Russia is harassing U.S. diplomats all over Europe

Russian intelligence and security services have been waging a campaign of harassment and intimidation against U.S. diplomats, embassy staff and their families in Moscow and several other European capitals that has rattled ambassadors and prompted Secretary of State John F. Kerry to ask Vladimir Putin to put a stop to it.
At a recent meeting of U.S. ambassadors from Russia and Europe in Washington, U.S. ambassadors to several European countries complained that Russian intelligence officials were constantly perpetrating acts of harassment against their diplomatic staff that ranged from the weird to the downright scary. Some of the intimidation has been routine: following diplomats or their family members, showing up at their social events uninvited or paying reporters to write negative stories about them.
But many of the recent acts of intimidation by Russian security services have crossed the line into apparent criminality. In a series of secret memos sent back to Washington, described to me by several current and former U.S. officials who have written or read them, diplomats reported that Russian intruders had broken into their homes late at night, only to rearrange the furniture or turn on all the lights and televisions, and then leave. One diplomat reported that an intruder had defecated on his living room carpet.
In Moscow, where the harassment is most pervasive, diplomats reported slashed tires and regular harassment by traffic police. Former ambassador Michael McFaul was hounded by government-paid protesters, and intelligence personnel followed his children to school. The harassment is not new; in the first term of the Obama administration, Russian intelligence personnel broke into the house of the U.S. defense attache in Moscow and killed his dog, according to multiple former officials who read the intelligence reports.
But since the 2014 Russian intervention in Ukraine, which prompted a wide range of U.S. sanctions against Russian officials and businesses close to Putin, harassment and surveillance of U.S. diplomatic staff in Moscow by security personnel and traffic police have increased significantly, State Department press secretary John Kirby confirmed to me.
“Since the return of Putin, Russia has been engaged in an increasingly aggressive gray war across Europe. Now it’s in retaliation for Western sanctions because of Ukraine. The widely reported harassment is another front in the gray war,” said Norm Eisen, U.S. ambassador the Czech Republic from 2011 to 2014. “They are hitting American diplomats literally where they live.”
The State Department has taken several measures in response to the increased level of nefarious activity by the Russian government. All U.S. diplomats headed for Europe now receive increased training on how to handle Russian harassment, and the European affairs bureau run by Assistant Secretary Victoria Nuland has set up regular interagency meetings on tracking and responding to the incidents.
McFaul told me he and his family were regularly followed and the Russian intelligence services wanted his family to know they were being watched. Other embassy officials also suffered routine harassment that increased significantly after the Ukraine-related sanctions. Those diplomats who were trying to report on Russian activities faced the worst of it.
“It was part of a way to put pressure on government officials who were trying to do their reporting jobs. It definitely escalated when I was there. After the invasion of Ukraine, it got much, much worse,” McFaul said. “We were feeling embattled out there in the embassy.”
There was a debate inside the Obama administration about how to respond, and ultimately President Obama made the decision not to respond with similar measures against Russian diplomats, McFaul said.
A spokesman for the Russian Embassy in Washington sent me a long statement both tacitly admitting to the harassment and defending it as a response to what he called U.S. provocations and mistreatment of Russian diplomats in the United States.
“The deterioration of U.S.-Russia relations, which was not caused by us, but rather by the current Administrations’ policy of sanctions and attempts to isolate Russian, had a negative affect on the functioning of diplomatic missions, both in U.S. and Russia,” the spokesman said. “In diplomatic practice there is always the principle of reciprocity and, indeed, for the last couple of years our diplomatic staff in the United States has been facing certain problems. The Russian side has never acted proactively to negatively affect U.S. diplomats in any way.”
Evelyn Farkas, who served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia until last year, said that there is no equivalence between whatever restrictions Russian diplomats are subjected to in the United States and the harassment and intimation that U.S. diplomats suffer at the hands of the Russian security services. The fact that the Russian government stands accused of murdering prominent diplomats and defectors in European countries adds a level of fear for Russia’s targets.
“When the Russian government singles people out for this kind of intimidation, going from intimidation to harassment to something worse is not inconceivable,” Farkas said.
Kirby told me that the State Department takes the safety and well-being of American diplomatic and consular personnel abroad and their accompanying family members extremely seriously. “We have therefore repeatedly raised our concerns about harassment of our diplomatic and consular staff with the Russians, including at the highest levels,” he said.
Kerry raised the issue directly with Putin during his visit to Moscow in March. Putin made no promises about ending the harassment, which continued after Kerry returned to Washington. The U.S. ambassadors to Europe are asking the State Department to do more.
Leading members of Congress who are involved in diplomacy with Europe see the lack of a more robust U.S. response as part of an effort by the Obama administration to project a veneer of positive U.S.-Russian relations that doesn’t really exist.
“The problem is there have been no consequences for Russia,” said Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), who serves as president of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. “The administration continues to pursue a false narrative that Russia can be our partner. They clearly don’t want to be our partner, they’ve identified us as an adversary, and we need to prepare for that type of relationship.” Defense Intelligence Agency
Why Don't Russians Get Depressed?
Americans are more depressed than Russians, even though Russians are more self-reflective.
Two University of Michigan psychological scientists found that:
1️⃣ Russians were much more likely to be self-reflective: they think more about their fundamental nature and essence than Americans. But this Russian character trait was not linked to depression.*
2️⃣ Less analytical Americans had more symptoms of depression than Russians
3️⃣ Russians are more detached than while recalling a bad experience.
____🅰️ Russians thought about the bad event in a healthier way:
________(1) keeping more psychological distance from the emotional details.
________(2) analyzed their feelings, but with detachment, and this detachment buffered Russians from depression.
4️⃣ Like Eastern cultures, Russians embrace sadness and pity instead of trying to block it like Americans tend to do.
5️⃣ Russians tend to be more communal, more focused on interpersonal harmony
____🅰️ This allows them to see their own personal needs in larger context, from an outsider perspective.
6️⃣ Americans come from a tradition of rugged individualism, and tend to focus on the personal.
____🅰️ With less of a community perspective, they immerse themselves in the emotional details of negative events, and this self focus leads to distress and depression.

Чем вы готовы пожертвовать и от чего отказаться ради своих глубочайших убеждений?
На сегодняшний день Россия является единственной сверхдержавой, которая противостоит самой жестокой стране в мире - Америке.
Будучи адвокатом DC и исследователем международных отношений, я принимал участие в движении за мир на протяжении десятилетий. Я пришел к пониманию того, что в настоящее время невозможно изменить международную внешнюю политику Соединенных Штатов изнутри.
В сентябре 2018 года я возвращаюсь в Москву на 2 года, для того, чтобы получить степень магистра в области глобальной политики. Чтобы помочь сформировать российскую политику против Соединенных Штатов, мне нужно сначала понять Россию и объединиться с влиятельными москвичами.
Основываясь на мое образование в области социальных движений, в частности: рабство в 1700-х годах, я знаю, что мир во всем мире возможен. Ни одно социальное движение не состоит только из одного человека, поэтому я прошу поддержки российских патриотов и тех граждан, которые жаждут этого мира.
Для реализации этой программы необходимы средства в размере 2650 долларов США за каждые полгода двухлетнего обучения. Стоимость жилья составляет 250 долларов в месяц в течение 18 месяцев.
1. DC - ?
2. To shape Russian policy AGAINST the United States - sounds strange for a peacemaker....I would change it into finding ways to create peace between two countries. Otherwise you contradict yourself and no one will believe you. I don't like the whole sentence at all.
3. To understand Russia - be ready for a lot of laughter. We have a well known saying: Умом Россию не понять. It is impissible to understand Russia using brains. Fiodor Tiutchev said this in 1866: Умом Россию не понять. Аршином общим не измерить: У ней особенная стать - В Россию можно только верить. YOU CAN ONLY BELIEVE IN RUSSIA.

What are you willing to sacrifice and give up for your deepest held beliefs?
Today the only superpower that is standing up to America, the most violent country internationally, is Russia.
As a DC lawyer and international relations scholar I have been involved the peace movement for decades. I have come to the realization that it is currently not possible to change the United States international foreign policies from within.
In September 2018, I will return to Moscow Russia to begin a masters degree in global policy for two years. To help shape Russian policy against the United States I need to first understand Russia and network with influential Muscovites.
Based on my education of social movements, particularly the end of slavery in the 1700's I know a peaceful world is possible. No social movement involves just one person, that is why I am asking for the support of Russian patriots and those world citizens who yearn for a peaceful world.
The funds involve $2650 per term for each of four terms. Housing costs of $250 a month for 18 months.

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.

Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Firefox Need to get rid of "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/utbtdl/need_to_get_rid_of_importenterpriseroots
The two ways to lock a preference are:
(1) Enterprise Policy -- check about:policies
This can be done by dropping a file: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson
(2) Autoconfig
This is done by dropping two files: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig
What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one
From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3
3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.

Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Meddling in the Ballot Box The Causes and Effects of Partisan Electoral Interventions is a 2020 book by Dov H. Levin. The author states that the United States of America has intervened in 81 elections, more than any other country.[3]
The U.S. intervened in 81 foreign elections between 1946 and 2000, while the Soviet Union or Russia intervened in 36.[4][5] A 2018 study by Levin found that the electoral interventions determined in "many cases" the identity of the winner.[6] The study also found suggestive evidence that the interventions increased the risk of democratic breakdown in the targeted states.[6]
Among 938 global elections examined,Template:Efn The USA and USSR/Russia had combined in about one out of nine (117 total) elections, with the majority of those (68%) being through covert, rather than overt, actions.
The author explains that "on average, an electoral intervention in favor of one side contesting the election will increase its vote share by about 3 percent," an effect large enough to have potentially changed the results in seven out of 14 U.S. presidential elections occurring after 1960.[4]Template:EfnTemplate:Efn

| Я преподаю подросткам и взрослым общий английский, юридический английский, деловой английский, социологию и международную политику. (English below)
Будучи американкой, я периодически преподаю детям с 2000 года в Корпусе мира США в Украине, Одесса. Это добровольческая правительственная организация, которая работает по всему миру. С 2000 года я преподаю английский язык детям и взрослым, используя самые передовые методы обучения. Я люблю русский народ и собираюсь прожить здесь, в Москве, всю оставшуюся жизнь. В 2021 году пятеро из нас опубликовали книгу о различиях между русскими и американцами под названием “Почему русские не улыбаются?: Полное руководство по различиям между русскими и американцами”. Преподавательская деятельность позволяет мне понять неуловимую русскую душу и поделиться своей культурой и идеями. Как социолог, я привношу Америку в свои занятия. Мой опыт жизни в 6 штатах Америки, годы работы в различных сферах деятельности и все, чему я научился благодаря своим четырем дипломам. Я верю в личностно-ориентированный подход к обучению. Работая со студентами, получающими степень бакалавра маркетинга, я специально подбираю каждый урок с учетом того, чем увлечен клиент или что ему необходимо изучить для своей карьеры. Изучение английского языка должно приносить удовольствие. Когда студенты используют мой английский практически в повседневной жизни, это самое приятное чувство, которое я могу испытать в своей жизни. Достижение конкретных результатов - это моя страсть и цель в работе с каждым из моих дорогих студентов. Я с нетерпением жду встречи с вами и возможности обучать вас в ближайшее время.

I teach teenagers and adults, General English, Legal English, Business English, Sociology and International Politics.
I love the Russian people and I will live here in Moscow for the rest of my life. Five of us published a book on the differences between Russians and Americans, entitled “Why Don't Russians Smile?: The definitive guide to the differences between Russians and Americans” in 2021. Teaching allows me to understand the elusive Russian Soul and to share my culture and ideas. As a sociologist, I bring America to my lessons. My experiences living in 6 American states, my years working at a variety of careers, and everything I have learned from my four diplomas. I believe in a student centered approach to learning. With a marketing bachelors, I specially tailor each one of my lessons to what the client is passionate about or must learn for their career. Learning English should be fun. When students use my English practically in daily life, that is the most rewarding feeling that I can receive in my life. Achieving concrete results is my passion and goal with every one of my dear students. I look forward to meeting you and teaching you soon.

America's Other War: Terrorizing Colombia (2017)
https://www.amazon.com/Americas-Other-War-Terrorizing-Colombia/dp/3659929875 Purchase on Amazon]
This controversial book lifts the lid on US policy in Latin America both during and after the Cold War. It demonstrates that the war on drugs and the "war on terror" is actually part of brutal pursuit of economic interests, with US policy directly contributing to the horrific human rights situation in Colombia today. America's Forgotten War maintains that in Colombia the US has long supported a pervasive campaign of state violence directed against both armed insurgents and a wide range of unarmed progressive social forces. While the reason for this violence may change from one decade to the next, the basic policies remain the same: maintain the pro-US Colombian state, protect US economic interests and preserve strategic access to oil.
Russian
Другая война Америки: терроризация Колумбии (Russian Edition)
Эта противоречивая книга приоткрывает завесу над политикой США в Латинской Америке во время и после "холодной войны". В ней показано, что война с наркотиками и "война с терроризмом" на самом деле являются частью жестокого преследования экономических интересов, а политика США напрямую способствует ужасающей ситуации с правами человека в современной Колумбии. В книге "Забытая война Америки" утверждается, что в Колумбии США давно поддерживают широкомасштабную кампанию государственного насилия, направленную как против вооруженных повстанцев, так и против широкого круга невооруженных прогрессивных общественных сил. Хотя причины этого насилия могут меняться от одного десятилетия к другому, основная политика остается неизменной: сохранение проамериканского колумбийского государства, защита экономических интересов США и сохранение стратегического доступа к нефти.

Dieses kontroverse Buch lüftet den Deckel auf die US-Politik in Lateinamerika während und nach dem Kalten Krieg. Es zeigt, dass der Krieg gegen Drogen und der "Krieg gegen den Terror" in Wirklichkeit Teil einer brutalen Verfolgung wirtschaftlicher Interessen ist, wobei die US-Politik direkt zu der schrecklichen Menschenrechtslage im heutigen Kolumbien beiträgt. America's Forgotten War behauptet, dass die USA in Kolumbien seit langem eine allgegenwärtige Kampagne staatlicher Gewalt unterstützen, die sich sowohl gegen bewaffnete Aufständische als auch gegen ein breites Spektrum unbewaffneter progressiver sozialer Kräfte richtet. Auch wenn sich der Grund für diese Gewalt von einem Jahrzehnt zum nächsten ändern mag, so bleibt die grundlegende Politik doch dieselbe: die Aufrechterhaltung des US-freundlichen kolumbianischen Staates, der Schutz der wirtschaftlichen Interessen der USA und der Erhalt des strategischen Zugangs zum Öl.

Guide to Foreign Funding Sources Available to Ukrainian Non Profits (2002)
The Innovation and Development Centre (IDC), a Ukrainian non-profit organization, proudly presents this third edition of the directory of foreign donor opportunities for Ukrainian initiatives. In response to overwhelming demand from non-profit organizations across the country, the IDC has updated and expanded this directory to include a wider range of opportunities...
This 2002 edition has been further expanded and edited to include a larger number of foundations, governmental programs and international organizations to provide even more funding opportunities. Because of the increasingly growing influence and importance of the Internet in grant seeking, this edition focuses more on the use of the Internet than the previous two editions.
Research for this guide was conducted through March - June of 2002. Information regarding each organization, their program priorities and activities was carefully checked for accuracy and applicability to Ukraine. The IDC contacted each organization in order to obtain current information and a detailed description of their programming. Additionally, each organization was encouraged to tailor its information to the Ukrainian audience. Every effort was made to ensure the accuracy of the information presented, yet as granting priorities and organizations rapidly change, the accompanying contact information and programming may also be subject change...
The IDC would like to acknowledge the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation for providing continual support and assistance to the development of the Ukrainian third sector. Additionally, the IDC thanks U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer David Koenig for assisting with the 2000 guide. The IDC would also like to thank U.S. Peace Corps Volunteers Travis Bailey and Patrick M. Breiding for their work on the 2002 guide.

Why do They Hate Us? Origins of Anti-Americanism A Framework for Analysis
English Introduction
Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) research paper.
Why do they hate us? After 9/11, this question was heard throughout American media. Despite the interest about Anti-Americanism in the popular journalism, academic literature on the subject of Anti-Americanism has been surprising limited. While the limited research around Anti-Americanism has focused on which country's citizens are Anti-American and/or has attempted to quantify what Anti-Americanism is, little existing research has explained the social and economic factors which cause Anti-Americanism. This paper will seek to understand key cultural drivers that have fostered Anti-American sentiment. While outside the scope of this research, these results may contribute to a critical reassessment of the deep-seated roots of third world rage, and help avert future terrorist attack on United States interests.
Conclusion
This study sought to identify at a broad level, significant factors that have led to Anti-Americanism in many of the world's countries. The research first analyzed the impact of economic independent variables followed by economic aid and US troop levels. In summary, only military aid and sales showed a strong significant relationship to Anti-Americanism.
RUSSIAN excerpt (РУССКИЙ отрывок)
Почему они ненавидят нас?
Происхождение анти-американизма:
Почему они ненавидят нас? После 11 сентября этот вопрос прозвучал во всех американских СМИ. Несмотря на интерес к антиамериканизму в популярной журналистике, академическая литература по теме антиамериканизма оказалась удивительно ограниченной. В то время как ограниченные исследования вокруг антиамериканизма были сосредоточены на том, какие граждане страны являются антиамериканцами и / или пытались количественно определить, что такое антиамериканизм, мало существующих исследований объяснили социальные и экономические факторы, которые вызывают антиамериканизм. В этой статье мы попытаемся понять основные культурные факторы, которые способствовали развитию антиамериканских настроений. Хотя эти результаты и выходят за рамки настоящего исследования, они могут способствовать критической переоценке глубинных корней ярости третьего мира и помочь предотвратить будущие террористические нападения на Соединенные Штаты.
Вывод
Это исследование было направлено на выявление на широком уровне существенных факторов, которые привели к антиамериканизму во многих странах мира. В ходе исследования сначала анализировалось влияние экономических независимых переменных, а затем - экономическая помощь и численность американских войск. Таким образом, только военная помощь и продажи демонстрировали сильную значимую связь с антиамериканизмом.Обзор существующей литературы.
В исследовании 1992 года на тему антиамериканизма Смит и Вертман (1992: 188) заметили, что "хотя антиамериканизм уже давно вызывает обеспокоенность у СМИ и политиков США", антиамериканизм игнорируется учеными. Почти два десятилетия спустя, и несмотря на атаки 11 сентября и феноменальный рост антиамериканских настроений по всему миру, это утверждение все еще остается верным (Джонстон (Johnston), 2006, стр. 3). Ученые считают причиной отсутствия внимания три фактора. Первый фактор заключается в том, что антиамериканизм - это неоднозначный термин, который трудно осмыслить (Джонстон, 2006, стр. 3). Во-вторых, антиамериканизмом чаще называют эмоции, которые являются реакцией на какое-либо событие, чем используют как определение самих событий. Там, где другие темы социальных наук находят аналитиков и аналогии, антиамериканизм должен бороться с крестоносцами (Джонстон, 2006, стр. 3; Миллер, 1982, стр. 3). Последний фактор американская коллективная амнезия, человеческая тенденция перекладывать вину на удобные абстракции и культурное чувство невиновности (Мак Ферсон, Миллер (McPherson, 2004, 148; Miller, 1982), стр. 253).
Джонсон (2006: 10) заявляет, что большинство антиамериканской литературы явно имеет свой посыл, и почти все антиамериканские ученые разделяются на два лагеря. Одна группа ученых утверждает, что виноваты политики Соединенных Штатов и что Соединенные Штаты ненавидят за то, что они делают и их внешнюю политику и действия, "внешняя" причина (с. 10). Вторая группа ученых, заявляет, что антиамериканизм является иррациональным поведением, что антиамериканизм происходит от психологических, культурных или политических аспектов нации, граждане которой проявляют антиамериканизм. Эти авторы предполагают, что граждане других стран ненавидят Соединенные Штаты за то, чем они являются, "внутренняя" причина. (Джонстон (Johnston), 2006, стр. 10; Schlapentokh & Woods, 2004, стр. 167). Джонстон (2006: 5) утверждает, что "несмотря на то, что это притворяется законной социальной наукой, основная масса этой литературы в значительной степени не более чем тонко завуалированная пропаганда, которая поразительно (и тревожно) похожа на литературу, выпущенную сторонниками правого крыла и комментаторами консерваторов" . Наиболее известный внутренний взгляд - "Столкновение цивилизаций" Хантингтона (1996: 15).
Хантингтон полагает, что существует непреодолимая пропасть между Западом и его ценностями и Исламом и его ценностями. Недавние исследования основаны на этой внутренней гипотезе.

Why do they hate us? After 9/11, this question was heard throughout American media. Despite the interest about Anti-Americanism in the popular journalism, academic literature on the subject of Anti-Americanism has been surprising limited. While the limited research around Anti-Americanism has focused on which country's citizens are Anti-American and/or has attempted to quantify what Anti-Americanism is, little existing research has explained the social and economic factors which cause Anti-Americanism (Johnston, 2006, p. 2). This paper will seek to understand key cultural drivers that have fostered Anti-American sentiment. While outside the scope of this research, these results may contribute to a critical reassessment of the deep-seated roots of third world rage, and help avert future terrorist attack on United States interests. Review of Existing Literature In a 1992 essay on the topic of Anti-Americanism, Smith and Wertman (1992: 188) observed that “though anti-Americanism has long been a concern of the media and the U.S. policymakers,” Anti-Americanism has been neglected by scholars. Almost two decades later, and despite the 9/11 attacks and the phenomenal increase in Anti-American sentiment around the world, this assertion still holds true (Johnston, 2006, p. 3). Scholars attribute this lack of attention because of three factors. The first factor is that Anti-Americanism is an ambiguous term, which is difficult to conceptualize (Johnston, 2006, p. 3). Second, Anti-Americanism is more often the Origins of Anti-Americanism: Groundwork for Scholarly Analysis name of the emotion that reacts to a series of events than a definition of the events themselves. Where other social science topics finds analysts and analogies, Anti-Americanism must contend with crusaders for and against (Johnston, 2006, p. 3; Miller, 1982, p. 3). The final factor is Americans collective amnesia, the human tendency to shift blame to handy abstractions, and a cultural sense of innocence (McPherson, 2004, 148; Miller, 1982, p. 253). Johnson (2006:10) postulates that the majority of Anti-American literature clearly has an agenda, and nearly all Anti-American scholars fall into two camps. One group of scholars argues that United States policies are to blame and that the United States is hated for what it does, its foreign policies and actions, an "external" causation (p. 10). The second group of scholars, postulates that Anti-Americanism is an irrational behavior, that Anti-Americanism derives from the psychological, cultural, or political aspects of the nation whose citizens exhibit AntiAmericanism. These authors surmise that citizens of other countries hate the United States for what it is, an "internal" causation. (Johnston, 2006, p. 10; Schlapentokh & Woods, 2004, p. 167). Johnston (2006: 5) argues that "despite the pretense of being legitimate social science, the bulk of this literature is largely little more than thinly veiled propaganda that is strikingly (and disturbingly) similar to literature put out by right-wing advocacy groups and conservative commentators." footnote 1 The most famous internal view is Huntington's (1996:15) Clash of Civilizations. Huntington theorizes that there is an irreconcilable divide between the West and its values, and Islam and its values. Recent scholarship builds upon this internal hypothesis..... |

5G
Total Telecom
The Skolkovo Innovation Center, in the suburbs of Moscow, is nicknamed the "Silicon Valley" of Russia. Within Skolkovo is the Moscow Department of Information Technologies, a pioneer in 5g medical technology. 5g is the fifth generation wireless technology for digital cellular networks that began large scale deployment in 2019. As with previous cellular technologies, 5g networks rely on signals carried by radio waves - transmitted between an antenna and your phone. But when fully implemented, 5g is set to offer download speeds many times faster than today's 4G LTE networks. Russia is uniquely positioned to be a pioneer of 5g capabilities. Currently 89% of the Russia population subscribe to mobile services, making Russia one of the most highly penetrated countries in the world – ahead of both Europe and Northern America. In fact, Russia was one of the first countries in the region to launch 4G in 2012. GSMA Intelligence released an overview in 2018 that stated 5g will develop quickly in Russia, with “more than 80% of the Russian population covered by 2025.”
5g will revolutionize the medical field.. The technology allows surgeons to conduct procedures as if they were right next to the patient. Before with 4g networks, remote surgery using wireless networks was impossible, because the lag time between input and output lasts around a quarter of a second, sometimes as long as 2 seconds — a delay potentially harmful, possibly fatal, to a patient. Now, 5g promises to change all that, with its latency reduced to an almost instantaneous 2 milliseconds between devices. This will also make procedures like medical diagnosis, mobile surgery, and other real time medical treatments a reality. This will apply to both 'tele-presence,' where a surgeon can merely follow an operation on a video connection and offer expert support, and for 'tele-surgery,' where the doctor actually operates the surgical device from far away. The other equally valuable benefit of 5g is the increased volume of data that can be processed at great speed during surgery. Doctors will be able to connect many more medical devices together and gain data from the patient, in a way that isn't possible at the moment. Different medical specialists, in different places, will all be able to work together for the first time.
Second, there are many medical benefits 5g provides for large files. For example, a single patient can generate hundreds of gigabytes of data each day, from patient medical records to the large image files generated by MRI, CAT, or PET scans. A PET scanner alone generates extremely large files — up to 1 gigabyte of information per patient per study. Adding a high-speed 5g network can help quickly and reliably transport huge data files of medical imagery. A 5g network means that these large files can be transmitted quickly between doctors and hospitals, reducing the time that would otherwise be needed to move them across older networks. The reduction in time that 5g brings means more timely diagnostics, second opinions, treatment starts and adjustments, since the medical data can be transmitted and consumed by doctors faster than ever before.
In addition, the risks of 5g are minimal. 5g uses higher frequency waves than earlier mobile networks, allowing devices to have faster speeds. The electromagnetic radiation used by all mobile phone technologies has led some to worry about increased health risks, including developing cancer. In 2014 the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that "no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use". But the WHO along with the international agency for research on cancer (iarc) has classified all mobile signals as "possibly carcinogenic".
In Russia, the Moscow Department of Information Technologies at Skolkovo is leading the field in 5g medical technology. The first laparoscopy surgerical procedure was perfomed twice in Russia with the use of 5g technology. This is a surgery in which a fibre-optic instrument is inserted through the abdominal wall. A cancer tumor was successfully removed with the use of a laparoscope and 4K camera connected to the 5g network.
“Skolkovo is one of several 5g pilot zones in the Moscow region. Over the past six months, innovators have demonstrated how fifth generation communication can be used in a variety of services, from road safety to entertainment. Today, Beeline (a Russian telecomications giant) has demonstrated how 5g can benefit the medical field,” said Eduard Lysenko, Head of Moscow Department of Information Technology.
“Thanks to fifth-generation communications, medicine and medical are expected to drastically improve quality of life for citizens,” he added.
New generation networks in Russia will enable remote surgical procedures, so that it will no longer be necessary to transport a patient to a specific clinic or specialist. Furthermore, 5g makes for more mobile and comfortable operating theaters, thanks to its ability to connect medical equipment wirelessly. Finally, thanks to 5g, remote consultations will reduce the need for travel, significantly saving both doctor and patient time. This will have a big impact on medical specialists, who spend more than 70% of their time travelling from one location to another for complex operations.
Moscow's Department of Information Technologies at Skolkovo is a technology pioneer in the field of 5G. Thisdecade, the technology that this department is developing will dramatically improve outcomes in health care.

Тревис Бейли, американский юрист: "Байден — военный преступник"
- https://www.russia-news.ru/ru/politics/8-news/3742-trevis-bejli-amerikanskij-yurist-bajden-voennyj-prestupnik Тревис Бейли, американский юрист: "Байден — военный преступник" Travis Bailey, American Lawyer - Biden is a War Criminal]. October 17, 2022.
Корреспонденты "Russia News" поговорили с американским юристом и писателем из Оклахомы, господином Тревисом Бейли, который рассказал, почему переехал из США в Россию и пока не планирует возвращаться на Родину.
— Здравствуйте, расскажите, почему Вы решились на переезд?
— Здравствуйте, меня зовут Тревис Бейли, я американец и живу в России. Причина моего переезда сюда— идеологическая. Я поддерживаю Россию и очень разочарован в Америке. Я разочарован американской политикой, то как она ведётся, что называется "imagining", вооброжаемо.
— Что Вы думаете об эскалации конфликта со стороны НАТО?
— Чтобы понять это, надо понимать Америку. Америка – это страна, которая вела много войн в ходе своей истории, но в последние 17 лет не вела войн на своей территории. США победили на всём американском континенте, устроив геноцид коренного населения континента, индейцев. И Гитлер, который начал Вторую Мировую войну, тоже мечтал о мировом господстве. Он изучал американский опыт геноцида индейцев, и считал что это очень хорошая система, подходящая для геноцида евреев в фашистской Германии. Далее в 1895 году Америка стала колонией власти. После взрыва броненосца "Мэн" в гавани Гаваны (Куба), США захватили принадлежавшие Королевству Испания Кубу, Пуэрто-Рико и Филиппины.Филиппины стали вторым местом, где был создан концентрационный лагерь. Первые концентрационные лагеря были построены в Южно-Африканской Республике солдатами британской армии во время Англо-бурской войны. А вторым местом стали Филиппины.
Америка продолжает расширение своего влияния. Во время Первой мировой войны велось много военных действий в разных странах, а после Второй Мировой войны, Америка решила создать НАТО. НАТО создавалось как противовес Советскому Союзу. Президент Путин вспоминал недавно о целях создания НАТО, оно не было создано для всей Европы, цель его именно противостояние с СССР. После развала СССР в 1990 году госсекретарь США Джеймс Бейкер заверил Михаила Горбачёва о том, что НАТО не будет расширяться ( "ни дюйма на восток"). И это было задокументировано.
С тех пор НАТО постоянно расширялось на Восток. Балтийские страны (Латвия, Литва, Эстония) вошли в него. Далее это стало распространяться на Украину и Грузию, что стало красной линией для России. В 2008 году было военное столкновение с Грузией. В 2014 году – это Киев. Все, кто следил через видеохостинги за событиями на Майдане знают, что некоторые американские политические лидеры присутствовали там и поддерживали Майдан. В это же время футбольная команда Азов (запрещена в России), которая состояла из фашиствующих элементов принимала участие в событиях на Майдане.
— Что говорят обычные жители Америки о действиях НАТО?
— В США сама лучшая в мире пропаганда. Козырной картой России является образованность и ум её населения. Козырной картой Америки является пропаганда. Америка – это остров и всё что её население знает о других странах – это то что создано американской пропагандой. Говрят, что в Америке две религии, одна религия – это христианство, а вторая – это пропаганда. Поэтому все люди привержены этой идеологии и они полностью верят тому, что они несут демократию всему миру.
С начала конфликта на Украине, с начала Специальной военной операции на Украине, США постоянно делают всё для разжигания этого конфликта. Они провоцируют Россию на экстремальные поступки, и проведение ядерных учений НАТО всего в 600 милях от границ России – это продолжение этих действий. Они продолжают делать самые странные и экстраординарные вещи, потому что они в отчаянии. Китай обошёл США экономически, и отодвинул Америку на второе место, а американцы не любят быть на втором месте. Я американец и поэтому мне известно, насколько там люди агрессивны, они никогда не согласятся с тем, что они не первые.
Вот это несколько примеров того, как они поступали и они будут продолжать провоцировать и сталкивать страны.
Это делают неоконсерваторы, они говорят, что США следует установить свою гегемонию в мире и они есть как в демократической, так и в республиканской партиях. Для нас, простых американцев важно вернуть наши войска домой и заниматься нашими собственными проблемами.
Поэтому я поддерживаю, например, демократа из Кентукки, он баллотируется в конгресс против неоконсерваторов, его зовут Джеф Ян и он баллотируется на платформе за упразднение ЦРУ. Есть его билборд в Кентукки. Есть другой политик, её зовут Дайян Сэйр(Diane Sare)- она либертариантка, возглавляет абсолютно противоположное направление, а также Чак Шумер (Chuck Shumer) глава демократической партии – эти люди разжигатели войны. Они заявляют о том. Что они заботятся о людях, о меньшинствах, геях, о правах женщин, но на самом деле, их волнует только гегемония США.
— Вы знаете, что сейчас в Европе энергетический кризис. США стараются перехватить все контракты. Как Вы считаете, кто создал этот энергетический кризис. Почему они не стараются помочь, а только разрушают?
— США заботятся только о себе. Если потребуется разрушить Европу для того, чтобы победить Россию, то они её уничтожат. Главная цель – это разрушить Россию. Они видят, что Россия становится огромной силой и объединяется с Китаем. Есть один известный youtube- канал, который ведут два блогера. Один из них британец, его зовут Александр. Он предсказывает что к концу 2022 года все европейцы поймут, что они стали задворками, без экономики. И это сейчас происходит. Экономика Европы разрушается. Санкции не работают. И поскольку возможностей для новых санкций не осталось, администрация Байден задумалась о наложении санкций на поставки алюминия из России. Китай на первом месте по производству алюминия, Россия на втором. Санкции на алюминий разрушат экономику США и Европы.
Недавно Саудовская Аравия и другие члены ОПЕК+ договорились снизить добычу нефти на 2 млн баррелей в сутки. Стало известно, что Байден просил их отложить это решение на один месяц, пока не пройдут выборы в США. Администрация Байдена и неоконсерваторы не волнуются об американском народе, они беспокоятся только о сохранении власти и поддержке военного комплекса в США. И они готовы пойти на всё ради этого.
— Как Вы думаете, могут ли страны Россия, Саудовская Аравия, Африка и др. стать новым энергетическим центром?
— Президент Путин, независимо от того нравится он Вам или нет, является очень хорошим юристом. Хотя в США его представляют все, как бывшего офицера КГБ, но он действует, как великолепный юрист. Он думает, как юрист. Он думает, на многие годы вперёд.
Во время недавнего голосования в ООН по осуждению референдумов на захваченных Россией территориях Украины, практически 50 % мировых лидеров не поддержали или воздержались от голосования за эту резолюцию. Это потому, что Путин и его администрация, которая полностью его поддерживает создают на основе БРИКС блок стран, которые выступают за дедолларизацию. Путин продвигает эту идею. Это означает, что торговля между странами будет вестись, например, в рублях или юанях и всё меньше будет использоваться доллар, как мировая валюта. И такие страны, как Китай, Россия, они не вмешиваются во внутреннюю политику других стран, они уважают национальные традиции в отличие от США. Для китайцев тоже бизнес на первом месте. Они против вмешательства в выборы, против смены режимов в других странах, они фокусируются только на бизнесе. И это более честные отношения, это равные отношения между Африканским континентом и Востоком.
— Что Вы можете сказать о прошедшей Российской Энергетической неделе, которую организовал Росконгресс? На ваш взгляд, однополярный мир уходит в прошлое?
— Начиная с 1991 до 2014-2022, Америка была мировым лидером и у неё был шанс стать главной мировой империей. Но она упустила этот шанс. Я был против войны в Ираке. И я знаю о миллионах людей, которых убила Америка после окончания Второй мировой войны. Америка убила консервативным способом 6 миллионов людей. Это столько же, сколько Гитлер убил евреев в концентрационных лагерях. Сейчас это количество ещё увеличивается.
В своей речи по поводу присоединения новых территорий Украины к России, Путин как раз сказал то, что я повторяю уже много лет.
То что Америка сделала 11 сентября 1973 года, военный переворот в Чили. Это то, что Путин назвал "капитализмом катастроф", было свергнуто избранное демократическое правительство и поставлена военная хунта во главе с генералом Пиночетом. США хотели устроить экономический кризис. И они продолжают делать это по всему миру. После развала Советского Союза, они хотят сделать это с Россией, развалить её. Превратить Россию в вассала, в маленькую колонию. Поэтому они привели к власти в России пьяную марионетку Ельцина. Но они не учли образованность и ум российского народа. Путин понял, что США его обманывают и что следует остановить США, как самую агрессивную страну в мире.
— Что Вы можете сказать о президенте Путине?
— К нему можно относиться по-разному, любить или ненавидеть, но он гений. Я поддерживаю его. Если бы больше русских знали историю Америки и ЦРУ, они бы тоже его поддерживали. Именно поэтому я здесь. У меня есть знания в области маркетинга и экономики и я знаю историю США и ЦРУ.
— За что Вы можете сказать спасибо России?
— Я очень благодарен России, Москве и СМИ за то, что здесь в отличие от США я имею право голоса.
Это самая лучшая страна. Самые лучшие люди.
Здесь очень глубокая настоящая дружба и очень близкие семейные связи, которые я не испытывал, живя в США.
— Что Вы можете сказать о Байдене?
— Байден – военный преступник. Он поддерживал войну в Ираке, в ходе которой было убито по оценкам от 500 000 до полутора миллионов иракцев. Американцы всегда говорят, что они заботятся о гражданском населении, о меньшинствах. Но они убивают миллионы гражданских. К примеру, Скотт Риттер знает насколько Байден был ужасен, и он назвал его военным преступником.
Также как и любой другой президент США, как сказал Ноам Хомский, основными источниками международного терроризма являются США. И что требуется новый Нюрнбернгский процесс. Байден – военный преступник.
Когда 6 января 2021 года было нападение на Капитолий я устроил протест напротив американского посольства. У меня был плакат со словами "президент Байден Вашим наследием может стать мир". Он не услышал и теперь разрушает США.
Travis Bailey, American Lawyer - Biden is a War Criminal

Note: The original television broadcast had some errors in translation, corrected below.
Russia News correspondents spoke with an American lawyer and writer from [Washington DC], Mr. Travis Bailey, who told why he moved from the USA to Russia and does not yet plan to return to his homeland.
— Hello, tell us why you decided to move?
— Hello, my name is Travis Bailey, I am American and live in Russia. The reason for my moving here is ideological. I support Russia and am very disappointed in America. I am disappointed in American politics, the way it is conducted, what is called “imagining,” is imaginary.
— What do you think about the escalation of the conflict by NATO?
“To understand this, you need to understand America.” America is a country that has fought many wars throughout its history, but has not fought a war on its soil in the last 17 years. The United States won the entire American continent, committing genocide of the continent's indigenous population, the Indians. And Hitler, who started World War II, also dreamed of world domination. He studied the American experience of genocide of Indians, and believed that this was a very good system suitable for the genocide of Jews in Nazi Germany. Then in 1895, America became a power colony. After the explosion of the battleship Maine in the harbor of Havana (Cuba), the United States captured Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines, which belonged to the Kingdom of Spain. The Philippines became the second place where a concentration camp was created. The first concentration camps were built in the Republic of South Africa by British soldiers during the Boer War. And the Philippines came in second place.
America continues to expand its influence. During the First World War, many military actions were carried out in different countries, and after the Second World War, America decided to create NATO. NATO was created as a counterweight to the Soviet Union. President Putin recently recalled the goals of creating NATO; it was not created for the whole of Europe, its purpose was precisely confrontation with the USSR. After the collapse of the USSR in 1990, US Secretary of State James Baker assured Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not expand (“not an inch to the east”). And it was documented.
Since then, NATO has continually expanded to the East. The Baltic countries (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia) entered it. This then began to spread to Ukraine and Georgia, which became a red line for Russia. In 2008 there was a military clash with Georgia. In 2014, this is Kyiv. Anyone who followed the events on the Maidan through video hosting sites knows that some American political leaders were present there and supported the Maidan. At the same time, the Azov football team (banned in Russia), which consisted of fascist elements, took part in the events on the Maidan.
— What do ordinary Americans say about NATO’s actions?
— The USA has the best propaganda in the world. Russia's trump card is the education and intelligence of its population. America's trump card is propaganda. America is an island and everything that its population knows about other countries is what was created by American propaganda. They say that there are two religions in America, one religion is Christianity, and the second is propaganda. Therefore, all people are committed to this ideology and they fully believe that they are bringing democracy to the whole world.
Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, since the beginning of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, the United States has been constantly doing everything to inflame this conflict. They provoke Russia into extreme actions, and holding NATO nuclear exercises just 600 miles from Russia's borders is a continuation of these actions. They keep doing the strangest and most extraordinary things because they are desperate. China has surpassed the United States economically and pushed America into second place, and Americans do not like to be in second place. I am an American and therefore I know how aggressive people are there; they will never agree that they are not the first.
These are a few examples of how they acted and they will continue to provoke and pit countries against one another.
This is what neoconservatives do, they say that the United States should establish its hegemony in the world and they are in both the Democratic and Republican parties. It is important for us ordinary Americans to bring our troops home and deal with our own problems.
That's why I support, for example, a Democrat from Kentucky, he's running for Congress against the neocons, his name is Jeff Yang and he's running on a platform to abolish the CIA. There's a billboard of him in Kentucky. There is another politician, her name is Diane Sare - she is a libertarian, she heads the completely opposite direction, and also Chuck Schumer, the head of the Democratic Party - these people are warmongers. They declare that. That they care about people, about minorities, about gays, about women's rights, but in reality, they only care about US hegemony.
— You know that there is an energy crisis in Europe now. The US is trying to intercept all contracts. Who do you think created this energy crisis? Why don't they try to help, but only destroy?
— The USA only cares about itself. If it is necessary to destroy Europe in order to defeat Russia, then they will destroy it. The main goal is to destroy Russia. They see Russia becoming a huge power and aligning itself with China. There is one famous YouTube channel run by two bloggers. One of them is British, his name is Alexander. He predicts that by the end of [2032] all Europeans will realize that they have become a backwater, without an economy. And this is happening now. Europe's economy is collapsing. Sanctions don't work. And with no room left for new sanctions, the Biden administration is thinking about imposing sanctions on aluminum supplies from Russia. China is in first place in aluminum production, Russia is in second. Sanctions on aluminum will destroy the economies of the United States and Europe.
Recently, Saudi Arabia and other OPEC+ members agreed to reduce oil production by 2 million barrels per day. It became known that Biden asked them to postpone this decision for one month until the US elections are held. The Biden administration and neocons don't care about the American people, they only care about maintaining power and maintaining the US military complex. And they are ready to do anything for this.
— Do you think the countries of Russia, Saudi Arabia, Africa, etc. can become a new energy center?
— President Putin, regardless of whether you like him or not, is a very good lawyer. Although in the USA everyone presents him as a former KGB officer, he acts like an excellent lawyer. He thinks like a lawyer. He thinks for many years to come.
During the recent vote at the UN to condemn referendums in the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, almost 50% of world leaders did not support or abstained from voting for this resolution. This is because Putin and his administration, which fully supports him, are creating on the basis of BRICS a bloc of countries that advocate de-dollarization. Putin is promoting this idea. This means that trade between countries will be conducted, for example, in rubles or yuan, and the dollar will be used less and less as a world currency. And countries like China, Russia, they do not interfere in the internal politics of other countries, they respect national traditions, unlike the United States. For the Chinese, business comes first too. They are against interference in elections, against regime change in other countries, they only focus on business. And this is a more honest relationship, this is an equal relationship between the African continent and the East.
— What can you say about the past Russian Energy Week, which was organized by Roscongress? In your opinion, is the unipolar world becoming a thing of the past?
— From 1991 to 2014-2022, America was the world leader and had a chance to become the world's main empire. But she missed this chance. I was against the war in Iraq. And I know about the millions of people America has killed since the end of World War II. America has killed 6 million people conservatively. This is the same amount as Hitler killed Jews in concentration camps. Now this number is even increasing.
In his speech on the annexation of new territories of Ukraine to Russia, Putin just said what I have been repeating for many years.
What America did on September 11, 1973, was a military coup in Chile. In what Putin called “disaster capitalism,” the elected democratic government was overthrown and a military junta was installed led by General Pinochet. The US wanted to create an economic crisis. And they continue to do this all over the world. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, they want to do this to Russia, destroy it. Turn Russia into a vassal, into a small colony. That's why they brought Yeltsin's drunken puppet to power in Russia. But they did not take into account the education and intelligence of the Russian people. Putin realized that the United States was deceiving him and that the United States should be stopped as the most aggressive country in the world.
— What can you say about President Putin?
“You can treat him differently, love him or hate him, but he is a genius.” I support him. If more Russians knew the history of America and the CIA, they would support him too. That's why I'm here. I have a background in marketing and economics and I know US and CIA history.
— What can you say thank you to Russia for?
— I am very grateful to Russia, Moscow and the media for the fact that here, unlike the United States, I have the right to vote.
This is the best country. The best people.
There are very deep, genuine friendships and very close family connections here that I didn't experience living in the US.
— What can you say about Biden?
— Biden is a war criminal. He supported the Iraq War, in which an estimated 500,000 to one and a half million Iraqis were killed. Americans always say that they care about the civilian population, about minorities. But they kill millions of civilians. For example, Scott Ritter knows how terrible Biden was and he called him a war criminal.
Just like any other US president, as Noam Chomsky said, the main sources of international terrorism are the United States. And that a new Nuremberg trial is required. Biden is a war criminal.
When the Capitol was attacked on January 6, 2021, I protested in front of the American Embassy. I had a sign that said, “President Biden, your legacy can be peace.” He didn't listen and is now destroying the USA.
Travis Bailey, American lawyer: "Russia's victory is as inevitable as the sunrise" 1 of 2 (October 26, 2022) (English)
Audio:
Hello my name is Travis Lee Bailey, I am a lawyer from Washington D.C. originally from Idaho. The reason why I do not live in my native America is because the USA is now the most violent country in the world and I as a person cannot agree with how many deaths and misfortunes these people caused conflicts first in Ukraine, the United States is constantly doing everything to incite this conflict, they are provoking Russia to extreme actions and wanting to conduct NATO nuclear exercises near the borders of Russia is another confirmation of this. The United States continues to do the strangest extraordinary things because, in desperation, China has bypassed the United States economically and pushed America aside to second place. Americans don’t like to be on the sidelines. I’m an American myself and that’s why I know how aggressive people are there. They will never agree that they are not the first. Biden is a war criminal he supported the war in Iraq during which an estimated 500,000 to one and a half million people were killed in Iraqi. Americans always say that they care about the civilian population and minorities. At the same time, they calmly kill the majority of millions of citizens of other countries. I invite everyone to come to Russia because it is such a wonderful place technologically.Yes, and the transport system,banking system, infrastructure, they are much more developed here than in the USA. We, China and Russia, we are on the right side of history.
--- October 26, 2022:
Moscow has notified the Pentagon of the start of the traditional autumn strategic exercises "Thunder", during which launches of intercontinental missiles will be carried out. This was announced by Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder during a media briefing. Earlier, on October 17, the NATO nuclear deterrence exercise "Steadfast Noon" (Steadfast Noon) with the participation of 14 countries began 600 miles from the Russian border. As American lawyer and writer Travis Bailey told our publication, the United States is deliberately provoking Russia by conducting exercises so close to its border.
"The reason why I don't live in my native America lies in the fact that the USA is now the most violent country in the world and I, as a person, cannot agree with how many deaths and misfortunes these people have caused. Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, the United States has been constantly doing everything to foment this conflict. They provoke Russia to extreme actions, and the holding of NATO nuclear exercises near the borders of Russia once again confirms this fact. The US continues to do the strangest and most extraordinary things because they are desperate. China has bypassed the United States economically, and pushed America into second place, and Americans do not like to be on the sidelines. I am an American myself, and therefore I know how aggressive people are there, they will never agree that they are not the first," American lawyer Travis Bailey told Russia News.
According to him, hypocrisy in the United States is off the scale today. Speaking of tolerance towards minorities and various movements, the American authorities are quietly destroying the majority of citizens in other countries.
"Biden is a war criminal. He supported the Iraq war, during which an estimated 500,000 to one and a half million Iraqis were killed. Americans always say that they care about the civilian population, about minorities. At the same time, they calmly kill the majority - millions of citizens of other countries. I invite you all to come to Russia, It is such a wonderful place, technologically speaking. The transport system, banking system, and infrastructure are much more developed than in the United States.

Travis Bailey also noted the importance of working with volunteers in prisons. Such an innovative approach, according to the American lawyer, helps prisoners to rehabilitate themselves.
Трэвис Бейли, американский юрист: "Победа России так же неизбежна, как восход солнца" 1 из 2 (26 октября 2022 г.) (Russian)
Москва уведомила Пентагон о начале традиционных осенних стратегических учений "Гром", в ходе которых будут осуществляться пуски межконтинентальных ракет. Об этом сообщил представитель Пентагона Патрик Райдер во время брифинга для СМИ. Ранее, 17 октября, в 600 милях от российской границы начались учения НАТО по ядерному сдерживанию "Стойкий полдень" (Steadfast Noon) с участием 14 стран. Как нашему изданию рассказал американский юрист и писатель Тревис Бейли, США специально провоцируют Россию, проводя учения так близко к ее границе.
"Причина, почему я не живу в родной Америке кроется в том, что США сейчас является самой жестокой страной в мире и я, как человек, не могу согласиться с тем, сколько смертей и несчастий причинили эти люди. С начала конфликта на Украине, США постоянно делают всё для разжигания этого конфликта. Они провоцируют Россию на экстремальные поступки, и проведение ядерных учений НАТО недалеко от границ России – еще раз подтверждают этот факт. США продолжают делать самые странные и экстраординарные вещи, потому что они в отчаянии. Китай обошёл США экономически, и отодвинул Америку на второе место, а американцы не любят быть на вторых ролях. Я сам американец и поэтому мне известно, насколько там люди агрессивны, они никогда не согласятся с тем, что они не первые",- рассказал "Russia News" американский юрист Тревис Бейли.
По его словам, лицемерие в США сегодня зашкаливает. Говоря о толерантности к меньшинствам и различным движениям, американские власти спокойно уничтожают большинство граждан в других странах. "Байден – военный преступник. Он поддерживал войну в Ираке, в ходе которой было убито по оценкам от 500 000 до полутора миллионов иракцев. Американцы всегда говорят, что они заботятся о гражданском населении, о меньшинствах. При этом они спокойно убивают большинство- миллионы граждан других стран. Я приглашаю вас всех приезжать в Россию, Это такое прекрасное место, в технологическом отношении. Транспортная система, банковская система, инфраструктура, гораздо более развитые, чем в США. Мы, Китай и Россия, мы на правильной стороне истории.
Трейси Бейли также отметил важность работы с добровольцами в тюрьмах. Такой новаторский подход, по мнению американского юриста, помогает заключенным реабилитироваться.

Здравствуйте, меня зовут Трэвис Бейли, я юрист из Вашингтона, округ Колумбия, родом из Айдахо. Причина, по которой я не живу в своей родной Америке, заключается в том, что США сейчас - самая жестокая страна в мире, и я как человек не могу согласиться с тем, сколько смертей и несчастий эти люди вызвали в первую очередь в Украине, Соединенные Штаты постоянно делают все, чтобы разжечь этот конфликт, они провоцируют Готовность России к крайним действиям и желание НАТО провести ядерные учения вблизи границ России являются еще одним подтверждением этого. Соединенные Штаты продолжают совершать самые странные и экстраординарные поступки, потому что в отчаянии Китай обошел Соединенные Штаты в экономическом плане и оттеснил Америку на второе место. Американцы не любят оставаться в стороне. Я сам американец и поэтому знаю, насколько агрессивны там люди. Они никогда не согласятся с тем, что они не первые. Байден - военный преступник, он поддерживал войну в Ираке, в ходе которой, по оценкам, в Ираке погибло от 500 000 до полутора миллионов человек.

Travis Lee Bailey, lawyer from the United States: "Russia's victory is inevitable. It's like a sunrise that can't be stopped." 2 of 2 (October 26, 2022) (English)
Moscow has notified the Pentagon of the start of the traditional autumn strategic exercises "Thunder" from today, during which launches of intercontinental missiles will be carried out...Earlier, on October 17, (2022) the NATO nuclear deterrence exercise "Persistent Noon" with the participation of 14 countries began 600 miles from the Russian border. As American lawyer and writer Travis Bailey told our publication, the United States is deliberately provoking Russia by conducting exercises so close to its border.
"The reason why I don't live in my native America lies in the fact that the USA is now the most violent country in the world and I, as a person, cannot agree with how many deaths and misfortunes these people have caused. Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, the United States has been constantly doing everything to foment this conflict. They provoke Russia to extreme actions, and the holding of NATO nuclear exercises near the borders of Russia once again confirms this fact. The US continues to do the strangest and most extraordinary things because they are desperate. China has bypassed the United States economically, and pushed America into second place, and Americans do not like to be on the sidelines. I am an American myself, and therefore I know how aggressive people are there, they will never agree that they are not the first," American lawyer Travis Bailey told Russia News.
According to him, hypocrisy in the United States is off the scale today. Speaking of tolerance towards minorities and various movements, the American authorities are quietly destroying the majority of citizens in other countries."

Working with people in prisons is a very interesting approach and a way to recruit volunteer soldiers, I haven’t even heard of something like this in America. Although this is very important because it gives people the opportunity to rehabilitate. I believe in the Russian army while the United States, together with the CIA puppet Zelensky, is engaged in marketing and propaganda, Russia is slowly but surely moving towards the goal and defeating this fascist regime. As a result, Ukraine will become an effective country without any independent statehood. I know that Russia will win, it’s inevitable, it’s like a sunrise that cannot be stopped.

As the American lawyer Travis Bailey told Russia News, it was a discovery and a "know-how" for him to be able to go to the area of his detention in Russia. In his opinion, this is a good opportunity for these people to rehabilitate themselves. Bailey had never heard of such a thing in America, although, according to him, his country should learn from such an innovative approach, because that's where the most prisoners are.
"Working with people in prisons is a very interesting approach and a way to recruit volunteers, soldiers. I have not even heard of something like this in America, although it is very important, because it gives people the opportunity to rehabilitate themselves.
I generally believe in the Russian army, while the United States, together with the CIA puppet Zelensky, is engaged in marketing and propaganda, Russia is slowly but surely moving towards the goal and defeating this fascist regime. As a result, Ukraine will become a fictitious country, having no independent statehood. And I know that Russia will win. It's inevitable. It's like a sunrise that can't be stopped."

Работа с людьми в тюрьмах - очень интересный подход и один из способов вербовки солдат-добровольцев, я даже не слышал о чем-то подобном в Америке. Хотя это очень важно, потому что дает людям возможность реабилитироваться. Я верю в российскую армию, в то время как Соединенные Штаты вместе с марионеткой ЦРУ Зеленским занимаются маркетингом и пропагандой, Россия медленно, но верно движется к цели и побеждает этот фашистский режим. В результате Украина станет эффективной страной без какой-либо независимой государственности. Я знаю, что Россия победит, это неизбежно, это как восход солнца, который невозможно остановить.

Как "Russia News" рассказал американский юрист Тревис Бейли, для него стало открытием и "ноу-хау" возможность в России отправиться в зону действия СВО заключенным. По его мнению, это хорошая возможность реабилитироваться для этих людей. Бейли никогда не слышал о подобном в Америке, хотя, по его словам, его стране стоило бы поучиться такому новаторскому подходу, ведь именно там больше всего арестантов. "Работа с людьми в тюрьмах- это очень интересный подход и способ набирать добровольцев, солдат. О чем-то подобном в Америке я даже не слышал, хотя это очень важно, ведь это даёт людям возможность реабилитироваться. Я вообще верю в российскую армию, пока США вместе с марионеткой ЦРУ Зеленским занимается маркетингом и пропагандой, Россия медленно, но верно идет к цели и побеждает этот фашистский режим. В итоге, Украина станет фиктивной страной, не имея никакой самостоятельной государственности. И я знаю, что Россия победит. Это неизбежно. Это как восход солнца, который нельзя остановить"
Westerners in Russia despite tension (November 30, 2022)
Travis Lee Bailey, a writer specializing in social affairs and a dissident American lawyer, also confirmed that he has not been subjected to any discrimination, expressing his belief that “ordinary people, whether in Russia or the United States, wish for peace to prevail in the world.”
He told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed: “My life is going well. A number of influential figures know that I love Russia, and what scholars call the Russian idea. Peace between nations is possible if ordinary people, especially Americans, say no to war. America is a young country and an island isolated from the rest of the world. It is rare for Americans to travel and live abroad, so it is not easy to convince them to support policies that conflict with their economic interests.”
Bailey praises the level of culture in Russia compared to the United States, saying: "Russia's trump card is human intelligence, while America relies on propaganda, in which it is 20 years ahead of any other country, especially Russia. God bless President Vladimir Putin and the Russian Federation in this time, which is interesting for me to live in."

أيضا، يؤكد الكاتب المتخصص في الشؤون الاجتماعية المحامي الأميركي المنشق، ترافيس لي بيلي، عدم تعرضه لأي تمييز، معرباً عن قناعته بأن "الأشخاص العاديين، سواء في روسيا أو الولايات المتحدة، يتمنون أن يسود السلام في العالم".
ويقول لـ"العربي الجديد": "تسير حياتي بشكل جيد. يعلم عدد من الشخصيات المؤثرة أنني أحب روسيا، وما يسميه علماء الفكرة الروسية. السلام بين الأمم وارد في حال قال أشخاص عاديون، لا سيما الأميركيين منهم، لا للحرب. أميركا بلد شاب وجزيرة معزولة عن باقي العالم. من النادر أن يسافر ويقيم والأميركيون في الخارج، لذا لا يسهل إقناعهم بدعم سياسات تتعارض مع مصالحهم الاقتصادية".
ويشيد بيلي بمستوى الثقافة في روسيا مقارنة بالولايات المتحدة، ويقول: "ورقة روسيا الرابحة هي الذكاء البشري، بينما تعتمد أميركا على الدعاية التي تسبق فيها بـ20 سنة أي دولة أخرى، خصوصاً روسيا. بارك الله الرئيس فلاديمير بوتين وروسيا الاتحادية في هذا الزمن الذي من المثير للاهتمام أن أعيش فيه".

Residents of the United States continue to confess their love for Russia and admire its beauty. A lawyer from the USA, Travis Bailey, told Petersburg News that our city is now forever in his heart, because it is the center of real, not depraved LGBT culture, traditions and tourism.
Now Bailey invites all his fellow citizens to come to Russia, instead of listening to Biden's ridiculous tales and living in a world of Sodom and Gomorrah.
"Welcome to the beautiful St. Petersburg! This is a diamond, the most beautiful city! There is a beautiful train station here, it's just phenomenal! Come to St. Petersburg, this is the best place to relax in a country with an amazing history," American Travis Bailey told Petersburg News.
(Removed incorrect text)... He is not even afraid of ice and sudden changes in the weather. He dreams of meeting a Russian wife here, so that she would give birth to a child and give him real happiness.

Жители США продолжают признаваться в любви к России и восторгаться ее красотой. Юрист из США, Тревис Бейли, рассказал "Peterburg News", что наш город теперь навсегда в его сердце, ведь это центр настоящей, а не развратной ЛГБТ-культуры, традиций и туризма.
Теперь Бейли приглашает всех своих сограждан приезжать в Россию, вместо того, чтобы слушать нелепые байки Байдена и жить в мире Содом и Гоморры.
"Добро пожаловать в прекрасный Санкт- Петербург! Это бриллиант, красивейший город! Здесь красивейший вокзал, это просто феноменально! Приезжайте в Петербург, это лучшее место для отдыха в стране с удивительной историей",- рассказал "Петербург Ньюс" американец Тревис Бейли.
... Его даже не пугают гололед и резкие перемены погоды. Он мечтает встретить здесь русскую жену, чтобы она родила ему ребенка и подарила настоящее счастье.

"Я сказал им: "Джентельмены, извините, что прерываю вас, но хочу сказать— я поддерживаю то, что вы делаете! Вы реально молодцы!",- рассказал "Russia News" американец Тревис Бейли.
Тревис остался под большим впечатлением от Московского вокзала Санкт- Петербурга, а сам город настолько поразил его, что он решил искать здесь жену, чтобы она подарила ему малыша и настоящее семейное счастье

24 Legal Novels by John Grisham

- John Grisham is an extremely popular best selling American author who writes about lawyers and law. Several of his books have become films with such Hollywood superstars such as Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts. They are very well written and extremely entertaining good books. I would recommend the book the "Firm" first.

Copyright
- Copyrigh Term Extension Act, also known as the Sonny Bono Act [Cher's dead husband], or (derisively) the Mickey Mouse Protection Act, effectively "froze" the advancement date of the public domain in the United States for works covered by the older fixed term copyright rules.
The 1998 Act extended these terms to life of the author plus 70 years and for works of corporate authorship to 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication, whichever end is earlier. Copyright protection for works published before January 1, 1978, was increased by 20 years to a total of 95 years from their publication date.
Under this Act, works made in 1923 or afterwards that were still protected by copyright in 1998 would not enter the public domain until January 1, 2019 or later. Mickey Mouse specifically, having first appeared in 1928, will be in a public domain work in 2024 or afterward (depending on the date of the product).

Firefox Need to get rid of "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/utbtdl/need_to_get_rid_of_importenterpriseroots
The two ways to lock a preference are:
(1) Enterprise Policy -- check about:policies
This can be done by dropping a file: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-policiesjson
(2) Autoconfig
This is done by dropping two files: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/customizing-firefox-using-autoconfig
What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one
From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3
3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.
VLC
Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

Search new Facebook
Finally! how to search your old Facebook posts in the terrible new Facebook.
https://www.socmedsean.com/quick-tip-searching-your-facebook-timeline-for-a-specific-post/
The key to searching in Facebook is understanding the syntax. In the search above, there are basically three components:
Posts – Tells Facebook that we’re searching for post content like status updates, not images or videos.
By me – Tells Facebook that I only want to see the posts that I authored.
With Haiku – Tells Facebook to find only those posts that have the word Haiku in them.

Sexpionage - visiting the FSB in Kazan
- RE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexpionage#Soviet_and_Russian_sexpionage (I wrote the majority of this article)
On March 10, 2020 I visited the Kazan FSB. This was the only trip I had ever taken out of Moscow in ~3.5 years.
My hobbies and bucket list involves several former unique places, including KGB sites such as the KGB Spy town. On 6-10 of March I visited Kazan to find the Kazan Tatarstan Sexpionage School. The inspiration for the movie of Red Sparrow, former CIA agent Jason Matthews, said that this school was there. This author helped me over Facebook.
I visited the Mormon church on my first day in Kazan, ask about the sex spy school, found some leads and hired an investigator named Andri +7-986-710-88-12 who worked with one of my translators, Anna over the phone.
- FSB Kazan
On Tuesday (Monday was a holiday) , I was at a dead end. I had met many people who said they had family members and friends who were KGB, and I had to go back home the next morning. The historical archives that Andri and I visited initially said to go to the FSB to request the documents. So I went with Andri to the FSB. The guard said we had to write a request, so I had my translator write up a request, which Andri wrote. We returned to the FSB. We were met with a middle aged woman who said she would look into it. And I would receive a response in 1 month.
I knew this was a dead end. I never received a response.

Sources for what was discussed on the show
The United States is the most violent country internationally today
America spends more money, sells more weapons, and had more military bases then any country in the world.
Statics today
- In 45 countries the U.S. military bases prop up undemocratic regimes.[2]
- The U.S. is by far the largest military spender in the world, accounting for 36% of the total, spending almost as much as the next eight countries combined.[3]
- The United States has an estimated 800 bases in 70 countries around the world.[4]
- The United States is the biggest weapons seller in the world. The Saudi Arabian dictatorship is America's number one customer.[5]
- Globally, more people see U.S. power as a major threat. Across 30 nations surveyed by Pew Research Center both in 2013 and in 2017, a median of 38% now say U.S. power and influence poses a major threat to their country[6]
- American police killed 260 blacks of 1,098 people in total in 2019. By contrast, Americans have conservatively killed over 100,000 minorities overseas in 2019. Where is the outrage about the 100,000 people?[7]
Historically
- The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government. I cannot be silent. - Martin Luther King.[8]
- Conservative estimates is that the United States has killed 6 million people since the end of World War II. The same number of Jews that Hitler killed in the Holocaust.[9]
- America Has Been At War 93% of the Time – 222 Out of 239 Years – Since 1776“, i.e. the U.S. has only been at peace for less than 20 years total since its birth.[10]
- Since the end of World War 2, the United States has:
- Attempted to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments, most of which were democratically-elected.
- Dropped bombs on the people of more than 30 countries.
- Attempted to assassinate more than 50 foreign leaders.
- Attempted to suppress a populist or nationalist movement in 20 countries.
- Grossly interfered in democratic elections in at least 30 countries.
- Led the world in torture; not only the torture performed directly by Americans upon foreigners, but providing torture equipment, torture manuals, lists of people to be tortured, and in-person guidance by American teachers, especially in Latin America. For example, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Army_and_CIA_interrogation_manuals. [11]
- For its entire history, America has supported brutal dictatorships and overthrown democratically elected governments to install dictators. After the Indian Wars in the 1800s America overthrew the Spanish Empire. It began to invade Central and South American countries in the late 1800s.
- The author of "War is a Racket" Smedly Butler joined the Marines in 1898 at the age of 17 in order to fight in the Spanish-American War, and he rose through the ranks while participating in virtually every American military intervention between 1898 until his retirement in 1931 as the senior ranking officer of the Marine Corps. He was also the most decorated Marine ever at the time of his death, including two Medals of Honor.[12][13]
Guatemala syphilis experiments lawsuit with the Department of Health and Human Services
In March 2011, seven plaintiffs filed a federal class action lawsuit against the U.S. government claiming damages for the Guatemala experiments. This case argued that the United States was at fault due to not asking for consent. This lawsuit asked for money to compensate for medical damages and livelihood because most of the families were living in poverty. The case failed when a judge determined that the U.S. government could not be held liable for actions committed outside of the U.S.[14]
Other experiments on Americans
- I mentioned the Tuskegee syphilis experiment. It was a clinical study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the United States Public Health Service. The purpose of this study was to observe the natural history of untreated syphilis; the African-American men in the study were only told they were receiving free health care from the Federal government of the United States.I incorrectly stated that Obama apologized. On May 16, 1997, President Bill Clinton formally apologized on behalf of the United States to victims of the study.[15]
- Other experiments on Americans, include:
- Operation Midnight Climax. 1954-1966 Prostitutes on the CIA payroll were instructed to lure clients back to the safehouses, where they were surreptitiously plied with a wide range of substances, including LSD, and monitored behind one-way glass.[16]
- Operation Sea-Spray - 1950 in in which biological weapon bacteria were sprayed over the San Francisco Bay Area in California.[17]
- Etc.[18]
The current Yemen Proxy War
- More articles on this subject: Peace:Yemen
Definition of Proxy war
- Throughout the world, on any given day, a man, woman or child is likely to be displaced, tortured, killed or "disappeared", at the hands of governments or armed political groups. More often than not, the United States shares the blame. — Amnesty International. 1996.
A proxy war is an armed conflict between two states or non-state actors which act on the instigation or on behalf of other parties that are not directly involved in the hostilities.[19]
- Afghanistan USSR War was a proxy war for the United States.
- The CIA backed the Afghanistan terrorists for years before the invasion. See Afghanistan War.
- The CIA provided weapons and intelligence to the mujaheddin (jihadists) rebels fighting Soviet invasion in what was called "Operation Cyclone"
- Many authors suggest that Osama Bin Laden was created during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, in what is called "BlowBack" (described below). "During the anti-Soviet war Bin Laden and his fighters received American and Saudi funding. Some analysts believe Bin Laden himself had security training from the CIA." [20]
- In a book written by a member of President Carter's cabinet, the cabinet member excited explains how he pulled the Soviet Union into the war. (Finding source)
Yemen Proxy War
- The current Yemen War is a proxy war waged by the Saudi Arabia and funded by America.
- Saudi Warplanes, Most Made in America, Still Bomb Civilians in Yemen[21]
- Why Bombs Made in America Have Been Killing Civilians in Yemen. President Trump sees arms deals as jobs generators for firms like Raytheon, which has made billions in sales to the Saudi coalition. The Obama administration initially backed the Saudis too.[22]
- Saudi Arabia, a brutal dictatorship, buys more weapons from the United States then another other country.[5]
- All of the pilots in the Yemen War were trained by the United States to fly American airplanes. America is:
- Saudi and allied warplanes have conducted more than 20,000 airstrikes on Yemen since the war began, an average of 12 attacks a day.
- Only about a third of these attacks are on military targets. The coalition has also bombed hospitals, schools, markets, mosques, farms, factories, bridges, and power and water treatment plants.[26]
- Congress passed a bipartisan resolution withdrawing American support for the war, which was blocked by President Trump, who used his first veto in April, 2019.[21]
Result of Yemen Proxy War
- In June 2019, an independent monitoring group, the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, released a report detailing more than 90,000 fatalities since the war began in 2015.[26]
- An outbreak of cholera began in Yemen in October 2016 and is ongoing as of April 2019. As of October 2018, there have been more than 1.2 million cases reported, and more than 2,500 people—58% children—have died in the Yemen cholera outbreak, which the United Nations deemed the worst humanitarian crisis in the world at that time.[27]
- Saudi Arabia intentionally targeted utilities in Yemen. "Airstrikes damaged hospital infrastructure, and water supply and sanitation in Yemen were affected by the ongoing conflict." "This deadly cholera outbreak is the direct consequence of two years of heavy conflict. Collapsing health, water and sanitation systems have cut off 14.5 million people from regular access to clean water and sanitation."[28][26]
- Targeting water and hospitals is similar to what the United States did during the Iraq War. The United Nations estimate that 16 million of the 29 million people in Yemen lack access to safe water and basic sanitation.[29]
- Saudi Arabia intentionally targeted utilities in Yemen. "Airstrikes damaged hospital infrastructure, and water supply and sanitation in Yemen were affected by the ongoing conflict." "This deadly cholera outbreak is the direct consequence of two years of heavy conflict. Collapsing health, water and sanitation systems have cut off 14.5 million people from regular access to clean water and sanitation."[28][26]
- 85,000 Children in Yemen May Have Died of Starvation.[30]
Collective Guilt
- See Collective Guilt
Congressional Industrial Military Complex
The Industrial Military Complex is an informal alliance between a nation's military and the defense industry that supplies it, which influences public policy
The term was coined in the farewell address of President Dwight D. Eisenhower on January 17, 1961, who stated, "we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military–industrial complex."
In one draft of the speech, the phrase was "military–industrial–congressional complex", indicating the essential role that the United States Congress plays in the propagation of the military industry, but the word "congressional" was dropped from the final version to appease the then-currently elected officials.[31]
Iraq War Casualties
I stated that conservatively the United States has killed a half million people.[32]
A vast majority of products are made by oil
Over 6,000 items are made from petroleum waste by-products, including: fertilizer, flooring (floor covering), perfume, insecticide, petroleum jelly, soap and vitamins.[33]
Products made from petroleum, lists 144 of 6000 items [34]
Occam's Razor
Occam's Razor is a line of reasoning that says the simplest answer is often correct.
i described how I use Occam's Razor to explain what happens to me in Moscow. But occasionally Occam's Razor cannot explain some of the experiences that I have had.
I am 90% certain that I have been propositioned by two stunningly gorgeous honeypots on at least two occasions, and a low level prostitute in my old apartment for a third (Occam’s razor says that I am being foolish – but this is one case where I am almost positive). The Washington Post reported in 1987 that "Most westerners who have spent any length of time in Moscow have their favorite tale of an attempted seduction by a KGB swallow or raven." Now prostitutes’ are hired by the state and those who want "kompromat"[35]

Gary Webb - the CIA covered up Contra drug trafficking
- When you mentioned the heroin poppy seeds in Afghanistan, I mentioned Gary Webb in passing.
- Webb is best known for his "Dark Alliance" series, which appeared in The Mercury News in 1996. The series examined the origins of the crack cocaine trade in Los Angeles and claimed that members of the anti-communist Contra rebels in Nicaragua had played a major role in creating the trade, using cocaine profits to support their struggle. It also suggested that the Contras may have acted with the knowledge and protection of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Later journalists found that Webb's reporting showed that "The CIA conducted an internal investigation that acknowledged in March 1998 that the agency had covered up Contra drug trafficking for more than a decade."
- Webb committed suicide in 2004 with two gunshot wounds to the head.
Howard Zinn
- As one of Zinn's book titles states: "You Can't Be Neutral On a Moving Train"
Howard Zinn is an author best known for the book, "A People's History of the United States".
|
In World War 2, a passing conversation with an warplane gunner changed Howard Zinn's life forever. Zinn argued that America was not imperialist and went away troubled with what this stranger said. Two weeks later this warplane gunner was shot down and killed. Decades later Zinn became an anti-war activist and author of the seminal "A People's History of the United States" This bombardier never truly knew the last legacy of love and peace he created in this world. Just and Unjust War excerpt: [Zinn] flew the last bombing missions of the war, got my Air Medal and my battle stars. I was quietly proud of my participation in the great war to defeat fascism. But when I packed up my things at the end of the war and put my old navigation logs and snapshots and other mementos in a folder, I marked that folder, almost without thinking, "Never Again." I'm still not sure why I did that, because it was not until years later that I began consciously to question the motives, the conduct, and the consequences of that crusade against fascism. The point was not that my abhorrence of fascism was in any way diminished. I still believed something had to be done to stop fascism. But that clear certainty of moral rightness that propelled me into the Air Force as an enthusiastic bombardier was now clouded over by many thoughts. Perhaps my conversations with that gunner on the other crew, the one who loaned me The Yogi and the Commisar, gave me the first flickers of doubt. He spoke of the war as "an imperialist war," fought on both sides for national power. Britain and the United States opposed fascism only because it threatened their own control over resources and people. Yes, Hitler was a maniacal dictator and invader of other countries. But what of the British Empire and its long history of wars against native peoples to subdue them for the profit and glory of the empire? And the Soviet Union--was it not also a brutal dictatorship, concerned not with the working classes of the world but with its own national power? I was puzzled. "Why," I asked my friend, "are you flying missions, risking your life, in a war you don't believe in?" His answer astonished me. "I'm here to speak to people like you." I found out later he was a member of the Socialist Workers party; they opposed the war but believed that instead of evading military service they should enter it and propagandize against the war every moment they could. I couldn't understand this, but I was impressed by it. Two weeks after that conversation with him, he was killed on a mission over Germany.[36] |

perfect is the enemy of good
What does "perfect is the enemy of good" mean?
Since you can never achieve perfection, if you wait to be perfect before you do anything, nothing will ever get done.
The Pareto principle or 80–20 rule explains this numerically. For example, it commonly takes 20% of the full time to complete 80% of a task while to complete the last 20% of a task takes 80% of the effort.
Peace Corps only taught 3 months of language training
Lee Harvey Oswald, who later killed President John F. Kennedy, lived in Belarus for 3 years. He only had one month of language training before it was mysteriously ended:
- Oswald's tutoring began soon after Oswald arrived at the Experimental Department...Libezin was unconcerned: most important, he said, was that Oswald acquire some basic facility in the language...[they] met for one month, and then it was decided that the American now spoke Russian. Shushkevich told me he did not know who had made this decision...Shushkevich suspected it had come from someone higher up who did not work at the factory, and he said he had no idea how that person had determined that Oswald had made any progress—there were no tests, and he never filed any reports with Libezin or anyone else—but he wasn’t sure that was important. All he knew for sure was that one day, unexpectedly, his social work came to an end.
The United States Peace Corps Ukraine offered 3 months of language training for volunteers.

American Civil Religion
- American civil religion is a term coined by sociologist Robert Bellah in 1967. According to Bellah, Americans embrace a common "civil religion" with certain fundamental beliefs, values, holidays, and rituals, parallel to, or independent of, their chosen religion.[39]
Blowback
The 9/11 attacks were Blowback for American's actions in the Middle East.
Definition: “Blowback” is a CIA term first used in March 1954 in a recently declassified report on the 1953 operation to overthrow the government of Mohammed Mossadegh in Iran. It is a metaphor for the unintended consequences of the US government’s international activities that have been kept secret from the American people. The CIA’s fears that there might ultimately be some blowback from its egregious interference in the affairs of Iran were well founded. Installing the Shah in power brought twenty-five years of tyranny and repression to the Iranian people and elicited the Ayatollah Khomeini’s revolution.[40]
The democracy that America espouses ends at its seashore
- The U.S. intervened in 81 foreign elections between 1946 and 2000. At the same time brutally overthrowing many of these same countries in coups and installing ruthless dictators.[41]
- PSYOPs - After World War II the United States and the USSR began a concerted effort to manipulate populations overseas. In declassified documents the United States is show to be willing to "propagandize, subvert, sabotage....manipulate" and lie:
|
The invention of the atomic bomb will cause a shift in the balance between ‘peaceful’ and ‘warlike’ methods of exerting international pressure. And we must expect a very marked increase in the importance of ‘peaceful’ methods. Our enemies will be even freer than [ever] to propagandize, subvert, sabotage and exert . . . pressures upon us, and we ourselves shall be more willing to bear these affronts and ourselves to indulge in such methods—in our eagerness to avoid at all costs the tragedy of open war; ‘peaceful’ techniques will become more vital in times of pre-war softening up, actual overt war, and in times of post-war manipulation.”[42][43]

The power of an idea - the influence that each of us have on others
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. -- Margaret Mead
Malcolm Gladwell discussed based on scientific studies how subtle comments can have extreme effect on people.
In my sociology course, I learned that - 1 man does something it is mocked as crazy and derided. Two or more is not.
How dissenting voices are silenced in America
"In our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either." --Mark Twain
- The Spiral of Silence
...By Sociologist Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann
👑 People who see that the dominant social attitudes contradict their own position, “fall silent”, to avoid expressing their point of view, because they are afraid to be in the minority.
👑 The more prevalent the prevailing point of view seems to them, the more they “fall silent”.
The Overton window, also known as the window of discourse, is the range of ideas tolerated in public discourse.
The best book on how dissenting voices are silenced on a macro level is Manufacturing Dissent by Noam Chomsky:
- Rather than needing direct control over the media as in dictatorships, industrial democracies control popular opinion using "filters" which prevent politically controversial ideas from reaching the public. Here are three of the five filters:
- the concentration of media ownership to a few corporations,
- the need to please advertisers and funding sources,
- the reliance on government-provided sources,
...These influences combine to prevent politically inconvenient knowledge and ideas from reaching the general public.
- Chomsky discusses Walter Lippmann author of 1922's Public Opinion. Shortly after it was published, John Dewey called Lippmann’s book “the most effective indictment of democracy as currently conceived.”
American Sniper: There are 3 types of people in this world "Sheep, Wolves and Sheep Dogs

- 'The irony is this man who is portrayed in the movie, Chris Kyle was an American Sniper in Iraq and later died in a bar fight
- I see myself as an aspiring "sheep dog"
- America economically benefits from misery, death and destruction for generations (Indian genocide, Slavery) ...and only generations later contritely apologies about these horrors which built the country. History will not be kind to the United States. There will someday be a reconciliation of what the United States did.
The Chinese Century started in 2015
The United States is fragile.
The Chines century started in 2015. When the history of 2015 is written, China became the largest economy. In 2014, the body that conducts international "Purchasing-power parities" assessments—the World Bank’s International Comparison Program came out with new numbers. The organization predicted that China would become the world’s largest economy far sooner than anyone had expected, in 2015.[45]
In 1976 Emmanuel Todd in La chute finale: Essais sur la décomposition de la sphère Soviétique (The Final Fall: An essay on the decomposition of the Soviet sphere), predicted the collapse of the United States.[46] In 2003 he wrote After the Empire: The Breakdown of the American Order. Todd argues that America is fast losing its grip on the world stage in economic, military and ideological terms. Todd predicts the fall of the United States as the sole global superpower.[47]
Strategies to economically cripple the United States
- Here are one or two of the many many ideas that I have. I have written and mailed to Putin's inner circle a number of times about ideas such as this.
Copyright
The last day I went into the American embassy in February 2020:
38.2 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is in copyright The more copyright law is weakened abroad, the weaker America is economically and therefore militarily. Every person, organization and country has an Achilles heel. The larger the person, organization, or country, the bigger the Achilles heel. In 2016 US Presidential a Saint Petersburg troll farm company helped get Donald J. Trump get elected. The election shows that Russians are acutely cognizant of many of America's Achilles heels. In 2016 the U.S. Commerce Department released a comprehensive report entitled, “Intellectual Property and the U.S. Economy: 2016 Update,” which found that Intellectual Property intensive industries support at least 45 million U.S. jobs and contribute to more than $6 trillion dollars to, or 38.2 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).[48] |
Immigration
Inviting poor and dissatisfied Americans to Russia
- See Wikipedia: The Forsaken: An American Tragedy in Stalin’s Russia
During the height of the depression, the 1930s Russia ran advertisements for Americans to come to Russia in the New York Times and other newspapers across the USA. Tens of thousands did.[49] In the first eight months of 1931, a Soviet trade agency in New York advertised 6,000 positions in newspapers and received more than 100,000 applications. Ten thousand Americans were hired in 1931. In March 1932, The New York Times reported that immigration to the Soviet Union was 1000 a week, but increasing.
Today, Russia should actively encourage Americans to immigrate from the United States again. The government can use swallows and other FSB intelligence sources to carefully watch new American immigrants. This past few months, Russia already has enacted new laws which involve radical reforms in the immigration system, allowing existing and new immigrants to become Russian citizens.
As an American,if you feel the same way about the United States, or you feel like people don’t see your value, Moscow beckons.
A Russian Dome City for Americans fleeing social rest and economic stagnation
As the United States continues to rapidly decline a "Dome City" should be created from the straight across from Alaska.
In the book "The Interloper" Lee Harvey Oswald was under constant surveillance be the KGB under the "dome".

Potential employment opportunities
Active measures Against the United States
The KGB spent billions of dollars actively trying to subvert the United States domestically and abroad. This KGB playbook is being used again today by the SVR and FSB.
Its most successful campaign was the fabrication of the story that AIDS virus was manufactured by US scientists at Fort Detrick, called Operation INFEKTION.
Working as an "Internet Troll" in Saint Petersburg
The trolls in this facility were clearly not native speakers, which made them easy to detect. |
Kim Philby - creating fabricated documents
Former British intelligence officer Kim Philby found work in the early 1970s in the KGB's Active Measures Department churning out fabricated documents. Working from genuine unclassified and public CIA or U.S. State Department documents, Philby inserted “sinister” paragraphs regarding U.S. plans. The KGB would stamp the documents “top secret” and begin their circulation. For the Soviets, Philby was an invaluable asset, ensuring the correct use of idiomatic and diplomatic English phrases in their disinformation efforts.[50]
Steal this Book
Steal this Book is a book written by Abbie Hoffman in 1970. It explains how to fight the government through illegal activities. I have strongly considered updating the book with only legal activities to subvert the federal government. |

Meet Your New Pet, A Domesticated Fox
Thanks to Russian scientists, a new breed of fox is available. And it’s pretty darn cute.
Dogs have been evolving as human companions for at least about 14,000 years. Cats have lived with us for 12,000. But if you want something a little more cutting edge–and you’re willing to pay up– a pet fox might be just the thing.
Domestication started just 55 years ago, but because Russian geneticists methodically bred just the friendliest foxes, a handful of charming, domesticated and trainable foxes are available today.
While foxes are the most common carnivore in the wild, this new pseudo-breed is one of the rarest domesticated animals in the world, with only a hundred or so in existence, all of them bred from animals in Russia. Importing a fox currently costs about $9,000.
But the money isn’t going to a kind of fox puppy mill: That hefty sum supports science and rescues the sweet animal (which looks like a cross between a wolf and the fluffy Shiba Inu but only weighs about 10-20 pounds.)
Mitch Kalmanson, a Florida exotic pet owner and insurance agent with all the right, obscure licenses, has exported 10 foxes, keeping three for himself. Russians buy domestic both domestic foxes and mink from the lab. “When these puppies are lying there with their eyes still closed, they’ll whimper for you.” Kalmanson says. “The wild ones will hiss and really snarl at you.”
In dark corners of America, people have been capturing, breeding, and raising foxes for years, but these are almost not the same species as the Russian foxes. “People who buy them at a flea market are basically getting a farm animal. They’re cute and cuddly at first, but after a year, they turn nasty,” Kalmanson says. In contrast, Mitch Kalmanson's pet foxes curl around his feet, eat a diet halfway between that of cats and dogs, and enjoy treats of marshmallows.
The whole project to domesticate silver and red foxes started in 1959 on a scientific outpost Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Novosibirsk near Kazakhstan where geneticist Dmitry Belyaev wanted to see how quickly humans could tame a species by selective breeding on behavior alone. In what became one of the most famous biological experiments of the 20th century, Belyaev showed the world showed that domestication–and by extension, evolution–could work faster than anyone imagined.
Belyaev started with a population of fur farm foxes and chose the friendliest 10%–the 130 animals that were rated the least likely to attack or run from people. Within four generations, some foxes were wagging tails. By generation six, 1.8% were deemed the “elite of domestication”; they eagerly sought human friends. By generation 10, it was 18% and by 20 it was double that. It took only about 35 years to completely domesticate the species.
Curiously, the "friendly" gene came attached to some other physical genes that made the foxes look like other domestic animals: curly tails, white faces, droopy ears and unlike their ancestors they come in different lighter colors. Even their genes have changed and they are truly domesticated. The Siberian pet fox is a larger fox and can weigh around 20 pounds and is almost two feet tall at the shoulder when they are standing on all four legs. A big drawback it they are not potty trained.
American National Geographic magazine did a special report on the lab which brought the lab great exposure to America and started the demand for domesticated pet foxes in the United States.
Want a pet fox? The fox is still reportedly available if purchased directly through the Russian lab (the Laboratory of Evolutionary Genetics of Animals). The lab sells their foxes as pets (and fur since many places deem it illegal to own a pet fox) to fund the project. Check for contact information on their website if you are interested in purchasing one. If you are living outside of Russia, you will need to work with a licensed exotic animal importer, which can be hard to find. In the United States, local and state laws need to be thoroughly checked before you contact the lab as owning a domestic fox is illegal in most states and jurisdictions in the U.S.
To add
Perhaps most surprising of all, the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Novosibirsk, Russia, is still breeding and improving the animal. After around 50,000 foxes, they are now releasing them to the public. Several years ago they turned to the international public as an alternative source of funding. They only take the most friendly to breed the next generation. The rest (besides those in the evil twin version of this experiment, in which biologists picked the ones that treat humans the worst) may be sent back to the fur farm next door–or just for more breeding experiments. Kalmanson says that about 15 to 25 foxes are available each year.
He pays the lab $3,200 for each fox. Shipping the fox in a custom-designed crate is $1,700. He also pays for all the vaccines and neutering (so you don’t run your own domestic fox experiments at home). The foxes arriving now in the United States are even more pet-like than those just a few years ago, Kalmanson says. The experiment protocol calls for only “time dosed” interactions with humans to select animals to breed on traits that are innate, not trained. That’s the big distinction between individual “tame” wild animals and a species selectively bred–domesticated–to live with people. When those foxes that only had brief human interactions came to the U.S., they lived in outdoor, digging-proof pens.
Kalmanson asked that the ones destined to be pets be given longer interactions with people. He supplied harnesses for long walks. Some Russian graduate students have adopted them as pets. Now when the foxes arrive here, they are treated much like a dog, even going on trips to stores.
But even if you can buy a domesticated fox, should you? Kalmanson’s business is controversial. He keeps pet tigers and insures other exotic pet owners (including someone privately holding a gorilla and Bubbles, the chimp best known as the former BFF of Michael Jackson). But even he says these foxes are a world apart from the ones sold around the United States by backyard breeders for $400 to $600. Many of these animals have the same telltale white faces as those bred for domestication. But, the Russian experiment proves, Kalmanson says, that what it takes to truly domesticate an animal is thousands of years. Or when you can’t wait that long, thousands of animals and a massive breeding program.

Intelligence agencies of Russia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_agencies_of_Russia
- Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), an agency concerned with collection of intelligence outside the Commonwealth of Independent States, reports directly to the president of Russia.
- Main Intelligence Directorate (G.U.), previously known as GRU, since 2010 officially the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces (GU), an intelligence service of the Russian Armed Forces.
- Federal Security Service (FSB), an agency responsible for counter-intelligence and other aspects of state security as well as intelligence-gathering in some countries, primarily those of the CIS; reports directly to the president of Russia.
Clothing of the FSB
https://geek-tips.github.io/articles/8133133253970044/index.html Now unable to access - (no surprise)
- The uniform of employees of the FSB of Russia - features, history and reviews
Not so long ago, a new uniform of FSB officers was introduced. The final decision was made in 2007. At the same time, a new and unusual for the country color was introduced, the uniform of the FSB officers of Russia - blue-black. A cap of the same color was attached to the clothes.
- Reaction
After this reform, many questions arose in society - what does this dark color of clothes mean for security officers? Someone compared the new uniform of the FSB officers with the attire of the guardsmen and monks. The uniforms of Stirlitz were also remembered. An interesting fact is that the new form of the Federal Security Service, in some imagination, echoed the description of the heroes of the Strugatsky brothers, the cavalry of the Holy Order.
- 2 types
Someone said that this is an exotic way for the president to allocate employees for the fact that Shamil Basayev was liquidated. However, then this version receded into the background. The fact is that services have ceased to mention Basayev’s liquidation everywhere as an achievement.
The initiators of the introduction of the uniform of the FSB officers of a new sample were silent about the reasons for this phenomenon, and this decision was discussed by people's psychologists. There was a version that black throughout the entire time of the existence of mankind symbolized sacredness. In addition, it provokes a sense of anxiety and anticipation of the unknown. This is an authoritarian, overwhelming connotation. It is also believed that black evokes involuntary respect.
- About the initiative
The initiative to introduce a new form of the FSB of the Russian Federation came from the state security services themselves. They supported the presidential decree. Initially, it was suggested that special service specialists wear identical army uniforms.
- Old form
The styles should have been the same. Moreover, the employees of these status bodies were military personnel. The form is not required for civilians.
The special form of FSB officers aims to emphasize the privileged position of workers. She also distinguishes them from the rest of the military.
- First demonstration
For the first time, a new blue-and-black uniform with gold was demonstrated by General FSO Zolotov. Croy resembled tunics of the Soviet samples. For the production of uniforms of FSB officers, intended for the highest ranks, they used expensive and high-quality Italian fabrics, while for ordinary officers they used domestic material.
- About requirements
Of course, before the adoption of the new uniform of the FSB officers, the special requirements that are put forward in the Russian Federation for uniforms were taken into account. So, clothes are necessarily comfortable, convenient. It is unacceptable that she squeeze or sag. We need a strict cut, a single color scheme. Moreover, in the form of FSB officers, inserts of other colors may be used. The use of suitable materials is important. So, even in full dress, FSB officers should be comfortable walking in both summer and winter cold. Rank marks must be highlighted against the general background.
The form is of two patterns - everyday and ceremonial. Usually, in the first case, restraint is more characteristic of clothing. In it, the advantage is made in favor of convenience, while the front door uses brighter colors, places for awards are provided. Such clothes look spectacular.
- About the Soviet uniform
Before the appearance of the KGB in the country, the NKVD operated. The uniform of the NKVD was developed by the most eminent masters. It was important to do this qualitatively, so that you could immediately distinguish to which department the person belongs.
Later, after the creation of the KGB, special services officers wore ordinary army clothes. But they stood out with special cornflower-blue inserts. Thanks to this, they could be distinguished among the rest of the army.
- Old traditions
But in addition to this, the main fire department, in the departments of forced labor camps, and in economic units had the same cornflower-blue inserts on green uniforms. Only the insertion points were different. It was not difficult for an experienced soldier to quickly identify a person’s membership in a particular service.
However, in 1994, Yeltsin introduced a decree according to which the official attire of these categories of persons changed.
Military overcoats replaced the coat, and the tunic became blazers. They dressed the whole army in clothes of olive shades. The most important innovation was the stripes, chevrons, which allowed to refer a person to a particular class of troops.
- About the latest changes
At this, official decrees affecting the appearance of employees did not stop being issued. So, in 2010, the President of the Russian Federation signed a decree approving the uniform of employees of the Federal Security Service of Russia of a new type. For some time before the decree, they wore the form of olive flowers. But then she became cornflower blue.
It is noteworthy that before the revolution in Russia there were units with the same form. They were entrusted with functions related to countering terrorism and intelligence. For this reason, the higher officials decided to "return to the roots."
- Who sews
The specialist who supplies specialized clothing is the Voenform-design sewing association. It is she who is engaged in the design development of new workwear.
The main task of the association is to provide Russian state structures with new modern models of clothing that would not be inferior in quality to the latest developments of Western colleagues, who are “trendsetters” in this area.
- More FSB
Often, clothing produced by the association is exhibited at expositions of international events. There are separate agreements with foreign colleagues for the development of unique latest fabrics that would bring products to a whole new level.
So, for example, the association cooperated with some companies from Finland. Then began to apply the technology of clothing "dry type".
- About seasonal clothing
Russian troops, including employees of the Federal Security Service of Russia, need seasonal clothing. Therefore, in the manufacture of clothes of a new sample, the climatic characteristics of the country must be taken into account.
Thus, employees of the FSB can work both in the middle lane and in extremely cold regions of the country. In addition, they are present in the hottest regions of the country, in deserts, semi-deserts. For this reason, the form is presented in several variations.
For example, there are special border suits for the Arctic regions. They can serve in any changes in the harsh polar climate.
The most difficult in this regard is the service of the Coast Guard of the FSB of the Russian Federation. Their clothes have many additional properties designed to protect people. In addition, clothing provides for the possibility of an employee getting overboard. It is characterized by increased buoyancy precisely for this case.
If we are talking about border guards at checkpoints, the most important thing for them is the correctness of documentation. However, they should have a neat appearance. Also, due to the fact that they are entrusted with the function of conducting searches, their service requires increased physical exertion. Sometimes there is a need to view aircraft landing gear, side skins, car bumpers. Therefore, clothes of this type are practical.
The main element in clothing designed for northern areas is an electrically heated vest. Its most important function is heating the employee, improving his well-being, relieving fatigue, stress. In just a couple of minutes, the human body begins to very actively absorb the heat caused by the vest. The speed of recovery processes increases. It is important to note that the conclusions of the FS indicate that such radiation is completely safe for the human body. But you need to know that the vest has its own charge level. The degree of heating is displayed on a special indicator. The weight of the heating kit is not more than 350 grams.
- Border Guards in the Arctic
It can work for 6-24 hours, taking into account the degree of heating. In addition, special heating insoles were invented. They are also equipped with heating elements, and the battery from them is not attached to the shoe, since it is located directly in the insoles. Using a special remote control, the insoles are turned off or on. You can separately adjust their temperature. The duration of the insoles will also depend on how much heat is generated by them. With the minimum settings, they will work for 8-10 hours, if the heating level is average, they will last 6-8 hours, and at the maximum value they will work for 4-5 hours.
- About fabrics
For the FSB, as well as for the rest of the Russian military, a special type of fabric is used that meets the basic requirements of law enforcement agencies. So, they weigh a little, and wear them comfortably. In addition, fabrics for clothing of a specialized type are selected taking into account the specifics of the activities of employees of the units. It should be noted that development never stands still, and new fabrics that will be more optimal are constantly being developed. It is quite natural to expect further changes in the uniform of employees of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation.
- Reviews
First of all, the new uniforms were tested by cadets. Then the new form of the FSB of Russia was issued to the lower ranks, junior officers. Many pointed to poor-quality tailoring of the first samples. A considerable number of FSB officers noted that they had to file the uniform on their own.
- In a new form
However, as far as official polls are concerned, servicemen said that for 97% of the employees, the insulated suits of the coast guard provide excellent protection from the cold. Many note the excellent ventilation of overalls of special units, the latest sets of all-weather clothes for the border service of the FSB of Russia.

By Josh Rogin June 27, 2016
Russian intelligence and security services have been waging a campaign of harassment and intimidation against U.S. diplomats, embassy staff and their families in Moscow and several other European capitals that has rattled ambassadors and prompted Secretary of State John F. Kerry to ask Vladimir Putin to put a stop to it.
At a recent meeting of U.S. ambassadors from Russia and Europe in Washington, U.S. ambassadors to several European countries complained that Russian intelligence officials were constantly perpetrating acts of harassment against their diplomatic staff that ranged from the weird to the downright scary. Some of the intimidation has been routine: following diplomats or their family members, showing up at their social events uninvited or paying reporters to write negative stories about them.
But many of the recent acts of intimidation by Russian security services have crossed the line into apparent criminality. In a series of secret memos sent back to Washington, described to me by several current and former U.S. officials who have written or read them, diplomats reported that Russian intruders had broken into their homes late at night, only to rearrange the furniture or turn on all the lights and televisions, and then leave. One diplomat reported that an intruder had defecated on his living room carpet.
In Moscow, where the harassment is most pervasive, diplomats reported slashed tires and regular harassment by traffic police. Former ambassador Michael McFaul was hounded by government-paid protesters, and intelligence personnel followed his children to school. The harassment is not new; in the first term of the Obama administration, Russian intelligence personnel broke into the house of the U.S. defense attache in Moscow and killed his dog, according to multiple former officials who read the intelligence reports.
During a question and answer session at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, President Vladimir Putin said Russia did not want a new Cold war with the West and did not like to think it was slipping into one. (Reuters) But since the 2014 Russian intervention in Ukraine, which prompted a wide range of U.S. sanctions against Russian officials and businesses close to Putin, harassment and surveillance of U.S. diplomatic staff in Moscow by security personnel and traffic police have increased significantly, State Department press secretary John Kirby confirmed to me.
“Since the return of Putin, Russia has been engaged in an increasingly aggressive gray war across Europe. Now it’s in retaliation for Western sanctions because of Ukraine. The widely reported harassment is another front in the gray war,” said Norm Eisen, U.S. ambassador the Czech Republic from 2011 to 2014. “They are hitting American diplomats literally where they live.”
The State Department has taken several measures in response to the increased level of nefarious activity by the Russian government. All U.S. diplomats headed for Europe now receive increased training on how to handle Russian harassment, and the European affairs bureau run by Assistant Secretary Victoria Nuland has set up regular interagency meetings on tracking and responding to the incidents.
McFaul told me he and his family were regularly followed and the Russian intelligence services wanted his family to know they were being watched. Other embassy officials also suffered routine harassment that increased significantly after the Ukraine-related sanctions. Those diplomats who were trying to report on Russian activities faced the worst of it.
“It was part of a way to put pressure on government officials who were trying to do their reporting jobs. It definitely escalated when I was there. After the invasion of Ukraine, it got much, much worse,” McFaul said. “We were feeling embattled out there in the embassy.”
There was a debate inside the Obama administration about how to respond, and ultimately President Obama made the decision not to respond with similar measures against Russian diplomats, McFaul said.
A spokesman for the Russian Embassy in Washington sent me a long statement both tacitly admitting to the harassment and defending it as a response to what he called U.S. provocations and mistreatment of Russian diplomats in the United States.
“The deterioration of U.S.-Russia relations, which was not caused by us, but rather by the current Administrations’ policy of sanctions and attempts to isolate Russian, had a negative affect on the functioning of diplomatic missions, both in U.S. and Russia,” the spokesman said. “In diplomatic practice there is always the principle of reciprocity and, indeed, for the last couple of years our diplomatic staff in the United States has been facing certain problems. The Russian side has never acted proactively to negatively affect U.S. diplomats in any way.”
Evelyn Farkas, who served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia until last year, said that there is no equivalence between whatever restrictions Russian diplomats are subjected to in the United States and the harassment and intimation that U.S. diplomats suffer at the hands of the Russian security services. The fact that the Russian government stands accused of murdering prominent diplomats and defectors in European countries adds a level of fear for Russia’s targets.
“When the Russian government singles people out for this kind of intimidation, going from intimidation to harassment to something worse is not inconceivable,” Farkas said.
Kirby told me that the State Department takes the safety and well-being of American diplomatic and consular personnel abroad and their accompanying family members extremely seriously. “We have therefore repeatedly raised our concerns about harassment of our diplomatic and consular staff with the Russians, including at the highest levels,” he said.
Kerry raised the issue directly with Putin during his visit to Moscow in March. Putin made no promises about ending the harassment, which continued after Kerry returned to Washington. The U.S. ambassadors to Europe are asking the State Department to do more.
Leading members of Congress who are involved in diplomacy with Europe see the lack of a more robust U.S. response as part of an effort by the Obama administration to project a veneer of positive U.S.-Russian relations that doesn’t really exist.
“The problem is there have been no consequences for Russia,” said Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), who serves as president of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly. “The administration continues to pursue a false narrative that Russia can be our partner. They clearly don’t want to be our partner, they’ve identified us as an adversary, and we need to prepare for that type of relationship.” Ftp

Because the only way to change American foreign policy is through elections, the only focus of an American peace organizations and individual advocates should be around the next congressional election.
If you are a peace organization
The National Rifle Association is the most powerful lobbying organization in the United States. The NRA focuses on one issue, and one issue only. They will support any candidate, no matter what the party, if that candidate supports gun rights. An effective American peace organization should focus only on American international foreign policy. This organization should embrace any viable candidate that supports peace, even if that candidate has domestic policies that members do not traditionally support.
The peace organizations should focus on only one Blue/Purple State Congressional race. Focus the entire budget of a peace organization on one congressional race in which the pro-war democrat candidate in a tight race. This will be the first step in a marketing campaign for the peace organization. An election victory that the peace organization can show to donors, volunteers, the media and most importantly, future candidates that an anti-war platform is important to the electorate and change is possible.

Does the Republican candidates for Congress (including the Tea Party) support peace more than the Democratic member?
Actively pressure your blue state democrat congressman to make a firm statement in support of peace. Meet with your congressional candidate. Tell them if they do not actively support a pro-peace campaign, you will fervently support their Republican opponent.

3rd of 4 letters to Putin's inner circle
My name is Travis Lee Bailey. Some background on who I am. I am a Washington, DC lawyer living here in Moscow for approximately the past 3 years. My career ambitions are two pronged. First, I either will work for a Russian think tank such as the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (RISS) in consulting or writing policy papers on how Russia can subvert the United States economically.
Alternatively we will create our own state-sanctioned Russian think tank to abolish copyright in Russia among other activities.
According to Russian academics you are influential with President Vladimir Putin. Therefore, the reason I am writing you is that I want to make a policy suggestion. I propose that the Russian Federation abolishes copyright. The more copyright law is weakened abroad, the weaker America is economically and therefore militarily.
In 2016 the U.S. Commerce Department released a comprehensive report entitled, “Intellectual Property and the U.S. Economy: 2016 Update,” which found that Intellectual Property intensive industries support at least 45 million U.S. jobs and contribute to more than $6 trillion dollars (38 percent) of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). This study points to the fact that Russia can cripple the United States by abolishing copyright.
On Saturday, January 11, 2020, I was blessed to meet the founder of SciHub, Russian citizen Alexandra Elbakyan. Ms. Elbakyan has created an illegal pirated database of all of the research papers ever written. It is estimated that 80% of all of the world's research papers are on the SciHub webpage. This database has not only revolutionized science by freeing the monopoly of information that the United States holds, it has crippled the American's academic industry. SciHub can be expanded.
The Russian Federation has earmarked 2 billion rubles to the Большая Российская энциклопедия (https://greatbook.ru/publishers/contacts.html) to create Russia's own Wikipedia. Without copyright, this Wikipedia could be the modern day Library of Alexandria, catapulting Russian science and prestige on the world stage. I strongly suggest that you consult with Ms. Elbakyan on this project. I would also be happy to assist in any way possible.
In this time of radical change in the government this month, I wish you and your staff only my best wishes.
Sincerely,
Travis Lee Bailey, Esq.

What is the GRU? Who gets recruited to be a spy? Why are they exposed so often? Here are the most important things you should know about Russia’s intelligence community
3:09 pm, November 6, 2018Source: Meduza
President Vladimir Putin and Defense Minister Sergey Ivanov visit the GRU’s headquarters, November 8, 2006
Dmitry Astakhov / TASS
Both at home and abroad, the Russian abbreviation of the year has been “GRU” — the erstwhile but still commonly used initialism for the country’s Military Intelligence Directorate. The agency’s staff now stand accused of hacking the Democratic National Committee computer network and trying to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election; hacking various anti-doping agencies and the International Court of Arbitration; and trying to hack the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in the Netherlands. Additionally, in what has led to a new wave of Western sanctions against Russia, GRU agents are also accused of poisoning Sergey Skripal (a former GRU colonel who spied for the British) in Salisbury, England. “Alexander Petrov” and “Ruslan Boshirov” — the two individuals identified by London police who came to Salisbury to try to kill Skripal — are apparently cover names for the GRU agents Alexander Mishkin and Anatoly Chepiga. To add some context to this explosion of publicity, Meduza special correspondent Daniil Turovsky reviews the past and present of Russia’s intelligence community.
What is the GRU? What does the initialism stand for?
Subordinate to the Defense Ministry, the GRU is Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate, and technically speaking it doesn’t exist.
In 2010, following major reforms to the army, Russia’s military intelligence agency was renamed “the Main Office of the General Staff of the Defense Ministry.” This change, however, hasn’t stopped anyone from referring to the organization or its members as “the GRU” — an initialism that’s now used constantly by journalists and in official documents, including indictments by the U.S. government and announcements by the Dutch authorities.
Some agency veterans complained about the reforms, saying, “[Former Defense Minister Anatoly] Serdyukov cut more than just a letter [from the agency’s initialism]. The best brigades in the GRU Spetsnaz fell under the knife of reforms.” In November 2010, officers celebrated Military Intelligence Day at the Crocus City concert hall outside Moscow, raising toasts to the “cherished memory of the GRU.”
Many GRU officers lost their jobs in the reforms, and some research institutes that worked with the agency closed shop. The Defense Ministry’s Military Academy (the same one where Anatoly Chepiga studied) fired many of its instructors. As a result of the cutbacks, Russia’s human intelligence in foreign states suffered a major setback. In 2011, The New Times found laid off GRU staff working as truckers and furniture assemblers.
What’s the difference between the GRU and Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR)? What separates the GRU and SVR seems to be perceptible only to those inside the two agencies. In 2006, one SVR Lieutenant General explained that the SVR collects “political” intelligence, while the GRU collects “military” intelligence. The structure and activities of both agencies are classified as state secrets.
The defector Sergey Tretyakov revealed more than anyone about the SVR’s methods and training in a collection of interviews, published in 2008 as a book titled “Comrade J.: The Untold Secrets of Russia's Master Spy in America After the End of the Cold War,” written by journalist Pete Earley. The grandson and son of KGB officers, Tretyakov spent his youth reading Ian Fleming novels and dreaming of becoming a spy. In the early 1980s, KGB recruiters invited him to participate in a student-exchange program to France, where he would collect intelligence about the newly elected president, François Mitterrand. When Tretyakov returned, he was sent to the “Forest School” not far from Medvedkovo in northeast Moscow, like other young intelligence workers.
Tretyakov and his cohort were trained to work with sources (for example, they learned not to discuss collaboration with contacts until meeting at least seven times, giving them the chance to learn each source’s habits and personal problems), to use portable cameras, to invent their own “legends” (backstories) on the fly, and to plant and retrieve eavesdropping devices (they usually practiced this latter skill at Gorky Park in Moscow).
The collapse of the USSR had no effect on Tretkyakov’s intelligence work. He soon ended up in the United States, and by the mid-1990s he was in charge of the SVR station there, operating under U.N. cover. (Other agents in the U.S. were posing as reporters from the news agencies TASS and Komsomolskaya Pravda.)
In New York, Russian intelligence agents worked in the Manhattan building that housed Russia’s Permanent Mission to the UN. Ordinary diplomats used the lower five floors, while intelligence workers and cryptographers occupied the upper stories — the so-called “submarine” floors. The walls in this building were fitted with vibrating pipes that emitted white noise, and there was a total absence of telephones and Internet-connected computers. SVR agents also worked at Russia’s consulate in the Bronx, where they copied the documents of U.S. citizens who applied for Russian visas. The agency later used this information when inventing new identities for its spies in America, who were supposed to find jobs at organizations tied to the U.S. government.
On the rooftops of its consulate and U.N. Permanent Mission buildings in New York, Russia installed special antennae designed to intercept telephone calls across the entire city. Agents called this equipment “Pulse Signal.”
Tretyakov says Federal Protective Service (FSO) General Viktor Zolotov once even attacked him by surprise (as a joke), knocking him unconscious at a cafe in Brighton Beach in 2000, weeks ahead of Vladimir Putin’s visit to the United States. “They were dangerous,” Tretyakov told Pete Earley. “I didn’t see a difference between Yeltsin’s people and these unsophisticates who were the president’s closest friends.” Also present at the Brighton Beach meeting was Evgeny Murov, who headed the FSO until 2016. (Zolotov is now the director of Russia’s new National Guard.) According to Tretyakov, then FSO deputy director Alexander Lunkin claimed that Murov and Zolotov had previously discussed ways to murder Alexander Volodin, then Putin’s chief of staff, because they believed the president was “jealous” of him.
In 2000, Tretyakov asked the United States for political asylum.
How does the GRU choose and train its staff? What is the “Conservatory”? GRU officers train at the Defense Ministry’s Military Academy, at 50 Narodnoe Opolchenie Street in Moscow — not far from the region where you’ll find the GRU’s headquarters and the research institutes affiliated with Russia’s military intelligence. The academy is better known as “the Conservatory.”
Military intelligence agents — including cyber-security specialists — also train at the Cherepovets Higher Military School of Radio Electronics. (For instance, two of Anatoly Chepiga’s neighbors from the Russian State University for the Humanities dormitory on Kirovogradskaya Street, where he was registered in the early 2010s, graduated from this school.) Another training grounds for GRU agents is the Alexander Mozhaysky Military Space Academy, where Alexey Morenets (the GRU agent recently accused of carrying out hacker attacks in the Netherlands) was a student.
Computer science classes at the Cherepovets Higher Military School of Radio Electronics, December 2016 Computer science classes at the Cherepovets Higher Military School of Radio Electronics, December 2016 Russian Defense Ministry Academy instructors usually choose their new students by sending out recruiters to military units across the country, reviewing the records of young officers. They interview potential recruits at their homes and then invite the most promising candidates to Moscow for testing.
Assessments in Moscow last a week, starting each morning and ending in the late evening. Candidates endure hundreds of exams testing their knowledge of foreign languages, their attention span, memory, mental acumen, “noise immunity,” and “information stamina.” One test might ask them to repeat a phrase in an unfamiliar language, while another could show them dozens of mug shots and then ask candidates to recite each person’s name. There are also interviews with a review board, which might ask candidates about their favorite alcoholic beverages, their reasons for wanting to join Russia’s military intelligence, and even their attitudes about women.
Training lasts three years. The first year of instruction puts special emphasis on foreign languages, operating special-purpose machinery, area studies, encryption, decryption, and covert intelligence work. There are even classes in how to invent your own “legend” (backstory) and how to evade surveillance.
Each student is assigned a sector of Moscow, where he is supposed to plot routes for potential meetings with other agents, determine locations for eavesdropping devices, and detect anyone tailing him (FSB officers usually play the counterintelligence role). One of the most important assignments at the Conservatory is penetrating a high-security facility: the future spy must gain admittance legally, for example, by befriending someone who in turn gets him an entry permit.
What are GRU agents' areas of expertise? The Defense Ministry’s Military Academy has three departments.
The first department trains undercover agents who operate under diplomatic protection (they’re also called “suit jackets”). When entering the field, these officers start as advisers, secretaries to ambassadors, and representatives of Russian companies in other countries. They’re responsible for communications with undercover agents and foreign recruitment efforts.
One such “suit jacket” was Viktor Ilyushin, who was expelled from France in 2014. Officially working as an Air Force deputy attaché at Russia’s embassy in France, GRU agent Ilyushin tried to obtain “intimate information” about one of President François Hollande’s staff members.
The Conservatory’s second department trains military attachés (representatives of Russia’s armed forces serving on diplomatic missions). Eduard Shishmakov, whom Montenegran officials say tried to organize a coup in 2016, studied in this department. In 2014, he worked as a military attaché in Poland and was later expelled.
The third department, meanwhile, prepares officers who will lead special operations abroad.
GRU defectors and websites dedicated to the Russian armed forces describe the Military Intelligence Directorate’s structure as follows:
1st division: intelligence gathering in Europe 2nd division: the United States 3rd division: Asia 4th division: the Middle East and Africa 5th division: strategic reconnaissance 6th division: communications surveillance 7th division: information analysis service 8th division: subversion 12B division: information war What are GRU agents’ assignments? The website for the Main Office of the Russian Defense Ministry’s General Staff says broadly that its officers provide the country’s leadership with information meant to create conditions that are “conducive to the successful realization of Russian state policy on defense and national security,” while also contributing to the state’s development. This language is lifted directly from Russia’s federal law on foreign intelligence gathering.
According to the law, Russian intelligence agencies can work confidentially with their informants, and take measures to “conceal their personnel.” Agencies are permitted to use both public and covert methods, but not in relation to Russian citizens, not on Russian territory, and not in cases where people are harmed.
Alexander Shlyakhturov, who headed the GRU in the late 2000s, said in 2011 that the agency’s job is to “discover and analyze threats to Russia’s national interests and military security.” His predecessor, Valentin Korabelnikov, said in 2003 that the GRU also collects intelligence about research carried out by foreign states.

Additionally, separate identities can be created for agents who travel abroad to carry out special missions, which appears to be what happened with Chepiga and Mishkin.
Sometimes, undercover agents’ assignments can last decades. One GRU veteran recalled how his academy classmate was given a backstory and send to live in an Arab country for the next 24 years. He bought a kiosk in a market and opened a shoe-repair business, where he met with agents. There were often reports and dispatches hidden in the heels of the shoes brought to him.
“My father died without ever knowing that I serve in military intelligence, though I was already a general by the time he passed away,” said Sergey Lebedev, one of the GRU’s top officials, in 2005. “He was very proud that I was a diplomat. He told everyone that his son worked for the Foreign Ministry.”
Is the GRU responsible for “information war,” too? Disinformation has been one of the Military Intelligence Directorate’s main objectives since it was founded. From the beginning, KGB foreign intelligence (Department “A”) and the GRU have been responsible for Moscow’s “active measures.” The Disinformation Department grew out of the “Disinformburo,” which first appeared in 1923 with the objectives of creating false information and phony documents about domestic affairs in Russia, and “preparing the ground for the release of fake materials.”
Some of Russia’s greatest disinformation successes (described in detail in documents available at the Churchill Archives Center) include:
In 1923, the Disinformburo published revelatory articles about Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich in newspapers in Bavaria, where he was living, three years before he proclaimed himself emperor in exile. The exposés led many Russian monarchists and German sponsors to abandon him. In the 1950s, Soviet military intelligence invented reports that the U.S. was using biological weapons in Korea, supposedly dropping bombs filled with insects and rats infected with cholera and the plague. In the 1960s, military spies spread false rumors about ties between the American intelligence community and the murder of President John F. Kennedy. Soviet agencies financed the work of Mark Lane, who popularized his conspiracy theories in several books. Moscow also fabricated documents and letters linking Lee Harvey Oswald to the CIA and FBI. Between 1972 and 1973, Soviet military intelligence financed roughly 5,000 articles in Indian newspapers in support of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. In 1983, Soviet military intelligence spread rumors that Korean Air Lines Flight 007, shot down by the USSR on September 1, was a spy plane sent by the CIA. In the late 1980s, Soviet spies circulated false information that the AIDS epidemic was due to experiments at a secret military biological laboratory in the United States. Soviet military intelligence passed fabricated documents to a CIA officer, who later wrote about them in books. In the late 1980s, Soviet military intelligence promoted conspiracy theories that the 1978 Jonestown deaths were part of a CIA operation. Leonid Shebarshin, one of the top officials in the Soviet intelligence community, said in 2003 that spies are able to find reporters at any newspaper who are willing to publish a needed story for the right price or amount of booze. Shebarshin supervised the USSR’s disinformation campaign in the 1970s and 1980s, and told Kommersant that the only newspaper in which he never managed to plant a story was The Washington Post. He also claimed that the KGB’s Department A paid for the publication of articles in the Western press about “Gorbymania” and Perestroika.
In 2012, Shebarshin was found dead in his home, after he apparently shot himself. Twenty-one years earlier, the GRU’s supervisor for disinformation in the United States, Dmitry Lisovolik, died when he fell from the window of his apartment.
Since the fall of the USSR, the agencies and organizations involved in Russian military intelligence have apparently not abandoned the use of disinformation. Since 2016, American officials have accused Moscow of running a so-called “troll factory” in St. Petersburg to interfere in U.S. elections by fielding “discourse saboteurs” who operate under phony identities to promote Donald Trump and oppose Hillary Clinton. In 2016, the group allegedly organized political events in the U.S., and spread viral and promoted content on social networks. According to new research, the trolls’ efforts to sow discord in American society may have even included tweets meant to amplify the right-wing backlash to Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Admittedly, nothing is known about GRU involvement in St. Petersburg’s “troll factory,” the creation of which has been attributed to Evgeny Prigozhin, a businessman with close personal ties to Vladimir Putin.
Are the hackers from the GRU, too? The GRU is part of the Defense Ministry, and Meduza has written repeatedly about Moscow’s ongoing efforts to build up its cyber-forces (the so-called “research companies”).
In 2014, the Russian Defense Ministry created its “information-operation troops” for action in “cyber-confrontations with potential adversaries.” Later, sources in the Defense Ministry explained that these new troops were meant to “disrupt the potential adversary’s information networks.” Recruiters reportedly went looking for “hackers who have had problems with the law.” According to an instructor at a Defense Ministry center that trains the new cyber-forces, students prepare for future conflicts by “developing cyber-attack algorithms.” In recent years, cyber-attacks on government agencies in multiple countries — Estonia, Georgia, Ukraine, Turkey, and the U.S. — have coincided with escalations in tensions between Moscow and these states.
Additionally, many Russian hackers work at research institutes affiliated with the GRU.
What are these “research institutes”? How are they tied to Russian military intelligence? There are apparently dozens of GRU-connected research institutes. We know reliably about a handful:
The Defense Ministry’s 46th Central Research Institute (Military Unit 54726) is a center for military-technical information and intelligence about the military potential of foreign states. It's located at 86 Khoroshevskoye Highway and was previously subordinate to the GRU. Locals call the four-floor building “the Pentagon” — not because of its shape, but because of the secrecy that surrounds it. Staff at this institute have been characterized as “the most informed people in the GRU,” and its management is part of Russia’s Security Council. The building that neighbors this research institute houses a small company called Steadyhost, which owns the IP address for StopGeorgia.ru — a website where Russian hackers shared tips about which Georgian websites to target during the 2008 war in South Ossetia, as well as hyperlinks to the software needed to carry out these cyber-attacks. The Defense Ministry’s Center for Special Studies is based in Moscow on Svoboda Street. Meduza wrote at length about this institute in 2016. Created two years earlier, the center advertised job vacancies on employment websites aimed mainly at graduates from engineering schools. More than anything, the institute was looking for staff who could analyze exploits and find vulnerabilities in computer networks. New hires are granted confidential security clearance (which requires staff to give advance notice whenever traveling abroad) and a starting monthly salary as high as 120,000 rubles ($1,835). The Center for Special Studies employed Evgeny Serebryakov, who was expelled from the Netherlands in April 2018 for trying to hack the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). Military Unit 26165 — the “Khamovnichesky Barracks” — is located at 20 Komsomolsky Prospect. This unit is perhaps the Russian military’s biggest repository of hacker talent. Here you’ll find the GRU’s 85th Central Research Institute, where cryptographers create decryption algorithms. Several hackers suspected of cyber-attacking the U.S. and Europe have apparently worked in Unit 26165. When Wikileaks published the stolen emails of Emmanuel Macron on May 7, 2017 (a day before the French presidential election), Internet sleuths noticed almost immediately that someone named Georgy Petrovich Roshka modified nine of the published emails. Roshka turned out to be an employee at several Russian military intelligence research institutes. In a participant list for one conference where he was named as a speaker, Roshka was identified as a specialist at the GRU’s 85th Central Research Institute, located at 20 Komsomolsky Prospect. It was from this building that OPCW-attack suspect Alexey Morenets took a taxi to the airport, before boarding his plane to the Netherlands. According to U.S. intelligence, this was also a base of operations for 10 hackers and GRU officers who infiltrated the Democratic National Committee computer network. Military Unit 74455 is based at 22 Kirov Street. Officially, this is the address of the “Novator” business center, but the building’s entrance has a sign indicating that it also houses the “Center for Daily Operations Management” (which, according to representatives from the Defense Ministry’s General Staff, is what they call research institutes created “for the operational coordination of military agencies”). The U.S. Justice Department says this building was also a workplace for some of the GRU hackers who broke into the DNC in 2016. The 18th Central Research Institute works specifically with communications electronics. Nothing is known publicly about this outfit, but Internet users who “stalk” the topic on forums sometimes joke that there’s a UFO, crashed in 1959, hidden on an underground floor at 22 Kirov Street, which is also supposedly connected to Moscow’s “Metro-2” (a rumored secret subway system). “Sovinformsputnik” is a division of the GRU’s space intelligence operations. In 2000, it was reportedly the first to photograph “Area 51” in the United States. The GRU has its own Spetsnaz? Who carries out its special operations? More is known about the GRU Spetsnaz than any other division within the agency. These troops are often the focus of feature films and network television reports, and the public frequently learns about their operations.
In the early 2010s, during major reforms to the Defense Ministry, the GRU Spetsnaz was transferred to Russia’s paratroopers and army command. Today, the Spetsnaz are part of the Special Operations Forces, based outside Moscow in Kubinka-2. From 2014 to 2015, the group was under the command of Alexey Dyumin, one of Vladimir Putin’s former guards and the current governor of the Tula region.
Holding its soldiers to enormously high standards, the GRU Spetsnaz is considered one of the most elite branches of Russia’s armed forces. According to “Preparing a Spy: The GRU Spetsnaz System” (a book written by former special forces troops), spies in the GRU Spetsnaz are expected to be capable of essentially everything that James Bond does on screen: parachuting, rappelling from a helicopter, hang gliding, steering a speedboat, operating heavy machinery, flying a plane, navigation, using the weapons of a likely enemy, swimming long distances, laying mines, rock climbing, identifying on sight any firearm, military uniform, and insignia, using disguises, and moving silently on any terrain. The book says Russia’s military intelligence recruits people who exhibit above-average stamina and “passive-aggressive” personality traits. Candidates must be venturesome, value male camaraderie, and be able to tailor their behavior to any situation.
In boot camp, GRU Spetsnaz troops also undergo psychological training: for example, to prepare them for seeing a lot of blood and inflicting injuries on others, soldiers are subjected to an exercise where they have to catch a live rabbit, kill it by smashing its head against a tree, quickly behead the animal, and then drink its blood, while holding their breath.
“We’d make this scarecrow — a mannequin. We’d dress him in a U.S. Army uniform and hide some document in his shirt pocket,” recalled GRU Colonel Sergey Kozlov in his book. “Then we’d dump buckets of blood on the mannequin and smear the guts and other innards taken from a stray dog all inside the unbuttoned jacket. And the intelligence officers have to search this ‘corpse.’ Far from everyone can just dive into a bloody mess of guts, but overcoming this psychological barrier is simply necessary. No less important is preparing men to kill the enemy by any means in their training, which is another area where stray dogs can come in handy. Psychologically, it’s extremely difficult to ‘waste’ a completely innocent creature, but it will weigh on a man far worse if he’s required to murder a civilian who accidentally discovers his group behind enemy lines.”
What are some known GRU Spetsnaz missions? In their books and memoirs, veterans say the most successful operation ever by the GRU Spetsnaz was the storming of the Tajbeg Palace in Afghanistan and the assassination of President Hafizullah Amin, which began the Soviet–Afghan War. The assault successfully overthrew Amin and installed Babrak Karmal, who was loyal to the USSR. Eleven GRU officers died in the raid, along with Amin and 350 palace guards. One special forces soldier later recalled: “The guys who made it to the second floor kicked in the office doors and threw their grenades. They were already up ahead in the hallway when Amin jumped out behind them, in his Adidas underwear and T-shirt. I think he’d already been fatally wounded.”
The GRU Spetsnaz participated in both Chechen wars. In the mid-1990s, these troops were in Tajikistan under the command of Vladimir Kvachkov, training local soldiers and liberating territories occupied by terrorists. In 2008, the GRU Spetsnaz fought in the brief war against Georgia.
Since 2014, the GRU Spetsnaz has carried out missions in Ukraine. In February 2014, it seized the airport and government buildings in Crimea in a special operation directed by Vladimir Putin. “To blockade and disarm 20,000 well-armed people, we needed a certain set of personnel — not just in terms of quantity but also quality. We needed specialists who could pull this off. That’s why I gave orders and instructions to the Defense Ministry to deploy the Main Intelligence [Directorate’s] special forces to Crimea, disguised as reinforcements for our military facilities there,” the president revealed a year after Moscow’s annexation of the peninsula.
The GRU Spetsnaz later operated in southeastern Ukraine. Russian officials have never acknowledged the GRU’s role in the Donbass, but several officers have died in combat and others have been captured and interrogated. Taken prisoner in 2015 during fighting outside Luhansk, Alexander Alexandrov and Evgeny Erofeev admitted to being GRU Spetsnaz agents stationed in Tolyatti. On May 25, 2016, they were exchanged for Nadiya Savchenko.
In Syria, the GRU Spetsnaz has trained local soldiers and fought in missions against ISIS and other groups. It's also directed warplanes to targets on the ground and participated in operational logistics to eliminate terrorist leaders. The GRU Spetsnaz also helped liberate Aleppo and Palmyra.
In October 2018, journalists also learned that the GRU Spetsnaz is active in Libya, where it is training soldiers loyal to strongman General Khalifa Haftar, who controls the eastern part of the country.
Who’s in charge of the GRU? The director of Russia’s military intelligence is appointed by the president, who controls and coordinates the activities of the entire intelligence community. Additionally, the GRU's director reports to the defense minister and the chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces. (The current General Staff chief is Valery Gerasimov — the same military official whose supposed “doctrine” suggests using cyber-forces in the course of hybrid war.)

A career intelligence officer who started out in the 1980s, Korobov graduated from the “Conservatory” and went on to oversee Russia’s strategic intelligence gathering, including the management of all foreign stations. His appointment was no surprise: since the 1990s, the president has traditionally entrusted the job to lieutenants who supervised Russia’s foreign stations.
American officials added Korobov to their sanctions list in December 2016 for his “efforts to undermine democracy” by organizing hacker attacks. Nevertheless, Korobov and the directors of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) and Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) made an unprecedented trip to Washington in February 2018 to meet with members of the U.S. intelligence community to discuss the war against terrorism.
The man credited with establishing the “GRU empire” is Pyotr Ivashutin, who led the USSR’s military intelligence from the early 1960s until the late 1980s. Ivashutin was the one who conceived and started building an information-collection system that worked around the clock, warning the country’s leadership about national security threats in real time. His workday would begin at 7:05 a.m.: a car would take him to Gogolevsky Boulevard in Moscow, where the GRU was based in the early 1960s. He settled problems with defectors, traveled to Novocherkassk to administer a bloody crackdown on demonstrators in June 1962, supervised intelligence gathering in hostile territories, oversaw the seizure of the Prague airport in 1968, and managed special operations in Afghanistan. In the only interview he ever granted, Ivashutin said as GRU director he “supported revolutionary movements, transferring them large sums of money.” He died in 2002.
Where is the GRU headquarters located? What is the “Aquarium”? Since the late 1960s, the GRU has occupied an enormous complex on Khoroshevskoye Highway in Moscow.
The facility got its “aquarium” nickname from a book by defector Vladimir Rezun (who wrote under the pseudonym Viktor Suvorov). He said the word came to him because of the building’s glass exterior, and because the intelligence community is a “closed-off aquarium where everyone knows each other.”
The GRU complex is made up of prefabricated nine-story buildings and surrounded by a tall metal fence. Near the front security office, in a courtyard that’s home to spruces and poplars, there's a monument to killed military intelligence officers. In the main building’s entrance hall, there is a memorial dedicated to the heroes of Soviet and Russian intelligence work. The names listed there are the officers’ real names.
A view of the GRU headquarters on Khoroshevskoye Highway in Moscow, October 4, 2018 A view of the GRU headquarters on Khoroshevskoye Highway in Moscow, October 4, 2018 Reuters / AP / Scanpix / LETA According to Viktor Suvorov’s book (which many say is more a work of art than a documentary account), there is a crematorium inside the GRU complex that’s used to dispose of traitors. Pyotr Ivashutin once confirmed that the facility has an oven, but he said it is for burning documents.
People who saw the inside of the GRU headquarters in the late 1990s say it was in a “sorry state”: the linoleum was cracked, the furniture varnish was flaking, and the walls were peeling. The whole place was remodeled in 2002, however, after Vladimir Putin visited. When the restoration work was done, the agency’s name appeared at the building’s entrance, written in gold letters. (The sign came down a day later.)
When the new military intelligence building opened in 2006 in the same complex, Vladimir Putin was there to lead the ceremony. All the office computers in the facility are completely Russian made, and there are big screens monitoring the military situation in real time, as well as the locations of all Russian nuclear submarines and strategic bombers. The new building also sports a swimming pool, a spa, multiple saunas, tennis courts, basketball and volleyball courts, and a winter garden. GRU officers sometimes joke that they were transferred to a five-star hotel.
Are GRU agents often exposed? At least a few agents are exposed almost every year. In most cases, unmasked staff at legal stations (those serving in embassies or working as corporate overseas representatives) are deported immediately rather than arrested, particularly when they enjoy diplomatic status. But there are exceptions: in 1978, two Soviet intelligence operatives working under U.N. cover were caught making a dead drop of documents about the U.S. Navy. Both spies were tried and sentenced to 50 years in prison, but a year later they were traded for five dissidents imprisoned in the USSR. When they returned home, the two officers were granted the “Honorary State Security Officer” award.
In recent years, GRU agents have been discovered in the United States (in 1999, the FBI charged Stanislav Gusev, the second secretary of Russia’s embassy in D.C., with sitting in his car outside the State Department and eavesdropping on conversations inside the building), Japan (2000), Bulgaria (2001), Germany (2004 and 2005), Qatar (2004), Azerbaijan (2006), Austria (2007), Poland (2010 and 2018), Georgia (2011), and Ukraine (2014).
On July 15, 2014, an article titled “War in Putin’s Spy Triade” appeared on the website Warfiles.ru, arguing that the FSB wants “to return to the status of the all-powerful KGB” and take over Russia’s other intelligence agencies. The text concluded with a list of 79 names — all supposedly active GRU agents operating undercover in the U.S., Europe, and South America. It turned out that some of the people on the list were working as Aeroflot corporate representatives in the Netherlands and others were serving as advisers at Russia’s embassy in Moldova.
According to investigative journalist Sergey Kanev, the FSB’s Information Security Center was ordered to find those responsible for leaking the names of the undercover GRU agents. The center’s director at the time, Sergey Mikhailov, was put in charge of the search, and the FSB sent out warnings to site registrars, explaining that the personnel list is a state secret. (In December 2016, Mikhailov was arrested himself and charged with treason, possibly for allegedly supplying the United States with intelligence about Russian hackers.) Nothing more is known about what happened to the people whose names were leaked. At least one person on the list — an Aeroflot employee who used to comment frequently on news about the company in the U.S. and the Netherlands — has ceased all public activity.
During its search, the FSB discovered that random people sometimes stumble onto GRU agents’ real names. For example, according to an investigative report by Sergey Kanev, a police officer in Moscow’s Shchukino District woke up a man sleeping at a bus station in March 2017. When examining his personal effects, the officer found the phone numbers and names of residents at a Defense Ministry housing complex on Narodnoe Opolchenie Street — all GRU agents and instructors at the “Conservatory.” It turned out that the man had moonlighted as a canvasser for United Russia in recent elections, and all the GRU personnel had gone to vote at the same school in Shchukino.
Have there been any double agents embedded in the GRU? Yes — more than a few.
Dmitry Polyakov worked with American intelligence from 1961 until 1986, during which time he managed to supply the U.S. with roughly 25 boxes of classified documents, give up 19 Soviet undercover intelligence agents, and more than 150 foreign agents spying for Moscow. Essentially, he single-handedly paralyzed the USSR’s undercover intelligence gathering in the United States. Polyakov first served as a member of the Soviet U.N. mission in New York, where he managed covert intelligence work, supervising undercover agents. Later, in the 1970s, he led the main intelligence department at the “Conservatory” back in Moscow. In 1986, Polyakov was arrested. President Ronald Reagan tried to intercede on his behalf directly to Mikhail Gorbachev, but it was too late by then: Polyakov had already been shot. Sandra Grimes, one of the CIA officers who helped uncover Soviet double agent Aldrich Ames, called Polyakov “our crown jewel” and “the best source that any intelligence service has ever had.”
GRU Colonel Oleg Penkovsky started working with British intelligence in the 1960s, and in just a few years he managed to supply MI5 with roughly 5,000 documents, which he copied using a Minox subminiature camera. Penkovsky would drop the intelligence at different locations around Moscow, for example, on Tsvetnoy Boulevard or at the Arbat. Once, he left a package at Vagankovo Cemetery, hidden at the poet Sergey Yesenin’s grave. When he was later arrested and interrogated, Penkovsky reportedly said his signal for making a dead drop was “a walk along the embankment with a cigarette in his mouth and a book in a white wrapper under his arm.” He was arrested and shot in 1962 (though some believe he was incinerated in the GRU building’s oven).
In the early 1990s, GRU Colonel Stanislav Lunev worked at Russia’s station in Washington, D.C. as a staffer at the ITAR-TASS bureau. After being contacted by the CIA, Lunev decided to stay in the United States, and later wrote an autobiography called “Through the Eyes of the Enemy,” where he claimed that GRU agents might be assigned “dead drop sites” to dump chemical and biological weapons into the Potomac River to poison the population of Washington, D.C., in the event of war. Lunev said it was “likely” that GRU specialists had already placed “poison supplies near the tributaries to major U.S. reservoirs.” Alexander Kouzminov, a defector from Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, later supported this information, stating that he transported different pathogens in the early 1990s.
Sergey Skripal at a Moscow District Military Court hearing on August 9, 2006 Sergey Skripal at a Moscow District Military Court hearing on August 9, 2006 Yuri Senatorov / Kommersant GRU Colonel Sergey Skripal worked undercover in Spain as a military attaché. In 1995, he started cooperating with British intelligence. Skripal supervised the GRU’s personnel department and was well acquainted with most of the agency’s intelligence officers. He also managed to give MI5 information about secret Russian military sites and the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. In 2006, Skripal was arrested and sentenced to 13 years in prison. In 2010, however, he was exchanged with Alexander Zaporozhsky for undercover Russian agents captured in the United States.
In 1997, Alexander Zaporozhsky quit the GRU and moved with his family to the United States, where he found work as a corporate consultant. Shortly after arriving in America, he also started cooperating with the U.S. intelligence community, providing information about the activities of Russian spy agencies and individual intelligence operatives. Shortly before his arrest in Russia, Zaporozhsky bought a home in Maryland, not far from Baltimore, for $400,000. In 2001, his former colleagues lured him back home, and he was arrested as soon as he set foot in the Moscow airport. Zaporozhsky was sentenced to 18 years in prison, but he was traded back to the West with Sergey Skripal in 2010.
In February 2002, a policeman saw GRU Colonel Alexander Sypachev enter the U.S. embassy in Moscow, and the officer reported it to his supervisors. Sypachev was put under surveillance immediately afterwards, and soon he met a CIA agent in Khimki, outside Moscow, who asked him to acquire information about Russia’s spies abroad. After obtaining the intelligence, Sypachev delivered it to a drop site near Moscow’s Studencheskaya subway station, where FSB agents promptly arrested him. In court, he said he did it for the money. A year before his contact with American intelligence agents, Sypachev went through a divorce that left his ex-wife with everything, including their apartment. He later remarried, but he had to take out loans to rent a new apartment and buy furniture. The court sentenced him to eight years in prison.
How dangerous is it to work in Russia’s intelligence community? Former and current intelligence operatives often die under mysterious circumstances.
Sergey Tretyakov, who served as the head of the SVR station in New York until 2000, was the highest ranking Russian intelligence official ever to spy for the United States. Beginning in the mid-1990s, he started passing documents to U.S. officials in exchange for money. Before long, his wife was seen driving around in a sports car. In 2000, Tretyakov received political asylum in America. Eight years later, while promoting a book about his experiences as a Russian spy, Tretyakov said in an interview, “I am the highest ranking intelligence officer who’s ever [switched sides]. If something happens to me, Russia will be excluded from [the world’s] civilized community.” A little more than a year later, in 2010, Tretyakov choked on a piece of meat at a restaurant in Florida and died.
In 2009, GRU Deputy Director Yuri Ivanov also died under mysterious circumstances: he was in Syria on official business when his body washed up in a Turkish village. Meanwhile, SVR officer Evgeny Toporov, who fled to Canada in 2000, was electrocuted to death in his bathtub, 10 years later.
In 1992, the GRU’s deputy director died in a traffic collision. The next year, the head of the agency’s Pacific Fleet Military Counterintelligence Department was killed in a similar tragedy. In 1996, another GRU commander, Alexey Lomanov, was hit and killed by a car. A year later, GRU Major General Viktor Shipilov fell to his death from the 15th floor of his apartment building. In 1999, GRU Major General Ivan Shalaev also died in a car crash. In 2000, police found the body of a lieutenant colonel from the SVR who had been stabbed in the neck.
In the 2000s, Russian intelligence officers were attacked and robbed almost constantly. In 2002, an SVR officer was assaulted on Demyan Bedny Street in Moscow. A year later, unidentified men armed with handguns attacked SVR Colonel Alexander Poteyev in his home, beating up both him and his son (then a senior in college), before stealing his money. (This is the same intelligence operative who later defected to the U.S., and helped unmask Anna Chapman and other “illegals.” BuzzFeed recently reported that Poteyev is still alive, despite claims by Russian state television that he died.) In 2003, unknown persons infiltrated SVR departmental housing through an air duct and stole an operative’s laptop. A year later, unknown persons attacked another SVR agent on Uzumrudnaya Street in Moscow, stealing his briefcase. In 2005, another SVR officer was assaulted in the street, and that same year the SVR’s departmental housing was infiltrated again — through another air duct, no less — and someone made off with an officer’s documents and money. In 2006, someone stole a safe from one of the SVR’s departmental housing units.
GRU Director Igor Sergun died suddenly on January 3, 2016. Officially, he passed away at his home outside Moscow after suffering a heart attack. According to the American geopolitical intelligence firm Stratfor, however, Sergun died on New Year’s Day in Lebanon.
What happens to former intelligence operatives? In retirement, the lives of former GRU operatives have taken many turns.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, ex-agents from the GRU often popped up in news reports about organized crime. In 1996, for example, a former officer carried out the Kotlyakovskoya Cemetery bombing, which killed 14 people. Together with the Orekhovskaya gang, other former GRU operatives planned to kill the president of the “Russian Gold” company, and staged the businessman’s abduction. In 2005, ex-GRU Sergeant Major Yuri Kolchin was convicted of organizing the assassination of Soviet dissident and Russian politician Galina Starovoytova. In 2015, federal agents raided the home of a former GRU colonel in Nizhny Novgorod. In his garage, they discovered Kalashnikov automatic weapons, rifles, two machine guns, grenade launchers, and a Makarov pistol that a year before had been used to murder a Moscow businessman.
GRU Colonel Vladimir Kvachkov’s story is widely known. Tried for plotting to kill Anatoly Chubais and acquitted by a jury, Kvachkov was re-arrested almost immediately after his release from pretrial detention — this time for planning an armed revolt and acts of terrorism. A judge ultimately sentenced him to 13 years in prison.
After being unmasked or deciding to leave the intelligence community, many operatives find jobs at state corporations. (In this vein, the people expelled from the United States in 2010 along with Anna Chapman soon found themselves working as executives at Transneft and Rosneft.) Others become state officials. But there are some special cases.
In the early 2000s, Vladimir Frolov may have served as Robert Hanssen’s handler, allegedly working as a liaison between Russian operatives and the American double agent who passed secrets to Moscow for more than two decades. According to an FBI report in 2002, Hanssen's actions were “possibly the worst intelligence disaster in U.S. history.” He sold thousands of documents to the Russians, made 22 dead drops, and turned over 26 computer discs with data about Washington’s undercover programs, double agents, and more.
A graduate of the Defense Ministry’s Military Institute (a training grounds for Russian intelligence officers), Frolov worked as first deputy secretary at Russia’s embassy in Washington, D.C. In mid-March 2001 (a few years after Hanssen’s arrest), Frolov left the U.S. in a hurry, announcing that he was taking a job at Izvestia (which the newspaper immediately refuted). In his book, “The Deep State,” Mike Lofgren says Vladimir Frolov tried to recruit him in 2000, when he was working as an analyst for the House Budget Committee.
Back in Russia, Frolov established himself as a respected expert on Russian-U.S. relations, writing articles about spies and “troll factories.” The New York Times, which called him a “Russian spy” in 2001, now describes Frolov as a “prominent international expert.” Today, he has a regular column at the website Republic, where he argues that people from the SVR and GRU will repair U.S-Russian relations, and weighs in on issues like on the expulsion of American diplomats from Russia.
Frolov refused to meet with Meduza’s correspondent for this story. Asked about his alleged intelligence work, all he said was, “The first rule of Fight Club is: You do not talk about Fight Club.”
In a recent article about the unmasked GRU agents accused of carrying out the nerve-agent attack in Salisbury, England, Frolov wrote the following: “Journalist colleagues, you really shouldn’t push yourselves to expose the identities of active Russian intelligence operatives working undercover. This information is a state secret and its disclosure is a criminal offense.”

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

10 ways to bulk convert audio files into one
From: https://multimedia.easeus.com/video-editing-tips/audio-joiner.html#part3
3. Copy Command on Windows
Platform: Windows
Windows allows you to merge audio from the command prompt. Here is the command you can use is as follows:
copy /b *.mp3 c:\merged.mp3
The command above means it will find all MP3 files in the directory and join them into the merged.mp3 file.
If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.

Source: https://www.videoproc.com/audio-editor/best-audio-mergers.htm
3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt
Step 3. In the Command Prompt, enter the command: cd c:\mp3, then hit the Enter key.
- Sidenote: The c:\mp3 command is the file folder directory where your mp3 audio files are kept. If your audio files are kept on C disk, c:\ file location
Step 4: There will be c:\mp3> command already existing, copy and paste commands as follows:
"C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" -vv 1.mp3 2.mp3 --sout-keep --sout=#gather:transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128}:standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=combinedout.mp3}
- Sidenotes:
- 1. C:\PROGRAMFILES\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe command refers to the directory path where the VLC launching program is located in your Windows computer, which is also the default path of VLC setup. Change it if you've set a different destination path for your VLC installation.
- 2. The 1.mp3 2.mp3 command refers to the filename of your audio tracks. Customize the part based on your personal demands.
- 3. The combinedout.mp3 command refers to the file name of the combined file. You can change it to the one you like.

- [Uploaded soon - Outlook presentation - why elections are the only way a small group can change American Foreign policy. How to pressure American politicians to vote for peace through blue state elections]
Because the only way to change American foreign policy is through elections, the only focus of an American peace organizations and individual advocates should be around the next congressional election.
If you are a peace organization
The National Rifle Association is the most powerful lobbying organization in the United States. The NRA focuses on one issue, and one issue only. They will support any candidate, no matter what the party, if that candidate supports gun rights. An effective American peace organization should focus only on American international foreign policy. This organization should embrace any viable candidate that supports peace, even if that candidate has domestic policies that members do not traditionally support.
The peace organizations should focus on only one Blue/Purple State Congressional race. Focus the entire budget of a peace organization on one congressional race in which the pro-war democrat candidate in a tight race. This will be the first step in a marketing campaign for the peace organization. An election victory that the peace organization can show to donors, volunteers, the media and most importantly, future candidates that an anti-war platform is important to the electorate and change is possible.

- In a congressional election
Does the Republican candidates for Congress (including the Tea Party) support peace more than the Democratic member?
Actively pressure your blue state democrat congressman to make a firm statement in support of peace. Meet with your congressional candidate. Tell them if they do not actively support a pro-peace campaign, you will fervently support their Republican opponent.

3rd of 4 letters to Putin's inner circle
My name is Travis Lee Bailey. Some background on who I am. I am a Washington, DC lawyer living here in Moscow for approximately the past 3 years. My career ambitions are two pronged. First, I either will work for a Russian think tank such as the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (RISS) in consulting or writing policy papers on how Russia can subvert the United States economically.
Alternatively we will create our own state-sanctioned Russian think tank to abolish copyright in Russia among other activities.
According to Russian academics you are influential with President Vladimir Putin. Therefore, the reason I am writing you is that I want to make a policy suggestion. I propose that the Russian Federation abolishes copyright. The more copyright law is weakened abroad, the weaker America is economically and therefore militarily.
In 2016 the U.S. Commerce Department released a comprehensive report entitled, “Intellectual Property and the U.S. Economy: 2016 Update,” which found that Intellectual Property intensive industries support at least 45 million U.S. jobs and contribute to more than $6 trillion dollars (38 percent) of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). This study points to the fact that Russia can cripple the United States by abolishing copyright.
On Saturday, January 11, 2020, I was blessed to meet the founder of SciHub, Russian citizen Alexandra Elbakyan. Ms. Elbakyan has created an illegal pirated database of all of the research papers ever written. It is estimated that 80% of all of the world's research papers are on the SciHub webpage. This database has not only revolutionized science by freeing the monopoly of information that the United States holds, it has crippled the American's academic industry. SciHub can be expanded.
The Russian Federation has earmarked 2 billion rubles to the Большая Российская энциклопедия (https://greatbook.ru/publishers/contacts.html) to create Russia's own Wikipedia. Without copyright, this Wikipedia could be the modern day Library of Alexandria, catapulting Russian science and prestige on the world stage. I strongly suggest that you consult with Ms. Elbakyan on this project. I would also be happy to assist in any way possible.
In this time of radical change in the government this month, I wish you and your staff only my best wishes.
Sincerely,
Travis Lee Bailey, Esq.

Article 2
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Family name hatnote
Elizaveta Petrovna Glinka (Template:Lang-ru, also known as Dr. Liza (Template:Lang-ru); 20 February 1962 – 25 December 2016) was a Russian humanitarian worker and charity activist. She was honoured three times with state awards for her work. Glinka died in the 2016 Russian Defence Ministry Tupolev Tu-154 crash.[12]
Early life
Glinka was born in Moscow. Her father served in the armed forces, while her mother Galina Ivanovna Poskrebysheva was a doctor, as well as a TV presenter and writer of cookbooks and encyclopedias.[13] She studied at the Russian National Research Medical Institute in Moscow, graduating in pediatric anesthesiology. In 1986 she emigrated to the US, where she studied palliative care and became involved with the work of hospices. Upon return to Russia, she started working at the First Moscow Hospice, founded by Nuyta Federmesser's mother Vera Millionshikova.[14] In the late 1990s when Glinka's husband, Gleb Glebovich Glinka, was transferred to Kyiv, Ukraine for two years, she moved to Kyiv and worked on creating palliative care in Kyiv's oncology center. In September 2001 with the help of VALE Hospice International she opened the first public hospice in Kyiv. In 2007, when her mother became gravely ill, Glinka returned to Moscow.[15]
Career
Glinka's first charity project began in 1999, when she opened the first public hospice in Kyiv, Ukraine.[16] She later founded the VALE Hospice International fund based in USA[17] and served as a board member of the Vera Hospice Charity Fund in Moscow.[18][15]
In 2007 she founded a humanitarian NGO 'Spravedlivaya Pomoshch' (in English, Fair Care, Fair Aid or Fair Help). The organization works to support terminally ill cancer patients and underprivileged and homeless people by providing medical supplies, financial and legal aid, and other essential services.[15][19][20]
The Fair Care Foundation led numerous public initiatives. The foundation helped the homeless and provided food and medical assistance, offered palliative care programs to gravely ill patients, collected and distributed humanitarian aid to victims of natural disasters.[15] As Glinka's colleagues recalled, she even helped the homeless who feared to die and be buried in unsigned graves: she bought places in cemeteries and organized funerals.[21]
In 2010, the Fair Care Foundation collected and distributed aid for victims of forest fires and in 2012, for those who lost their homes after floods in the Krasnodar region of Krymsk.[22]
In January 2012 Glinka along with fifteen other media figures and opposition activists including Boris Akunin, Leonid Parfyonov, Yuri Shevchuk, Lyudmila Ulitskaya, Dmitry Bykov and Sergey Parkhomenko founded the League of Voters as a reaction to the 2011 protests against the election results.[23] Their declared aims included observance of electoral rights, organizing mass marches, training observers and publishing lists of election commissions, including black lists. Shortly after an unplanned tax inspection arrived to the offices of Fair Aid. As a result, all financial assets were frozen for a period of time. On February, 1 they were unblocked, and the Fund continued its work.[24]
The same year Glinka became a member of the federal civil committee of the Civic Platform and supported Mikhail Prokhorov during the 2012 Russian presidential election.[25] Since November, 2012 Glinka was a member of the Russian Presidential Council for Civil Society Institutions and Human Rights (HRC).[26][27]
- 2014 - Ukraine War
With the outbreak of the War in Donbass Glinka became involved with evacuating sick and injured children from territory held by pro-Russian separatists.[22] She moved them to hospitals in Moscow or Saint Petersburg, where they could receive medical attention. It has been estimated that she travelled more than 20 times into conflict zones, and saved about 500 children.[22] Children were moved across the state border without permission from authorities, leading to accusations of child abduction from Ukrainian government officials.[12] Glinka's response was that politics was irrelevant in matters of life and death.[22]
Her organisation was also active in providing medical supplies, equipment and food to hospitals in Donetsk and Luhansk, however Glinka complained that the customs checks for their convoys of trucks were slow and onerous and delayed delivery of the supplies.[28][29] Despite Russian military forces taking part in the war, Glinka said that she didn't see Russian troops in Donetsk and that the conflict was a civil war.[30][31] She also delivered medication to the Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko during her hunger strike while imprisoned in Russia.[32]
- Awards
In 2012 Glinka received the Order of Friendship award, and in 2015 the Decoration "For Beneficence".[33][34] In December 2016 Russian President Vladimir Putin presented her with another national award, the State Prize of the Russian Federation, for outstanding achievements in charity and human rights activities.[22]
Death
Glinka died in the 2016 Russian Defence Ministry Tupolev Tu-154 crash on 25 December 2016, while travelling to Latakia to deliver medical supplies to Tishreen University Hospital.[35][36] The criminal case on the crash was closed in 2019 due to the absence of a crime.[37]
Personal life
Glinka was married to a bankruptcy attorney, Gleb Glinka.[16]
Legacy
After her death, Doctor Liza's Foundation 'Spravedlivaya Pomosh' kept working, in a few years it was expanded and registered as an International Fund. With the time, psychological help was added along with socialization initiatives to reintroduce former homeless people to the society. .[38] On February 20, 2018, the new charity fund 'Doctor Liza' was established by her former colleagues, Gleb Glinka was invited to head the Board.[39] Liza's friend Lana Jurkina founded 'House of Friends' charity organization that also helps the homeless people.[27]
Glinka was known to be friends with British journalist Graham Phillips, who made a film about Glinka, after her death. [40] [41]

Copyright as a weapon in the economic war against America
Video forthcoming
Teleprompter text:
|
What would happen if Iran abolished all copyright laws and withdrew from all international intellectual property treaties? Could copyright be used as a weapon against the united states? I am going to explore this possibility.
I am standing in front of the Iranian embassy – an embassy that represents a besieged country which has been aggressively bullied and oppressed by the united states for decades.
Recently, the united states unilaterally withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal and just this week the us again threated war.
What can a small country like Iran do? In 2016 the U.S. commerce department released a comprehensive report entitled, “intellectual property and the U.S. economy” The study found that intellectual property intensive industries support at least 45 million U.S. jobs and contributes more than $6 trillion dollars to the economy
The report even went so far as to say that 38% of American's gross domestic product is in intellectual property! Iran can stand up to the united states, by attacking 38% of the American economy. This can be done by abolishing copyright.
Iran would then proclaim to the world that there is no copyright in Iran and they would warmly welcome all online piracy.
Secret servers could be installed in the country to build a library of all of the world's knowledge.
A YouTube with every movie and television show ever created. A library of every book ever written. All connected by a Wikipedia collective site connecting the sum of all human knowledge. In short, a modern-day seventh wonder of the world - a contemporary library of Alexandria.
The more intellectual property and copyright law is weakened abroad, the weaker America is economically and therefore militarily. This will succeed because every person, organization and country has an Achilles heel. The larger the country, the bigger the Achilles heel.
I am walking into the Iranian embassy right now to give them a packet explaining and expounding on this powerful idea.
This is Travis Lee Bailey reporting from the Iranian embassy in Moscow Russia.

Чем вы готовы пожертвовать и от чего отказаться ради своих глубочайших убеждений?
На сегодняшний день Россия является единственной сверхдержавой, которая противостоит самой жестокой стране в мире - Америке.
Будучи адвокатом DC и исследователем международных отношений, я принимал участие в движении за мир на протяжении десятилетий. Я пришел к пониманию того, что в настоящее время невозможно изменить международную внешнюю политику Соединенных Штатов изнутри.
В сентябре 2018 года я возвращаюсь в Москву на 2 года, для того, чтобы получить степень магистра в области глобальной политики. Чтобы помочь сформировать российскую политику против Соединенных Штатов, мне нужно сначала понять Россию и объединиться с влиятельными москвичами.
Основываясь на мое образование в области социальных движений, в частности: рабство в 1700-х годах, я знаю, что мир во всем мире возможен. Ни одно социальное движение не состоит только из одного человека, поэтому я прошу поддержки российских патриотов и тех граждан, которые жаждут этого мира.
Для реализации этой программы необходимы средства в размере 2650 долларов США за каждые полгода двухлетнего обучения. Стоимость жилья составляет 250 долларов в месяц в течение 18 месяцев.
1. DC - ?
2. To shape Russian policy AGAINST the United States - sounds strange for a peacemaker....I would change it into finding ways to create peace between two countries. Otherwise you contradict yourself and no one will believe you. I don't like the whole sentence at all.
3. To understand Russia - be ready for a lot of laughter. We have a well known saying: Умом Россию не понять. It is impissible to understand Russia using brains. Fiodor Tiutchev said this in 1866: Умом Россию не понять. Аршином общим не измерить: У ней особенная стать - В Россию можно только верить. YOU CAN ONLY BELIEVE IN RUSSIA.

What are you willing to sacrifice and give up for your deepest held beliefs?
Today the only superpower that is standing up to America, the most violent country internationally, is Russia.
As a DC lawyer and international relations scholar I have been involved the peace movement for decades. I have come to the realization that it is currently not possible to change the United States international foreign policies from within.
In September 2018, I will return to Moscow Russia to begin a masters degree in global policy for two years. To help shape Russian policy against the United States I need to first understand Russia and network with influential Muscovites.
Based on my education of social movements, particularly the end of slavery in the 1700's I know a peaceful world is possible. No social movement involves just one person, that is why I am asking for the support of Russian patriots and those world citizens who yearn for a peaceful world.
The funds involve $2650 per term for each of four terms. Housing costs of $250 a month for 18 months.

What is "ImportEnterpriseRoots" Certificate
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1306557
This is a pretty common question that gets asked here.
The ImportEnterpriseRoots policy is setup by a lot of security programs (antivirus, firewall, etc). Security programs often use this policy so that they can view incoming secure connections to check that the content is safe, without triggering error messages in Firefox.
That policy has no impact on what settings you will be able to use in Firefox. It will cause the "Your computer is being managed by your organization" warning message to appear on top of the settings page, but that's it.
Removing that policy from your computer often causes your security program to stop working and/or will cause issues in Firefox when loading some websites.
Hope this clears things up for you.

If you want to add only a few files add them accordingly using a "+" sign in between.
- Pros
No need to install a software
The simplest way to merge audio files without losing quality
- Cons
Not possible to edit the files
No way to change the format of the output file
Cumbersome to use.

3. How to Merge MP3 Files on Windows 10 with VLC
VLC is an open-source free program that you can free access to. Based on its introduction of how to merge videos, we have tested its capability of combining audio files, and it turns out to be feasible as well. Before we kick off, you need to make sure that all of your audio files have the file extension of .mp3. Otherwise, this method may not work for you. (Notice: if you have different formatted audio files such as .flac and .mp3, see the workaround.)
Step 1. Download and install VLC on your computer.
You are recommended to install VLC locally by its default route.
Step 2. Use the keyboard shortcuts
Win+X > click Command Prompt in the pop-up list.
Or, use the hotkey combination
Win+R to open Run >
type cmd in the box >
hit Enter
Then the Command Prompt will be opened as well.
Run Command Prompt
[Win+R] > cmd to run Command Prompt

How to open specific page on Google's docs viewer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9193144/how-to-open-specific-page-on-googles-docs-viewer
I found a solution I'll post here just in case somebody is in the same situation.
Every page inside google's docs viewer iframe has an id like :0.page.X, being X the number of the page. Calling the service like this
<iframe id="iframe1" src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://yourpdf&embedded=true#:0.page.20"> won't work (maybe because the pages ids are not yet created when the page is rendered?)
So you just have to add an onload attribute to the iframe:
<iframe id="iframe1" src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://yourpdf&embedded=true" onload="javascript:this.contentWindow.location.hash=':0.page.20';"> and voilà, the iframe will automatically scroll down after loading.
Note that page indices are zero-based. If you want to view the 20th page of a document in the viewer, you would need use the parameter

Why do They Hate Us? Origins of Anti-Americanism A Framework for Analysis
Content
English Introduction
Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) research paper.
Why do they hate us? After 9/11, this question was heard throughout American media. Despite the interest about Anti-Americanism in the popular journalism, academic literature on the subject of Anti-Americanism has been surprising limited. While the limited research around Anti-Americanism has focused on which country's citizens are Anti-American and/or has attempted to quantify what Anti-Americanism is, little existing research has explained the social and economic factors which cause Anti-Americanism. This paper will seek to understand key cultural drivers that have fostered Anti-American sentiment. While outside the scope of this research, these results may contribute to a critical reassessment of the deep-seated roots of third world rage, and help avert future terrorist attack on United States interests.
Conclusion
This study sought to identify at a broad level, significant factors that have led to Anti-Americanism in many of the world's countries. The research first analyzed the impact of economic independent variables followed by economic aid and US troop levels. In summary, only military aid and sales showed a strong significant relationship to Anti-Americanism.
RUSSIAN excerpt (РУССКИЙ отрывок)
Почему они ненавидят нас?
Происхождение анти-американизма:
Почему они ненавидят нас? После 11 сентября этот вопрос прозвучал во всех американских СМИ. Несмотря на интерес к антиамериканизму в популярной журналистике, академическая литература по теме антиамериканизма оказалась удивительно ограниченной. В то время как ограниченные исследования вокруг антиамериканизма были сосредоточены на том, какие граждане страны являются антиамериканцами и / или пытались количественно определить, что такое антиамериканизм, мало существующих исследований объяснили социальные и экономические факторы, которые вызывают антиамериканизм. В этой статье мы попытаемся понять основные культурные факторы, которые способствовали развитию антиамериканских настроений. Хотя эти результаты и выходят за рамки настоящего исследования, они могут способствовать критической переоценке глубинных корней ярости третьего мира и помочь предотвратить будущие террористические нападения на Соединенные Штаты.
Вывод
Это исследование было направлено на выявление на широком уровне существенных факторов, которые привели к антиамериканизму во многих странах мира. В ходе исследования сначала анализировалось влияние экономических независимых переменных, а затем - экономическая помощь и численность американских войск. Таким образом, только военная помощь и продажи демонстрировали сильную значимую связь с антиамериканизмом.Обзор существующей литературы.
В исследовании 1992 года на тему антиамериканизма Смит и Вертман (1992: 188) заметили, что «хотя антиамериканизм уже давно вызывает обеспокоенность у СМИ и политиков США», антиамериканизм игнорируется учеными. Почти два десятилетия спустя, и несмотря на атаки 11 сентября и феноменальный рост антиамериканских настроений по всему миру, это утверждение все еще остается верным (Джонстон (Johnston), 2006, стр. 3). Ученые считают причиной отсутствия внимания три фактора. Первый фактор заключается в том, что антиамериканизм - это неоднозначный термин, который трудно осмыслить (Джонстон, 2006, стр. 3). Во-вторых, антиамериканизмом чаще называют эмоции, которые являются реакцией на какое-либо событие, чем используют как определение самих событий. Там, где другие темы социальных наук находят аналитиков и аналогии, антиамериканизм должен бороться с крестоносцами (Джонстон, 2006, стр. 3; Миллер, 1982, стр. 3). Последний фактор американская коллективная амнезия, человеческая тенденция перекладывать вину на удобные абстракции и культурное чувство невиновности (Мак Ферсон, Миллер (McPherson, 2004, 148; Miller, 1982), стр. 253).
Джонсон (2006: 10) заявляет, что большинство антиамериканской литературы явно имеет свой посыл, и почти все антиамериканские ученые разделяются на два лагеря. Одна группа ученых утверждает, что виноваты политики Соединенных Штатов и что Соединенные Штаты ненавидят за то, что они делают и их внешнюю политику и действия, «внешняя» причина (с. 10). Вторая группа ученых, заявляет, что антиамериканизм является иррациональным поведением, что антиамериканизм происходит от психологических, культурных или политических аспектов нации, граждане которой проявляют антиамериканизм. Эти авторы предполагают, что граждане других стран ненавидят Соединенные Штаты за то, чем они являются, «внутренняя» причина. (Джонстон (Johnston), 2006, стр. 10; Schlapentokh & Woods, 2004, стр. 167). Джонстон (2006: 5) утверждает, что «несмотря на то, что это притворяется законной социальной наукой, основная масса этой литературы в значительной степени не более чем тонко завуалированная пропаганда, которая поразительно (и тревожно) похожа на литературу, выпущенную сторонниками правого крыла и комментаторами консерваторов" . Наиболее известный внутренний взгляд - «Столкновение цивилизаций» Хантингтона (1996: 15).
Хантингтон полагает, что существует непреодолимая пропасть между Западом и его ценностями и Исламом и его ценностями. Недавние исследования основаны на этой внутренней гипотезе.

Today the most violent country internationally is America.
What you can do
- Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter -- Martin Luther King
If you are living outside of America
The more copyright law is weakened abroad, the weaker America is economically and therefore militarily.
Every person, organization and country has an Achilles heel. The larger the person, organization, or country, the bigger the Achilles heel. In 2016 US Presidential a Saint Petersburg troll farm company helped get Donald J. Trump get elected. The election shows that Russians are acutely cognizant of many of America's Achilles heels.
In 2016 the U.S. Commerce Department released a comprehensive report entitled, “Intellectual Property and the U.S. Economy: 2016 Update,” which found that Intellectual Property intensive industries support at least 45 million U.S. jobs and contribute to more than $6 trillion dollars to, or 38.2 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).[58]
Established in late 2020, my second consulting firm will lobby the Russian Federation to abolish copyright.

In the country you are living in abroad:
- Write a letter to all of the embassies hostile to the United States. See sample below (Iran Embassy letter).
If you are living in a country hostile to the United States:
- Email, call, regular mail or visit the leaders of the country you are living in.
- If you are an American, especially in third world countries, American soft power makes you very prestigious and your voice will be heard much more than the average American. See sample below (Iran Embassy letter).

- Washington Post: Why do we ignore the civilians killed in American wars?, John Tirman.
- The major wars the United States has fought since the surrender of Japan in 1945 ... we do not have an accurate sense of how many people died, but a conservative estimate is at least 6 million civilians and soldiers.
- The Deaths of Others: The Fate of Civilians in Americas War, John Tirman, (2011).
- Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, (1997).
- This book "provides conclusive evidence that the extermination of European Jewry engaged the energies and enthusiasm of tens of thousands of ordinary Germans."
- The parallels between "Good Germans" in Nazi Germany who supported the Holocaust and ordinary Americans today in how Americans condone the death of 6 million people overseas is striking.

- [Uploaded soon - Outlook presentation - why elections are the only way a small group can change American Foreign policy. How to pressure American politicians to vote for peace through blue state elections]
Because the only way to change American foreign policy is through elections, the only focus of an American peace organizations and individual advocates should be around the next congressional election.
If you are a peace organization
The National Rifle Association is the most powerful lobbying organization in the United States. The NRA focuses on one issue, and one issue only. They will support any candidate, no matter what the party, if that candidate supports gun rights. An effective American peace organization should focus only on American international foreign policy. This organization should embrace any viable candidate that supports peace, even if that candidate has domestic policies that members do not traditionally support.
The peace organizations should focus on only one Blue/Purple State Congressional race. Focus the entire budget of a peace organization on one congressional race in which the pro-war democrat candidate in a tight race. This will be the first step in a marketing campaign for the peace organization. An election victory that the peace organization can show to donors, volunteers, the media and most importantly, future candidates that an anti-war platform is important to the electorate and change is possible.

- In a congressional election
Does the Republican candidates for Congress (including the Tea Party) support peace more than the Democratic member?
Actively pressure your blue state democrat congressman to make a firm statement in support of peace. Meet with your congressional candidate. Tell them if they do not actively support a pro-peace campaign, you will fervently support their Republican opponent.

The more copyright law is weakened abroad, the weaker America is economically and therefore militarily.
Every person, organization and country has an Achilles heel. The larger the person, organization, or country, the bigger the Achilles heel. In 2016 US Presidential a Saint Petersburg troll farm company helped get Donald J. Trump get elected. The election shows that Russians are acutely cognizant of many of America's Achilles heels.
In 2016 the U.S. Commerce Department released a comprehensive report entitled, “Intellectual Property and the U.S. Economy: 2016 Update,” which found that Intellectual Property intensive industries support at least 45 million U.S. jobs and contribute to more than $6 trillion dollars to, or 38.2 percent of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP).[1]

3rd of 4 letters to Putin's inner circle
My name is Travis Lee Bailey. Some background on who I am. I am a Washington, DC lawyer living here in Moscow for approximately the past 3 years. My career ambitions are two pronged. First, I either will work for a Russian think tank such as the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (RISS) in consulting or writing policy papers on how Russia can subvert the United States economically.
Alternatively we will create our own state-sanctioned Russian think tank to abolish copyright in Russia among other activities.
According to Russian academics you are influential with President Vladimir Putin. Therefore, the reason I am writing you is that I want to make a policy suggestion. I propose that the Russian Federation abolishes copyright. The more copyright law is weakened abroad, the weaker America is economically and therefore militarily.
In 2016 the U.S. Commerce Department released a comprehensive report entitled, “Intellectual Property and the U.S. Economy: 2016 Update,” which found that Intellectual Property intensive industries support at least 45 million U.S. jobs and contribute to more than $6 trillion dollars (38 percent) of U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). This study points to the fact that Russia can cripple the United States by abolishing copyright.
On Saturday, January 11, 2020, I was blessed to meet the founder of SciHub, Russian citizen Alexandra Elbakyan. Ms. Elbakyan has created an illegal pirated database of all of the research papers ever written. It is estimated that 80% of all of the world's research papers are on the SciHub webpage. This database has not only revolutionized science by freeing the monopoly of information that the United States holds, it has crippled the American's academic industry. SciHub can be expanded.
The Russian Federation has earmarked 2 billion rubles to the Большая Российская энциклопедия (https://greatbook.ru/publishers/contacts.html) to create Russia's own Wikipedia. Without copyright, this Wikipedia could be the modern day Library of Alexandria, catapulting Russian science and prestige on the world stage. I strongly suggest that you consult with Ms. Elbakyan on this project. I would also be happy to assist in any way possible.
In this time of radical change in the government this month, I wish you and your staff only my best wishes.
Sincerely,
Travis Lee Bailey, Esq.

Module 2 (2020.01.23)
Our team will focus on food insecurity among resettled refugees in California (we can choose any locality, city, state or county).
Jennifer, let’s choose your geographical area, with your Senator, Dianne Feinstien?
It appears the evil war criminal Diane Fienstien, who voted for the Iraq War in October 2002, and was the architect of the American police state, represents you Jennifer:

The irony is that the architect of the police state cried foul when the CIA spied on her.

During our research we found that
California has the 5th largest economy in the world with a population of 38 million. Over half, (27%) are immigrants. The federal government is attempting to drop federal welfare benefits for all Americans, which will hurt low income Californians. These changes will not only adversely affect the poor in the state of California; it will especially affect immigrants and refugees. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) defines these poor Californian's "Public Charge". A Public charge is defined as: "An individual who is likely to become “primarily dependent on the government for subsistence, as demonstrated by either the receipt of public cash assistance for income maintenance, or institutionalization for long-term care at government expense." The proposed changes to low income benefits are draconian. These rule changes are counter to our core values as Americans. Entire communities will be economically affected by these changes.
Our brief will specifically focus on
Federal cuts to welfare will dramatically negatively affect American immigrants in the state of California
