Context #AdvocacyUKInstituteForStrategicDialogueISD "Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, jurisdictions and tech platforms around the world have taken steps to prevent or limit the spread of Russian propaganda internationally. There is, however, an additional constraint hampering the efforts of Russia and its supporters in spreading disinformation: language. This Dispatch investigates a coordinated network of volunteers working to translate existing Russian-language propaganda and disinformation about the war in Ukraine into over a dozen languages. This includes content from pro-Kremlin influencers, particularly the controversial Ukrainian blogger Yuri Podolyaka, as well as Russian state media sources. The volunteers, who have branded themselves 'Info Defense', operate Telegram channels for each of the target languages. They also administer specifically-branded Info Defense accounts on YouTube, and disseminate their content across the major international social media networks through a multitude of smaller accounts. The significance of this network is at the base level in which it functions : a grassroots, relatively decentralised and cost-free network for the translation and distribution of propaganda. This model may appeal to both state- and non-state actors seeking to promote narratives and content to international audiences, and is likely to pose a challenge for platform content moderation efforts.... In a video message promoting the newly formed translation network, Podolyaka elaborated on the role which he saw himself and his supporters playing in support of Russia's war in Ukraine. He spoke at length about the way in which media coverage and information about the war in Vietnam helped to deplete domestic support for the war in the US, ultimately leading to the US's defeat and retreat from Vietnam. According to Podolyaka, if the public in Western countries only knew that Russia was really fighting against evil Nazis in Ukraine, they would force their governments to abandon the fight, as they did in Vietnam. 'This is the truth that they want to hide from their societies, and our task is to bring this truth to them,' he said." https://www.isdglobal.org/digital_dispatches/the-info-defense-network-crowdsourcing-soldiers-for-the-information-war/ #IRLYouTuberYuriPodolyaka #2022_InvasionOfUkraine #PhenomnPropagandaDisinformation #ToponymEuropeUkraineDonbasDonetskPeoplesRepublicDPR #ToponymEuropeUkraineDonbasLuhanskPeoplesRepublicLPR #HandleTelegramTheEyeOfTheStormTEOS #HandleTelegramTheNodeOfTime #VlogCommonsence7885 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-Wjx44gRwQ #NarrativeWarAmericaVietnam #NarrativeDenazification #MetaphorDeceitLugenpresseMainstreamMediaMSM #NMRURussiaTodayRTMargaritaSimonyan #PhenomnTalkingPointsRussian #OrgSyndicateAccordNetworkDecentralised #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson

The network's successes are still sporadic - a few tweets have reached viral influencers, and a few dozen videos on YouTube channels have garnered significant followings - but, for the first time, its content has had measurable reach. Moreover, the audiences it has reached are widespread and include influencers in Latin America, Pakistan, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. Combined with the sheer scale of the network, and the fact that it has reconstituted itself after repeated takedowns, these features mark Spamouflage as a persistent and increasingly assertive online presence with a limited but growing ability to engage real users." https://graphika.com/reports/spamouflage-breakout #PhenomnSpamouflageDragon Elise Thomas, Albert Zhang and Jake Wallis (2020).

#WebsiteHuffPostAmandaTerkel "In his 10-minute speech to the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington on Thursday, Scott kept saying the word 'woke' in that same cringeworthy way some people are still using 'da bomb.' (You know who you are.) 'Americans in flyover country have had absolutely enough of this woke elitist nonsense.' 'The woke left wants all of that gone. They want to end the American experiment. They want to replace freedom with control.' 'Democrats know they can't win with their crazy woke ideas.' 'They're going to say I'm not woke enough, and I'm not serious.' For what it's worth, no one is going to say Scott is not woke enough, because anyone who could be considered woke - i.e., someone who cares about injustice and inequality - likely isn't using that word anymore. But indeed, Scott might face some questions about how serious he is." https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/senator-rick-scott-woke-progressives-left_n_6245e32fe4b068157f74946b #AdvocacyUSTheHeritageFoundation #MetaphorWarfareUnderAttack #NarrativeWarOf1812USUK ^[Wikipedia] #NarrativeWarWWI #NarrativeWarWWII #NarrativeWarKorean #NarrativeWarAmericaVietnam #PoliticsCommunismColdWar

Context #MagazineUSRollingStoneEJDickson ^[Muckrack] "In 2021, there's a simple formula for becoming a cancel culture martyr, and it's essentially as follows: One, make a tone-deaf remark or faux pas betraying your ignorance of your own privilege; two, lose your job or be publicly reprimanded over said offense; three, get a centrist or right-leaning columnist or public figure with a large platform to take up your cause, persuading their audience to rally behind you as an unwitting sacrifice on the altar of hyper-wokeness. ... In a resignation letter to Smith College President Kathleen McCartney, which was published by writer Bari Weiss on her Substack newsletter, Shaw, who is white, rails against what she views as Smith's 'dehumanizing' climate with respect to race relations, citing mandatory diversity trainings and the encouragement of diverse hiring practices as 'evidence' of such a climate. The first instance she cites is an incident in which a black college student accused a security officer of racial bias after the officer questioned her for eating her lunch in a residential hall, calling her 'out of place.' Although Shaw was not even tangentially involved in this incident, she apparently found it traumatic enough that she cites it in her letter as an example of college initiatives to '[dismantle] the supposed [italics ours] racism that pervades the campus,' which 'only served to support the now prevailing narrative that the incident had been racially motivated and that Smith staff are racist.' The rest of the letter, as published on Weiss' Substack, regurgitates basic anti-cancel culture talking points; in short, it reads like a Facebook post written by your uncle who voted for Obama, then started watching way too much Bill Maher. Shaw paints a portrait of Smith as a Marxist gulag in which free thought is punished (in her case, that free thought being not wanting to complete mandatory diversity trainings), and those who divert from the standard narrative are brutally castigated. ... At first blush, Shaw doesn't seem ill-intentioned so much as an out-of-touch white person struggling to navigate current liberal orthodoxies, which may warrant some degree of sympathy, if not mild amusement (if only for the rap part). But a rebuttal statement from Smith College President Kathleen McCartney indicates that she is actively trying to financially profit from the free speech martyr narrative she is currently peddling. In her letter, Shaw says she turned down a large settlement from the college in exchange for her silence, but McCartney disputes that, writing, 'it was the employee herself who demanded payment of an exceptionally large sum in exchange for dropping a threatened legal claim and agreeing to standard confidentiality provisions.' Fortunately for Shaw, she appears to have gotten her money's worth: A fundraiser to help her with living expenses has raised more than [USD] $214,000, proving that one of the quickest routes to success in the age of social media is to publicly and dramatically claim you've been canceled." https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/jodi-shaw-smith-college-bari-weiss-rapping-librarian-1132010/ #CatchcryCancelCulture #MetaphorMartyr #EDUUSSmithCollegeKathleenMcCartney #NewspaperDEBrdshtDieWeltBariWeiss ^[Wikipedia] #WebsiteTheFreePress #TheoryMarxism #PowerControlUnfreeLabourGULAG #PhenomnUnconsciousBiasTraining

Truth to power. Or, as the New York Times motto has it, telling it straight, 'without fear or favor'. But when Scott Pelley did exactly that by telling CBS, his own workplace of more than three decades, what he thought it needed to hear, they axed him. Rather than hearing the truth that Pelley spoke in a staff meeting on Monday, rather than taking it seriously and vowing reform, the bosses treated his remarks as grounds for dismissal. He was fired on Tuesday 'for cause'. And, as a result, 60 Minutes - the admired, lucrative and top-rated Sunday evening news program - will never be the same. Pelley has been the most prominent correspondent on that show in recent years, and its public-facing heart and soul." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jun/04/scott-pelley-60-minutes-firing #TVParamountGlobal60MinutesScottPelley #IRLJournalistWalterCronkite #NarrativeWarAmericaVietnam #1972_WatergateScandal #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSRichardNixon #PhenomnTacticSpeakingTruthToPower ^[Wikipedia]
