    Well, duh. But I wasn't aware of it, I guessed others on this board weren't aware of it, and I thought people would find it interesting.

    • Fun's fun, but Dump's controller has had just about enough in Belarus.

      President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia gave an ominous warning on Thursday to protesters in Belarus not to push too hard to topple their country’s embattled president, saying that Russia had formed a special reserve force of security officers to restore order in the event of chaos in its western neighbor.

      Mr. Putin, speaking in an interview with Russian state television, said he had ordered the creation of a “certain reserve of law enforcement officers” at the request of Belarus’s authoritarian leader, Aleksandr G. Lukashenko. He said the force had not been deployed yet, because “we also agreed that it will not be used unless the situation gets out of control.”

      Mr. Putin’s remarks sent the strongest warning yet that Russia could use force to halt more than two weeks of protests in Belarus, which he described as “perhaps the closest country to us.” While saying that Belarusians themselves must decide their future after a disputed presidential election on Aug. 9, he added, “We are certainly not indifferent to what is happening there.”

      Mr. Putin, who works hard to cultivate an aura of invincibility, can hardly afford to be.

      The crisis in Belarus has confronted the Russian leader with a perilous dilemma: After weeks of protests in the Russian Far East and a wave of indignation over the poisoning of his most prominent opponent, Aleksei A. Navalny, Mr. Putin is loath to see the demise of a fellow authoritarian who himself seemed invincible until this month. It might give Russians ideas.

        • An interesting article that came to me via Firefox's recommended links: the incredible true story of how the CIA used a fake radio station to oust the democratic President of Guatemala and destabilize the region for decades.

          The most interesting part of the story? The CIA provided a six-stage step-by-step playbook on how to create fake media and destabilize a governement.

          And all while researching this story about a 1954 story of outside governments interfering with other governments, it wqs found that Russia is using the playbook against the US.

              It's so interesting to read this stuff and then just sit back and go "hey, wait a minute..."

              I didn't realize the link I posted was a seven part series, so I'm just halfway through page two. Intersting how the initial setup in Guatemala was mirrored by the Russians in 2016. Create a network of "on the ground" voices and repeat the lies enough to make people, especially the media, start to think the lies are correct. Or at the very least, have the media start to entertain those thoughts.

                          Sounds like that Russian Gold Bond is some nasty stuff.
                          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
