DISINFO: MI6 and Keir Starmer conspired against Trump and US democracy
SUMMARY
There is distrust between the US and UK because of the so-called ‘Russia collusion’ narrative. MI6 was nose deep in helping set that up with the Democrats, trying to destroy the reputation of Donald Trump. Keir Starmer may perhaps seem involved in trying to subvert U.S. democracy. MI6 in the UK took a very active role in helping support the Maidan Revolution against the pro-Russian government in Ukraine, and it continues support elements opposed to Donald Trump.
RESPONSE
Conspiracy theory not backed by any evidence, promoting several recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about the so-called ‘Russiagate’ as a hoax and the Maidan protests as a Western-backed coup d’etat.
The ultimate goal of this disinformation story is to stir up negative feelings towards the British government among the political bases of the Republican Party, helping to create and deepen divisions between transatlantic allies.
Russia’s meddling in the US elections in favour of Donald Trump has been proven beyond any doubt. There is a solid corpus of evidence compiled in the two-volume Mueller report and the five-volume US Senate investigation. Mueller’s investigations led to the criminal indictment of 34 people, 26 of them Russian citizens or entities including the infamous Internet Research Agency. Many other findings by The New York Times and The Washington Post, for which they received the Pulitzer Prize in 2018, were later backed by the evidence presented in court, further investigations or confessions of those involved. Trump’s Department of Justice prevented further investigation of other additional ties between Trump’s environment and Russia.
Allegations portraying the 2014 Maidan protests in Ukraine as a US or Western-backed coup have been debunked many times (see here, here, here and here).
