MV Dali hacked?
I logged into Facebook, to check in on my family in Baltimore, and the first thing that I saw was the claim that the MV Dali was hacked. 🤦🏼♀️
Something Lost in Translation
I spent the night in our house in Petrovsky last night, for the first time in more than a year. Although the nazis have been officially moved out of Maryinka, the shelling in Petrovsky (going both ways) is loud and steady, but not as loud and steady as the internet clamor about Sergey Lavrov’s recent interview with RIA News.

At 60, We’re Winning – and Losing – the JFK Media War
Twelve days ago, I was asked by the Opinion section of the New York Times to write an essay on the JFK assassination nearly 60 years later. This was a major breakthrough because the newspaper of record has always embraced the official version of the assassination, even as the Warren Report, based on the “magic bullet” and all that nonsense, has grown increasingly tattered over the years. In 2015, when The Devil’s Chessboard — my book about CIA spymaster Allen Dulles and the national security state’s war with President Kennedy — was published, the Times refused to review it. (Nonetheless, the book was a New York Times bestseller.)

[2022] Chaos Agent – Yuri Bezmenov
Yuri Bezmenov defected from the Soviet Union to Canada in the ‘70s, and his warnings about disinformation have made him a posthumous star on social media. Documents obtained by CBC News reveal his toxic relationship with Canada’s intelligence services.

Call Of Duty Trailer Recklessly Promotes Far-Right Conspiracy Theory (archived)
The person interviewing Bezmenov in the footage is far-right conspiracy theorist G. Edward Griffin, who has since made a name for himself in HIV/AIDS denialism and alt-right recruitment. As a member of the John Birch Society, a famously anti-Communist organization focused on establishing a more conservative government in the United States, it makes sense that Griffin would peddle Bezmenov’s claims about Soviet interference by way of social progress without any critical analysis. In the Call of Duty trailer, Activision presents Bezmenov’s words bereft of this important context.

There are two problems to face when talking about conspiracy theories: Some people see them everywhere; some people see them nowhere.

George Santos Suggested the Chinese Communist Party Kidnapped His Niece. Huh?
The fabulist congressman’s latest tale connects to his courtship of Chinese exile Guo Wengui.

Santos Introduces GUO Act to Fight CCP Infiltration of U.S. Government
Like former CIA officer and Donald Trump campaign national security advisor Anthony Shaffer and others, Santos believes the CCP is infiltrating the U.S. government. Indeed, with the Bidens’ financial ties to China, it seems that infiltration might even extend to the White House.
Spook Tony Shaffer is a regular on Judge Napolitano. Must be one of those ‘realists’ like John Mearsheimer?! 🙄

Tusk Gets His Chance to Bring Poland Back From the ‘Dark Side’
Law & Justice turned Poland into a rogue state on a par with Viktor Orban’s Hungary. The Polish government clashed with the EU over rule of law, control of the media and funding, all while weaponizing LGBTQ issues and women’s rights. Support for Ukraine brought Warsaw into line with its main EU partners, but even there the mood has soured after Warsaw imposed restrictions on Ukrainian grain and suggested it might stop weapons shipments.

US Calls Out Poland for Pre-Election Moves Against Opposition
Hours after President Andrzej Duda approved the creation of a special parliamentary panel to investigate Russia’s meddling in Poland between 2007 and 2022, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the US shares the concerns “expressed by many observers” that the panel “could be used to block the candidacy of opposition politicians without due process.”
From Applauding Nazis To Backing An Actual Genocide In Under A Month
The premise behind this current onslaught and those which preceded it is that you can bomb people into consenting to oppression and apartheid. That you can abuse them into accepting abuse. The whole entire argument is that if you bomb and shoot and teargas and beat and imprison enough Palestinians with enough aggression, eventually they will see the error of their ways and accept the status quo you are trying to impose upon them.
