"Unless your organization has mastered certain sophisticated ideas about media and communications, it will end up getting shut out of any international negotiations or lobby efforts in the corridors of Washington or the EU." My latest on Substack. 👇 jeffpropulsion.substack.com/p/diaspora-g...

Diaspora groups need real communications expertise
There are countless diaspora communities in the West, their respective peoples often looking to help achieve a better, more democratic regime back in their homelands.

The cowardice and moral bankruptcy of the West laid bare once again. Faced with a brazenly illegal war of aggression, using diplomacy as a cover, these governments condemn... the country that was attacked for fighting back. So much for international law and the 'rule-based order.'

One of the things stopping us from having a revolution and effectively defeating fascism is that a lot of people who would need to participate and fight unconsciously have been taught to view politics and struggle as entertainment and rely on the "thrill" of society disintegrating for content.

Just a reminder: these photos federal agents are taking are part of a growing surveillance state w no oversight. Agents use facial recognition, phone tracking, license plate readers, fused government databases built by contractors like Palantir. What was tested on immigrants is expanding to citizens

Since the BBC is pushing the angle that Iranian protesters are significantly monarchist (questionable), it's worth reading again how Reza Pahlavi, son of the late Shah, is no friend of democracy. www.fairobserver.com/politics/is-...

Is Reza Pahlavi Iran’s Key to Democracy?
Reza Pahlavi's supporters push for Iran to shift from a theocracy to a monarchy, likening it to Spain's transition under Juan Carlos.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?
