Blogosphere is the last bastion of freedom. Blogs are the best political tool. Instead of paying voters to show up for the vote or stuffing boxes, today's savvy campaign managers are helping their candidates influence blogs. They are doing online what they used to do offline.

The freakish government of Greece is so stupid that it hoodwinked all media that I conspired to trigger a war between Greece and Turkey and blame Mariliza Xenogiannakopoulou, Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs of Greece, for it! Accusing dissident bloggers of treason, Graecokleptocrats have manufactured a blood libel in cyberspace, which in turn incites hatred and violence. The government of Greece gave my head on plate to Erdogan. Brutal Graecokleptocrats have destroyed my life. My life is stolen. Now I demand my life back!

Greece violates Article 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which states that every citizen has the right to freedom of expression. This right includes freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. The freedom and pluralism of the media shall be respected. http://venitism.blogspot.com

Fireflies, influential people, are pivotal in the dynamics behind blogs in recruiting and spreading calls for action that contribute to riots, revolutions, protests, and elections. The most influential group to these events consists of a small group of fireflies close to the center of a network. This group, the spreaders, plays a critical role in triggering chains of messages reaching huge numbers of people. http://venitism.blogspot.com

However, early fireflies in the protest and those starting the recruitment process, have no characteristic position within the network, they are the leaders of the movement and first movers in their local networks. They spark the initial online activity that recruits the spreaders, but they are scattered all over the network. When calls to action come from many different sources within a short time window, their effects are amplified, resulting in recruitment bursts. The vast majority of users are recruited this way responding to the collective behavior of others.

Greece, the most corrupt country in Occident, has become a kangaroo valley, violating basic human rights and Article 2 of the Lisbon Treaty, but nobody gives a damn. I cannot understand why the European Commission tolerates political persecution and freakish Kangaroo Justice within the borders of the European Union and cannot refer the Greek government to the Court of Justice of the European Union. I cannot understand why the European Commission cannot protect Greeks from appalling violations of Article 2 of the Lisbon Treaty by the Greek government. If the European Union cannot protect Greeks from the repressive Greek government, who will? http://venitism.blogspot.com

Blogs have played an important role both in the recent wave of mobilizations in developing countries, such as the Arab Spring, and in protests across Occident, such as the Global Tax Revolt. Mass mobilizations depend not on the influence of central users, who are nonetheless crucial for their growth, but on the actions of many users in local networks that will ultimately reach the influential core.

The freakish government of Greece uses charge stacking to persecute dissident bloggers. Charge stacking is the ability to charge a large number of overlapping crimes for a single course of conduct. Combining crimes enables prosecutors to get convictions in cases where there is no misconduct at all. By stacking enough charges, including treason, prosecutors jack up the threat value of a trial against a dissident blogger, even if the government's case is very weak. Charge stacking is terror. Disgusting governments cannot terrorize their people.

Most people are influenced by what those around them do. If they are exposed to many messages calling for action within a short time frame, they are more likely to respond to this apparent urgency and join in. This creates recruitment bursts that can translate into a global cascade with truly dramatic effects, massive demonstrations, wave of occupations, tax revolts, and political turnabouts.

Persecuting dissident bloggers, the outlaw government of Greece violates Article 2 of the Lisbon Treaty, which states the European Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and respect for human rights. These values are common to the Member States in a society in which pluralism, nondiscrimination, tolerance, and justice prevail.

Greece also violates Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which states that everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.

Karl-Theodor Guttenberg is the Czar of Cyberincitement. He was appointed by Neelie Kroes with specific instructions to cooperate with Hillary Clinton to use blogs for Occidental propaganda, especially to incite people to overthrow their antioccidental governments. Mission impossible! http://venitism.blogspot.com

The Theory of Critical Mass proves that you only need a few fireflies, influential people, to reach a critical mass, tipping point, for a chain reaction of people. It might take a long time to reach the tipping point, but after that point things happen in a very short time, like an atomic bomb. Therefore Guttenberg's mission is to find fireflies of propaganda for a critical mass of people to propagate Occidental ideas to the rest of the world. Using internet as a propaganda tool turns global politics upside down, but it saves trillions of dollars in unnecessary wars.

This mindless promotion of Occidental culture and Occidental kleptocracy alienates the governments targeted and will motivate them to harm Occident in some manner. Thousands of young and naive people die at the hands of the regimes they are instigated to overthrow by the democracy-pushing kleptocrats, all of whom are safe and secure in Washington and Brussels, inspiring pseudoheroic vanity. A libertarian non-interventionist policy will allow foreigners to work out their political destiny in their own way and at their own pace, prevent unnecessary additions to Occident's growing list of enemies, prevent the clash of cultures, and save countless young lives.

Russia and Greece violate Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which states that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

The Internet has become a significant power factor in Russia, with a hundred million people from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok surfing the net. When Putin once again used fraud in last parliamentary elections, the opposition struck back online, posting videos that showed the manipulation taking place. State-run television hid the existence of these videos, but one clip, showing a representative of Election Commission No. 2501 filling out ballot after ballot himself, was viewed three million times on Youtube.

Alexei Navalny leveled online accusations of corruption against kleptocrats, calling Putin's United Russia a party of crooks and thieves. Navalny struck a nerve with voters fed up with corruption and cronyism. Putin's party has been out for revenge ever since. Access to Navalny's website was blocked!

Medvedev likes to be photographed with an iPad in hand, and he presents himself in his speeches as the Internet's greatest protector. Putin also lauds the Internet as free and enormously democratic. But that is nothing more than political rhetoric. A new Internet law has made it possible for authorities to block websites without a court order.

In few other countries are social networks as influential as in Russia. Russian users spend an average of around a dozen hours a month on such sites, twice as much as the global average. Putin fears a scenario such as unfolded during the Arab Spring, when blogs became the demonstrators' most important channels of communication. Either blogosphere will destroy Putin's regime or the regime will destroy blogosphere.

Vladimir Ashurkov published a list of the top donors to a fund set up by Navalny, after persuading some tycoons, whom he dubbed the brave ones, to break a taboo against overt support of Putin's adversaries. Ashurkov's strategy is to gather a critical mass of supporters who would openly enlist in an anticorruption revolt.

Navalny gained fame on Russia's blogosphere investigating minority shares in Russian state companies to expose corruption, a major source of middle-class disgruntlement and the Achilles heel of Putin's government. Discontent is growing throughout the entire population, and of course more so among the elite, who are used to travelling to the West and understand that Russia deserves a much higher standard of living and freedom than it has now.

Putin dismisses the street protesters, branding them chattering monkeys and pointing to their lack of a clear leader. The Kremlin has embarked on only limited political reforms in response to recent demonstrations, which attract 100,000 people on the streets of Moscow. But the protest movement has deprived Putin of his aura of invincibility, and Ashurkov hopes going public with Navalny's sponsors will inspire others to join his cause, despite the risk that their businesses could come under state pressure. Their message is that these people are not afraid, and you shouldn't be afraid either. http://venitism.blogspot.com
