If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

40,000 Ukrainian Children Illegally Deported to Russian Re-Education Camps

Amira Barkhush  |  Sep 03, 2024  |  14:16


According to the Regional Center for Human Rights, Russian-installed authorities deported 40,000 children from occupied Ukrainian territories during the summer of 2024.

According to the statements of the representatives of the occupation administrations, during the summer season of 2024, 40,000 Ukrainian children were taken to "re-education camps" as part of the "Useful Vacations" project. This is almost twice as much as last year.

The Regional Center for Human Rights has documented the relocation of Ukrainian children to various locations across Russia, including Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, and Tula. Some facilities are located as far as 8,000 kilometers (4,970 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

The Center’s analysts have identified 13 re-education camps in occupied Ukrainian territories, 18 in Belarus, and 67 in Russia. The curriculum at these camps includes training in shooting with automatic rifles, parachuting, drone operation, and landmine placement. Activities at these camps reportedly involve intense propaganda sessions designed to foster loyalty to Russia, along with military training.

The Human Rights Center reports that since the occupation of Crimea, parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the Russian Federation has been actively developing a network of "re-education camps", which today reaches hundreds of institutions. Their goal is to eradicate national identity, forcibly assimilate Ukrainian children and turn them into a resource for achieving their own geopolitical interests.

Gazprom Neft's Moscow Oil Refinery Halts Operations After Drone Attack

Maryna Kulakova  |  Sep 03, 2024  |  10:33


Gazprom Neft's Moscow Oil Refinery has halted operations at its Euro+ refining unit following a fire triggered by what is believed to be a large-scale drone attack on September 1, according to Reuters.

Reports indicate that numerous drones targeted several Russian regions, including Moscow, during the night of September 1. Moscow Mayor Sobyanin reported that one drone was shot down near the refinery, and a fire caused damage to one of the plant's buildings, as noted by Russia's state-owned Ria Novosti.

Reuters sources revealed that the Euro+ unit, which constitutes about 50 percent of the refinery's capacity, might resume operations within five to six days once repairs are completed.

Last year, the Moscow plant processed 11.6 million tons of crude oil, but the extent of the damage's impact on refining capabilities remains unclear.

Indictment: Russian propagandists used Tennessee content company to push disinformation

Evan Mealins, Kirsten Fiscus  |  Sept 04, 2024  |  2:17 pm CDT


An indictment unsealed Wednesday alleges a Tennessee content creation company was the tool a team of Russian propagandists used to infiltrate U.S. audiences with Kremlin-backed messaging.

Two Russian nationals who worked for Russia Today, a Russian state-controlled media outlet, were indicted on accusations they funneled nearly $10 million to a Tennessee-based online content creation company to publish English-language videos on social media sites like TikTok, Instagram, X and YouTube. The company's more than 2,000 videos posted in the last 10 months have been viewed more than 16 million times just on YouTube, according to the indictment.

The indictment, unsealed in the federal court for the Southern District of New York, doesn't identify the Tennessee company, but descriptions in the indictment match those of Tennessee-based Tenet Media.

The indictment states the company described itself on its website as "a network of heterodox commentators that focus on Western political and cultural issues." Tennessee-based company Tenet Media has the same message on its homepage. The indictment states the Tennessee-based company was incorporated around Jan. 19, 2022, which matches records from the Tennessee Secretary of State's Office. The indictment says the company applied to the Tennessee Department of State to conduct business on May 22, 2023.  .  .

Putin Faces Growing Dissent From Allies Over Lack of Kursk Response

Brendan Cole  |  Sep 04, 2024  |  9:39 AM EDT


A Russian MP has questioned official accounts of Ukraine's incursion into Kursk, echoing concerns by Kremlin propagandists about Moscow's response to Kyiv's push into Russian territory that started a month ago.

Nationalist politician Yevgeny Fedorov, who is coordinator of Russia's National Liberation Movement, which champions the territorial integrity of the state, criticized the official narrative from Moscow, which has downplayed Ukraine's incursion.

Fedorov added how there was no mention of NATO troops being thrown out of Kursk, repeating Moscow's rhetoric claiming the bloc's involvement in the push. However, NATO said it had no warning and played no role in the first breach and capture of Russian territory since World War II.  .  .

Putin remains focused on Ukraine because that's where the oil and gas are.  Kursk doesn't have any.

Blaze fires contributor linked to alleged Russian operation

https://www.semafor.com/article/09/05/2024/blaze-fires-contributor-linked-to-russian-operation

Quote
A conservative American media company has fired one of the YouTubers implicated in an alleged Russian influence operation exposed by the US Department of Justice this week.

“Lauren Chen was an independent contractor, whose contract has been terminated,” Blaze Media CEO Tyler Cardon said in an email to Semafor.

Chen and her husband, Liam Donovan, are the co-founders of Tenet Media, a previously obscure media company that paid eye-popping sums to right-wing influencers to produce videos that echoed Russian propaganda and other right-wing talking points, according to an indictment.
