Færytale Beginning VII: Counter Disinfolklore ~ Controlling War Magic
In February 2014 hundreds-of-thousands of Donetsk male residents participated in the Euro-Maidan protests urging the then pro-Russia president of Ukraine to be impeached.
Today, ten-years later, that city and the part of its region the Russians occupy is completely denuded of males between the ages of twenty-five and fifty-five. I call this process that has been operating in Ukraine since February 2014 “Stealth Genocide.”
Russia’s creeping genocide in Ukraine was stealthy because not even I, a highly educated international lawyer, categorised what I witnessed as such. I who experienced a three-year-long fever dream on that bridge never, in my wildest nightmares, suspected that what I was seeing each day in Donetsk’s sister region of Luhansk was a preparation, through brainwashing Disinfolklore, for the genocide of Ukrainians by Ukrainians, at the behest of the Russians.
When I look back at what I was witnessing now with the benefit of hindsight I find myself in the position of someone in 1943 watching trains on the way to Auschwitz pass by their garden. We think of course we would recognise genocide when we saw it.
Yet, genocides are made up of heaps of dual-use moments. If we do not witness the gory deaths, we will not know that when we see the trains full of people on their way to what we are told is a work camp is one of the key moments in the genocide. Pattern Recognition is a skill good counter Disinfolklorists need to develop.
If you are scanning for the early warning indicators of an exact replica for the genocide Germany implemented against millions of Ukrainians (including one million Ukrainian Jewish community members) between 1941 and 1945 today, then you may well, as I did, miscategorise the totality of the elements of which Russia’s current genocide is made up.
Each holocaust and each genocide has different traits. While you are inside a genocide, unless you are scanning for the Mana of genocide, you may miss it. Alas too many today, around the world, have yet to realise that there is genocide in Ukraine. As one meme circulating since March 2022 (when it became clear Russia was executing genocide against Ukrainians) puts it:
“If you ever wondered what you would have done to prevent the holocaust, well, you’re doing it now.”
Those Donetsk residents - Ukrainians - who were to perish in the pointless “meat assaults” were radicalised by Disinfolklore. They became part of a system designed by Russia in Ukraine from 2014 onwards that would force them after 24th February 2022 into participating in endless “meat assaults.”
Their destiny was to be killed by their fellow Ukrainians lawfully defending their country’s territorial integrity and freedom from Russian occupation. And Disinfolklore was the method of propelling them towards a destiny few could have imagined was possible when in 2012 Donetsk hosted the European football championships.
This is what is at stake in Counter Disinfolklore: Controlling War Magic. If Russia can achieve that dastardly feat in Donetsk using Disinfolklore, Russia and other bad actors could, similarly, convince, using Disinfolklore, any population group of humans anywhere to participate in genocide against members of their own community. The United States embassy in Vienna quoted the following words spoken by Gubarev in a film released in October 2022:
“…if you [Ukrainians] don’t want to be convinced [that Russia should rule Ukraine], we’ll kill you. We’ll kill as many as we have to: one million, five million, or exterminate all of you.”1
These are sentiments which reflect official Russian state policy as enunciated by senior Russian officials, including the Nordic Russian troll king Putin, and as executed by their minions who murdered hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians after 24th February 2022.
As an aside and to show how folklore is never far from any of our subject matter it’s worth adding that before 2014 Gubarev ran a company that supplied Santa Claus costumes in the Donetsk region.
Now, that this year’s European football championship has begun, imagine yourself in the position of the Donetsk residents queuing up for tickets in 2012. Imagine saying to one of them then Ruschia will invade and you will be tricked / brainwashed into fighting against your fellow citizens.
Unless Ukraine prevails and we get a handle on Disinfolklore, your children’s future may be the 2012 Donetsk children’s past…
