DISINFO: Neo-liberal financial élite orchestrated the anti-racist revolt in the US to overthrow Trump regime

SUMMARY

The stateless neo-liberal international financial élite orchestrated the anti-racist revolt in the US in order to overthrow the Trump regime, which was unwelcome for globalist forces. Neo-liberals exploited real suffering in American society (social injustice, inequalities, systemic negrophobia, police brutality) to foment a revolt against Trump.

RESPONSE

The article’s claim is consistent with a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative that presents the racial justice protests in the US and Donald Trump’s defeat in the 2020 US presidential election as a violent colour revolution directed and funded by secret globalist élites or other shadowy actors, such as the so-called “Deep State”.

This claim fits into a broader pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative claiming that “globalist élites”, or other shadowy Western actors, foment coloured revolutions both domestically in the US and internationally to subvert the status quo.

There is no evidence to support the article’s claim that a “stateless neo-liberal international financial élite”, or that any other shadowy actor, orchestrated the anti-racist protests in the US. The nationwide protests against racial injustice and police brutality broke out in the US after the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis on 25 May 2020. The protests followed several high-profile incidents involving African Americans and the police, invoking debates about racism in the US.

Furthermore, it is not true, as the article claims, that Donald Trump was overthrown as a result of a revolt allegedly orchestrated by this globalist “financial élite” or other “neo-liberals”. Donald Trump was defeated by Joe Biden in a legitimate and valid election: the 2020 presidential election, which has been indisputably proven to be the most secure democratic election in history, well managed and legitimate, as determined by the US Supreme Court.

Read similar cases claiming that US riots are a Maidan-style plot to oust Trump, that the US is suffering from a colour revolution it used to support abroad, and that Donald Trump was overthrown by the globalist elite represented by Joe Biden.
