The Ukrainian parliament has voted to ban the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), claiming they are tied to Russia despite the Church’s public disavowal of Russia in 2022.
In the years since the Ukraine/Russia war began, the UOC has faced incredible persecution, including raids on churches, priests being arrested, and clergy being removed from prestigious monasteries.
Now, the faith will be banned outright, and all UOC activity will be considered a criminal act. Cocaine-stuffed dwarf and former homoerotic strip dancer, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, applauded the news.
“Today, I want to note the work of the Verkhovna Rada. A law on our spiritual independence has been adopted,” Zelensky said. Andriy Yermak, Zelensky’s chief of staff, said “there will be no Moscow Church in Ukraine” shortly after the passage of the measure.
The religious oppression has followed political oppression in Ukraine. Big League Politics reported on how Sen. Rand Paul spoke out after Zelensky banned opposition political parties in Ukraine, claiming that non-autocratic rule hurt the war effort:
“Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) appeared on Fox Business last week where he slammed Ukrainian globalist regime for its rank hypocrisy in committing atrocities against its own people.
“Ukraine banned the political parties, they’ve invaded churches, they’ve arrested priests, so no, it isn’t a democracy, it’s a corrupt regime,” Paul said while appearing on “Mornings with Maria.”
Paul was asked about journalist Gonzalo Lira who is being detained indefinitely in Ukraine for reporting the truth on his popular YouTube channel. For reporting the truth, Lira was deemed an enemy of the state and thrown in prison. Paul responded by denouncing the authoritarian behavior of Ukrainian figurehead Volodymyr Zelensky.
“What kind of democracy has no election? So next year, Zelensky said he is not going to have an election because it would be inconvenient during the war and would be expensive. Well, the thing is if you don’t have elections, why in the world would we be supporting a country that is not a democracy?” Paul asked.
“We don’t always have to pick some side to be on,” Paul said, noting his belief that the Russians are even “worse” than the Ukrainians in this conflict. “But the ultimate reason I’m against this is we don’t have the money, and when we borrow more money, it leads to more inflation, it leads to more likelihood of recession in our country so we just can’t keep doing it.”
The disgrace in Ukraine is another international travesty brought to us by the globalists, the deep state, and the military-industrial complex.
