Actor George Clooney's foundation announces a hunt for Russian journalists
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The foundation of American actor George Clooney will seek the issuance of sealed arrest warrants for Russian journalists in Europe. This was stated by Anna Neistat, Director of Legal Affairs of the Docket project, in an interview with Voice of America radio (a media outlet recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation).
Playing at statesmanship, but really its only another cancellation game.
According to her, some countries have an article on “war propaganda” in their criminal codes. Where this provision is present, the organization will draw up a request to initiate criminal proceedings. If a warrant is issued, journalists could be detained throughout Europe at Europol level.

“That is, in any European country, journalists can be arrested and extradited to a country that is investigating a criminal case against them,” Neistat said.

She added that no appeals had yet been sent and refused to name the journalists who were planned to be persecuted. According to her, we are talking about “the most obvious Russian propagandists, the most visible of them.”

She also said that the project asks prosecutors to write closed arrest warrants so that people do not know about it and travel to other countries where they can be arrested.

As reported by IA Regnum, on May 17, the Council of the EU banned the broadcasting of three Russian media in the territory of the European Union: RIA Novosti, Izvestia and Rossiyskaya Gazeta. The sanctioned media must completely stop distributing any content through electronic media.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called the ban on broadcasting of three Russian media in the EU a purge of the information space. The department added that this decision was based solely on political motives.

The media reported on May 15 that this decision was agreed upon by the ambassadors of European countries.

The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, said that Russia will respond to the West with lightning speed and pain if the work of Russian journalists is limited.

The ICJ and ICC put Israel on notice but cannot stop the war

Wanted to go to war against Indonesia because they made a law against gay and underage sex.

#5 Clooney had the right idea if he indeed wanted to go to war against indonesia for law against gays.

That's because Indonesia is majority Muslim and becoming increasingly Islamist every passing day.

And let me remind you of islam's take on underage sex. Mohammad married Aisha age 6 and consumated at 9.

However here, the Clooneys are showing they are in fact Loonies.

This is a disgrace. And there is no reason for Nato to be threatening russia and for the US state department (Victoria Nuland) to have whipped up the problems there now. It's massively irresponsible. None of us want this war, it's useless and has now resulted in half a million deaths for literally no reason.

Putin can have hte eastern/southern part of ukraine i do not care. In fact, he was right to go in to protect them given the repression of the ethnic russians there.

#6 President for life Putin is a product of the Russian intelligence community. What we have in D.C. is a product of our own intelligence community (Deep State). The similarities are strikingly obvious.
Elections have become Kabuki dances.
