DISINFO: In pursuit of 4th Reich, Anglo-Saxons organised Russian Civil War and Hong Kong protests

SUMMARY

A better look allows us to discern the natural flow of events from the subversive propaganda of Americans and Anglo-Saxons who claim world domination, a sort of Fourth thousand-year Reich. Since China is not willing to accept American world order and promotes an alternative model for globalisation, it should experience a colour revolution. The US does not have the guts to arrange it in Beijing, so Hong Kong was burnt first, a peripheral China with a large concentration of US secret services. The situation is presented as if the protests are organised by ordinary disgruntled citizens rather than Washington’s puppeteers. Without Western meddling, neither the Russian Civil War a hundred years ago nor the protests in Hong Kong would have happened.

RESPONSE

This is a conspiracy theory which presents many social and political events in various countries as a consequence of Western instigated provocations against Russia and China. and consistent with recurring pro-Kremlin narratives about the Nazi-like West, the US or West funding the Hong Kong’ protests, and the West's anti-Russian activities. Pro-Kremlin media have long used the narrative about anti-government protests being funded by the US. Examples include colour revolutions in post-Soviet states, the “Arab Spring” revolts, and Ukraine's Euromaidan in 2014. They also often use the accusation of Nazism as explained in our past analysis Nazi east, Nazi west, Nazi over the cuckoo's nest. The protests in Hong Kong started in June 2019 over a controversial extradition law, but have expanded to call for Hong Kong's leader to step down, an inquiry into alleged police brutality, for those who have been arrested to be released and greater democratic freedoms. When it comes to the Russian Civil War of 1917-1922, British, French and American units were sent to Russian ports to support White forces, but they rarely directly engaged the Bolsheviks, and the War had a number of more important domestic roots, foremost, widespread resistance to the new Bolshevik order. See earlier disinformation cases alleging that the US is like 4th Reich, that the Hong Kong protests are the West’s revenge on China for not waging war against Russia, that the goal of the US global “Anaconda” strategy is to limit the living space of geopolitical opponents, and that the West's objective is to encircle Russia entirely thanks to the "Anaconda ring" and "Great Turan" doctrines.
