he UK has frozen all bank accounts owned by Russia's state-run broadcaster, Russia Today (RT), its editor-in-chief has claimed. Margarita Simonyan tweeted: "They've closed our accounts in Britain. All our accounts. 'The decision is not subject to review.' Praise be to freedom of speech!" RT has previously been sanctioned by Ofcom for biased reporting on the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria.

Scary - political intrigues are the only thing lefty’s are good at - they frig up anything else they touch.
FNC take notice.
Likely business operations accounts mostly to pay their reporters stationed there. It’s a common practice.
Last year, the bank in Spain did the same thing. You can read the article here: It may be related.

Russia is a very slick propaganda machine for Putin to use like the NYT is a slick propaganda machine for O’Bummer to use. It’s still free speech.
Definitely related. Thanks for link
Sure, but the point is this — coordination.
Most likely an act of sheer desperation, but ....
I suspect this is part of a coordinated effort to disrupt communications, even if it slows them down for a day.
‘How many days has it been since the ‘UN’ takeover of the internet?’
Hasn’t happened yet [and I doubt this is related].
According to John Bolton the ICANN transition might take as long as ten years.
I assume ICANN is now in negotiations and planning. But who knows? They might want to flex their muscle somewhere small and obscure as a demonstration to cohorts.
However, this could be part of a move against alternative information sources...along with the isolation and eventual imprisonment of Assange on espionage charges.
Some information is so threatening to the global order that they will do whatever necessary to suppress it.
I'm surprised they have not done so sooner.
‘I’m surprised they have not done so sooner.’
Thank God Hillary and Obama surrounded themselves with ‘yes-men’ who were too scared to tell them things they didn’t want to hear.
They probably assumed the rubes would fail to piece things together quickly enough. So they wanted to ‘blitz’ us over the summer. And ‘oops’ it didn’t work all that well.
Hillary does have influence over the UK, such as the Michael Savage ban. But hey — just blind speculation here.
FRegards ....
That just makes for a mean and controlling market place...like politics. It is not capitalism for profit anymore; it is fascism.
They have reporters there and in many countries. There are even Americans and Brits working for them.
When government and capitalism merge it is called fascism. It is marxism once the government claims the means of production and profits as it’s own.
Let me research that again. 11 years ago, there was a 10 year deadline. 2016 is 11 years according to the UN / IGF.
>> Does Russia Today coordinate with wikileaks? <<
Did the Sun rise in the east this morning?
Yep. That seems to be the latest strategy by the lying Liberal Media.
And China. And Iran.
I have three children adopted from Russia and am very fond of the country, having spent much time there, spoke the language quite well years ago.
Had a great prayer experience in St Basil's in Moscow.
At least if they take us the language will come back to me rather quickly I imagine. Let it be Russia and not China who invades, I pray. Because I don't think we will win this war. I think Hills and Obama are really really trying to destroy this country.
Still, this is breaking my heart and making me hate Obama and Hildebeast even more, which I was not sure was possible.
As I suspected, another nothing burger like Obama's threat about a US cyber attack on Russia. Not only does Obama does not have the cojones to order such, but how stupid would it be to announce it in advance? Just more posturing by the Metro-in-Chief.
Getting a little tired of all the posts claiming obama or a president hellery starting WWIII. As much as they want a socialist One World, they won't have it if they start a war with Russia. There will be NO "no-fly zone" over Syria. Syria is now Russia's. I say let them have it. No American blood or treasure for that little shit hole. And Russia can take in all the so-called refugees.
The Ruling Party and political Delites
want to control the message and delete anything contrary. This is already being done here in a defacto way because the economic and political elites control the mainstream dissemination of information. Next they will control the alternative media on the Internet and when that is complete you know the end is near to the nation state and the coup for globalism complete information wise.
