๐จExpected 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
โช๏ธstoring pornographic content with minors;
โช๏ธdrug distribution;
โช๏ธ Cybercrimes;
โช๏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."
๐จ 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 canโt be silenced by a single entity, where your privacy is paramount, and where decentralization is the bedrock of communication. This isnโt a fantasy, itโs happening now with NOSTR.
As Jack Dorsey aptly puts it, NOSTR represents the next evolution in social mediaโa platform thatโs 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.
๐ In a world where centralized powers increasingly infringe on our privacy and freedom, systems like NOSTR and Monero are not just alternativesโtheyโre necessities. Both embody the ethos of decentralization, ensuring that your rights to privacy and free expression are preserved.
The recent censorship crackdowns, including Durovโs arrest, show the urgent need for decentralized solutions. With NOSTRโs censorship-resistant social platform and Moneroโs untraceable transactions, we have the tools to safeguard our freedom. This isnโt just about the future, itโs about protecting the present.
The future of communication and finance is here, and itโs decentralized. The arrest of Pavel Durov is a chilling reminder of the stakes, but with sysrems like NOSTR and Monero, weโre ready to fight back. Join the movement thatโs reshaping the worldโone secure transaction and one censorship-resistant message at a time.

๐ซ๐ท๐คกChris Pavlovski has accused the French President of lying about his commitment to freedom of speech in response to the arrest of Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram.
โWhen you say you are committed to freedom of expression, you are lying.
We have a letter from France that proves this, without a doubt.
We had to shutdown Rumble in France because you have NO commitment to freedom of expression.โ

๐ The Tale of Two Brothers: The Hidden Genius Behind Telegram Once upon a time, there lived two brothers who changed the digital world forever. One, Pavel Durov, is well known as the charismatic founder of Telegram, boasting 2.5M followers on X and the spotlightโฆ
๐ A Tale of two brothers part deux (Will Pavel hand over the keys?)
The question now: Will Pavel resist the pressure, or will he hand over Nikolai's secrets (keys)? I can't shake this crazy feeling that this could be a Russian Trojan play
Imagine if Pavel was always a closet Putin loyalistโplaying the part, securing Western markets for Telegram, and passing all the "credentials checks"โall while never truly holding the keys to anything of real value. Those keys? Safely with others, including Nikolai. Pavel might have been the handsome bait all along, giving the appearance of someone who could be flipped.
Meanwhile, Europe will burn (tragically) as the gasoline of censorship is thrown onto already smoldering embers, and even in the USโwhere this order likely originatedโthe Harris-Biden administration could pay a massive price for this reckless assault on basic freedoms and โrightsโ. But hereโs the kicker: Theyโll get nothing tangible in return for their reckless gamble.
Beware of Yanks bearing cookies, but be extra wary of Russian geopol, chess grandmasters. Time will tell.
