16:11 Wouldn't it be more correct to assume that the Russians have already all realized that they have been lied to about almost everything, and have already chosen one of these options a long time ago:
- protest and frontal rebellion: they have been neutralized (charged and put in prison, impoverished by administrative and socio-economic exclusion, murdered, sent to die in war by forced mobilization, put on the run abroad...).
- silence: they claim to be "apolitical", they know very well but they wait for someone else to decide for them, they refuse to take the responsibility they deserve.
- self-hypnosis and alcohol: they suppress the fear and discomfort caused by inconsistencies by constantly forgetting what is wrong (religious trance, personality cult, patriotic rituals, repetition of key sentences or words dictated from above, acrobatic rationalization, nationalistic symbolism exacerbated by plastic works such as "Z" or music, or even fanatical careerism, ritual sacrifice of men by sending them to war, etc); this is especially noticeable in the anger caused by legitimate questions perceived as "provocations".
All of this is very human, and very understandable (yet not always acceptable due to consequences) in their situation.
I also thought that many Russians did not know, but I changed my mind: they all know very well what is happening but refuse to admit it or refuse to fight it for fear of the consequences, and have done so for a long time.
Therefore, it would be stupid and futile to expect the Russians to get out of this unhealthy situation simply by realizing that they have been lied to.
But perhaps we can still hope for a renewed awareness of their own power as a people. Obviously, the vast majority of Russian citizens do not believe in this collective power and remain in avoidance. As for the others, they are largely controlled because their permanent anger is so strong that it is easily exploited in order to redirect the attacks towards the enemies of the government rather than against their own enemies including their current government.
Continuing to address the Russians as if they did not know may increase their anger but does not fundamentally change the exploitation of that anger.
I think it would be much more beneficial to reassure them of their ability to collectively produce political content and enforce it. They would need labor unions, popular self-education workshops, practical workshops to resist tongue-in-cheek, and in the worst case they would need physical defenses against the police: bulletproof vests, tear gas, tasers, flashlights, warning systems to avoid abusive individual arrests without the possibility of collective reaction, training in individual self-defense...
Some of them would also need alcohol detox and an psychological support program against mental depression.
Finally, I believe that there should be a promise of (at least partial) amnesty for the corrupt who would accept to let go their privileges instead of more mockery and threats of revenge or punitive justice, without which they will cling to the defense of the criminal enterprise Putin&Co at all costs, even if it means sacrificing their own family, just to save their ass.
In short, the more I learn about the abused Russians we are talking about, the more I think they are not so much lacking in information (even if it's true) as they are lacking incentive and individual self-worth.

5:00 I think that the only thing we can do to help Russian react to their government killing them, is to send them a huge lot of anti-Putin and personal defence weapons. By now, they are too afraid of Putin's snipers and Putin's Gestapo-like henchmen, and it's very understandable. They easily talk between Russians, but they don't dare to shout and protest, because they know that the leaders of revolutions become targets. But that may change if they can actually defend themselves.
It's also very possible they are just waiting for the next elections' results to take action. They may accept the deadly lottery for now, relying on their personal luck, but on the condition that this policy is limited in time. If unlimited in time, they may no longer accept it.
The Russian friends I had don't answer anymore. They don't tell whether they are technically cut from this part of the world, whether they are dead, in prison, or they just don't like what I say, are too afraid to be seen as foreign agents if they talk to me (but I haven't seen any will from their part to establish encrypted and very secure com channels with me while it was time for that), or whether are just pussies. Some I was about to meet in France are in bad mental condition (in hospital), and some I can still meet simply don't know more than me, moved out of Russia times ago, and would like to ignore the events if they could.
The plastic curtain has become very opaque.

6:23 This statement is misleading
- Publication through the internet does NOT guarantee the presence of metadata.
- For a picture file to include metadata , you only need to save it with metadata. If you don't want metadata, you can simply remove metadata from the file. This has nothing to do with the action of publishing it on the internet or anywhere else.
- Most camera automatically include metadata with every new picture. Some devices allow users to chose what data to include or not, at saving or at publishing.
- Some publishing platform require metadata, others automatically remove it, either at import on the server, or in the published version. Many publishing platforms let the users chose what data to include or not in each published picture.
- Even without metadata, decent OSInt analysts can locate where exactly a picture was taken, and tell when it was taken approximately, only by looking at the picture, especially if it was taken outside during the day and it includes notable land features such as buildings and vegetation.
- Available metadata included in image files can be read without any paid software, simply using command lines on a Unix or Linux OS if you know how, or using an open source soft such as GIMP for comfort.
To pretend to be military personnel participating in a "special military operation" today without knowing this is a shame.
