NEW: Several months ago I obtained a tranche of secret Russian military intelligence (GRU) files on psychological warfare. These documents are dated from within the decade and @4freerussia_org has translated them all. https://t.co/ajFhgFMgZv

 Two of the documents are lectures delivered by GRU faculty specialists at Russia's Military University (not to be confused with the Military-Diplomatic Academy).

One lecture is a kind of order of battle, explaining how psyops are organized, planned...
... and executed by the GRU, right down to the company levels of each branch of the Russian Armed Forces.

Another lecture explains how to study and attack targets in the West as well as the proper means of interrogating prisoners of war. https://t.co/s8ARSqFWor
We even have a set of exam questions put to the cadets at the Military University and a definition of terms used in the university's coursework -- fun for the whole family!
Finally, we've got an unpublished (well, unpublished until now) memoir by Col. Aleksandr Viktorovich Golyev, once an officer in the Special Propaganda Directorate of GLAVPUR, or the Main Political Department of the Soviet military.
Golyev spent the last years of the Cold War conducting active measures to suppress anti-Communist protest movements in East Germany, Poland and Lithuania.
He writes of how, for instance, he stood up fake loyalist newspaper (printed in Minsk) to counter Lithuanians' push for independence.
Golyev also recalls his manufacture of anti-Chechen propaganda films in the mid-90s (“Dogs of War” and “Werewolves"), which were exhibited to NATO countries by SVR officers stationed abroad, including the future defector Sergei Tretyakov.
Most revealing, however, is what Golyev explains happened to the Special Propaganda Directorate after the collapse of the USSR.
It was transferred, he says, as to the GRU --to the 2nd floor of "the Aquarium," as GRU HQ is known, to be exact, and rebranded Unit 54777. As @AndreiSoldatov and I explain in our introduction to Aquarium Leaks, Unit 54777 has waged a number of recent psychological operations.
One was a concerted information campaign in 2014 advocating Russia's takeover of Crimea -- *before* Putin invaded and annexed the Ukrainian peninsula.
The incorporation of the Special Propaganda Directorate into the GRU had another lasting impact in psywar.
Whereas the directorate had previously been used an influence or manipulation weapon of wartime, once it fell under the remit of a full-time intelligence service (recruiting and running spies, etc.) it became a weapon of peacetime, too.
One GRU lecturer candidly states the fact: there really is no philosophical distinction anymore between war and peace, only differences at the strategic and operational levels. Psychological operations are therefore *constantly* waged against the West. And then there is this:
In peacetime, we are told, any and all organs of the Russian state as well "civic and religious organizations" can be instrumentalized by the GRU for the prosecution of psywar.
You don't say! As the Washington Post reported a few years ago, Unit 54777 has created cut-out organizations ostensibly dedicated to fostering Moscow's so-called "compatriots policy." One of these is Institute of the Russian Diaspora. https://t.co/uucNLuFC28
The Institute of the Russian Diaspora manages the websites of other likeminded organizations such as the Foundation for Supporting and Protecting the Rights of Compatriots Living Abroad, which Putin singled out in 2018 for its “legal aid” work in 20 countries...
... including Syria, Yemen and Libya, as well as its “courses for young human rights advocates.” 😀

The YouTube algorithm that I helped build in 2011 still recommends the flat earth theory by the *hundreds of millions*. This investigation by @RawStory shows some of the real-life consequences of this badly designed AI.


This spring at SxSW, @SusanWojcicki promised "Wikipedia snippets" on debated videos. But they didn't put them on flat earth videos, and instead @YouTube is promoting merchandising such as "NASA lies - Never Trust a Snake". 2/

Simple and effective way 2 make Money


Idea 1:- Use pivot level like 14800 in case of nifty and sell 14800straddle monthly expiry (365+335) exit if nifty closes on daily basis below S1 or above R1

After closing below S1 if it closes above S1 next day or any day enter the same position again vice versa for R1

Idea2:- Use R1 and S1 corresponding strikes multiple
Incase of R1 15337 take 15300ce
N in case of S1 14221 use 14200pe
Sell both and hold till expiry or exit if nifty closes below S1 or above R1 around closing
If the same bounces above S1 and falls below R1 re-enfer same strikes

Use same criteria for nifty, usdinr and banknifty

(This is must)Use this margin rule for 1lot banknifty pair keep 4Lax margin
For nifty one lot keep 3Lax
For usdinr 100lots keep 4Lax

I bet you if you do this on consistent basis your ROI will be more than 70% on yearly basis.

Couldn't explain easier than this

Criticisms are most welcomed.

Remember: Just because an idea is old doesn't mean it's good.

Knowing whether old ideas are more likely to be good requires understanding whether conditions have changed in important ways.

Horse archery was an amazing method of warfare for over a thousand years...then people invented guns, and suddenly this great idea that had stood the test of time became obsolete.

Then again, when underlying conditions don't change much, tried-and-true approaches are probably better.

"Learning the lessons of history" usually just means assuming ergodicity and stationarity in an informal time-series model...
