Ruschia's military strategy; Covid sacrifices; How Ukraine’s post 2014 Decentralization Strategy Trolled Ruschia Into Defeat.
⚡️Professor Neil Ferguson told UK House of Commons that the Covid death toll by June, 2020 was 54,000, according to the England’s office of national statistics:
"Had the UK Government acted on the 15 March, 2020, 27,000 people might "only" have died of COVID19.
“Had UK Government acted on 7th March, 2020, by June 19th 2020, 13,500 might only have died..."
Recall that on 27th February 2020 the UK governments own pandemic modellers told the government- Cummings was present at the meeting- in writing that unless "Stringent Measures" were immediately taken 250,000-500,000 human beings would be killed by Covid.
The UK government actively decided NOT to take ANY Stringent Measures to prevent these easily preventable deaths.
250,000+ have been killed by Covid in England, at least.
Millions died around the world as a result of the UK governments negligence in doing NOTHING to prevent the Kent Variant spreading across Europe and the world.
In May 2021 Delta, a genetic descendant of Alpha (B117) (and other variants mixing together), emerged and killed millions. By October 2021 over 1.5m English children had been infected by Delta, a neurotropic virus.
How the UK Could Have REDUCED Covid Deaths by 50,000+:

Now, here we are as many predicted we would be in March 2020. No end in sight - except on a personal level if we wear our FFP3/N99.
⚡️Why Disinfo researchers who fall for Covid Disinfolklore fail us.
If you’ve been persuaded Covid is a Nothin’ Burger AND you promote yerself as a Disinfo researcher/expert, then…
How can you be credible?!
You’re getting avoidably repeatedly infected by Covid because you’ve swallowed the trolls permeating humanity that Covid is harmless.
This is not a drill - you’re modelling your critical judgement (or lack thereof) AND your lack of compassion every time you enter a crowded space without an FPP3/N99.
Disinfo research isn’t something one teaches others, while falling for trolls oneself.
Life isn’t a drill.
You’re falling for every scapegoat those ne’er do wells controlling our info space are promoting.
You’re falling for the troll, which causes you to fall ill repeatedly. There’s literally no better test today for how useful your Disinfo research is than ‘how frequently have you gotten ill since March 2020?’
Covid Disinfolklore like:
It doesn’t harm children - harms everyone.
Doesn’t transmit from children- 70% of household infections start from children.
If it doesn’t kill you, it’s fine.
If you’re infected once, keep doing it.
Nothin’ can be done - wear an FFP3.
Covid has run its course.
Omicron will be the last variant.
Herd immunity is imminent.
Lockdowns cause all ills…
It’s good to get infected cos then you get immunity to what you want to avoid being infected by… I mean, lol.
So you can assess ANY purported expert on Disinformation by how hard they have fallen for successive iterations of the Let It Rip troll afflicting humanity.
⚡️Ruschia's Military Strategy, astutely summarised by @Podolyak_M
"...through bluff, blackmail, mass deaths, and propaganda, secure for themselves... an operational pause, switch the war into a "protracted low-intensity format." And then, negotiate, return to audacity and ultimatums, provoke even more accompanying conflicts in other regions..."
Note how Ruschia's impotent military relies mainly on informational warfare vectors to dominate minds. Ruschist Disinfolklore targets stakeholders' Intentions/Motivations (Mana).
This tactic worked 2014-2022 when Ruschist info warfare managed to convince oodles of world leaders and Russian language speaking foreign policy so-called experts that Ruschia wouldn't further invade Ukraine and/or Crimea is somehow Ruschian (🙄) and/or Ruschia's grievances are t infinite and/or...
Today, Ruschia is trying to perfp the same conjuring trick of hypnotising us into defeat. But, as on the actual battlefield, Ruschia's power on the information warfare plane is so much 💨.
⚡️Nigel Porridge leading Tories would be a fitting end to eight years of Tory strategic incompetence.
News that Nigel Portidge may join the English Tory party after all is the piece de la resistance.
The entire nine past years of Channel migrant drownings and £2t Brexit cataclysm can be perceived as England’s ruling party’s attempt to thwart this ex-banker populist’s rise.
Sacrificing a country's welfare to stop Nigel Porridge eating our lunch. Turns out he’s already munched through next few decades of England’s school dinners.
Alas, an entire country's future has been sacrificed to keep Porridge away.
Ironically the dominant strategy in 2014 to neuter Porridge would have been to introduce proportional representation.
Instead they Brexitshitted. And here we are.
⚡️Braverman's sins against the constitution are numerous, & very serious. No English person has done more than she to undermine England or the UK. She conceals her anti-English animus in the clothes of a fake rhetoric of "British" identity.
Unlawful suspension of parliament for a start. Supreme Court ruled that advising the monarch to suspend parliament in September 2019 was unlawful. As attorney general my old law school classmate had concocted a strategy to avoid allowing Parliament to vote against dropping out of the European Union without a treaty. Simply suspend Parliament. A move Henry VIII would have been proud of.
Then, as I note here (https://medium.com/political-risk/this-week-in-the-uk-weve-gone-from-the-rule-of-law-to-the-rule-of-six-and-now-that-the-justice-da7be6378953), as Attorney General she took Cabinet Secretary (who is NOT trained as a lawyer) judgement on whether breaching EU withdrawal treaty was also a breach of ministerial code, over her own.
Braverman introduced the far right/Muscovy originating "Coup Troll" as a smear into English political discourse.
Braverman has relentlessly promoted the antisemitic conspiracy theory known as "Cultural Marxism."
"Cultural Marxism" is an antisemitic conspiracy theory EVERYWHERE.
It originated in America (where I studied Critical Theory at Georgetown).
Now, English government ministers promote this antisemitic conspiracy theory on the BBC and in Parliament and on Twitter, and few bat an eyelid. Because they don't get what's going on.
The Frankfurt School philosophers (who founded the New School for Social Research in NYC among other things while refugees), sheltered in America from the Holocaust.
While there they wrote a number of texts which enable us to critique and understand the tools authoritarians use to trigger their followers, to scapegoat, and to rinse the ‘Muni’ out of our communities.
For this reason, Frankfurt School thinking and their work is targeted by far right authoritarians (using their antisemitic conspiracy theory trolls like "Cultural Marxism" libel).
Theodor Adorno for example published the Authoritarian Personality in 1950.
It is the foundational text for explaining why people followed Hitler.
Altemeyer perfected the science in his High Writ Wing Authoritarian psych scale work.
Authoritarians shape the battle field by destroying the weapons (like critical theory) we need in order to defeat them.
That is what anti-woke and those promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories like "Cultural Marxism" are up to. Everywhere.
⚡️EU to Ukraine:
"On multi-level governance, the achievements of decentralisation reform continued, with municipalities acting as a pillar of Ukrainian resilience."
I met hundreds of these leaders of local self-governing communities (former Soviets) in Ukraine.
These communities keep 50% of taxes raised in their community to spend on education, culture, security, healthcare and administrative services. It's a fantastically successful reform process designed and implemented since 1st April 2014. Local self governance is why centralised corrupt Ruschia will never succeed in Ukraine. Ever.
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/qanda_23_5631
Post-colonial Ireland still has same local governance structure 100 years after independence🙄. Ukraine doesn't.
Ukraine DESTROYED District-level power structures. Didn't reform corrupt Soviet-era: eliminated them finally in 2020.
First, from 2014, Ukraine allowed individual village communities (former Soviets) to select which adjacent communities they wanted to unite with. Then Ukraine stripped the District governance structures of any power (Mana).
Those powers were vested in village communities which with massive central government assistance, EU capacity building and funding, as well as huge USAID funding finally had the resources to invest in their own communities.
Then once every village community in Ukraine (apart from those stuck in Ruschia occupied Ukraine) had been so empowered, the Soviet era Districts were reconstituted with new boundaries and few powers.
Few modern democracies have ever achieved such comprehensive reforms against the vested interests of the ancient regimes.
Ruschia’s entire policy for Ukraine was what it called “Regionalisation.” Centralised Ruschia wanted to destroy Ukraine by forcing Kyiv to decentralise power to the regions like Luhansk, Donetsk and Kharkhiv.
Then Ruschia would corrupt these regional governance structures and annex them. That was the substance of Ruschia’s Ukraine policy for two decades before the full-scale invasion. Ukraine trolled Ruschia back by empowering village communities instead.
And we see the result: these villages united again and again spontaneously to defeat Ruschism armour in the first few days of the invasion.

Ruschia's now occupying Villages which have had autonomy for years.
I first noticed the positive results of decentralisation in early 2018. By accident. I asked an eastern Ukrainian Soviet-era village leader why he was such a champion now for decentralisation: "I went to Poland on an EU funded study trip and I saw how their decentralised villages live. I returned to my village and I said to my people ‘We're going to live like villages in Poland.’ So we Applied to become a hromada."
Until 1868 there was NO local governance in Ukraine - everyone was a serf. Then Soviet "democracy." By Dec 2019 EVERY non-Ruschian occupied village in Ukraine kept 50% of taxes raised on their communities. Ukrainians will NEVER surrender this freedom. NEVER.
I visited 100s of these hromadas in eastern Ukraine. I wrote 500+ of reports for the governments of 57 countries on what I found. This is what motivates my work on Twitter as @DecodingTrolls. This is how I know WHY Ruschia murders, tortures & disappears elected leaders.
"Experts" ignorant of these village-level revolutions supported by poroshenko & ZelenskyyUa don't understand that 🇺🇦 will NEVER abandon ANY village in ANY negotiated settlement with Ruschia - take note 🇫🇷,🇩🇪&🇷🇺. NEVER. People in occupied Zaporozhzhia are Europe's BEST democrats.
