  4. Immigration étudiante en France: leurs parcours, pas vos préjugés

    Un article du Figaro Magazine relaie les thèses de l’OID pour critiquer la stratégie «#BienvenueEnFrance», présentée comme un prétexte permettant à des étudiants africains de s’installer durablement en France. Ce récit, qui réduit leurs parcours à une «tactique migratoire», repose sur des raccourcis fallacieux.

  7. There Might Be More To The Von Der Leyen-GPS-Russia Hoax Than Scoring Cheap Infowar Points

    There Might Be More To The Von Der Leyen-GPS-Russia Hoax Than Scoring Cheap Infowar Points

    By Andrew Korybko

    NATO might exploit this hoax as the pretext for commencing large-scale but “plausibly deniable” electronic warfare provocations against Kaliningrad that could spike the risk of a civilian accident.

    The Financial Times’ Brussels Bureau Chief Henry Foy prompted panic across Europe last week when he reported that Russian electronic warfare succeeded in jamming the GPS of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s plane right as she was about to land in Bulgaria. The thought that Putin supposedly tried to assassinate a Western leader through “plausibly deniable” means complemented the purpose of her visit by drawing attention to the supposed “Russian threat” that the frontline states face.

    The problem though is that this never happened. FlightRadar24, which is the world’s most reputable source for in-flight information, shared data debunking this claim. Bulgaria itself later walked back its initial support of this story, which its pro-Western leadership would never have done had there been any truth to it. Politico then published a piece to their credit about how this allegation is starting to unravel. All of this lent credence to Russian officials’ denials that their country jammed von der Leyen’s plane.

    Foy’s report was therefore exposed as a hoax, but the question naturally arises of why this false narrative implying that Russia sought to assassinate a Western leader through “plausibly deniable” means was planted in the first place regardless of whether it was on his own initiative or in collusion with others. While casual observers might chalk it up as a means of scoring cheap infowar points against Russia at a politically convenient time (i.e. von der Leyen’s trip to the frontline states), there might be more to it.

    Astute observers will recall the recurring threats made against Russia’s Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad since the special operation began. These include Lithuania’s brief blockade of that region, Poland’s renaming of it to “Krolewiec” in reference to the long-gone time when it was a Polish fief, and NATO’s military buildup that’s explicitly predicated in part on neutralizing Russian military forces there. It thus wouldn’t be far-fetched to speculate that Foy’s hoax is meant to justify aggressive signals jamming in Kaliningrad.

    SVR Once Again Warned About A British-Ukrainian False Flag Provocation At Sea” in August, which reminded folks of the Baltic’s role in the current tensions. Its symbolic transformation into a “NATO lake” after Finland and Sweden joined NATO, which followed decades of close cooperation with that hitherto made them de facto members anyhow, might have emboldened the West to stage “plausibly deniable” large-scale electronic warfare provocations against Kaliningrad. This could boost Western morale.

    Although NATO would be implicated due to it being the only realistic culprit, the bloc might expect that tensions would still remain manageable, all while the public praises their leaders for approving “bold hybrid warfare” operations on Russia’s own turf. This is a dangerous assumption, however, since it takes for granted that such aggressive signals jamming won’t result in a civilian accident. If it does, then Russia might unleash its full electronic warfare potential against the West in a rare symmetrical escalation.

    Of course, it’s also possible that Foy’s von der Leyen-GPS-Russia hoax was indeed just some random attempt to score cheap infowar points against Russia, though it can’t confidently be ruled out that this was a perception management operation aimed at advancing the aforesaid goal. Kaliningrad remains too tantalizing of a target for Western warmongers to ignore, especially those who want to provoke a crisis that could pull Trump deeper into mission creep, and this hoax provides the pretext for attempting that.

  11. "All of this had to be coordinated with an Israeli military liaison body, COGAT, that approves the movement of foreign workers in Gaza if they are to avoid being killed in drone strikes.

    Most likely Israel insisted on the pretext for evacuation so it could strike the hospital and kill Palestinian emergency crews and journalists without also harming foreigners and so limit whatever tepid indignation the murder of Palestinian journalists would provoke from the western media."

    I forgive them their "We don't have wired communication. Here, use this rotary phone" take. The fun overweighs the silly pretext.

    And it gave me flashbacks to "Raumpatrouille Orion", a german low-budget pre-TOS Sci-Fi show.

  23. WTF!!! #DHS Tells #Police That Common #Protest Activities Are ‘Violent Tactics’

    DHS is urging law enforcement to treat even #skateboarding and #livestreaming as signs of violent intent during a protest, turning everyday behavior into a pretext for police action.

    By Dell Cameron, Jul 10, 202

    "The #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity is urging local police to consider a wide range of protest activity as violent tactics, including mundane acts like riding a #bike or livestreaming a police encounter, WIRED has learned.

    "WIRED has made this article free for all to read because it is primarily based on reporting from Freedom of Information Act requests [#FOIA]. Please consider subscribing to support our journalism.

    "Threat bulletins issued during last month’s '#NoKings' #protests warn that the US government’s aggressive immigration raids are almost certain to accelerate domestic unrest, with DHS saying there’s a 'high likeliness' more Americans will soon turn against the agency, which could trigger #confrontations near federal sites.

    "Blaming intense media coverage and backlash to the US military deployment in #LosAngeles, DHS expects the #demonstrations to 'continue and grow across the nation' as #protesters focused on other issues shift to #immigration, following a broad 'embracement of #AntiICE messaging.'

    "The bulletins—first obtained by the national security nonprofit #PropertyOfThePeople through public records requests—warn that officers could face assaults with fireworks and improvised weapons: #paint-filled fire extinguishers, smoke grenades, and projectiles like #bottles and #rocks.

    "At the same time, the guidance urges officers to consider a range of #nonviolent behavior and common #ProtestGear—like #masks, #flashlights, and #cameras—as potential precursors to violence, telling officers to prepare 'from the point of view of an adversary.'

    "Protesters on #bicycles, #skateboards, or even 'on foot' are framed as potential 'scouts' conducting reconnaissance or searching for 'items to be used as weapons.' #Livestreaming is listed alongside '#doxxing' as a 'tactic' for 'threatening' police. Online posters are cast as ideological #recruiters—or as participants in 'surveillance sharing.'

    "One list of 'violent tactics' shared by the Los Angeles–based Joint Regional Intelligence Center—part of a post-9/11 fusion network—includes both protesters’ attempts to avoid identification and efforts to identify police. The memo also alleges that face recognition, normally a tool of law enforcement, was used against officers.

    "Vera Eidelman, a senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union [#ACLU], says the government has no business treating #constitutionally protected activities—like #observing or #documenting police—as threats.
