Wow Ernesto, you may be on to something. The men in blue photos are damning if authentic.

The men in blue could just as easily be accomplices. They arrested 7 accomplices very early on.

I followed Edward Slavsquat for a short time. I concluded he doesn't know squat. An American living in Moscow. Who knows why he's there, since he hates "dictator" Putin, who lets him live there & freely express himself.

I had a more prosaic question. Why is the sign on the Crocus City Hall in English with Latin characters?

I also had a sudden memory of the opening of "Red Storm Rising".

Expand full comment

The theory is worth considering. But one obvious problem is that material concerning the attack, including video, has been coming from sources considered to be aligned with ISIS-K, which is generally assumed to be a US catspaw. So is the idea that the Russians have been able to spoof ISIS-K communications, or that the US or ISIS-K (for unknown reasons of their own) are going along with the faking of the attack, or that ISIS-K was actually a Russian rather than an American asset all along?

Torture is unacceptable. It was the U$ofA that ushered in a new era of torture post 9-11 & now torture has become normalised to many observers in society at large.

Not too terrible while I wait for a nurse (who has just rung me) to come & change my dressing! How's yourself?

We're watching the West staggering round shooting itself and others more & more like a demented fatally wounded animal. Such is the last stage of Zionism.

Did you see how the Baltimore Bridge collapsed like a house of cards even on the real time video footage? Hells Bells, even I and a colleague of mine have designed a catastrophe resistant lightweight steel space frame structure for extremely hostile environments but that is for icosahedral [dome] space. It is based on a revolutionary cubic space frame known as "Catrus", developed by Dundee University, to design out any catastrophic collapse. Catrus contrasts with the comparatively poorly designed structure of the Baltimore Bridge probably designed or constructed on the cheap to save [imaginary] money but this disaster might yet bring the catalyst we're waiting for.

China is the greatest infrastructure builder upon the entire planet. They literally build bridges everywhere & they are extremely efficient at it. Maybe Baltimore should demand of the relevant U$ofA authorities that China be invited to rapidly build one of their superb bridges to pull the city out of terrible paralysis while beginning to realise the massive advantages of co-operation rather than competition. Check out the Machine Eye channel for China's awesome infrastructure prowess. Here's an example: https://youtu.be/8zjgx51x1yc Maybe then the good citizens of Baltimore might begin to understand that a meritocratic people-based democracy like there is in China is *VASTLY* better than the oligarchic zombie 'democracy' we have here in the doomed west. Other than that, Baltimore will likely go down the same merciless capitalist toilet as Flint & Detroit have travelled down before it.

I do feel major change is on the cards soon. I just hope it's not radioactive.

Oh, I am perfectly comfortable with my reaction. As a tip of advice - your "tRy tHeM iN CoUrT! dUe ProCeSS" is a manifestation of much of what is wrong in the western world. The legal system is for legal people. In fact, it was the good ol' USA who came up with the term "enemy combatant" and flushed a bunch of guys into a hole in guantanamo. Do I feel bad that some innocents may have gotten caught up? Sure. Do I think the price was worth it? Definitely debatable, I'm leaning yes. But don't worry, your precious terrorists will be spared the non-available death penalty in Russia. So they will live. Till they die in prison by accidentally stabbing themselves 37 times in the yard... but hey accidents happen.

You are apparently an escapee from Idiocracy.

Russians don't require a confession from these people. The Russians are, however, interested in gathering information about the people behind them.

Despite the nonsense you may believe, almost everyone will divulge what they know under duress, and these terrorists have already shown they are no heroes.

The normal problem is being sure that what someone says under pressure is the truth. Since in this case the Russians have 4 of them to interrogate separately, as well as other members of the cell they have hauled in, plus phone records and Russian interception of calls by the terrorists while they were attempting to escape, the Russians are able to cross match all those information sources and detect if someone attempts to lie under duress. Though, again, since these terrorists have already shown they are no heroes, such lies are unlikely.

I understand that this may be difficult for someone from Idiocracy to comprehend.

What I would like to know is where they found idiots willing to do this kind of thing to *Russians*. I mean attacking the US, we're pansies in comparison.

An Internet troll is someone who enters an online discussion and posts comments designed to upset or disrupt the conversation.

"Dark Tetrad" personality traits include narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism.

-psychology today

Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.

" The leaders of the West are alienating half their society, the half that retains sanity and clear eyed thinking."

It's not so much "the leaders alienating" but rather the opposite. "The half" happy with lies - in order to keep marauding as much as possible, while proclaiming the opposite, usually called hypocrisy - is being exposed by THE TRUTH (not only on the political stage in case of VVP) presenting itself worldwide in every corner of of GOD ALMIGHTY'S CREATION.

Those hanging on to their old wicked ways are going to be devoured by THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN first.

As sanity and clear eyed thinking are not gained through government granted privileges nor acquired by "leaders" consent but are simply gifted through FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT FOREVER AND EVER - AMEN HALLELU-YAH - SOLI DEO GLORIA!

Or how this attack could inspire more Russian citizens to join the army voluntarily, thus avoiding the need for an additional conscription, an issue plaguing Ukraine?

I don't give my hypothesis much of a percentage of probability. I believe the people of Russia have a MUCH higher degree of integrity than the whole of the USA. My journey down the Rabbit Hole since 2019 has taught me to entertain ALL possibilities. Better yet, recall the end of The Godfather.

Putin just won a decisive election victory. Unity among Russians is high. Russia is decisively winning/advancing to its goals in Ukraine.

The western financial system that has enslaved Russia and the world is teetering on the brink of collapse- which is coming soon.

The American military has been exposed as a paper tiger with grossly overpriced second rate weapons systems.

Putin/Russian leadership have exactly zero reasons to allow such an act to happen.

27 March 2024 Understanding Putin

https://nationalinterest.org/feature/key-understanding-vladimir-putin-82391#disqus_thread

September 21, 2019

With thanks to Will Schryver for posting this - https://nitter.poast.org/imetatronink

« The Key to Understanding Vladimir Putin » by John Evans

A very clear minded first hand account of the then young assistant to the Mayor of St Petersbug, from a career US diplomat, from 1995 onwards

Untainted by the present day general vilifications nor by the scale of his achievements – this represents a very even minded portrait of an efficient legal minded reputedly incorruptible.. well you have here that rara avis – a straightforward even affectionate sketch which takes care to state just what is or can be known from an un baised witness – who does express mildmannered incredulity that no one else in the US bureaucracy was then prepared to take him seriously, apart from President Bush

This admiration shines through the bureaucratese in President Bush’s White House Press Confernce statements and in the q/a joint session during his first meeting with President Putin at Brdo Castle in June 2001 – in which the range of discussions and the evident enthusiasm display great optimism

To read this now is to regret all that since has come to pass

https://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2001/06/20010618.html

John Evans- « Putin is what Russians call a “gosudarstvennik,” a man of the state. He is not motivated primarily by money, although St. Petersburg friends of ours acknowledge that he has not failed to take advantage of opportunities that have come his way. When I and other Americans in St. Petersburg knew Putin, he had the reputation as the only bureaucrat in the city who did not take bribes (this is an exaggeration; there were others). He was well regarded on the whole, and devoted to his mentor and then-boss, Sobchak, one of the great democrats of the new Russia. A former law professor, Sobchak was a fine writer and orator, but not the most effective manager. Putin largely ran the day-to-day operations of the city, and was credited with bringing some order into the chaotic crime-ridden business world. As Russians said in those days, “if you have crime, isn’t it better that it be organized?” I cannot recall Putin personally saying that, but he might have.

Unlike Yeltsin, Putin was never a heavy drinker. Nor was he a teetotaler. He would deliver a toast when required, which was often, and do it well. Toasts in Russia are a way of communicating, of showing respect, and of honoring people, especially on birthdays and career anniversaries or other milestones. Toasts are offered also (without clinking glasses) to the dead, and there were unfortunately many such occasions in St. Petersburg in the 1990s, not to mention the tragic memories of World War II, in which the city was besieged for 900 days, claiming members of Putin’s own family. The entire city and Consular Corps turns out without fail for the memorial to those who died in the Siege of Leningrad and lie in mass graves at the Pushkaryevskoe Cemetery.

Those of us who knew Putin in the 1990s recall that his formula for the recovery of Russia consisted of three elements: rebuilding the economy, dealing with the crime problem, and reforming the courts. That was a pretty good prescription for what ailed Russia at the time and is still a good basic recipe. Note that he was concerned exclusively with domestic problems: nothing about geopolitics here.

I am not going to attempt to prove it, but I assure you that Putin 1) was not anti-American (although he felt more comfortable with Germans); 2) was not a communist (at least by that time) or hostile to private business; 3) was not anti-Semitic; 4) and was not intolerant of gay people. I have already noted that he had a legal bent. You may take my word for these assertions or not. I have concrete examples to back each of them. »

But the fact that the US has not given up on de stabilising Afghanistan and surrounding countries, not only for the inherent interest, but above all to frustrate China Russia Iran attempts to stablise and invest, and to spread terrorism to the neighbours

That the US can not operate nor exercise influence other than by terrorism, never by reason, trade or diplomacy, would lead to the inevitable conclusion that the interests of these terrorists and the interests of the US are identical in means methods and aims

Gerrard W, thank you for posting that article, very informative.

I find myself rooting for Russia.

The western alliance, rules based order, American hegemony - as you like it - is truly an empire of lies. Most ominously it is no longer a mercantilist endeavour it is now an ideological project based on a perverse set of ideas. Professor Deneen calls it the “political Gnosticism of the liberal imperium” and it is, in my view, an atrocity that has and will continue to wreak havoc on the world. The evidence is already clear; It is the managerial regime gone rogue; Forever war is it’s endeavour.

The Russians are standing up to it; it is far worse than that which they are fighting.

Poor Ukraine: suckers. Next up, Iran or Taiwan, they don’t know themselves, it will take its own life, it’s own course, all we can be sure is that forever wars in pursuit of democracy in the rules based order will continue. Who’s gonna die next?

The Kremlin is smarter that the public, they know ISIS is a Mossad/CIA/Neocon creation. By the USA saying ISIS did it, they are admitting their Muslim boogeyman did it. Wake the F up public, 23 years later and you still don’t know how 9/11 was a Neocon operation. Yes Israel and the CIA killed the USA President Kennedy too.

Will T, you say 9-11 was a neocon operation. Do you mean direct planning? Or do you mean that with the creation of Isis they created conditions, so that sooner or later something would happen, which is to say indirectly they caused 911.

I have not done a deep dive on possible saboteurs in the USA. While I do maintain there are many covert actions around the world, it is still credible that these catastraphies are due to the undeniable fact that the USA is crumbling at a fundamental social bonds level.

Here is a book on Collapse by a well respected Russian that grew up in America, Dmitry Orlov:

The five stages of collapse

Stages of Collapse.

Stage 1: Financial collapse. Faith in “business as usual” is lost. ...

Stage 2: Commercial collapse. Faith that “the market shall provide” is lost. ...

Stage 3: Political collapse. ...

Stage 4: Social collapse. ...

Stage 5: Cultural collapse.

Jws and Israel and Zionists and Neocons and and tranhumanists and technocrats have all the same goal of collapsing Western Civ to bring about something in their preferred image. We have no immune system and the basic unit of societ - family - has divorce rates that are devastating to basic functions in society. Our bridges and planes and trains will continue collapsing until we develop an immune sysyem and strengthen families to traditional levels.

Thanks for responding and sharing Orlov's approach. I will order the book as it looks very interesting and potentially useful.

Subsequent to this attack, there is yet more and more tired clichés about RF taking the gloves off and fighting a war etc

This looks unlikely for many reasons – one is that this kind of terrorism merely confirms RF analysis that it is the Ukrainian régime which needs to be defeated, not the people, and that this is best achieved by the conduct of the SMO as until present

Besides as S points out – President Putin is more inclined to take this opportunity to show reasonable willingness to negotiate – after all the US is notably tired of the Ukie régime and their terrorist attacks on RF oil refineries

It is unlikely that the calls to adopt the western cowboy style, and the press provocations as for example supplied by that French TV report, will do anything but confirm a judgement that the Uk régime, and the western press, is on it’s last legs

It will be a fatal mistake for Russia this time not to (finaly) do it. Ukraine should have been destroyed since week one or maximum in April 22 after bojo destroyed negociations. Last chance, or Russia destroys 404 or Nato will strike on Kremlin, be sure as they are finished (nato, EU) otherwise like Borrel says. Enough SMO failure. Nuke London and the war is over. US does not care about this tiny island which still believes they rule the World.They will retreat on their very big island, war on such a scale not good for reelection. They should better invest in their infras like bridges for exemple..

Unhinged rantings of a lunatic.

Putin and Russia have played this masterfully.

Perfectly no.

But far better than you or anyone else could have.

In the end Russia will achieve all or most of its many goals from this SMO.

The primary being the elimination of any future threat from Ukrainian territory, a greatly diminished or destroyed NATO, EU, America, western financial system and the zionist/western oligarch cartel that has been controlling the world for the past couple or few hundred years.

Pretty damn good strategy and results I would say.

Scott Ritter just posted something to the same effect at https://www.scottritterextra.com/p/true-north?r=2o2kcj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web:

Shahada is a ritual, and those who make Shahada must understand its importance for it to have any meaning. As such, if one incorporates the raising of the right index finger as part of the Shahada ritual, it must be done piously. The use of the right hand is critical—in the Muslim faith, the right hand symbolizes all that is good, and the left is reserved for unclean acts: “No one among you should eat with his left hand or drink with it, for the shaytaan (devil) eats with his left hand and drinks with it.”

- The four attackers delivered this oath by raising their left hands.

- They also published this photograph with their faces blurred—they were shielding their identity.

- There can be no subterfuge when reciting Shahada—it is an oath made before God and in the eyes of men.

- Moreover, the blurring of their faces indicated that the attackers intended to survive their mission.

For most militants affiliated with ISIS-K, true north is the path to martyrdom, a one-way ticket to paradise. Their goal is to inflict as much harm as possible before being dispatched from this mortal earth, an act that is usually made certain using a suicide vest detonated at a time when more death and destruction can be wrought.

The perpetrators of the Crocus City Hall attack, however, did not wear suicide vests. Indeed, they had no intention of losing their lives, but rather to live and be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor, a purported $5,500 payment for services rendered.

- These weren’t Islamist militants.

- These were mercenaries who disguised themselves as Islamic militants.

Personal experience taught me that pious Muslims make a strong right-hand vs left-hand distinction. We were passing out flyers when a mosque prayer session ended. The people were suspicious of us and this flyer. Because they were passed us on their left, they took the flyers with their left hands. When they saw the flyer was for an event that any good Muslim would be glad to support, they immediately passed the flyers to their right hand. People coming from behind saw the left-right pass, understood what it meant, and went out of their way to twist and take the flyers with their right hands.

Another story about hos strong these superstitions can be. In Saudi Arabia, the tradition is that when men are prostrate for prayer, their feet touch their neighbors - so the devil can't get through. It's just a local Saudi superstition, and my devout friend from South Asia was annoyed by a teenager who was very insistent about observing this tradition. Had it not been in a mosque, the teen seemed ready for a fistfight.

When there is no electricity and no prospect of it coming back on- how comfortable is that Kiev apartment?

When large numbers of desperate people begin advancing in the direction of electricity, shelter and food(Europe), do you think they will be thinking- I wonder if I will find a nice flat?

The EU "leadership" has brought migrant surges from Africa and Turkey- now they are responsible for bringing the second, and much larger refugee surge from Ukraine.

This is win/win for Russia. Empty Ukraine of civilians and at the same time put a very heavy burden on the EU when they are already in a very weak state.

I think Russia is not thrilled with people leaving Kiev for more comfortable locations, although everyone understands why. Many of these people are "waiters" and Russia will need and want every person of good will to rebuild the regions that return to Russia. The suffering is a sad result of war, but Kiev started the war and killed 14,000 to 22,000 civilians in the Donbass, 2014-2021. Russia is exercising it's R2P under UN Charter Article 51 to end the genocide .

The tragedy is that every time the voters in "404" got to vote, they got screwed. Poroshenko and Zelensky both promised peace and, being good Jews, immediately turned to moar war after the elections. It's really too bad that smart weapons can't target just the Nazis.

I am a Canadian expat who was living in Ukraine when the war started in 2022 and for several more months before leaving.

Once Russia takes control and restores order- it is my view that many of those who left Ukraine will return. Not all, but many.

There are several reasons for this that I won't get into here.

It is better for them if they are forced to leave now due to no electricity and also better for the Russians.

The sooner this is ended and the rebuilding can begin without the danger of Ukro/NATO terrorism- the better for both Russians & Ukrainians.

You can't even approach the border in Ukraine, can't get closer than 5 kilometres, and i heard that Moldova is going to catch and return refugees running from the war. So the only options are probably Belarus and Russia, maybe Romania won't give you up to the regime, i wouldn't trust Poland.

With that said, i don't think anyone in Kiev expects a nice meeting with the flowers, a meeting with FAB-3000 is far more likely.

True North on Crocus City Hall & Concert Massacre by Mercenaries posing as Islamists by Scott Ritter 27Mar’24 https://www.scottritterextra.com/p/true-north "By the art of deception thou shalt do war" Mossad motto. "Permit me to issue & control the money of a nation, & I care not who makes its laws!" Thank you Scott, Excellent research by Russian intelligence as well as the capture of 4 terrorists & Cell-phones. For many decades Israel has been training, arming, supplying & financing so-called ISIS. In this case the left-hand (used to wash the anus after defecation) oath taking falsely appealing to Allah (forbidden in Islam), the Massacre of innocents (forbidden in Islam) plus other aspects of the story point to total imposters posing as Islamists.

Our Oligarch fake 'money' (Greek 'mnemosis' = 'memory') controlled world requires that we resolve this huge 7000 year dystopia & restore the original worldwide 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') system of time-based, equivalency accounting on the String-shell value system (eg. Wampum on Turtle-Island, Quipu in S. America & Cowrie in indigenous Celtic-Slavic Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia & all islands) in RELATIONAL ECONOMY. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/c-relational-economy

With Bibi Netanyahu having financed Hamas & arranging for 7thOctober 2023, we can understand his orchestration of the massacre of some 40,000 Gazans for genocide & for expanding Israel's borders. Netanyahu (Milekowsky) as a western Oligarch puppet-leader, needs to diminish Islamic unity & sow dissension at this particular time, so having Russia or China, blame imposter Islamists, leaves Palestinians without the sophisticated Nuclear allies, which they need to avoid total annihilation by Israelis.

TRUTH & RECONCILIATION A most important military approach would be to bring thinking & plans to the surface through Both-Sided, Equal-time, Recorded & Published Dialogues, among all people in family, community, work, institutions, school, government, organization. As people formally dialogue in Both-Sides-Now, Equal-time, Recorded & either Published or confidential dialogues issues are resolved & understanding developed. All humanity's worldwide 'indigenous' ancestors cultivated constant communication formally through this process of COUNCIL PROCESS for creating Understanding, Constructive Agreements, Working Contracts & Conflict Resolution. These Dialectic Rights culturally provided that every person could call for formal dialogues with anyone they’re affected by in words or actions. Modalities include grouping of 'debates' (French 'de' = 'undo' + 'bate' = 'the-fight') within Stakeholder groups to choose Spokespersons. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/1-both-sides-now-equal-time-recorded-dialogues

I wouldn't expect tajiks of Tajikistan to be any good at Arabic. To begin with, they speak Dari, a dialect of Persian and so a non-semitic language, but unlike Iranians and the tajiks of Afghanistan, they don't use the perso-arabic script, but rather the Cyrillic script, so most of them can't even read an Arabic text.

This linguistic point notwithstanding, the evidence suggests that these were just "ordinary" tajik mercs and not true islamists.

All the MSM are asserting that ISIS-K has "claimed responsibility." But even that is plainly false. For example, Politico boldly and unambiguously states as fact that “The Islamic State in Khorasan (ISIS-K) claimed responsibility for Friday’s deadly massacre at a concert hall in Moscow.” https://www.politico.eu/article/islamic-isis-khorasan-concert-hall-attack-russia-terrorist/

Politico doesn't even explicitly state its source. However, following a hyperlink way further down in the article reveals that this supposed claim of ISIS responsibility is sourced to a tweet from an anonymous account called The Khorason Diary (read: CIA), which itself claims that someone else anonymously posted a “pamphlet” somewhere else on the internet. (Comments on the CIA account blocked, natch).

This referenced “pamphlet” itself isn’t quoted or linked by the "Khorasan Diary" front account. Nor does the Twitter account (which, remember, is Politico's sole source for this "fact"), even assert that ISIS has actually claimed responsibility. Rather, the CIA account merely characterizes the pamphlet as a "30 page polemic on the attack," and opines that its “tone” is implying that the Taliban can't control ISIS operations on its territory. It even states that “apart from rhetorical arguments there are no details of the attack in Moscow.” In short, Politico is relying on an anonymous tweet that doesn't even support the claim it is making.

What pathetic crap journalism. Apparently, this "ISIS claimed responsibility" is just a manufactured lie that all the MSM are repeating without evidence.

One point that makes no sense... Islamic militants would not stage an attack during their religious time of atonement Ramadan, on the other hand, is a month of fasting to commemorate the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad according to Islamic belief. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn until sunset, refraining from consuming food, drinking liquids, smoking, and engaging in sinful behavior. The practice of fasting during Ramadan is also one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Doesn't fit the profile.
