I suppose the Fediverse has noticed the addition of a pro-China South China press thingie posting on here. I'm keeping an eye on it and I'm sure those who follow me have noticed me boosting a toot or two of theirs; that's because I found their take of a given situation or other an anomaly of their usual position on things.

How Ukraine became the unlikely home for Isis leaders escaping the caliphate
Ukrainian authorities announced last week they had arrested a top Isis commander in Kiev in a joint operation with the CIA. He appears to be one of many to have made Ukraine their home, writes Oliver Carroll in Kiev

Has anyone found a translation of the declaration of ISIS on the attack in Moscow, or can anyone translate it?

I've been looking a little on the internet, but there seems to be nothing. A copy of the statement on "X" is very short: https://twitter.com/SimNasr/status/1771285574445383846

What interests me in particular is the reasons they give for it.

Ukrainian hackers disrupt transport services in Russian cities

Hackers of the IT Army of Ukraine targeted the Russian government and local systems, disrupting the fare payment system in Moscow and Kazan public transport, the Digital Transformation Ministry said on March 13.

#Cyberattacks have become an increasingly common tool employed by both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war.

The multi-faceted cyberattack reportedly targeted the #Troika fare payment system, used in 38 Russian regions.

The ministry said that as a result, owners of transport cards in #Moscow and #Kazan could not pay for their tickets, top-up travel cards, or pay for parking.

The IT Army of Ukraine, a group of volunteer hackers supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression, said the operation was prepared for nearly a month.

US embassy warns of ‘imminent’ attack in #Moscow 7 Mar, 2024

Diplomats have urged American citizens to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours

The US Embassy in Moscow has warned that “extremists” are plotting attacks in the Russian capital that could happen within the next few days.

“The embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and US citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours,” the diplomatic mission said in a statement on its website in the early hours of Friday local time.

It urged Americans to stay vigilant and “monitor local media for updates.” The embassy did not provide any additional details about the alert.

The Russian authorities have not commented on the notice yet.

The alert comes at a time of heightened tensions between Moscow and Washington. On Thursday, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned American Ambassador Lynne Tracy, demanding that the embassy cut all ties with three US-funded NGOs whose work was recently banned in Russia.

The Foreign Ministry further threatened to expel “any US Embassy employees” who will attempt “to interfere in the domestic affairs of the Russian Federation, including subversive campaigns and misinformation” in the context of the conflict in Ukraine and the upcoming presidential election in Russia.

Statement issued by the meeting of Palestinian factions in Moscow:


In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Palestinian factions gathered in the city of Moscow express their gratitude and appreciation to the Russian leadership for hosting their meetings and for its supportive stance on the Palestinian cause.

Amidst the zionist criminal aggression our people are facing, the factions highlighted the constructive and positive spirit that prevailed during the meeting. They agreed that their meetings would continue in future dialogue rounds to achieve comprehensive national unity that encompasses all Palestinian forces and factions within the framework of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the sole and legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.

The factions affirmed their agreement on the urgent tasks facing the Palestinian people and their united efforts to achieve them, including:

1- Confronting the criminal "israeli" aggression and the genocide war waged against our people in the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and Al-Quds, with the support, backing, and participation of the United States of America.

2- Resisting and stopping the attempts to displace our people from their homeland, Palestine, especially in Gaza Strip or in the West Bank and Al-Quds, and affirming the illegitimacy of settlement and settlement expansion according to the resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly of the United Nations.

3- Working to lift the brutal siege on our people in Gaza Strip and the West Bank and ensuring the delivery of humanitarian, vital, and medical aid without restrictions or conditions.

4- Forcing the occupation army to withdraw from the Gaza Strip, preventing attempts to consolidate its occupation or control over any part of Gaza Strip under the pretext of buffer zones, and adhering to the unity of all Palestinian lands in accordance with the Basic Law.

5- Rejecting any attempts to separate Gaza Strip from the West Bank, including Al-Quds, as part of efforts to deprive the Palestinian people of their right to self-determination and to establish their free, independent, and fully sovereign state on all occupied Palestinian lands with Al-Quds as its capital, in accordance with international resolutions.

6- Supporting and backing the heroic steadfastness of our struggling people and their resistance in Palestine, and their keenness to support our people in Gaza Strip and the West Bank, especially in Al-Quds, and their brave resistance to overcome the wounds and destruction caused by the criminal aggression, to rebuild what the occupation has destroyed, and to support the families of martyrs and the injured, and those who have lost their homes, properties, and livelihoods.

7- Confronting the occupation's conspiracies and its continuous violations against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, its attacks on freedom of worship during the holy month of Ramadan, preventing worshippers from reaching it, and insisting on resisting any harm to Al-Aqsa Mosque, the city of Al-Quds, and its Islamic and Christian sanctities.

8- Fully supporting the the valiant male and female prisoners in the jails who are subjected to various forms of torture and oppression, and the determination to prioritize every possible effort to liberate them from the occupation's captivity.

9- Emphasizing the protection of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) and its vital role in caring for Palestinian refugees until their return, and the implementation of United Nations Resolution 194.

10- The Palestinian factions salute South Africa for its support of the Palestinian people and its fundamental role in bringing a case before the International Court of Justice to hold the "israeli" occupation accountable for the crime of genocide.

Ruskie GIGO

When Russian Parliament gets garbage in, its output is garbage.


Libre Mind - 2024-02-29 20:02:00 GMT

Scott Ritter on the key points from Putin's address to the Russian parliament:"Russia is a nation that has earned its place in the world today. According to Vladimir Putin, the world cannot exist without the Russian nation. And therefore, it's time for the United States, for Europe, for NATO, for all nations of the world to understand that Russia is here to stay. Russia is a part of the global community. And anybody who seeks to change this reality, to achieve the strategic defeat of Russia, is simply entering on a one-way trip to hell", said former US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter.

NYT Confirms Putin’s Accusations

#Zerohedge summarizes the genuinely shocking expose by The #NewYorkTimes concerning 12 #secret #US #military #basis inside #Ukraine near the Russian border that have been there since 2016:

On Sunday T_he New York Times_ published an explosive and very belated full #admission that US #intelligence has not only been instrumental in Ukraine wartime decision-making, but has established and financed high tech command-and-control spy centers, and was doing so long prior to the Feb. 24 Russian invasion of two years ago.

Among the biggest revelations is that the program was established a decade ago and spans three different American presidents. The Times says the #CIA program to modernize Ukraine’s intelligence services has “transformed” the former Soviet state and its capabilities into “Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the #Kremlin today.”

This has included the agency having secretly trained and equipped Ukrainian intelligence officers spanning back to just after the #2014 #Maidan #coup events, as well constructing a network of 12 secret bases along the Russian border—work which began eight years ago. These intelligence bases, from which Russian commanders’ communications can be swept up and Russian spy satellites monitored, are being used launch and track cross-border drone and missile attacks on Russian territory.

This means that with the disclosure of the longtime “closely guarded secret” the world just got a big step closer to #WW3, given it means the CIA is largely responsible for the effectiveness of the recent spate of attacks which have included direct drone hits on key oil refineries and energy infrastructure.

“Without them [the CIA and elite commandoes it’s trained], there would have been no way for us to resist the Russians, or to beat them,” according to Ivan Bakanov, former #head of the #SBU, which is Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency.

A main source of the #NYT revelations—disclosures which might come as no surprise to those never willing to so easily swallow the mainstream ‘official’ narrative of events—is identified as a top intelligence commander named Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy.

Clearly, #Kiev and #Washington now want #world to know of the deep intelligence relationship they tried to conceal for over the past decade. It is perhaps a kind of warning to #Moscow at a moment Ukraine’s forces are in retreat: the US is fighting hand in glove with the Ukrainians. And yet the revelations contained in the NY Times report also confirm what #President #Putin has precisely accused Washington of all along.

The Russians obviously know about these bases since they presumably have had control of them for most of the last two years. So, why is Washington suddenly admitting to them now? Are the neoclowns attempting to establish some basis for arguing that since the #USA has been actively waging #war on #Russia for a long time, more aid and even direct military support for Ukraine is justified?

At some point, the anti-Russian Narrative is going to collapse, as one lie after another is exposed, and it eventually turns out that the Russians were doing nothing but telling the truth about The Empire of Lies and its activities in Ukraine all along.

It also documents how the CIA not only kept #PresidentTrump in the dark with regards to its anti-Russian activities, but consistently undermined him and his policies.

In #1969, at the #Siberian #village of #Rzhavchik in the Soviet Union, a remarkable event unfolded. Deep beneath the surface, a miner named Ivan Karnaukhov discovered an 800 million-year-old #sarcophagus with a #woman inside.

The beauty lying in the sarcophagus soon became known as the Tisul Princess, with Tisul being the name of the district where the Rzhavchik village was located. Eventually, the high-ranking Soviet officials from the district arrived. Accompanying them were KGB agents.

Just six months after the KGB confiscated the sarcophagus, a wave of misfortune swept over the village of Rzhavchik. Tragedy struck relentlessly, beginning with Ivan Karnaukhov, the man who discovered the sarcophagus of the Tissul Princess. His life was cut short in a harrowing accident.

A month after his death, a miner met his demise by drowning. The sole survivor of these ominous events was geologist Vladimir Podreshetnikov, who revealed that the discovery of the Tisul princess was not the only one of its kind. Valery Malevanny, a retired KGB agent, stated that in #1973, additional sarcophagi were uncovered. These #sarcophagi were transported to #Moscow and were estimated to be around 200 million-year-old.

I was just scrolling yesterday through my stared posts in looking for something and I found this - which just seems way too relevant today in light of the #TuckerCarlson interview with #Putin.

Always remember what #peace means for #Russia whenever that #Kremlin idiot says it wants #negotiations. Always remember what #concessions by #Ukraine in exchange for #peace actually means for #TerroRussia. The only #peace which is acceptable for #Putler is the one where Ukraine gives up all its territory. Then #Moscow can start its #ethniccleaning and the erasure of #Ukrainian identity, just like it did with all the people in its empire. And when that happens, other countries are endangered of following suite - #Moldova, #Georgia, #TheBaltics, even #Poland and #Romania.

At this point, you could comfortably say that Russia is the last classical style #colonialempire of Europe. The only way to #EndTheWarInUkraine is to #defeatrussia.

To those who thinks that #Ukraine should negotiate peace with #Russia, then Medvedev has just removed any reason to do so:https://twitter.com/MedvedevRussiaE/status/1691545649299304448
