Ladislav Bittman / Czech defector - AI article produced

2024-02-08T10:27:00.000-03:00

Ladislav Bittman was a former Czechoslovak intelligence officer who specialized in disinformation and propaganda. He was the architect of a notorious operation known as Operation Neptune, which aimed to smear public figures in West Germany by planting forged Nazi documents in a lake in Czechoslovakia and then “discovering” them ¹. One of the targets of this operation was Franz Josef Strauss, the leader of the Christian Social Union and a candidate for chancellor in 1965 ².

Bittman also claimed that he was involved in another operation to spread false information about the role of the CIA in the 1964 coup in Brazil. He said that he forged documents that suggested that the CIA had supported and financed the overthrow of President João Goulart, and that he distributed them to Brazilian journalists who were on the payroll of the Czechoslovak intelligence service ³. He said that this operation was part of a larger campaign to undermine the credibility and influence of the United States in Latin America ³.

Bittman defected to the United States in 1968, after the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. He changed his name to Lawrence Martin-Bittman and became a professor of disinformation at Boston University. He wrote several books and articles exposing the Soviet and Czechoslovak disinformation tactics and warning about their dangers to democracy ¹. He died in 2018 at the age of 87 ¹.

Artificial Intelligence article on Anatolyi Golytsin " New Lies for Old" Book

2024-02-07T15:07:00.005-03:00

Anatolyi Golytsin was a former KGB officer who defected to the West in 1961. He wrote a book called New Lies for Old in 1984, in which he exposed the Soviet strategy of deception and disinformation against the Western world ¹. He claimed that the Soviet Union was planning a long-term scheme of pretending to reform and liberalize, while secretly preparing for a surprise attack and world domination ². He predicted some of the events that happened in the late 1980s and early 1990s, such as the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Cold War, and the rise of Gorbachev ¹.

Golytsin’s book was controversial and met with skepticism by many Western analysts and officials. Some of his critics accused him of being paranoid, delusional, or a disinformation agent himself ¹. However, some of his supporters, such as former CIA counterintelligence chief James Angleton, praised him for his courage, insight, and accuracy ³. Angleton wrote a review of Golytsin’s book, in which he endorsed his analysis and warned about the dangers of Soviet deception ³.

Golytsin’s book is still relevant today, as it provides a historical perspective on the Soviet tactics and goals, and raises questions about the current state of Russia and its relations with the West. You can read more about Golytsin and his book from the following sources:

New lies for old : the Communist strategy of deception and disinformation: This is another online version of Golytsin’s book, with a different format and cover.
Anatoliy Golitsyn’s first book, ‘New Lies for Old’, caused a running sensation when it was discovered that, unlike most Western analysts, the Author had accurately predicted some years ahead of the events, the ‘Break with the Past’ which took place in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union in 1989-91: This is a PDF file of a book by Christopher Story, called The Perestroika Deception, which builds on Golytsin’s analysis and provides more evidence and arguments for his thesis.

The truth about yellow vest movement in France

2019-01-07T09:17:00.002-02:00

I friend of mine, Erik Svane, from the blog "No Pasarán" has wrote an article about the truth of the yellow vest movement in France.

Here´s the text.

Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's president elect, by his own words.

2018-11-05T06:03:00.000-02:00

International lies about Jair Bolsonaro

2018-10-21T05:43:00.000-03:00

The Truth About Jair Bolsonaro, the "populist" brazilian candidate.

2018-10-18T06:52:00.001-03:00

It has been a long time since I posted the last time.
My life changed a lot, since I moved to Portugal, but I have never stopped to analyze the Brazil´s situation, but my comments are mostly made on facebook.
Overwhelmed on the wrong comments about the candidate Jair Bolsonaro (for Brazil elections) I have reading on portuguese and even foreign press, I decided to return to blogging.

1) Jair Bolsonaro is populist or extreme-right candidate: Wrong. In Brazil all majoritary parties are all from left, it is so massive that in 2006 elections Lula da Silva complimented that that year election would not have any "right party" running for president. Yes.
The Brazilian political landscape was very left centered (until this election). The perception from the people perspective was that "PSDB" (brazilian social democracy party) was "right" and "PT" (worker´s party) was left. But in fact is only a battle inside the same political block.
Since the democracy returned in the 80´s all the major parties become leftist more and more, until the "right" disapperared from the elections in 2006.
But every ups predicts its downs, from the deep down emerged some angry and revolt against the corruption and recession.
The manifestations against PT, the Dilma´s impeachment was a clear sign that the public was fed up about it.
At the other hand, the results from the operation "lava jato" (Car wash operation) made clear that the corruption was not coming from PT but it spilled into all major parties, including the intented "rightwing" party, PSDB.
From this perspective, emerged Jair Bolsonaro, the only politician that was not involved in any corruption scheme, a visceral (sometimes too visceral) defender of justice and family.
Jair Bolsonaro is tha a truly centered rightwing candidate. Not an "extremist". Don´t trust what you hear about it.
2) Jair Bolsonaro is new Hitler: Everytime a real opposition appeared it was always called "fascist" by the left, cause "fascist" is whatever and whoever the left wants it to be.
Jair Bolsonaro is very visceral in defense of what he cares the most: family values and fight the criminals, not matter what. All the comments on he as being "mysogynist", "racist", "homophobic" are just because he is against the feminism, race quotas and the gaysism agenda being pushed to the the kids. That´s all. About women, he is the only one in the parliament that defended the "chemical castration" to rapist. Of course all the Hitler comments came from his support laws in favour of the legal right to own and carry guns, in a way to ease brazilians from the burden of nearly 60.000 deaths a year caused by criminals.
3) Jair Bolsonaro is the new Trump: Maybe this is correct only in the way the public perceived his candidacy not the origin and not the way his campaign is being ran. Trump is a billionarie that could spend millions into his campaign. Bolsonaro almost hasn´t own resources, so his campaign was done by the internet. He become a popular "meme" for his outlandish and boldly remarks against his opposition in parliament and even the press. Here is some similarity, cause Trump and Bolsonaro were mocked as a "joke" by the official press. The other difference is that Trump reignited an almost dead party, but Bolsonaro had to create his own party, cause no one major party accepted his candidacy. The main differences are: While Trump started as an economic libertarian and social liberal and became more nationalist and conservative, Bolsonaro started as nationalist and conservative, now he is more libertarian in terms of economy but conservative the same.

Hope he is going to win the 28th October elections!

The Achemical Gay Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz

2015-07-01T14:46:00.001-03:00

Conservatives, you must understand one thing for once and for all: You are not fighting against "political ideals" or even "rights" from the regular political view point. No.
You are trying to find a set of ideals that resemble "IV Reich" and, just like the latter, have its roots profoundly interlaced in occultism, alchemy and theosophy.

The goal of this "marriage" is not the "happiness" of anyone, but the destruction of the very concept of marriage between man and woman as God has defined it.

You are not debating with people. They are avatars of something with a different stuff. They are puppets of the New Order and they are very passionate of their beliefs. They believe in "science" but cannot react to any rational argument. They are opposed to the very idea that women (or men) can marry a man (or woman) to be happy, instead, they advocate that no woman need to be married to be happy. No woman need to be mother to be happy.
But gays, they MUST marry to be happy!

No, you can´t catch up with this. No rational arguments will stop them from trying to destruct everything that was put in place (as a result of centuries long hard work) to bring up a society based on justice, self-determination, freedom and God.

They think they are "rational" but their talking points are no more than idea implants given by the leaders.

The gay movement is the one good example: instead of trying to help their "brothers" assassinated on Iran, Russia, or by ISIS, they turn their heads from them and focus on the joy of "wedding". They don´t try to test it on Iran, Russia, because what is in stake is not the homosexual "rigth", but the ability to use them as a weapon against the judeo-christian heritage.

The "wedding" / "marriage" is, in fact, of the alchemical origin and was designed to a sign of the transformation of the man to god, asserting the ability of tuning wishes into reality , not matter if it is against physics or biology. Or logic.

I have to talk about the "20 cents revolution" in my country.

You know that for most of the last 10 years, I have been a critic of Brazil´s government.

Many people have been questioning me about the "miracle" of the last years. I have been said that it was propaganda only.

But I am not happy for I´d been right, after all.

Because this "protests" can give birth to something worse.

There´s no political right in Brazil. No opposition leader has emerged. It is an erratic movement. It is clear that the left will swallow it for its own purposes. They will push for a radical left twist in the government.

This definitely is worse than what has been until now.

Olavo de Carvalho Interviewed on Latin America and Socialism

The Intelligencer: Do you expect 21st Century Socialism to continue without President Chavez’s leadership?
Olavo: Hugo Chávez never—I repeat never—was the leader of the continental left. The São Paulo Forum’s general assemblies make all the important decisions and completely run the show, and there has never been the slightest sign of any serious disagreement among the Forum members. Chávez was never more than a decoy. It was created and used by the São Paulo Forum, which in due course, will know how to create many others like him.
The Intelligencer: If so, who do you see as taking the mantle of leadership for 21st Century Socialism in the post-Chavez era?
Olavo: I think the disappearance of Chávez from the political scence is very beneficial to the São Paulo Forum, which now can continue its operations while keeping a low profile till it finds it suitable to create a new poster boy.
The Intelligencer: Do you believe Chavismo politics will continue in Venezuela without major changes?
Olavo: Any antichavista government that rises to power in Venezuela will be surrounded, isolated, and ruthlessly attacked by its neighbors until it becomes completely inoperable.

Life as a project?

2012-10-03T15:29:00.002-03:00

One of the most striking features of modern life is its daily evanescence. Not only are ourselves aged, but everything around us fades away quickly.
Nothing is built to last. "In the future everyone will be famous for 15 minutes," said Warhol, in an evocation of Wilde, with certitude. Not that Warhol was a genius, but simply that he knew which way the wind blew, and let himself go.

Everything around us is ephemeral. Matter is ephemeral. Goods are ephemeral. The sense of timelessness of the human race seems to have been swept out of existence. We do not seek the eternal, beautiful in itself, the sublime, but the "up-to-date", what is "trendy" and all terms rationally empty that fill our cultural shelves nowadays.

The officially accepted explanation for this state is that the man, realized in the XIX Century, that he was no longer a reflection of God´s image, but simply the product of an "evolution" (or factory upgrade) of matter, just like rats, chimpanzees and armadillos. From this point the man stops to look at eternity as his arrival port and started to fight against the clock during his short reign life.

Modernity focuses on these two aspects: The concept of "evolution", concluding that what is newer is better because it is more advanced in evolutionary terms. This was the cultural consequence of the transportation of the concept of evolution from biologic to the culture field, with no half-stops. The bases of high culture were defeated.
The technique becomes the base "culture" of modernity. Science is the new Prometheus that stole the knowledge from God to men so we can build our own happiness, without divine intercession. Men is no longer interested in old concepts such as "moral" or "justice". The newer the better. Endpoint.

Second phase: Younger generation takes control of the culture , by the mid '50s. In the United States appeared the prototype youth culture that will sweep the world. In the 60's it was radicalized into "do not trust anyone over thirty" motto of the day.

Third phase: modernism "dies". After all science can not, itself, ensure "peace and security". The century that opened by the sign of modernity closes with a balance of two world wars. But man does not gave up. Rather than go back and recognize the error, invents the "post-modernity", which is simply the negation of rationality and existence itself.

The result is that Life is simple life now. Ephemeral and volatile, without much hope, chaotic, Darwinian struggle of the fittest, now transfigured by "most modern". Won by whoever has the I-Phone 5.

But I do not agree. The human being is not a giant Drosophila fly. Living just to feel what can be felt, "enjoining" what each season can gives us, should not be our only goal.

Our real goal is Eternity. Cause we are eternal, in the sense that anything or anyone that has existed can not become "nothing." Even though we are no longer here to witness it, our history is.

It means that Life has to have a project. And it has. Our greatest mission is to learn about it.

Anatolyi Golitsyn revisited

2012-09-05T18:59:00.001-03:00

My friend "perilous time" has updated the predictions of KGB defector Anatolyi Golitsyn in a new post:

"In his 1984 book New Lies for Old, KGB defector Anatoliy Golitsyn, who lived incognito for decades and who would be 86 years old if he is still alive, predicted that the Soviet communists would:

feign their demise, which took place in 1991 with the stage-managed collapse of the Soviet Union and the fake, temporary banning of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union;
eliminate any rational for NATO’s existence, which took place in 1991 with the so-called end of the Cold War and the integration of economically backward “ex”-communist states into the Western military alliance;
install a communist puppet in the White House, which took place in 1992, with the election of alleged KGB asset Bill Clinton, and again in 2008, with the election of avowed socialist Barack Hussein Obama, who has received the endorsement of the Communist Party USA; and
rebuild the red world order, which began in 1991 with the creation of the Commonwealth of “Independent” States (CIS) and, afterwards, numerous other international organizations across the post-Soviet space"

Finally, the truth about Soviet spy Alger Hiss

2012-04-10T10:24:00.001-03:00

WND, reports a new book on one of the most influential communist spies inside the US more inner government circle during FDR years, Alger Hiss.

Finally, the truth about Soviet spy Alger Hiss: Former U.S. State Department official Alger Hiss was the darling of the Franklin Roosevelt Democrats and the architect of the United Nations.

That he was also a Soviet spy remains one of the most well-guarded secrets of the 20th century.

Clinton has 'serious concerns' on Russia... JPost - International

2011-12-05T13:50:00.000-02:00

Clinton has 'serious concerns' on Russia... JPost - International: Clinton has 'serious concerns' on Russia vote

Wow, if it was Jimmy Carter, he would "approve" the elections in Russia, as he did for Hugo Chávez.

But I don´t trust Hillary. If she said she has "serious concerns", what it means?

"US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Monday she had "serious concerns" about the conduct of Russia's parliamentary elections and Russians deserved a full investigation of all reported irregularities"

The campaign for Sunday's election was marked by "limited political competition and a lack of fairness," observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Council of Europe's parliamentary assembly said.

The vote count "was characterized by frequent procedural violations and instances of apparent manipulation, including several serious indications of ballot box stuffing," the monitors said in their preliminary report.

Maybe it is time for the mantra "The communism is dead" along with "Russia is a democracy" to put aside.. Enough was allowed to Russia to oavertake its previous dominance over its former "satallite" republics...

The west turned aside to many things Russia did over the last years:

1) The bombings in Moscow - 1999. It was an FSB "job", according to deceased agent Alexaner Litvinenko.
2) Russia supported Saddan Hussein - It helped him to hide wmd in Syria
3) The invasion of Georgia and Ukraine, in 2008
4) The assassination of Polish PM in 2010, in a fabricated plane "accident"

I have been wondered if the so-called "rationalist" libertarian apply to the same group. For me it seems yes. This article shred some light on the issue.

Obama and Osama: "Weekend at Bernie´s" spoof?

2011-05-02T11:37:00.004-03:00

A photoshopped dead.

An old movie, a comedy called "Weekend at Bernie´s" shown a dead man (by natural causes) that some buddies pretend to be alive just to enjoy the weekend in his fabulous summer house.
This seemed to be what happened to Osama, as stated at infowars site.
Osama´s body was maintained frozen for the last 8 years.... And now is "killed" to distract the American people.

World Net Daily changes positon regarding Obama's Certificate

2011-05-02T06:12:00.000-03:00

I published a post in April, 28th asserting that Obama´s certificate was a fraud.
In the same day, World Net Daily deny such leads in an article (Graphics pros challenge Obama birth certificate http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=292673#ixzz1LBTxahIo) that reproduces one opinion asserting that the layers and other signs found on the document : "None of this is an indication of forgery,"... "They just wanted to save a few bucks for the bandwidth, it seems."
We kept what we said, despise of it. Now, three days after, NWD joins the bandwagon saying that "Online 'birth certificate' document 'was changed' Analysis raises possibility content of text was altered" (Online 'birth certificate' document 'was changed').

Thanks specially to Daniel Wachholz, that help me a lot on the issue.

Birth "Fakeficate": Obama's Easter Egg !!

2011-04-28T18:52:00.006-03:00

Maybe It was a delayed Easter Egg he hatched yesterday....
In fact It was not only one document, but many ones.

One for the background, another for the lettering and minor ones for the signatures... Look.

Follow the instructions below and create your own "fakeficate".

For real: I've downloaded the document from US government site and opened it using a free program called libreoffice (openoffice). All the layers of the fabricated document are there.
It was inspired by website infowars, and I decided to check myself.

Here's the detailed instructions (google translated) from my portuguese blog.

Update!
I´ve received an extensive analysis from a friend that is graphic art & design professional.

"I just download the file and opened it in Adobe Illustrator. I took the test and post here my findings. It's a little long, but I think it's worth.

In Photoshop, the blog mentions, it is impossible to see the layers. But the AI, as edit PDFs, recognizes a layer, but divided into dozens of sublayers (sublayers), each with one or a handful of objects. That is already more than enough to prove that there is a single image, scanned.

But suppose, in the generation of PDF, the image was "sliced", which is possible. That would be an argument of believers. Well, if it was sliced and scanned image output, the various "cuts" (slices) of the image would not have any depth. Would be several objects at the same level, side by side. In this PDF, there are images of images: there is no depth and the "slicing". Point.

Reflecting further, and ignoring the evidence above (the depth and the various sublayers are not evidence, but evidence), the PDF could be done in two ways, if it were real:
The official certificate was photocopied on green form, and then scanned. In this case, the copier to convey letterhead printing the certificate, using the toner. Open the PDF approach and well around the texts. Noticed something different? There glare around all objects in black. Because there is no toner and white copier with rubber, this gloss is a complete impossibility.
The official certificate was scanned and superimposed on the background, it would be a letterhead also scanned electronically. In this case, both the background and the certificate would be imported in an editor, and after that, exported as a PDF. But there is a problem there. The certificate, if scanned, would have the background blank. When imported and placed on top of your letterhead, would see its bottom. But that fund does not appear. Then there are two possibilities:
Set the opacity of the certificate as "multiply". Multiplied with the colors, everything is white, some, including brightness. Impossible then. This leads to the second possibility.
Edit the image, removing the white background (or delete it, or vectored it or save as a PNG or GIF with transparent background). That would explain the possibility of putting the shine ("outglow). Only, there we proved the image editing.
Here, point by point, why the document is false, "

The Real Aim of Communists and Their Heirs

2011-04-20T08:06:00.002-03:00

This blog exposes the communist perspective on the alliance US-URSS to defeat the Nazi in the 2nd World War. There´s no reason to believe that nowadays, their heirs pursue the same goal, as Golitsyn has informed almost 30 years ago.

Here´s the quote from Yugoslavia´s dictator Tito.

The Sole Aim of Alliances with the West | The Moral Liberal: "Our collaboration with capitalism during the war which has recently ended, by no means signifies that we shall prolong our alliance with in the future. On the contrary, the capitalistic forces constitute our natural enemy despite the fact that they helped us to defeat their most dangerous representative. It may happen that we shall again decide to make use of their aid, but always with the sole aim of accelerating their final ruin. (2)"
