I remember vaguely that the "Bush legs" program costed around 50Bil (I could be off on that, don't mind being double-checked). That same program later, at better times, was mocked amongst the Russians and used as an example of "humiliating pay-off".

The chicken legs program was either $5mil or $50mil; i.e. 1/1000 to 1/10,000 the number that you threw up. The tiny amount was the reason why the Russians felt gipped years later for trading away their superpower status. It's a little like: during the 2008 financial crisis, you could get a girl to put out in some European countries (e.g. Greece) for a lunch sandwich. Don't be surprised to see the girl feeling ripped off years later when she is in better circumstances. The purpose of egging on Putin to invade Ukraine (and possibly Romania and Poland later, if not all the way to the English Channel, accomplishing the plan laid out in the book "1984," which the globohomo use as a manual instead of warning) is to impoverish Europeans (and impoverishing Oceania/Five-Eye nations), so they will put out for the globalhomo for the price of a sandwich again.

The frequently heard charge that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine violates ostensibly sacred international “norms” holds no water. No such norms exist — at least none that a great power will recognize as inhibiting its own freedom of action. For proof, we need look no further than the recent behavior of the United States which has routinely demonstrated a willingness to write its own norms while employing violence on a scale far exceeding anything that Russia has done or is likely to do. ...

Russian actions in Ukraine deserve universal condemnation. But as crimes go, Putin’s aggression pales in comparison with the human toll exacted by Saddam Hussein’s US-supported war of choice against Iran. As for the calamitous results of the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the impact of Russia’s incursion into Ukraine rates as trivial by comparison.

America has no right to condemn the invasion in Ukraine until it condemns its own far more violent and completely unjustified invasion of Iraq.

I put that number out there because I remember seeing it in one of the reports. I may have mixed up the columns in the report, and it was a while ago (which I disclosed). I tried to find a source and couldn't. What's your source regarding your number?

"The information about the alleged bombing of Kiev and other major cities are just gross propaganda fabrications," Putin assured during a telephone conversion with the German chancellor.

Don't the Germans have decent satellite images which can tell this kind of thing? So you'd think they'd prove Putin right or wrong on this.

War correspondent Anne-Laure Bonnell, who is in Ukraine, shocked followers "I am not a party and I am not defending Putin, but the truth is that I am close to the citizens, what I am saying is that the Ukrainian army is bombing its own people in the region of Donbass.

That would make sense, because Donbass is a majority Russian area.

Sure, you can open a window to copy the video being played, but this often reduces quality quite a bit - but it should remove all metadata. Really, video is so goddamned incredible today, it hardly makes a difference, so yes, this would work - provided he has a program do this.

I don't use programs like this though, but I know they are around.

Interestingly - do you know how BluRay was FIRST cracked? Some smartass setup their player to advance one frame at a time, and did a screenshot of each frame, then they (somehow) pulled the audio from it, and took all the screen shots, spliced them together, and reproduced the film. The designers never thought of it.

In under 24 hours all the work into making the DRM for BluRay was for nothing.

DRM is kind of stupid in my opinion. We live in a day and age where you can video tape a 4K television playing a movie and get a very respectable reproduction. You can't prevent copies of any physical media, even with non-physical media it's probably impossible.

I can help you setup a server and allow you to do it yourself.

I can make a virtual machine, or explain how to set one up.

I use VirtualBox:

https://www.virtualbox.org/?source=patrick.net

You can install a linux distribution, like this one:

https://neon.kde.org/?source=patrick.net

which COMES with ffmpeg.

Virtual machines are only SLIGHTLY slower than the real physical machine today. Modern chips (even consumer grade ones) are built with virtualization as part of them. Have been since around 2010.

Or like HeadSet suggested, just do a screen capture during playback. That would eliminate ALL metadata.

That is, if you're being honest and actually have these videos. The whole point of recording government malfeasance is to expose it in order to stop it. I'll work with you and help you set this up. Fuck, I can even (and will) make a VM, but honestly, I'm technically competent enough to put in a backdoor to any VM I setup, and it's correct to be paranoid and not trust me. If you don't know your way around Linux, certainly you shouldn't trust me, because then you wouldn't be able to detect any bullshit somebody would pull.

Not that I would pull any bullshit, but anybody pulling bullshit would say that.

I have intimated I don't trust what you say. I'm just calling you out. I don't expect you to produce anything.

But if I'm wrong, I'll walk you through even Windows setup of ffmpeg. What OS are you using? I'll find screen capture programs for you, they record live video.

It's a freakish world we live in. I mean, honestly it is. This shit was all science fiction when I was a young engineer, we have gone FAR further than I thought possible in my lifetime. At RCA we had a 10 million dollar machine that could convert NTSC video in REAL TIME to mp2. Now, I can literally do that crap on a $50 smart phone, no shit. Consumers only see the end result, digital data transfer reduced bandwidth transmission to 2% of what it used to be. It's fucking amazing. A film that was stored on a VCR tape, fits on a $2 dongle I bought at a liquor store, with room to spare for 100 more of them, and I can copy it in under 30 seconds - not 2 hours.

Ever see the dumb film Johnny Mnemonic? The character was a courier for information and had his childhood erased to carry data in his brain. You know what his brain stored? 1.5 GB. I have more storage than that on my chip cache. A chip with that storage capacity is now the size of a grain of sand. Even the engineers didn't see this shit coming.

We all have our abilities.

If you're comfy around Linux, you can use ffmpeg to strip metadata for GPS, or really, it's an excellent idea to do what HeadSet suggested, and do a live screen capture to remove all metadata.

Again, what is the point of recording government fuckery, if you keep it to yourself? Fuck the government. When those assholes commit crimes, it's our DUTY to expose them. Go ahead and strip the metadata, and HeadSet has a very good idea of doing a life screen capture. You can upload it to my server, and I will post it to, mmm, bitchute through tor.

Back when lying scumbags had shame. I miss those days. I remember recordings during the MH17 incident when INCOMPETENT assholes produced an audio recording which was OBVIOUSLY fraudulent - they actually went from stereo recording to mono.

Kiev at present being bombed. No air raid sirens.

Beginning from the post Cold War ,John Hopkins Professor examine the problems between east and west and brings us to today’s stalemate “ not one inch “ Not One Inch: America, Russia, and the Making of Post-Cold War Stalemate https://www.amazon.com/dp/030025993X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_CJB842E8ZNKFV5PGEARN?source=patrick.net
It more or less comes down to two sets of pledges. The first was in early 1990, when the West was still trying to get the USSR to agree to German reunification. It was West German foreign minister, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, who gave a number of speeches assuring the Soviets that there will be no NATO troops on East Germany should reunification be allowed. AS he put it in one address, “An extension of NATO’s territory to the east, that is, nearer to the borders of the Soviet Union, will not happen.” The problem was that his boss, Chancellor Helmut Kohl, completely disagreed with this policy and believed that the West should lock in as many gains as it could before the political climate shifted.

By Feb 1990, James Baker was making similar pledges. It was Baker’s pledge that formed the basis for Russian complaints about broken promises to this day. As Baker told Gorbachev during a trip to Moscow, “Would you prefer to see a unified Germany outside of NATO, independent and with no U.S. forces, or would you prefer a unified Germany to be tied to NATO, with assurances that NATO’s jurisdiction would not shift one inch eastward from its present position?” As was the case with Genschler and Kohl, Baker’s boss, George H. W. Bush, didn’t actually agree with this policy. But that statement by Baker was reportedly treated by Soviet leaders as essentially a US pledge not to expand NATO as long as German reunification was allowed. As Sarotte write, “leaders in Moscow would point to this exchange as an agreement barring NATO from expanding beyond its eastern Cold War border. Baker and his aides and supporters, in contrast, would point to the hypothetical phrasing and lack of any written agreement afterward as a sign that the secretary had only been test-driving one potential option of many.”

The second major area of the Russian complaints are centered around the actual 1997 agreement signed by Boris Yeltsin that more or less gives Russia’s blessing on the expansion of NATO. The episode starts off with a night in Warsaw, when Polish President Lech Walesa managed to persuade Yeltsin to issue a joint statement that the prospect of Poland joining NATO was “not contrary to the interest of any state, also including Russia.” It’s the kind of story that’s the perfect example of how pliable Yeltsin truly was at this point in his presidency. Yeltsin faced immediate domestic backlash on the statement and tried to backtrack by referring back to the 1990 Agreement on German Reunification, arguing that the language in that agreement precluded the expansion of NATO eastward. Therefore, under this interpretation of the agreement, Yeltsin couldn’t endorse the idea of a NATO expansion because the West already agreed that could never happen.

Of course, as we’ll see, the Clinton administration had already explored the legal implications of that 1990 German reunification agreement and concluded that there were no such restrictions. The Germany government agreed with this assessment, although the German Foreign Ministry did acknowledge that Russian claims contained a “political and psychological substance we had to take seriously.” In the end, the US pursued the approach of just trying to bribe Russia with money. Yeltsin ended up signing an agreement that condoned NATO’s expansion later that year. Clinton reportedly couldn’t believe how one-sided the deal was in the end.

The overall picture that emerges is one where, technically speaking, the expansion of NATO may have been legal based on the agreements made. But from an ethical standpoint, these were agreements made in bad faith at a time when Russia was effectively forced to negotiate under a state of national duress:

Well, I'm not going to be silenced, you said you wanted me to "shut up" - I can't do that. That's very encompassing.

And I'm not going to stop talking about any topic. That demand is ridiculous. Point out when I'm incorrect, but provide reasoning and evidence I am wrong, so I can change my mind. I will, if I have to conclude I'm wrong, and I've had to do that MANY times. If you give me input that contradicts the gaps (and there are many) in my knowledge, of course I will change my viewpoint. I might do it kicking and screaming, but I will, in time. It's not always easy to have a radical shift in a viewpoint, but this one - I don't think it will be difficult.

I'm not going to give you free reign. You may be more knowledgeable about this subject than I am, I understand that, but that doesn't mean I think you're being truthful about it. I know how propaganda works, the best of it, only omits information and gives you a one sided view. It seems entirely reasonable because there is no misinformation involved so there are no contradictions. For example some: small village in Israel is attacked - how horrible, until you find out Israel was attacking a tent settlement for 3 months with weaponry, dumping sewage on their farmland, and cutting down olive trees and the people doing it all originated from that villiage.

Why are you placing conditions on exposing the atrocities of the Russian government? That's a reasonable question to ask, I think.

I've crippled piece of shit companies by being a whistleblower, it's a lot harder to do that with a criminal syndicate like a government though. People don't seem to care about duplicity or criminality in the government, and people in the government sure as fuck don't. People fear the government. They're pussies.

You want to expose the Russian government? Go ahead, I'll help you. But why are you demanding my silence and subservience? NO government is good. I don't care if the Russian government is evil, I'm more worried my government is evil. I have to deal with that evil.

richwicks says

Pushing the dangerous vax is a human atrocity that our government and specifically Biden did. It’s immoral to require people to take a product that may kill them or intensely injure them in a life altering way. And if the government KNOWS that these adverse reactions are quite common and actively HIDES that data to “reduce vaccine hesitancy,” that’s a moral crime on a whole new level of psychopathy. Our government did all of that. As far as I’m concerned, an invasion of a semi-hostile neighbor state (Putin) is several orders of magnitude less evil than vaxxing your own citizens to death.

It takes time to construct CGI, reality can be recorded instantly. The longer there is a wait to expose it, the less credible it is. That is the world we live in. And it's not just CGI either, the Donbass region has been (supposedly) shelled for years - what are we seeing with a still picture of a burned out car or a gutted building?

The WHOLE reason to have everybody armed with a camera, is exposure. When I was a kid, a video camera was a fake toy for pretend. Today, the same exact toy is superior to a video camera in 2000, and costs just as much as that toy and it actually works. It's really an odd time we live in.

Fuck the establishment, expose them, and when enough people recognize what fucking garbage we've naively allowed to attain power - remove them.

I was the most ardent absolute atheist you'd ever meet at one point. I HATED religion and would happily demolish a religious person at one point and I was good at it. But there's a real war between good and evil, a lot of people can see this now. What side are you on?

Even if I am certain to lose, I know what side I'm on, and I don't think we'll lose.

The Great Awakening was something that Zbigniew Brzezinski is SAID to have worried about. Basically, if the common people found out what a bunch of fucking garbage our criminal establishment was, they'd all be dead. He worried about that. We've gone through a very tumultuous time in the last 3 decades of technological development, the Internet is FAR more powerful than the Gutenburg press was, and we can record everything now. I'm hoping we're starting to see the start of the death throws of a clearly corrupt and evil establishment.

And if you don't want to help, get out of the way. YOU shut up or not, it's doesn't matter. We've had to deal with disinformation and propagandists for decades - we know they won't go away, but we can design around them. It's like mold doesn't go away, or disease. You can wish it didn't exist, but criminality always will, we just keep making better systems to contain the rot.
