Ondřej Černý stated that two weeks ago he definitively canceled his account with Raiffeisenbank due to what he described as its collaboration with Russia. To support his stance, he recalled an alleged old Austrian proverb, according to which supporting the Russians may ultimately turn against those who accommodate them. #Raiffeisen #Rusko #Přísloví (translated)

Que la mecha reactiva de la vivienda haya sido una puta vieja con la cara de titanio exfuncionaria y sin hijos pagando 400€ en el Retiro y no haya sido una pareja joven pagando 2000€ en un bajo de Mordor nos da un buen retrato de la izquierda svbnormal de este expaís.

Fake NV – how a cloned newsroom turned an AI video into a $140 million corruption scandal For two days in September, a website that looked almost indistinguishable from one of Ukraine’s best-known news organisations carried an extraordinary corruption story. It claimed that Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau had raided former defence procurement chief Arsen Zhumadilov and discovered more than $140 million in cash packed inside refrigerator boxes. One box supposedly carried the words “For the Servant of the People” – an apparent reference to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s political party. The raid never happened. The photographs and video presented as evidence were fabricated, and the news organisation reporting the story was not the New Voice of Ukraine but a cloned version of it. The episode is a compact example of an increasingly effective disinformation technique. Rather than inventing a new propaganda outlet and trying to build its credibility from scratch, an operator can simply steal the identity of an established newsroom and place fabricated material inside an otherwise convincing copy of its editorial environment. A newsroom copied almost in full The counterfeit site appeared at nvukraine.com, while the authentic New Voice of Ukraine operates at nv.ua and english.nv.ua. Registration records examined by fact-checkers show that the false domain was created on 21 September 2026, two days before the fabricated article appeared. According to NV’s own investigation, the imitation went much further than copying a logo: the operators reproduced the site’s visual design, sections, branding, contact information and genuine editorial material. A snapshot of legitimate NV content from 23 September appears to have been copied onto the counterfeit site, into which the operators inserted a single false article. That article claimed that NABU had searched premises connected to Zhumadilov, who had headed Ukraine’s Defence Procurement Agency until August, and seized $140 million in cash. The story was published in several languages, including Ukrainian and English, suggesting that the operation was intended not only for Ukraine’s domestic information space but also for foreign audiences following the war and Western support for Kyiv. AI supplied the supposed evidence The false article was supported by a video purportedly showing the money discovered during the raid. NABU said no such search or procedural action had taken place and identified the footage as fabricated using artificial intelligence. Independent fact-checker Lead Stories found no credible Ukrainian or international reporting confirming either the raid or the alleged seizure, while searches of NABU’s own published material produced no evidence supporting the claim. The operation therefore combined two separate forms of synthetic credibility. The AI-generated footage supplied what looked like visual proof, while the cloned NV website supplied institutional proof: an apparently reputable Ukrainian newsroom supposedly confirming that the event had happened. Neither element needed to withstand close scrutiny for long. Together, they only needed to appear credible enough to be copied, quoted and redistributed before the deception was exposed. From a fake Ukrainian source into the Russian information ecosystem On 24 September, the story began moving through large pro-Russian Telegram channels. Ukraine’s Center for Strategic Communications traced early amplification to Golos Mordora, with roughly 149,000 subscribers, and Militarist, with around 277,000. Within less than an hour, other channels including VOBLA, Rossiya Seychas and Ostashko! Vazhnoye were circulating versions of the same claim. It subsequently appeared on X and on Russian-language websites including e-news.su and pressa24.ru. Babel calculated that posts carrying the fabrication had accumulated approximately 370,000 views by the morning of 25 September. The story also moved beyond the Russian-language ecosystem. English-language versions appeared in online communities including Lemmy and Hexbear, while accounts on X shared direct links to the counterfeit NV article. NV later reported that larger Russian media and propaganda outlets, including RIA Novosti, Life, Vesti, Ukraina.ru and Mail.ru, had reproduced or discussed the claim. Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and a Kremlin representative involved in contacts with the United States, also shared it on 25 September. This amplification is significant, but it should not be confused with proof of authorship. Publicly available evidence shows how the false story entered and spread through a Russian and pro-Russian information ecosystem. It does not establish which organisation registered the cloned domain, generated the video or directed the operation from the outset. Why copy NV? The operation relied on source laundering. A claim originating directly from a Russian Telegram channel that Ukraine’s defence procurement system had concealed $140 million would immediately carry an obvious political context. A claim apparently uncovered by an established Ukrainian newsroom looks very different. Once the fabricated NV article existed, subsequent accounts could cite what appeared to be an independent Ukrainian source rather than present the allegation as their own. Each repost moved the story another step away from its manufactured origin. The use of an English-language version strengthened that mechanism for audiences outside Ukraine. The underlying narrative was also carefully chosen. Corruption in Ukrainian defence procurement is a genuine subject of public scrutiny and investigative reporting, so the fabricated story did not require audiences to accept an entirely unfamiliar premise. It inserted a false event into a real area of political concern. That mixture of authentic context and fabricated evidence can be more persuasive than a completely invented story because much of the surrounding information feels recognisable. What can – and cannot – be attributed Ukrainian authorities and NV describe the episode as a Russian information operation, and its distribution can be documented extensively across pro-Russian and Russian media channels. The available public evidence, however, does not identify the organisation that created the counterfeit website, nor does it link the operation forensically to a named Russian intelligence service, military unit or state contractor. The most precise description is therefore a Russian-aligned disinformation operation whose fabricated material was systematically amplified through the Russian information ecosystem. That distinction matters. Distribution can be observed directly; command-and-control is harder to establish and should not be inferred without evidence. The newsroom itself becomes the deepfake The most important feature of the operation was not the $140 million figure or even the AI-generated video. It was the counterfeit newsroom surrounding them. The operators copied a real publication, populated it largely with genuine material and inserted a single false story, allowing the fabrication to borrow the accumulated credibility of journalists who had nothing to do with it. This points to a broader evolution in synthetic media. AI can fabricate an image, a voice or a video, but an influence operation can now fabricate something larger: the source that supposedly verified the evidence. In the Fake NV operation, the article, the video and the website reinforced one another, creating not simply a false story but a manufactured chain of credibility.

Sie leben im selben Land, zahlen dieselben Preise, erleben dieselbe politische und wirtschaftliche Umgebung – und empfinden ihre Lage völlig unterschiedlich. 57 Prozent der AfD-Anhänger und 41 Prozent der BSW-Anhänger sagen, sie hätten im Leben weniger bekommen, als ihnen gerechterweise zustehe. Was für mehr als jeden zweiten AfD-Anhänger offenbar Mordor ist, sehen Anhänger anderer Parteien bemerkenswert anders: Bei der SPD sagen das 15 Prozent, bei der CDU 10, bei den Grünen gerade einmal 8. Ob CDU und Grüne heimlich zusammen Joints rauchen, ist nicht überliefert. Das Muster ist nicht neu. Schon 2016 sagten in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 41 Prozent der AfD-Anhänger, sie hätten im Leben weniger bekommen, als ihnen zustehe. Bei der Linken waren es 29 Prozent, insgesamt 27. Seitdem hat die AfD in MV ihr Ergebnis fast verdoppelt, von 20,8 auf 38,2 Prozent. Das Gefühl, zu kurz zu kommen, ist mit ihr gewachsen: von 41 auf 57 Prozent. Insgesamt stieg der Wert nur von 27 auf 34. Ich sag mal so: Als Schwester von vier Brüdern habe ich sozusagen meine eigene Feldstudie hinter mir: selbe Voraussetzungen, unterschiedliches Empfinden. Und anschließend passiert ja noch Folgendes: Um diejenigen, die sich gekränkt oder benachteiligt fühlen, wird mehr Bohei gemacht, weil man ja alle glücklich haben will. Es wird nicht besser. Klar, alles nur anekdotische Evidenz. Und doch. Sollten wir bei immer weiter ansteigenden Zugewinnen der AfD nicht mal endlich aufhören zu fragen: „Wie erreichen wir die Gekränkten?“ Sollten wir stattdessen nicht lieber fragen: „Was passiert mit denen, die nicht gejammert haben, wenn das Jammern zwölf Jahre lang belohnt wird?“ Ich werde dieses unterschwellige Grummeln in meinem Bauch nicht los, dass wir hier nach guter alter Schwesternlogik irgendwann einfach mal die Tür zuschmeißen sollten – und zwar mit einem gepflegten: „Verpiss dich.“ #Politik #Gesellschaft #Wahlen

Recap #Sinner #Giorgi Camila Giorgi ha dato alla luce Magnus Vangelis. Bellissimo nome, sembra quello di un generale che nel 732 ha fermato gli Arabi a Poitiers. Un livello di epicità che merita più di un semplice benvenuto. Mi pare più adatto May the Force be with you. Morituri te salutant. Valar morghulis. Camila ha dichiarato che rientrerà nel tour allenata da suo marito. Quanto manca lo smarrimento che poteva generare solo lei, ripetendo lo stesso identico schema per tre ore. Senza voltarsi indietro. Senza titubare. Dritta fino all’alba del cinquantesimo gratuito o di una gloriosa vittoria. Torna presto: le variazioni le lasciamo ai tifosi senza fantasia. Intanto, sul fronte Sinner si è riaperto il dramma: salterà Pechino? Salterà l’Asia? Non si sa nulla. Potrebbe avere bisogno di più tempo, chissà se più nelle gambe o nella testa. “Nessuna notizia, buona notizia” - dicono i saggi. Dunque, fino a qui tutto bene. Fatto sta che su Jannik, ultimamente, per capirci qualcosa bisogna effettuare un’analisi forense sui metadati delle foto, dai quali ricavare: studio della tensione mandibolare. Latitudine e longitudine attraverso la vegetazione locale. In alternativa, bioluminescenza della segnaletica stradale riflessa sulle superfici metalliche. Confronto della curvatura delle labbra con l’archivio fisiognomico storico. Scansione a raggi x del buio oltre la siepe. E vabè. Parliamo di cose importanti. Nike ha fatto per Zheng un kit che si chiama “Fenice di fuoco scarlatto”. Le scarpe sono tutte tempestate di rosso, oro e vendicativa magniloquenza delle dinastie imperiali. Bellissime. Cattivissime. Le scarpe per Jannik, invece, avevano la volpina cicciottina e le improntine delle zampette. Abbiamo capito che alla Nike esiste il team Mordor e il team Paperopoli. Tranquillo Magnus: sulle tue ci sarà mamma. #tennis #tennis #Giorgi #Sinner

Płonąca moskiewska rafineria naftowa w Kapotni. W nocy Ukraina przeprowadziła największe uderzenie na Moskwę i obwód moskiewski tej wojny. Głównym celem była infrastruktura naftowa. Mer Moskwy Siergiej Sobianin przyznał, że to najpotężniejszy dotąd atak dronów na miasto. Termin nie jest przypadkowy: to ostatni dzień wyborów do Dumy. Jak poinformował prezydent Wołodymyr Zełenski, w uderzeniu na Moskwę po raz pierwszy użyto ukraińskiej rakiety balistycznej Pelican i setek dronów. Tymczasem niektóre dzielnice Moskwy coraz bardziej przypominają Mordor. #Ukraina #Moskwa #wojna

ZŠ a moji deváťáci. Věděla jsem, že školní rok chci začít hezky, protože nás (teda hlavně je) čeká mordor před JPZ (jsem na tenhle systém tak naštvaná, ale o tom jindy…). Přes WA žákům normálně nepíšu, ale potřebovala jsem mít jistotu, že si to o prázdninách přečtou… 🧵 https://t.co/AFFQfqr1dy #školství #vzdělání #deváťáci

Tomu říkám odchod s grácií a v dobrém Způsob jakým se rozloučíš ovlivňuje to, jak budeš vnímán, jakej punc ten tvůj zápis do historie našeho klubu bude (mrk mrk do Liberce) Doudisovi já děkuju za všechno co pro nás udělal a vážně toho nebylo málo. Měl jsem ho fakt rád ikdyž mě občas sral :D Nikdy nezapomenu jeho vítězný gól ve finále poháru v Mordoru proti rudejm Doudis díky moc a hodně štěstí v dalším angažmá i v životě 😍🫡🫶 #odchod #fotbal #děkujeme

V Litvě, Lotyšsku a Estonsku, v těchto hrdých evropských zemích na severovýchodním okraji Západu, jsem v posledních letech pobýval častěji. V těchto dnech na ně opravdu hodně myslím. Jsou na hranicích s agresivním Mordorem a spoléhají na naši pomoc a spojenecké závazky.🍀 https://t.co/5GMykHFcr3 #Pobaltí #Podpora #Bezpečnost #LT #LV #EE

Czytam, że akcja referendalna w Warszawie nie ma sensu, bo tutaj nawet Kacprzyk by został Prezydentem, że to miasto stracone, że to sypialnia słoikowych "europejczyków". Wszystko to poniekąd prawda, ale inna prawda jest taka, że możemy się z tą patologią pogodzić, albo próbować ją zmienić. Warszawa to też miasto, gdzie Karol Nawrocki zebrał setki tysięcy głosów. Ja namawiałam do głosowania na Karola w najbardziej ciemnych punktach Mordoru, na Domaniewskiej, przed urzędem dzielnicy Wilanów. Udawało się niektórych przekonać, byli też tacy, których przekonywać nie trzeba było. To, że dziś Warszawa to w dużej mierze Lemingrad, nie oznacza jeszcze, że za kilka lat taką pozostanie. Kiedyś Warszawa wybrała Lecha Kaczyńskiego i nie było to znowu też tak bardzo dawno. Kiedyś wahadło odbije i nawet ślepcy przejrzą na oczy. A tymczasem szykuję się na Legię :) #Warszawa #Polska #wybory

Jako chemického technologa mě dost fascinuje, že ruské rafinerie na ty ukrajinské údery vůbec nejsou připraveny. Z toho, jak tam šlehají ty obrovské plameny (teď v Omsku, ale i v Moskvě a jiných zasažených mordorských rafinériích), je zřejmé, že v době dopadu dronů byla technologie v normálním provozu, kolony a trubky byly plné uhlovodíků, v zařízeních byl tlak. Dopad dronu pak způsobí explozi uhlovodíků, rozsáhlý požár a destrukci technologie, která se bude opravovat měsíce nebo i roky. Přitom by stačilo před dopadem dronů havarijně odstavit technologii. Standardní odstavení rafinerie trvá dny až týdny, ale nouzově se dá rafinerie odstavit během několika hodin. Musí se uzavřít klíčové ventily, aby se části technologie oddělily, musí se odstavit čerpadla nastřikující uhlovodíky do kolon a dalších aparátů a systém se musí odtlakovat na fléru (polní hořák). Rafinerie na toto mají vypracované postupy pro případ různých havárií. Havarijní odstavení může technologii částečně poškodit, ale pokud dron zasáhne takto připravenou technologii, tak způsobí řádově menší škody, než když zasáhne technologii ve standardním provozu. Našel jsem, že ukrajinské drony Fire Point FP-1 letí rychlostí asi 200 km/h. Takže pokud letěly do Omsku 2500 km od hranice s Ukrajinou, tak nad Ruskem musely strávit přes 12 hodin. Rusácká protivzdušná obrana je příšerná a nedokáže ubránit ani Moskvu, ale předpokládal bych, že armáda ty drony aspoň detekuje, z trajektorie odhadne jejich cíl a dá rafineriím vědět, aby se připravily. To, že Rusko, země postavená na ropě, neumí ani ochránit svoje rafinerie, je důkaz toho, že ta země je úplně v prdeli, řídí to tam naprosto neschopní kreténi a celé se to tam brzo zhroutí. https://t.co/r4VHM6DobO #chemie #vojenskátechnika #energia

V článku Vladimíra Leksu sa porovnáva aktuálna geopolitická situácia v Európe s dielom J.R.R. Tolkiena, pričom Slovensko je vykreslené ako krajina na rozhraní medzi podporou Ukrajiny (Kraj) a Ruska (Mordor), s dôrazom na to, že občania musia v nadchádzajúcom referende vyjadriť svoj postoj k tomuto konfliktu a možnosti voľby nie sú dve, ale len jedna. #Referendum2026 #Ukrajina #Európa
