Ukraine Now Admits ‘Ghost of Kyiv’ Was ‘Essential’ Propaganda to Boost Morale.

Chalk up another victory for the ‘conspiracy theorists’.

1 May 2022

he ‘Ghost of Kiev’ or ‘Ghost of Kyiv’ was one of the most oft-repeated stories in the early part of Russia’s war with Ukraine. Western media outlets, television anchors, politicians, and Ukraine flag-in-bio-bros unsparingly littered social media outlets with tales of a secret, super-pilot who was knocking dozens of Russian jets out of the sky.

At the time, anti-war skeptics suspected the tales were pure propaganda or “disinformation”, only to be ruthlessly dismissed as “Putinistas” or similar in the early days of the conflict.

Now, as claims that the ‘Ghost of Kiev’ is dead, Ukraine’s own government as well as military social media accounts and historians are accepting that he never really existed.

“The ghost of Kyiv is a superhero-legend, whose figure was created by Ukrainians!” the nation’s military’s Telegram account announced this week.

“The #GhostOfKyiv is alive, it embodies the collective spirit of the highly qualified pilots of the Tactical Aviation Brigade who are successfully defending #Kyiv and the region,” the Air Force added on Twitter.

Ukrainian military historian Mikhail Zhirohov told the BBC the Ghost of Kiev story was simply “propaganda for raising morale”.

“It’s essential to have this propaganda, because our armed forces are smaller, and many think we can’t be equal to them [the Russians]. We need this in wartime,” he admitted.

The news follows the announcement of the death of Major Stepan Tarabalka, 29.

Tarabalkan was killed in combat on 13 March and honoured with a Hero of Ukraine medal posthumously. Some maintain that Tarabalka was the actual Ghost of Kiev, and that the new claims that he never existed are in fact a way to keep morale up in the face of one a significant loss. Nonetheless, the Ukrainian Air Force now denying that anyone downed up to 40 Russian planes would certainly be a bizarre and disrespectful move if indeed Tarabalka came anywhere close to the legends associated with him.

WHO'S GOING BANANAS OVER BDS AT HARVARD?

GUESS WHO? "The Israel lobby is freaking out, or one of its pillars if flipping out. Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League clearly sees his role as a spokesperson for Israel. I thought his job was antisemitism-watch? Greenblatt says the editorial is antisemitic in effect (as a Harvard president once said)."

Jonathan Greenblatt says what? "This @thecrimson editorial endorsing #BDS is beyond disturbing. Contrary to its claims, endorsing BDS does nothing to help Palestinians & only serves to delegitimize Israel’s existence, and isolate & intimidate the Jewish community, especially on campus."

BDS IS A REAL THREAT TO ESTABLISHMENT/PRESTIGE DISCOURSE: "Greenblatt has a thread on the editorial, because it represents a real threat to the establishment/prestige discourse. He and I know that supporting BDS may now become a fad."

WHO CARES ABOUT THE EIGHT PALESTINIAN CHILDREN KILLED THIS YEAR?

JONATHAN GREENBLATT DOES NOT, BUT THE STUDENTS AT HARVARD CRIMSON DO: "…But the simple answer is that Jonathan Greenblatt doesn’t care about the eight Palestinian children killed this year. The Crimson does. And so do more and more Americans."

Socialized medicine has a long history with big plans behind it.

German Interior Minister Nancy Fasser has made recommendations to citizens to stock up on food for 10 DAYS!!!

As the war in Ukraine rages and market and supply chain concerns grow around the world, Germany's interior minister has called on the country's citizens to take precautions to prepare for a crisis. "Consider, for example, THE POSSIBILITY OF CYBER ATTACKS ON IMPORTANT INFRASTRUCTURE" she told the Handelsblatt newspaper.

"If the power goes out for a long period of time or daily life is limited in some other way, then it clearly makes sense to have an emergency supply at home."

In this context, Nancy Fasser referred to a list published by the German Civil Protection, which presents an example of emergency food supply.

German Interior Minister: We have to have food for 10 days

"The goal is to be able to survive for ten days without going shopping," said the German interior minister. An example of food that, according to the minister, could meet the needs of a person for ten days, is presented in the following list:

Drinking liquids: 20 liters

Cereals, cereal products, bread, potatoes, pasta, rice: 3.5 kg

Vegetables, legumes: 4 kg

Fruits, nuts: 2.5 kg

Milk, dairy products: 2.6 kg

Fish, meat, eggs or whole eggs powder: 1.5 kg

Fats, oils: 0.375 kg

At the same time, the minister stressed the importance of Civil Protection, to which he gives "high priority".

"We must step up now to deal with the various crises - pandemics, the effects of climate change, the dangers of war," said the German interior minister. necessarily. This affects not only technical issues, "but also supplies for food, medicine or medical supplies," she said.

The minister also referred to the shelters, saying that an inventory is currently being made and that there are still 599 in Germany. "And there are shelters that are used differently today. "It makes sense to reactivate some of them," she said.

The awful advent of reactionary chic

Michelle Goldberg

1 May 2022

David Brock, the conservative journalistic hit man turned Hillary Clinton acolyte, described how he first became a reactionary in his 2002 book “Blinded by the Right.” He’d arrived at the University of California, Berkeley, at the dawn of the Reagan era as a Bobby Kennedy-worshipping liberal but grew quickly alienated by the campus’s progressive pieties.

“Rather than a liberal bastion of intellectual tolerance and academic freedom, the campus was — though the phrase hadn’t yet been coined — politically correct, sometimes stiflingly so,” he wrote.

A formative experience was seeing a lecture by Ronald Reagan’s U.N. ambassador, Jeane Kirkpatrick, shut down by left-wing protesters. “Wasn’t free speech a liberal value?” he asked. The more Mr. Brock challenged the left, the more he was ostracized, and the more his resentment pushed him rightward.

By the time he got to Washington, where he became an influential conservative journalist, he’d developed what we might now call an “edgelord” sensibility. He traveled to Chile to write a defense of murderous dictator Augusto Pinochet. “I was flippantly engaging in the extremist one-upmanship that characterized not only me, but many young conservatives of the era,” he wrote.

Of course, not just that era. The dynamic Mr. Brock described — extremist one-upmanship meant to scandalize hated left-wing persecutors — is a major driver of right-wing cultural innovation. That’s why stories about the American New Right (also called the dissident right, national conservatism and neo-reaction) seem so familiar, even if the movement’s ideology is a departure from mainstream conservatism.

Last week, Vanity Fair published James Pogue’s fascinating look at the American New Right’s constellation of thinkers, podcasters and politicians, many funded by Peter Thiel, a tech billionaire who once wrote that freedom and democracy are incompatible. It’s hard to summarize the scene’s politics; a milieu that includes both the aggressively anti-cosmopolitan Senate candidate J.D. Vance of Ohio and the louche hipster podcast “Red Scare” doesn’t have a coherent worldview. What it does have is contempt for social liberalism and a desire to épater le bourgeois.

“It is a project to overthrow the thrust of progress, at least such as liberals understand the word,” Mr. Pogue wrote. One of the movement’s leading intellectual lights is Curtis Yarvin, a blogger who sees liberalism as creating a Matrix-like totalitarian system and who wants to replace American democracy with a sort of techno-monarchy.

According to Mr. Pogue, the movement “has become quietly edgy and cool in new tech outposts like Miami and Austin, and in downtown Manhattan, where New Right-ish politics are in, and signifiers like a demure cross necklace have become markers of a transgressive chic.” This might be an overstatement, but it’s pretty clear that there’s cultural energy in the opposition to the progressive norms and taboos that are derisively called “wokeness.”

BuzzFeed News writer Joseph Bernstein captured this energy in a March article about an anti-woke New York film festival funded by Mr. Thiel and headed by a Black queer provocateur named Trevor Bazile. “Call it, if you must, a vibe shift: a new generation of internet-native tastemakers — like many of the people crowded into Mr. Bazile’s party — who find the moralistic gatekeeping of millennials all a bit passé,” wrote Mr. Bernstein.

This vibe shift was predictable; when the left becomes grimly censorious, it incubates its own opposition. The internet makes things worse, giving the whole world a taste of the type of irritating progressive sanctimony Mr. Brock had to go to Berkeley to find. As a result, an alliance with the country’s most repressive forces can appear, to some, as liberating.
