A PUBLIC WAR
Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine has catalyzed a worldwide northern tier grassroots war against Putin’s evil. Corporations, private individuals, banks, governments are fighting Putin. At some point, it will become clear to world leaders that the Rule of Law is toothless if it can’t withstand a murderous demon with nukes. If the Rule of Law loses to Putin, he and his fellow autocrats like Bashir al-Assad can rule the world, proving that dictatorship beats democracy. This is not good for business, nor for the planet, nor for humanity.
This war is unique. It’s happening at a time when people everywhere on earth can participate with our cell phones and keyboards. We video events with our phone cameras. We transmit our war footage around the world in a second. https://t.me/dvish_alive/9541 We teach one another how to jam their drones. We post videos of volunteers from South Carolina, from Ireland, from UK, going to Ukraine to fight. We hack and jam at our keyboards. We join hackers’ groups. Mainstream media are posting links to hackers’ groups we can join and provide secure computers to participate in mass denial of service attacks on Russian government websites. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/04/technology/ukraine-russia-hackers.html
In Telegram channels, participants cheer their collaboration with the government in going after targets such as Sberbank, the Russian state-owned bank.
