Latvian Television Exposed: Working for Russian Special Services! 0 28

"Dear members of the Security Council, esteemed representatives of the media, and, I hope, not all of you are 'owners of the enemy's ears,' on October 9 of this year, while watching a segment of 'Panorama' about drone pilot competitions, I was not filled with surprise, but rather a classic, bitterly ironic question came to my mind: 'Is the head meant only for wearing a hat and consuming food?' Because what I saw on the air can only be interpreted in three ways:

1. Ignorance, which in the face of war is synonymous with shortsightedness and professional negligence;

2. Frivolity, which, like weakness, provokes the enemy;

3. Conscious service to the enemy by public media and the author of the competition idea, and this is where the dangerous part begins, which threatens mother Latvia.

The segment featured (and named) individuals whose faces should be protected as a strategic resource of the state, namely drone pilots, including those from Zemessardze, the army, and internal structures. Among them, for example, is Daniel, a zemessargs, who is likely good at his job. So good that now his face will be known not only to us but also to the potential occupying system.

In Ukraine, where even doctors operating on the front lines under drone fire remain anonymous, this is not done. Our neighbors, the Belarusians and Russians? They are even less so. They would be eager to know who specifically operates the most capable drones in Latvia, and you, public media, provided this in an HD-quality television report.

Yes, the 'golden fund,' as you, the creators of the report, might have thought. Only the golden fund is kept in a safe, not transmitted over the LTV waves to the servers of the GRU or FSB.

Have we learned nothing from the case of Estonian security officer Herman Simm? Simm was a patriot on paper and in words, but for 13 years he reliably transmitted NATO's secret information to Russia. Do traitors always speak a foreign language? Unfortunately, no.

Sometimes they sleep next to you in bed, eat your bread, and say, 'Everything will be fine, friend.'

Then the question arises: who whispered in the editor's ear this time, 'everything will be fine'? Who will answer if these individuals become a priority target of a hybrid operation? Who will answer if their families need to be evacuated or sheltered? And who will then justify themselves?

I, Edgars Abrams, ask:

The National Security Council – to immediately develop guidelines for covering events involving military/sensitive significant individuals.

The media and their council to cancel this topic, publicly apologize, and finally understand that information is not a weightless mass. It is a potential weapon element.

To all commanders and heads of institutions, once again as basic security training: protect the face just as you protect the coordinates of the front.

Sometimes it seems that the traitor does not have to come from Moscow or Minsk; he has long been in a comfortable television studio, with press accreditation and a microphone, shouting: 'Show again how you fly the drone!'"
