EXCERPT

quote
The C.I.A. took to YouTube and various social media platforms Monday (May 2) to post instructions on how Russians could use secure virtual private networks, or VPNs, to download a secure browser to contact the agency via the anonymity of the dark web.

The instructions, written in Russian, are meant to be relatively simple to follow. Russians are told to use a VPN to contact the C.I.A. They can also download the Tor browser, which allows users to access the dark web and submit information anonymously, without either the agency knowing where it came from or Russian security services knowing someone was contacting the Americans. . . .

While Russia is blocking Western social media, YouTube remains accessible. The agency is also using other undisclosed means to push out its instructions.

Yes, the CIA (Civilization Instigators Agency). Destabilizing the entire world. The CIA also love to use the dark web for trafficking various 'things' to the elite, just like the OSS before it.

The Dulles bros and the paperclips system still@work.

Maybe, since we're such a desensitized society, our tax and foreign funded agencies will release all info on what's going on over there. Instead of letting the media feed us crumbs of info to push narratives.

"Russia’s War Has Been Brutal, but Putin Has Shown Some Restraint. Why?"

quote
Western officials are debating the Kremlin’s calculations in not trying harder to halt weapons shipments in Ukraine. Analysts wonder whether a bigger mobilization by Moscow is on the horizon.

Let's have the first three paragraphs, shall we not?

quote
Russia’s war against Ukraine has leveled cities, killed tens of thousands of people and forced millions of others from their homes.

But quietly, some military analysts and Western officials are asking why the onslaught has not been even worse.

Russia could be going after Ukrainian railways, roads and bridges more aggressively to try to stanch the flow of Western weapons to the front line. It could have bombed more of the infrastructure around the capital, Kyiv, to make it harder for Western leaders to visit President Volodymyr Zelensky in shows of unity and resolve. And it could be doing far more to inflict pain on the West, whether by cyberattack, sabotage or more cutoffs of energy exports to Europe.


On the front page of today's New York Times. The very same questions that have been on my mind. These questions are considered in the article. But there are no clear answers.
