#1 What's the harm in reading Russian propaganda, the better to compare with MSM/Uniparty/Brandon propaganda? Free speech, anyone?

#2 If it made it into print, it's mostly lies. If it's being broadcast on TeeVee or radio, it's all lies.

#3 Caitlyn Johnstone is an important dissident thinker. The fact that the US war machine is trying to censor her means she must be hitting the target.

RT is good information as long as the topic isn't Russia. They host all sorts of thought criminals who aren't welcome on the pedophile networks like CNN.

#4 You have your Russian disinformation and you have your American disinformation. US Senator Mark Warner just can't stand the competition.

#5 Question for the more tech savy at Rantburg.
Would it be impossible to just block out a country to keep hackers and such based in that country from hacking outside of their nation (at least not without travelling geographically)?

My gut says no, but I don't really know so I thought i'd ask.

#6 There are so many ways around it, your guess is basically correct, ruprecht. What companies do have to do is make sure they are up to speed on watching for the attacks themselves.

#7 Very difficult to cut off all connectivity. Difficult but not impossible to turn off most high bandwidth access. (Extremely limited explanation: Most long distance Internet traffic flows through very high bandwidth 'peering points' that join up various national and commercial IP carriers. If those that are peered with Russian networks started cutting them off, it would choke the data flow into and out of Russia. So you have to persuade those peering operators to do so.)

#8 There are always 'independents'. Vlad has no problem with 'them' operating from his territories. "As always, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions."

#11 I think "she" was previously Bruce Johnstone?
