‼️ If you are an American Citizen, you absolutely need to look at this Press Release from the Department of Justice related to a Russian Disinformation campaign.

REGARDLESS OF WHAT POLITICAL PARTY YOU ARE A MEMBER OF.

justice.gov/opa/pr/justice…
There are a few documents attached that are propaganda project proposals directed against the United States.

If each document has an English version & a Russian version. I will attach screenshot shots of the English portion (same content)
If you take a step back and read the contents, it becomes clear that their own prejudices and misunderstanding of the United States show themselves.

It also becomes clear that Russia wants to amplify some of the worst possible narratives in hopes of causing discord.

Here is a link to the affidavit from the Justice Department

‼️ Pay attention to this one

Let me do a close screenshot of this page…

See, they attack BOTH WAYS. The top example wants you to believe that nothing is true and everything is fake.

This is one of the sneakiest things trolls do. Image
They try to oversimplify topics and make anything that sounds like it isn’t perfect a failure.

They make a false narrative of what will be unlikely to happen and when it doesn’t can claim failure (or success)!

For example:
Another good example is how Russia actually was running out of artillery shells.

But somehow they convinced people that if that the guns would suddenly just stop, and since that exact thing didn’t happen it was all a failure!
The Annex of this affidavit is fascinating. There’s an example of just generating conflicts!

It isn’t just Americans who should be paying attention

Pay attention France & Germany! Image
Russian Disinformation campaign aimed at Israel Image
Russia really wants everyone to believe that there will be a civil war in the US any day now. Image
This is another interesting part, a “sleeper campaign”

It seems likely that these sorts of campaigns are not going to be limited to just Ukraine.

I swear I’m not a sleeper account! Image
The good news for all of you, is that I’m weird and unique enough that you’d probably notice if my account was suddenly taken over by someone else.
There was a page in the Annex for Memes
I didn’t say they were good memes 😂 Image

‼️ Russia: “The court decided to suspend the corporate rights of the Cypriot shareholder of the Rusagro holding”

This keeps happening!

And the meeting was held behind closed doors

Here’s what they do.

Step 1: Declare that company is an Economically Significant Organization

This abbreviated “ESO” or “EZO” depending on the whim of the translation software Image
Step 2: Take them to court

Which they can do now because… Image

‼️ Russia: “Two autopilots failed on an Airbus A321 Ural Airlines plane flying from Antalya to Moscow.”

👉 RA-73795

🚨 DO NOT FLY ON A RUSSIAN AIRLINE

We’re going to revisit a common worry of mine in relation to some of these failures…

moscowtimes.ru/2024/09/04/usa…
Image
“The incident occurred at an altitude of 10,650 meters in the Volgograd region”

We need a map. Image
On the left is rough idea of the flight path this plane has to take from Antalya to Moscow.

On the right you can see where the Volgograd region of Russia is located. That’s a long distance from their destination.

‼️Preliminary Results from Todays OFZ auction and YIKES! (Mini thread)

As usual, the official thread will come later, but I do want to talk about what happened today.

Image
Image
First of all the Constant Coupon auction was declared invalid.

This isn’t really that surprising because we’re getting close to 🇷🇺 Central Bank Meeting (Friday 13 September) and there are tons of indicators suggesting the rate might go up.
There currently supposed to be another OFZ auction date on the Wednesday BEFORE that meeting, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Ministry of Finance doesn’t even offer a constant coupon next week.

‼️ “Russian Railways reported the biggest collapse in freight traffic in Russia in two years”

🥳 I did warn you.

moscowtimes.ru/2024/09/03/rzh…

Image
Here they are talking in terms of the decline in comparison to the previous year.
Image
“If the situation does not improve by the end of the year, the collapse of freight traffic will be the deepest since the global financial crisis of 2008–09, MMI analysts note: “Even during Covid, loading fell less.”

🍿🥤 It could get even worse than that! Image

‼️ Russian Railway August Loading Update Thread

SPOILERS: Things didn’t really get better.

Let me explain….

(Note: Loading is in Millions of Tons) Image
First, here is the previous thread, it will explain HOW the above graph is made (it is a rolling daily average loading rate that restarts every year)

I did find a typo in a table that I’ve fixed that I will share in a bit. Please read this thread if you haven’t already.
Here is the Total Loading in Year to Date (YTD) format (Left Table) and Total Loading in per Month format (Right Table).

The chart shows that they have only picked up 0.1 million tons this month (due keep rounding in mind with these numbers) Image
