In today’s #closetnazis I’ll introduce Pekka Kallioniemi, a Finnish propagandist who’s best known for doxxing people online and making his life’s mission to hate everything and everyone remotely associated with Russia. Undoubtedly, had he lived 70 years ago Pekka would’ve been
one of the first Finish volunteers for the Waffen-SS.
Pekka is a darling of the NAFO movement, a group of online trolls spreading anti-Russian propaganda and hate. His singular focus is to tarnish the names of anyone asking critical questions or presenting alternative
prospectives on the war in Ukraine.
Pekka regularly interacts with and promotes NAFO, a group of nameless, faceless twitter trolls with Shiba Inu doge pictures who spread Russophobia and Ukrainian propaganda. They often joke of killing Russians and being a CIA operation.
NAFO has even used rebranded Nazi propaganda to portray Ukrainians as the good guys in the crusade against Russia.
Pekka, unsurprising maintains uncritical support, and has never mentioned a single incident of well-documented Ukrainian Nazism.
The founder of NAFO, Kamil Dyszewski, is a Hitler-admiring anti-Semite who has heroized white-supremacist terrorists who committed mass shootings.
While Pekka has released over 100 “soups” that target both relatively unknown civilians, as well as higher profile celebrities and
politicians, Pekka has never examined Nazism, US imperialism, plight of Palestinians, or any other relevant social issue not directly criticizing Russia.
Pekka recently helped spread the upside down lie that Roger Waters is anti-Semitic ⬇️, after Rogers show mocking modern
fascists, once again outing himself as the real bigot and xenophobe.
Pekka has reserved some of his sharpest criticisms of anti-imperialists from the global south, promoting arrogant pro-colonial attitudes toward people he perceives to be lesser.
Steer clear of this Nazi-particle-filled soup.

Michael Parenti on George Orwell and “Red-bashing” from the “left”:
“A prototypic Red-basher who pretended to be on the Left was George Orwell. In the middle of World War II, as the Soviet Union was fighting for its life against the Nazi invaders at Stalingrad, Orwell announced
that a “willingness to criticize Russia and Stalin is the test of intellectual honesty. It is the only thing that from a literary intellectual’s point of view is really dangerous.” Safely ensconced within a virulently anticommunist society, Orwell (with Orwellian doublethink)
characterized the condemnation of communism as a lonely courageous act of defiance. Today, his ideological progeny are still at it, offering themselves as intrepid left critics of the Left, waging a valiant struggle against imaginary Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist hordes.
United States intelligence agencies have the most sophisticated propaganda tools seen in human history and that remains the case today.
While the US may not be as preeminent economically or even in its ability to fight a conventional
war as it was 40 years ago, it has retained steady refinement of propaganda tools and a control over and manipulation of media organizations in the western world.
US intelligence has received funding from US taxpayers to the tune of tens of billions annually to spy
on its own citizens, rival nations, and even countries considered allies.
I consider one of the greatest propaganda achievements of US military intelligence is it’s ability to simultaneously gloat about its wide reaching powers and yet maintain deniability in its efforts

I recognize the United States as the most powerful and dominant imperial power.
I deeply love the people in my country
and I believe the empire is feeding off the people in the quest of our ruling capitalist class to maintain and expand their social and economic domination at home and across the world.
I have great pride in the tradition of great American radicals and freedom fighters
who’ve challenged militarism, racism, and capitalism in my country. This is also a land that has birthed great heroes who’ve pushed the world forward. 🇺🇸

The Armed Forces of Ukraine has seen minimal success over the first two weeks of the “counter-offensive.”
The AFU has yet to reach the first major line of Russian defenses in the Zaporizhzhia direction, key to the goal of cutting through to Crimea.
But this is not for lack of effort. Over the last 48 hours especially, the fighting has been tragic and some of the most intense of the war, according to reports, as the AFU continues throwing men into the teeth of the Russian military.
Russian air and artillery superiority have hammered each AFU attempted offensive and have prohibited the Ukrainian military from moving forward men and equipment en masse.
According to Russian sources in the past day, “more than 200 Ukrainian soldiers, 33 tanks, 30 infantry
A rising China may turn the tide for the Palestinian cause 🇵🇸🤝🇨🇳
China and Palestine are “strategic partners,” announced Xi Jinping Wednesday during Mahmoud Abbas’ state visit.
China reiterated its support for Palestinian statehood with 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its
capital.
“The historical injustice done to the Palestinian people should not be left unattended indefinitely, the legitimate rights and interest of a nation are not up for trade, and the demand to establish an independent state shall not be denied,” Xi had stated in his earlier
meeting with Abbas.
Wednesday, Xi also presented a three-point proposal for the settlement of the Palestinian question. The key points are 1) the immediate establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, followed by 2) increased international
Today, hours after President Zelenskyy welcomed the delegation of African Heads of State, invoking Mandela in his speech, Poland detained a delegation of “security officials, diplomats and journalists accompanying South Africa’s president.”
African nations, with sharp memories
of European colonialism, remain skeptical of the Euro-Supremacist Ukrainian government. It seems each time overtures are made complications arise.
South Africa, one of the notable abstentions on votes to condemn the Russia’s Special Military Operation, has been building robust
infrastructure within BRICS.
Some believe the detention of security officials is an act of intimidation by Ukraine via Poland against South African leadership— not a good look for Eastern European governments looking to beat Nazi allegations and demonstrate solidarity with the
