Anonymous expert compilation, analysis, and reporting. </end editorial> MSM reporting on the POTUS-Putin meeting today is so far largely substance-free. We may have to wait until the White House comments for a more substantial readout. The Warsaw speech has been lauded by Conservative MSM, and bagged by Left MSM, largely reflecting the ongoing bias patterns… Continue reading Russia / Strategy Media Update – 7 July 2017

A great friend, an esteemed Finnish scholar, and a leader in Finland’s defense community wrote this on 5 July 2017: Suomi olisi hieno Naton jäsenvaltio which, according to a Facebook translation, means Finland would be a great NATO member state My initial gut reaction is, yes, this would be a great idea!  Finland beat the snot… Continue reading Finland would be a great NATO member state

Anonymous expert compilation, analysis, and reporting. </end editorial> Much of the MSM treatment of the POTUS-Putin meeting is of abysmal quality, if not speculative bunk, or simple T3 (Ed.

Notably, the Russians have been spinning the meeting every which way, and contradicting… Continue reading Russia / Strategy Media Update – 8 July 2017

Excellent article but two minor points skewed the entire article into a standard cyber-centric focus.  The authors came from the US Army’s Cyber Institute, so this is understandable.  It is noted that the authors were on a train in Ukraine during cyber attacks, which did not affect their travels.  Then a leap of logic occurs,… Continue reading Don’t Ignore Ukraine: Lessons From the Borderland of the Internet

Pure speculation, but it seems Russians are removing billboards in Hamburg, Germany, that are specifically designed to remind people that Russia invaded Ukraine, that Russia is still illegally occupying a part of Ukraine, and for everything we know, Russia will illegally remain ensconced in a part of East  Ukraine for the indefinite future.   The billboard… Continue reading Russian Embarrassing Billboards Removed In Hamburg For G20

Notice the final statement, “Putin claimed on Saturday he and Trump were in agreement that Russia was not involved. ”  “Putin claimed”…  but we did not read or hear of a corresponding statement from the President.  Just because Putin says it is so, does not make it true.  It is often quite the opposite.

What was predicted almost 20 years ago is now possible. We can no longer believe our eyes, not at face value, at least.

The results bring to mind the movie, Forrest Gump, but more… Continue reading The Nostradamus Of Information Warfare?

This one paragraph is chilling to the bone.  “Therefore, when books, articles and documents are not available in Russian, it remains possible for the psychiatric leaders (many of whom hail from Soviet times) to pretend that the diagnosis used for Soviet dissidents – ‘sluggish schizophrenia’ – is quite accepted in the world and even part… Continue reading The Weaponization Of Psychiatry In Russia
