Leaked papers allege massive UK govt effort to co-opt Russian-language anti-Kremlin media & influencers to ‘weaken Russian state’

For all its alarmism about Russian ‘propaganda’ and ‘misinformation’, the UK government appears to be behind a multi-million-pound push to boost negative coverage of the Russian state, both in Russia and neighbouring countries.

At a European Union summit in November 2017, then-UK prime minister Theresa May announced plans to designate Russia a “hostile” state, and pledged to spend in excess of £100 million over the next five years on tackling the alleged threat of Kremlin “disinformation” internationally.

Now, hacktivist collective Anonymous has released what appear to be internal UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) files that shed significant light on the true purpose, and ominous dimensions, of these vast efforts.

According to the papers, Whitehall has sought contractors to covertly infiltrate media and civil society at multiple levels – all under the aegis of schemes to, among other things, improve literacy, promote cultural activities, ensure “balance and plurality” in media reporting, and counteract propaganda.

Supporting anti-Kremlin media

One of these contractors, Zinc Network (more on them later) explained in its pitch documents that it was in the process of “delivering audience segmentation and targeting support for two of Russia’s leading independent media outlets – Meduza and MediaZona”.

The former is a Russian-language online newspaper and news aggregator based in Riga, Latvia. The latter is an investigative platform focused on Russia’s judicial, law enforcement and penal system, founded by two members of controversial punk rock band Pussy Riot.

As the pair “[lacked] the expertise and tools” to “promote content effectively to new audiences”, Zinc was working diligently to ensure their output reached as many eyes and ears as possible. In the process, the contractor conducted “weekly mentoring sessions with specialists from the outlets”, “adjusting their editorial and commercial strategy accordingly” and creating “common framings of issues.”

Prior to the release of these documents, any suggestions that Meduza and MediaZona – which both consistently publish content highly critical of the Russian state – were not only privately coordinating to ensure a consistent editorial line, but receiving assistance from the UK government to do so, would surely have been dismissed as Russian propaganda, conspiracy theory, fake news, or worse.

It seems likely Meduza’s relationship with Whitehall, direct or indirect, conscious or unconscious, extends far further than this collaboration. Several contractors reference the outlet in the leaked files, in relation to numerous other FCDO-funded and directed projects.

For instance, in pitch documents submitted by another contractor, Albany, Meduza is mentioned alongside ETV+, which is the Russian-language service of the Estonian broadcaster; Latvia’s LTV, Lithuania’s LRT Re:Baltica – the website of the Baltic Centre for Investigative Journalism – and other Russian-language platforms as a potential “long-term partner”, for which “new programming” could be funded and developed.

UK and Canada sanction Myanmar generals for ‘human rights abuses’ as hundreds of protesters arrested amid military coup

Foreign affairs officials in Canada and the UK have announced new sanctions on senior Myanmar military figures on Thursday over alleged human rights abuses against people protesting the ongoing army-led coup.

Both nations will sanction Myanmar's Minister of Defense General Mya Tun Oo over the military's crackdown on protesters and Home Affairs Minister Lt General Soe Htut for his responsibility over the police's actions. Deputy Home Affairs Minister Lt General Than Hlaing is the third person named under the new penalties.

The UK has sanctioned 19 military officials in total over the coup, and Canada, 54 individuals.

The British sanctions impose asset freezes and travel bans on the three named individuals, with the Foreign Office saying the measures are aimed at preventing aid reaching the ruling military junta. Canada's measures also effectively freeze the assets of those targeted.The US has also imposed sanctions on Myanmar's generals and canceled some $42 million in aid to the country.

The military detained Myanmar's State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi and other elected officials on February 1, seizing power and declaring a one-year state of emergency after claiming that the country's elections in November were rigged.

Protests have erupted across the Southeast Asian country and around 495 local political leaders, activists and protesters have been arrested, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP).

On Thursday, a group called the Myanmar Hackers also reportedly disrupted websites run by the military in response to internet access being blocked in the country for a fourth straight day.

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Says Math, Showing Your Work, Correct Answers Are Racist

Asking students to show their work and find the right answer is an ‘inherently racist practice’

As Bill and Melinda Gates aggressively push for the vaccination of the entire world population against COVID, their non-profit organization is pouring millions of dollars into an educational program that espouses the elimination of racism in mathematics.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the most influential non-profit groups in the world, is pushing a radical new program that allegedly purges math curriculum of racist practices. Some of those racist practices include showing your work and arriving at the correct answer.

The curriculum was conceived by a conglomerate of 25 educational organizations called A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction. There curriculum makes it clear that they believe asking students to show their work and find the right answer is an “inherently racist practice.”

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the only donor listed on the organization’s homepage.

In fact, over the past decade, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded over of $140 million to a variety of groups associated with Pathway. Their “antiracist resources” are at the epicenter of a new training course for teachers offered by the Oregon Department of Education throughout the state.

Three of the most prominent organizations receiving grant money from the Gates’ are The Education Trust, Teach Plus, and WestEd, all non-profit 501c organizations.

The Education Trust, a group out of California, release Pathway’s antiracist “toolkit,” this past September. They have received $86 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, including a June grant award of $3.6 million.

Teach Plus, whose board members include former US Rep. George Miller (D-CA), and Obama administration Secretary of Education John King Jr. (who is also president of The Education Trust), received more than $27 million.

WestEd, a nonprofit whose mission statement says it is tasked with dismantling “systemic barriers” in schools, has received over $35 million from the Gates’ foundation since 2009.

Additionally, a group calling itself UnboundEd, dedicated to the “disruption of systemic racism” in the classroom, received roughly $14 million in grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation since 2015.

The Foundation has awarded smaller but no less significant sums of grant capital to other groups behind the Pathway.

‘Mission creep?’ Police ‘recommend’ keeping razor-wired fencing around Capitol until September, cite ‘threats against lawmakers’

Washington, DC, police are calling for razor-wire-topped fencing around the US Capitol to be kept in place until at least September because they continue to hear of threats against lawmakers in the aftermath of the January 6 riot.

US Capitol Police have notified congressional leaders of their fencing recommendation, the Associated Press reported on Thursday, citing anonymous officials with the department. The threats include “online chatter” about extremist groups possibly coming to Washington in the weeks ahead. Police said the physical barrier is needed as a physical barrier to prevent a repeat of the Capitol riot.

There has been no clear indication of the basis for suggesting that massive crowds of protesters intend to return to Washington and threaten physical harm to politicians or anyone else. The fence was erected the day after the riot, and more than 25,000 National Guard troops were summoned to Washington from across the US to help seal off the city's government district for President Joe Biden's January 20 inauguration.

Although the violent protests that were predicted for Inauguration Day didn't occur, the National Guard has kept about 7,000 troops in Washington and plans to still have 5,600 in mid-March to continue bolstering security. Acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman called last month for installing permanent fencing and implementing other security measures, raising concerns over the aesthetic and symbolic appearance of indefinitely walling off a government from its people.

“Right on schedule, police officials anonymously say the ridiculous barbed-wire fence surrounding the Capitol must stay in place till at least September..,” journalist Michael Tracey said. “Are you familiar with the concept of mission creep?”

But some Democrats, such as Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, have spoken out against long-term fencing around the Capitol. Eleanor Holmes Norton, a non-voting member of Congress who represents the District of Columbia, introduced a bill this week seeking to prohibit Capitol fencing from being made permanent. She said the Capitol needs to be secured without walling it off “like a fortress that needs to be protected from the people we represent.”

The Disturbing Parallels Between 2021 America And 1932 Germany

Actress Gina Carano became one of the highest-profile celebrity victims of cancel culture last week, when she was dropped from The Mandalorian, fired by Disney, and dumped by her talent agency. As most people know, Carano’s fatal error was believing she still lived in a society with genuine freedom of expression. Carano’s message was straightforward: Americans are being taught to hate one another, in a manner that disturbingly evokes Germany prior to World War II.

Disney denounced Carano’s post as “abhorrent,” and swiftly kicked her off the show. Reporting on the incident has invited passive bystanders to believe Carano said something anti-Semitic, when of course her post was the exact opposite.

Carano’s post was clumsy, the kind routinely seen from Baby Boomers posting on Facebook. But Carano’s post was ultimately much closer to reality than even her defenders realize. America’s political situation right now carries disturbing similarities to Germany just before the Third Reich. And it isn’t people on the right who resemble Nazis.

But first, a couple things this article is not:

-This is not a rant about “Weimerica.” There are essays claiming that America resembles pre-Nazi Germany based on the rise of transgenderism, a decline in sexual morality, or other social trends. Whether that comparison is valid or not, this essay is focused purely on political culture.

-This is not a shrill claim that “Democrats are Nazis,” that Republicans are treated on par with Jews in Nazi Germany, or anything of the sort. Instead, this is an effort to point out the worrisome and growing parallels between the political culture of late Weimar Germany, and the political culture that America is embracing with more fervor every day.

For decades, the rallying cry against the Holocaust has been “never again.” But “again” will only be “never” if we take care to understand what the precursors to politically-motivated atrocities look like, and stop them before they grow too severe.

Politicizing Everything

To the Nazi Party, everything was political. The party subordinated ever sector of society and every human endeavor to its broader political and social agenda. Recent breakthroughs in physics such as the theory of relativity, achieved substantially by Jewish physicists, were labeled Jüdische Physik (“Jewish physics”), and rejected in favor of Deutsche Physik (“German physics”). Christianity was marginalized through the promotion of Nazi-aligned “Positive Christianity.”

And of course, the Nazis were very interested in the ideological state of art. Well before seizing power, the Nazis founded their own party film office and wrote about film’s propaganda value. After taking power, they founded the Reichsfilmkammer, which controlled employment in the film industry. Membership was mandatory for any who wanted to work in the movie industry, thereby ensure total ideological conformity. No doubt that aspect would resonate with Carano, who besides losing her role in The Mandalorian was also dropped by her talent agency for expressing her views.

The same phenomenon shines through in the America of 2021. Progressives might express shock at how the Nazis politicized the field of physics, and then promptly turn around and assert that mathematics is a part of “white supremacy.” Another example of this happened just days ago:

ORWELLIAN: YouTube censors all videos from an academic conference on the dangers of censorship

An academic conference on media censorship and the dangers of free speech infringements online has, ironically, been censored by YouTube.

The Google-owned video platform decided to pull all videos from the Critical Media Literacy Conference of the Americas 2020 for violating its “community standards,” which include never saying anything bad about censorship.

“At first I thought it was a joke,” said Mickey Huff of Diablo Valley College in California, as quoted by MintPress.

“My initial reaction was ‘that’s absurd;’ there must have been a mistake or an accident or it must have gotten swept under somehow. There is no violation, there was no reasoning, there was no warning, there was not an explanation, there was no nothing. The entire channel was just gone.”

The two-day event featured a number of esteemed speakers and panel discussions about Big Tech censorship and online violations of the First Amendment. So naturally it had to be pulled in its entirety in order to keep We the People from hearing the truth.

“Each video was a different panel and every panel had different people from the other ones, so it is not like there was one theme or person or copyrighted content in all of our videos,” added Nolan Higdon of California State University, East Bay, who was one of the event’s organizers.

“This seems to be an attack on the conference, not on a singular video.”

Big Tech needs to be broken up and publicly run so everyone has a voice

Higdon and his colleagues actually went out of their way to ensure that there was no copyright infringement in any of the talks or panels. Many of them were conducted in lecture format similar to a Zoom call, and included some of the best-known names in media studies.

“This wasn’t a keg party with Parler users: It was an academic conference,” Huff explained, noting that the event was sponsored by reputable schools like Stanford University and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

“These are pioneering figures in critical media literacy scholarship. It’s mind-numbing that all of this was just disappeared from YouTube. The irony is writ large … This is part of a potentially algorithmic way of getting rid of more radical positions that criticize establishment media systems, including journalism.”

Google reportedly told MintPress that it has no idea where the missing videos went, and claims they were never even uploaded to YouTube. The company found only one video in its archives and reinstated it.

This explanation does not cut it for Huff or Higdon, though, as the two seem to recognize that corporations like Google and YouTube have become digital tyrants that forcibly control the free-flow of information online to the degree that free speech no longer even exists.

“I don’t think they should have achieved this kind of power over our communication systems in the first place, and these should be publicly run platforms regulated the same way our government regulates and enforces the First Amendment,” Huff commented.

Higdon had much the same to say about the situation, warning that the tech giants have amassed so much power that they are now blatantly trampling the constitutional rights of millions of Americans without consequence.

“By empowering these tech companies to decide what is and is not appropriate, they are going to look out for their vested interests, and people who are critical of their business model and practices are going to be targets,” Higdon says.

“These lefties right now who are advocating for censorship … the outcome of this is going to be on them.”

'They Know All About It': Pentagon Report Details Military Reach of Supremacist Groups

Brandon Russell had a tattoo of a radiation symbol on his arm when he enlisted in the Florida National Guard in 2016.

The three-bladed symbol didn't raise alarms at the time, but should have been a warning sign. Russell was the co-founder of a dangerous neo-Nazi group called the Atomwaffen Division, considered one of the deadliest in the country. The tattoo represented "atomwaffen," which means "atomic weapon" in German.

The soldier was later sentenced to five years in prison after bomb-making materials were found in his Florida apartment. But when he was asked while chatting on the now-defunct Iron March website in 2016 whether he was worried about being "found out" during Army basic training, he gave a troubling response.

"I was 100% open about everything with the friends I made at training," Russell wrote on Iron March, which has been linked to violence worldwide. "They know all about it. They love me too cause im [sic] a funny guy."

The ability for troops with extremist ideologies to serve openly in the military ranks is under renewed scrutiny after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol that left five dead, including a federal police officer. Several veterans, reservists and a National Guard member have been charged for their alleged roles in the mob, and federal prosecutors say some of those people have ties to anti-government groups such as the Oath Keepers.

A 59-page Pentagon report that was submitted to members of Congress in October and obtained by Military.com this week shows the reach some white supremacist groups have in the military ranks. While the number of overall cases is low, the report states that the combination of extremist affiliations and military experience is a national security concern "because of their proven ability to execute high-impact events."

Roll Call first detailed the report's findings Tuesday, saying that the Defense Department is under threat from domestic extremists.

Of particular concern, the report adds, are groups that advocate white supremacy or nationalistic ideologies and want to recruit military personnel or infiltrate the ranks themselves "for the purpose of acquiring combat and tactical experience."

"Military members are highly prized by these groups as they bring legitimacy to their causes and enhance their ability to carry out attacks," the report states.

The military has struggled to assess the scope of the problem of white supremacy in the ranks. Experts testifying before Congress last year noted that the Defense Department had no reliable data on the number of service members or prospective recruits being separated or barred from enlisting over their extremist views.

Rep. Pete Aguilar, a California Democrat, later added language to the annual defense bill requiring the military to study how it screens for extremist views. Aguilar, who sits on the Defense Appropriations subcommittee, told Military.com in an email Wednesday that the report "confirms that white supremacists are using our military not just for training, but to give validity to their causes and even recruit our service members into their organizations."

"We have to do more to stop these hateful extremists from infiltrating our armed services," he said.

Aguilar will introduce legislation this week that, if passed, would require the DoD to act on all seven recommendations in the report. That includes working with the FBI to analyze potential enlistees' tattoos, making security clearance questions more specific, and adding new tracking codes to military separation forms to note extremist ties.

The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) DIRD Report Research

Investigation Status: Ongoing – Last Updated 2/17/2021

Background

In July of 2018, Mr. George Knapp released a leaked version of the 38 reports created under The Aerospace Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). On this, were various, highly scientific and technical reports, by various authors, regarding fusion, advanced propulsion etc. The exact role they played in the AATIP program, is unclear.

On January 16, 2019, Mr. Nick Pope, formerly of the U.K.’s Ministry of Defence (MOD) who ran the “UFO Desk” there, received a similar list of reports, but from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)’s Office of Corporate Communications. At the same time, multiple FOIA requesters, including myself, were sent via postal mail, responses to various requests of the same.

This was my release, sent to me by the DIA, dated January 16, 2019:

There is some confusion on why the lists are different, which to the date of updating this page, that has been unaddressed.

Over the years, I spent countless hours requesting and collecting various scientific reports and research programs. I have taken time to reference my own archive, along with various resources, to cross reference the list of 38 reports to see what is available publicly, what is related and what is of greater interest to get released, as there is nothing in the public domain.

Below, you will find that research. The original numbered list are the AATIP reports. Below that, you will find additional information about the report, author, university, company etc. where available.

Thermonuclear Micro-Bomb Rocket Propulsion [98 Pages, 4.7MB] – The report describes an advanced nuclear rocket propulsion system based on a chain of exploding thermonuclear micro-bombs ignited in front of a concave magnetic reflector open at one side. It is shown that for such a propulsion system to work with ideally high efficiency the following conditions have to be satisfied: the thermonuclear material for the micro-bombs has to be a stoichiometric mixture of He3 and D in solid or liquid form, and the ignition of the micro-bombs has to be accomplished by an intense relativistic electron beam.

TEXAGEDDON: A False Flag Geoterrorist Operation With Multiple Nefarious NWO Goals

Globalist-Directed Geoengineers Aim Their Powerful Weather Weapons at

the Lone Star State to Conduct Covert

Acts of False Flag Geoterrorism

OPERATION DEEP FREEZE

Purposefully Carried Out by NWO

Cabal to Paralyze Texas Patriot Movement and Shut Down Power Grid

Occam’s Razor

Let’s be clear: the deliberate deep freeze of Texas is unparalleled by any standard. There is simply no historical precedent for both the record-breaking cold temperatures and snowfalls so far south in Texas.

With this irrefutable knowledge, Occam’s razor tells us that such a catastrophic weather event was fastidiously geoengineered by all the usual suspects.

How could such an historic weather calamity not be the product of very stealthy weather manufacturing after highly sophisticated atmospheric manipulation?

Take a close look at the weather map below. What it strongly suggests is that the largest ice storm in U.S. history was meticulously geoengineered to blanket the country’s second largest state by area.

Again, the application of Occam’s razor by any geoterrorism sleuth points directly to highly advance weather warfare being waged by the criminal geoengineeers on behalf of their globalist masters.

But why would the New World Order globalist cabal order such a devastating cataclysm?

Because Texas is a very RED state and ready to rumble with the Biden administration—that’s why!

In point of fact, the Abbott administration is prepared to roll out a series of measures and mandates that all serve to reclaim their various long-neglected constitutional state’s rights. The Biden-Harris crime duo know this and are determined to make any pre-emptive strike necessary to thwart those FED-busting Texas government initiatives.
