UPDATE: Ukrainian Spokesperson Who Threatened To Kill Americans Reportedly Scrapped


Do we live in some sort of weird alternative timeline or reality?

I have heard some of my favorite influencers and political writers ask this question when discussing current events, and I couldn’t help but ask myself that same question while writing this story.

WLTR previously reported that a faction inside Ukraine, purportedly acting ‘independently’ of the Ukrainian state, was issuing death threats against American journalists and notable figures via a hit list.

The person issuing the death threats has since been identified as American-born Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, whose original name is Michael John Cirillo.

That’s right, the truth is stranger than fiction. Not only was the spokesperson an American, but he’s also transgender and reportedly linked to U.S. intelligence services—you can’t make this stuff up.

This once again stressed Senator J.D. Vance’s initial inquiry into U.S. funding of the Ukrainian proxy war—was Cirillo paid through U.S. taxpayer dollars?

Following the death threats, Senator J.D. Vance sought answers from the Biden administration: “I’d like the Biden administration to explain who this crazy Ukrainian spokesperson is, and whether they stand by Ukraine’s clear attack on free speech.”

Senator Vance asked:“Are we really funding a military that is threatening the free speech rights of people who disagree with the Ukraine war? Why are our paid guns threatening the rights of Americans?”

Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, the English speaking spokesperson for the Ukrainian outfit threatening Americans, responded to JD Vance’s inquiry into his activities.

“Since the staff of JD Vance is keeping a close eye on my Twitter, I’d ask that the Senator kindly back the delivery of ATACMS to Ukraine, so we can end this war of Russian aggression as quickly as possible and make sure the next lost life is the last lost life of this genocide,” Cirillo said.

Breitbart provided this statement from Senator Vance:

“If the Ukrainians want to hire weirdos to threaten Americans and others for speaking their mind, I guess that’s their right.

They shouldn’t use our tax dollars to do it. And we shouldn’t pretend this is a war for freedom when our supposed ally is threatening violence to anyone who opposes the war.”

Senator Vance quickly shot back: “Since I’ve got your attention, are you/Ukraine still planning to kill people who engage in speech you don’t like? And are there any American citizens on the kill list?”

After a spotlight was cast on Cirillo’s activities, the Ukraine Territorial Defense Forces responded with this announcement condemning his actions and claiming them to be unsanctioned.

“The statements of JSgt Ashton-Cirillo in recent days were not approved by the command of the TDF or the command of the AFU. When conducting military operations against the aggressor, the defense forces of Ukraine strictly observe the norms of international humanitarian law,” the organization claimed.

Daily Caller noted:

Ashton-Cirillo’s suspension was immediate and TDF said it would be launching an investigation.

The announcement made no mention of what unapproved statements were allegedly uttered by the spokesperson. Ashton-Cirillo has not commented publicly on the matter at the time of writing.

Here was our original report yesterday:

Ukraine Has Americans On A “Kill List”

You know you’re VERY dumb when you send Billions upon Billions to a Country that hates you….and literally has a list of your own people they want to kill.

I guess though, to be fair, it’s not the first time we’ve done this.

Remember when we sent literal pallets of cash to Iran?

The country that shouts “Death to America”?

What did OBummer do?

Sent them a plane with literal $400 million in cash.

And to the fact-checkers who will say that’s not true, here is CNN from 216:

We all thought that was bad, but enter Biden who says “Hold My Beer”.

We now send Billions upon Billions to Ukraine who has a literal USA “Kill List”.

This is insane!

Why are we funding this indeed!

Folks, I am not exaggerating when I say this is quite literally TREASON!

When will justice fall?

One of the Americans on the Kill List is journalist Jack Posobiec:

The Kill List has even been confirmed by the lady or guy or whatever the hell that thing is at the top of your screen.

This is apparently a Trans (because, of course it is) Ukraine Ambassador to the USA talking about their Kill List of Americans.

How charming.

She or he or it or Demon looks like a Bad SNL Character.

Are we watching a movie — or a bad SNL skit?

If so, it’s a deadly movie and not very entertaining.

Watch this:

Seriously, this is a bad SNL outfit:

Your tax dollars at work folks:

Meanwhile, they can’t afford your $1,000/month of Social Security.

Going to have to cut that!

Meanwhile, you are LITERALLY funding Social Security and Retirement Programs for people in Ukraine.

As I said, one word:  TREASON

Here’s more from Jack Posobiec at Human Events:

Human Events Senior Editor and host of Human Events Daily Jack Posobiec has been added to an infamous Ukrainian “kill list” that has also targeted Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, and Glenn Greenwald in the past. The list, called “Myrovorets,” which translates roughly to “Peacemaker,” calls for retribution against perceived enemies of Ukraine.

The list refers to Posobiec as an “anti-Ukrainian propagandist” and “provocateur.”

In response to the threat, Posobiec said “After the collapse of his counteroffensive, Zelensky’s biggest threat isn’t me, it’s his own intelligence services. Hope you don’t get put on the CIA’s Early Retirement Plan, Volod. Drop the receipts on the Bidens and we’ll find you a nice McMansion in Sarasota.”

“Ukraine has added Human Events host and conservative US influencer Jack Posobiec to their ‘Myrovorets’ hitlist. The list also includes slain Russian journalist Darya Dugina (now “liquidated”) and briefly included Elon Musk” Ian Miles Cheong posted on X.

“Whoa. Why are we giving billions of dollars to a country who creates hit lists with American citizens on it?” Libs of TikTok creator Chaya Raichek asked.

“The US government is funding Ukraine while they spit in our face by putting American citizens on a hitlist for the crime of not supporting endless war in Ukraine. This is disgusting. Will legacy media ignore Ukraine targeting a journalist like
@JackPosobiec” Robby Starbuck asked.

Just last week an American representative from the Ukrainian military pledged that individuals voicing opposition to the Ukrainian government would be actively pursued.

“Next week, the teeth of the Russian devils will gnash even harder, and their rabid mouths will foam in uncontrollable frenzy as the world will see a favorite Kremlin propagandist pay for their crimes. This puppet of Putin is only the first. Russia’s war criminal propagandists will all be hunted down and justice will be served” Sarah Ashton-Cirillo warned.

In response to the warning, Charlie Kirk said “Ashton-Cirillo is now taking to social media threatening to hunt down and kill those who criticize the country’s government. … Why are we giving these psychos our money?”

“This video was made by an American born person in English directed towards the west, not the Kremlin, saying that if you engage in wrong speak, we’re going to murder you” Kirk added

It’s not just journalists or politicians on the list.

It’s also rockstars.

From Rolling Stone, Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters is confirmed to be on the list:

Waters certainly has a lot of politics. He is a vocal supporter of a free Palestine and Black Lives Matter, and has spoken out against right-wing demagogues including Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, and former U.S. President Donald Trump.

He has also accused the Syrian rescue group the White Helmets of being “fake,” against all evidence to the contrary; said the Syrian opposition faked chemical attacks by Bashar al-Assad, a contention no credible independent expert agrees with; and recently wrote an open letter to the Ukrainian first lady, Olena Zelenska, calling on her to encourage her husband to sue for peace with Russia — a move that would be tantamount to acquiescing to Putin. (In our interview, he dismisses well-documented accounts of Russian war crimes in Ukraine as “lies, lies, lies.”)

What he sees as his advocacy for Palestine has for some crossed the line from legitimate criticism into bigotry, whether deliberate or otherwise. Waters’ previous shows have had, for example, giant pigs emblazoned with the Star of David, alongside other symbols. Waters has repeatedly insisted his problem is Israel, not with Jews more broadly. However, as we discuss the subject during our interview, Waters argues that some Jewish people in the U.S. and U.K. bear responsibility for the actions of Israel, “particularly because they pay for everything.”

Waters wants his public to accept him — his music, politics, and all, and to take it seriously — and so Rolling Stone dispatched me, an investigative journalist, to interview him. (To hear an audio version of the full interview, press play above or listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.)

Waters says most of us are fed our narratives instead of being able to independently come to our own conclusions by the “completely controlled” media, which is “monopolized by the powers that be and by the government … oh, my God, Rolling Stone must be part of it.”

That compliant media, he continues, feeds us the idea that Russia and China are evil, and we by contrast are good. He sees things very differently.

“Of course, we — when I say we, I’m now speaking as a taxpayer in the United States — are not. We are the most evil of all by a factor of at least 10 times,” he says. “We kill more people. We interfere in more people’s elections. We, the American empire, is doing all this shit.”

This factor of 10 idea, I suggest, might not play all that well to any citizen of Ukraine right now — especially given the mounting evidence of war crimes we’ve seen, including mass graves, the use of rape as a weapon of war, targeting humanitarian convoys, and more.

“You’ve seen it on what I’ve just described to you as Western propaganda,” he retorts. “It’s exactly the obverse of saying Russian propaganda; Russians interfered with our election; Russians did that. It’s all lies, lies, lies, lies.”

I try to push gingerly through Waters’ brick wall. I haven’t just seen things via corporate media, I say — I’ve got friends in Ukraine, and friends who went to Ukraine as journalists. I’ve even got friends who are Ukrainian journalists. I’m relying on testimony of people I know who’ve seen things with their own eyes. And it’s not only Ukrainian officials and Western media reporting atrocities — there are war crimes investigations already underway.

This does not go far with Waters. “Maybe…” he wonders, before throwing a curveball. “Don’t forget, I’m on a kill list that is supported by the Ukrainian government. I’m on the fucking list, and they’ve killed people recently.… But when they kill you, they write ‘liquidated’ across your picture. Well, I’m one of those fucking pictures.”

“And when I read stuff, which I have done in blogs and things, criticizing me for my … I always go and look and see where it came from. And it’s amazing how often when I’ve done the hunt and hunted it down, it is da, da, da.ukraine.org,” he says, making up a hypothetical Ukrainian web address.

Waters’ claim isn’t true, but it isn’t completely false, either. There is a list maintained by a far-right Ukrainian organization that contains hundreds of thousands of enemies of Ukraine, from alleged members of the Wagner private military company to journalists accused of cooperating with puppet governments in the Donbas region. The site, which has been roundly internationally condemned — but not taken down by the Ukrainian government itself — claims not to be a kill list but rather “information for law enforcement authorities and special services.”

But hey, it’s not just Americans on the Kill List…

It’s also 327 Russian children!

It’s time to put a stop to this madness.

Enough is enough.
