SOLOMON HUGHES reveals how six MPs enjoyed £400-£600 hospitality at Ditchley Park for Google’s ‘AI parliamentary scheme’ — supposedly to develop ‘effective scrutiny’ of artificial intelligence, but actually funded by the increasingly unsavoury tech giant itself
State terrorism and Ukraine
Earlier this month the Kiev regime admitted the murder of an opposition politician, so why is it being ‘rewarded’ with EU accession talks as if nothing had happened, asks German Bundestag member SEVIM DAGDELEN

ON DECEMBER 6, the Ukrainian opposition politician Ilya Kyva was murdered in Moscow. The Ukrainian military intelligence service claimed responsibility for the crime. On December 14, the EU opened accession negotiations with Ukraine.
These two events are not only related in terms of time, but also in terms of substance. So although Ukraine had admitted responsibility for a political murder abroad for the first time little more than a week earlier, the EU heads of state and government considered Ukraine’s prerequisites for democracy and the rule of law to be fulfilled in order to pave the way for Kiev to join the EU.
However, anyone who thinks that these two things are contradictory could be sorely mistaken. The German government’s answer to my question about the murder of Kyva speaks a completely different language.
The federal government first tries its hand at a paradox. It has taken note of the statement by the spokesperson of the Ukrainian military intelligence service, but is not aware of any “confession.”
One should know that the Ukrainian military intelligence service has not only published photos of the crime scene in addition to the confession of murder, but has also been quoted as threatening that all traitors will suffer the same fate as Kyva.
In short, Ukraine is openly committing fascist assassinations, comparable in history to the Pinochet regime in Chile. For its murderous determination in the war, Ukraine is being rewarded with the opening of EU accession negotiations at Washington’s insistent request.
The German government does not condemn Ukraine’s political murder, but reaffirms its economic, financial and military support for the Kiev regime. What is remarkable is the statement that this is to continue for as long as necessary.
It is now clear that, whatever the cost, a proxy war is being waged by means of a state-terrorist government and that the government itself is not bothered by its commitment to terror, but is actually rewarding this commitment to terror.
With the decision to open EU accession negotiations, the German government and the European Union have finally arrived at the level of the US, the global support of fascist terror for geopolitical purposes.
In these times of digital globalisation, the willingness to support political murder and even see it as a legitimate instrument will also become known in the global South.
It will be interesting to see the reactions. For the German government, however, the following applies from now on: terror is nothing more than the legitimate continuation of politics.
