Maybe this is a dumb question, but... what are the financial logistics like on those payments I wonder?

With the so-called L/DPR, it's shockingly easy to figure out (award checks are from GOSBANK, they come from VNESHTORGSERVIS money).

Wonder if it's another unsanctioned entity
this is the chain for the so-called L/DPR's pension system

interestingly, the end points are sanctioned, but not the middle

this is an example of the awards that the above chain of payments disburses

in the case of recipients in the so-called L/DPR, like the (dead) Sparta Battalion guy, it's coming from GOSBANK through the chain above

Ellsberg was a real one.

You can see the traces of his legacy today both in the whistleblower processes that Federal agencies have set up as well as in the activism that we all do.

I actually had the privilege of meeting Ellsberg once.

Here, I'll tell you about it -
I was looking pretty hard at joining the Army back in '012.

It didn't end up happening, which I have no bitterness about - I can actually say I tried in good faith to serve, that's not nothing.

I was introduced to Ellsberg in order to dissuade me.

It's a peculiarity of even very brief conversations with brilliant people, I find (we had lunch at a little neighborhood restaurant in Kensington) that what they say sticks with you long after what normal people say to you.

Ellsberg was like that.

One thing I've learned from my Alabama friends that I don't think I've seen in disinfo work is forgiveness.

This is at first counter-intuitive: why would you want to forgive apologists for a genocidal regime? What, are you forgiving people who commit war crimes?

Well, no.

(🧵)
The thing is, not every adversary you have in anti-disinfo activism will be a disinfo purveyor.

Some will be rivals; some will be randos; some will be grifters on the same side of the war as you. Some will be simply small-minded and vicious little people. It's not black & white.
Complicating matters further, most of the problems that you tackle in activism are large and systemic (otherwise, why address them).

"Systemic" means that they inhere to some aspect of how things run and they keep happening even without bad intentions from people.
