Problem with populism.



Donald Trump made the thing that nobody predicted. He refused to accept the result of the presidential elections. And then his supporters marched to congress house. His example inspires many other leaders, and the last case was in Brazil, where supporters of a lost candidate demand a coup d'état. That thing is an example of a very dangerous path that can cost lives. When the candidate who seems more popular in eyes of some people loses, the next thing is violence. 

The reason for that violence is that the presidential candidate promised work or something like that to people. And when that person. Would not elect, people feel that they left without a job. Many people who are following populists believe in strong leadership. And they believe that the president can give jobs to them. Many times a populist candidate can say that a clear majority is behind that person. 

That will boost the message, and because nobody says that are those things even in the presidential jurisdiction, that means there are only things that support that candidate. And then if the election will not happen, that thing is easy to explain as that competitor stole those votes. And people who have no education believe those things.  

But then we must realize that populism is one of the things. That brings votes to people, who just want a large number of votes and a good job. Populism is the term that means leaders promising simple and kinetic things for people. 

In some practical examples term "populism" means that the candidate promises to work for people or simply asks what people want. And if those people are lost, the next step is hate and anger. People feel that they lost their jobs. The idea of populism is that the candidate just wants to please the great majority. In that kind of politics, the benefit of the majority is the thing, that leaders must follow. 

The message of populists is simple. Minorities are born to serve the majority. There is no problem with democracy. But when we think about ethical aspects. Those kinds of things are very embarrassing. In the world of populists, the only interesting person is the elector. 

Populists are many times very charismatic and colorful people. So they are giving good news to the media. And those people "dare to talk straight". So they are making very interesting headings. And that increases people's interest in their politics. 

That means only people who are part of the majority or who have some kind of permission have the right to get an education that gives the right to a higher degree education. And that reserves the higher ranks in offices only to people who please those populists. The thing is that populists are very good to benefit things like social media. They are talking about things that are visible everywhere. 

Street gangs and other things are things that populists mention as an illness of society. Street gangs are symptoms of social inequality. Some reason for those gans is jealousy. The gang members are jealous of other people. And that makes them sometimes violent. Street gangs are things that are symptoms. And they are good tools in the hands of populists. 

But they are promising medicine that is very easy. Increase the number of border guards, and other kinds of things are also offering workplaces. Kicking foreigners out of the country seems a good and simple solution. And the new border guards are offering new jobs in the minds of some supporters who are supporting populists.

About attacks against cyber guerillas

About attacks against cyber guerillas

Cyber attacks are the new threat to national security, and they are effective tools for delivering propaganda and embarrassing the opponent. Normal propaganda tactics, what the propaganda operators use is to get as many Facebook, and why not other social media accounts in use and they would get as many connections as possible to those attacks. And when the time has come, they would start to deliver propaganda by using those accounts, and even if those accounts will be closed, the cleaning that material from service takes a very long time.

When we are thinking the back-operations against cyber, and troll accounts, attacking to those cyber guerillas must be done by using the same force, what they use. That means that the new version of the combat would be epic troll battle between those nations. The cyber guerillas are the new kind of operators in the network. Those persons are attacking other people by using disinformation like fake news to get sympathy, and also they would use manipulated information for causing the situation, that some other nation attacks to their enemies.

Disinformation and manipulated information are the greatest threat in the modern world. The thing is that the faked information might not be separated from reality. In the worst situation, the recon images of some area are manipulated by using Photoshop, and there might involve the mobile missile sites or images of Auschwitz, which are introduced as the images from some modern conflict, what mission is to cause the attack against that target.

But when we are thinking about the attacks against cyber bandits, the use of missiles and aircraft might feel a simple and effective solution.  When the aircraft are destroying the headquarters of the cyber attackers, that kind of operations might not have any effect about the group itself. The persons who are operating those cyberattacks might use remote-controlled computers, which are controlled over the Internet by using a VPN connection, which allows the operators to sit even to another side of the Atlantic ocean.

And in the worst case, those computers are taken there without the people, who are living in those houses what means that the airstrikes can kill innocent civilians. Civilian casualties are things, what terrorists would want because that gives sympathy for them, and when we are thinking about houses in somewhere restless areas, those servers and computers can be used also delivering "deep web" material. That means that normal criminals can buy the needed material for terrorists, and give them the needed micro support. And for the return service, those people can deliver prohibited and illegal data to the Internet.

This is the reason, why police would use SWAT-team in that kind of actions. Then those law enforcements can take fingerprints and other evidence from those devices, what will be destroyed in an airstrike by the bombs, and there is very few evidence, what can be collected from the destroyed site.

The most qualified persons with the best ICT-skills of that organizations would ever sit on those places. Airstrike will kill those people, who might only copypaste things or follow the orders, what somebody will give them by using some social media application.

The rule in those cyber operations is similar to other military actions are they legal or illegal. The field team ever knows important things. But they can notice if the person who is another side of social media application speaks or writes something with strange ways, or uses some strange words, what would uncover the identity of those supporters or control team. If a person is tired that inmate can give own email address accidentally in the discussions in the social media.

One wrong name in the discussions might uncover the identity of the speaker. So the idea of the strikes must be that there is something, what can be used to track the people, who have bought those computers, and the thing is that the supporters of those groups would be tracked by using the information, like serial numbers of microchips.

The criminal investigation and details

The criminal investigation and details

When we are thinking about the criminal investigation in the case of violence, there is a couple of questions or details, what the investigator must realize. There is always the possibility that the attacker is acting as the hired actor, and that thing has sometimes forgotten the people, who are working with criminal activities.

One of the detail, what should make the investigator think that the hired person is behind the violence. That detail is that the actor or suspect has not ever seen in that area before. Or the clothes, what are used in those activities are not seen anywhere before that action.

The last thing would tell the investigator, that the person, who is working as an actor in this kind of cases would be dressed specially for that kind of attack. And if the suspect would not be angry, would the case be made by the hired operator.

Normally persons whose motive is hate would yell and roar to their victims. And in that kind of cases, where the target is the victim of hate crime, the actor and victim know together. Normally that kind of violence is happening in the groups of alcohol- or narcotic addicts.

If the person would not have those problems, and somebody would attack without the reason, that could mean that there is something behind that case, that other people would not even want to know. If we are thinking about psychopath those persons are often quite impulsive, and they are not looking for their victim a very long time.

And those people are serial criminals, which means that there must be another similar cases. Here we must realize, that some Mafia-killers are trying to play maniacs when they are caught by police for avoiding the prison. In mental hospital would the time move faster and maybe someday some psychiatrists would recommend that those criminals are allowed to go out from the "institute".

Sexual violence and war.

Sexual violence and war.

https://kimmoswritings.blogspot.com/

Those things are taboo

Rapes and sexual violence in the conflict situations are taboo, what are the war crimes. The problems in that kind of situations are what kind of cases those raping were? Did they really be rapes, and when we are thinking about that kind of violation, we must understand that using of rapes as the interrogation method is really something, what might be called as "interesting".

The problem of raping is actually a very old thing, and at the first, it came to public knowledge during the Vietnam War, when the American troops claimed often visit in the bordellos, where working girls, who were claimed to forced to work in those places. The persons who forced them to that work worked for the South Vietnamese or US military forces.

Forcing to prostitution is a very common thing in the conflict

Also, Viet Cong used prostitutes to get information from the US military men, and some of them got children with those Americans. There were claims that some persons of US military gave those Vietnamese girls E-pills before the act, and sometimes those persons were forced to go in the bordellos because other soldiers would be claimed that they were homosexuals.

But during the Second World War German military forces had bordellos for their men, and also in the Concentration camps female prisoners forced to work in bordellos, what were reserved for SS-personnel. Also raping was common stuff in the Bosnian war, where all parts of conflicts are made those crimes. And then the Canadian UN-personnel cough from the raping and sexual harassment, what were targeted to the nursery staff. After that, the UN personnel have been at least suspected the raping in many operations.

When people are talking about rapes in places like Auschwitz, we might think that the persons, who made those things might be "little bit different" than normal people, because having sexual contact with the person, who would be killed after a couple of minutes needs the nature, what is similar with Ted Bundy and the rapist murderers. Normal people cannot do those things in that situation.

Only sick persons can do some things. 

The problem in this kind of cases is that there are many people, who would use the gun as an authority. And then the war zone would make them believe that everything is justified. That kind of people are very small minorities in the world, but of course, there could be a couple of sexual killers in every military force.

But then we must ask again the things, that is it possible that somebody tells the lies in some cases. Could it possible that if the military forces are in the same area, they have visited in the rooms of prostitutes. And if that kind of girl comes as pregnant, that person might tell the reason for that the rape. And prostitution is some kind of rape if the girl is forced to do that job. So those girls might be forced to offer the "sexual services" for the foreign soldiers.

The thing in that kind of situation is that those women must have right to get the abort, but that kind of right would cause the problem, that the people, who would want to hide the sexual violence would force those girls to make abortion or take the E-pills before the act.  So the thing is that there are always people, who are making sexual violence to women, and those persons might force those girls to take abortion for hiding their crimes. But in this case, those women must have the right to take that abortion if they want.

The movies and their influence on society

The movies and their influence on society

Sometimes people have claimed, that movies would not have an influence on society, but in fact, there is one problem of those things. If somebody wants to make pure propaganda, would that person use the film as the document, and that makes the film a very dangerous tool. In this text, I will write about movies, where is not used the flash photographs or subliminal messages, what would make the propaganda more effective and influential than the normal movie, what can use as the tool of propaganda.

The thing is that this kind of propaganda is hard to resist if it would introduce as the documentary and authentic information. In history is a very good example, when the media or radio broadcast have almost caused the nuclear war. The radio drama "The war of the worlds" what was piloted by the Orson Welles caused almost the national emergency when people thought that the USA was under the attack, and called to the police and Pentagon because they were listening to that broadcast.

The influence of the movies, what is pure fiction to the collective societies has not actually any researches, but the thing is that if in the movies some part of people is always demonized, and they are introducing as the "bad people", will that cause hate. The movies have great influence on the way of think of individuals if the people are watching violent movies at a very young age and if the adults will say, that the violence, what those people see in movies is tolerated.

And as the Joseph Goebbels, the minister of propaganda of the Nazi-Germany said, when the lie is simultaneously repeating people are starting to believe it. This is the problem with the movies. Even if we know that they are pure fiction, they have an influence on the way of think of the people. If we think about the influence of the films to the individual people, we must realize that those things like violent movies teach the way of think to the people, who are watching those movies.

The problem with movies is that they can use to demonize the other people, and if the adults allow looking at the violence, and teach the children that the violence, what those youngsters see is right, would that cause very bad situations and in the worst case the result would be some kind of mass shooting. And if the movies are using in the wrong purpose, like teaching that violence is the solution for young people would the results be horrifying. So that's why the movie makers must feel their responsibility when they are making their product for entertainment purposes.
