January 01, 2025 Silicon Bites #71 - Georgia Pre-crime Detention Marks Slide into Kremlin-inspired Authoritarian Rule
Edition No71 | 01-01-2025 - As the slide toward dictatorship in
Georgia accelerates, this episode will review the mechanics of law that
mark an increasingly repressive and desperate regime. As we’ve examined
in previous episodes, the Georgia Dream party has now ripped off the
mask and shed any last vestige of ambiguity they are a Kremlin proxy
party that is intent on deconstructing Georgia’s fragile democracy and
subverting institutions that have been evolving since independence to
bring rule of law and civic liberties to society.

Here is a summary of the laws brough in, posted on X by the excellent
Anna Gvarishvili, who has been a recent guest on this channel.
The following restrictions have bene rushed into law, and will take
effect on Dec. 30:
1. Drivers joining protests with processions: If police determine such
actions obstruct traffic, drivers will be fined 1,000 Lari and have
driving license suspended for a year.
2. Unauthorized protest stencils/signs/posters: Fines for damaging the
city’s appearance have been increased from 50 Lari to up to 1,000 Lari.
3. Blocking roads during protests: can lead to a fine on each person of
5,000 Lari (a 10-fold increase in the fine for this offence). Those
deemed to be organizers, can face fines of 15,000 Lari. This rule also
applies to violations under Georgia’s “Law on Assemblies and
Demonstrations,” including blocking building entrances. Instead of a
fine, administrative detention of up to 15 days can also be imposed.
4. Presence of pyrotechnics at protests: Regardless of whether they are
used, individuals will be fined 5,000 Lari. If this is deemed an
organized act, the organizer may face a fine of 15,000 Lari.
Administrative detention of up to 15 days may also be applied instead of
a fine.
5. Possession of laser or bright light-emitting devices: 2,000 Lari
fine.
6. Covering one’s face with masks or other means: This will result in a
2,000 Lari fine.
7. Minors at protests: If a minor is deemed to have violated Article 173
(disobedience to lawful police demands), their parents will be fined
for improper upbringing, with fines ranging from 100 to 300 Lari.
This is the one that triggered the title of this episode, and it has
sinister connotations of the pre-crime detection unit in the Sci-Fi
book, Minority Report.
8. Preventive detention: Police can now detain individuals preventively,
assuming they may commit an offense based on prior violations.
9. Detention for court appearance: Police can detain individuals solely
to ensure their appearance in court, even if they do not refuse to
attend voluntarily. This provision allows police to detain someone even
if no case has yet been filed in court.
10. Expanded grounds for personal and property searches: Personal
searches, inspections of items, and confiscation of belongings and
documents are now permitted under these same grounds.

December 28, 2024 578. Valeriia Voshchevska - Starving Putin's War Economy of Income with Strategic Communications Activism
In this episode of Fog of War, co-hosts Jonathan Fink and Yaroslava
Bukhta sit down with Valeriia Voshchevska, a Ukrainian human rights
activist and digital strategist working with UNITED24.Media and several
other impactful projects. Valeriia, formerly the Global Head of Digital
Engagement at Amnesty International, brings her expertise in
communications and activism to the conversation.
Valeriia shares her work on the intersection of communications,
activism, and environmental movements. She talks about her recent
project with the Ukraine Solidarity Project, which highlighted how
Russian warfare is being funded through a shadow fleet of oil tankers
passing near the EU. Valeriia also discusses the digital campaign that
successfully pushed Unilever to sell its business in Russia.
In this episode, we explore:
🔹 Why communications strategists need to look beyond just the audience
and focus on the bigger picture.
🔹 The interconnectedness of the war in Ukraine, global environmental
concerns, and activism.
🔹 Ukraine’s external communication strategy and the importance of
crafting a message that resonates with a global audience.
Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that connects the dots
between activism, war, and strategic communication.

December 27, 2024 Silicon Bites #70 - 4 Oil Tankers in 4 Days - Predictions of Environmental Disaster Proving Correct.
Edition No70 | 27-12-2024 - It’s a tragedy that politicians can’t seem
to act on warnings alone, and the public can’t be moved to outrage,
passion or action by an impending disaster or crime. Last week we had a
case in point where it’s the images of thick, viscous oil washing up on
the Black Sea coast.

----------
Stricken oil tankers show the risks of Russia's ageing 'shadow fleet',
which it uses to bypass sanctions. Although the vessel that split apart
was covered by Russian insurer VSK, it’s doubtful whether the costs of
the cleanup operations will be covered. The full scale of the various
incidents, as well as their long-term impact on the environment are so
far unknown.
One crew member was killed after the Volgoneft 212 split in half, with
12 rescued, while authorities said all 14 crew aboard the Volgoneft 239,
which ran aground 80 metres from the shore near the port of Taman, were
also rescued. Russian authorities sought to limit the damage from oil
spilled into the Kerch Strait by two ageing tankers that were damaged
during a heavy weekend storm – though part of the campaign was
informational, seeking to deny the seriousness, and not only focused on
the physical clean-up.
The ships are on average more than 50-year-old, and were carrying some
9,200 metric tons (62,000 barrels) of oil products in total. Volgoneft
212 was constructed in 1969 and Volgoneft 239 in 1973. The spill is
likely to become one of the largest environmental disasters to affect
the region in recent years. The Kerch Strait, which separates mainland
Russia from the Moscow-annexed Crimea region, is a key route for exports
of its grain and fuel products.

December 26, 2024 Silicon Bites #69 - Muscovy Brings Gifts of Terror and Destruction to Ukraine on Christmas Day 2024.
Edition No69 | 26-12-2024 - What is Christmas like, when your
neighbour is a terrorist state, run without challenge or hindrance by a
delusional imperialist and pervert, hooked on aggression and suffering?
Russia launched a massive Christmas day attack on Ukraine’s energy
infrastructure, and civilian residential targets in numerous cities,
leaving more than half a million people without heating, water and
electricity. Temperatures across Ukraine are around freezing point.

----------
Zelenskyy, President of Ukrainian spoke with direct moral clarity when
he condemned the attack as ‘inhuman’. This was the 13th large-scale
assault in 2024, on the energy grid of Ukraine, in what Zelenskyy said
was a deliberate series of strikes. “This was not a coincidence. What
could be more inhuman?” He wrote on X. But it’s also entirely
predictable. Putin always lashes out after press conferences, or visits
to his court by foreign dignitaries, and of course, special dates such
as Christmas hold a special fascination for his perverse mind. Attacks
at Christmas and New Year as well as on significant anniversaries are
entirely predictable, as is Russia’s raging desire to instil fear in its
enemies, and those it seeks to control and plunder.
About 50 of the 70 missiles fired were intercepted, as well as a
‘significant’ number of more than 100 attack drones launched by Russia,
on this, the celebration of Christ’s birth. Oleh Syniehubov, governor of
Ukraine’s eastern Kharkiv region, explained that the attack had left
more than 500,000 people without heating, water and electricity at
Christmas. Russia is not just a terrorist state, but also, it’s claims
to be Christian one is barely plausible, given its actions of the last
three years, and the genocidal character of its regime, which is
enthusiastically supported and sanctified by the Moscow Patriarch, and
former KGB agent.
President Joe Biden said in a statement “The Ukrainian people deserve to
live in peace and safety, and the United States and the international
community must continue to stand with Ukraine until it triumphs over
Russia’s aggression.” Biden also reaffirmed his instruction to the
Department of Defence “to continue its surge of weapons deliveries to
Ukraine”.

December 24, 2024 580. Gabrielius Landsbergis - Western Powers are Unprepared for a Russian Defeat or for a Russian Victory
Ukrainians know Russia better than anyone. Ukrainians know Russia's
strengths and weaknesses. Ukrainians know what deters Russia and what
doesn't. Ukrainians therefore know best how to secure peace. Today I’m
speaking to a rare breed of politician, one that understands the scale
of threat to Europe Russia represents and is not afraid of expressing
these truths to power in an impactful way.
----------
Gabrielius Landsbergis is a Lithuanian politician and diplomat who
served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania from December
2020 until November 2024. He is also a former Member of the European
Parliament (2014–2016), where he served on the Committee on
International Trade and the Subcommittee on Security and Defence. As
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Landsbergis was a vocal advocate for
European integration, NATO solidarity, and democratic values. His tenure
was characterized by Lithuania's firm support for Ukraine during the
ongoing Russian invasion, as well as efforts to counter Russian
influence in the region.

Trucks under Christmas Tree
Since 2022 an extraordinary group of people have been fighting the
information war for Ukraine in the global arena.
Car for Ukraine has now joined with a group of these special people and
their communities to bring Christmas to the frontline in the toughest
areas where the fight is happening right now.

truck to save Ukrainian lives.
With this campaign, we will raise funds for 1 truck to help brave
warriors from the 237th battalion, 129th brigade who leverage technology
and manage to hold russian advance at the very edge of the frontline.
Who will receive the vehicle? 237 battalion 129 brigade aerial
reconnaissance unit.

Donate and get: Pins. Everyone who contributes with €100 (~$110) or more
will get a limited collection pin - THE INNOVATOR. This pin serves as a
sign of Ukrainians' ingenuity in this fight.
Custom branding: For €2,500 we will place your custom sticker on one
side of a truck. It could be your logo, name, or maybe your country's
flag.
"Your truck" at the frontline: The average cost of an armored pickup we
deploy to the frontline is €10,000. If you contribute with that amount
all the custom branding options will be yours. Plus you'll receive a
personalized reporting about the truck, where it ends up as well as some
surprise gifts from us.
