September 26, 2022--On Thursday October 6 at 3:00 p.m., the Sare for Senate Campaign will hold a rally at 780 Third Avenue in Manhattan, the office of her electoral opponent U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer.

Sen. Schumer has not only refused to participate in any pre-midterm election debates, but more significantly, he has also refused to respond to Diane Sare’s inquiry regarding his vote to allocate funding for the Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), which has placed Sare’s name on what is widely seen as a “kill list” of alleged “Russian propagandists.” At their July 14, 2022 meeting which was co-sponsored by the U.S.-based Civilian Research and Development Foundation and underwritten by the U.S. State Department, The Acting Director of the CCD, Andriy Shapovalov, said that individuals on their list, which included 31 people who had spoken at recent conferences of the Schiller Institute, should be considered “Information terrorists” who should be charged with “war crimes.”

The CCD list was used as a source by the notorious Myrotvorets website and kill list from which several people have already been assassinated, with their photos subsequently appearing with the word “liquidated” written in red across them on their website. Russian journalist Darya Dubina who was killed by a car bomb on August 20 was on this list

According to the CCD, the crime of U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare is that she stated that sending more and more weapons to Ukraine was “insane…and could lead to nuclear war.”

In response Sare stated:

In 1990, James Baker III promised Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev that in return for the peaceful reunification of Germany, NATO would not move ‘one inch’ to the east. Instead, NATO has added over a dozen nations, and moved over 1000 km east, right up to Russia’s border. In 2014, further aggravating and already unacceptable situation, the Obama Administration, with the collusion of the GCHQ, overthrew the legitimate government of Ukraine, and brought in a pro-Nazi regime, a regime which celebrates the former Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera who murdered hundreds of thousands of Jews, Poles, and Russians. The Azov Battalion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces wears Nazi symbols on their uniforms and tattooed all over their bodies.

The Nazi-infested Ukrainian Army was shelling the Donbas for 8 years, and killed over 14,000 people, including several hundred children. President Putin warned the West repeatedly, and finally formally, in written treaty proposals as late as December 2021 that Russia could not tolerate Ukraine joining NATO, or ethnic cleansing of Russian speaking people, but rather than negotiate, President Biden, the UK and NATO escalated the arming and training of the Ukrainian Army, including preparing a massive strike against the Donbas in February of this year.

The West provoked Russia, by explicitly crossing the red lines that President Putin identified, and now is about to plunge us into a full scale, possibly nuclear, war with Russia by arrogantly ignoring the reality on the ground.

LaRouche candidate Diane Sare is not a minor candidate but is the only statewide independent candidate who had the political machine on the ground to secure over 45,000 signatures in six weeks to place her name on November 8 midterm ballot. The fact that Senator Schumer, the Senate Majority Leader, is trying to silence her, including by funding an organization which is threatening to harm her and dozens of other leaders and journalists raises the question whether the United States, which is the only nation in history to have used nuclear weapons in war, is planning to do so again, merely for the purpose of writing off the debt of a bankrupt trans-Atlantic financial system.
