Basic Glitch
Researcher in the U.S. trying to stay informed and help others stay informed. I write a blog that focuses on public information, public health, and policy: https://pimento-mori.ghost.io/
I only recently began using ghost, and am slowly figuring things out. Apologies for any formatting issues.

51·5 days agoIt’s also funny you’re doing some impressive gymnastics to defend a government against genocide.
Nobody is defending the Moonies, especially not this current affairs publication owned by a Japanese media corporation. Here’s plenty of examples of them calling out the Unification Church: https://thediplomat.com/tag/unification-church/
Anybody can be nominated to be an ambassador for peace, it’s also associated with the UN. https://www.upf.org/core-program/ambassadors-for-peace
Launched in 2001, Ambassadors for Peace is the largest and most diverse network of peace leaders. As of 2020, there are more than 100,000 Ambassadors for Peace from 160 countries who come from all walks of life representing many races, religions, nationalities, and cultures
Literally she has no other ties to the Moonies/unification church, and how about the human right lawyer she directly quotes.
Or the bioethicist and part of the coalition to End Transplant Abuses in China (ETAC)? All just cold war propaganda?
Results 445 included studies reported on outcomes of 85 477 transplants. 412 (92.5%) failed to report whether or not organs were sourced from executed prisoners; and 439 (99%) failed to report that organ sources gave consent for transplantation. In contrast, 324 (73%) reported approval from an IRB. Of the papers claiming that no prisoners’ organs were involved in the transplants, 19 of them involved 2688 transplants that took place prior to 2010, when there was no volunteer donor programme in China.
Anyway, keep spreading that there is no genocide propaganda.

Two months after the Trump administration all but shut down its foreign news services in Asia, China is gaining significant ground in the information war, building toward a regional propaganda monopoly, including in areas where U.S.-backed outlets once reported on Beijing’s harsh treatment of ethnic minorities.
The U.S. decision to shut down much of RFA’s shortwave broadcasting in Asia is one of several cases where the Trump administration — which views China as America’s biggest rival — has yielded the adversary a strategic advantage.

The article is about the list of Putin’s inner circle since the beginning of the war in Ukraine (2 in just the last week).
Starovoit is among a number of state officials and prominent businessmen who have died in mysterious circumstances since the beginning of the war in Ukraine. Putin’s foes and critics have often met with violent deaths.
I think most people know the number of individuals who have fallen out of windows would be a much bigger list. 6 very prominent individuals with direct links to Putin have been killed, just over the past week 2 more have been killed and several have been arrested. It seems like Putin is taking over any resources he needs and cleaning house in an attempt to defeat Ukraine.
Also, that was the suggested auto title, and how it appears on the homepage of the news website.
Fingers crossed. Not sure how many children and innocent civilians you have to intentionally murder for absolutely no reason in 2025 to get charged with a war crime, but it must be a pretty high bar bc…
