Norsk politi er vanvittig aktivistiske. Se på hvordan politiet agerer her i saker om trafikklovbrudd og hvordan de agerer i saker om bruk av ulovlige rusmidler.

I trafikksaker sier de aktivt at de ikke vil håndheve loven fordi de ikke liker den.
Høring om samferdselsplanen i Trondheim. Politiet kommer med klassisk "vi liker ikke skiltene, vi kommer ikke til å håndheve her", og blir avkledd av en Ap-politiker. Politiet tydelig irritert. Stor underholdning.

Let me get this straight:

The EU will NOT gain its independence by giving up on its only super power, that is the exercise of regulatory autonomy on behalf of 27 independent nations, be it on climate, digital or defense.

This is self inflicted damage upon US demand.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce the main themes of Russian disinformation on TikTok. Each day, there are thousands of new videos promoting pro-Kremlin narratives and propaganda.

It’s worth noting that Russians can only access European TikTok via VPN.

“there’s no sidestepping a president deploying the military in an American city based on ludicrous falsehoods about a foreign invasion. Indeed, it’s hard to think of a clearer signpost on the road to dictatorship.”

I agree with Ian Garner as he counters the great Darth Putin. The one-liner about making us "believe in nothing" understates the calculated viciousness of Russian state propaganda. It is not primarily about neutering an opponent. It is about being on a spectrum between destruction and control.

This is categorically not the purpose of Russia’s propaganda. Russia’s propagandists want you to do plenty: undermine democracy, attack imagined enemies, and believe in fantasies.
The purpose of propaganda is not to make you believe something. It is to make you believe nothing. Then you will do nothing.

Generelt sett synes jeg det er en uting at politikere som er ønsket av partiledelsen sin på Stortinget "flyttes" dit det antas at de har størst sjanse for å bli nominert. Det var ikke det som var meningen når det norske demokratiet ble utformet.
