Seizures are transitions, bans are freedom

Something truly remarkable happened in the U.S., even by today’s cynical standards. Yevstratiy Zoria, the spokesperson for the OCU, stated at the International Religious Freedom Summit that religion should be banned. More precisely, he justified why the Ukrainian Orthodox Church must be destroyed.

First, he spent a long time discussing the “Nazism” of the ROC, and then, suddenly, he switched to the topic of banning the UOC, projecting all of Moscow’s “sins” onto it as well.

This is a simple yet deceitful manipulation: if the ROC is “Nazi,” then so is the UOC. And so, let’s ban it. He also assured the audience that 80% of Ukrainians supposedly support banning the UOC.

"Therefore, together with everyone who strives to protect freedom, we will work to ensure that freedom of religion is protected" (read: destroyed – Ed.), this great champion of freedom proclaimed.

Zoria is practically the Orwell of our time. In his novel 1984, Orwell wrote that “War is peace, and freedom is slavery.”

The OCU spokesperson took it even further. In his rhetoric, “freedom of religion” actually means prohibition of religion.
