Freezing “single-picket” protesters (only protest allowed in Russia w/o freedom of assembly) protest a new outrage in Putin’s #Russia: Police kidnapped @Navalny ally Ruslan Shaveddinov & forcibly conscripted him into Russian army—in remote Arctic base Novaya Zemlya, currently -7°
#Russia: Ruslan Shaveddinov, of opposition @Navalny's Anti-Corruption Fund, was detained at his Moscow flat—after the door was broken down, electricity cut & the SIM card on his phone remotely disabled. Police forcibly conscripted him in Russian army—to remotest Arctic Ocean base
“Serving in the army has simply turned into a way of locking people up”—@Navalny. Activists likened Shaveddinov’s forced conscription to how Tsarist Russia & USSR sent political opponents to prisons/GULAG. Shaveddinov was a TV presenter for Navalny online anti-corruption channel.
😈#Russia’s ruthless rule of Putin: Kremlin said opposition activist Shaveddinov’s kidnapping to Arctic military base “looked legal”: “If he dodged conscription and was conscripted in this way then everything was done strictly in accordance with the law." news.yahoo.com/anti-kremlin-a…

🔥NEW #CambridgeAnalytica leak shows ‘out of control’ global election manipulation industry, exposes dark money behind Trump, 2016 experimentation on American voters, manipulating vulnerable targets w/ fear-based messages, propaganda tactics for 2020 theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/j…
New #CambridgeAnalytica documents are from whistleblower Brittany Kaiser’s email accounts & hard drives—“thousands and thousands more pages which showed a ‘breadth and depth of the work’ that went ‘way beyond what people think they know about ‘the Cambridge Analytica scandal’”
Ex-#CambridgeAnalytica employee turned whistleblower, Brittany Kaiser went public after the UK election in December: “It’s so abundantly clear our electoral systems are wide open to abuse. I’m very fearful about what is going to happen in the US election later this year”

Rampell’s right. Trump gets away w/ lies b/c expectations are so low. He & GOP keep hammering “great economy”—tho only 2% growth—knowing media won’t call them on it. I’d add: Propagandists know media does balance to a fault—media elevate any good news to balance all the very bad.
Yes! Garry @Kasparov63 says it: We’re used to hearing from both sides—Republicans & Democrats, conservatives & liberals. Today it’s simply truth vs. lies. #Media must focus only on facts & STOP GIVING EQUAL TIME TO LIES. The outdated sense of balance is killing our democracy.
@Kasparov63 @crampell @brianstelter @ReliableSources @secupp Republicans exploit media's model of objectivity, which balances w/ equal time to both sides. Balance works when both sides deal in good faith w/ facts. LIES & propaganda are BAD faith! Airing both doesn't balance but elevate lies to level of facts & spreads #propaganda further⚠️

NEW >> Trump ordered #Ukraine aid freeze *an hour* after the “perfect” call. Emails also show he was asking about the military aid a month before the July call with Zelensky that went on to trigger the #impeachment inquiry. (Pretty sure Trump talked with Putin in late June too🤔)
Heavily redacted emails show Trump’s direct involvement in ordering aid freeze to Ukraine. Michael Duffey, OMB official (and potential #impeachment trial witness) wrote to the Pentagon saying he was tasked to follow up, adding to keep it quiet. apple.news/Ao1b1gFxoSO2_k…
Reportly only 2 Trump-Putin calls around Ukraine call: 1) days after on July 31, ostensibly about Siberian wildfires; 2) a long “reset” Russia relations call in May, after Mueller report, where Trump bragged they talked of “the Russian hoax. Assume they talked about Ukraine aid.

RUSSIA CONNECTS

The West, being overtaken by China & those allied with it has repeatedly signaled its intent to weaken those rising to threaten its continued ability to be World Control HQ.

The East has largely until recently hoped for a change of heart & a return to sanity.
RUSSIA CONNECTS

The East doesn't wish conflict, it wants stability, strong relationships, security & trade.

The West has shown time after time its malign intention, to disrupt & destabilize, creating chaos, organizing provocations, sanctioning, sabotaging, ever threatening war.
RUSSIA CONNECTS

Color revolutions have become the West’s favored means of undermining nations & replacing governments.

The fomented insurrection occurring now in Hong Kong is another example of its cynical attempt to generate chaos with a view to furthering western aims.

"Today #Russia is doubling down on malign influence operations across #Europe & North America" Penn Biden Center's @mikercarpenter tells House Foreign Affairs Comm "But we remain remian unprepared, underfurnded & often ignorant of the threat"
"It's not just #Russia" per @mikercarpenter "#China & other non-state actors whose influcne and destabilization operations pose a threat to our democracy"

"We urgently need to focus more resources on rooting out Russia's malign networks, addressing our own massive vulnerabilies"
"We need better coordination between our domestic law enforcement agencies & our nat'l security aparatus" per @mikercarpenter "Too often one hand doesn't know what the other is doing"

1. In recent days #Moscow passed a two-page document to #Washington that should serve as a basis/draft for a bilateral communique the two Presidents should present after the #Helsinki talks.
2. According to #Rus sources #US accepted the paper but insisted an issue of "#Russia/n interference into American elections in 2016" is mentioned with due guarantees that this doesn't happen again.
