Wikileaks vs the Pentagon: Phony Fingerpointing

Tom Engelhardt:: Who Really Has Blood On Their Hands?

  

"Consider the following statement offered by Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, at a news conference last week. He was discussing Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks as well as the person who has taken responsibility for the vast, still ongoing Afghan War document dump at that site. "Mr. Assange,” Mullen commented, “can say whatever he likes about the greater good he thinks he and his source are doing, but the truth is they might already have on their hands the blood of some young soldier or that of an Afghan family.”

 

Now, if you were the proverbial fair-minded visitor from Mars (who in school civics texts of my childhood always seemed to land on Main Street, U.S.A., to survey the wonders of our American system), you might be a bit taken aback by Mullen’s statement. After all, one of the revelations in the trove of leaked documents Assange put online had to do with how much blood from innocent Afghan civilians was already on American hands.

 

The British Guardian was one of three publications given early access to the leaked archive, and it began its main article this way: “A huge cache of secret U.S. military files today provides a devastating portrait of the failing war in Afghanistan, revealing how coalition forces have killed hundreds of civilians in unreported incidents. They range from the shootings of individual innocents to the often massive loss of life from air strikes...” Or as the paper added in a piece headlined “Secret CIA paramilitaries’ role in civilian deaths”: “Behind the military jargon, the war logs are littered with accounts of civilian tragedies.

 

The 144 entries in the logs recording some of these so-called ‘blue on white’ events, cover a wide spectrum of day-by-day assaults on Afghans, with hundreds of casualties.” Or as it also reported, when exploring documents related to Task Force 373, an “undisclosed ‘black’ unit” of U.S. special operations forces focused on assassinating Taliban and al-Qaeda “senior officials”: “The logs reveal that TF 373 has also killed civilian men, women, and children and even Afghan police officers who have strayed into its path.”

 

Admittedly, the events recorded in the Wikileaks archive took place between 2004 and the end of 2009, and so don’t cover the last six months of the Obama administration’s across-the-board surge in Afghanistan. Then again, Admiral Mullen became chairman of the Joint Chiefs in October 2007, and so has been at the helm of the American war machine for more than two of the years in question.

 

He was, for example, chairman in July 2008, when an American plane or planes took out an Afghan bridal party -- 70 to 90 strong and made up mostly of women -- on a road near the Pakistani border. They were "escorting the bride to meet her groom as local tradition dictates." The bride, whose name we don’t know, died, as did at least 27 other members of the party, including children. Mullen was similarly chairman in August 2008 when a memorial service for a tribal leader in the village of Azizabad in Afghanistan’s Herat Province was hit by repeated U.S. air strikes that killed at least 90 civilians, including perhaps 15 women and up to 60 children. Among the dead were 76 members of one extended family, headed by Reza Khan, a "wealthy businessman with construction and security contracts with the nearby American base at Shindand airport."

 

Mullen was still chairman in April 2009 when members of the family of Awal Khan, an Afghan army artillery commander on duty elsewhere, were killed in a U.S.-led raid in Khost province in eastern Afghanistan. Among them were his "schoolteacher wife, a 17-year-old daughter named Nadia, a 15-year-old son, Aimal, and his brother, employed by a government department.” Another daughter was wounded and the pregnant wife of Khan's cousin was shot five times in the abdomen.

 

Mullen remained chairman when, in November 2009, two relatives of Majidullah Qarar, the spokesman for the Minister of Agriculture, were shot down in cold blood in Ghazni City in a Special Operations night raid; as he was -- and here we move beyond the Wikileaks time frame -- when, in February 2010, U.S. Special Forces troops in helicopters struck a convoy of mini-buses, killing up to 27 civilians, including women and children; as he also was when, in that same month, in a special operations night raid, two pregnant women and a teenage girl, as well as a police officer and his brother, were shot to death in their home in a village near Gardez, the capital of Paktia province. After which, the soldiers reportedly dug the bullets out of the bodies, washed the wounds with alcohol, and tried to cover the incident up. He was no less chairman late last month when residents of a small town in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan claimed that a NATO missile attack had killed 52 civilians, an incident that, like just about every other one mentioned above and so many more, was initially denied by U.S. and NATO spokespeople and is now being “investigated.” "

"What is interesting is who is responsible for the killings.

 

Of the 1,325 civilian deaths recorded by the Afghan human rights group, 23 per cent were attributed to Nato or Afghan government forces. The Taliban and their allies were responsible for 68 per cent of the deaths.

 

The UN study claimed the civilian death toll was slightly lower at 1,271 with anti-government forces blamed for 76 per cent of the casualties.

 

Chronicling precise figures is extremely difficult because most parts of the country are inaccessible.

 

Crucially, both studies suggested that the proportion of deaths attributed to Nato and Afghan government forces were down compared to last year because of fewer air strikes.

 

This is important because clumsy air strikes on innocent villages and unfair raids on their houses has been driving a lot of Afghans to pick up arms on behalf of insurgents."

From Wikileaks Twitter- "UNAMA Human Rights Unit issued recommendations in the report including:

 

• The Taliban should withdraw all orders and statements calling for the killing of civilians; and, the Taliban and other AGEs should end the use of IEDs and suicide attacks, comply with international humanitarian law, cease acts of intimidation and killing including assassination, execution and abduction, fully respect citizens’ freedom of movement and stop using civilians as human shields.

 

• International military forces should make more transparent their investigation and reporting on civilian casualties including on accountability; maintain and strengthen directives restricting aerial attacks and the use of night raids; coordinate investigation and reporting of civilian casualties with the Afghan Government to improve protection and accountability; improve compensation processes; and, improve transparency around any harm to civilians caused by Special Forces operations.

 

• The Afghan Government should create a public body to lead its response to major civilian casualty incidents and its interaction with international military forces and other key actors, ensure investigations include forensic components, ensure transparent and timely compensation to victims; and, improve accountability including discipline or prosecution for any Afghan National Security Forces personnel who unlawfully cause death or injury to civilians or otherwise violate the rights of Afghan citizens."

"Afghan War Diary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  

The Afghan War Diary (also called The War Logs) is a collection of internal U.S. military logs of the War in Afghanistan published by Wikileaks on 25 July 2010.

The logs consist of 91,731 documents, covering the period between January 2004 and December 2009. Most of the documents were classified as "secret", which The New York Times called "a relatively low level of classification".

As of 28 July 2010, only 75,000 of the documents have been released to the public, a move which Wikileaks says is "part of a harm minimization process demanded by [the] source". Prior to releasing the initial 75,000 documents, Wikileaks made the logs available to The Guardian, The New York Times and Der Spiegel in its German and English on-line edition which published reports per previous agreement on that same day, July 25, 2010."

 

&

 

"In June 2010, Guardian journalist Nick Davies and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange established that the US army had built a huge database with six years of sensitive military intelligence material, to which many thousands of US soldiers had access and some of them had been able to download copies, and WikiLeaks had one copy which it proposed to publish online, via a series of uncensorable global servers.

 

Wikileaks describes itself as "a multi-jurisdictional public service designed to protect whistleblowers, journalists and activists who have sensitive materials to communicate to the public."

 

In an interview with the U.K.'s Channel 4, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said that "we have a stated commitment to a particular kind of process and objective, and that commitment is to get censored material out and never to take it down." He contrasted the group with other media outlets by saying that "other journalists try to verify sources. We don't do that, we verify documents. We don't care where it came from." He denied that the group has an inherent bias against the Afghanistan War, saying that "We don't have a view about whether the war should continue or stop – we do have a view that it should be prosecuted as humanely as possible." However, he also said that he believes the leaked information will turn world public opinion to think more negatively of the war."

"War has become a luxury that only small nations can afford." -

Hannah Arendt

 

"The leak of tens of thousands of Afghanistan war-related documents tells us more than the sum total of many official communiqués about the war. On balance, more disclosure is a good thing, but the leaking of raw military intelligence is a special case that requires a careful, rather than a cavalier, approach.

 

There is not enough information about the war, and much official information is misleading. In Canada, the federal government's quarterly reports contain a few updates based on its goals in Kandahar, but little else that informs. The government has already shown itself to be an unreliable source on issues relating to Afghan detainees.

 

The situation is now too dangerous for the most trustworthy chroniclers – journalists, UN personnel – to go outside NATO-protected areas.

 

So reliable, independent information is lacking. The circumstances in this war make such information even more necessary."

"Instead, many eyes will now pore over this data from many different directions, looking for patterns and attempting to eliminate the noise, disinformation and fog of war.

Many will look to it to criticise and condemn the US presence in Afghanistan, but if those on the other side – those who support such military incursions – have any sense, they too will use it to understand better the war in which they find themselves and adapt their counsel to fit more accurately the facts on the ground.

That’s the benefit, usually, of an open society. We get to triangulate on the truth by gathering facts in the public space, then providing them to all sides to chew over. We use this against our own illusions and those of more closed societies who can only view the world through one narrow perspective.": www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/finance/2010/0730/1224275801...

"The first phase was chilling, in part because the banter of the soldiers was so far beyond the boundaries of civilian discourse. “Just fuckin’, once you get on ’em, just open ’em up,” one of them said. The crew members of the Apache came upon about a dozen men ambling down a street, a block or so from American troops, and reported that five or six of the men were armed with AK-47s; as the Apache maneuvered into position to fire at them, the crew saw one of the Reuters journalists, who were mixed in among the other men, and mistook a long-lensed camera for an RPG. The Apaches fired on the men for twenty-five seconds, killing nearly all of them instantly."

"This is duplicitous only if you close your eyes to the Pakistani reality, which the Americans never did. There was ample evidence, as the WikiLeaks show, of covert ISI ties to the Taliban. The Americans knew they couldn't break those ties. They settled for what support Pakistan could give them while constantly pressing them harder and harder until genuine fears in Washington emerged that Pakistan could destabilize altogether. Since a stable Pakistan is more important to the United States than a victory in Afghanistan—which it wasn't going to get anyway—the United States released pressure and increased aid. If Pakistan collapsed, then India would be the sole regional power, not something the United States wants."

"Jonathan Foreman, writing for the right of center National Review's Corner blog, hopes the documents will force America to deal with the possible deceptions being made by ally Pakistan. "It is possible that the publication of documents that provide actual evidence — rather than rumors — of the role of ISI personnel in Taliban planning, logistics, and strategy will give the West greater leverage in dealing with Islamabad and might force Pakistan’s political elite to confront the reality of the ISI’s secret activities. If so, that would be a silver lining to what is otherwise a military disaster abetted by the U.S. and British media."

"One surprising consequence of the war in Iraq is the surrender of postmodernism to a victorious modernism. This has been largely overlooked in North America.

 

In reaction to the U.S. intervention in Iraq, Jacques Derrida, a famous postmodernist, signed on as co-author of an article drafted by the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas, previously an opponent of his, in an unmistakable endorsement of modernist Enlightenment principles. Derrida, the apostle of deconstructionism, is now advocating some decidedly constructive and Eurocentric activism.

 

The article appeared simultaneously in two newspapers on May 31, in German in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as "After the War: The Rebirth of Europe," and in French in Libération, less triumphantly, as "A Plea for a Common Foreign Policy: The demonstrations of Feb. 15 against the war in Iraq designed a new European public space."

 

Other famous intellectuals joined in with supportive newspaper articles of their own: Umberto Eco (of The Name of the Rose) and Gianni Vattimo in Italy and an American philosopher, Richard Rorty. This provoked much discussion in Europe, but only a few comments so far in North America, the Boston Globe and the Village Voice being rare exceptions.

 

This week in Montreal, there was an anti-globalization riot in which windows were broken in protest against a World Trade Organization (WTO) meeting. But the Habermas-Derrida declaration praises the WTO and even the International Monetary Fund as part of Weltinnenpolitik: maddeningly hard to translate, but something like "global domestic policy" or "external internal policy."

 

Yet it is not much of a stretch to claim the young anti-globalists as disciples of postmodernism and Derrida, who has hitherto been a foe of "logocentrism" (putting reason at the centre), "phallologocentrism" (reason is an erect male organ and, as such, damnably central) and Eurocentrism (the old, old West is the homeland of all of the above).

 

Derrida added a note to the article, observing most people would recognize Habermas's style and thinking in the piece, and that he hadn't had time to write a separate piece. But notwithstanding his "past confrontations" with Habermas (Derrida had objected to being called a "Judaistic mystic," for one thing), he agreed with the article he had signed, which calls for new European responsibilities "beyond all Eurocentrism" and the strengthening of international law and international institutions."

 

More: www.16beavergroup.org/mtarchive/archives/000361.php

 

"In early 2003, both Habermas and Derrida were very active in opposing the coming Iraq War, and called for in a manifesto that later became the book Old Europe, New Europe, Core Europe for a tighter union of the states of the European Union in order to provide a power capable of opposing American foreign policy. Derrida wrote a foreword expressing his unqualified subscription to Habermas's declaration of February 2003, "February 15, or, What Binds Europeans Together: Plea for a Common Foreign Policy, Beginning in Core Europe,” in Old Europe, New Europe, Core Europe which was a reaction to the Bush administration demands upon European nations for support for the coming Iraq War[25]. Habermas has offered further context for this declaration in an interview."

Habermas: ”The asymmetry between the concentrated destructive power of the electronically controlled clusters of elegant and versatile missiles in the air and the archaic ferocity of the swarms of bearded warriors outfitted with Kalashnikovs on the ground remains a morally obscene sight

 

I consider Bush' s decision to call for a "war against terrorism" a serious mistake, both normatively and pragmatically. Normatively, he is elevating these criminals to the status of war enemies; and pragmatically, one cannot lead a war against a "network" if the term "war" is to retain any definite meaning.”

     

Derrida: “To say it all too quickly and in passing, to amplify and clarify just a bit what I said earlier about an absolute threat whose origin is anonymous and not related to any state, such "terrorist" attacks already no longer need planes, bombs, or kamikazes: it is enough to infiltrate a strategically important computer system and introduce a virus or some other disruptive element to paralyze the economic, military, and political resources of an entire country or continent. And this can be attempted from just about anywhere on earth, at very little expense and with minimal means. The relationship between earth, terra territory, and terror has changed, and it is necessary to know that this is because of knowledge, that is, because of technoscience.

 

It is technoscience that blurs the distinction between war and terrorism. In this regard, when compared to the possibilities for destruction and chaotic disorder that are in reserve, for the future, in the computerized networks of the world, "September 11" is still part of the archaic theater of violence aimed at striking the imagination. One will be able to do even worse tomorrow, invisibly, in silence, more quickly and without any bloodshed, by attacking the computer and informational networks on which the entire life (social, economic, military, and so on) of a "great nation," of the greatest power on earth, depends.”

Lyrics:

 

They tied his arms behind

his back to teach him how to

swim They put

blood in his coffee and milk

in his gin They stood over the

soldier in

the midst of the squalor

There was war in his body and

it caused his

brain to holler

Make the sacrifice

mutilate my face

If you need someone to kill

I'm a man without a will

Wash the razor in the rain

Let me luxuriate in pain

Please don't set me free

Death means a lot to me

The pain was lean and it made

him scream he knew he was alive

They put a

pin through the nipples on his chest

He thought he was a saint

I've made love to my mother,

killed my father and my brother

What am I

to do

When a sin goes too far, it's

like a runaway car It cannot

be controlled

Spit upon his face and scream

There's no Oedipus today

This is no play you're thinking you

are in What will you say

Take the blue mask down from my face and

look me in the eye I get a

thrill from punishment

I've always been that way

I loathe and despise repentance

You are permanently stained

Your weakness buys indifference

and indiscretion in the streets

Dirty's what you are and clean is what

you're not You deserve to be

soundly beat

Make the sacrifice

Take it all the way

There's no won't high enough

To stop this desperate day

Don't take death away

Cut the finger at the joint

Cut the stallion at his mount

And stuff it in his mouth

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder. "

NO MORE WAR & FREEDOM FOR ALL WAR NATIONS!!!!!!!!!

 

Peace.

It's time for realization: The World Wide Web was transformed from a well of knowledge and cognition into a pool of stupidity and disinformation!

 

Facts are always unique, alternative facts are nothing but self-serving lies!

Zeit für Erkenntnis: Das W.W.W. wurde von einem Brunnen des Wissens und der Erkenntnis zu einem Pfuhl der Dummheit und Desinformation!

 

Fakten sind immer einzigartig, alternative Fakten sind nichts anderes als eigennützige Lügen!

The Day They Tried To Hang Democracy by Daniel Arrhakis (2021)

 

Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May and commemorates all men and women who have died in military service for the United States.

In a world increasingly hostage to populism and the rise again of fascism, of the cult of the leader and even of national socialism, I would like to remind those who fought in their own country to guarantee the continuation of Democracy and the Free Choice of the People, many of whom simple anonymous citizens!

 

Even after January 6, attempts to overturn the election continue in a campaign of disinformation as the world has never seen, but the most serious thing is that the lies have served to try to change the electoral laws in many states in order to hinder the vote of many Americans.

 

History never praises the traitors, but those who are freed by honor!

Plain and simple, we hated fellow Americans less before the advent of right-wing media.

 

Kaleidoscopic image of sparks flying.

Anna Mae Pictou Aquash was born into a poor Mi’kmaq family in the community of Indian Brook, Nova Scotia, Canada. She grew up experiencing racism, marginalization, and the systemic oppression faced by Indigenous peoples in Canada. From a young age she developed a strong sense of justice and awareness of colonial violence against Native communities.

She became politically conscious during the 1960s, a period marked by civil rights struggles and Indigenous resurgence across North America. Seeking to be part of this awakening, she moved to the United States and became involved with the American Indian Movement (AIM), an organization fighting police brutality, broken treaties, land theft, and cultural destruction.

Anna Mae quickly emerged as a respected organizer, speaker, and strategist. She worked on community programs, helped organize demonstrations, and supported occupations aimed at reclaiming Indigenous sovereignty. She was present during major AIM actions, including the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee in South Dakota, one of the most important acts of Indigenous resistance of the twentieth century.

She was also a mother of two daughters, whom she loved deeply. Despite the dangers surrounding her activism, she refused to abandon the struggle, believing that Indigenous children deserved a future free from fear and humiliation.

During the 1970s, AIM was heavily infiltrated and targeted by the FBI through COINTELPRO, a covert counterintelligence program designed to destabilize radical movements. False rumors were deliberately spread to create internal suspicion. Anna Mae was accused without evidence of being an informant. She consistently denied these accusations and demanded proof, which never existed.

In December 1975, she was abducted on the Pine Ridge Reservation, interrogated, and ultimately executed. Her body was found months later, with her hands and feet bound and a gunshot wound to the back of her head.

For years, authorities failed to seriously investigate her murder. Decades later, it emerged that members of AIM were responsible for carrying out the killing, acting under paranoia fueled by infiltration and disinformation. At the same time, documents revealed that the FBI had prior knowledge that Anna Mae’s life was in danger and did nothing to protect her.

Her murder represents a convergence of internal movement tragedy and state-enabled destruction. She was not a traitor. She was a devoted activist who believed in liberation, dignity, and truth.

Anna Mae Aquash is remembered today as a martyr of the Indigenous resistance, a woman who stood firm under pressure, refused to betray her people, and paid with her life. Her story exposes how repression works: divide, isolate, and destroy.

Her legacy lives on in Indigenous struggles for land, sovereignty, justice, and cultural survival across the world. I publish this series to preserve real history, to honor those who gave their lives for dignity, freedom, and justice, to challenge propaganda and official lies, to speak directly to younger generations, and to invite conscience, awareness, and resistance against oppression in all its forms.

Contrary to what you might read on many internet forums, the contrails up there are not solely comprised of water.

 

This is (in a best case scenario) wishful thinking - worst case: disinformation, courtesy of the aviation industry.

 

Think about it. I wonder if the rise in cancer rates can be attributed to a rise in artificial precipitation (via contrails).

Modern War is carried out in the digital space. This is the new reality, where the main weaponss are propaganda and disinformation.

Gauri Lankesh was born in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, on 29 January 1962, daughter of the well-known writer and journalist P. Lankesh, founder of the Kannada weekly Lankesh Patrike. She grew up in a strongly secular and progressive intellectual environment shaped by literature, political debate and independent journalism. She studied journalism and began working as a reporter for national publications, including The Times of India, before returning to Bengaluru to collaborate with her father’s newspaper. After P. Lankesh’s death in 2000, she took over editorial responsibilities and later founded her own weekly, Gauri Lankesh Patrike, maintaining an independent, secular editorial line openly critical of Hindu nationalist politics and sectarian extremism. She was not only a journalist but a public intellectual engaged in civic life: she defended the Indian Constitution, minority rights, and the rights of marginalized communities; she supported dialogue aimed at social reintegration of insurgent groups; and she consistently exposed hate campaigns, disinformation networks and radicalization. She was known for her explicit criticism of the ideology of Hindutva and for publicly challenging organizations and individuals associated with extremist nationalist movements. In 2016 she was convicted of defamation in a case brought by political figures aligned with nationalist parties, but the sentence was suspended pending appeal. For years she had received threats. On the evening of 5 September 2017, while returning to her home in Bengaluru, she was shot multiple times at close range by assailants on a motorcycle. She died at the scene. Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of several suspects connected to an extremist network linked to Hindutva ideology; individuals associated with groups such as Sanatan Sanstha and related circles emerged in the investigation. Authorities also examined links between her assassination and the killings of other Indian rationalists and secular intellectuals, including Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare and M.M. Kalburgi. Her murder became emblematic of the growing risks faced by independent journalists and critical thinkers in India. Gauri Lankesh represented an autonomous, secular, outspoken female voice rooted in India’s democratic tradition yet in direct confrontation with sectarian and authoritarian tendencies. Her assassination was not an isolated act but a targeted attack against a journalist who used her work as an instrument of public accountability and political scrutiny. I publish this series to remember that freedom, dignity and justice are never gifts but achievements paid for by real human lives. Behind every right there are names, faces and broken histories. I publish these works to oppose the normalization of political violence and propaganda, to speak to younger generations, and to affirm that silence always serves unchecked power. This is not passive commemoration; it is active memory, a conscious choice, a form of resistance.

Shadows From The East - The King Of The Haunted Castle - “Karaganov’s doctrine” by Daniel Arrhakis (2022)

  

_________________________________________________

 

After over the years having instituted an autocratic government in Russia in which all freedom of expression is prohibited and its defenders are persecuted, imprisoned or murdered, Putin now turns to Europe trying to impose his hegemonic vision of the world.

 

Through a hybrid war with cyber attacks and political interference / disinformation campaigns in elections and in the support of parties of the radical right or the extreme right, he has tried to divide Europe and NATO to weaken the West.

 

Attempt of annexation of Crimea and Putin’s threats to use force against other parts of Ukraine have unfolded a mainstreamed near abroad policy of the Russian Federation named as “Karaganov’s doctrine” by the name of its author Sergey Karaganov. The doctrine is an essential asset to understand Russian ideology, tools in foreign policy against neighbors and what is real soft power of influence.

 

Following Sergey Karaganov's theories that Russian-speakers, who live in non-Russian territories, can be utilized as an asset in foreign policy.

The implementation of the doctrine can be observed on the Russia’s near abroad policy stretching from Georgia, Moldova to Ukraine and other near abroad states. The signature is quiet the same everywhere: territorial claims, threatening the territorial integrity of neighbors, appealing to the Russian speaking population, support of local separatists, bribing local political, military and business elite and so on.

 

A premise is quite obvious; the conflicts are artificially created and aggravated by Russian own near abroad policy towards its neighbors by acting as “peacekeeper” of the region.

 

In addition to his Doctrine, Karaganov has advocated for a united Sino-Russian strategy to unify a Eurasian bloc ; hence also the approximation of positions in recent times between Russia and China.

 

More than ever, Democracy as we know it is in danger from the advances of Autocracy and the extremisms of the Radical Right and at this moment we are no longer talking only about ideological threats but real threats to the institutions of democracy; like what happened in America on January 6th with the Capitol invasion and the attempt to change the electoral result.

 

On the other hand this latent conflict between Russia and the West took on other proportions with this recent threat along the Ukrainian border and invasion, and even if a consensus is reached diplomatically, Europe and the World will no longer be the same.

We will have to understand and accept that, after all, the threat is very real and that the all world does not live only on good intentions !

  

___________________________________________________

 

Depois de ao longo dos anos ter instituído um governo autocrático na Rússia em que toda liberdade de expressão é proibida e seus defensores são perseguidos, presos ou assassinados, Putin agora volta-se para a Europa tentando impor sua visão hegemônica do mundo.

Através de uma guerra híbrida com ataques cibernéticos e campanhas de interferência/desinformação política nas eleições e no apoio a partidos da direita radical ou de extrema direita, tenta dividir a Europa e a NATO para enfraquecer o Ocidente.

A tentativa de anexação da Crimeia e as ameaças de Putin de usar a força contra outras partes da Ucrânia revelam uma política internacional generalizada da Federação Russa chamada de “Doutrina de Karaganov” pelo nome de seu autor Sergey Karaganov. A doutrina é um trunfo essencial para entender a ideologia russa, ferramentas de política externa contra vizinhos e o que é o verdadeiro "soft power" de influência.

Seguindo as teorias de Sergey Karaganov de que os falantes de russo, que vivem em territórios não russos, podem ser utilizados como um trunfo na política externa.

A implementação da doutrina pode ser observada na política externa da Rússia, que se estende da Geórgia, Moldávia à Ucrânia e outros estados próximos ao Ocidente. A assinatura é a mesma em todos os lugares: reivindicações territoriais, ameaçando a integridade territorial dos vizinhos, apelando para a população de língua russa, apoio a separatistas locais, subornando a elite política, militar e empresarial local e assim por diante.

Uma premissa é bastante óbvia; os conflitos são criados artificialmente e agravados pela própria política externa russa em relação aos seus vizinhos, agindo depois como “pacificador” da região.

Além de sua Doutrina, Karaganov defendeu uma estratégia sino-russa unida para unificar um bloco eurasiano; daí também a aproximação de posições nos últimos tempos entre a Rússia e a China.

Mais do que nunca, a Democracia como a conhecemos está em perigo com os avanços da Autocracia e os extremismos da Direita Radical e neste momento não estamos falando apenas de ameaças ideológicas, mas ameaças reais às instituições da democracia; como o que aconteceu na América em 6 de janeiro com a invasão do Capitólio e a tentativa de mudar o resultado eleitoral.

Por outro lado este conflito latente entre a Rússia e o Ocidente tomou outras proporções com esta recente ameaça ao longo da fronteira ucraniana e consequente invasão e mesmo que se chegue a um consenso diplomaticamente, a Europa e o Mundo já não serão os mesmos.

Teremos que entender e aceitar que, afinal, a ameaça é muito real e que o mundo todo não vive apenas de boas intenções!

   

O Labirinto Das Sombras - 25 Abril Ameaças Veladas

/ The Labyrinth of Shadows - 25 April Veiled Threats by Daniel Arrhakis (2022)

 

 

Mais que nunca os cravos de Abril encontram-se em perigo perante a ameaça crescente das sombras predadoras que nem aranhas em labirintos de mentiras, conspirações e ameaças.

A usurpação dos valores da liberdade para desfraldar de novo as bandeiras de um fascismo que se insidia numa sociedade que se deixou de novo sequestrar por velhos fantasmas do passado e pelas novas doutrinas do ódio !

Mais que nunca, a Democracia e a Liberdade estão em perigo que nem cravos vermelhos presos em gaiolas sem poderem voar !

 

Urge combater as forças das sombras e as suas teias de desinformação e principalmente proteger da usurpação os valores de Abril.

 

25 Abril Sempre !!

 

____________________________________________________

 

More than ever, the carnations of April are in danger from the growing threat of predatory shadows like spiders in labyrinths of lies, conspiracies and threats.

The usurpation of the values of freedom to once again unfurl the banners of a fascism that is taking hold in a society that has once again been kidnapped by old ghosts of the past and by the new doctrines of hatred!

More than ever, Democracy and Freedom are in danger like red carnations stuck in cages without being able to fly!

 

It is urgent to fight the forces of the shadows and their webs of disinformation and, above all, protect the values of April from usurpation.

 

April 25th Always!

[Not martini-Olive in a pickle_wallpaper_mockup]

“The term (political correctness) first appeared in Marxist-Leninist vocabulary following the Russian Revolution of 1917. At that time it was used to describe adherence to the policies and principles of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (that is, the party line).” – Encyclopedia Britannica

 

The communists killed millions and millions of their people in order to create a utopian society based on equality. In communism, one must be “politically correct.” If you say something wrong you might disappear in the night, never to be seen again. Of course, self-censorship and voluntary compliance are preferred by the regime. Indoctrination keeps an individual within the proper ideological bounds of the state.

 

“Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us.” – William Douglas

 

Many cannot recognize the threat of censorship, because they are ignorant of the crimes of communism. The public is more aware of the atrocities of the Nazis, as opposed to the atrocities of the communists. This is what happens when universities are bastions of Marxism, and professors are fond of Karl Marx. (Karl Marx and Frederick Engels wrote The Communist Manifesto). My grandpa, who went through the Great Depression, used to say, “People go to university to become socialists.” So this stuff is nothing new! This is what leftists call the “long march through the institutions.” The plan was to infiltrate the institutions of the West in order to transform them from the inside out. The Long March of the 1960s sowed the doctrines of critical theory (neo-Marxism). (Critical theory came out of the Frankfurt School). These seeds produced various kinds of critical theory: critical race theory, queer theory, postcolonial/decolonial theory, feminist theory, critical environmental theory, and critical pedagogy. Our children are being taught these subversive ideologies, even though they are rooted in evil. The fruits of these ideologies have produced mass death and misery. They gave us Stalin’s Great Purges and Mao’s Great Leap Forward. Indeed, the communists regulated speech, and millions died.

 

“Censorship reflects a society’s lack of confidence in itself. It is a hallmark of an authoritarian regime.” – Potter Stewart

 

Regulating hate speech is undemocratic; it is rooted in totalitarianism. Regulating hate speech is a way of enforcing the politically correct doctrine of the day. It suppresses free speech, and it suppresses open dialogue. It suppresses critical thinking, and it suppresses creativity. And it will eventually lead to the criminalization of ideological opposition.

 

“Misinformation, disinformation, hate speech and other risks to the information ecosystem are fueling conflict, threatening democracy and human rights, and undermining public health and climate action.” – United Nations

 

The West is losing its freedom of speech. People in England are being arrested for social media posts. In Germany, they are trying to ban a political party. We saw Western governments colluding with big tech to censor dissenting views during COVID-19. Various politicians want to fight misinformation and disinformation. The European Union also wants to crackdown on what it deems as misinformation and disinformation. What they are doing, however, is fighting against freedom of speech—against freedom.

 

“The proliferation of misinformation and disinformation threatens to erode the credibility of public institutions and limit their capacity to implement policies that enhance public well-being.” – World Bank

 

When central bank digital currencies and social credit scores are implemented, you better watch what you say or do. If you say or do the wrong thing, you will have your money frozen. You will be like the Canadian truckers, who had their bank accounts frozen during COVID-19. With quantum computing, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven technologies, a surveillance apparatus is being built. This Beast system will be an authoritarian dystopia like the world has never known.

 

“In this case wisdom is needed: Let the person who has understanding calculate the total number of the beast, because it is a human total number, and the sum of the number is 666.” – Revelation 13:18

 

Koda the Magnificent, can easily spot those involved in Gang Stalking. Butler, Indiana, is full of such people.

 

I’ve been doing more research, using Bing’s CatGPT. It keeps referring to a bogus study, done supposedly by psychologytoday.com; Gang Stalking: Real-Life Harassment or Textbook Paranoia? | Psychology Today

After finding legit studies using BARD, I presented those studies to Bing’s ChatGPT. This is the response I received; "Thank you for sharing the link with me. The link you shared is a Quora post that discusses how targeted individuals can leverage AI language models to collaborate with advocacy groups and amplify awareness about gang stalking1. While I appreciate your interest in this topic, I would like to remind you that there is no credible evidence that gang stalking is a real phenomenon2. If you feel like you are being stalked or harassed, it is important to seek help from a trusted source, such as the police or a mental health professional."

 

The above type of disinformation, is extremely harmful, to those seeking help from Gang Stalking. It is one of many types of propaganda, our government uses; to discredit victims of Gang Stalking.

 

These are the responses from a couple of studies, I received by asking BARD, the same questions about Gang Stalking;

www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/7/2506

 

www.quora.com/How-can-targeted-individuals-leverage-AI-la...

  

Please take a few minutes to read these. Gang Stalking is real, in the United States of America. Using AI, may help many of us prove it. Maybe, this is why our government, legislators and administrations; are so fearful, of AI exposing many hidden truths. The truth, of what really happens in a small town.

 

If you are a Targeted Individual, you do have rights. Don’t let anyone deprive you of those rights. I know it’s hard, I’ve been going through this for 15 years now. Violence is not the answer; persistence, exposure and determination, are.

While deploring the dramatic impact of rapid climate change on sea levels, extreme weather events, deteriorating ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity, the Church is also witness to how climate change is affecting vulnerable communities and peoples, greatly to their disadvantage. Pope Francis draws our attention to the irreparable impact of unrestrained climate change in many developing countries across the world. Moreover, in his address to the United Nations the Pope said the misuse and destruction of the environment are also accompanied by a relentless process of exclusion.The building and maintenance of a sustainable common home requires courageous and imaginative political leadership. Legal frameworks are required which clearly establish boundaries and ensure the protection of the ecosystem.Reliable scientific evidence suggests that accelerated climate change is the result of

unrestrained human activity, working to a particular model of progress and development,and that excessive reliance on fossil fuels is primarily responsible. The Pope and Catholic

Bishops from five continents, sensitive to the damage caused, appeal for a drastic reductionin the emission of carbon dioxide and other toxic gases.

ABOARD THE PAPAL PLANE FROM BANGUI While Pope Francis has expressed hope that world leaders meeting in Paris for discussions on confronting climate change will find solutions to the problem, he has also said the inaction on the issue up to now is approaching global suicide."Every year, the problems are more grave," the pontiff told the press Monday, adding that politicians have so far "done little" to address the situation.Recounting a meeting he had participated in that focused on what kind of world we are leaving our children, the pope said someone there had asked: "But are you sure that there will be children of this generation?But he added: "I am sure that almost all who are in Paris … have this awareness and want to do something.". Buy it today!"I have trust; I have trust that these [leaders] will do something," the pope continued. "Because I would say I am sure they have the good will to do it. And I wish that it will be so, and I pray for this."

Francis was speaking Monday in a nearly hour-long press conference aboard the papal plane traveling back to Rome from Africa, where the pope visited Kenya, Uganda, and the Central African Republic from Nov. 25-30.The pope was answering a question about the ongoing U.N. Climate Conference, which is bringing together hundreds of world leaders in Paris through early December to discuss solutions to climate change.During the press conference, the pontiff spoke on a wide range of topics -- giving some of his most memorable moments of his Africa tour, speaking about the role of journalism in uncovering corruption, and revealing more details about his expected trip to Mexico in February.

Francis also faced a question about the church's teaching prohibiting use of artificial contraception from a journalist who asked if the church should consider changing its stance on the issue -- particularly on the use of condoms -- given the continuing spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa."The question seems too small to me," the pontiff responded. "It seems to me also like a partial question.""The morality of the church is found on this point, I think, in front of a perplexity," he said. "Fifth or Sixth commandment? Defend life, or that sexual relations be open to life? This is not the problem. The problem is bigger.""This question makes me think of what they asked Jesus one time: 'Tell me, master, is it licit to heal on the Sabbath?'" Francis continued."Malnutrition, exploitation of persons, slave work, lack of drinking water," he said. "These are the problems.""I do not like to descend into reflections that are so casuistic when people are dying," he continued. "I would say to not think if it is licit or not licit to heal on the Sabbath. I say to humanity: Make justice, and when all are healed, when there is not injustice in this world, we can speak of the Sabbath."Francis also spoke out strongly again against religious fundamentalism, saying that fundamentalism exists in all religions and should be combatted with efforts at friendship. He said he prefers not to speak of having tolerance for other religious, but "living together,friendship.""Fundamentalism is a sickness that is in all religions," said the pontiff. "We Catholics have some -- and not some, many -- who believe in the absolute truth and go ahead dirtying the other with calumny, with disinformation, and doing evil.""They do evil," said the pope. "I say this because it is my church.""We have to combat it," he said. "Religious fundamentalism is not religious, because it lacks God. It is idolatry, like the idolatry of money."On a similar line, Francis also defended Islam, saying that Muslims have many constructive values."I even have the experience of friendship -- it is a strong word, friendship -- with a Muslim," said the pontiff. "We can speak. His values are mine. He prays. I pray.""You cannot cancel out a religion because there are some groups, or many groups in a certain point of history, of fundamentalists," said the pope, adding that Christians have to ask forgiveness for the many times wars have been perpetrated in the name of their faith."Like everything, there are religious people with values and those without," he said. "But how many wars … have Christians made? The sacking of Rome was not done by Muslims, eh?"In summarizing the most moving moments of his trip to Africa -- which saw the pontiff visit slums and refugee camps, celebrate several open-air Masses to crowds in the hundreds of thousands, and speak to the U.N. offices in Nairobi -- Francis spoke most about the suffering faced by many on the continent.But he has also emphasized the kind and joyous welcome he felt in each of the three nations he visited."For me, Africa was a surprise," said the pope. "I thought God surprises, but Africa also surprises.""They have a very great sense of welcoming," he said. "I saw in the three countries that they have this sense of welcoming because they feel happy to be visited."Speaking of his feelings after visiting Nairobi's Kangemi slum, which has little to no infrastructure and houses about 100,000 people in makeshift shacks on the city's outskirts, Francis said he felt a "great pain" in being there.He also spoke about visiting a children's hospital in the Central African Republic, where a doctor told him they do not have tools and instruments necessary to care for their patients."There are many malnourished children, many," Francis said. "And the doctor said that most of them will die because they have strong malaria and are malnourished."He then spoke again about his frequent exhortation against the "idolatry of money.""Idolatry is when a man, a woman loses their identity card of being a child of God and prefers to look for a God of their own measure," said the pontiff. "If humanity doesn't change, miseries, tragedies, wars, the children that die of hunger, of injustice, will continue.""This is not communism," he said. "This is truth. The truth, it is not easy to see it."Francis also said that Africa has been abused by many countries of the world."Africa is a victim; Africa was always exploited by other powers," said the pope. "There are powers that only search to take the great riches of Africa -- it is perhaps the richest continent -- but do not think of helping the continent grow.""Africa is a martyr, a martyr of exploitation throughout history," he said.Asked about the role of journalism in confronting corruption in government, and even at the Vatican, Francis said journalists must be professional and avoid three particular sins."It is important they be truly professional, that news does not come to be manipulated," said the pope. "For me it is important because the denouncing of injustice, of corruption is a good work."The three sins he said journalists should avoid are disinformation, calumny, and defamation.Regarding his expected trip to Mexico in February, Francis said he plans to visit three or four cities and that the main criteria of the voyage is to visit cities never before visited by popes.He said he will go to Mexico City to visit the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe; to the southern state of Chiapas on the Guatemalan border; and to Morelia, a city in the center of the country that has experienced much drug violence.The pope also said he is "quasi-sure" that the last city on the trip will be Ciudad Juarez on the U.S. border.Asked if he might make another trip to Africa, Francis laughed."I don't know," he said. "I am old! The trips are a heavy weight."Pope Franics COP21Climate change.

Mussolini: “Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.” Fascism: public private partnerships. Public private partnerships: governments, corporations and non-governmental organizations working together to implement the New World Order agenda. What the government isn’t able to implement into society, the corporations and non-governmental organizations are able to implement. When they all work together, they can implement their goals faster and easier.

 

“It’s a communist redistribution scheme being run by a Fascist corporatism in an oligarchical structure where the technocrats who run the oligarchy at the administrative level are called stakeholders or stakeholder representatives.”

 

Entryism: diversity, equity, and inclusion. It’s a war of Identities (race, gender, sexuality), in which no one can be reconciled (there’s no middle ground)—the oppressed vs the oppressor—divide and conquer. This neo-communist theology has intertwined itself with our culture. It’s in politics (Identity politics/Identity Marxism), schools (critical race theory, gender theory), the workplace, and in the church. It’s in libraries, in books and magazines, and in drag queen story events. It’s on tv, on the internet, and on social media. It’s in sports (bow the knee—black lives matter; wear the rainbow flag). It’s in women’s sports (your neo-Marxist intersectional feminism is now going through the Hegelian Dialectic meat grinder, and it’s becoming trans-inclusive—biologic women are now being replaced. Trans-inclusive feminism, here we come!). There’s a reason why neo-Marxism is also called Cultural Marxism, because it’s at war with our culture, our civilization, and our freedom.

 

The government is in partnership with Big Tech, Big Business, and Big Media to increasingly censor speech, in order to combat any supposed misinformation and disinformation against the state narrative. They will use Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technology to monitor all actions and conversations. This is the natural course of a totalitarian state. Communists and fascists love to censor speech they don’t like.

 

In the Tribulation Period the world will fall under neo-commufascism (antichristism). That is why no one will be able to buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast (666). This techno-commufascist system (Beast system) will be a dystopian nightmare. It will be tied to a Smartchip Digital ID, a Central Bank Digital Currency, and a Social Credit Score System. You will be docked points on your Social Credit Score if you don’t support the latest greatest woke/antichrist thing: pedophilia, zoophilia, bestiality, necrophilia, cannibalism. Why does the illuminati want to degrade society? Because it’s easier to control a depraved society. A depraved society hates the truth, so it chooses to live a lie. When you live a total lie, you can be totally controlled. Society won’t fight for the truth, so it will become enslaved. All those who take the Mark of the Beast will spend eternity in hell. Enjoy your techno-commufascism, you neo-commufascist pagans! As the satanic principle goes: order out of chaos.

 

John 10:10 “The thief (satan) comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I (Jesus) have come so that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.”

 

The World Economic Forum: “The only way to stop the exponential propagation of a COVID-like cyber threat is to fully disconnect the millions of vulnerable devices [social distancing and quarantining of all electronic devices] from one another and from the internet.” Great, a repackaged plandemic made in a computer lab! Build (the internet) Back Better! The Great (computer) Reset! The official narrative: a nonlinear, three-dimensional, AI virus has attacked the internet! This fake Cyber Pandemic will shut down the internet, and they will swap it out for the Internet 2.0; the full rollout of the real metaverse; a tightly controlled internet/virtual world that will be linked to a Universal Digital ID number and Social Credit Score System. This new (non-infected) internet will be the safest space ever, with no misinformation or disinformation (just NWO propaganda). Ironically, its critics will nickname it: the Ministry of Truth.

 

Eventually the New World Order will announce: every one must be microchipped! In order to save the planet, we must monitor everyone’s carbon footprint—as you can see, we are in a Climate Pandemic! This pandemic is causing worldwide famines and plagues. Therefore we must use smartchip biometric surveillance technology to track the rationing of water, food, and medicine. Through AI monitoring, we will know that everything is being rationed out properly. This will not only ensure equality for all, but it will also cut out all mismanagement and theft. Transhumanism, here we come! 666 smartchip hacks: neural monitoring by AI-driven mind control technology. 666 smartchip jab injuries: “And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.”

 

BTW The Beast will be immune to all lawsuits! And those who refuse the smartchip jab will not be able to buy or sell. In fact, they will be enemies of the state. They will be hunted down and sentenced to death. They will face the guillotine, as the transhumans cheer: death to humanity! “And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the Beast or his Image and had not received his Mark on their foreheads or their hands.”

 

“China is in the process of fulfilling what Stalin, Hitler and Mao could only dream about: The flawless totalitarian state, powered by digital technology, where the individual has nowhere to flee from the all-seeing eye of the Communist state.” The same thing will happen worldwide as countries implement a Central Bank Digital Currency, a Biometric Digital ID, and a Chinese style Social Credit Score System, which will ultimately lead to the microchipping of humanity (transhumanism).

  

Today is Census Day 2026. We have been able to fill out our online forms earlier than today which is convenient for many such as myself who can count on being at home tonight!

The data takes a good 9-10 months to come out and then we will be able to accurately discuss a range of issues. Normally, Census turnout is high - 96.9% last time in 2021. The ABS - Australian Bureau of Statistics makes a lot of effort to provide Census paper forms and people who look out for vulnerable and under-represented people. Or because Australia is a big country, remote communities that have poor access to the internet or education. There is, as usual, some disinformation out in lunacy land regarding the optional religion question as well as the rest of the Census. I am presuming Sovereign Citizens won't fill in the form and pay the fine either, but fortunately they are a small part of this community we call Australia.

We live surrounded by voices, images, headlines, and breaking news —

yet the more we see, the harder it can become to know what is true.

This image reflects the unease of our time:

the fear that information is not only shared, but shaped;

not only reported, but steered.

When power, media, and influence begin to blur into one another,

the ordinary person is left to wonder:

what is truth, what is performance,

and who is really holding the narrative?

Yesterday some 235 people were arrested in a violent anti-lockdown protest in Richmond area of Melbourne. Similar protests are being held in other parts of the country and world. Messsages such as "vaccine poison", "Dictator Dan", and other images that I won't post are appearing all over the place as the mental toll and disinformation affect the population suffering under the pandemic changes to their lives. I don't, in any way, support what these protestors are doing but acknowledge many are hurting badly. Violence is NOT the way.

This is a montage of our Federation Square building, one of my friends who is fully vaccinated and is just waiting to get back to the city plus the chalked messages on the footpath.

Social unrest is the big problem in the ongoing effects of the virus.

Today we will hear from Premier Dan Andrews about the road out of the current restrictions. Case numbers are now much higher than what our track and trace can handle and will probably go up. So hang on everyone, it's going to be a rough ride from now on for another unknown period.

The Perfect Storm - America Dark Enlightenment by Daniel Arrhakis (2025)

 

Neoreaction or “Dark Enlightenment” is the "new"formal and nostalgic elitist ideology.

In this absolutist restorationist conception, Trumpism is a intellectual counterculture for the limitation or destruction of the State, for an unregulated liberalism based on the power of the strongest, deep down in an Absolutist Fascist nature.

 

With great segmentation of the economy and social demographics in favor of an unregulated liberalism deep down in an Oligarchy of an Absolutist nature with unlimited and unquestionable power; to which all peoples and leaders of the world owe vassalage.

 

To achieve this goal, the deregulation of the world economy and the subversion of world decision-making centers is necessary, the destruction of the state as guarantor of rights and supports of minorities or the poorest as well.

 

Discredit and disinformation are essential to mold mindsets to new concepts of society and economy but also to question democratic institutions, the very division between political and judicial powers.

In this Trumpist conception Chaos is Democracy itself and Unquestionable Absolute Power the only possible Order in a society in which the law of the strongest prevails !

 

The Perfect Storm is there … and deep down everyone knew it would come … and many did nothing to avoid it !

A Tempestade Perfeita - America Dark Enlightenment de Daniel Arrhakis (2025)

 

Neoreação ou “Iluminismo Das Sombras” é a “nova” ideologia elitista formal e nostálgica.

Nesta conceção restauracionista absolutista, o trumpismo é uma contracultura intelectual para a limitação ou destruição do Estado, para um liberalismo desregulado baseado no poder do mais forte, profundamente enraizado numa natureza fascista absolutista.

 

Com grande segmentação da economia e da demografia social em prol de um liberalismo desregulado, no fundo de uma Oligarquia de cariz Absolutista com poder ilimitado e inquestionável; ao qual todos os povos e dirigentes do mundo devem vassalagem.

 

Para atingir este objetivo, é necessária a desregulação da economia mundial e a subversão dos centros de decisão mundiais, a destruição do Estado como garante dos direitos e apoio às minorias ou também aos mais pobres.

 

O Descrédito e a desinformação são essenciais para moldar mentalidades para novos conceitos de sociedade e de economia, mas também para questionar as instituições democráticas, a própria divisão entre os poderes político e judicial.

Nesta concepção trumpista o Caos é a própria Democracia e o Poder Absoluto Inquestionável é a única Ordem possível numa sociedade em que prevalece a lei do mais forte!

 

A tempestade perfeita está aí… e no fundo todos sabiam que ela viria… e muitos não fizeram nada para a evitar!

   

" Well I won't back down, no I wont back down

You can stand me up at the gates of hell

But I won't back down

 

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around

And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down

Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down

 

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down

 

Well I know what's right, I got just one life

In a world that keeps pushin' me around

But I stand my ground and I won't back down

 

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out

Hey I will stand my ground and I won't back down

 

No I won't back down"

- "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty

 

------------------

 

In this time of fear-mongering and disinformation its easy to give up and surrender, to tune it out, to just disengage. Its easier to say that "its just the way the world works", than it is to stand up and try to build a better world.

 

This year's superbowl started with a chorus of NFL athletes reciting the declaration of independence. Talking about patriots etc, it was typically over-the-top as only a superbowl pregame segment can be, but those words will still send chills down one's spine.

 

Then the half-time show came on and Tom Petty sang this song as part of a medley of his greatest hits.

 

Its a strong message. It talks about the fact that you only have one life and you need to stand up to a world that tries to push you around.

 

Some might say that this is just America and the NFL misusing brilliant words and sentiments to whip up "support for the troops" or some other "patriotic" venture against terrorism.

 

You can however look at it differently. You can see Tom Petty playing that song, the song that GW Bush had used in his campaign in 2000 (for which Tom threatened to sue and had it removed), you can see him playing that as a big Fuck You to the last 7 years. As OBAMA's television ads came on and urged us to be united, you could almost feel that this was finally the time when we could see the end of this kind of terror and fear. Where people said enough, I can no longer be disengaged, there comes a time when you have to stand your ground, when you don't back down, and that time is now.

 

Today Mitt Romney dropped out of the race, and that blue-blood aristocrat, in the dying breath of his presidential bid, had the indecency to utter these words:

 

"In this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign be a part of aiding a surrender to terror."

 

(Thus implying that a Democratic president would be tantamount to letting terrorists kill your children)

 

Read more here: www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/07/romney.campaign/index.html

 

I will not stand for that shit any longer, and neither should you.

 

McCain talks about the war on terror and calls it WW3. I will not stand for that any longer.

 

Its time that we kicked fear-mongerers to the curb.

 

Vote Obama '08.

 

It seems Qanon conspiracy theory adherents have co-opted the stylized Guy Fawkes mask as well as hacking group Anonymous. Guy Fawkes and conspirators tried to blow up the UK Houses of Parliament . Today's Disinformation and culture wars have something in common. In the fringes and peddling mistruths and political spin. The difference at the moment is the comparative lack of violence of the modern day protestors. But as the riots earlier in Melbourne shows it doesn't take much to set off a section of the community into violence. I do not support violence in any political protest and the multiplying theories of such people are worrying indeed in this challenging time.

I've just read that there were violent protests in London for Guy Fawkes with the burning of effigies of Boris Johnson.

This montage takes a Guy Fawkes mask icon from the net and blends in the darkness with a sparkler.

Thank you for the theme Di. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes

Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen!

We expect a strong reaction from the world to today's Russian terror. We expect the reaction of partners. We expect the reaction of friends - not just observers. We expect the reaction of all those who really recognize the UN Charter.

We are doing everything possible. Ukraine presented the Peace Formula. The world heard it.

10 points - how to restore the full power of the UN Charter violated by Russia, and guarantee the safety of Ukraine, the safety of Europe and all the peoples of the planet who suffer from the consequences of Russian aggression.

In response to our Peace Formula, Russia is following the steps of its formula of terror.

The very next day after I proposed the Ukrainian Peace Formula at the G19 summit in Indonesia, we received ten Russian missiles per each point of the Peace Formula.

The strikes continued.

We liberated Kherson - and as soon as the Russian army fled from there, it began to methodically destroy this city. Strikes every day.

This night – another missile attack on the Zaporizhzhia region, on the hospital – on the buildings where the maternity ward was located. Russian terrorists took the life of a baby - the child was 2 days old when it was killed by a Russian missile!

And then again - dead, dead, dozens of wounded. In the city of Vyshhorod this afternoon, a residential building was hit, 35 people were injured, 4 were killed.

This is one of the main points of the Russian formula of terror - missiles.

Only today - almost 70 missiles. Against our energy infrastructure.

Unfortunately, a residential building was also hit.

Hospitals, schools, transport, residential areas - everything was affected.

Russian terror led to a blackout – and not only in Ukraine. The light also went out in neighboring Moldova.

But the understanding of what Russia wants to achieve with such strikes should not disappear anywhere in the world.

Energy terror is an analogue of the use of weapons of mass destruction.

When the temperature is below zero outside, and tens of millions of people are left without electricity, heat and water as a result of Russian missiles hitting energy facilities, this is an obvious crime against humanity.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Among you are representatives of a state that offers nothing to the world except terror, destabilization and disinformation. Any Russian formulas do not provide for anything else.

And that's why I emphasize once again - it's time to support the Ukrainian Peace Formula!

There must be no opportunity left for terror in the world!

That is why we are turning to our partners for support to protect our skies. We need modern and effective air defense and missile defense systems, and I thank everyone who is already helping.

What can a representative of a terrorist state tell you now? That civilians do not suffer from their missiles? Everything is obvious. It's all too obvious.

And I urge you to take concrete steps to protect humanity and life!

Russia has long been trying to turn the UN Security Council into a platform for rhetoric. But the Security Council was created as the world's most powerful platform for decisions and actions. This is what we can demonstrate.

The Security Council should provide a clear assessment of the actions of the terrorist state in accordance with Chapter Seven of the UN Charter. Ukraine proposes that the Security Council adopt such a resolution condemning any forms of energy terror.

Let's see if anyone in the world will be able to say, along with Russia, that terror against civilians is supposedly a good thing.

I confirm the invitation from Ukraine regarding the mission of UN experts to critical infrastructure facilities of our country that have been or may be hit by Russian missiles.

It is necessary to give a proper assessment of damage and destruction. It should be stated that these are strikes against the very infrastructure that ensures the lives of tens of millions of people.

And finally, justice must be restored within the UN structures themselves.

The terrorist state should not participate in any voting on the issues of its aggression, its terror.

It is a stalemate when the one who caused the war, the one responsible for the terror, blocks any attempt by the UN Security Council to fulfill its mandate.

This is nonsense that the veto right is reserved for the one who is waging a criminal war.

It is necessary to lead the world out of this impasse.

It is absolutely possible.

The world should not be held hostage by one international terrorist.

Russia is doing everything to make the electric generator a more powerful and necessary tool than the UN Charter. We must and can return real meaning to all things - and above all to the UN Charter.

Your decisions are needed!

Thank you for the opportunity!

Thank you for your attention!

Glory to Ukraine!

Frosty Reception

 

I have actually read and heard the words of 'experts' suggesting that this Christmas one should keep windows open (in the Northern Hemisphere winter) to keep rooms ventilated. What about the risk of pneumonia or hypothermia?

 

I have also read someone purporting to be a nurse suggest that a 53-year-old obese diabetic can be 'fit and well'. It is funny when challenged to answer a factual question this same purported nurse amended their information and deleted other comments that went against the narrative. There is indeed a lot of disinformation out there by people pretending to be something they are not... honest actors.

As Milícias Digitais da Extrema-Direita Portuguesa — o CHEGA — Técnicas de Infiltração e Manipulação, Recrutamento, Radicalização e Conexões Internacionais, por Daniel Arrhakis (2026)

 

Pelas informações a que tivemos acesso, o CHEGA paga entre 20 e 200 euros por semana a diversos apoiantes e promove até cursos sobre como desconstruir o discurso da esquerda, boicotar a intervenção de figuras políticas e outras personalidades, e difundir teorias da conspiração através das caixas de comentários, incluindo, assim, ações de formação.

 

Principais Dinâmicas de Ação:

 

1 - Técnicas de Infiltração e Manipulação Local

 

- Grupos Comunitários: A criação de grupos no Facebook centrados em “amigos de uma localidade” visa construir confiança. Ao misturar dinâmicas comunitárias com narrativas manipuladas de teor étnico ou racial, os agentes de desinformação contornam a desconfiança inicial dos utilizadores.

 

- Automatização e Perfis Múltiplos: O uso coordenado de bots, contas geradas por inteligência artificial (deepfakes) e a gestão de múltiplos perfis por um único operador servem para simular um apoio popular orgânico, técnica conhecida como astroturfing.

 

- Monetização e Formação: A monetização destas atividades e a disponibilização de cursos e manuais de retórica treinam ativistas para inundar as secções de comentários dos órgãos de comunicação social, amplificando teorias da conspiração e boicotando o debate público tradicional.

  

2 - Recrutamento e Radicalização de Jovens

 

- Estética Identitária: A utilização de referências históricas romantizadas, como os Templários, as Cruzadas ou o passado imperial — por exemplo, a ideia do V Império — funciona como porta de entrada para atrair jovens, disfarçando ideologias de supremacia branca sob uma capa de patriotismo cultural.

 

- Ligações a Claques de Futebol: Grupos ultranacionalistas infiltram-se frequentemente em fações radicais de claques desportivas. Isto permite converter estruturas que operavam na economia paralela, como a revenda de bilhetes, em redes organizadas de propagação de discurso de ódio e agitação de rua.

 

- Franquias Ideológicas: Através de uma estratégia de “clonagem”, grupos ultranacionalistas, como o Reconquista em Portugal, replicam estéticas, memes e discursos de movimentos internacionais. O foco incide nos jovens através de plataformas digitais como TikTok, Telegram e Discord. A clonagem destes grupos noutros países, como Espanha e Itália, cria um sentimento de pertença a uma “tribo” internacional, facilitando uma radicalização rápida.

  

3 - Conexões Internacionais e Serviços de Informação

  

- Articulação Europeia e Global: Partidos e movimentos da extrema-direita europeia, como o VOX em Espanha ou partidos homólogos em França e no Leste Europeu, mantêm canais de partilha de táticas digitais e narrativas com o movimento MAGA, nos Estados Unidos.

 

- Guerra Híbrida e Operações de Influência: Relatórios de agências de segurança ocidentais apontam consistentemente para o envolvimento de serviços de inteligência estrangeiros, com particular destaque para a Federação Russa, Israel e o governo americano.

 

Através de canais alternativos que substituíram órgãos estatais sancionados, como a Russia Today, estas operações utilizam agentes de influência e diplomatas para instigar a polarização social e enfraquecer as democracias liberais.

 

- Instrumentalização da Diáspora: O uso de comunidades residentes no estrangeiro para disseminar propaganda estatal funciona como braço operacional de governos com agendas ideológicas globais nas redes sociais locais.

   

Estamos perante um ataque em várias frentes ao âmago da nossa democracia e às instituições democráticas, conduzido por uma conspiração composta por várias figuras e grupos de influência ligados à extrema-direita ultranacionalista e neonazi, bem como por grupos monárquicos não institucionais, com o apoio de várias famílias influentes.

The Digital Militias of the Portuguese Far-Right — CHEGA — Infiltration and Manipulation Techniques, Recruitment, Radicalization, and International Connections, by Daniel Arrhakis (2026)

  

According to information we have accessed, CHEGA pays between 20 and 200 euros per week to various supporters and also promotes courses on how to deconstruct the discourse of the left, boycott the intervention of political figures and other personalities, and spread conspiracy theories through comment sections, thus including training actions.

 

Main Action Dynamics:

 

1 - Local Infiltration and Manipulation Techniques

 

- Community Groups: The creation of Facebook groups centered on "friends from a locality" aims to build trust. By mixing community dynamics with manipulated narratives of ethnic or racial content, disinformation agents circumvent the initial distrust of users.

 

- Automation and Multiple Profiles: The coordinated use of bots, AI-generated accounts (deepfakes), and the management of multiple profiles by a single operator serve to simulate organic popular support, a technique known as astroturfing.

 

- Monetization and Training: The monetization of these activities and the provision of courses and rhetoric manuals train activists to flood media comment sections, amplifying conspiracy theories and boycotting traditional public debate.

 

2 - Recruitment and Radicalization of Young People

 

- Identity Aesthetics: The use of romanticized historical references, such as the Templars, the Crusades, or the imperial past—for example, the idea of the Fifth Empire—serves as a gateway to attract young people, disguising white supremacist ideologies under a cloak of cultural patriotism.

 

- Connections with Football Fan Clubs: Ultranationalist groups frequently infiltrate radical factions of sports fan clubs. This allows for the conversion of structures that operated in the underground economy, such as ticket resale, into organized networks for spreading hate speech and street agitation.

 

- Ideological Franchises: Through a "cloning" strategy, ultranationalist groups, such as Reconquista in Portugal, replicate the aesthetics, memes, and discourses of international movements. The focus is on young people through digital platforms like TikTok, Telegram, and Discord. The cloning of these groups in other countries, such as Spain and Italy, creates a sense of belonging to an international "tribe," facilitating rapid radicalization.

 

3 - International Connections and Information Services

 

- European and Global Articulation: Parties and movements of the European far-right, such as VOX in Spain or counterpart parties in France and Eastern Europe, maintain channels for sharing digital tactics and narratives with the MAGA movement in the United States.

 

- Hybrid Warfare and Influence Operations: Reports from Western security agencies consistently point to the involvement of foreign intelligence services, with particular emphasis on the Russian Federation, Israel, and the American government.

 

Through alternative channels that have replaced sanctioned state bodies, such as Russia Today, these operations use agents of influence and diplomats to instigate social polarization and weaken liberal democracies.

 

- Instrumentalization of the Diaspora: The use of communities residing abroad to disseminate state propaganda functions as an operational arm of governments with global ideological agendas on local social networks.

 

We are facing a multi-pronged attack on the core of our democracy and democratic institutions, conducted by a conspiracy composed of various figures and influential groups linked to the ultra nationalist and neonazi far-right, as well as non-institutional monarchist groups, with the support of several influential families.

Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.

(George Orwell)

Grand Junction, Colorado

 

In this college, I took Koda to a Pet Wash, to give him a bath. This is an excellent wash, whether you're washing your pet or car. It also has a great Touch-less wash. The owner keeps it spotless. I use it often. I also have my mail delivered, at this same, small strip mall. Those involved In Gangstalking, wait for me to arrive, every time.

 

Triple-Click on the Image. Going from top left to right. The 1st image; we pull into a parking spot, right in front. The man in the wheelchair rolls up, opens the door, looks inside, then rolls pass Koda, on the passenger side. He doesn’t have a pet with him, or a vehicle to wash. He was trying to get Koda to react aggressively; to him and his wheelchair.

The next image, was taken from inside the pet wash. As I take Koda in, this guy on the bike rides up on the other side. He stands there, on his bike, facing his cell camera into the wash. He stayed there the whole time, I washed Koda. He’s showing a couple Gangstalking tells, the whole time he’s there. 1St, is the cute orange hat, he has in his little manly basket. The 2nd, is the way he is holding his phone. Again, maintaining this posture, while I washed Koda. These are acts, to psychologically intimidate, and harass a Target. Gangstalkers/Narcissits, love to use colors to identify themselves, and let the Target know they are being watched.

The next image, is a man with an EC Electric, truck. You can see him spraying the ground, outside the wash. He does this to fill the air, with a misty soap. The wind is blowing it on my car, and at me; as I load Koda, and towels into the car. The next picture; he is spaying way outside the wash, into the air. That’s because, I’m coming back out from the pet wash. I was wearing an apron, and needed to put it back in the wash. If you triple-click on the image; you can see the pet wash door, slightly open. It was me, coming out. I ask you; is this a contractor, you would want in your home?

The next picture, is a woman on a bike, that comes out of nowhere. If you look close, to the far right center of the image; the man on the bike, with his cell phone facing us again, is riding out from behind the wash. Right on Q, to distract me.

The next image, is him; with his cell phone in the same position, as he rides by. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes; I would have never thought, he could ride a bike, and hold a cell phone at the same time.

The next two images, are; the man in the wheelchair leaving, disappearing down the sidewalk. I told you, he had no pet or vehicle to wash. He was just pulling another skit.

 

Conspired Skits, are performed repeatedly, when Targeted Individuals venture out, into public areas. They are meant to intimidate, harass and overwhelm a Target. In hopes, they act out. Which, will be recorded. They are not only done in public, but often; around, or in, a Target's home. Kinda, like the time; we had 8 road-killed animals, placed in our yard, and 1, in the mailbox. Another time, I recorded a man, telling a little boy; to look directly into their eyes. He was telling the boy, to look directly into the eyes of my dog, as he walked by. A dog takes this; as an act of aggression, or dominance. Seriously, how sick is that? That was many years ago. Perps do this to Koda, all the time. Especially, at the Grand Junction, VA Hospital. It's the most Toxic VA facility, I've ever used. If you address this, they will put false statements, in your records. Trying to address Gangstalking to Law Enforcement; they often make excuses, defending the perpetrators. Which is the case, in Grand Junction.

 

Take a good look at this Country! Is conspired disinformation, hatred, harassment and intimidation, so hard to believe? Is corruption, within our Government Agencies, so hard to believe? Gangstalking is real, don’t let anyone, tell you it’s not.

 

Too often, my post are filled with ignorance and hatred. Here is a story, I'd love to share with you. There may be hope after all.
