US CRANKS UP THE INFORMATION WARFARE AGAINST PUTIN
US cranks up the information warfare against Putin
(CNN)Far from buying into claims the Ukraine showdown is easing. the United States is cranking up its relentless informational warfare campaign against Russia. keeping the world on high alert for a possible invasion of Ukraine. The Biden administration seeking to maintain pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin and to keep its allies united is categorically rejecting what it sees as Moscow's misinformation and is warning the threat is only becoming more urgent. A senior official said late Wednesday that Russia had massed another 7.000 troops on the Ukrainian border in recent days. despite the Kremlin's claims that some forces had returned to base in remarks seen as an opening for diplomacy. 'Every indication we have now is they mean only to publicly offer to talk. and make claims about de escalation. while privately mobilizing for war.' the official said. reiterating that Russia could fake an incident as a pretext to attack using what President Joe Biden said Tuesday was around 150.000 troops. The new US claims represented the latest gambit in a highly unusual public relations campaign using declassified intelligence meant to remove the element of surprise from Putin and to deprive Moscow of the usual advantage it secures with its mastery of misinformation tactics. Inside Washington. there are few who doubt government claims Putin is ready to invade at any time. But the intensity of US warnings over a period of weeks may soon raise the question of how long Biden can maintain the state of alert. and whether the continued lack of an invasion despite ever more alarming warnings could open gaps between NATO allies and between the US and Ukrainian governments. Such stresses would play directly into Putin's long term strategic goals. Both the US and Russia. the world's two greatest nuclear powers. say they are ready to negotiate. But they remain far apart on Putin's demands to rip up existing security arrangements in Eastern Europe with the departure of NATO troops from former Warsaw Pact nations. The US' game is not without risk. since it might push Putin over the edge especially if. as some US officials suspect. he's increasingly prone to a bunker mentality and getting little outside advice and perspective from officials willing to challenge his views. At this point it's impossible to judge whether the US is genuinely flushing out preparations for an invasion or whether it is taking Putin's bait by exposing troop movements he is ordering in the knowledge that they'll be highlighted by Washington. and therefore increase the sense of insecurity in Europe and anxiety over what he might do next. The US will not send troops to Ukraine to directly fight Russians. But Biden has rushed forces

Special counsel Durham alleges Clinton campaign lawyer used data to raise suspicions about Trump
(CNN)Special counsel John Durham accused a lawyer for the Democrats of sharing with the CIA in 2017 internet data purported to show Russian made phones being used in the vicinity of the White House complex. as part of a broader effort to raise the intelligence community's suspicions of Donald Trump's ties to Russia shortly after he took office. The accusation which Durham couched in vague. technical language in a court filing late Friday has been seized upon by Trump and his supporters. who claim the former President was subjected to a smear campaign. Durham says in the filing that Michael Sussmann. the Democratic lawyer. spoke about internet data related to Trump in a meeting with a federal agency. which sources say was the CIA. more than five years ago. Sussmann claimed the information 'demonstrated that Trump and/or his associates were using supposedly rare. Russian made wireless phones in the vicinity of the White House and other locations.' according to the filing. Durham's office said it found nothing to support the allegation. The special counsel also noted that the data showed a Russian phone provider connection involving the Executive Office of the President 'during the Obama administration and years before Trump took office.' The data was compiled by a tech firm that had special access to the purportedly suspicious internet data through an 'arrangement' with...

terrifying-attacks-on-asian-women
Terrifying attacks on Asian women continue. Here's what advocates say needs to change.
Bew Jirajariyawetch was waiting for a subway train in New York City when a man grabbed her from behind. assaulted her and took her purse. She was hospitalized and has physically recovered. But three months later. Jirajariyawetch. 23. said she continues to be retraumatized by reports of attackson other women of Asian descent in the city. 'It's still terrifying going out.' said Jirajariyawetch. who is Thai. Last month. Michelle Alyssa Go. 40. was on a subway platform when she was pushed to her death. And last weekend. Christina Yuna Lee. 35. was followed into her apartment and stabbed to death. 'They don't do anything wrong at all. but things tragically still happen over and over again.' Jirajariyawetch said. 'At least I'm alive right now. The others didn't have a chance.' The ongoing violence against women of Asian descent in the U.S. continues to outrage Americans and strike fear among Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. While some public figures have said the suspects shouldn't have been out on the streets in the first place due to prior criminal histories. others say the answer isn't so simple. Elected officials. advocates and New York City residents who spoke to USA TODAY said the attacks stem from a confluence of deeply rooted societal issues in the U.S. — patterns of gender and race based violence. poverty. homelessness. substance abuse and mental illness. 'The reality is. we need to address systemic issues in order to solve this very desperate. dire issue that many of us are feeling in a very real way.' said Sung Yeon Choimorrow. executive director of the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum. Violence against Asian American and Pacific Islander communities has surged across the U.S. amid the coronavirus pandemic. with women reporting incidents at twice the rate as men. according to Stop AAPI Hate. In December. the New York City Police Department reported incidents targeting Asians rose by 361% over the prior year. New York City Council Member Julie Won said a pattern has emerged in the recent attacks: Most of the victims are women or seniors. and many of the suspects are men struggling with homelessness. substance abuse and mental health issues. Choimorrow agreed the incidents are 'strikingly similar.' Advocates say bringing an end to the attacks requires an understanding of the racial and gender based aspects of the crimes. even if the official charges don't reflect those motivations. Many attacks on members of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities are not investigated as hate crimes. 'There needs to be an acknowledgement. one. of how Asian American women are uniquely targeted because of the stereotypes there are about

Family and friends mourn Amir Locke at Minneapolis funeral after he was killed by police executing a no knock warrant
(CNN)Members of the Minneapolis community gathered Thursday to honor the life of Amir Locke. a 22 year old Black man whose killing at the hands of police during the execution of a no knock warrant has reignited debate around the controversial practice. Locke's mother. Karen Wells. reiterated her family's request to pass a law to do away with no knock warrants in her eulogy at her son's funeral. 'At the end of the day you are going to pass the law of the no knock warrants. ban it starting here in the Twin Cities where my son was born and raised.' Wells said. Ben Crump. an attorney for the Locke family. also called out Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for not banning no knock warrants. 'If you would have followed your ban on no knock warrants like you said. let's be clear. Amir Locke would still be here.' Crump said. CNN reported in November that Jacob and then police chief Medaria Arradondo announced they were instituting a policy that required officers to announce their presence and purpose before entering a building. except in special circumstances. At the end of the service. Amir's father. Andre Locke. said he was broken and called on Minneapolis police to 'do what's right' and to stop 'hiding behind the blue.' Police shot and killed Locke February 2 in a Minneapolis apartment while they executed a warrant in which he wasn't named. and that didn't require police to knock and give any occupant a chance to open the door. A brief body camera video of Locke's shooting shows an officer quietly sliding a key into the apartment's door. After the door opens. a group of officers barge in. yelling commands. Locke. who appeared to be sleeping. gets up holding a gun his family said he legally owned. Police then opened fire. Locke's parents have asked President Joe Biden to advocate for a national ban on such warrants in the name of their son. This week. a division of Minneapolis' Civil Rights Department announced it is leading a 'special review' of the police department's no knock warrant policy. The Office of Police Conduct Review will 'focus on identifying and recommending specific changes and improvements to departmental policy and procedures.' the city said in a news release. 'This important review will complement our engagement with external experts to provide needed clarity around the impacts of these policies for both community and officers.' Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said. Meanwhile. the officer who shot Locke. Mark Hanneman. has been placed on routine administrative leave pending an ongoing state investigation. During the raid that killed Locke. Minneapolis police were looking for suspects including Locke's teenage cousin and e

Christina Yuna Lee worked to fight against anti Asian hate. co worker says
The Korean American creative producer who was butchered in her Chinatown apartment by an alleged knife wielding stranger had worked to fight against anti Asian hate — and rallied others in her field to support the community. a distraught co worker said. Christina Yuna Lee. a 35 year old senior creative producer at NYC based online music platform Splice. started working at the company around the same time as a gunman killed eight people during a shooting rampage in the Atlanta area in March 2021. former co worker Kenneth Takanami said Monday on Twitter. “It was an emotional and gutting introduction.” Takanami recalled. “We met on a call with other Asians in our work community to support one another.” Following the call. Takanami said he connected with Lee and the pair discussed how they could “galvanize” the moment and “do some really important” work at the digital music platform. “We bonded over a shared mission for a more inclusive creator space. among many other things.” Takanami wrote. “She hoped to start conversations around diversity and opportunities for creators of all background at our company.” Intent on fighting against racism and cultural appropriation. Lee formed the Art Appropriation Council to address the “place of Asians” within the music industry. Takanami said. Lee and other Asian employees at Splice also “formed a channel” at the company for mutual support after the brazen and deadly rampage in the Atlanta area. where six of the victims were Asian women. Mass shooter Robert Aaron Long pleaded guilty to four counts of murder in July and was sentenced to four life sentences without the possibility of parole. Long blamed the slaughter spree on a drunken. suicidal shame set off when his roommate caught him watching porn. He had previously claimed he was a sex addict trying to thwart “temptation” during his killing spree. “The thought of folks we didn’t know being senselessly murdered struck us all deeply.” Takanami continued. “We had long conversations about how we could continue to be there for our Splice community.” But Lee never got the chance to continue her mission. She was found fatally stabbed in her bathtub early Sunday and police said a homeless man. Assamad Nash. 25. followed her from the street into her Chinatown apartment. Prosecutors said Lee had been stabbed more than 40 times and surveillance footage obtained by The Post shows Nash trailing Lee when she returned home at about 4:20 a.m. Sunday. The last communication Lee sent to her co workers on the Splice support channel was a happy Lunar New Year message to mark the Year of the Tiger on Feb. 1. “There is not much else to say.” Takanami sa

Las Cruces businesses end facemask enforcement as state mandate is lifted
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced Thursday afternoon that the statewide mandate was lifted. effective immediately. While not required. the state continues to encourage the use of facemasks to prevent contracting and spreading COVID 19. Allen Theatres wasted no time in removing mask signage at their New Mexico locations. “About time.” said owner Russell Allen. “I’m glad she did it.” Allen has long been a critic of the state’s handling of the pandemic. criticizing business closures especially. He said he has no concerns about the removal of the masking rule or possible future COVID 19 variants. Restaurants. such as The Pecan Grill and Brewery. also removed signage mandating mask wearing in the hours after the state's announcement Loretta Piña. general manager of the Mesilla Valley Mall. said mall businesses have followed the state’s requirements from the start and will continue to do so. Though mask wearing will not be enforced. she said customers’ choices to continue to wear them will be respected. “We are rule followers. We enforced it while it was in place. and now that she's lifted it. we are allowing people at their own discretion to (wear one or not).” Piña said. She mentioned that she will continue to follow the state’s lead on COVID 19 protocol. If the mask mandate is reimplemented. it will be enforced at the mall. Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino announced via a news release that 'masks are off. and the smiles are back' at the entertainment complex in southern Doña Ana County. The racino said the timing of the governor lifting the mandate works in their favor. 'We’re running races four days a week with our world famous Sunland Derby just around the corner. Plus. we are in the middle of two huge. exciting casino promotions. Winner Wonderland and Cupid Cash.' said Ahmad Mughni. executive director of property operations. The racino made it clear in its news that employees and visitors who are more comfortable wearing a mask should continue to do so. 'We want everyone who walks through our doors to feel comfortable and that masks are fine. just not required.” said Kyle Lim. general manager. When asked about the new masking standards. a Walmart spokesperson referred to a memo sent out company wide on Feb. 11. Fully vaccinated employees were given the option of not wearing masks. unless required by the state or local government. Now. it's not required in New Mexico. Employees who are not fully vaccinated are still required to wear a mask. Those who work in the pharmacy or health clinic continue to have to wear a mask despite their vaccination status. The company also announced the end to its daily health screenings requirement starting Feb.

Biden tells Ukraine's Zelensky that US would respond 'swiftly and decisively' to any further Russian aggression
(CNN)President Joe Biden told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a roughly hour long call Sunday that the US would respond 'swiftly and decisively' if Russia takes further steps toward invasion. according to a White House readout of the call. The call came amid US warnings that a Russian invasion of Ukraine could happen as soon as this week. 'President Biden made clear that the United States would respond swiftly and decisively. together with its Allies and partners. to any further Russian aggression against Ukraine. The two leaders agreed on the importance of continuing to pursue diplomacy and deterrence in response to Russia's military build up on Ukraine's borders.' according to the White House readout. A senior Ukrainian official said Zelensky renewed calls for Washington to provide greater military and financial support to Ukraine and asked for Biden to visit Ukraine as soon as possible. US officials said a trip by Biden to Ukraine is extremely unlikely. The official. who had been briefed on the conversation. told CNN that Zelensky used the call to suggest what the official described as 'concrete ideas to diminish the Russian threat to Ukraine' such as providing Ukraine greater military support. including more advanced weaponry. Zelensky also emphasized to Biden the need for a significant financial package for Ukraine. according to the official. The official told...
