🚨#protestforPalestine are used by Russia, China and Iran to sow division, confusion in order to demoralize Americans; undermine the U.S. globally and to influence the US presidential elections outcome. 2 important new articles: quotes/links. 🧵👇🏼 “Russia is seeking to exploit America’s divisive debate over Israel’s offensive in Gaza through overt and covert propaganda, with the aim of aggravating political tensions in the U.S. and tarnishing Washington’s global image”

#Moscow, #Russia on March 22:

1. Launches the largest air strike on #Ukraine since the start of the full-scale war

2. Runs a concert “Future is Ours” next night, w/6,200 attending, in a venue owned by Putin’s ally. Fails to prevent mass murder of which it was warned.

🔴🔴🔴 The Kremlin stages a propagandist event at Times Square, New York on March 16, 2024 to coincide with the celebration of Putin's sham election victory and the 10th anniversary of the annexation of Crimea.

While the video below is fake, Russian festivities were real. 🧵

Russian Youth of America (aka “Russian Youth in America,” the “Youth Russian Society” and the “Young Russian Society”) organized the event at Times Square on March 16, 2024. roscult.org/event/times-sq…

🔴 Ivana Trump had also confirmed that Donald #Trump had Hitler’s Mein Kampf on his bedside table as reported by the Vanity Fair here:

In the 1990s, #Trump’s cousin who worked for the Trump Organization was reported by Ivana Trump to click his heels and say, “Heil Hitler” on entering Donald Trump’s office. vanityfair.com/magazine/2015/…

March 17 2018: analysts, journalists, politicians gathered in NY to warn the world (again) of the danger #Putin brings to the world if re-elected.

March 16 2024: a review from under fire in Ukraine, 2 years into the full-scale Putin war.

There'll be more if we don't stop him. David Satter, journalist: Putin and the FSB carried out the 1999 apartment bombings. This terrorist action similar to the Reichstag fire brought Putin to power. The West accepted the Russian government's explanation of the apartment bombing and left it without consequences.

#Moldova is on Putin's wishlist. 🧵

#Transnistria, a mini-USSR, with pro-Russian authorities and the Kremlin-brainwashed population, is the tool.

In the 90s, Russian “peacekeepers” were stationed in Transnistria after a brief but intense armed conflict. In 2022, FSB had 3 scenarios for capturing Moldova:
->forming a corridor to Transnistria thru southern Ukraine, w/the subsequent recognition of the region;
->the capture of the whole territory of Moldova;
->access to the borders of Transnistria w/o recognition of its independence

The democracy in the US and the world is in extreme danger.

#Trump used #Kremlin’s mechanism to suppress investigations by stacking courts & appointing loyal people to key positions of power.

KRUGOVAYA PORUKA.

It is the way to a lifelong presidency.

🧵 art by @LuluLemew Steps towards silencing and suppressing criminal investigation:

→ Strategic hires block trials.

→ Through bribes, blackmail, murder, investigations silenced, stopped.

→ Public opinion formed by the press working for the government.

→ Independent journalists killed/exiled.

🔴 Ukraine Intelligence: #Russia aims to divert attention from the war by spreading false narratives, demoralizing, sowing panic. $1.5 bn spent on information operations in Nov 2023.

bylinetimes.com/2024/02/29/und… Russian special services spent $250 mn on ‘Maidan-3’ special operation on Telegram. It is due to peak in March-May 2024, questioning government legitimacy, spreading panic, creating artificial divisions, causing discord with allies, and promoting conspiracy theories.

#Navalny murder is Putin's non-verbal signal. He challenges the world.

Gang leaders establish dominance hierarchy through murder.

"Bespredel" went global (bespredel: "limitlessness." "lawlessness")

Each country has a mafia; only in Russia does the mafia have the country.  🧵 In the 1990s, Russian organized crime, law enforcement, secret services, and government structures merged and created a criminal syndicate that abandoned the accepted rules of human conduct and morality.

This syndicate, headed by Putin, currently rules Russia.

🔴 #Trump spoke of abandoning #NATO first time in Sept 1987, two months after his first visit to #Moscow on the invitation of Intourist, the Soviet cover for intelligence operations.

He bought full-page ads in the NYT, WaPo, Boston Globe for $94,801.

🧵1.

Since 1978, Trump has been followed by the Communist secret services.  Ivana Zelníčková, Trump’s first wife, was under the Czechoslovak security service surveillance, the Státní Bezpečnost (StB). Ivana’s father Miloš Zelníček, was also monitored by the StB.

#Putin Tonight, you'll be served a #Kremlin narrative aimed at

-> normalizing war crimes and mafia state,
-> glorifying a mass murderer

Here are a few facts from Putin's actual bio. 🧵

Forewarned is forearmed. #Putin's official bio is a myth: rags to riches through education and state service.

Reality: he was formed by early exposure to violence and crime.

His judo coach, Usvyatsov: a criminal authority, a gang member. His gravestone epitaph: "I'm dead, but mafia is immortal."

🧵In 2017, Russian state media reported a fake story:

#Putin Birthday Burger served in a NY restaurant.

Goal: normalize Putin’s crimes; glorify him by faking respect and recognition on a global scale.

In 2024, #TuckerCarlson serves the US a Putin Nothing Burger.

Method: 1. A false claim/story produced.
2. Circulated on SM. Bots/trolls push #s to trending
3. MSM reports it
4. Many outlets echo
5. A public discussion ensues. Experts, prominent public figures, laymen join in with opinions, repeating the story until it becomes common knowledge...

🚨🚨🚨Kremlin trolls’ activity: unprecedented high after a short break.

They masquerade as authentic X users; gaslight; amplify disnfo; confuse; etc

Time for a refresher on their tactics: #Kremlin propaganda playbook. 🧵w @BylineTimes

1. Pushing Kremlin Narratives->… 1. Pushing Kremlin Narratives
The Kremlin has been working  on creating a new “post-Western world order” narrative (Western countries and institutions no longer enjoying the same amount of power and influence they once did.

🚨 Kremlin's hybrid war targets Western democracies.

Thread focus: mind war countermeasures. Individual and collective defense.

In-depth analysis of the hybrid war/mind war: Parts 1, 2.

Art by @LuluLemew Individual Defense:

→Think critically
→ Think before acting
→Analyze the information source. Check references. Check the title and affiliation of the media, the date of publication; author’s bio
→Educate yourself on the basics of propaganda, brainwashing, and mass psychology

Part 2. 🧵Mind war in a nutshell:

A red spider wasp paralyzes a spider by injecting poison; lays an egg inside of it.

The spider’s vital organs are still working. It is alive but can’t move.

The egg hatches and the larva eats the spider from the inside out.

📷 SimonRogghe The adversary corrupts minds slowly and inconspicuously.

It injects myths and narratives into the public information space.

It contaminates individual & collective minds.

The attacked country is paralyzed.

The adversary takes over.

Russia wages a mind war against West.

From Texas to Ukraine, from Middle
East to Africa, we are facing the geopolitical game played by the old KGB playbook—and again and again, the Western democracies are blind to it.

Insanity is repeating the same action and expect a different result…

Thread on hybrid war 1/xx Since 1999, a criminal government, headed by Putin, runs Russia as a mafia state. By 2018, a conglomerate of officials, security forces and organized crime has consolidated power and took under control all aspects of political and social life.
