    On April 18 literally 3 days after my X account was unsuspended, the anonymous account @MyLordBebo dropped a thread accusing me of running some made up “Russian disinformation operation” called “Storm.” He threw in screenshots that look manipulated, then immediately pivoted to dredging up my old 2016 conviction (the charges were political as I held a leadership position within the Liberal party of Canada trying to change the trajectory to an anti war, anti globalist policy platform) and calling me a “pedo.” Within mere minutes the post was being amplified by NAFO accounts and what looks like NATO aligned cyber force bots pushing the standard Western intelligence narrative. Bebo would double down using Western Intel agency NAFO talking points himself. Let’s be clear: I’m Irish Canadian with dual citizenship. I’m not Russian. I’ve never been part of any foreign operation. I’m anti war and pro.sanity, full stop. I empathize with Russia’s legitimate security concerns about NATO expansion and the 2014 Maidan coup because I’ve followed the facts, not the corporate client media script. That’s it. Here’s what actually happened back in 2016, because the same smear machine that’s hitting me today tried to bury me then. started in politics at a young age while in university in Ottawa. In 2002 I volunteered for Nancy Karetak-Lindell (eventually taking on a full time position), the MP for Nunavut, I was often at Prime Minister Paul Martin’s office from 2004-05. From 2007 to 2013 I lobbied for the Canadian credit union system, pushing to keep them competitive against the big banks. In 2014 I moved into a senior executive role at Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston, Ontario — corporate communications and community engagement. My name and cell number were on every press release because we were fighting for a $200 million hospital redevelopment that needed real government support. By 2014-16 I was openly posting on social media against the West’s illegal war in Ukraine and the Maidan coup. Local people who shared those views, including a former mayor, asked me to help take over the Simcoe–Grey Federal Liberal Riding Association. We did exactly that at the 2016 AGM. I became Vice Chair and we started building a slate of anti-globalist, anti-war candidates. I was also planning to run for municipal council. That’s when the threats started. Anonymous phone calls telling me to drop out of the Liberal executive and forget about running locally. Then the adopted daughter of the head of the local Spry Freemason Lodge in the Alliston area contacted me. She said she was a 22 year old nursing student looking for a volunteer spot at the hospital. I directed her to HR. She kept messaging on Facebook, turned flirtatious, I blocked her. She made new accounts. By summer she was demanding $10,000 or she’d go to the OPP and claim I was "luring" her. In November 2016 the OPP showed up. Officers waited outside my house until I left for work, then went in and questioned my wife and our two young daughters in a threatening way. My wife asked to see proof — they refused. I was arrested at the hospital right in front of my colleagues. During interrogation I asked to see the alleged screenshots — again, nothing was shown. That was the first time I heard the claim she was 17, not 22 as she had presented herself the whole time. The Liberal Party kicked me off the executive within days, without due process or a conviction. You can watch the video of it here: The case dragged on for two years. My career was wrecked, I burned through about $200,000 in legal fees, and my family was under massive stress. Discovery showed the young woman had a pattern of contacting powerful men and then trying to extort them with police threats. The adopted father admitted in court he’d been watching my house and could describe my wife and daughters in detail. He was also friends with the guy I was running against. Continued below👇

    RT @IslanderWORLD: Three unmanned boats, perfect timing during a Black Sea security meeting, and another ship carrying sensitive cargo goes down. Kiev’s “back door” through the Danube is getting expensive fast.

    𝗨𝗞𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗔𝗡 𝗡𝗔𝗩𝗔𝗟 𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 “𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗗𝗢𝗪 𝗙𝗟𝗘𝗘𝗧” Out of the waves on the starboard side emerges a low, black boat. No cabin, no helmsman — just a flat hull and a post at the stern. Spray fans out behind it. It is heading straight for the ship’s side. The target is the Liberian-flagged container ship Contship Jet, on October 28, 39 kilometres off Cape Shabla, Bulgaria. Three strikes hit its starboard side, sparking a fire and causing a 20-degree list. Around two dozen containers went overboard. By midnight, the vessel had sunk. Bulgarian naval personnel rescued all crew members alive: 14 Filipinos and four Ukrainians. Officially, nobody knows whose boats they were. Let’s call them “goodwill naval drones”: unmanned, nameless and extremely determined. They also have a sense of humour. The strike came at precisely the hour when the defence ministers of Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey were meeting in Sofia to discuss Black Sea security. “While this meeting was taking place, a container ship was attacked by three drones in the neighbouring sea,” Bulgarian Defence Minister Dimitar Stoyanov told reporters. The ministers issued a statement condemning the attack. What else could they do? Bulgarian Navy chief Admiral Emil Eftimov identified the direction of approach: the drones came “from the east.” And in case anyone has forgotten, the sea lies east of Bulgaria. The navy could not open fire: it had no mandate beyond territorial waters, while the attackers had carefully avoided entering Bulgaria’s 12-mile territorial zone. Contship Jet is the fifth vessel to have been attacked in Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone since the beginning of October. Plot the routes on a map, and the pattern no longer looks like coincidence. Alfa Watan was heading for Sulina, Romania. HS Dignity was bound for Braila. Chelsea 3 belongs to Ukrainians, is registered in Odessa and was heading to Moldova. Able, a frequent visitor to Odessa and Chernomorsk, was reportedly carrying grain. Sulina is the maritime gateway to the Danube. And the Danube provides a route to the Ukrainian ports of Izmail, Reni and Kiliya. After our strikes nearly brought the ports of Greater Odessa to a halt, the Danube’s share of Ukrainian port cargo turnover had risen to 74% by August. According to our military sources, these routes carry not only grain but also military cargo and fuel for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. A back door Kiev hoped to shield with NATO coastlines. Contship Jet was sailing from Haifa to Constanta, Romania’s main port, where Kiev and Bucharest recently simplified procedures for handling Ukrainian cargo. According to a list published by the Bulgarian maritime press, the ship’s containers held lithium-ion batteries, flammable liquids, acids and industrial components alongside food and construction materials. What else was inside the 421 containers may only be revealed by divers. @sashakots

    RT @UlyanaStrizh: 𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗡 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗡𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗙𝗟𝗬 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗚𝗣𝗦 Ukraine’s military intelligence (HUR) has revealed details about a new modification of Russia’s Geran-4 drone, which Russian forces reportedly began using this autumn. According to Ukrainian intelligence, the drone has received a “MOKh” module equipped with an American PNI5GA magnetometer. It works alongside the SADRA inertial system and is designed to compensate for the accumulation of gyroscope errors, improving the accuracy of autonomous navigation. But the magnetometer is not the only new feature. The Geran-4 has also reportedly received the “Susanin” system — an electro-optical complex that compares images of the surrounding terrain with reference images stored in the onboard computer’s memory. This adds another autonomous navigation channel to satellite and inertial navigation, while the magnetometer helps further correct the inertial system. A similar Susanin system is also reportedly used in the newer Geran-5. The most interesting aspect is not even the American sensor inside a Russian drone. The Geran is gradually evolving from a relatively simple platform dependent on satellite navigation into a system with several independent methods of determining its position. Satellites, gyroscopes, the Earth’s magnetic field and terrain imagery all serve the same purpose: guiding the drone to its target even when its navigation systems face interference. For the enemy’s electronic warfare systems, this means that simply jamming GPS is becoming an increasingly insufficient solution.

    RT @BinaGreene: Elif Eralp: Angstgetrieben ins Amt? Frau Eralp muss aus Angst Rücksichten nehmen. Damit ist sie disqualifiziert Heute hat der Spiegel eine Geschichte veröffentlicht, die in Berlin eigentlich niemanden überraschen sollte, die aber trotzdem einen kurzen Moment der Klarheit erzeugt. Elif Eralp, Spitzenkandidatin der Linken und Anwärterin auf das Rote Rathaus, hat in internen Anmerkungen zu einem Interview geschrieben, sie und ihr Mann hätten „Angst vor diesen Leuten“. Gemeint sind Personen aus einem Milieu mit Kontakten zur Hamas. Konkret ging es um Ibrahim Ibrahim, der auf einer Wahlparty der Linken in Neukölln aufgetaucht war. Eralp wollte die entsprechende Frage und ihre Antwort streichen lassen. In den Kommentaren steht: „Ich kann mich und meine Familie für den Spiegel nicht in Gefahr bringen.“ Sie überlegte, das ganze Interview zu stornieren. Das Landeskriminalamt habe ihr früher schon geraten, nie konkrete Namen zu nennen – damals bei organisierter Kriminalität, jetzt bei Leuten mit Hamas-Kontakten. Das ist kein privates Tagebuch. Das sind Anmerkungen, die mit dem eigenen Büro und der Landesvorsitzenden geteilt wurden. Die Frau, die für die Sicherheit von Millionen Berlinern verantwortlich sein möchte, fürchtet also, dass schon das öffentliche Nennen eines Namens aus dem Umfeld ihrer eigenen Partei Konsequenzen für sie und ihre Familie haben könnte. Sie sagt das nicht laut in der Öffentlichkeit. Sie sagt es intern, während sie versucht, die Öffentlichkeit davon fernzuhalten. In Berlin ist das kein abstraktes Problem. Hier hat sich über Jahre ein Milieu etabliert, in dem die Nähe zu bestimmten palästinensischen Organisationen, die Terror nicht nur billigen, sondern manchmal feiern, in Teilen der linken Szene normal geworden ist. Ibrahim Ibrahim gilt als langjähriger Aktivist der Volksfront zur Befreiung Palästinas. Er hat den Planer des Überfalls vom 7. Oktober als Märtyrerhelden bezeichnet. Dass er auf einer Linken-Wahlparty erscheint und eine Abgeordnete der Partei daneben steht, während die Spitzenkandidatin gleichzeitig Angst hat, seinen Namen in einem Interview zu sehen, ist kein Betriebsunfall. Es ist die logische Folge einer Politik, die bestimmte Grenzziehungen jahrelang als überflüssig oder sogar als rechts erklärt hat. Man kann sich fragen, wie viele andere Ministerpräsidenten oder Bürgermeisterkandidaten sich in einer vergleichbaren Lage befinden. Die Antwort lautet: In dieser konkreten Form und mit dieser Offenheit wohl nicht viele. Die meisten Landespolitiker müssen nicht befürchten, dass ein Interview mit dem Spiegel über Personen aus dem eigenen näheren politischen Umfeld ihre Familie gefährden könnte. In Berlin ist das bei der Linken offenbar der Fall. Ob es naiv ist, das ausschließlich einer Partei zuzuschreiben, hängt davon ab, was man unter „ausschließlich“ versteht. Die Linke hat die Nähe zu diesem Milieu besonders systematisch gepflegt und die Kritik daran besonders konsequent abgewehrt. Andere Parteien haben sich in Berlin jahrzehntelang damit arrangiert, dass bestimmte Stadtteile eigene Regeln entwickeln, in denen Staatlichkeit nur noch bedingt gilt. Die Angst, die Eralp jetzt formuliert, ist nicht aus dem Nichts entstanden. Sie ist das Ergebnis einer langen Entwicklung, in der man sich lieber mit bestimmten Kräften arrangiert hat, als sie klar zu benennen. Wer ins Rote Rathaus will, wird am Ende dafür verantwortlich sein, wie in Berlin mit genau diesen Kräften umgegangen wird. Eine Kandidatin, die schon vor dem Amtsantritt fürchtet, einen Namen zu nennen, macht deutlich, unter welchen Bedingungen sie arbeiten würde. Das ist kein Detail aus dem internen Büroalltag. Das ist die Beschreibung der tatsächlichen Machtverhältnisse in Teilen dieser Stadt. Berlin hat sich daran gewöhnt, solche Realitäten als Randerscheinung zu behandeln. Der Spiegel hat heute gezeigt, dass sie es nicht sind. #GPN #FPN #UPN #GBPN
