In 2016, two wks after the American election, this Handbook of Russian Information Warfare was published.

To cure the sickness, we must know what we are fighting.

We Fight As We Breathe—A Q&A with ⁦@Mamulashvili_M⁩

A thoughtful conversation with commander of the Georgian National Legion Ukraine on Putin’s attempts to reanimate the corpse of the Soviet Union and why supporting Ukraine is the West’s best play bettedangerous.com/p/we-fight-as-…
Author’s note: On September 23, reporter Adam Sybera and I interviewed Mamuka Mamulashvili, Commander of the Georgian National Legion — Ukraine, at Bette’s Happy Hour. Mamuka has been fighting in Ukraine against the Russia invaders for more than a decade, survived multiple assassination attempts, three poisonings, and 32 years of war. At the age of 14, Mamuka took part in the Georgian-Russian war in Abkhazia. Towards the end of the conflict, he and his father were taken prisoner. Mamuka spent three months in captivity and was later released through a prisoner exchange program.
What follows is a transcript of the interview, lightly edited for clarity and brevity.—hsc

Orbán Bagman and ‘Other Loyal Servants of Organized Crime’

A brief conversation with Alex Alvarova about Hungary etc.

1/ bettedangerous.com/p/orban-bagman…
Bette’s Happy Hour on Tuesday with disinformation analysts Dietmar Pichler and Alex Alvarova was one of our finest — the exchange of information from our global community was phenomenal.

2/
I kicked off the event by talking about how I’m framing the world at the moment between those pushing illusion and those living in reality. The illusionists create phantoms — this week’s model is ‘antifa’ — a conjured phantom to defang the word ‘fascist’ so the illusionists can target political enemies.

‘A Book for Our Own Troubled Times’

A historic look at how conspiracies poison democracy, as detailed in Richard J. Evans book, “The Hitler Conspiracies: The Third Reich and the Paranoid Imagination”

1/ bettedangerous.com/p/a-book-for-o…
It’s okay to admit we got it wrong. We weren’t prepared for the Great Propaganda Wars.

2/
How could we be? We who were raised in democratic nations relied on a shared narrative of truth. We relied on academic and scientific expertise. We put our trust in higher learning, and those who deviated from a fact-based world — the snake oil salesmen, who exploited fear and ignorance — well, there were repercussions for these criminal exploiters. Our fact-based world had punitive laws for the exploiters.

Nazi Martyr Horst Wessel

Beware the mobilizing martyrdom by American fascists

1/
 bettedangerous.com/p/nazi-martyr-…
The moment I learned of Charlie Kirk’s death, I thought of Jeff Sharlet. Sharlet has documented extremist right-wing movements in America for two decades, and he was the one who taught me how Ashli Babbitt became a MAGA martyr.

2/
In an interview with RadPod on his book, The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War, Sharlet told us:

So Ashli Babbitt, 35-year-old white woman from Southern California, Air Force veteran storms the Capitol with violent intentions - she wrote about them. That's her knife on the cover of the book. That's the evidence photo, you can see it dated 1.6.2021.

She climbs up into a window leading a mob through a broken window, they smash the window, she comes up into it.

And we see on the video that very day, the two hands of the Capitol Hill police officer who shoots her, and it is the hands of a black man, and she's a white woman, and as a student of American mythology and American history, I know right away what's going to happen with that story.

And it happened within hours. First, they started saying Ashli - she was 135 pounds, she was in her 20s. Or maybe she was 16, she was just a little white girl. And they start shrinking her - she's 125 pounds, that's not going to work. She's 115 pounds. No, she's 110. They are making her into this model of white innocence.

Now, those not familiar with the history of lynching don't realize that at the heart of lynching throughout American history has been this kind of sexualized panic. This idea that black men are coming for our - possessive, you see - white women - a kind of property.

And that's the story that they began telling.

That's when the book really started to take shape. I said I'm going to follow the formation of this martyr myth.—Jeff Sharlet, on RadPod

Hot Type: The Sickening Nature of It All

As Vladimir Putin glad-hands Narendra Modi and Xi Jin Ping, I report in ⁦@BylineTimes⁩ that, like the recent Alaska summit with Trump, the point of these events is to reputation wash Putin

1/ bylinesupplement.com/p/hot-type-the…
“I really do feel a crisis of language,” Dr Marci Shore told Byline Supplement. “Watching Trump roll out that red carpet for Putin — there's already been so much rhetorical inflation, and yet everything feels inadequate to capture the sickening nature of it all.”

Under the guise of ‘peace talks’ regarding Russia’s full-scale invasion of the independent country of Ukraine, the two criminals met with all the pomp of third world warlords.

Hot Type: The Die is Cast

In my Saturday column for Byline Supplement I try to make sense of a brutal week in the history of America

1/ bylinesupplement.com/p/hot-type-the…
Julius Caesar stood on the banks of the Rubicon River contemplating the fate of his country and the world. The legions were expressly forbidden to return to the city of Rome for the Roman Senate knew very well that if they did, the Republic would lost.

2/
Caesar is reputed to have uttered the words “the die is cast”, as he ordered his troops to make the crossing.

Ever since Caesar’s pivotal decision, mankind has understood that the deployment of a nation’s armies against its own people marks the end of that nation.
