The day after the 2020 election, the Trump campaign asked data analyst Ken Block to investigate allegations of voter fraud. He was a registered Republican at the time. His company, Simpatico Software Systems, was was paid more than $700,000 for the work.

He later wrote, "In the swing states, just a tiny handful of dead votes were cast. The Trump campaign looked extensively at this issue. I know this because they paid me to do the research."

"We examined every mail ballot vote in the swing states looking for dead voters. We found a couple of dozen...not enough to change a result anywhere. The handful of prosecutions for this crime that I know of in Pennsylvania were committed by Republicans."

Far too little discussion that the main assistance given to Russia this year came from the United States.

Russia was on the ropes, with oil prices heading into 40's, Ukraine getting enough interceptors. Then Trump suicided US and other nations' weapons supplies, sent oil prices soaring and took sanctions off Russia just long enough for them to sell off the record amount of stranded floating crude oil at top prices.

Now Kyiv is bring freely devastated, 24/7 massacres and the US whining about Ukraine hitting ships on the Black Sea.

Trump is purely Putin's dog.

Take a close look at these two photos.

Thirty years ago, in 1996, on this day, August 31, russia and Chechnya signed a peace agreement. Russia had failed to destroy Chechen independence by force, so it signed a “peace agreement.”

Three years later, in 1999, russia invaded again.

Russia used the three year peace to prepare for revenge. Chechnya was devastated by war, economically isolated, politically destabilized, and largely abandoned by the outside world. Moscow portrayed Chechnya as a failed state and exploited their weaknesses.

When russia returned, it finished what it had failed to accomplish in the first war.

This is why neither Ukraine nor any other country of the world can trust russia to uphold a ceasefire or peace agreement. A ceasefire that allows russia to rebuild its army while Ukraine is pressured to demobilize, Western military support declines, and the world gradually moves on is simply an intermission before the next, even more devastating war.

Ukraine needs peace. But it needs a peace that leaves Ukraine strong and russia unable to attack again. History has repeatedly shown that Moscow interprets weakness as an invitation. The only language russia understands is the language of force. Without strength and credible deterrence, today’s peace agreement can become tomorrow’s preparation for another war.

Im Wahlkreisbüro von Hans-Thomas Tillschneider steht eine Tasse der russischen Armee. Der AfD-Politiker spricht von einem Geschenk und weist Kritik zurück. Die Veröffentlichung eines Podcasts dazu wollte er dennoch stoppen. https://t.co/v1BfJV4i2E

Sachsen-Anhalts AfD-Vize Hans-Thomas Tillschneider wollte verhindern, dass wir dieses Video veröffentlichen: In seinem Wahlkreis-Büro zeigte er mir - wohl in einem unbedachten Moment, mehr oder weniger aus Versehen - eine Tasse der russischen Armee. Er merkte offenbar, dass dies nicht zu seinem Image als Friedenspolitiker passt - und schickte seine Anwälte los. Wir veröffentlichen diese Aufnahmen natürlich trotzdem, weil sie sehr tief blicken lassen und zeigen, dass der ideologische Kopf von Ulrich Siegmund, der Vater des Programms der Landes-AfD, und ein selbsternannter deutscher Patriot, offenbar ein Verehrer der russischen Streitkräfte ist. Die ganze Video-Reportage bei Youtube auf dem Ronzheimer-Account!

👕 Has the future arrived? Germany has come up with a shirt that can “hide” a person from AI cameras

Berlin artist Simon Weckert has unveiled Digital Camouflage — a bright Hawaiian shirt with a pattern designed to interfere with computer-vision systems trying to recognize a person.

To the human eye, it just looks like colorful clothing. But algorithms such as YOLO rely on visual cues like the outline of the head and shoulders, body proportions and overall silhouette. Weckert’s pattern is designed to disrupt those cues, causing the system in some tests to stop recognizing the wearer as a person.

The artist himself does not claim that the shirt makes someone invisible to every camera. The project is more about demonstrating the vulnerabilities of AI-powered surveillance.

And yes, this is the same Weckert who in 2020 created a fake traffic jam on Google Maps by walking down the street with a wagon full of smartphones.

It only took 28 Russian terror attacks in Germany for Berlin to finally admit it's Russia.

Unsere Solidarität gilt Stefan Thumann.

Der Gründer des bayerischen Drohnenherstellers Donaustahl liefert Waffen und Drohnen an die Ukraine. Dafür soll Russland seine Ermordung geplant haben. Heute lebt er mit 24 Stunden Personenschutz an ständig wechselnden Orten.

Dass ein deutscher Unternehmer sich in Deutschland vor russischen Agenten verstecken muss, weil er zur Verteidigung der Ukraine und Europas beiträgt, ist ein Angriff auf uns alle.

Deutschland und Europa dürfen sich davon nicht einschüchtern lassen.

Wir müssen unsere Industrie schützen, unsere Verteidigungsfähigkeit stärken und der Ukraine weiter den Rücken freihalten. 🇩🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦

Cu Pahonțu demascat că e securist se reconfirmă că România e ca Rusia, dar cu o spoială de democrație datorată UE. Nu e greu de imaginat ce ar fi România fără UE, mai ales pentru cei care au trăit comunismul. Cine nu l-a trăit, să nu-și dorească vreodată să afle cum ar fi.

By choosing "de-escalation" tactics, NATO turned Article 5 into a Schrödinger's cat. So long as the decision box stays closed, NATO is both willing and unwilling to react.
Now it seems like Putin might force us to open the box and find out what's inside.
