This week I delve into fringe groups becoming politically involved (as I expected they would do so). I look into website hacking for good, and also feature some pieces from guest authors on the Russian/Ukraine war and Putin’s motivations.
Finally we have a great piece from regular contributor Bronwyn Rideout about the Mary Kay MLM.
Enjoy!

I've previously revealed that I keep an eye on Voices for Freedom by subscribing to their email newsletter, where they send out communications to their flock. I don't pretend that they're not aware they have “moles” who subscribe - and so it's likely that their newsletter only contains the most sanitised versions of their thoughts. I don't have the personal free time or inclination to subscribe to their Telegram channels to see what's really being discussed behind the scenes.

As a professional software developer, I'm aware of various ways in which websites can be hacked - and it's a constant battle keeping up with the latest knowledge and techniques to ensure safety.

Has Putin come under the Rasputin-like spell of some mystic philosopher(s)?

The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine has been a catastrophe for Ukraine. Casualty figures at time of writing are in the tens of thousands, nearly four million people have fled to other countries, and over six million more have been internally displaced. It's an outrageous act of military aggression that demands a sharp response. The Russian nuclear arsenal makes a direct military confrontation between NATO allies and Russia unwise, but the countries of the NATO alliance are right to impose the harshest sanctions against Russia, and to generously supply Ukraine with arms and munitions.
