British journalist Ross Ashcroft did an interview with me in 2019 about Russiagate and the William Browder Magnitsky hoax called The Crumbling State of Propaganda. But he never posted it. I contact him repeatedly and he did not reply. Did Browder threaten him or was he just fearful of Browder’s animus? Maybe his lawyers blocked the piece. Don’t know. Finally, he is responsible. He has just died. Here is the video and the transcript. You decide if a good journalist would have agreed to kill it.

Dec 4, 2024 – Maybe you’ve heard of William Browder and his alleged “lawyer” Sergei Magnitsky, who he says the Russians murdered in 2009 after he exposed a multi-million fraud by officials.

Oct 28, 2022 – I am publishing this important article by investigative journalist Adrian duPlessis just before CFA/Toronto, a woefully ignorant Canadian accounting organization, presents as speaker William Browder, one of the most infamous tax fraudsters of our time. He notes, “gnorance – be it in a naive or willful state – is form ill-fitting to a Chartered Financial Analyst and/or any other financial, legal+ professional worth their salt. Chronic toxicity of Hermitage networks’ false narratives – abundantly evident through review and analyses of public-record documents+ readily-accessible globally via court, police, corporate, press and other filings – prompts this letter.”
Sept 22, 2022 – Lucy Komisar talks to Hrvoje Morić about the Browder hoax, including Browder’s start as a crook skimming profits from Russian titanium company, Avisma, illicit buys of Gazprom shares for himself and the Ziff Brothers, the role of the Trump Tower meeting, proof Magnitsky wasn’t murdered, how Magnitsky Act was passed in a deal for the Jackson-Vanik trade amendment repeal and why Congress and the media lie about it all.

April 10, 2022 – Today’s Dealbook article in the NYTimes “ ‘There Is No Reasonable Way for This to End’: Bill Browder on How to Stop the War” includes numerous fake facts that fact checking organizations devoted to exposing such media falsehoods should address. This article is going a number of them in the hope that some have the courage to examine this evidence at a time of extreme hostility to Russia.
April 8, 2022 – Read or listen, how William Browder’s Magnitsky hoax, supported by the Deep State, was the first pillar of Russiagate. That was 2012. And it’s brought us to today’s U.S./Ukraine (proxy) war against Russia.
July 28, 2021 – The Big Lie has shown its power in the major media’s adoption of William Browder’s Magnitsky hoax. Say and write the Lie over and over, and journalists in the “best” papers will discount the need for proof. And they will ignore contradicting evidence sent to them. Especially when it challenges their government’s narrative.
May 10, 2021 – It’s always quite amazing when pseudo-legitimate journalists write Russophobic stories insisting that their evidence-free fabrications are true. The latest: Nick Cohen, a Guardian contributor, has published a full-of-falsehoods commentary on a book written by Catherine Belton, a longtime Russophobic journalist.
April 11, 2021 – A new Australian “light news” show, Channel 10’s The Project, broadcast a 29 March 2021 attack on the government for not passing legislation designed by a British fraudster to save his bloated bank account from Russian law enforcement. The Russians have evidence the fraudster stole hundreds of millions of dollars through evaded taxes, illicit stock buys and fraud against the Russian Treasury, but host Waleed Aly, with zero evidence, orchestrated a video aimed at getting public support for a bill the fraudster designed, which is a William Browder Protection Act.
April 2, 2021 – Sometimes the people who work for the West’s Deep State are subtle. But not this time. A webinar by Australian-born lawyer Geoffrey Robertson, a self-proclaimed international human rights advocate who was promoting a book, was mired so deep in lies that if I was the UK authority overseeing that lawyer, I would disbar him for corruption of character. Either that or he is so credulous that he should be disbarred for extreme stupidity.

After nine years, the Swiss will close a case based on Bill Browder’s fake charges against some Russians he accused of taking money from the $230-million tax refund fraud.
This was a fraud on the Russian Treasury based on collusive lawsuits. Some crooks used shell companies to sue other shell companies to say “you cheated us, you owe us $$$.” Browder’s companies “paid” and then demanded tax refunds on their “lost” profits. Except they were collusive suits and evidence shows Browder was complicit.

And ramps up hostility to Russia.

Well, it was a photo op.

Read Five Eyes.
