In a later text message, Mr. Haddad wrote: “There is absolutely nothing in this. Anyone publishing this nonsense can expect a very large lawsuit.”
“You have no right to gag people on the right or on the left, period,” he added, “and the organization that is busy identifying accounts, who are they at all to decide for the open and free world?”
Mr. Urich, the Likud party spokesman, said that he did not know Mr. Haddad, and that Mr. Haddad was not employed by the Likud party and had no connection with Likud.
The network’s messages have been redistributed by prominent figures in the Likud campaign team. Yair Netanyahu, an unofficial adviser to his father’s campaign, has retweeted the network’s members 154 times, the report said. Similarly, the network “liked” and replied to his messages 1,481 times, and shared his messages 429 times.
Yair Netanyahu did not reply to a request for comment. Mr. Urich, speaking on his behalf, said, “Yair Netanyahu has no role in the Likud campaign, does not know the people of the network and is not involved in its activities, if any.”
Some of the tweets that include curse words and anti-Arab slurs are written using numbers that look like letters in the Hebrew alphabet, apparently so that a Twitter audit would not identify them as inappropriate and shut down the account.
There have been efforts to update Israeli election law to cover relatively recent developments in social media. After the work of a special panel headed by a former Supreme Court chief justice, Dorit Beinisch, an amendment to the law was proposed to cover social media.
The Likud party opposed the amendment and it did not pass.
Karine Nahon, president of the Israel Internet Association, who was a member of the Beinish panel, said: “We made a great effort to submit the recommendations as soon as possible so that legislation could already be enacted in the coming elections. But when a first reading bill was about to be voted on, the Likud decided in the middle of the night to remove it from the agenda.”

I used to live in Tucson, teaching at the University of Arizona. The post-9/11 US, just half an hour away from the Mexican border, was a strange place to be. Armed vigilantes patrolled the desert hunting for illegal immigrants. Every day the local radio spewed paranoia and xenophobia. They talked about “true Americans” in small towns with “pure values”, as opposed to the corrupt liberal elite in the cities. A radical-right rhetoric was beginning to form, but it was still on the margins.
Poll after poll showed that trust in basic democratic institutions was diminishing. It was against this background that the rightwing radio host Rush Limbaugh claimed there were “four corners of deceit”: media, academia, science and government. Conspiracy theories mushroomed about how “liberal lobbies” had usurped the system. Populist demagogues began to advise building alternative rightwing institutions. A parallel universe. Information wars. Culture and knowledge, which have for centuries bound us together as human beings, were now regarded as a battleground.
Since then the radical right has seeped into the mainstream. A new breed of populist demagogue has arisen, with no care for facts, reason or data. Yet alongside this has been a silent shift: the emergence of a radical rightwing intelligentsia. With their books and talks they bridge the less-educated groups on the margins and the world of letters. A new publishing trend has emerged, and part of its task is to rewrite history.
In 2018, Jean-Marie Le Pen’s memoir Son of the Nation came out in France. The first edition sold out even before it arrived in bookshops. The book was, among other things, an attempt to rewrite the past, particularly the Vichy era. Nazi sympathisers in the Vichy government were romanticised as true French patriots. Le Pen himself has repeatedly denied the Holocaust, and calls the Nazi gas chambers “just a detail” in the history of the second world war. A similar attempt to reconstruct the past is taking place in Poland. In her books and talks, the historian Ewa Kurek claims the ghettos were “voluntary” and life was more difficult for Poles living outside the ghettos than it was for the Jews inside.
As a novelist I am particularly interested in how fiction fits into the new rightwing publishing. Hard though it is to admit for those of us who believe in the positive impact of books, today the art of storytelling is being used to spread hatred, bigotry and misinformation. That in itself is nothing new. The Turner Diaries, a dystopian novel regarded as the bible of the far right, is a 1978 novel by WL Pierce (writing as Andrew Macdonald). It depicts a future society where white Americans have been subdued by non-white minorities. The dominance of these minorities is opposed by an armed movement named “the Order”, which eventually carries out a genocide of all non-white people. The book has inspired a series of terrorist attacks, including the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995, in which 168 people died. A white nationalist group that called themselves the Order murdered Alan Berg, a liberal lawyer and anchorman, in 1984.
The Camp of the Saints, a 1973 novel by the French writer and explorer Jean Raspail, was recently rediscovered and repackaged by the far right. It has since sold in huge numbers, thanks to an endorsement from Steve Bannon. It, too, describes the collapse of western civilisation at the hands of “brown people”. Raspail, now 93, claims that the solution to today’s problems lies in suppressing compassion. “I have written that Christian charity will suffer a bit when faced with the answers to the influx of migrants. It will have to steel itself and suppress compassion of all sorts. Otherwise, our countries will be submerged.”
Few books in this new trend have been more influential than those written by the French novelist and essayist Renaud Camus. Camus, an ardent supporter of Marine Le Pen, claims a global elite is conspiring against the European white populations and culture. His views on “the great replacement” have been translated by far-right websites and used to reinforce the thesis that there is a “white genocide” at work.
That fear is also visible in Thilo Sarrazin’s 2010 book Germany Abolishes Itself, which topped German bestseller lists for 21 weeks and sold 1.5m copies. Sarrazin believes Muslim immigrants are less intelligent than Germans. Emboldened by his remarks, rightwing activists in Germany demand IQ tests for immigrants. In 2018 Sarrazin published Hostile Takeover, on more or less the same themes. This time, the political atmosphere has been even more welcoming with the far-right Alternative for Germanyhaving entered parliament. In an interview, when asked whether he had anything positive to say about Islam, Sarrazin responded: “No, I believe the world would have been a better place if Islam had never existed.”
The new radical right rhetoric deftly blends antisemitism and Islamophobia – but other forms of prejudice also share centre stage. Anti-feminism and gender bias echo throughout the works of the Canadian clinical psychologist Jordan Peterson. Packaging age-old reactionary machismo with sophisticated, academic language, he is the perfect intellectual icon for young, discontented men involved in the radical right. Peterson enjoys making grandiose claims and then watching people get upset. He is difficult to categorise, and that elusiveness is clearly cultivated. He walks an increasingly thin line between a scholar who rightly defends freedom of speech, and a demagogue who fuels discrimination. One wonders if this does not bother his conscience.
When we think of white supremacists, we often think of uneducated, unemployed young men who spend entire days behind computer screens, individuals so disconnected and atomised they search desperately for a sense of safety and security in the dark labyrinths of the internet. We think of Charlottesville, of angry men marching with flaming torches in their hands. But these images are limited, and they fail to capture the extent of the cultural shift we are undergoing today. To understand that, we need to focus on the seismic changes in the publishing industry. There is a new radical-right intelligentsia and they provide the missing link between the world of art and the margins, they give legitimacy to reactionary politics and to the backlash against progressive reforms; they systematically distort facts, unashamedly rewrite history, and use their words and social status to incite hostility and separation. And they manage to do all of this with a shiny veneer of intellectual sophistication.

Money laundering - McMafia: Episode 2 Preview - BBC One

McMafia author Misha Glenny lifts the lid on the stories behind his exposé of organised crime

1 Share

When McMafia aired on TV last year, the hit drama lifted the lid on the world of international organised crime.

It was based on a book sharing the same name written by journalist Misha Glenny a full decade earlier.
And so successful was the TV show it has not only earned a commission for a second season, Misha was invited to create his own live show talking about it.
After years of investigating and reporting on the most dangerous and sophisticated crime networks around the world, he takes us on a tour through the dark depths of world capitalism and corrupt intelligence agencies to explain what’s really happening behind the headlines – from Russian gangsters and Latin American cartel leaders to dodgy hedge funders and cyber hackers
As a BBC foreign correspondent in eastern Europe in the late 1980s and 90s, he was perfectly placed to witness the rise of international organised crime.
The book had nearly reached the screen before, but it was only when Oscar-nominated writer Hossein Amini and the director James Watkins came on board that things started to get moving.
Misha explains: ‘Because their reputations were sky-high and I was a known quantity to the BBC, that means we jumped some –  not all – of the hurdles that you’re confronted with when turning a book into television. It’s like the 3,000m steeple chase, basically.
‘Once it got going, my responsibility was over – I had written the book, I was there as an advisor and ensuring authenticity, so when it came out I could soak up all of the glory without doing too much extra work, which I really liked!
‘When it came out last year, that for me was a wonderful moment, because when you write a nonfiction book, the last thing you expect is for it to end up a relatively big-budget TV drama.’
He was invited to talk about the book and show at the Edinburgh Festival, which in turn has led to a national tour. 
Misha had a personal interest in eastern Europe going back to his teens, so when he was a BBC correspondent for the region he was able to tap into what was happening, particularly in former Yugoslavia – where organised crime acted as ‘a hub for services that were coming from all over the world, Colombia, Afghanistan, women being trafficked from the former-Soviet Union, untaxed cigarettes coming from factories all over the world, and everything was streaming in to the EU.
‘Really McMafia emerged as I started as I began to follow the threads of that trade backwards and then around the world, and then I was able to identify that along with the globalisation of licit goods and services, you were getting a very rapid and effective globalisation of organised crime.’
Since the book was published in 2008 he has seen governments and security organisations wake up to the threat these international organisations pose.
‘When McMafia was first published people really did have their heads in the sand and everyone thought organised crime was from the era of The Godfather. 
‘McMafia was one of several events which pushed globalised or transnational organised crime onto the political agenda and it’s now recognised by security analysts and intelligence agencies around the world as one of the top three security challenges we all face.’
Here in the UK we are perhaps less aware of how far organised crime extends into every day life.
‘The extent of it in the UK is less well appreciated because organised crime’s business here is to shift product –  this is the end point of the international business chain of organised crime where they need to get the cocaine to the consumers or they need to have the brothels functioning for the punters and so on, so here organised crime tries to avoid confrontations with the state.
‘It doesn’t challenge the state as it does in places like Mexico or Afghanistan, so it’s under the radar a lot.
‘One of the main functions of the UK is a huge centre of money laundering and that is of course not a visible crime – it doesn’t impact on people directly.
‘If they knew how much it was done, they’d realise that one of the drivers of rises in house prices has been the speculative investment in residential properties in London in particular, and one or two other places.
‘It feels like a victimless crime, but it’s completely central to the way that international organised crime works. Without that facility then these big operations cannot enjoy the fruits of their criminal labours, and that’s why McMafia when it came out last year had such a forceful impact because  people knew there were a lot of rich Russians – and it’s not just Russians, it’s Saudis, it’s Chinese – and what they didn’t realise was quite how much the origins of that wealth was obscured because so much of it has been laundered by anonymous companies in the tax havens or the crown dependencies, whether that’s The Caymans, or Jersey or Guernsey and so on.’
Misha has since become something of an international expert in the field of organised crime and cyber crime – he is a visiting professor on the subject at Columbia University's Harriman Institute.
But given the nature of his work has he bumped heads with the wrong people?
‘I’ve had threats from organisations in Montenegro and Bulgaria. The threats from the Bulgarians went away because the person making the threat went away – his life was ended prematurely. Nothing to do with me I hasten to add!
‘In Montenegro I ruffled the feathers of the then president, so he put a warning shot across my bows, but otherwise I’m always very careful when I meet people.
‘I spend months in advance communicating with them through intermediaries and trying to explain to them what I’m doing and that I’m not particularly interested in denouncing them as murderers or whatever – and I have to be very careful in communicating that! 
‘I’m interested in their lives. I will succeed 50 per cent of the time in getting to see them. I insist on seeing them in person, I won’t do it over email or Skype. Then I always start by asking them about their childhood, their parents, their school. 
‘I need to get them talking about themselves in a relaxed and honest fashion before I move on to the more contentious things. And it almost always works because although they’re involved in criminal activity, like most human beings there’s nothing they love more than talking about themselves.’
And it’s tapping into that ‘human’ side of these figures that has enabled Misha to get to grips with such incredible stories.
‘Most people involved in organised crime, particularly in unstable countries believe that they are not just criminals, but that they also have a social function and that’s because organised crime is successful where the state is weak or incompetent or simply lacking in resources, and what they do is they take over the function of the state.
‘Like this guy I wrote about in my last book [Nemesis: One Man and the Battle for Rio], Antonio –  he was the government of the largest favela in Rio. Because he ran the cocaine trade he was effectively the head of the chamber of commerce, he was prime minister and he was head of the police. It’s a big community of 100,000 people. He wasn’t elected, but the government really provides very few services or engagement with the people who live there. If it’s 100,000 people that’s a big responsibility.
‘But of course, what these figures can’t have is any accountability, so even if they do provide any services, as Antonio did, they are still a dictatorship.’
But it’s not all stories to give you nightmare in Misha’s show.
Misha adds: ‘There’s also an element of stand-up to the show because believe it or not, some areas of organised crime are very funny!’

How Germany's Mittelstand and Israel's Startup Nation Win Together

1 Share
By Jennifer Brunton
When you’re feeding your children, you’re probably trying to serve them the freshest, most wholesome ingredients, including vegetables, whole grains and the like.  
These healthy versions of fast food will get your family making better food choices and eating scrumptious meals together. Getty
The kids may have a slightly different agenda. A recent study found that kids are eating more fast food, even though parents are trying to make healthier choices.
Satisfy everybody with these healthy homemade recipes that mimic fast food without sacrificing nutrition. To increase the likelihood of clean plates, we’ve tapped the wisdom of some experts — food bloggers who are also parents — for the best ways to get the little ones on board.
 Want Healthy Eaters? Start Now
Persnickety Plates creator Melissa Williams suggests giving children natural, healthful foods as early as possible. 
“Incorporate lots of flavors and cuisines early on, so it’s normal for them,” she advised.
If your children are no longer so little, don’t despair: The best time to start offering a wider array of healthy choices is right now.
And what could be a better way to do so than by introducing homemade versions of their favorite fast foods?
Before You Get Cooking, Find Ways To Enlist The Kids
Lyndsay Burginger, managing editor at home-cooking site Wide Open Eats, recommends getting kids to eat healthy food by including them in the cooking process.  
“If it’s something they haven’t tried before, let them help you prepare it,” she advised. “Chances are they will want to try something they made themselves.” 
Great kitchen activities for kids include supervised chopping, stuffing (tacos, dumplings), kneading and rolling dough, placing toppings (nachos, pizzas) and, naturally, sampling.  
According to Williams, all that helping out is educational to boot. “They’re learning math and science, having a great time and, of course, they love eating the end products,” she said. 
Here are five delicious homemade “fast foods” your kids will love. 
Perfect Pizzas
Lots of children think pizza is the ideal meal. Luckily, it’s easy to bump up the benefits of this staple fast food with a touch of whole grain and extra vegetables. 
And kids will enjoy just about every phase of the pizza-making process, from handling the dough to choosing what goes on top.  
Start with a basic whole-grain pizza crust and add whatever vegetables, cheeses and meats your kids desire. You can vary the ratio of whole wheat if your family is initially resistant.  
Better Burgers 
A nice, juicy patty can provide a vehicle for any number of nutritious add-ins.
Healthy burgers for kids can include health-promoting ingredients, such as lentils and quinoa. Salmon burgers are a brain-boosting treat full of omega-3 fatty acids. And even good ol’ beef burgers can get in on the clean-food fun if you choose a leaner type of beef.
You’ll want to finish strong with enticing spreads and other customizable elements. The younger set will enjoy getting creative with garnishes, so the more veggies, the better.  
Squished between two whole-grain buns and loaded with your kids’ favorite toppings, these burgers will delight and nourish the entire family.  
Fantastic “Fries” 
When you bake your “fries,” you’re already ahead of the game, nutrition wise. Potatoes are, after all, a vegetable — and they’re packed with fiber and vitamin C.  
Try sweet potato fries for a boost of beta-carotene. Or try a range of root vegetables in place of potatoes. You can even experiment with unique flavor variations to keep the young ones coming back for more.  
Crispy Chicken  
Fast-food chicken is a primary food group for many kids and teens. You can increase the health quotient for this lean meat with a few simple tweaks. 
Burginger favors fried chicken that’s made with wholesome ingredients but still spot-on for picky palates.
“This chicken tastes like the real deal,” she explained. “And since you’re making it at home, it’s easy to leave out a little salt. Kids love this recipe because it’s easy to eat (hello, chicken drumsticks) and fun!”
Or go a step further and bake a quick chicken dish that keeps all the crispy deliciousness but also sheds some fat.  
Tantalizing Treats  
How about pizza and nachos for dessert? These fast food-style treats will get your kids to nosh on nutritious fruits — no convincing needed.  
Colorful fruit pizzas are easy to make and yummy to eat. Slather a sugar-cookie crust with luscious cream cheese frosting and use a mix of berries for the final touch.  
Fruit dessert nachos are a blast to prepare. Have the whole gang add heaps of fresh fruit onto oven-baked cinnamon tortilla chips and then drizzle with creamy chocolate sauce.  
These healthy versions of fast food will get your family making better food choices and eating scrumptious meals together.

George Papadopoulos, formerly an aide to US President Donald Trump's campaign for president, said he was never questioned by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team with regard to Russia, only work related to Israel, calling it the "key" to his case.
"What I was really targeted for by the Mueller team and these individuals has nothing to with Russia, it has to do with my work in Israel and my work, actually, as an energy lobbyist," he told Army Radio in an interview broadcast on Sunday.
"I never met a single Russian official in my entire life, even on the Trump campaign. All these characters in my story that were described falesly by the FBI and Bob Mueller to be Russians were, in fact, Western intelligence operatives that were sent to try and sabotage the Trump campaign."
Papadopoulos, who was plucked out of obscurity to work as a foreign policy adviser for Donald Trump's presidential run, pleaded guilty in October 2017 to lying to the FBI about his communications with two Russian nationals and a Maltese professor with Russian ties while working on the campaign.
In his book, "
Deep State Target: How I Got Caught in the Crosshairs of the Plot to Bring Down President Trump
," Papadopoulos claims he was duped into pleading guilty and says his admitted lies were memory lapses and unintentional.
"I believe it's a total vindication for both the campaign, the transition team and the current administration," he told Army Radio of US Attorney General William Barr's report on the Mueller report. "And what I do believe is going to happen now is I think this vindication is going to result in new investigation into those who committed this unlawful, unjustful witch hunt, as the president calls it."
Under his plea deal, Papadopoulos acknowledged that Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese academic, told him in April 2016 that Russia had "dirt" on then-Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, three months before hacked emails started appearing online and doing damage to the Clinton campaign.

Papadopoulos told Australian diplomat Alexander Downer over drinks in May 2016 that Russia had political dirt on Clinton. Australian officials passed that information to their US counterparts two months later, helping trigger the FBI's probe into Russian attempts to influence the Trump campaign.
The ex-campaign strategist was 
sentenced to 14 days in federal prison
 for lying to the FBI and told Army Radio he has "no expectations" for a presidential pardon.
"My lawyers think he might issue [a pardon]; I don't have any expectation though," he said. "I believe the foundation of my case was corrupted as President Trump will see the entire Mueller investigation surrounding me was my work with Israel and not with Russia."
Despite his legal troubles, Papadopoulos said he remains a Trump supporter.
"I am a very big supporter of President Trump, I think his decision to 
move the embassy to Jerusalem
 and acknowledge
Israel's right to the Golan Heights
 are incredibly important, both from a strategic point of view, but also from a moral standpoint. So of course I'm very pleased with him and I support him and I expect him to be reelected in 2020.

The Criminal Investigations That Sprouted From Mueller

1 Share
The special counsel’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election is over, but federal prosecutors are pursuing a slew of criminal inquiries that grew out of the investigation.
Several investigations stemmed from the inquiry into Michael D. Cohen, Donald J. Trump’s former personal lawyer. The special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, turned the Cohen investigation over to federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York early last year.
