Mr Cherniak warned that Russian intelligence services are increasingly using disinformation and AI-generated content to fuel instability and advance Kremlin interests in at least 22 African countries.

He noted that Africa consists of more than 50 UN member states, which Russia sees as a large "bank of votes." With its help, the Kremlin can create a so-called opposition bloc on the international stage and the illusion that Russia remains an influential global power, as well as promote the narrative of a so-called "multipolar world."

In addition, Russia gains access to valuable natural resources such as gold, diamonds, uranium, and oil. In particular, the Kremlin is interested in the resource-rich Sahel region.

"When Russians gain access to African deposits of valuable materials, however, they behave like colonial exploiters in the worst sense of the term. This often ends in environmental disaster," Cherniak emphasized.

One AI snapshot informed the photographer is Firooz Zahedi.

The man in yellow staring at the pedophile remains unknown for now.

"Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren, Andy Kim, Chris Murphy, and Jeff Merkley argue this transaction represents a potential conflict of interest at the intersection of foreign policy and personal profit. Aryam Investment 1 acquired a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial for $500m. The agreement was signed on 16 January 2025, just four days before Dummkopf Trumpf's second inauguration. An upfront payment of roughly $187m went to Trumpf-linked entities before he even took the oath of office."

Hi Snoofy:

I worked out of several DIA facilities decades ago, including Bolling AB.

I hope you got one of our calendars from next to the escalators if you came by in December.

I used to send them to my friends in large yellow envelopes as my holiday greetings.

Yes, the man is paying attention to the debauchery to his right, not the Beach Boys concert.

I wonder if AI can tell us if we download the image into one of the many nefarious systems out there.

Speaking of which, AI PACs threw $20m into the NYC primary races, seemingly more than AIPAC.

What an effin' country we have.

*** OHCHR: Israel Committing Genocide by Deliberately Targeting Palestinian Children in Gaza ***

All three of NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's (D) endorsements won their primaries today.

State Assemblymember Claire Valdez and former City Comptroller Brad Lander cruised to victories on Primary Day.

Darializa Avila Chevalier, eked out a tight win over incumbent Rep. Adriano "AIPAC" Espaillat, who Hakeem Jeffries endorsed.

Below, two good eggs who will work well together for NYC, a Muslim and a Jew.

Perhaps one day the popular Brad Lander will replace the unliked brontosaurus, Chuck Schumer.

Hi AU

And we had great part time jobs in the 1970s and 1980s: bookstores, department stores, music stores, mom and pop shops, etc.

I didn't know anybody who worked at McD's, KFC, or other fast food joints.

School debt wasn't an issue and NYC was affordable. After graduation, I did not need a roommate to afford my first apartment which was in a deluxe building with a terrace that faced the Manhattan skyline. I had my electric piano, kick bag, inflatable mattress, and clean milk crates for shelves. I had sold my drum kit by then.

Times have changed for the worse making "affordability" the mantra today in order to win elections and deliver for the people.

Why didn't Biden release them?

"Genocide Joe" and USAG Merrick Garland didn't release the massive Epstein files because that bursting dam would have also exposed Israel and the Mossad's influence and blackmail operations in the US, the Gulf States, and the Vatican.

Sexual deviants Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were the Mossad's Sayanim.

From 21 Jan 2021 to 19 Jan 2025, USAG Merrick Garland therefore had SC Jack Smith pursue Dummkopf Trumpf uselessly in a judicial system stacked against him.

That was four years of unentertaining Kabuki theater which got the American people nowhere, but at least protected Israel and the Mossad from public scrutiny in that four year timeframe.

As damage control after the initial releases, the satanic Benjamin Netanyahu was forced to go on Israeli TV just to deny that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad asset.

Read the headlines. Iran just got a $300,000,000,000 payment into their global terrorism universal healthcare budget!

Tucker Carlson, his whole life a beneficiary of white privilege and political and media connections, is now a frustrated outcast, a ronin.

Our hearts bleed for this creature who for years propagated the Republican Party line and the hated status quo.

As a broken clock, Tucker Carlson is correct about Israel and their monstrous genocidal campaign against Palestinians and Tel Aviv's undue power over the US Congress and the DOD through the nefarious AIPAC, but that is probably the limit of his worth.

Enjoy the tar pit, Tucker.

And as I posted a few weeks ago, US DIA elevated to HIGH the national counterintelligence threat level posed by Israel to the US.

This measure was done not because of the Russians, the Chinese, the Cubans, or the Iranians, but the Israelis.

Some ally!

Hakeem Jeffries (D-Israel) is lucky that uber-popular and capable NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) politely requested a young progressive not to run in a primary against him today.

That young progressive from Brooklyn and Zohran Mamdani (D) are probably looking at 2028 to oust this master of kabuki theater.

Amerikkka is the serial killer of the New World, Russia is the sequence killer of Europe, and Israel is the mass murderer of the Middle East, like Jeffery Dahmer, Jack the Ripper, Son of Sam, or Dylann Roof.

To cite another drudge.com blogger from several months ago: "Prove me wrong."

Thanks for this OP about Joni Mitchell, Corky.

Who's better than you?

"[Dummkopf Trumpf] is a parasite being consumed by more parasites."

Ha!

For decades, New Yorkers had access to free, world-class education without having to attend expensive Ivy League universities (unless they received scholarships).

Pupils would attend regular local high schools, or specialized ones like Hunter College HS, Stuyvesant HS, Brooklyn Tech, or Bronx Science, than attend a free CUNY college if they had the minimum required GPA.

NYC had private Catholic universities like Fordham, St Joseph's, or SJU.

But why pay for those colleges when we have CUNY?

After two demanding years at Queensboro Community College (QCC), mostly young women graduated to became RNs, making handsome salaries for themselves.

John Jay College of Criminal Justice propelled thousands of NYC graduates into careers as investigators for a slew of federal, state, or city agencies, like a pipeline.

College of Staten Island had an outstanding veterinary program.

Brooklyn and Queens College educated our teachers and musicians, while CCNY was dubbed the "Harvard of the Proletariat," producing 13 or 14 Nobel Prize laureates.

But times have changed for the worse and CUNY is no longer free-- decades now.

Education, medical, and housing costs for young Americans-- and the elderly-- across the country today are far greater than yesteryear.

"Cantaloupe Caligula"

Good shot.

Decades and decades of useless US sanctions have hardened the Iranian economy and drove them to Russia and China.

And Iran still managed to obtain Western funds through Bitcoin exchanges. Dummkopf Trumpf had pardoned one of these notorious crypto-currency goniffs.

Living in the neighborhood of belligerent Israel, the Iranians developed inexpensive asymmetric countermeasures, drones, which they have sold to the Kremlin-- the Shaheeds, for example.

One of Iran's cabinet ministers confessed that his country still has stockpiles of drones left.

I believe him.

Just imagine the ammunition stockpiles in North Korea after decades and decades of isolation.

For oil-poor Israel, the US shunned oil-rich Iran.

Under the notorious Shah, Iran was a US military ally in CENTO, a now defunct NATO analog in the Middle East.

Decades of foreign interference in the US body politic-- followed up with healthy dollops of irrational Islamophobia-- have prevented detente between Wash DC and Tehran-- and the 1980s Iran-Contra Affair exposed American duplicity.

Note that on 12 Nov 2001, Iran still tried to become friends again with the US. The Iranian IRGC-QF helped USSOF topple the Taliban in the city of Herat, paving the way for the US to initially depose the Taliban and root out al-Qaida operatives in Afghanistan.

Years later, Dummkopf Trumpf would later assassinate that IRGC-QF commander, a beloved military hero named General Qasem Soleimani.

The $300bn will go far in Iran to rebuild the country we attacked on behalf of Israel, replenish Tahran's drone stockpiles, and provide 100% universal healthcare for all their residents. Presently Iran is at 95%, which is a galaxy farther down the road than the US and our 'BBB.'

Endnote: The airwing of the Chinese PLA have developed these aerial drone carriers while the US will be wasting billions and billions of dollars building sinkable paleolithic Trumpf-class battleships.

"Have a cigar, boys! I'm the proud new father of Donald Sh*tstain!"

Will AIPAC and their fanatic supporters fill their tanks with Iranian gas? Vroom-vroom!

@9

Thanks, Marine. That linked was stripped from my original OP.

"Autocide" may be a term for this lethal Tesla phenomena.
