FEBRUARY 11, 2020ANDYFRECKA How I Got An Unlimited Russian Residence Permit You might be thinking of getting a Russian residence permit if things are starting to get serious between you and the Motherland.

I will tell you the story of how I got an unlimited Russian residency permit. By unlimited, I mean a Russian residence permit “with no expiration date”.

I won’t tell you every single step, because that would require much more than a blog post. That would be sort of like doing an interview with Neil Armstrong on the lunar surface and asking, “How does a man get on the moon?”.

If you are looking for a to-do list on getting a Russian residence permit, there are plenty of good resources online. If you would like someone to guide you through the process, I will provide a recommendation at the end of this post. Because I’m not that guy.

Here are a few points to get started with for applying for your Russian residence permit. There are exceptions to nearly every point, but in most cases:

In order to get a permanent residence permit in Russia, you will first need to get a temporary residency permit. In order to get a temporary residence permit, you will first need to already be in Russia, which in most cases, will mean you need a visa. Owning real estate in Russia does not guarantee residency, but it does simplify the process. Because otherwise, you will need to find a good friend who will register you in their home. Not always an easy task. As a point of product placement in this blog post, I might mention that I run a real estate agency in Moscow, and we are seeing a rapidly growing number of foreigners make the decision to buy their own home. This will certainly ease the residence application for them if they choose to follow that route. You will need to pass a Russian language, history and law test (more on that later) You will also need to pass various medical tests (such as TB, HIV). IMG_6949.JPG I’m smiling on the inside, like a Russian, after receiving my unlimited residence permit. Here’s the great news. In the past, the “permanent” Russia residence permits needed to be renewed every 5 years. Not the end of the world, but also not my favorite procedure.

But as of December 1, 2019, all Russia permanent residence permits are now without an expiration date. That means if you already have a Russia permanent residence permit, the next time you need to get a renewal, it will be for a shiny new residence permit, happily free of any expiration date.

If you are going for renewal, here is the list of necessary documents, according to my local immigration office:

IMG_6705.JPG

This notice reads that in order to renew your Russia residence permit you will need:

To write an appeal letter for renewal (an example is found in the bottom third of this page). Your passport and notarized passport translation. Your current residence permit. A document proving that you passed the Russian language, history, and law tests. 2 photos, 35X45 on non-glossy photo paper. And your receipt of paying the related fees. Currently, that amount is 5000 rubles. Which means if you have 4 kids and 1 wife, like this blogger, the total fees will be 30,000 rubles. If you have already received your temporary residence permit you will agree with me- this could not possibly be any simpler. But if you have renewed before, the new system might make you uneasy, just like it did me. You see, in the past, you had to apply for renewal no later than 2 months before your residence permit was due for expiration.

However, the wording of the law under the renewal/no expiration date reform states that you can apply during the validity period of your current residence permit. I hate keeping anything until the last minute. So, in all, I paid 11 visits to my local immigration office over a period of 2 months. Each time, I found a bit more useful information that was helpful in the process and was told to come back last minute.

If you are from a country that requires a visa to enter Russia, it is strongly recommended that you apply further in advance than we did!

It’s probably worth mentioning that the lines in the immigration offices have become much more organized, much less desperate, and happily shorter, due to many people making appointments online. It’s a much better system. The lines didn’t really bother me during those 11 visits. I do have queue experience, and I’ve learned that these types of situations in Russia are much more about a journey than a formula. Once you learn that philosophical truth you will find life to be much more enjoyable.

And I do have a little experience with queues in Russia. 🙂

Long story short, two weeks of relative uneasiness, and yesterday we received our unlimited Russia residence permits. Of course, this story is not over, because you have 7 days to get registered, so will be scrambling to do that after I write this blog post.

The Russian Language, History, and Law Test

This is sort of a side-show that perhaps deserves its own blog post. If you have already done the test in the past 5 years, you shouldn’t have to do it again. I had never done the test before. Here are a few points that I still remember.

The year that the Romanov dynasty began. If you adopt a child in Russia, you can’t marry them later. I think if you fail that question you should not be allowed to get a residence permit anywhere. There was an uprising in 1825. Not sure what the kerfuffle was all about, but I know the year. Your employer in Russia does not have the right to take away your passport. There were quite a few points about labor law, presumably to protect new immigrants. There is a fish festival in Moscow every year. We listened to an audio segment about this and then answered questions. I wrote a letter to an imaginary friend describing how I had taken part in a dance competition in Moscow. Come to think of it, that’s all I remember! Which is sort of surprising because I think I answered 100% of the answers right. I’m not bragging. I’m just saying.

Try a Sample Russian Language Test

Try a Sample Russian History Test

Try a Sample Russian Law Test

If you speak Russian and can memorize facts, it’s not too difficult. Much easier than a Russian driver’s license test.

If you are serious about getting Russian residency, and want a guide, you can contact my friend Dmitry Phillipov here. Dmitry is great and has helped a lot of folks. Dmitry’s consultations start at 250 euros, so only serious inquiries. If you are at the beginning of your journey to Russia, I recommend that you start off with some time on Google and a visa.

As for me, I guess the next step for me is to apply for Russian citizenship. Because when it comes to love for the Motherland… it’s all about the journey.

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.

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.

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.

1. Interview Tuesday November 4 2020

My channel is not political, so I want to ask you questions about your experience of living in Russia as an american, about differences in culture of the US and Russia and things that surprised you about Russians in the areas of habits, communication, business e t.c.

1) However, I think we can’t skip the reason why you are in Russia. Let’s start from the beginning, could you please tell your story? (about your profession back in the US and volunteering at the Peace Corps)

2014.

I was a lawyer in the United States. I was unhappy. I was living in a 3 story house and I was alone in my personal life and in my beliefs. I longed for the Odessa sunsets. I longed for her. The woman on the rock, the woman I dated twice and who screamed at the top of her lungs at how happy she was. I was reaccepted into the Peace Corps, but it was an insignificant country in an important time in world history. I was accepted to go to teach in China. I sold everything. As I was ready to board the plane, dog in hand, there was a layover and I was stuck in Boston. I got a phone call from English First in the airport, saying that they were not going to accept me, and if I came they would arrest me. I went back to the big empty 3 story house, and wept, with only my dog Knopka to comfort me.

December 1999.

Putin had just came to power, 1 day before. I was in Chicago. The next day, group 17 Ukraine flew to Kiev.

2) Why did you decide to run away from the US? Why did you choose Russia? How did you obtain the temporary asylum?

Run away has negative connotations in America. I moved away, for brighter pastures. For a new start in 2015. I was denied political asylum in 2016.

3) What do you do in Russia? (your occupation) What are your goals here?

I am a lawyer. I am starting a non-governmental organization. NGO. Like most Russians. I have my fingers in a lot of pies.

4) Let’s discuss the cultural aspects and that’s what my channel mainly focuses on.

Did you have a cultural shock? (memorize your first day here and your impressions)

My fremeny picked me and my dog Knopka up at the airport in a BMW and then dropped me off at my apartment. He never went in with me. I didn’t see him again for months. He was too busy for me. I was exhausted but excited.

5) You are writing a book “Why Don’t Russians Smile?” the aim of which is to reveal the mystery of a Russian soul. Let’s start from the title :

So, Why don’t Russians smile after all? What is the answer?

How long do we have? Smile, laugh

Coconuts and peaches.

6) Many americans who have Russian friends say “why does the US have problems with Russians? We’re not that different”. What are the similarities between Russians and Americans?

The Russian soul. Russky dusha exists and one of my goals is to quantify it.

7) What are the main differences according to your book, your research?

Discuss:

- collectivism vs individualism

America is the most individualistic country in the world (89%) wheareas Russia is at approximately 45% on the scale. (Hoffstead)

- Russian pessimism

A pessimist is an informed optimist. Americans expect things to turn good and get annoyed when they don’t . Russians are surprised when things turn out good, and expect failure. History, most recently the 1990s are to blame.

- Differences in education systems : cheating culture, high school and universities in usa vs Russia

Cheating in Russia is rife. In the island of America it is not. America has the highest number of people who believe in angels of any industrialized country.

8) You have a chapter “American are like peaches, Russians are like coconuts?”. Why are Americans peaches and Russians are coconuts?

I wish I would have come up with this idea. In the moronic cross cultural training in the US Peace Corps there were some bright spots. A lot of bright spots. One was the deep relationships I formed, which I all lost in 2014. They used the analogy of an egg and a peach.

(What should you do if you’re a peach amongst coconuts?)

If you are a peach among coconuts, expect to be bruised. There are 13 million coconuts in Moscow. Moscow vies for the country with the most immigrants in the world, second only to America. Germany continues to fall and rise as second place.

9) How do Russians and Americans interpret the question “How are you?” What is the difference?

Russians don’t ask how are you unless you really want to know more about the person.

Americans see how are you as a greeting.

10) You have a chapter “The Russian soul” – what are the traits of the Russian soul according to your research?

Its complicated.

11) Consumption of alcohol : Russia vs the US. Can you compare this feature?

In Russia it is a scourge. In America they pop pills.

12) Patience, punctuality and the perception of time. As an American, do you feel the difference of how Russians perceive the time? Was it difficult for you to adapt to this aspect of life?

Moscovites is the most cutthroat and business like place in Russia, yet people are still late.

Friends come first in Russia. If you get a call from a lifelong friend, your important presentation can wait. Whereas Americans turn off their phones.

13) Let’s talk about differences in communication. What are the main differences? (verbosity, straightforwardness, physical contact) (Americans find Russians rude)

Russians are very straightforward in business, whereas Americans are gentler.

Americans are more straightforward in personal affairs, whereas Russians are more gentler and intimate.

14) Business. What are the main differences in how Russians and Americans act in business?

You will have to ask Luc Jones about that.

15) Do you want to stay in Russia? What are the plans for the future? (Why do you want to live in Russia? (cold weather, lower level of life, people aren’t so friendly) Have you traveled? Where would you prefer to live?

Yes. I will live here for the rest of my life. I want to be the first American buried at the base of the Kremlin in the 21st century. Russia is the Wild East with cell phones. As an American I am a super star and super villain, depending on the hour. The opportunities for Americans are vast and unfathomable. Moscow beckons. I am home in Moscow.

I have traveled to Kazan to look up the Soviet Sex school. Other than that, I have never been outside of Moscow in 5 years. I am always working.

16) What advice would you give to expats living or at least visiting Russia? Don’t fall in love until you read our book, WhyDontRussiansSmile.com "There are moments in life when you must act even though you cannot carry your best friends with you. The still small voice within you must always be the final arbiter when there is a conflict of duty." -- Mahatma Gandhi (as mentioned in the podcast).

Sexpionage - visiting the FSB in Kazan

RE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexpionage#Soviet_and_Russian_sexpionage (I wrote the majority of this article)

Letter to that I turned into the Kazan FSB

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.

Text of letter that Anna translated, and Andri and I gave to the FSB officer

Управлению ФСБ России по Республике Татарстан от Бейли Тревиса Ли,1*.0*.19** г.р., почтовый адрес: г. Москва, ул. Делегацкая 11, №69, 127473, контактный телефон: +7 915 444 3195 паспорт № 567551068, выданный в США, справка № 1145-12-013544 о рассмотрении заявления о предоставлении временного убежища на территории Российской Федерации ЗАЯВЛЕНИЕ Прошу предоставить мне информацию из архива ФСБ г. Казань о Государственной Школе №4 и её точный адрес для использования в личных целях как можно быстрее, поскольку сегодня (10.03.2020) в 20:00 я уезжаю в Москву. Вышеупомянутая школа была изображена в фильме «Красный Воробей». В ней готовили агентов КГБ и обучали их различным техникам соблазнения для изъятия информации. Меня интересует, является ли сейчас история данной советской школы государственной тайной. 10.03.2020 Бейли Тревис Ли

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.
• 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.
• The United States has an estimated 800 bases in 70 countries around the world.
• The United States is the biggest weapons seller in the world. The Saudi Arabian dictatorship is America's number one customer.
• 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
• 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?

Historically

The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today: my own government. I cannot be silent. - Martin Luther King.

• 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.
• 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.
• Since the end of World War 2, the United States has:

1. Attempted to overthrow more than 50 foreign governments, most of which were democratically-elected.
2. Dropped bombs on the people of more than 30 countries.
3. Attempted to assassinate more than 50 foreign leaders.
4. Attempted to suppress a populist or nationalist movement in 20 countries.
5. Grossly interfered in democratic elections in at least 30 countries.
6. 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.

• 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.

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.

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.
• 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.
  • Operation Sea-Spray - 1950 in in which biological weapon bacteria were sprayed over the San Francisco Bay Area in California.
  • Etc.

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.

• 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."
  • 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
• 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.
• Saudi Arabia, a brutal dictatorship, buys more weapons from the United States then another other country.
• All of the pilots in the Yemen War were trained by the United States to fly American airplanes. America is:
  • training Saudi pilots,
  • servicing their aircraft,
  • sharing intelligence and
  • advising on targets.
• 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.
• 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.

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.
• 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.
  • 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."
    • 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.
• 85,000 Children in Yemen May Have Died of Starvation.

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.

Iraq War Casualties

I stated that conservatively the United States has killed a half million people.

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.

Products made from petroleum, lists 144 of 6000 items

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"

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.

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.

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.

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.” Communists have a “strong position in Europe, so immensely superior to our own . . . through unabashed and skillful use of lies. They have fought us with unreality, with irrationalism. Can we combat this unreality successfully with rationalism, with truth, with honest, well-meant economic assistance?" No, America needed to embrace a new era of covert warfare to advance her democratic objectives against Soviet deceit. -- George Kennan, 1947.

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.”

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.

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. 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.

Strategies to economically cripple the United States

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. 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".

Excerpt of the book "The Interloper: Lee Harvey Oswald Inside the Soviet Union":

On March 16, two months after he started at the Experimental Department, Oswald was moved from the Hotel Minsk to Apartment 24 at 4 Kalinina Ulitsa, about twenty minutes by foot, or two tram stops, from the hotel. The building was in the center of the city, and it had been designed in the monumental Stalinist style: looming archways, thick columns, oversized windows. It was meant to feel powerful, domineering, even regal. If Oswald walked out of his building and turned right, and then right again, through the narrow driveway, beneath the yellow archway, he would be standing on Kalinina Ulitsa. If he turned left on Kalinina Ulitsa and walked for a minute or two, he would be at Victory Square, which was a traffic circle with an obelisk and eternal flame dedicated to the unknown soldier. If, instead of going to Victory Square, he turned right on Kalinina Ulitsa, he would soon arrive at the military headquarters, shrouded in trees. If he went a little farther, through an oblong patch of forest and up a small hill, he would be at the opera house. Just opposite his window, on the other side of Kalinina Ulitsa and down a short slope, was the river.26 Oswald called the apartment on Kalinina Ulitsa “a Russians dream.” Apartment 24, at entrance No. 2, encompassed 266 square feet, and it had three rooms: a kitchen, a bathroom with a toilet, and a bedroom-cum-living room. There was also a balcony; a vestibule; a small, built-in wardrobe; and views of the river and opera house. The interior walls, which were made of wood and plaster, were just shy of six inches thick, but the exterior walls, which were brick, were a little more than twenty inches in thickness, which meant it was usually quiet inside the apartment. His neighbors rarely heard him, and he seemed oblivious of them.27 It is unlikely that Oswald realized he was living in what amounted to a village inside a city. He had been strategically situated within a five- to ten-minute walk of most everywhere he needed to go —the factory, the grocery store, friends, associates, the opera house, the movie theater, the river, the park, and the Foreign Language Institute, where, according to Titovets, there were women who spoke English, listened to jazz, and were more “adventurous.” This was clearly illustrated in a 1964 CIA report on Oswald’s Soviet period. The report includes a simple street plan of the center of Minsk that shows Oswald’s apartment building and other locations that played a role in his everyday life, including the house where his coworker and one-time love interest Ella German lived (just opposite the river); the building where his future wife, Marina Prusakova, lived with her aunt and uncle (three and a half blocks away); the building where the engineer Alexander Ziger, who became friendly with Oswald and served as something of a father figure, lived with his family (on Krasnaya Ulitsa); and the Palace of Culture of the Council of Trade Unions, where he met Marina Prusakova (on the other side of the river, at October Square). It was as if the KGB had constructed a little world just for him.29 In fact, said Oleg Nechiporenko, that was common KGB practice. Nechiporenko, the KGB officer who briefly handled Oswald’s case when he turned up at the Soviet embassy in Mexico City in the fall of 1963, said the KGB had a name for this sort of “village in a city.” They called it a kolpak, which means “cover,” “dome,” or “shroud.” They would say that someone was in a kolpak or biyt pod kolpakom. This meant one was “being under the cover” of the security organs. To make things more convenient, Apartment 24 was on the fourth floor—above the tree line—and it faced the river. From the opposite bank of the Svisloch, the people strolling on the embankment could see the balcony, and, with binoculars, they could certainly get a good look inside through the windows of his bedroom and kitchen, and down the darkened corridor to the vestibule, filled with a bland, yellow light. It was as if his entire life had been reorganized so that other people could watch it.30 The kolpak accomplished two things: it made it easier for the authorities to watch him, and, more importantly, it put him at ease, which, in turn, made it still easier to watch him. It made him believe he was in a place where he was known and even understood. Here, in this little, invisible village in the middle of Minsk, there were people who worked in the same factory he worked in, spoke the same language he spoke, and liked the same composers he liked. In the coming months, they would go to the movies with him and invite him over for dinner. This feeling of connectivity would have been reinforced daily. Every time he was on the street or at an intersection or on Victory Square, he could expect to run into someone he knew, a friendly acquaintance who would wave and even smile, reminding him that he was somewhere where he could be himself. This was something that Oswald had never had—a sense of belonging. In this way, the security organs anticipated better than Oswald did what he needed. By planting him in this mesh of seemingly thick relations, they oriented and settled him. They made him think that he could do whatever he wanted because he was home now.31 It wasn’t just atmospherics. There was also, most everyone agrees, extensive monitoring of Oswald. This monitoring almost certainly included listening devices, secret police whose job it was to watch him, and a sprawling network of informants who were recruited by the security organs after he arrived. In fact, nearly everyone who worked with Oswald in Minsk said the same two things over and over: they had never informed on him, and most everyone else had. They didn’t like to talk about these things, even fifty years later. But they knew about it. Or, it would be more correct to say, they intuited it. For one thing, Oswald had many bosses—Libezin, Lavshuk, Leonid Botvinik—and each of them seemed to answer to someone else whom no one knew.

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.

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.

Russian Orthodox Saint - lawyer assassinated in 1922

ru.wikipedia.org Ковшаров, Иван Михайлович Иван Михайлович Ковшаров (26 июля 1878, Одесса — 13 августа 1922, Петроград) — российский юрист, адвокат, юрисконсульт Александро-Невской лавры. Расстрелян по приговору Петроградского ревтрибунала 13 августа 1922. Причислен к лику святых Русской Православной церкви в 1992 году.

Иван Михайлович Ковшаров Иоанн Михайлович Ковшаров.jpg Родился 26 июля 1878 Одесса Умер 13 августа 1922 (44 года) Петроград Почитается в православии В лике мучеников День памяти 31 июля (13 августа) Подвижничество мученическая кончина Родился в 1878 году в Одессе в семье мещанина[1]. Михаила Ивановича Ковшарова; дед его, Иван Иванович Ковшаров, был наиболее значительным одесским иконописцем и художником по интерьерам 2-й трети XIX века, среди его работ — роспись одесского Преображенского кафедрального собора и дворца М. С. Воронцова.

Во время учёбы на юридическом факультете Новороссийского (Одесского) университета он изучал церковное право у Александра Ивановича Алмазова, а римское право у Михаила Яковлевича Пергамента. Последнего за ораторское искусство называли одесским златоустом. Возможно, его личность повлияла на выбор Ковшаровым по окончании университета профессии адвоката.

Окончив университет в 1903 году, служил помощником присяжного поверенного в Одессе. По некоторым данным[1], участвовал в политических процессах большевиков и анархистов на стороне защиты.

В 1906 году переехал в Санкт-Петербург. В столице Ковшаров служил помощником присяжного поверенного Ксаверия Ивановича Валицкого.

В 1908 году он был зарегистрирован в качестве присяжного стряпчего при столичном коммерческом суде.

С 1911 года состоял присяжным поверенным Санкт-Петербургского округа Судебной палаты[Комм 1]. Связи с одесской адвокатурой Ковшаров не терял. Пригласил к себе в качестве помощников присяжного поверенного одесситов Григория Александровича Гольдштейна и Ипполита Ефимовича Лермана (расстрелян в 1937 году).

Во время своей адвокатской деятельности он вел имущественные дела церковных организаций, несколько раз выступал в качестве защитника в политических процессах.

С 1907 по 1912 год — помощник юрисконсульта Александро-Невской лавры Василия Соколова.

После Февральской революции 1917 года принимал участие в возрождении Партии народных социалистов.

С 1918 года — член Духовного собора и юрисконсульт лавры.

Весной 1918 года на Петроградском епархиальном съезде духовенства и мирян был избран комиссаром по епархиальным делам «для представительства и защиты общих прав и интересов» Петроградской епархии.

Ковшаров, ранее защищавший революционеров от царского правительства, теперь защищал Церковь, её служителей и имущество от новой власти. Он активно препятствовал закрытию церквей. Такое противодействие Ковшарова антирелигиозной политике властей не оставалось незамеченным.

Был среди членов правления Общества православных приходов Петрограда и губернии, которые выступали за компромисс с властями по вопросу о помощи голодающим. 6 марта 1922 года сопровождал митрополита Вениамина в Смольный на переговоры об изъятии церковных ценностей с членами комиссии «Помгола» Петроградского Совета, на которых представителям Церкви удалось достичь консенсуса с «Помголом».

В марте 1922 года был арестован и с 10 июня 1922 года был одним из основных подсудимых на Петроградском «процессе по делу о сопротивлении изъятию церковных ценностей».

Характеризовался как человек умный, убеждённый, решительный. По словам протопресвитера Михаила Польского, Ковшаров, «с первой же минуты процесса, ясно предвидевший его неизбежный финал, давал на поставленные ему вопросы хладнокровные, меткие по смыслу и часто едкие по форме ответы». В своём выступлении подробно разобрал доводы обвинения, виновным себя не признал и закончил словами: «Для братской могилы в шестнадцать человек материала для обвинения мало» (обвинение требовало 16 смертных приговоров).

Был приговорён к смертной казни. Расстрелян вместе с митрополитом Вениамином (Казанским), архимандритом Сергием (Шеиным) и профессором Юрием Новицким.

Реабилитирован посмертно постановлением Президиума Верховного суда РСФСР 31 октября 1990 года.

Причислен к лику святых как новомученик в 1992 году на Архиерейском соборе Русской Православной Церкви.

Born in 1878 in Odessa in the family of a tradesman [1].  Mikhail Ivanovich Kovsharov;  his grandfather, Ivan Ivanovich Kovsharov, was the most significant Odessa icon painter and interior designer of the 2nd third of the 19th century, among his works - painting of the Odessa Transfiguration Cathedral and the palace of M. S. Vorontsov.

While studying at the law faculty of Novorossiysk (Odessa) University, he studied church law with Alexander Ivanovich Almazov, and Roman law with Mikhail Yakovlevich Parchment.  The latter for oratory was called Odessa Chrysostom.  Perhaps his personality influenced the choice of Kovsharov after graduating from the university as a lawyer.

After graduating from university in 1903, he served as an assistant attorney in Odessa.  According to some data [1], he participated in the political processes of the Bolsheviks and anarchists on the side of the defense.

In 1906 he moved to St. Petersburg.  In the capital, Kovsharov served as an assistant to the attorney Xavier Ivanovich Valitsky.

In 1908, he was registered as a sworn solicitor at the Metropolitan Commercial Court.

Since 1911, he was a sworn attorney of the St. Petersburg District of the Trial Chamber [Comm 1].  Kovsharov did not lose touch with Odessa lawyers.  He invited to his place as assistant sworn attorneys of the inhabitants of Odessa, Grigory Alexandrovich Goldstein and Ippolit Efimovich Lerman (shot in 1937).

During his advocacy, he led the property affairs of church organizations, several times acted as a defender in political processes.

From 1907 to 1912 - assistant to the legal adviser of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra Vasily Sokolov.

After the February Revolution of 1917, he took part in the revival of the Party of Popular Socialists.

Since 1918 - a member of the Spiritual Cathedral and legal adviser of the Lavra.

In the spring of 1918, at the Petrograd Diocesan Congress of the clergy and laity, he was elected Commissioner for Diocesan Affairs "to represent and protect the common rights and interests" of the Diocese of Petrograd.

Kovsharov, who had previously defended the revolutionaries from the tsarist government, now defended the Church, its ministers and property from the new government.  He actively prevented the closure of churches.  Such opposition by Kovsharov to the anti-religious policy of the authorities did not go unnoticed.

He was among the members of the board of the Society of Orthodox Parishes of Petrograd and the province, who advocated a compromise with the authorities on the issue of helping the starving.  On March 6, 1922, he accompanied Metropolitan Benjamin to Smolny for negotiations on the seizure of church property with members of the Pomgol commission of the Petrograd Soviet, at which Church representatives were able to reach a consensus with the Pomgol.

In March 1922 he was arrested and from June 10, 1922 he was one of the main defendants at the Petrograd "trial in the case of resistance to the seizure of church property."

Characterized as a smart, convinced, decisive person.  According to Protopresbyter Mikhail Polsky, Kovsharov, “from the very first minute of the process, clearly foreseeing its inevitable ending, he would give answers to the questions posed to him in cold-blooded, accurate in meaning and often caustic in form”.  In his speech, he examined in detail the arguments of the prosecution, pleaded not guilty and ended with the words: “For the mass grave of sixteen people there is not enough material for the prosecution” (the prosecution required 16 death sentences).

He was sentenced to death.  He was shot along with Metropolitan Benjamin (Kazan), Archimandrite Sergius (Shein) and Professor Yuri Novitsky.

Rehabilitated posthumously by a decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the RSFSR on October 31, 1990.

He was counted as a new martyr in 1992 at the Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church.

John Mark Dougan

Born

John Mark Dougan December 15, 1976 (age 42) Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.

Residence Moscow, Russia

Nationality American

Occupation Chief Executive Officer

Employer Badger Aero

Known for Fleeing to Moscow, Russia to evade FBI

Criminal charge Unauthorised Access of a Computer (Hacking)

Website https://badvolf.com/

John Dougan (Russian: Джон Марк Дуган) is a former police officer who fled the United States for Moscow, Russia to obtain political asylum in 2016. Dougan was running a website that had been critical of Ric Bradshaw, the sheriff of Palm Beach County, Florida. Dougan fled after his home was raided by law enforcement authorities on March 14, 2016.[1]

Dougan stated that after the raid on his home, the FBI was following him and his family, so he decided to flee the country. He wore various disguises and snuck into Canada to avoid U.S. Customs, which he suspected had him on a no-fly list. Dougan then took a flight from Toronto to Istanbul, and boarded another flight to his final destination, Moscow, Russia.[2]

In 2009, Dougan started his website, PBSOtalk.org, and began making public records requests based on tips from readers and anonymous posters on the website. In 2012, he received information and public records, that the elected Sheriff of Palm Beach County was using taxpayer money to take campaign contributors, some with ties to organized crime. After filing a complaint with the Florida Commission on Ethics, the Sheriff was cleared "because he didn't know it was a violation of the law." However, the Commission stated the money he used to take those people to dinner was "inconsistent with the proper performance of his public duties".[3]

Shortly after the ethics complaint was filed, the Chief Deputy of Palm Beach County filed a lawsuit against Dougan [4] after the Sheriff's office tried unsuccessfully to purchase the web site from Dougan.

In what was billed as a digital election-day dirty trick the night before the November 2012 elections,[5] an email was sent out to the A-list of voters in Palm Beach County from BurtAaronson.com, a domain owned by Dougan. The email stated that BurtAaronson.com no longer endorsed the Sheriff as a candidate and instead endorsed the other candidate in the race. The real Burt Aaronson, who was, at the time, a county commissioner, stated he was outraged and had no knowledge of the email. He accused Dougan of identity theft, and attempted to have Dougan arrested. The Palm Beach County State Attorney's office, however, determined since Dougan owned the domain, he was legally justified in using it, however, called the email "outrageous conduct," further saying that laws have not kept up with mischief that can be wreaked on the Internet.[5]

In 2015, Dougan obtained and posted a collection of audio recordings of a Palm Beach County detective speaking to an unidentified woman. The recordings revealed targeted retaliations and investigations against the Sheriff's political enemies, including Dougan, that speak critically of the Sheriff.[6] The FBI and Palm Beach County raid on Dougan's home was motivated by the posting of these audio files, which was deemed to be wiretapping. The other reason listed on the warrant was for suspected hacking, and posting of names, of thousands of names, addresses and phone numbers of law enforcement officers, judges and FBI agents, though the property appraiser claimed nothing was ever hacked.[7] Dougan claimed it was merely a reason to seize his computers and attempt to locate the sources of his information as well as to shut down his web site.

2016 Election Claims[edit]

During the 2016 U.S. Presidential elections, Dougan falsely claimed to have played a role in the leak of emails from the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign.[8]

The rush to smear Assange’s rape accuser

The rush to smear Assange’s rape accuser

Despite a lack of credible evidence, WikiLeaks supporters -- including Naomi Wolf -- lash out at the alleged victim BY KATE HARDING

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, which has made public about 500,000 classified U.S. files on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, holds a news conference at the Geneva Press Club in Geneva, November 4, 2010, the day before the United Nation's Human Rights Council examines the U.S. human rights record in its universal periodic review programme. REUTERS/Valentin Flauraud (SWITZERLAND - Tags: MEDIA POLITICS IMAGES OF THE DAY)(Credit: © Valentin Flauraud / Reuters) You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to find the timing of Interpol’s warrant for the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who turned himself in to British authorities today, curious. The charges — “one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of rape,” according to a statement from Scotland Yard — were brought against him in Sweden last August, yet he suddenly graduated to “most wanted” status just after releasing over a thousand leaked diplomatic cables in late November? It would be irresponsible of journalists, bloggers and average citizens of countries most eager to plug the gushing WikiLeaks not to wonder if those dots connect.

Still, as the New York Times put it, “there is no public evidence to suggest a connection,” which some members of the public seem to find unbearably frustrating. With no specific target for their suspicions and no easy way to find one, folks all over the blogosphere have been settling for the next best thing: making light of the sexual assault charges and smearing one of the alleged victims.

By Sunday, when Keith Olbermann retweeted Bianca Jagger’s link to a post about the accuser’s supposed CIA ties — complete with scare quotes around the word “rape” — a narrative had clearly taken hold: Whatever Assange did, it sure wasn’t rape-rape. All he did was fail to wear a rubber! And one woman who claims he assaulted her has serious credibility issues anyway. She threw a party in his honor after the fact and tried to pull down the incriminating tweets. Isn’t that proof enough? The only reason the charges got traction is that, in the radical feminist utopia of Sweden under Queen Lisbeth Salander, if a woman doesn’t have multiple orgasms during hetero sex, the man can be charged with rape. You didn’t know?

As of today, even Naomi Wolf — Naomi Effin’ Wolf! — has taken a public swipe at Assange’s accusers, using her status as a “longtime feminist” to underscore the absurdity of “the alleged victims … using feminist-inspired rhetoric and law to assuage what appears to be personal injured feelings.”

Wow. Admittedly, I don’t have as much experience being a feminist as Wolf has, but when I see a swarm of people with exactly zero direct access to the facts of a rape case loudly insisting that the accusation has no merit, I usually start to wonder about their credibility. And their sources.

Wolf links to exactly one, an article in British tabloid the Daily Mail. “Using a number of sources including leaked police interviews,” writes Richard Pendlebury, “we can begin to piece together the sequence of events which led to Assange’s liberty being threatened by Stockholm police rather than Washington, where already one U.S. politician has called on him to executed for ‘spying’.” Well! A reasonable person might be skeptical of information coming from a single anonymous source via a publication known for highly sensationalized reporting, sure, but in this case, there are a number of them.

That Daily Mail article also helped to inspire a Dec. 3 Gizmodo post in which Jesus Diaz boldy asserted, “While you can say Assange is a douchebag for not putting a condom on and continuing after the woman requested he use a condom, there was no rape accusation in both cases.” The other source for that claim was an AOL News article that relied on (hey, look!) the same Daily Mail piece, a Swedish tabloid, and statements from Assange’s lawyers to cobble together a theory of what happened and why Assange was charged. Rock solid!

To Diaz and Gizmodo’s credit, they quickly posted an update upon learning that the Swedish prosecution office had “issued a notice saying that they are charging Assange with rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion.” Diaz added, “Obviously, this is now a completely different issue altogether. Rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion are extremely grave accusations. This is not the ‘sex by surprise’ accusation that was discussed before.” (I don’t know that I’d go as far as “a completely different issue altogether” — Feministe’s Jill Filipovic wrote a terrific explanation of why “sex by surprise” actually is a pretty big deal — but good on him for acknowledging that much.) Still, the notion that consensual, unprotected sex equals rape in Sweden (despite millions of Swedish fathers walking around free today) continues zipping around the Internet. One wonders if today’s statement from Swedish authorities, which elaborates that Assange is accused of “using his body weight to hold [a woman] down in a sexual manner” and having intercourse with a sleeping woman, among other things, will even slow them down.

OK, so maybe the charges really are for rape-rape, but still — the woman has CIA ties! I’ve read that on at least a dozen blogs! Keith Olbermann tweeted it and everything! That’s got to be coming from a highly credible source, right?

Actually, as far as I can tell, the only source for that claim is an August Counterpunch article by Assange fanboys (seriously, they recast him as Neo of “The Matrix”) Israel Shamir and Paul Bennett. Here’s the most damning evidence Shamir and Bennett have compiled against Assange’s accuser:

1) She’s published “anti-Castro diatribes” in a Swedish-language publication that, according to an Oslo professor, Michael Seltzer (who?), is “connected with Union Liberal Cubana led by Carlos Alberto Montaner,” who reportedly has CIA ties. Let me repeat that: She has been published in a journal that is connected with a group that is led by a guy with CIA ties. Says this one guy.

2) “In Cuba she interacted with the feminist anti-Castro group Las damas de blanco (the Ladies in White). This group receives US government funds and the convicted anti-communist terrorist Luis Posada Carriles is a friend and supporter.” That link goes to an English translation of a Spanish article noting that at a march last spring, Posada “wander[ed] unleashed and un-vaccinated along Calle Ocho in Miami, marching alongside” — wait for it — “Gloria Estefan in support of the so-called Ladies in White.” Apparently, it’s “an established fact” that Posada and the Ladies also share a shady benefactor, which means he should clearly be called a “friend” of the organization, and this is totally relevant to the rape charges against Julian Assange, because the accuser once interacted with them in some manner.

3) The accuser is a known feminist who once wrote a blog post about getting revenge on men, and “was involved in Gender Studies in Uppsala University, in charge of gender equality in the Students’ Union, a junior inquisitor of sorts.”

Are you kidding me? That’s what we’re basing the “CIA ties” meme on? An article that reads like a screenplay treatment by a college freshman who’s terrified of women? Actual quote: “[T]he Matrix plays dirty and lets loose a sex bomb upon our intrepid Neo. When you can’t contest the message, you smear the messenger. Sweden is tailor-made for sending a young man into a honey trap.”

Look, for all I know, Assange’s primary accuser does have CIA ties. Perhaps it was all a setup from the beginning. Perhaps she is lying through her teeth about the rape. Anything is possible. But in the absence of any real evidence one way or another, we’re choosing to believe these guys? Or at least this guy at Firedoglake, who says he’s “spent much of [his] professional life as a psychiatrist helping women (and men) who are survivors of sexual violence” — giving his post a shiny veneer of credibility, even though it’s a pure regurgitation of Shamir and Bennett’s — but segues from there into an indictment of the accuser’s post-rape behavior. She socialized with her attacker again! An expert like him can tell you that real victims never do that.

The fact is, we just don’t know anything right now. Assange may be a rapist, or he may not. His accuser may be a spy or a liar or the heir to Valerie Solanas, or she might be a sexual assault victim who now also gets to enjoy having her name dragged through the mud, or all of the above. The charges against Assange may be retaliation for Cablegate or (cough) they may not.

Public evidence, as the Times noted, is scarce. So, it’s heartening to see that in the absence of same, my fellow liberal bloggers are so eager to abandon any pretense of healthy skepticism and rush to discredit an alleged rape victim based on some tabloid articles and a feverish post by someone who is perhaps not the most trustworthy source. Well done, friends! What a fantastic show of research, critical thinking and, as always, respect for women. K

The Milwaukee Journal: Typical Yankee City in Russia Described

The Milwaukee Journal

Monday April 13, 1959.

Stockholm, Sweden - UPI - The big, shining American automobile drew up outside the "Texas Bar". A tall man in an ivy league suit got out and sauntered in to the dimly lit saloon.

"A sweet martini," he ordered.

"Nyet," snarled the barman.' "No American would drink a sweet martini. Now start all over again."

"Well, how about a Scotch on the rocks?"

Maj. Per Lindgren writing in I the Swedish military journal; "Contact With the Armed Forces." says this is the sort of thing' that happens every day in the; "typically American" town of Winniza, USSR.

30,000 Inhabitants

For Winniza, Lindgren says, is Russia’s top school for Soviet spies scheduled for assignment in the United States.

Russian spy training in Winniza. a tightly guarded town of 30.000 inhabitants in the central Ukraine, is the most efficient m the world.' Lindgren says "Nobody graduates until they are completely Indoctrinated into the American way of life," he said. Some of them spend up to 13 years there before their big chance comes." ,

According to Lindgren;

• About 1,000 students from Russian universities are sent there ever year. The town is surrounded by barbed wire. Guards patrol the boundaries and "ordinary" Russians are not allowed entry.

• All cars are American made. Bars and drugstores abound, jukeboxes blare out American jazz and rock & roll at all hours. Glamor girls put on burlesque shows.

• Instructors act as barmen, waiters, hotel receptionists and shop hands. Every mistake is corrected on the spot. Every kind of American accent is taught. History strictly from the American angle, is pumped into the students.

• They learn how to make telephone calls, how to order theater tickets in Boston, how to talk authoritatively on baseball. There is a special course on Hollywood with special emphasis on the seamier side of life there.

• Students have to put themselves m the place of middle class Americans defending United States foreign policy.

• They're [taught] ... to drive under American regulations - and how to react if pulled up by a traffic officer. Chewing gum machines adorn the sidewalks. The movie theaters show only American pictures. Poker is the only card game allowed.

Sources Not Revealed

Lindgren did not disclose his sources for the article, but he I said. ‘Allied counterespionage is well aware of Winniza's existence "

He added that the Allies also* knew about the Russian school 'for female spies at Marienburg, in Saxony, East Germany.

He said the Marienburg center was camouflaged as a dancing and gymnastic school and the "girls who graduate from there go to work mainly in West Germany where American military personnel are stationed.*'

They are the best looking women available, perfectly trained in everything from make-up to swearing in "Americancse" Lindgren said their most important course was "the art of seduction." but they also learn to dance the newest Americans and Latin steps.

Lindgren said Marienburg's best known graduate was beautiful Irmgardt. She got five years in jail in 1950 for trying to get secrets from an American member of the Berlin espionage bureau.

Rus Spy Center is Copy of U.S. Town

Daytona Beach Morning Journal

April 13, 1959

STOCKHOLM (AP) — The Russians are training more than 1,000 top students for spying In America at a center in the Ukraine constructed as an exact copy of a small American town, a Swedish army Journal said yesterday.

The Journal — called "Contact with the Army" said the students In the Soviet spy center of Winniza live the life of an average American student. They have their meals In snack bars or restaurants which could as well have been situated in New York, Chicago or San Francisco. The menu lists only American dishes.

The account gave these details:

The motion picture theaters in Winniza show only Hollywood movies and the stories sell only U. S. made articles. The students drive Fords or Chevrolets by U. S. traffic rules. They study the history of the US. in original American school books and they talk about baseball and the latest scandals.

The first stage in the training Is devoted entirely to studies of American dialects which they must be able to speak perfectly.

"The only genuine thing in this American city in the Ukraine is the high barbed wire fence that surrounds it," the army journal said.

"The pupils In this spy school are hand picked from the best students In Soviet universities. Western Intelligence services estimate the number of students at Winniza at between 1.000 and 1,300."

The training goes on for years, "in some cases even 10 years.*' "Then, when these agents go to the States—either in a legal way as diplomats or In other ways— they are ready at once to fill their mission."

Fords and Chevrolets honk under a movie marquee advertising a western.Blue notes from a cocktail lounge mingle with the blare of bebop from a drugstore jukebox. "A hamburger and a Coke," says the man in a Tennessee drawl, scuttling onto a lunch-counter stool. It might be Tupelo or Tuxedo Junction—but it is actually Vinnitsa in the Ukraine. The existence of a top-secret finishing school for Soviet spies, made in an exact copy of a small American town, has long been a fantasy of fiction writers, but has also been taken quite seriously as a possibility by U.S. counterintelligenee.

Last week, in the Swedish military journal Contact with the Army,Swedish Major Per Lindgren, a man well regarded as a Soviet analyst,pieced together the available evidence about Vinnitsa. Hand-picked from the most promising Russian university students, the 1,000 "citizens" of Vinnitsa, he reports, lead American lives from morning to night for as long as ten years. They master American dialects,learn American history from U.S. textbooks, gossip about American movie stars, and swap hot-stove-league baseball statistics.

"Everything in Vinnitsa down to the smallest detail is pure American."says Major Lindgren. "The bar serves American drinks, and the restaurant American food. The movies are Hollywood-made, and the stores sell everything from ready-made clothing to chewing gum." The only authentic Communist touch is the high, barbed-wire fence that seals Vinnitsa off from the rest of Russia.

BEATTY. This is Morgan Beatty bringing you News of the World.

Tonight, in the headlines. The big story.

Two American tourists have uncovered Russia's deepest espionage secret.

Last free word from Vannitsa the secret city within a city.

It's a model American town to train cadres for Americans espionage or takeover.

Russians refuse any word on the vanished men.

...

And the news tonight, exclusive with News of the World, begins with the most fantastic spy story on record, all about the model American town operated by the Russian Soviet espionage system. Two American tourists have uncovered Russia's deepest espionage secret.

The men's names are Harvey C. Bennett of Bath, Maine, age 26, postgraduate student, who has been trying to make up his mind whether to become a teacher of the Russian language or a Foreign Service officer.

The other man is Mark Kaminsky, same age. who was to have started teaching, presumably the Russian language because he knows it well, at Purdue University this fall. On his application to visit Russia, Bennett reported he was going for education: Kaminsky, that he wanted to study and visit relatives.

Now, the exclusive part of the story--and an answer to how these young chaps might have run afoul of suspicious Russian police, could well be the men didn’t even know what was going on.

For years intelligence agents have been hearing about a town within a city in Soviet Russia, in the Ukraine, and I have touched on it before now. The barbed wire and high fence hides a complete model American town and it’s reported to be the city of Vinnitsa. The last word from these men before they got into trouble came from Vinnitsa, the town with the high board fence, and a deep Soviet secret. Bennett wrote Mrs. Bennett that they had had car trouble but would soon cross the border westward. The next word from the men came from other American tourists early in September. Kaminsky was at a border station. He told an American acquaintance that he was in trouble. Since then, nothing. And the Russians won’t say anything except that they have no information and when they got, it they will give it to the American Embassy.

The Russian anxiety to accuse Americans of spying has obviously caught them on a rough international wicket. They may well have two innocent Americans who unwittingly have exposed the Russian plans for the long-distance future to take over the United States. And that would never do.

Let me explain.

The model American city has long been suspected, as we have said, but nothing came to public light about it until a highly respected Swedish Army officer, Maj. Per Lindgren, set himself to the task of separating fact from fiction. He doesn’t tell how he did it. But in an article in the Swedish military journal named “Contact With the Army,” the Major made an exposure that startled all intelligence agencies because it indicated the Russians had plans for taking over major countries of the world. And one of their plans, called the American plan, centered in Vinnitsa.

The Major pieced together various intelligence reports, came up with this statement, “Everything in the town within Vinnitsa is pure American. The bar serves American drinks, the restaurant, American food. The movies are Hollywood made and the stores sell everything from ready made clothes to chewing gum. Fords and Chevrolets drive through the streets. Blue jazz notes blare from the cocktail lounge, mingle with the blare of jukebox bee-bop in the drug store. Ana all the dialects of the United States are spoken by the young Russians who inhabit this town within a town. The order, a hamburger with a coke, is as familiar as it is in Waterloo, Iowa, or McKeesport, Pa.

Major Lindgren reported that the town has 1,000 inhabitants, all in training to know everything American intimately so they may be used for spies or for the cadres who ultimately might take over our country. The courses in Vinnitsa’s classrooms—some of them are 10-year courses. All the students are handpicked Russian university students, with a special mission.

Could it be the boys in the car touring Russia unwittingly stumbled onto the secret of Vinnitsa, or even took pictures, or were suspected of taking pictures. Certainly no Russian can be found who will tell the truth.

And maybe this explains a little conversation in New York between Nikita Khrushchov and NBC’s Joe Michaels, who has served for several years in Russia. Khrushchev was holding forth great length to American reporters in Park Avenue about how free people were in Russia and how Americans could come any time and have the run of the country.

Michaels remembered the reports about the two American tourists. He spoke up. But what about the American tourists who were arrested for taking pictures! Khrushchev turned on Joe Michaels and said, “You are an evil man. I will not answer any more of your questions.”

That’s the story. Back in a moment, with the way the Little Khrushchev of Cuba does business and more News of the World. (Break.)

News of the World with Morgan Beatty, NBC, October 20, 1960

Page 708:

NEWS OF THE WORLD WITH MORGAN BEATTY, NBC, OCTOBER 20, I960

BEATTY. This is Morgan Beatty bringing you News of the World.

Tonight in the headlines:

The big story: The case of Mr. Khrushchev and the two American tourists.

Nikita escapes the charge of preparation for war on his borders— expedient, confiscating the pictures of Mark Kaminsky.

And after they are free to tell the truth he loads the world with his lies and cites Cuba as the star in his crown and the gold traders of Europe help him with his case.

...

Those are the headlines. In a moment the news. (Break.)

And the news tonight is the curious pose of the Soviet dictator, Nikita Khrushchev, before the world.

And the case of two young Americans who returned home after one of the most mysterious spy trials in all history.

Mr. Khrushchev’s pose was the same as ever except that he combined saber rattling and peaceful coexistence by claiming—and the U.S. Navy agrees with him—that the Russians have atomic sub¬marines. Khrushchev said not how many. The Navy says three. We have 20, going on 30.

But here is the stance of the Soviet leader in his homecoming speech. An old stance in new words. First, the Communist countries have unheard of means of exerting influence on the capitalist countries and even of compelling them to disarm.

And point 2. Again disagreeing with his Red Chinese pals. A nuclear war would be unthinkable. Nations will not perish in such an adventurous war. And only adventurers can think that a change in the social system can be achieved by unleashing a war among the states.

Now what can the man mean rattling rockets and preaching against nuclear war at the same time. We must look at the hard fact. The man stands by his demand for a veto in the Security Council of the United Nations, and another and paralyzing veto to prevent the United Nations from intervening in a chaotic situation.

As we say in geometry, we now look for that which was to be proved, Q.E.D.

I submit tonight that a symbol of that proof is the arrival in the United States or two young American tourists by the name of Mark Kaminsky, the Michigan schoolteacher, and his friend, Harvey C. Bennett, a man about to make up his mind to become a Foreign Service officer with the State Department.

We have already told you how these young men were arrested after passing through Vinnitsa, the American model town in the Ukraine. How they admitted they took pictures for a book Kaminsky was writing for an American foundation. The Soviets carefully put them on trial, sentenced Kaminskv to 7 years for spying, then suddenly turned him loose. They reported Bennett had turned state’s evidence them on trial, sentenced Kaminsky to 7 years for spying, then suddenly turned him loose. They reported Bennett had turned state’s evidence and denounced Kaminsky.

Well they arrived home today. Kaminsky denied he was a CIA agent. He admitted he was taking pictures that would have shown the preparations for war on the Soviet borders facing west where the West has openly charged the Soviets keep 75 divisions at the ready. He indicated there are far more soldiers and military installa¬tions in the border zone, than there are civilians and farms and towns. Yes; he took the pictures and Bennett agreed he took the pictures.

Now here’s the Q.E.D. The Soviets held these men long enough and searched their car thoroughly enough to be sure they had not made away with any of their pictures. But did they hold a great spy trial in full view of klieg lights loaded with Western reporters to tell all the details of the evidence? They did not. Neither did they hold the two men and impose on them cruel and unusual punish- ment.

No, you see Mr. Khrushchev was about to pose as a great giver of peace to the world, a man with those upturned clean hands and his obviously pure heart. How could he anord to put two men on the stand before the world who could prove by their testimony, that Mr. Khrushchev was a liar. How could he hold them indefinitely with¬out inviting the charge by the United States, that our Ambassador could not even see these two men who had wandered through the thickets of guns and launching pads and soldiers in uniform. He could not. He took the only way out and turned them loose. They can now tell their story. But they can’t prove it.

Meanwhile he counts on depression or panic. Note the gold buy¬ing in London and confusion—the Congo—and his great star of Latin America to carry his case forward that there’s a new world out there and it’s all his with every man and woman a robot of Com¬munist discipline. Of course he won’t state it that way but well there’s the Cuban story. Back with that and more News of the World. (Break.)

Some noteworthy was the information on the city from the Swedish Major Per Lindgren was otherwise a very reliable source. Major Lindgren (1901-1979) had during World War II served in the Defense Intelligence Division and in recent years the author of several books on espionage and sabotage. As an expert, he assisted Carl Olof Bernardsson when he wrote the classic book Spy police go in (1952) and at the end of his career he wrote together with Bertil Häggman book Industrial Espionage in Sweden and abroad (1975). Overall, he came to write dozens own books in the field. Hägg Lindgren's book Industrial Espionage in Sweden and abroad is available on Google Books. The book is reviewed in including Norrköpings Tidningar ( "When the spy adds puzzle") on 26 November 1975, the Helsingborgs Dagblad December 2, 1975 ( "Overlooked espionage"). "Evening Post has met Sweden's most spy hunter" was published in Malmö newspaper the Evening Post November 30, 1975. Business Economics published in No. 12/1975 review "Warning for industrial spies."

Lite anmärkningsvärt kom uppgifterna om staden från den svenska majoren Per Lindgren som annars var en mycket pålitlig källa. Major Lindgren (1901-1979) hade under andra världskriget tjänstgjort inom försvarsstabens underrättelseavdelning och på senare år författat åtskilliga böcker om spionage och sabotage. Som sakkunnig bistod han Carl Olof Bernardsson när han skrev den klassiska boken Spionpolisen går på jakt (1952) och i slutet av karriären skrev han tillsammans med Bertil Häggman boken Industrispionage i Sverige och i utlandet (1975). Totalt kom han att författa ett dussintal egna böcker inom ämnesområdet. Lindgren-Häggmans bok Industrispionage i Sverige och i utlandet finns tillgänglig på Google Books. Boken finns recenserad i bland annat Norrköpings Tidningar (“När spionen lägger pussel”), den 26 november 1975 och i Helsingborgs Dagblad den 2 december 1975 (“Förbisett spionage”). “Kvällsposten har träffat Sveriges mesta spionjägare” publicerades i Malmötidningen Kvällsposten den 30 november 1975. Affärsekonomi publicerade i nr 12/1975 recensionen “Varning för industrispioner”.

Different Kill List, different site.

In an open display of McCarthyism, Ukraine has pushed out a list of "Speakers who promote narratives consonant with Russian propaganda". This list goes to the SBU to carry out https://thegrayzone.com/2022/04/17/traitor-zelensky-assassination-kidnapping-arrest-political-opposition/ extrajudicial killings] in the areas controlled by Ukraine. It should also be noted that https://www.rebelnews.com/ukrainian_president_volodymyr_zelensky_bans_11_opposition_parties Zelensky has banned 11 parties,] suspended https://theweek.com/russo-ukrainian-war/1011528/zelensky-nationalizes-tv-news-and-restricts-opposition-parties opposition media], and https://mronline.org/2022/07/22/how-corrupt-is-ukrainian-president-volodymyr-zelensky/ shown to be corrupt] in a number of ways.

So it's to call out their critics as "Russian propagandists" while asking for their extrajudicial murder. Ukraine has a https://www.nationandstate.com/2022/06/09/award-winning-canadian-journalist-eva-bartlett-on-ukraine-kill-list-as-canadian-government-does-nothing/ Kill List along with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4-1qhGvbu4 Germany doing the same for their journalists

So with that context out of the way, let's get into the https://archive.ph/MmDHJ Ukraine List]:
