Medvedev reacted harshly to the Clooney Foundation’s plans to seek the arrest of Russian journalists in Europe

▪️ “The effort will be wasted: our professional journalists will find him first. These are very attentive and highly qualified people. And they are ready to chat with him “from dusk to dawn,” writes Medvedev.
▪️It was previously reported that actor George Clooney’s foundation intends to seek the EU and ICC to arrest Russian journalists abroad. The organization wants to petition the ICC to initiate criminal cases against Russian journalists who cover events in Ukraine in a pro-Russian manner.
▪️The Foundation also wants to encourage individual EU countries to initiate criminal prosecution against Russian journalists in the case of “war propaganda.”

So who are the ones who want to arrest journalists now?

Further proof they always accuse their enemies of what they do themselves.

We must not permit opinions or facts to be published that do not agree with mine.

“The George and Amal Clooney Foundation’s Docket Project plans to obtain secret arrest warrants for prominent Russian journalists in Europe”

More of these ‘Western Values’ that have cost the Ukrainians and the Russians half a million lives, I guess.

If I am Russia, I simply declare it an act of war and let my soldiers know George and Mrs. Clooney are enemy combatants.

So if I don’t like a movie George stars in and consider it to be propaganda then I can issue a Secert warrant for George’ arrest?

Why do I get the creepy feeling this has more to do with child trafficking and porn, than it does with war journalism?
That Clooney creeps me out, actually both of them do.

The language used seems Trumpian. Very nice.

Oh. Will they target journalists who just regurgitate Western Propaganda too?

Let’s see....much of the British Tabloids, just about the entire corporate media in the US and doubtless much of the media in Europe would be subject to arrest too.

Or is it just “Some” propaganda/opinions you plan to target. Let me guess, those that you happen to disagree with.......

According to at least one news report, Amal Clooney, the Lebanese lawyer wife of George Clooney, played a central role in the International Criminal Court indictment of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for War Crimes.

It’s seems like a natural progression for our Leftist journalists, who like so many in western societies are ready to throw out western intellectual traditions. Now to western “journalists” the only real “journalists” are those who agree with them.

No, I am no fan of Putin and his war and invasion of Ukraine, nor a fan of his minions, his propogandsists in Russia and embeded here in the west as well.

However, if the Clooney’s can succeed in this Nazi-like new adventure, then it will spread to all sorts of western journalists they don’t like as well.

The best free speech is free speech for all, even the voices you hate. You oppose the voices you don’t agree with by spreading your own voice, not by arresting those you disagree with.

Maybe someone should remind the Clooney’s that the success of their venture will create powers in society that may sometime view them as the enemy and seek their arrest.

If true, I wonder what George’s father thinks about this. Nick Clooney was a TV newscaster in Cincinnati for years.
