constant refusal by so many to SEE what
Putin's Russia is now is exhausting:
The whole international community knows what the country IS, it is no
longer even close to just a failed socialist/communist country.

It seems the US has just arrested a 2016 Russian hashslingerz mastermind.
Where's Jill Stein when we need her?

" Today, however, the United States must express opposition to this
resolution, a document most notable for its thinly veiled attempts to
legitimize longstanding Russian disinformation narratives denigrating
neighboring nations under the cynical guise of halting Nazi glorification.
The United States Supreme Court has consistently affirmed the
constitutional right to freedom of speech and the rights of peaceful
assembly and association, including by avowed Nazis, whose hatred and
xenophobia are widely scorned by the American people. At the same time, we
steadfastly defend the constitutional rights of those who exercise their
rights to combat intolerance and express strong opposition to the odious
Nazi creed and others espousing similar hatreds.

Despite consistently expressing our concerns with the Russian delegation
and proposing revisions to protect against unacceptable restrictions on
freedom of expression, our recommendations, intended to improve and
strengthen this resolution, have been ignored. We discourage States from
invoking Article 4 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Racial Discrimination and Article 20 of the International Covenant on Civil
and Political Rights in an attempt to either silence unwelcome opinions or
to excuse their failure to combat intolerance.

For these reasons, the United States has voted against each new version of
this resolution since 2005 and is, again, compelled to vote “No” on this
resolution, and calls on other States to do the same."
