The very high technical potential of the AN/ALQ-249(V)1 NGJ-MB and AN/ALQ-249(V)3 NGJ-HB electronic warfare pods installed on EA-18G Growler aircraft is beyond dispute.

The emitting modules, based on multi-element AESA arrays operating in the S/X bands with gallium-nitride microwave transistors that generate high-energy, narrow jamming beams, are powered by HiRAT ram-air turbine generators rated at 130 kW—far more powerful than the non-directional “Khibiny-M” ("Хибины-М") EW pods (which consume only 3.6 kW).

These systems are capable of seriously suppressing the transmit/receive channels of the 9S36 fire-control radars of Buk-M2E self-propelled launchers, and even the multi-channel 9S32M missile-guidance radars of S-300VM “Antey-2500” surface-to-air missile batteries, reducing the stable tracking range of low-observable F-35Bs to less than 50–40 km.

A similar situation applies to the outdated Н001ВЭ airborne radars based on Cassegrain antenna arrays fitted to Su-30MK2V fighters, which are not only incapable of detecting F-35Bs at ranges beyond 35 km, but were also “blinded” by those same NGJ-HB electronic warfare systems. In the absence, within the Venezuelan Air Force, of AWACS aircraft such as the A-50U or the more advanced Chinese KJ-3000, as well as fighters like the Su-57E or J-35A, the fate of the mixed surface-to-air missile brigade of Venezuela’s air defense forces was sealed.

But the key question remains: why did the freely “roaming” Igla-S MANPADS teams, of which, according to Maduro, the Venezuelan Armed Forces possessed more than 5,000 units, did not engage in significant numbers against low-flying CH-54E Super Stallion military transport helicopters, nor against AH-64D Apache Longbow and AH-1Z Viper attack helicopters?

Given the recorded activity of U.S. Army aviation at low and medium altitudes, dozens of aircraft should have been shot down. And besides the Igla-S MANPADS, mobile machine-gun teams, ZU-23-2 crews equipped with thermal sights, as well as crews of the 10 Tor-M1 air-defense systems could also have been employed. Yet not a single launch was recorded, which looks extremely suspicious and strongly suggests a total or partial bribery of the Venezuelan Armed Forces command.

⚡️🇻🇪 It should not be disregarded that the Venezuelan army may have revealed its contingency plans for a potential second U.S. attack or a possible coup.

In tonight’s attack, the Venezuelan army appeared far more organized than on Saturday. This time, they carried out an organized defense of Caracas. Columns of motorcycles, trucks, and tanks rushed to secure Miraflores and central Caracas. Soldiers took up positions at key locations, and barricades were set up. These plans were most likely revised following the humiliating abduction of President Maduro.

Tonight however, most of this contingency plan was revealed when it was put into practice during the drone incident. A great deal of intelligence may have been exposed.

🚨🇻🇪 According to information circulating in WhatsApp groups, the incident in Miraflores was a case of mistaken identity. Apparently, a commercial drone, it's still unknown whether it was civilian or belonged to the security forces—flew nearby, triggering a flurry of gunfire.

The ancient practice of speaking simply and thinking carefully

"When Philip wrote to them, "If I invade Laconia, I will drive you all out of house and home," they only wrote back, "If." And when king Demetrius was indignant and cried out, "The Lacedæmonians have only sent me one ambassador," the ambassador was not frightened but said, "Yes, one to one man." Certainly among the ancients men of few words were admired. So the Amphictyones did not write extracts from the Iliad or Odyssey, or the Pæans of Pindar, in the temple of Pythian Apollo at Delphi, but "Know thyself," "Not too much of anything," and "Be a surety, trouble is near;" so much did they admire compactness and simplicity of speech, combining brevity with shrewdness of mind. (Plutarch)

👑🏬🇮🇷🇮🇷 — Protests today swept across the Tehran Bazaar as calls for bigger and larger marches spread across Iranian social media

➡️ In a stunning act of defiance, shopkeepers at Tehran’s legendary Grand Bazaar closed their stores today and joined the nationwide anti-regime strike, chanting “freedom” in the middle of one of the country’s oldest and most politically symbolic marketplaces.

📝 The Grand Bazaar has long been a pressure valve in Iranian politics, so when it speaks (or shuts down), history tends to follow.

➡️ The strike comes as unrest surges into its second week, with deadly crackdowns across the country, a collapsing currency, and no signs of public fear returning anytime soon.

Jacques_Ellul-Propaganda.pdf
42.4 MB
Jacques Ellul argues that propaganda is not merely a political tool but a structural feature of modern technological society, inseparable from the systems that sustain it. Rather than relying on outright lies, modern propaganda works through selective truths, half truths, and manipulation of context. He distinguishes between agitation propaganda, which incites action or rebellion, and integration propaganda, which conditions individuals to conform to social norms and technological systems.

Ellul contends that modern education prepares people for propaganda by supplying fragmented, secondhand information, training them to hold opinions without direct understanding. Intellectuals are especially vulnerable because they consume the most information, feel pressure to opine, and mistake information volume for independent thought. In an atomized society, propaganda fulfills psychological needs for belonging and purpose, replacing lost communal bonds.

He warns that propaganda creates false needs and satisfactions, producing emotional and ideological dependency. No ideology can employ propaganda harmlessly; once introduced, it becomes self sustaining and irreversible. Ellul concludes that propaganda is more dangerous than visible threats because it reshapes perception itself, becoming the environment in which modern humans live rather than a force they merely encounter.
