The fire has just started. Thanks for getting this information out so quickly,Karen.

False Flag, Black Swan, whatever we call it Russia has the ball now. We can expect a harsh response. And the USA is very vulnerable right now. Border wide open, discontent within the right and the left,

We should be prepared to take a big hit soon.

As for the civlians that died, my regards and regrets are with them...

Yes, casualties of war. None deserve it, or could expect it, especially when you don't live in a traditional violence or war zone. But it is the state of the world for now. Until we win.

But you can likely expect to see it get much worse first.

You put this together quickly. I had seen the RT info on a clip from Indian tv.

I guessed the perpetrators might be grabbed quickly. When the Chechnyans did this years ago the Russians were fairly successful at grabbing them. They’re also successful at extracting information. I imagine they have the whole story by now. It’s just a matter of dealing with the players.

I would expect the situation on the battlefield to ramp up now. Scores will need to be settled. I see new Fab bombs were shown the other day. I imagine even larger ones will be designed now. If I was a young Ukrainian facing conscription now I’d be looking for a way out. I feel the body count is going to escalate.

Thanks for putting this together so quickly. Good info.

Well, partly it was easy to do because nothing else but the outcome is absolutely settled. The Tajiks covering for these captured men and associates is a twist that needs an explanation. Not knowing anything at all about their government or country is a bar to me "knowing" what happened.

While I don't doubt that Russia didn't orchestrate this, I do suspect they may have had a "standby" crew ready to take on the roles of perpetrators so they could seize the narrative away from the US. It's what I would do, anyway.

And there are a few in random places that are of the opinion that this was a genuine false "false flag". I haven't made any determination on that yet because it doesn't matter relative to the fact that we are in a world war. Just like in 2001, it didn't matter that real planes didn't hit the towers, Pentagon, and Pennsylvania field. We were in the same war then regardless.

DK whether there will be further revelations or if this goes down a Wagner slide like in August (7 months ago today!). We'll follow developing updates but one thing won't change - the outcome. This totally justifies pounding Ukraine into nothing left. And the rumors of European troops entering there started yesterday. Like clockwork.

I have a hard time believing the false flag angle. We’ll see how many of these foreign fighters want to jump in. I’ve seen some interviews with some who are leaving. This isn’t playing soldier like Afghanistan, or even Iraq.

If it is one it's a pretty good one. But there's not a lot of.up close video because everyone was.in the concert hall then or running. Usually it's the amateur video that trips them up. But my working theory is that the Russians swooped in arrested them still on site and sent the decoy Tajiks on their way. There is zero evidence those killers on the videos shown were the men they ultimately arrested. Very plausible, not highly detectable, and sizes the narrative very effectively. The alternative is that maybe it was supposed to go down last week and they intercepted the attack, squashed any news, and staged this one. Not as likely as.the above. But either way I suspect their Intel from either Ukraine or Syria is pretty good.

Thank you for compiling this. We are in such a bubble in the US.

You're welcome! I like to lay out the information first and foremost. If I have a mindset on interpretation I'll make it but usually the case your own instinct makes is as good or better. It does take time to compile it all but if I can help save everyone that reads it even an hour per article, it's a great trade!

The devil really isn't in the details as much as it is the big picture. Which is harder to see in the snippet and sound bite world we occupy. But much deeper reporting is so agenda laden it's a chore to wade through. This style emerged from treading those options for nearly a year.

Let me know anytime you have something on your mind! I love comments. ❤

Wonderfully, if one chooses, it's easy to pop a bubble. Unfortunately, bubblegum bubbles make a mess on one's face. That's Truth.

I have made several comments in the past on this and other forums to the effect that the average American is a total idiot, oblivious to not only his/ her own surroundings, but to that of orher countries too.

This attack on Crocus City and the whole "modus operandi" surrounding it, points to Idiotic American involvement, and their inability to comprehend the fact that the rest of the world has become a lot smarter than America is, and have not only cottoned onto the same playbook being repeatedly used, with no new or additional plays.

America, to be read as politically and militarily, including the FBI and CIA, have gotten away with so many crimes over the years, and have gotten to the point where they think they are untouchable, and therefore failed to take cognisance of the astuteness of the FSB, Russian military intelligence and Special Forces, and account for the swift actions of these Russian institutions, which lead to the prompt capture of the suspects and several of their accomplices.

The US has gotten away by creating a stream of bluster, false accusations, the creation of numerous false flags and attempts at pre-emptive plausible deniability, which might have worked in the past, but this time it is different, they, the US kindergarten, is up against Professionals.

The capture of the suspects and some if their accomplices has already, no doubt exposed much of the organisation in regard to the attack, and although those captured might not know all of the details, they will have left a trail of crumbs, to others, from whom these Russian institutions will eventually extract all of the information needed to construct a complete picture of involvement of all parties concerned.

I wish all of the Russian intelligence services and forces a speedy and successful completion of their task, to enable President Putin and his team to make sound decisions as to how and to whom punishment must be meted out to, in full measure.

I agree completely with that assessment on the typical American and the government lackies who execute crimes worldwide every hour of every day. However, my work as a composite theorizes that NGOs actually are the brains and bodily systems, while those are the hands and faces you see.

Also, this war is for the most part not one of countries/alliances against others except as a necessity of invention. The war is totally on human consciousness. All these scenes have the same underlying purpose - to induce us to capitulate to their "superior force" narrative. Only we can see through them with the proper lenses and resist that pressure.

If "America" was ever an experiment it was of minute duration. It's entire history has been in the service of getting the world here regardless of any intial fervent intent, so that's semantics. I am unfortunately not a real student of world history so I haven't made similar judgments on most other countries and their paths but nothing tells my gut that several of them have been totally unique in that aspect.

This presence that makes the rules based order (visible in the hands of America now, but it had others before) is not a human one. That's why we humans have such a hard time with a mental construct for it. How can it be like this? So cold, so cruel? It is completely because it is separate and "other". So just as if it were some species of animal, in order to win, we have to understand our enemy. Its strengths (parasitical, logical, and cunning) and weaknesses (limited/repetitive thinking, poor at communication, zero empathy) give us the pathways to avoid defeat and then ultimately win. Art of War. First lesson - know yourself. Second - know your enemy.

Most of my work is really about how we do that. I can't really speak on an individual level about paths to know yourself. But I have seen this enemy for who they are and they are eminently beatable. Flawed in those basic ways that give us the paths to follow in order to sneak up on them from behind. And create a deadly (for them) force. It's 100% mental; not physical. It's to see through all those machinations and not see borders and boundaries. But alien (theatrics) and human (empathy).

It's a tall order due to our inclination from mass programming to view this world they created as "normal" but "flawed" so it can be "fixed". I don't believe any of those characterizations anymore. Instead of normal it's occupied by powers and principalities. Instead of merely flawed it's a (mental/emotional) prison. It can't be fixed, but it can be reclaimed by killing or removing (((them))) from the seats of power. But the first step of all is to SEE them.

These kinds of events are prime viewing windows. In order to defeat any enemy you have to be able to SEE how/what they think. It's really when they are most vulnerable. But they count on us to be consumed by our natural emotions and not see them for who/what they are. They are a cold cruel enemy. If we can't "become" like them very temporarily for the purpose of propagating our species and reclaiming our birthright we might seem to not win. Awakening is a process. But every human that does is a bigger assurance that we can shatter the "spell" they have in place controlling the rest. The "Matrix" is an alien spell not a machine. The only defense is to recognize it and reject it in critical mass. That may be assisted by a natural phenomenon in the future; they certainly appear to be on a clock of some kind. It's making them even more insane than usual. But even if not, the Awakening alone can work. Just in a higher mass.

Anyway, that's the lens my work is about. Know your enemy, how they think, react, what their triggers are. It can come across as unfeeling or even crazy because that's who they are. But it's the lens they have to be viewed through for a thorough examination. And an effective plan for their extermination.

One of your most valuable posts!

The USA could have warned Russia so that they could deflect blame afterwards.

It's absurd that a well-planned attack resulted in a one obvious car with all the attackers going to Ukraine. That's either damn suspicious, or the attackers discarded their getaway routes because they were under pressure, and decided a stand together was more guns than one.

Very "suspicious". Almost like it was planned, or hijacked. A seminal event for cranking the heat up regardless. Seeing the enemy is the real war. Borders aren't them. It's "powers and principalities". But being presented as this 🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 event to push this war narrative along. We went for 20+ years without recognizing all the post 9/11 mirrored events (not to mention all the prior ones going back to God knows when). But here we have 10/7/23 and now 3/22/24 in rapid succession. These will ultimately light the fire under the WWIII narrative. The Niger-Iran story brings in the nuclear fire. The Obama trips bring in the justification (Uranium One and Iran payoff). All the triggering elements are in place. Who, when, natural (if there is such a thing!) or contrived, ceases to really matter in the face of existential. We took another huge leap toward the end zone. That's the take away. It's Saturday and the Monday morning quarterbacking can wait until after Sunday's games.

That’s the part that confused me at the start. Isis doesn’t get captured…they die at the scene. These people probably realize already they should have done that too.

I think all the ISIS at the scene videos, at least that I have seen, are probably a) fake, or b) a takedown from two weeks ago that was never publicized so the plan could be coopted. Wearing short sleeved shirts and carrying different guns than the Tajiks. Plus a different entrance, maybe even different facility.

This may go down as the biggest punk of the CIA ever. If it was staged, which is always a possibility in events of this level of political magnitude, it was very, very good. Excellent even.

There's a very strange lack of any apparent conversation between the Kremlin and Tajik government or legal entities. By now if these perps were independent contractor types, the Tajik authorities would be cooperating. It seems they're all pleading guilty (which is quite common for crisis actors playing roles). They could never have made it out of the country in that manner. It reminds me of nothing so much as the Wagner revolt drive to Moscow ending just short of reaching it.

€5000 is what a scrub amateur might get for breaking a leg or for a single kneecap shot. This entire narrative is defective start to finish.
