DISINFO: The violent anti-racist protests and revolts in the US are supported and financed by transnational corporations
SUMMARY
The anti-racist protests in the US have morphed into violent revolts and pogroms. Many leading transnational corporations are financing the revolts and supporting looters and protesters. The nature of current revolts in the US are similar coups d’état. Global capital wants to get rid of whatever state protectionism is left, even in the US, and this is why they are now supporting the revolts and organised violence in America. This is a characteristic of advanced globalisation, when global corporations feel that they are so rich and powerful that they can challenge national governments. The heads of these corporations have forgotten that, historically, many capitalists who have financed revolutions and coups d’états were removed from the picture later on when they were no longer needed.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that the racial justice protests in the US are dominated by violent groups, which, in turn, are directed, supported and financed by powerful élites, such as George Soros, leaders of the Democratic Party and/or global corporations. There is no evidence to support the article’s conspiracy theory that racial justice protests in the US are funded and organised by transnational corporations. The widespread protests against racial injustice and police brutality broke out in the US after the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis on the 25th of May, 2020. The protests followed several high-profile incidents involving African Americans and the police, invoking debates about racism in the US. Read similar cases claiming that “Maidan-style” violent protests in the US are a plot to bring about regime change and oust Donald Trump, and that the protests in the US are reminiscent of color revolution techniques.
