From Memes to Doxxing: NATO’s Information warfare

Friday, 1 March 2024 — MintPress News

Investigation by Kit Klarenberg

“In November 2023, NATO’s “Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats” published a disturbing ‘working paper,’ “Humour in online information warfare: Case study on Russia’s war on Ukraine.” It received no mainstream attention. Yet, the contents offer unprecedented insight into the military alliance’s insidious weaponization of social media to distort public perceptions and manufacture consent for war. They also raise grave questions about online “trolling” of dissident voices over the past decade and beyond.

The Nobodies Are Worth More Than the Bullet That Kills Them: The Ninth Newsletter (2024)

Thursday, 29 February 2024 — The Tricontinental

Ammar Bouras (Algeria), 24°3′55″N 5°3′23″E #2, 2012.

Dear friends,

Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.

On 20 February, United States Ambassador to the United Nations (UN) Linda Thomas-Greenfield had the terrible job of vetoing Algeria’s resolution for a ceasefire in Gaza.

When the International Court of Justice (ICJ) order on 26 January suggested that Israel’s actions in Gaza amount to a ‘plausible’ genocide, Algeria vowed to take immediate action through the UN Security Council.

Russia’s stunning victory in the battle of Avdeevka and the rout of the Ukrainian military, boosts the credibility of Russia as provider of security for the Central Asian region. The point is not lost on the erudite Central Asian mind that Russia has single-handedly put the NATO on the back foot.
