US officials also claimed that DNC server files were hacked from abroad, altho examination of the metadata (fast transfer rate, timestamps all ending in even numbers) clearly indicates that it was xfeted locally to a USB stick.

US officials blame a lot of people for a lot of things without any credible evidence whatsoever.



Yup. And those same US Officials are trying to control what is information and what is disinformation.

Meanwhile, the idiots on the Left cheer this on because they're hearing what they want to hear.

No doubting what their opinion will be on this when the pendulum swings far enough the other way and the Trump Administration has control over what is information and disinformation in 2024.

My advice to anybody who gives a shit about freedom on either side would to be loud about dismantling that agency before it ever really gets a chance to take off.

Unlike the hypocrites on the Left, I wouldn't want Trump to have control of that any more than Ted would.

You've got nothing, Signym, other than your faith in Russia and your own superior selfhood. Signym, you and 6ix and all the Trump voters I know are daily worshippers at The Church of Their Own Superior Intelligence and Morality. Just like Trump, you guys can't stop praising yourselves and all the members of the Church, except for the members that displeased you for some reason.

How Politics Poisoned the Evangelical Church. (1)

Riveting.

Now some Evangelicals are converting to Putin’s church. (2)

That’s something I learned reading in Tuesday’s issue of Heather Cox Richardson’s always excellent newsletter. (3)

1. https://web.archive.org/web/20220511211540/https://www.theatlantic.com
/magazine/archive/2022/06/evangelical-church-pastors-political-radicalization/629631
/

2. https://www.npr.org/2022/05/10/1096741988/orthodox-christian-churches-
are-drawing-in-far-right-american-converts

Why had a group of conservative American Christians converted to Russian Orthodoxy? These converts had grown disillusioned with social and demographic change in the United States.

3. https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-10-2022?s=r
. . . insistence that “we truly are losing our country to the radical left.” But the argument is not only racial and economic. American evangelicals are converting to the Russian Orthodox Church out of support for its nativism, white nationalism, rejection of LGBTQ rights and abortion, and support for authoritarian Russian president Vladimir Putin. Like him, they object to the diversity inherent in democracy.

And she never has. More troll that contributor. Plus: she knows as an anonymous poster she can lie with impunity. Make up any ole sht. I always thought it must be a thrill for people like her to lie so openly and yet have the cover of anonymity. "I finally get to say any fcking thing I want!" Maybe an upbringing where she was never listened to or her opinion was rarely asked for?

Lefty shill agencies like CNN and The Guardian are figuring this out before you.

They see the winds of change blowing and they're going to start working hard changing the way idiots like you think on the issue, but subtly enough that most of you idiots won't even notice they did it.

It will be funny when you and I and Ted and Cap'n agree on things like censorship once they've reprogrammed you.

The battlefield facts are that Ukraine is winning the war. A brutal and incompetent Russian military has suffered terrible losses; its reserves consist largely of untrained men who would draw on stocks of weapons and ammunition that have been badly maintained or rotted out by corruption. Its generals have proved unable to orchestrate a campaign to gain air superiority or launch concentrated thrusts into Ukrainian territory. And it has acted with unspeakable barbarity in the matters of pillage, deportation, rape, and murder — activities that carry with them the curse of indiscipline as well as criminality.

The Ukrainians are less outnumbered than one might think — they may very well, for example, have more tanks in the theater than the Russians do, in part because of captures. In theory, drawing as they can on a population of 40 million, they can put large armies in the field. Unlike the Russians, they have weapons not likely to be disrupted by sanctions or sheer inefficiency. They also have far more extensive methods for collecting and analyzing intelligence than the Russians enjoy. Their combat motivation is unquestionably higher, and they have shown far greater ingenuity and combat skill than a Russian army that still relies on vast volumes of artillery fire, laying down devastation through which indifferently trained and maintained tanks and infantry-fighting vehicles advance.

As the Ukrainians accumulate more battlefield successes, they will raise their sights. The Russian army, having suffered tens of thousands of casualties and lost much of its frontline equipment, is making what might be its final, convulsive efforts at destroying Ukrainian forces in the south and east of that country. Like their previous efforts, these too will probably fail, and the possibility will open up of Russian routs along their 300-mile-long front line.

Ukraine says it blew up Russian pontoon bridges over a key river — and units trying to cross it

The defense ministry shared images that appeared to show dozens of destroyed or damaged armored vehicles on both banks of the Siverskyi Donets River.

The withdrawal of Russian forces from the Kharkiv Oblast is a tacit recognition of Russia’s inability to capture key Ukrainian cities where they expected limited resistance from the population.

The Ministry says the withdrawn forces "will likely deploy to the eastern bank of the Siverskyi Donets River, forming a blocking force to protect the western flank of Russia’s main force concentration and main supply routes for operations in the vicinity of Izyum."

Security footage shows Russian troops shooting 2 Ukrainian civilians in the back

In additional video footage, the Russian troops can be seen inside the building, shooting into rooms and looking through cupboards. One of the Russians can be seen helping himself to a drink in one of the offices — unaware that he's being filmed until another notices the camera and hits it with the butt of his rifle.

In CCTV video obtained by the BBC, a group of Russian soldiers can be seen approaching the gate of a building along a Kyiv highway. An unarmed Ukrainian security guard, identified by BBC reporter Sarah Rainsford as Leonid Pliats, then approaches the gate, apparently striking up a conversation with the Russians and smoking cigarettes together.

The video shows Russian troops then leaving the area, only for two of them to suddenly turn back and approach the gate again while raising their guns. BBC producer Tony Brown reported that the troops then shot Pliats and his boss "in their backs."

The BBC reported that Pliats' boss was immediately killed in the shooting, but Pliats was able to limp back to an office to hide and call for help.

Two Ukrainian volunteer firefighters eventually arrived and tried to save Pliats, but he died from his wounds, the BBC reported. The firefighters, identified as Sasha and Kostya, told the BBC that they had to wait out the Russians before they could reach Pliats.

Pliats daughter, Yulia Androshchuk, told the BBC that her father "was not a military man at all. They killed a 65-year-old. What for?" she said. "I'm not so much furious as full of grief - and fear. These damn Russians are so out of control, I'm afraid of what they might do next."

You're right,it's not evidence that it didn't happen as described. You STILL don't get my post apparently!

SECOND: You've got nothing, Signym,
No, YOU'VE got nothing, SECOND. That's my point. All you have is the say-so of [government/anonymous/ex/NGO] officials who've been proven to have lied blatantly and prodigiously in the past.

Still, you choose to believe them.

Why?

BTW, I'm not saying Russia didn't hack the power grid. OTOH I'm not saying they did, either. I DONT KNOW. And if you cared about truth, you would have to admit that YOU don't know either.

Stop treating liars' allegations as fact. That's what I did with your posts. You should treat allegations as exactly that: allegations. And treat liars' allegations with even more skepticism.

There is a great deal we don't know. We may have to wait for real evidence. Don't run yourself off a cliff with beliefs and emotions and factoids.
