It’s the filming themselves thing that I find bizarre… the ones I’ve seem are always impeccably groomed… who are they trying to ‘influence’ with these creepy videos?
“ This past week I have seen a dozen or more videos where Russian women film themselves crying in their cars, because they cannot fill up the tank due to Ukraines "Long range sanctions".”

This piece is worth a read as it details the actions & aftermath; here’s just one taste. 😱
A real s**t show went down at the American Diabetes Association (ADA)’s meeting - you may have seen the video of the 5 diabetes scientists having their handouts snatched & being manhandled out by beefy police:
“Kahn [lead author of the editorial at the center of the story, and the editor-in-chief of Diabetes Care] pointed out that the events as they unfolded brought his editorial more attention than he ever imagined, with page views shooting up to 76,000 as of Monday afternoon, and a flood of views on social media through various channels.

“"Our goal was to hand out 1,000 copies of those editorials, and if we got 200 people to read them, we were lucky," Kahn told MedPage Today. "By the actions of the ADA, we've actually got millions of people to think about it."”

Yeah, ‘once bitten, twice shy’ as they say. You only get one chance. Putin screwed it up. Once bitten, twice shy.

Just what I was thinking: “by this stage, the pedo vulnerabilities seem increasingly systemic”. Resonates as a warning loud & clear; should *not* be happening, and why it is happening needs to be investigated & curtailed.

This is Reality: “Those laws are false hope most of the time bc they are not enforced. They put victims at further risk thinking they have safety in the system, and people look away thinking nothing happened if no charges.”

Enforcement always the weak spot in child sexual abuse (as in so many other crimes).

Totally agree & think this shift in power (biggest losers being commercial old media) needs to be explored more… it’s a big change in some thinking (some previously set-in-cement assumptions that have conditioned a lot of actions). John Quiggin refers to it as: “the exposure of Newscorp as a paper tiger”.
