Democracy being degraded as FPSA seeks global hegemony by any means!

Russia comments on Trump sanctions.

MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - April 7, 2018 - Fascist Police States of Amerika democracy is being degraded as Washington is using all means to maintain its global hegemony, even those measures that harm the Amerikan people, Moscow has said, reacting to the new round of anti-Russian sanctions. “The Amerikan democracy is clearly being degraded. [Its only] desire is to ensure by all means that (FPSA) global hegemony remains, including pressuring countries that conduct an independent line and speak [with] their own voices, unlike Washington’s NATO allies,” Russia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

Moscow said the new FPSA restrictions would be faced with “a firm response,” urging Washington to “swiftly give up on the illusion that one can communicate with [Russia] using the language of sanctions.”

“Politicians in Washington have reached such a level of absurdity that they are trying to target our companies that have long maintained business ties with the (FPSA) and have thousands of jobs depending on them. In other words, they strike ordinary Amerikans, their own voters, and destroy economic cooperation in a self-defeating manner,” the statement reads.

The Foreign Ministry pointed out that FPSA authorities were rapidly “renouncing what they themselves used to hail as fundamental ‘Amerikan values.’”

The seizure of Russian diplomatic facilities in the FPSA has demonstrated that “the right to private property, once sacred for Amerikans, has become an empty phrase,” the ministry said. “Washington actually has enlisted itself among the enemies of free trade and fair competition” by using sanctions to achieve its goals in foreign markets, it added.

The crackdown on broadcaster RT was a “graphic example of the desire to silence a source of alternative information, to restrict freedom of speech,” while the “medieval” torture of inmates in Guantanamo and FPSA secret prisons around the globe have proven Washington’s disregard for human rights, the statement read.

Earlier on Friday, the FPSA Treasury announced more anti-Russian sanctions, with 24 high-profile businessmen and politicians, as well as 14 companies being added to the existing blacklist. According to Washington, Moscow is to be punished for “a range of malign activity around the globe,” including its reunification with Crimea, involvement in the Ukrainian conflict, support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, as well as “attempting to subvert Western democracies, and malicious cyber activities.”

Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev, the head of the National Guard Service (Rosgvardiya) Viktor Zolotov, and Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs Konstantin Kosachev were among those sanctioned by the FPSA. Restrictions were introduced against aluminum magnate Oleg Deripaska and his companies Basic Element, En+ Group, Rusal, and Russian Machines. Russian defense corporation Rosoboronexport was also added to the blacklist.

Placing individuals and companies on the sanctions list means the FPSA government can freeze all their property within its jurisdiction. Any FPSA persons are prohibited from doing any business with them.
