This is falcon as he calls himself on the internet. He doesnt want to reveal his true identity because he has formidable enemies in the digital world. In his free time he fights russian trolls peddling disinformation and fake news on the net. The online activist is part of a Wider Community trying to counter Russian Online propaganda they call themselves the elves.

The Baltic States have been targeted by just information campaigns arguably orchestrated by the kremlin. Falcon shows us an example of this on a news site in lithuanian which claims that german nato members desecrated a Jewish Cemetery in lithuania is made up of german time this is the Jewish Cemetery in the coldness its totally clear is the procreation. Rather how they works it means. 30 years ago lithuania gained independence and people there know that the fact that the former soviet republic has since joined the e. U. And nato is not welcomed by moscow lithuanians now live in constant fear of their powerful neighbor. Order a good bit of what you just need to open a history book to understand russias true nature then and now.

Or not that. Its nice to have our own russian language t. V.

Very useful to have a possibility to talk of will for russian citizens the falcon to thinks it would be helpful to team up with like minded russians to counterpropaganda he speaks russian well because he served in the former soviet army now together with more than a 1000 other elves from around europe he spends his evenings fighting just information spread by internet trolls that we do think just like we dont fight we fighting for the liberal democracy.

Now here in germany something remarkable has been happening in recent years the countrys Jewish Community has been growing and growing rapidly but at the same time until the semitism is also on the rise leading to almost daily attacks on the community and its members and it felt like a watershed moment when in october and the o. Nazi gunmen attacked a synagogue in the eastern city of heller a massacre was only narrowly averted but 2 people were killed near the synagogue frontin looks at is among those who are now thinking twice about their lives here in germany. Communication designer valentino has been living in berlin for 8 years. Hes from poland and he is jewish. One reason he chose to live here is the Cultural Diversity and the fact that he can easily find kosher food. Its a very Diverse Community its really nice here this is become a jewish area again. But the atrocities of the past are not forgotten the stumbling blocks are in mind or the 10s of thousands of berlin jews were murdered during the holocaust. But despite the blocks antisemitism is on the rise again. When it was here when people talk about something its because its really terrible they dont talk so much about small incidents but anti semitism is becoming routine again. Today he is returning to holland. He was there on the 9th of october when the main synagogue was attacked on the jewish day of atonement young put. It down to khalid to pray with others at the Central Synagogue they were already inside when a neo nazi launched his attack he was unable to get into the building but was still able to murder 2 people and injure several others. I feel an emptiness now we really have to realize that 2 people died here one of them exactly here. And a part of us tied to a part of our souls. Is hoping to be able to come to terms with what happened by going back to the synagogue. At midday on october 9th the congregation had already started praying when they heard shots and explosions outside. They could follow what was happening on screens linked to the security cameras. The attacker had intended to kill as many jews as possible but he failed to get past the synagogues new Security System he ended up killing a 40 year old female passer by and later a 20 year old man inside the synagogue the service continued. Behind. We continued in a very emotional way we were so effective. We cry and we screamed. We sang this song for about 10 minutes. And that.

Back in berlin. His wife and some friends me in a cafe theyve all been the victim of antisemitism. Naomi henkel google says she cant stand it anymore. She now spends several months of year in israel she says many have resigned themselves to increased antisemitic attacks even the media war and not going on with. That kind of what you know counterargument is offered. Thats less and instead there are more and more right wingers interviewed during prime time. I believe. Is also changing his habits he rarely wears a jewish skullcaps the keypad now. And who could you like try not to provoke people its a problem is there are situations in which i dont need to highlight the fact that im jewish you should all stand in the valentino hopes that one day he will be able to live in berlin his home of choice without having to fear antisemitic attacks. And its certainly worth noting that its been announced that germanys federal authorities will be significantly stepping up efforts to guarantee the safety of people visiting synagogues and other jewish facilities now on a very different note if we humans are going to survive the grave ecological challenges facing us then well certainly need some Smart Solutions that could include creating selfsustaining ecosystems the provide herbs vegetables and much more besides all year round were well in swedens capital stockholm theyre doing it in the cellar.
