Mad Vlad is setting the stage for a first strike against the West. With his Chinese, Nork, and Muslime buddies, he’s looking for a clean sweep.

OA
I have heard that up to 40 people have been arrested in Turkey in connection with this.

Archer, I understand what you are saying; but I don’t think that will happen just yet. Everybodies war machines are running empty on men, weapons and materiel. Give everybody time to build up their war machines. That is when it will happen; and it will be really bad!!

If Vlad does a targeted response, he'd take out Obama, Victoria Nuland, Vallery Jarrett, Susan Rice and a few high ranking CIA pukes. In England, Boris and a couple of his closest pals in MI 6. That would be fine. I'm worried that he may take out D.C. , NYC and a few other convenient targets which would lead to a very hot war.

The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko stated today during a Press Conference that the 4 ISIS Terrorists last Friday Night after committing their Attack in Moscow were Initially Traveling through the Bryansk Region towards the Border with Belarus, but due to Belarusian Security Forces and Military Units being placed on High Alert they were forced to Divert towards the Russia-Ukraine Border; this Statement appears to Contradict what Russian President Putin has been saying, which is that the Terrorist’s Plan from the beginning was to Escape to Ukraine.

Same folks who planned the gas pipeline explosion! Would not surprise me at all. Does anyone believe what our government says anymore?
DISCLAIMER: Now, don't get me wrong. Some things are classified and for very good reason and disinformation is the cornerstone of the intelligence world. If it truly pertains to national security I understand and fully support keeping information from our enemies. No, the public does not have the right or the need to know everything about everything. However.....

I stopped believing our government in 1975. I was in the Army Security Agency and was stationed at a small installation know as the 7th Radio Research Field Station, Thailand. It was an Army euphemism for electronics intelligence gathering. Our job was to intercept radio communications. (And, we were VERY good at our job.) I witnessed first hand the difference between raw intel and what the government put out to the public. No possible semblance to the truth. When necessary I fully support this.

I was there when the Cambodian Navy seized the Mayaguez and when Viet Nam fell. Now, not everything was or needed to be classified. Much of both situations were simply news and nothing more. But what the government released and what was truth were virtually polar opposite. It was pure propaganda and no reason for it. That was when I became a confirmed agnostic in regards to believing anything the government put out to the public.

I still don't see why any old boat couldn't drag a rare earth magnet on the bottom such as used under bridges for magnet fishing, snatch onto the pipe, and slide a boom boom down the line. No divers needed.

This pipe was less than 300 feet down and was not buried.

My buddy has one of those magnets, he latched onto a chunk of metal he couldn't pull up and had to use the winch on his jeep to get his magnet yanked off the metal down in the water.

The magnet line is actually dyneema winch line, such is the strength of the magnet.

My DH did something similar in the Air Force. I think he called it non Morse intercept operator or something. They were involved with the U2 spy plane somehow.

Yup. We had both ditty chasers (Morse intercept) and lingies (voice intercept) where I was stationed. And busy little beavers they were.

Russia Says Attack Foiled in South of Country – Agencies - The Moscow Times​

Russia's security services said Friday that they had arrested three people from "a Central Asian country" who were plotting an attack in the south of the country, news agencies reported.
The FSB said in a statement that it had "put an end to the terrorist activities of three nationals from a Central Asian country who were planning to commit a terrorist act by blowing up a device in a public place in the Stavropol region," the agencies said.



Russian television showed images of several men pinned to the ground by FSB agents.
The RIA Novosti news agency said the ingredients for an improvised explosive device (IED) and chemical substances had been found at the home of one of the suspects.



The announcement came a week after last Friday's massacre at the Crocus City concert hall on the outskirts of Moscow, which claimed at least 144 lives.
The Stavropol region sits in the North Caucasus region of southern Russia, bordering Dagestan and Chechnya among other regions.

9 detained in Tajikistan in connection with Moscow concert hall attack, Russian state media report​


Updated 4:03 PM EDT, March 29, 2024

MOSCOW (AP) — Nine people have been detained by Tajikistan’s state security service over suspected contact with the perpetrators of last week’s attack on a suburban Moscow concert hall that killed 144 people, Russian state news agency RIA Novosti said Friday.

The reported arrests came exactly a week after the massacre in the Crocus City Hall, in which gunmen shot people waiting for a show by a popular rock band and then set the building on fire. The four suspected attackers were arrested and identified as Tajik nationals.

An affiliate of the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack, the deadliest on Russian soil in years. The Kremlin, however, has insisted that Ukraine and the West had a role, something Kyiv has vehemently denied.

RIA Novosti said Friday, citing an unnamed source in Tajikistan’s security services, that those detained in the Central Asian country were residents of the Vakhdat district that lies east of the Tajik capital, Dushanbe. The report said those detained are suspected of having connections with IS. Russian security forces were also involved in the operation to detain them, according to the agency.

In Russia, a total of nine suspects have faced court so far and were remanded in pre-trial detention. The latest hearing took place Friday, with a judge in the Basmanny District Court ruling that suspect Lutfulloi Nazrimad should be held in custody until at least May 22. Russian independent news site Mediazona cited Nazrimad as saying in court that he was born in Tajikistan.

Russian officials previously said that 11 suspects had been arrested, including four who allegedly carried out the attack. Those four, identified as Tajik nationals, appeared in a Moscow court on Sunday on terrorism charges and showed signs of severe beatings. One appeared to be barely conscious during the hearing.


Russia’s Investigative Committee additionally said Thursday it had detained another suspect in relation to the raid on Crocus City Hall, on suspicion of being involved in financing the attack. It did not give further details of the suspect’s identity or alleged actions.

Russian officials including President Vladimir Putin have persistently claimed, without presenting evidence, that Ukraine and the West had a role in the attack.

The Investigative Committee said Thursday that it has “confirmed data that the perpetrators of the terrorist attack received significant amounts of money and cryptocurrency from Ukraine, which were used in preparing the crime.” On Friday, the agency also claimed that the suspects said they were instructed to head to Kyiv after the attack to collect their payment.

Ukraine denies involvement and its officials claim that Moscow is pushing the allegation as a pretext to intensify its fighting in Ukraine.

The death toll from the raid continues to rise, with the number of deaths increasing to 144 on Friday when a severely injured victim died in a hospital, according to Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko.

This has all the markings of a false flag operation that the KGB ran.
Too complicated if what they accomplished was all they we trying to accomplish.

All they would have needed was a few pounds of high explosives and an already dead Ukraineian scape goat.

The "3 Bs" at work.

If you're the Ukrainians at this point, why "hold back" if you're looking at either the Hague, Siberia or a 9X18mm in the back of the head if you loose now for certain.

Like I said before, from an operational standpoint (IMHO of course) if the Ukrainians had the ability to put such a team into Moscow, taking out a theater full of civilians is a waste of capabilities when there is so much war related support infrastructure and C4ISR in the capitol, never mind going further east to the airfields, factories, fuel storage and munition storage facilities supporting Russian forces in Ukraine.

BREAKING: RUSSIA OFFICIALLY BLAMES UKRAINE FOR MOSCOW TERRORIST ATTACK

OFFICIAL STATEMENT:

"Russia's demands on Ukraine under the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings and the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism

The bloody terrorist act that took place on March 22 in Krasnogorsk and shocked the whole world is far from the first terrorist attack against our country in recent times.

The investigative actions carried out by the Russian competent authorities indicate that the traces of all these crimes lead to Ukraine.

Other barbaric terrorist attacks using explosive devices cost the lives of journalists D.A. Dugina and M.Yu.

Fomin (V. Tatarsky), led to the serious injury of the writer E.N. Prilepin and the death of his driver A.l.

Shubin, the death of five people as a result of the explosion of the Crimean Bridge, 42 people were injured in an explosion in a cafe in St. Petersburg. Killings and mutilations of civilians, including children, accompanied the raids of the terrorist organization "Russian Volunteer Corps" (RDK).

In this regard, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs conveyed to the Ukrainian authorities demands within the framework of the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings (ICBT) and the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism (ICT) for the immediate arrest and extradition of all persons involved in these terrorist attacks.

Among these demands is the arrest of the head of the SBU V. Malyuk, who cynically admitted on March 25 that Ukraine organized the bombing of the Crimean Bridge in October 2022 and revealed details of the organization of other terrorist attacks in the Russian Federation.

The fight against international terrorism is the responsibility of every state. The Russian side demands that the Kyiv regime immediately stop any support for terrorist activities, hand over the perpetrators and compensate the damage caused to the victims. Ukraine's violation of its obligations under anti-terrorist conventions will entail its international legal responsibility.

Deeper dive into the recent Moscow Crocus concert hall attack, very interesting, connecting lots of dots.


Asymmetric Response and the Perp Walk to World War III​


Have you ever tried to break out of the orbit of a narcissist? It’s damn difficult. Their pattern of emotional abuse is designed to make you feel like the abuser, demoralizing you, sapping you of your vitality and agency.

They weaponize your humanity and feed off your guilt. When you finally summon the courage to divorce yourself from them that’s when the fangs really come out. That’s when their true face is revealed. And it’s nothing but scorn, derision and unfettered hatred.

Narcissists don’t love you. They love themselves.

I’m opening this article with that quick reminder of human psychology to set the stage for this week’s discussion of all things geopolitical. There ain’t no art in this piece folks, I’m too damn exhausted to craft the language.

Why am I exhausted? Running behind narcissists as they perp walk us towards World War III saps the energy of even the most resilient personality. The truly malignant narcissists that think they operate the levers of power over the world have realized that we are walking away from them.

And they are *ucking angry. The feeling is very, very mutual.

Since the firing of VicToria “Cookies” Nuland from the State Department on March 5th (and make zero mistake she was fired) events surrounding Russia are accelerating. Last weekend’s attack on the Crocus Concert Hall in Moscow was supposed to originally happen on March 9th, apparently. It was to be timed with Joah BIi-Den’s! State of the Union address and meant as a severe warning to Russians to ‘make the right decision’ and vote against Vladimir Putin a week later.

That day the State Department issued a warning to all Americans to stay away from meetings, concert halls, etc. I think this was us finally acting like a grown up, because it begs a major question that doesn’t comport with unlimited US aggression towards Russia.

Why would we issue this warning knowing full well the Russians would respond to it and stop the attack?

It literally makes no sense. When Nuland is fired from the State Department, our first reaction was to see it as a shift in US foreign policy away from Russia and towards China. Toria lost a power play. See you at the auto show.

That sounds neat and compact… but is it the whole story?

Because then the attack actually happens two weeks later. A bunch of Tajiks go in, like the professional soldiers they are, shoot the place up and make their escape. Acting not at all in character for the ISIS head-choppers who were immediately blamed for this.

Pepe Escobar’s recent article on this is excellent and is worth the read. He goes through the timelines and traces a lot of important connections. But, as I was reading it I noticed that he ‘buried the lede,’ as i saw it.

Ace Russian war correspondent Marat Khairullin has added another juicy morsel to this funky salad: he convincingly unveils the MI6 angle in the Crocus City Hall terror attack (in English here, in two parts, posted by “S”).

The FSB is right in the middle of the painstaking process of cracking most, if not all ISIS-K-CIA/MI6 connections. Once it’s all established, there will be hell to pay.

But that won’t be the end of the story. Countless terror networks are not controlled by Western intel – although they will work with Western intel via middlemen, usually Salafist “preachers” who deal with Saudi/Gulf intel agencies.

The case of the CIA flying “black” helicopters to extract jihadists from Syria and drop them in Afghanistan is more like an exception – in terms of direct contact – than the norm. So the FSB and the Kremlin will be very careful when it comes to directly accusing the CIA and MI6 of managing these networks.


Because the GGnG community sniffed out this angle almost immediately, linking in Khairullin’s post for us to ruminate on. This isn’t meant as a slight to Escobar. He was working a lot of angles in this story, parsing through everything to lead to a conclusion. That takes time and I’m glad he took it.

But for me, the MI6 angle is the first one to be considered in this attack, not the last one.

And the keys lie in that very timeline. Because, as opposed to assuming that the US is the catalytic agent for events here — easy to think because Nuland is involved — reframing this as a distinctly British operation (with help from rogue elements in the State Dept. and CIA, of course) yields a far more coherent narrative.

Remember, we’re dealing ultimately with narcissists here. Then let’s remember cui bono.

Because without assessing who benefits from this attack, we aren’t doing the analysis right. Moreover, I’m not trying to blame shift here away from the US. We are definitely a player here. But it’s defining who ‘we’ in the US is where the nuance lies.

What if Nuland was fired because knowledge of this attack finally reached the right people at State and the DoD? And they realized, rightly so, that an attack like this would make it nearly impossible for Putin to ignore and force his hand politically to escalate the war in Ukraine to a level that would justify to the people of the West that it was finally time for us to get involved over there.

You can hear the growing chat of “Putin must go” emanating from the think tanks on K Street and the halls of GCHQ.

Who wants that outcome? Who has been begging for that outcome for over two years? Who has staged provocation (Kerch, Nordstream, Bucha, hitting Russian ships in the Black Sea, ZNPP, etc.) after provocation to get Putin “on tilt?” Outside of Victoria Nuland’s office and Lindsay Graham, no one in the US has been fully committed to this the entire time.

Nikki Haley was finally forced out of the presidential race.

If anything, the longer this war goes on the less support Ukraine has gotten from the US, even from Bii-Den!. The shift in the US attitude towards Ukraine has been happening for over a year.

No, the people who have made the most noise are the gods-damned British, who Nuland certainly works hand-in-glove with. The French and German Greens have been just as full-throated, so continental Europe isn’t being spared here either.

So, now here’s what I think the real story is surrounding Crocus. Nuland, MI6, and likely the Turks put this thing together using ISIS-K Tajik mercenaries to kill a bunch of Russians. The operational goal was to keep the US from turning its back on the malignant narcissistic colonialist assholes in Europe who need this war but cannot fight it. That’s the Yanks’ job.

US leadership, already deep in plans to extricate themselves from Europe and pivot to China, warn the Russians on March 7th which scrubs the March 9th operation after sending the major signal that things in Ukraine will calm down by firing Nuland on March 5th.

This is what real statecraft looks like.

After that, the operation is still going forward but under someone else’s guidance (or just on auto-pilot). Nuland’s fingerprints are all over it. The US looks guilty as hell. What does evil do? It doesn’t sleep, it waits. And then we get the actual attack last weekend, after Putin wins a massive re-election. It still serves it’s primary purpose, force Putin’s hand.

Now, the kicker. Who issues notes of condolences to Russia for the attack? Shockingly, the US and NATO. In the past three years there hasn’t been one conciliatory utterance from Sec. of State Antony Blinken’s pie hole when it comes to Russia. He’s been the epitome of the anti-diplomat.

And yet, here he is issuing condolences to Russia. Then the US abstains from the UNSC council vote against Israel, another British project going completely haywire.

None of this tracks with the US and Russia are implacable enemies narrative folks. Not. One. Single. Bit. Of. It.

Now, guess who refused to even acknowledge the Russian loss of life? Yup … the UK.

Here’s Jeremy Hunt:

UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt has told Sky News that Britain has “very little confidence in anything the Russian government says.”

“We know that they are creating a smokescreen of propaganda to defend an utterly evil invasion of Ukraine. But, that doesn’t mean that it’s not a tragedy when innocent people lose their lives, when you have horrible bombings,” Hunt said. Hunt further emphasized that London takes “what the Russian government says with an enormous pinch of salt… after what we have seen from them over the last few years.”


Can you not feel how dirty Hunt felt having to even half-heartedly lament dead Russians? It’s beyond pathetic and inhuman, but then again, he’s a member of the British Political Elite… what else can you expect from these bloodless ghouls?

David Cameron has done nothing but lambaste the US for not ponying up more money for Ukraine. In effect blaming us for Ukraine’s losses. This is classic narcissistic bullying of the victim here.

But, the real revelation came from top EU diplomat Josep Borrell, who can always be counted on to show the world how one contracts foot-in-mouth disease. In a shocking display of truth telling Borrell finally told the world the reality behind Ukraine:

uk.JPG


Remember, narcissists don’t love you. They love themselves. Note the direction of the clip, when Borrell is imploring Americans, cue the one-shot and the close up. This is all staged, my friends. This is the real truth and it’s a warning from Borrell.

So, in this context, Blinken’s condolences have to be taken as a real fig leaf to Putin. Sadly, both sides have to continue gearing up for future conflict because it’s the prudent thing to do, even if neither side wants it. Sound familiar? It’s reminiscent of the story of WWI.

The US was led into the trap in Ukraine by Nuland and her co-collaborators in MI6 and Europe over the past decade. All three players, the US, UK and Europe had reasons for Ukraine, but all were ultimately different.
