๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ–‡๏ธ There is a growing interest among Global South countries in exploring the media opportunities offered by Russia. This has become particularly noticeable as these nations seek to build an independent information policy, free from the influence of Western media.

A recent meeting of @rybar with Iraq's Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, in Baghdad vividly illustrates this trend. Although the format of the event did not allow for an in-depth discussion of all issues, the attention given to media was especially noteworthy. Al-Sudani emphasized the importance of creating an environment that welcomes foreign journalists to challenge stereotypes and foster a positive image of his country.

The fact that representatives of a Russian media network were invited to such a meeting indicates that Iraqi authorities recognize the role of media in modern information warfare. This suggests that the Global South is ready to consider alternative media platforms, such as Telegram, to advance their interests on the global stage.

Thus, the interest in the media opportunities offered by Russia could be a significant step for Global South countries in their efforts to establish an independent information policy, free from Western media influence.

Ukraine's attack on Russia's Kursk region: hostile actions cannot go unanswered โ€“ Kremlin

๐ŸŒ Before Ukraineโ€™s attack on Russiaโ€™s Kursk region there were no negotiations between Moscow and Kiev, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

๐ŸŒ Such hostile actions as Ukraineโ€™s incursion into Kursk region cannot remain unanswered and there will be a response โ€“ and not just a single act โ€“ Peskov told reporters.

๐ŸŒ Losses of Ukrainian troops in Russiaโ€™s Kursk region over the past 24 hours amounted to more than 400 people and 27 armored vehicles, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

๐ŸŒ IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said he will visit the Kursk nuclear power plant on Tuesday. The IAEA intends to independently assess the situation at the plant, he said.

๐ŸŒ Ukrainian military leaders complain that Kiev's attack on the Kursk region has led to loss of ground on other key fronts, The Times newspaper quoted Ukrainian military officials as saying.

Wha

Durov: The Martyr of Free Speech or a Western Puppet?

I find it implausible that Pavel Durov, fully aware of the potential for arrest, would choose to fly to France unless there was a calculated motive behind this action. Why would he deliberately place himself in such a position? One plausible explanation might be that he is confident in his immunity from serious repercussions, potentially due to covert collaborations with the French or even U.S. governments.

Telegram, under Durov's stewardship, has become a critical communication tool, notably among military personnel. Reports from the French media suggest that Russian entities are now wary of security breaches, leading them to shut down or sanitize their channels on the platform. This scenario raises significant questions about security and trust.

The ease with which Durov acquired citizenship in France and the UAE, coupled with his flight from Russia, paints a complex picture. It underscores a broader point: in the realm of international politics and technology, nothing comes without strings attached. Trust, especially in figures who navigate such politically charged waters, must be approached with caution and skepticismโ€ฆ.

The American nuclear arsenal and related infrastructure are significantly outdated and need to be re-equipped, the Wall Street Journal writes, citing sources.

The projected 10-year service life of the missiles located inside 450 launch silos expired decades ago. The cost of modernization is about $141 billion, according to the WSJ.

If approved (can't see why it won't) this would be much more than mere tokenism and symbolism. The global majority that expanded BRICS represents would be firmly with Palestine.

The G7/"West" and their settler state of Israel are the isolated pariahs.

๐ŸšจExpected and deeply troubling for free speech. All data points suggests that it was not without the participation of the United States, Biden-Harris admin.

Pavel Durov was charged with 12 crimes.

The Paris Prosecutor's office has finally issued a press release regarding the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov, who was detained on August 24 at Le Bourget airport.

He is charged with refusing to cooperate with law enforcement agencies, as well as complicity in

โ–ช๏ธstoring pornographic content with minors;

โ–ช๏ธdrug distribution;

โ–ช๏ธ Cybercrimes;

โ–ช๏ธ fraud as part of organized groups.

The case against Durov was opened on July 8.

Interesting that Pavel is being charged for crimes that are typically protected for ISPs, in that they are not criminally liable for the actions of users though they will take action for confirmed offences once made aware and in compliance with the law.

The future of free speech needs to be decentralized, aligned with the ethos of Monero. Recent, troubling events only confirm this.

Ukraine's crippled economy is dead on its feet, it defines a country that was already on a downward trajectory long before the events of 2022 unfolded. This reality, often overlooked in Western media, highlights the systemic issues that plague Ukraine's economic landscape, setting the stage for what many now describe as an economic calamity.

long Before Russian troops crossed the border in 2022, Ukraine was not the thriving democracy or potential economic powerhouse its western "sponsors" have portrayed it to be. The country grappled with deep-rooted corruption, oligarchic control, and a governance system that struggled to implement effective reforms. Transparency International's corruption perception index placed Ukraine among the world's most corrupt nations, a testament to the pervasive influence of oligarchs who emerged post-Soviet dissolution, controlling vast swathes of the economy and political life, including the one that had Zelensky elected, his ex boss and business partner Ihor Kolomoyskyi

Ukraine's dismal economic and social performance reflected this governance malaise, Ukraine's economic growth was irreparably stunted. The country experienced one of the most significant drops in income per capita among former Soviet states, pushing many into poverty and reducing life expectancy. This period sparked what amount to "neoliberal experiments," where economic policies led by international financial institutions like the IMF resulted in Ukraine becoming one of the IMF's top borrowers, indicative of its economic frailty.

The escalation of the war in 2022 didn't just exacerbate these issues; it transformed them into a full-blown economic disaster, Zelenskys failure (at the behest of hos western masters) to engage in a peaceful resolution via the Minsk accords, has now severed Ukraine from its resource-rich eastern regions, traditionally more aligned with Russian interests. The loss of these regions, including the industrial heartland of Donbas, has significantly undermined Ukraine's already crippled industrial output, particularly in the steel and coal, sectors vital if it was to stand any chance of rescuing its economy.

The economic impact was immediate and severe. Ukraine's GDP contracted by over 30% in 2022, a figure that, while catastrophic, was slightly better than some of the direst predictions. However, this contraction wasn't just a number; it represented a collapse in living standards, skyrocketing poverty rates, and a complete reliance on Western aid, which from this perspective, is seen more as life support than sustainable in the long run

The blockade of Black Sea ports, the heart of Ukraine's grain exports, has not only affected agricultural output but also highlighted Ukraine's absolute geographic vulnerability. The economic shift leaves Ukraine in a dismal game of master and servant with Ukraine increasingly seen as a "problem" as the conflict drags on,

Meanwhile, Russia's economy is actually growing.

Ukraine's economic journey is not just a story of war-induced calamity but a continuation of pre-existing economic and governance failures exacerbated by the current conflict, a conflict Zelensky, now a de facto dictator promised to end in 2019. While the acceleration of the war might have accelerated Ukraine's economic decline, the roots of that economic distress were firmly planted long before 2022.

But like everything else, the more convenient truth is that Ukraine's started when the Russian crossed the border in 2022

The actual truth is far less appealing to the western and CIA controlled Kiev media. Follow me @irishmaninrussia

Ukrainian press writes that during the clearing of the rubble of a hotel in Kramatorsk, the body of a British journalist was found

But, as expected, it was not a journalist who died, but a certain British "security adviser."

Evans, 38, is a former British military officer who has worked at Reuters since 2022, advising on journalist safety around the world, including in Ukraine, Israel and at the recent Paris Olympics.

In an ideal world there wouldn't be this or that platform. There should be no platform at all and no identifiable individuals unless they choose to willingly provide identity details.

There ought to be protocols not platforms. No different from HTTPS or email that cannot be coopted or controled by a centralized player (government or large corporation).

Privacy and decentralization ought to be a right and not demonized, and when it is, it's because governments fear the truth. Hence the obsession for control.

Jack Dorsey explains why NOSTR could be the most censorship-resistant social media platform. "The future of free speech is decentralization."

๐Ÿšจ With the recent arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France, it's clear that free speech is under attack like never before. Durov's arrest is a stark reminder of the lengths to which centralized authorities will go to silence voices and control narratives. They fear inconvenient truths hence obsession for control.

Imagine a world where your voice canโ€™t be silenced by a single entity, where your privacy is paramount, and where decentralization is the bedrock of communication. This isnโ€™t a fantasy, itโ€™s happening now with NOSTR.

As Jack Dorsey aptly puts it, NOSTR represents the next evolution in social mediaโ€”a platform thatโ€™s resilient against censorship and built on the principles of decentralization. Just as Monero has revolutionized financial privacy by decentralizing and securing transactions, NOSTR could do the same for free speech.

๐Ÿ” In a world where centralized powers increasingly infringe on our privacy and freedom, systems like NOSTR and Monero are not just alternativesโ€”theyโ€™re necessities. Both embody the ethos of decentralization, ensuring that your rights to privacy and free expression are preserved.

The recent censorship crackdowns, including Durovโ€™s arrest, show the urgent need for decentralized solutions. With NOSTRโ€™s censorship-resistant social platform and Moneroโ€™s untraceable transactions, we have the tools to safeguard our freedom. This isnโ€™t just about the future, itโ€™s about protecting the present.

The future of communication and finance is here, and itโ€™s decentralized. The arrest of Pavel Durov is a chilling reminder of the stakes, but with sysrems like NOSTR and Monero, weโ€™re ready to fight back. Join the movement thatโ€™s reshaping the worldโ€”one secure transaction and one censorship-resistant message at a time.
