Podcast & Pensées 133 | War on Twitter, Not UN Security Council
The Decision I Made in the Autumn of 2019…
⚡️Hours into the supposed ceasefire that only exists in the information space, Pakistan’s prime minister contacted the parties to the war. On Twitter. That’s right. The arbiter of the supposed peace agreement didn’t visit the UN Security Council. He tweeted, thus:
Shehbaz Sharif
@CMShehbaz
X.com
Violations of ceasefire have been reported at few places across the conflict zone which undermine the spirit of peace process. I earnestly and sincerely urge all parties to exercise restraint and respect the ceasefire for two weeks, as agreed upon, so that diplomacy can take a lead role towards peaceful settlement of the conflict.

This was not In addition to other communications. This is how the ceasefire violations are being certified. While a diplomat monitoring and reporting on Russia’s violations of the Minsk ceasefire Agreement in eastern Ukraine in 2015-2018, I dreamed of such instant karma. Instead I would certify violations. My line manager would counter sign. The certification would go up the chain of command and never be seen again. Meanwhile, in the public sphere, the impression was: ceasefire holding.
⚡️Iran War: Analytical Failings
Both Israel and the United States, I fear, looked at Russia’s imbroglio in Ukraine and ignored how much of what caused it will effect their quaint 20th Century armies:
hubris, old fashioned weapons systems, democratisation of warfare, asymmetry in ‘existential’ war asymmetry, damage to the rear aggregates.
The fact of Iran already having at least hundreds of thousands of Shahed drones as well as foreseeable millions of First Person View (FPV) drones means:
Gulf states and perhaps even Israel can became uninhabitable. Sure, America thinks it can make Iran uninhabitable too: yet that’s the problem:
For Iran, the war was and is existential. For Israel and America the war was a choice.
Yet, now because of the essential asymmetry of warfare, pioneered by Ukraine, David has the means of smiting Goliath.
Watching Ukraine disassemble Russia over the past 18 months has been a lesson US and Israel’s war mongers should have learned. Deceiving their respective people into a war they cannot win and which will, potentially, as has happened to Russia destroy them is a terrible error, morally and analytically.
This data set of 10,000 propaganda items, which I collected in Russia-occupied Ukraine between 2015 and 2018, is the basis of Disinfolklore. It is the basis of my insight about archetypes. I had not really systematically gone through it to take out all of the main archetypes and sub-archetypes from this corpus, as it were. I have done this now, and I have quite a number of individual papers on it, which I thought I would go through…
⚡️Syria and Ukraine: President Zelenskyy in Damascus.
Russia doubled-down in Syria from September 2015 onwards. Carpet bombing Syria was a successful attempt by Russia to provoke refugee flows into Europe. Out of that human mystery Russia strained the EU, created the Brexit campaign for English ne’er do wells, got Orban and Poland’s law and justice re-elected.
Most of all, Russia created geopolitical capital after the sanctions that followed Crimea, Luhansk/Donetsk and MH-17.
A classic Putler turn-over-the-table move (this Russian habit is why we cannot discount a move on Estonia- though Russia’s trolling of Donald into attacking Iran probably strains Russia way beyond its current bandwidth).
Ukraine however has turned the tables on Russia: Ukraine destroyed the Wanger Nazis Russian army corps which began life as the Slavic Corps in Syria in 2013. Destroying the Wanger Nazis in Bakhmut drove the Chef Saucerer who got Trump elected in 2016 and Brexit done mad. Then Ukraine helped Sharaa’s forces expel the Russians from Syria.
Today, Ukraine’s power projects south from Crimea accords Anatolia into Iran, Mesopotamia, and the Nortb African coast and into Sudan.
⚡️The conduct of war and peace is not, as it used to be a mere 20 years ago, conducted by diplomats in parliaments, in hushed rooms at the UN Security Council. Now it is conducted basically solely by Twitter, by Untruth Social.
The Decision I Made in the Autumn of 2019
On the other hand, I have mixed feelings about this, because I bet everything that I had — all my intellectual power, all my time, all my energy — that trolling and trolls was the most significant phenomenon in our civilisation. That was the decision I made in the autumn of 2019. That was the problem I was going to look into and try to come up with an understanding of what Donald was doing when he roiled humanity through Twitter. As I say, this was pre-COVID even. It was not such a life and death matter then. He had not killed that many. He did not kill a million Americans unnecessarily through COVID, or however many people have died in Iran or other places since then, through USAID cancelling and all that. They were innocent times.
I invested my time and my energy on this problem, which many people did not even see at the time. They just thought: they are tweets, that is just Donald being Donald. In some senses, seeing an Untruth, a tweet, credibly threatening as President of the United States of America, credibly threatening the end of Iranian civilisation — and which, as many of you will know, I have looked into very deeply because it is one of our main — it is very well documented through the Avesta, which is reconstructed about Zarathustra and Zarawaster and 1400 BCE, as the stopping-off point for the ultimately Ukrainian, ancient Ukrainian Yamnaya on their journey to India, to conquer and Indo-Europeanise India.
Iran is just a really important place and a really important civilisation, which I know relatively intimately. I was kind of happy to see Donald talk about it as a civilisation. I do not know where that came from because I do not think he sees it as a civilisation. Maybe that was Vance’s chat, or someone who was talking to someone.

⚡️Donald’s Robo Pen Untruth - War Crimes Defence?
Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Broge Day, all wrapped up in one mIran There will be nothing like it!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or yout be ling in Hell-SUST WATCHI Praise be to Allah O esidenDONALD J TRUMP
I see Donald’s latest Untruth is published genuinely on his Untruth Social site.
But it’s not Don’s normal modelled ‘voice.’
This is like some tripping to wow in Jane Austen’s style, but ending up with Jay McInerney at his most gross - it’s that jarring a code switch.
I’ve never seen that voice under the Donald brand before.
I don’t know what it means: His voice is so easy to mimic (see Gavin Newsom’s tweets below).
I find it very odd whoever wrote that Untruth wasn’t bothered to write the scripted Unttuth in Donald’s ‘normal’ online voice.
Again, I don’t know what this means.
But it does mean or indicate *something *🤷🏾♀️
⚡️Don’s Ceasefire Trolling.
In Don’s fake Ukraine peace talks we became used to Don’s ceasefire soap opera dramas.
Same trick Russia played between 2015-2022 with its fake ceasefires in Ukraine - I was there I witnessed thousands of ceasefire breaches nightly by Russia on the contact line.
Yet, “Ceasefire” offers an alibi to minds Ben need by the blowing hot, blowing cold Coercive Control Mechanism Donald (and Russia) use to control us.
Wife-Beater Logic is the governance method: threaten civilisation map annihilation, then soothe the pain with a mythical ceasefire.
⚡️Real Iran Deal: Don’s Unified Reich, Ceasefire Trolling and Coercive Controlling Humanity
1. Mad Don and the Mad Mullahs share a vision for humanity: Handmaid’s Tale.
Landing zone for Iran-MAGA deal was always: Don lets Iran prosper, subjugate freedom and women, while MAGA America continues to spread Handmaids Tale community everywhere on earth.
Sure, this is a mess. But the effect is the same:
Don’s Unified Reich IS unity with CCP, Iran, Russia and N Korea’s Axis of Misogyny.
If Vance, Don, CCP, Putler and the Hungary guy get their way: mass deportations of anyone who won’t submit and mass submission of the female half of humanity to Handmaid’s Tale.
2. Archetyping War as “Ceasefire” and War as “Peace” is the troll Russia been using ever since the Minsk Agreements in Ukraine. For three years on the frontline in eastern Ukraine (2015-2018) as a diplomat I monitored the “Ceasefire.” Not one day went by without Russian trolling artillery bats he’s and heavy machine guns and snipers targeting Ukraine defenders. I certified these violations yet to the governments guaranteeing Minsk, the ceasefire held.
Those who’s watched Don model his “Give Ukraine to Russia” strategy as “peace talks” for the past two years find it maddening the same troll is now being used with Iran. Last July: same troll. Don attacks Iran then unilaterally claims “Ceasefire” and “War is over.”
3. Effect of this whip-lash: “end to civilisation” v “ceasefire” / “peace in our time” is same as Wife Beater Coercive Control logic applied to the whole of humanity.
Don is wrapping humanity inside a cult: I love you/I hate you. Yesterday I hit you because I love you/today I kiss you/tomorrow you’ll do everything to please Daddy.
It’s the Mana / Energy of Coercive Control: the Epstein Class, CCP and Mullah’s preferred mode of exercising control.
Every cult does it. Mad Don’s ambition, today successfully being realised, is to wrap humanity inside his cult.
The Mother and the Maiden: Archetype One
Anyway, I suppose that — the occupation used the folk memory of the older people, of the pre-Stalin era. By calling their security service in the Russian occupation of Ukraine the MGB, they were conjuring up the folk memory of Stalin.
This walk-in report stated that a man’s common-law wife and her underage daughter were about to be cut into pieces by a Ukrainian Nazi on my side of the river. I was on the Ukraine-controlled, government-controlled side of the Donetsk River at the time. I was asked by my boss: could you and your team, your patrol group, which I was in charge of, go and rescue them? Rescue these damsels in distress…
