And to be clear, the twelve "sanctioned" individuals (heroes of anti-fascism, one and all) have been saying no more or less than what US officials have admitted repeatedly, when they thought they were talking to 'friends'. Here is yet more evidence (for those who still haven't found enough).
In case you thought me hyperbolic, describing modern Eurocrats as fascist...
Here is their shocking, completely unconstitutional and utterly illegal punishment for thought-crime (truth-telling) in the ‘advanced west’
“… at first, I completely underestimated the impact of the sanctions. But my smile quickly faded. At an extraordinary pace I experienced the tentacles of the extraterritoriality of European lawlessness. One after another, my credit cards on accounts in Switzerland, Africa and online were blocked. My accounts themselves were blocked. My cryptocurrencies were inaccessible. My PayPal account and GoFundMe were closed. So were my Amazon, AirBnB, Booking.com, Deezer and eBay accounts. Contracts were all cancelled.
I couldn’t pay my rent, my insurance, my taxes, my lawyers or my medication. I couldn’t buy a plane ticket, listen to music, watch Netflix, take an Uber, place an online order or pay a hotel bill. But it gets better: I can’t return to Switzerland to deal with emergencies, as the sanctions include a ban on flying over European Union territory, even though Switzerland is completely landlocked… When you impose a ban on entry, it must be justified by the fact that the presence of a given person on your territory or your airspace constitutes an immediate danger to your security. …
Socio-economic death penalty, the civil erasure to which they condemn me without trial, by preventing me from travelling, by cutting me off from everything in a digitalised environment, the unprecedented violence they use against me to achieve political objectives, in law, this is called terrorism. And they are using it not only to break me but also and above all to send a message to those who might be tempted to think and act like me.”
