As you likely already heard, Telegram's CEO Durov was arrested for spreading misinformation But what you might not realize is that the New York Times literally leaked that the CIA lied about starting the war with Russia, by building bases on the border and firing into Russia, way before the invasion. So it's the US media that is spreading misinformation. Quote Lying MSN: "Durov’s preference for hands-off moderation has also helped make it a haven for misinformation, with the site only controlling its content when it’s forced to do so by other governments and organizations." This only further demonstrates the need for better technology and more anonymity to defy irrational tyranny.

It is truly disgusting that you are accusing anyone of criticizing US foreign policy as automatically a “Putin puppet” to oppress knowledge. You should remove the Bitcoin symbol from your profile, as the primary purpose of separating money and the state would be to starve the central banking from funding the exact thing you’re right now a cheerleader for.

You need to reread your own NYT article. It literally says the US did not “fire into Russia,” as you allege. It says that basss were used for intelligence. It describes how Ukrainian units took some actions against Russian forces in Russian occupied Ukraine.

Not far away, a discreet passageway descends to a subterranean bunker where teams of Ukrainian soldiers track Russian spy satellites and eavesdrop on conversations between Russian commanders. On one screen, a red line followed the route of an explosive drone threading through Russian air defenses from a point in central Ukraine to a target in the Russian city of Rostov. The underground bunker, built to replace the destroyed command center in the months after Russia’s invasion, is a secret nerve center of Ukraine’s military. There is also one more secret: The base is almost fully financed, and partly equipped, by the CIA. ~ Around 2016, the CIA began training an elite Ukrainian commando force — known as Unit 2245 — which captured Russian drones and communications gear so that CIA technicians could reverse-engineer them and crack Moscow’s encryption systems. (One officer in the unit was Kyrylo Budanov, now the general leading Ukraine’s military intelligence.) And the CIA also helped train a new generation of Ukrainian spies who operated inside Russia, across Europe, and in Cuba and other places where the Russians have a large presence. ~ Toward the end of 2021, according to a senior European official, Putin was weighing whether to launch his full-scale invasion when he met with the head of one of Russia’s main spy services, who told him that the CIA, together with Britain’s MI6, were controlling Ukraine and turning it into a beachhead for operations against Moscow. ~ Also the violent coup from a few years earlier we wrote about, wanna comment on that?
