It’s now illegal in Russia to share an image of Putin as a gay clown

Russia has banned a picture depicting President Vladimir Putin as a potentially gay clown.

Russian news outlets are having trouble reporting exactly which image of the Internet's many Putin-gay-clown memes is now illegal to share. Because, you know, it's been banned.

But the picture was described last week on the Russian government's list of things that constitute “extremism.”

Item 4071: a picture of a Putin-like person “with eyes and lips made up,” captioned with an implicit anti-gay slur, implying “the supposed nonstandard sexual orientation of the president of the Russian Federation.”

The Moscow Times thinks it probably looks like this:

That poster became popular in 2013, after Russia passed a law banning propagandizing to children about “nontraditional sexual relations,” and gay rights protesters were beaten and arrested.

But gay Putin memes have proliferated as Russia has cracked down on both sexual liberties and online speech in recent years.

Thus, another news site thinks the banned image is this one:

(The other man in that picture is Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, by the way. He's more commonly associated with sleeping memes than sexuality issues, though in 2015, he signed an order banning transgender people from driving.)

A Kremlin spokesman told Russia's state-run news service, Tass, that he hadn't seen the Putin-clown picture, though he was sure it didn't bother the president.

“Kremlin says Putin skilled at brushing off ‘vulgarities’ hurled against him,” reads the state-sanctioned headline on that interview.

The Kremlin has also become fairly adept at controlling what people say about each other on the Internet.

Russia passed its first “Internet extremism” laws in 2013, according to the Moscow Times — a year after Putin returned to the presidency and began restricting civil rights.

A year later, the paper reported, Putin signed a law imposing prison sentences for people who give so much as thumbs-up to a forbidden online post. Those include an article about a theoretical coup, which landed a philosophy professor in detention.

In 2015, Russian authorities began shutting down websites of Putin critics, and restricting nearly all anonymous blogs, The Washington Post reported. And Russia's Internet censor has long allowed public figures to file court complaints if they run across a meme that misrepresents their “personality.” Like this one, maybe.

Last year, United Press International and other outlets reported on a single mother sentenced to community service for reposting a cartoon of Putin looking at a map with a knife in his hand. And a former naval captain from Rostov who reposted an antiwar report about Ukraine got a two-year suspended sentence and one year of probation for inciting hatred and animosity.

The Post reported on evidence of a government plan to block online announcement of an antigovernment rally in Moscow last weekend, after arresting hundreds at the last protest.

The saga of the banned Putin clown actually began years ago, when a man posted a slew of offensive images to a Russian Facebook clone.

They included openly racist and anti-immigrant posts, according to Radio Free Europe. The man was convicted last year, his social media account was shut down, and he was placed in psychiatric care.

FBI Using 'Peeing Russian Prostitutes' Dossier as 'Roadmap' for 2016 Investigation

The dossier, which contains wild and unproven claims about Trump and sordid sexual acts, including the mocked claim that Trump hired prostitutes and had them urinate on a hotel room bed, was compiled by former intelligence agent Christopher Steele, who was reportedly paid by Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans to investigate Trump.

Video Nunes requests FBI and NSA directors for briefing

Caption Settings Dialog

Beginning of dialog window. Escape will cancel and close the window.

Mike Morell, who served as deputy director of the Central Intelligence Agency and twice as acting director, has questioned the dossier’s credibility as have news media reports worldwide.

“The roadmap for the investigation, publicly acknowledged now for the first time, comes from Christopher Steele, once of Britain’s secret intelligence service MI6,” the BBC’s Paul Wood reported.

Wood acknowledged that until now “no single piece of evidence has been made public proving that the Trump campaign joined with Russia to steal the US presidency – nothing.”

But he wrote that “the FBI Director, James Comey, told a hushed committee room in Congress last week that this is precisely what his agents are investigating.”

Wood related that Steele’s dossier “contains a number of highly contested claims.”

But one of the claims in the controversial document was purportedly verified by Wood – that Mikhail Kalugin, a Russian diplomat pulled out of Washington by Moscow, was a Russian agent.

Wood relates that “sources I know and trust have told me the US government identified Kalugin as a spy while he was still at the embassy.”

Of course, in the diplomatic world it is widely known that many top foreign diplomats report back to their home countries about information gleaned in the host country.

Spelling Kalugin’s name wrong, Steele at one point claimed: “A leading Russian diplomat, Mikhail KULAGIN, had been withdrawn from Washington at short notice because Moscow feared his heavy involvement in the US presidential election operation… would be exposed in the media there.”

The FBI is not alone in relying on Steele. Earlier this month, Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on a House intelligence committee, cited Steele as a source repeatedly when he delivered his opening statements at a hearing where he laid out the case for alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.

The Washington Post reported that after being paid to compile opposition research on Trump by the billionaire’s opponents during the election, Steele “reached an agreement with the FBI a few weeks before the election for the bureau to pay him to continue his work, according to several people familiar with the arrangement.”

Ultimately, the FBI did not pay, Steele, the Post reported.

The Post report continued:

Communications between the bureau and the former spy were interrupted as Steele’s now-famous dossier became the subject of news stories, congressional inquiries and presidential denials, according to the people familiar with the arrangement, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.

In light of the Post report, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley earlier this month sent a letter requesting information on whether the FBI utilized Steele.

In the letter, Grassley questioned the FBI’s intentions over the Steele report:

The idea that the FBI and associates of the Clinton campaign would pay Mr. Steele to investigate the Republican nominee for President in the run-up to the election raises further questions about the FBI’s independence from politics, as well as the Obama administration’s use of law enforcement and intelligence agencies for political ends.

Citing current and former government officials, the New Yorker reported the dossier prompted skepticism among intelligence community member, with the publication quoting one member as saying it was a “nutty” piece of evidence to submit to a U.S. president.

Steele’s work has been questioned by former acting CIA director Morell, who currently works at the Hillary Clinton-tied Beacon Global Strategies LLC. Beacon was founded by Phillippe Reines, who served as Communications Adviser to Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state. From 2009-2013, Reines also served in Clinton’s State Department as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Strategic Communications. Reines is the managing director of Beacon.

NBC News reported on Morell’s questions about Steele’s credibility:

Morell, who was in line to become CIA director if Clinton won, said he had seen no evidence that Trump associates cooperated with Russians. He also raised questions about the dossier written by a former British intelligence officer, which alleged a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. …

Morell pointed out that former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said on Meet the Press on March 5 that he had seen no evidence of a conspiracy when he left office January 20.

“That’s a pretty strong statement by General Clapper,” Morell said.

Regarding Steele’s dossier, Morell stated, “Unless you know the sources, and unless you know how a particular source acquired a particular piece of information, you can’t judge the information — you just can’t.”

Morell charged the dossier “doesn’t take you anywhere, I don’t think.”

“I had two questions when I first read it. One was, How did Chris talk to these sources? I have subsequently learned that he used intermediaries.”

Morell continued:

And then I asked myself, why did these guys provide this information, what was their motivation? And I subsequently learned that he paid them. That the intermediaries paid the sources and the intermediaries got the money from Chris. And that kind of worries me a little bit because if you’re paying somebody, particularly former FSB officers, they are going to tell you truth and innuendo and rumor, and they’re going to call you up and say, “Hey, let’s have another meeting, I have more information for you,” because they want to get paid some more.

I think you’ve got to take all that into consideration when you consider the dossier.

Trump Removes Stephen Bannon From National Security Council Post

Wednesday April 5th, 2017 at 6:24 PM

1 Share

WASHINGTON — President Trump reshuffled his national security organization on Wednesday, removing his chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, from a top policy-making committee and restoring senior military and intelligence officials who had been downgraded when he first came into office.

The shift was orchestrated by Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, who was tapped as Mr. Trump’s national security adviser after the resignation of Michael T. Flynn, who stepped down in February after being caught misleading Vice President Mike Pence and other White House officials about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador.

General McMaster inherited an organizational scheme for the National Security Council that stirred protests because of Mr. Bannon’s role. The original setup made Mr. Bannon, the former chairman of Breitbart News, a member of the principals committee that typically includes cabinet-level officials like the vice president, secretary of state and defense secretary. The original order also made the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the director of national intelligence only occasional participants as issues demanded.

Critics said Mr. Bannon’s presence in a national security policy-making structure risked politicizing foreign policy.

A new order issued by Mr. Trump, dated Tuesday and made public on Wednesday, removes Mr. Bannon from the principals committee, restores the chairman of the Joint Chiefs and intelligence director and also adds the energy secretary, C.I.A. director and United Nations ambassador.

A senior White House official presented the move as a logical evolution, not a setback for Mr. Bannon. He had originally been put on the principals committee to keep an eye on Mr. Flynn and to “de-operationalize” the National Security Council after the Obama administration, this official said on condition of anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. This official said that process had been completed.

Another official close to Mr. Bannon insisted the move was not in any way a sign that the president had lost confidence in him or wanted to reduce his portfolio. And as evidence he will still play a role in national security decisions, the aide said that Mr. Bannon still maintains the highest level of security clearance in the West Wing.

But the reorganization seemed a clear victory for General McMaster as he struggles to assert control over national security. In addition to the changing membership of the principals committee, the new order also puts the Homeland Security Council under General McMaster rather than making it a separate entity, as Mr. Trump’s original order had done.

General McMaster had envisioned making these changes shortly after taking the job in February, but proceeded slowly to avoid inflaming an already volatile situation. Mr. Bannon and his allies initially insisted his position would not change under any reorganization by General McMaster, but eventually the president was convinced that it was wiser to take him off the principals committee.

The principals committee, led by the national security adviser, is the primary policy-making body for national security, and decides questions that do not rise to the level of the president himself. The committee also debates issues that will get sent to the president, and frames the choices for him.

Political advisers traditionally have not served on the committee. President George W. Bush kept his senior adviser, Karl Rove, out of sensitive national security meetings. President Barack Obama permitted his senior adviser, David Axelrod, to sit in on some, but he was not given formal status and he has said he merely observed and did not participate.

In addition to giving Mr. Bannon formal membership, the original national security organization reduced the role of the chairman of the Joint Chiefs and national intelligence director, stipulating that they would attend only “where issues pertaining to their responsibilities are to be discussed.”

Members of Mr. Trump’s team said they did not mean to downgrade them; they simply took Mr. Bush’s original order and cut and pasted language into theirs, not realizing that the two officials had been upgraded under Mr. Obama.

Bannon Taken Off Trump National Security Council in Shake-Up (2)

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump reorganized his National Security Council on Wednesday, removing chief strategist Stephen Bannon from a key committee and restoring the roles of top intelligence and defense officials, according to a person familiar with the decision and a notice published in the Federal Register.

The realignment increases the influence of National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, whose public stances were sometimes at odds with those of Bannon. In addition to gaining greater control over the NSC, McMaster will have the Homeland Security Council under his authority.

Surprising new poll reveals who voters think influences Trump the most. Aaron Dickens reports.

Media: Buzz60

The change downgrades the role of Homeland Security Adviser Tom Bossert, who had been given authority to convene or chair the NSC’s principals committee under Trump’s original structure. He’ll serve those roles now as delegated by McMaster, according to a presidential memorandum dated Tuesday.

The national intelligence director, Dan Coats, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine Corps General Joseph Dunford, are again “regular attendees” of the principals committee, as in the Obama administration. Trump downgraded their roles and put Bannon on the committee in a Jan. 28 memorandum.

The secretary of energy, the Central Intelligence Agency director and the United Nations ambassador also were added to the principals committee under Wednesday’s revisions.

Trusted Adviser

Bannon, the former executive chairman of Breitbart News, is one of Trump’s most trusted and controversial advisers. He has channeled the populist and nationalist sentiment that propelled Trump’s presidential campaign, and his placement on the NSC committee drew criticism from some members of Congress and Washington’s foreign policy establishment who said it risked politicizing the security advice provided to the president.

A White House official portrayed the change as a natural progression rather than a demotion for Bannon. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, contended that Bannon was placed on the committee in part to monitor Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and never attended a meeting. He’s no longer needed with McMaster in charge of the council, the official said.

It isn’t clear why Bannon would be needed on the committee under Flynn but not under McMaster. A second White House official said that Trump was never comfortable with Bannon on the panel, but that his removal didn’t indicate any erosion of his influence within the White House.

Bannon will retain his security clearance, the first official said.

Still, his departure from the NSC role was applauded by some Republicans as well as Democrats. Republican Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida called it “welcome news” in a tweet.

Flynn’s Firing

Trump fired Flynn on Feb. 13 for not disclosing to the president or to Vice President Mike Pence the extent of his conversations with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, before Trump’s inauguration. He now is enmeshed in the multiple investigations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and whether any Trump associates had improper contacts with Russian government agents.

Trump’s selection of McMaster reassured some administration critics. A decorated officer, McMaster has a reputation for speaking truth to authority. In his 1997 book “Dereliction of Duty,” he criticized military officers for failing to challenge former President Lyndon B. Johnson and then-Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara over their handling of the Vietnam War. He wrote that the U.S. lost that war in the political corridors of Washington, not the battlefield.

The key to the kingdom: psychometrics

Wednesday April 5th, 2017 at 5:30 PM

I suspected Trump’s surprise electoral victory was Russia’s doing, until I discovered an important puzzle piece I knew nothing about. Now I believe the meddler extraordinaire was more complicated, sinister, and insidious than Kremlin hacking alone. Have you ever heard of “psychometrics?” I hadn’t until I happened upon an article called “The Data That Turned the World Upside Down” (Das Magazin).
Psychometrics or psychographics measures the “Big Five” personality traits: openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Originally developed in the 1980s through long and complex questionnaires, personality analysis catapulted into the future when Polish psychology student Michal Kosinski arrived on the scene at Cambridge University. He and fellow doctoral candidate David Stillwell developed the immensely popular MyPersonality app based on the Big Five, which was “shared” and “liked” exponentially. The psychometric scores, combined with Facebook profiles, soon became the largest database ever collected.
I decided to be a guinea pig and take Kosinski’s Big Five Personality test based on my Facebook profile. The result of the test showed that my five personality traits are: 1. Openness: 81 percent liberal and artistic vs. conservative and traditional; 2. Conscientious: 46 percent impulsive and spontaneous vs. organized and hardworking; 3. Extraversion: 27 percent contemplative vs. engaged with outside world; 4. Agreeableness: 51 percent team working and trusting vs. competitive; and 5. Neuroticism: 29 percent laid back and relaxed vs. easily stressed and emotional. Further explanations are provided at the end of the test results. You can take the University of Cambridge Psychometrics Centre personality test at <a href="http://applymagicsauce.com" rel="nofollow">applymagicsauce.com</a> based on your Facebook history or text that you’ve written. But user beware.
If you are concerned about your personal privacy and how likely you are to be strategically targeted, you might care to know that with fewer than 100 Facebook “likes,” data companies know a person’s skin color, intelligence, family status, religious, sexual, and political preferences. With 300 “likes,” they know a person better than their partner does, some studies claim. Combined with Messenger, Google searches, purchases, and whereabouts with or without phones in our pockets, our lives are open books. We benefit from certain rewards, but are easy targets, unaware of how vulnerable we are to manipulation from sites that collect personal information on our personality traits, consumer, and political preferences. Artificial intelligence is a formidable foe.
The plot thickened when I learned that a company called Cambridge Analytica secretly registered in 2013 to influence U.S. elections. They sent a psych student named Aleksandr Kogan to buy Kosinski’s and Stillwell’s information gathering techniques. But when Kogan was turned down, he moved to Singapore and changed his name to Dr. Spectre, while Cambridge Analytica copied the inventors’ highly efficient people search engine model and used it for sinister use. Instead of blanket advertising, Cambridge Analytica individually and covertly targeted voters of a precise age, opinion, preference, and voting district with “dark post” newsfeed messages specifically designed to sway their votes, according to an article titled “The Secret Agenda of a Facebook Quiz,” which appeared in the New York Times. Its mother company, Strategic Communication Laboratories (SCL), was the foremost election management agency. They conducted “psyops,” psychological operations of mass propaganda aimed at people’s emotions, to “manage” elections and refine their operations in Nigeria, Nepal, the Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
Then I read on Wikipedia that in 2014, Cambridge Analytica played a role in boosting republican candidates in 44 political races across the U.S. They worked for Ted Cruz’s presidential run in 2015. In 2016 Marco Rubio spent $3 million for CA’s services and Ben Carlson spent $220,000 for their “data management” and “web service.” With each campaign, they refined their edge. Even Donald Trump, who paid Cambridge Analytica $15 million, was surprised by their effectiveness in strategically influencing his electoral win.
Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander James Ashburner Nix boasted on <a href="http://telegram.com" rel="nofollow">telegram.com</a>, “We are thrilled that our revolutionary approach to data-driven communication has played such an integral part in President-elect Trump’s extraordinary win.” He’d made the same speech before when his company helped the UK’s pro-Brexit election in Leave.EU. No wonder Trump then tweeted he’d be called “Mr. Brexit.” Of course, Nix, Trump, and other GOP White House staff later denied that Cambridge Analytica’s personalized political propaganda played a pivotal role in the election results.
Why in the world would Cambridge Analytica be interested in Trump’s victory? Who owns the company? What would they gain? Robert and Rebekah Mercer, the extreme right wing hedge fund billionaire father and daughter who heavily funded Cambridge Analytica and the Republican Super PAC. Deborah served on the Executive Committee of Trump’s transition team and is “the most powerful woman in GOP politics” according to Politico. Guess who was, until recently, a VP on their board? Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon.
Whoa! I thought. This is huge!!! This goes way beyond fake news and makes calls to the Russian Ambassador look like child’s play. I followed leads to try to unravel the mystery. Cambridge Analytica has psychological profiles on 220-230 million Americans based on 5,000 different bits of data. Cambridge Analytica has 175,000 different versions of political ads to laser-target voters and influence elections. In 2016, the Mercer Foundation was the top sole donor to Trump and to federal candidates with a sum of $32 million. Cambridge Analytica offices are not located in Europe where privacy is protected, but in the U.S. because of our lax laws. Our near sighted Senate just voted to further undo privacy legislation!
But it doesn’t stop there. Robert Mercer donated Cambridge Analytica’s services to UK Independence Party’s Nigel Farage, his good friend, for the Brexit Leave.eu campaign. When Mercer met Breitbart, it was a match made in heaven (or hell!). Mercer funded <a href="http://Breitbart.com" rel="nofollow">Breitbart.com</a> to “take back the culture” according to Bannon who took over Breitbart when its founded died. Bannon launched the London Breitbart in time to influence the UK’s election, and plans to do the same in France and Germany, according to <a href="http://theguardian.com" rel="nofollow">theguardian.com</a>.
Mercer doesn’t believe in government and thinks it should be shrinked to near non-existence. He doesn’t believe in any social services. Mercer supported Bannon’s and Kellyanne Conway’s appointments to senior positions in the Trump campaign and White House. Rebekah Mercer worked with Bannon on creating the anti-Hillary propaganda film, “Clinton Cash.” The FEC Federal Election Commission and FBI have been asked to look into the highly suspicious Mercer-Super PAC-Trump connections, according to Newsweek. Oh my!
For those of us who are already addicted to Facebook and have “liked” and “shared” our way across cyberspace, it’s too late. For those who are too old or too young, save yourselves! Big brother is indeed watching and only God knows how this will affect our present and future lives. I am trying very hard to envision a future where our society is in sync with our souls, where our “better angels” sit on our shoulders and call forth our greatest good. . . I envision a society where all people are valued and treated with kindness and tolerance, where government serves the people with compassion and respect. I envision programs that raise each citizen to their true potential.
In looking critically at what is transpiring in our nation now, I hope that we are growing stronger by recognizing the dissonance of our values and new reality. We as individuals are reading between the lines, listening attentively for the distractions and comments that could put us off balance. Instead, we see them for what they are. In the nature of the cycles of a capitalist society, we’ve swung from the Era of the New Deal to the Era of the Alt. Right, led by the Good Old Boy Billionaires’ Club. But through our power, we will arise, look around and find our center, to recreate and regenerate a great society that meets all of its peoples’ needs.
