https://x.com/mikenov/status/2087903259075715394 Here is a breakdown of the covert operation, the intelligence behind it, and the ensuing fallout: The Secret Evacuation On July 8, 2026, following a NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, President Donald Trump was the subject of an extraordinary covert operation due to a reported Iranian assassination threat. The Threat: US intelligence, acting on a tip from Israel, received reports indicating an Iranian plot to use a shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile to shoot down Trump's plane. The Evacuation: In front of television cameras, Trump initially boarded his legacy blue-and-white Boeing 747 (Air Force One). However, minutes later, he was secretly shuttled out the opposite side of the aircraft using a hydraulic airport catering truck. He was then transferred to a smaller military jet, an Air Force C-32A, which flew him to RAF Mildenhall in the UK under the call sign "Reach 18". The Decoy Plane While the President flew safely on the military jet, the older Air Force One took off as a decoy. Unwitting Passengers: Over 100 people remained on the decoy flight, including White House staff, journalists, and senior Cabinet members like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Maintaining the Ruse: Journalists and staff on board were instructed to keep their window shades lowered for the duration of the flight. When the planes arrived in the UK, Trump was photographed disembarking from the legacy Air Force One, leading the press pool to believe he had been with them the entire time. Trump's Acknowledgment: Trump later confirmed the switch, stating he followed the Secret Service's instructions, though he claimed the smaller plane he secretly flew on was actually "at greater risk" because he believed it would be the more likely target. CIA Opinion on the Intelligence The intelligence that triggered this drastic operation was heavily scrutinized within the US government. Skepticism: According to reports, CIA analysts doubted the credibility of the Israeli intelligence regarding the Iranian threat, viewing it as "low confidence". Motivations Questioned: One former official suggested the incident fit a pattern of Israeli intelligence designed "as much to shape presidential decision-making as to inform it". Secret Service Stance: Despite the CIA's skepticism, the US Secret Service chose to execute the evacuation. Having already experienced multiple near misses with the president, officials stated that "they're not taking any chances". Reactions from Columnists and the Public The revelation of the deception operation sparked immediate global backlash and debate regarding presidential security and public trust.

Война на Украине: обновление от августа 2026 года. https://share.gemini.google/Iuqk2Ontqz4J Создано с помощью версии 3.1 Pro 12 августа 2026 г. в 06:58 Опубликовано 12 августа 2026 г. в 06:59 утра. Россия — Украина: последние новости Ниже приведён обзор наиболее значимых событий в российско-украинской войне по состоянию на середину августа 2026 года. Территориальный контроль в Украине, август 2026 г., сгенерировано искусственным интеллектом. Территориальный контроль в Украине, август 2026 года. Источник: Russia Matters. 1. Украина расширяет кампанию по нанесению глубоких ударов беспилотниками. Украина значительно активизировала удары беспилотников большой дальности вглубь российской территории, стремясь нарушить военную логистику и перенести экономические реалии войны на российский тыл. Удары по нефтеперерабатывающим заводам: 10 августа украинский беспилотник нанес удар по нефтеперерабатывающему заводу в Нижнекамске, крупном промышленно развитом городе в Республике Татарстан. В результате удара погибли 13 человек и около 40 получили ранения, что стало одним из самых смертоносных нападений на территории России с начала войны. Экономические цели: Украинские силы также обстреляли склады, принадлежащие Wildberries, крупнейшей российской компании электронной коммерции, в Московской области. Военно-морская логистика: Силы беспилотных систем Украины наносят удары по судам российского теневого флота и нефтяным танкерам в Черном и Азовском морях, пытаясь парализовать морскую торговлю и логистику. 2. Российские бомбардировки и эскалация со стороны Северной Кореи Россия продолжает интенсивно бомбардировать украинские города и энергетическую инфраструктуру, используя пробелы в украинской системе ПВО по мере истощения запасов истребителей. Удары по Киеву и Одессе: В последние недели столичный регион подвергся многочисленным смертоносным ракетным и беспилотным обстрелам, в результате которых погибли десятки мирных жителей. Портовая инфраструктура Одессы также стала мишенью, и президент Владимир Зеленский предупредил о сохраняющейся угрозе глобальной продовольственной безопасности. Северокорейские ракеты: Украинская военная разведка сообщает о развертывании северокорейского ракетного подразделения на западе России. По словам официальных лиц, подразделение может быть оснащено до 120 баллистическими ракетами и пусковыми установками для немедленного применения против украинских целей. 3. Геополитические события и санкции На дипломатическом фронте продолжаются усилия по изоляции российской экономики, а также происходят изменения в региональных альянсах. Санкции США: Сенат США недавно принял масштабный законопроект о санкциях в энергетическом секторе, предусматривающий агрессивные экономические меры, включая 100-процентную пошлину на импорт российской нефти и газа. Зеленский в Сербии: В рамках важного дипломатического шага президент Зеленский совершил свой первый официальный визит в Сербию — страну, которая традиционно поддерживает тесные связи с Москвой. Обсуждения были сосредоточены на экономическом сотрудничестве, восстановлении украинских городов и стремлениях Сербии к членству в ЕС. Обеспокоенность по поводу воздушного пространства НАТО: Инциденты с участием беспилотников, начиненных взрывчаткой, которые проникают на территорию стран НАТО, включая Германию и Болгарию, или обнаруживаются там, вызвали тревогу по поводу конфликта с соседними европейскими государствами.

https://x.com/mikenov/status/2087517698741735881 Michael Novakhov @mikenov #Putin #Hubris #Ukraine Putin's Hubris and Ukraine War https://share.gemini.google/PLQoM0SwqGKU The concept of "hubris" is central to understanding Vladimir Putin’s decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. From a geopolitical and strategic perspective, this hubris manifested not just in the decision to invade, but in the catastrophic intelligence failures and imperial assumptions that underpinned the entire military operation. Here is a breakdown of how Russian hubris shaped the origins and reality of the Ukraine war. The Intelligence Failure: Tactical Hubris The initial invasion plan was predicated on a swift, multi-axis decapitation strike aimed at capturing Kyiv within days. This strategy relied on deeply flawed intelligence assessments, largely attributed to the FSB's Fifth Service, which assured the Kremlin that the Ukrainian government would collapse and that Russian troops would be welcomed as liberators. This institutional hubris led to a failure in basic military tradecraft: Logistics: Russian forces advanced without adequate supply lines, assuming they would not be in the field long enough to need them. Operational Security (OPSEC): Troops were sent into combat with unencrypted comms and parade uniforms packed in their vehicles, entirely unprepared for a protracted fight. Underestimating the Adversary: Moscow fundamentally underestimated the resolve of Ukrainian leadership, the agility of their military, and the rapid integration of open-source intelligence (OSINT) and commercial drone technology into Ukrainian defensive operations. Imperial Nostalgia: Strategic Hubris Putin's war is heavily driven by a historical and cultural hubris. In his essays and speeches leading up to the war, Putin consistently denied the existence of a distinct Ukrainian national identity, framing Ukraine merely as an artificial construct and an inalienable part of a "Greater Russia." This imperial mindset blinded Russian leadership to the reality on the ground: a modern, sovereign Ukraine that had spent the years since the 2014 annexation of Crimea building a cohesive national identity and a NATO-trained, battle-hardened military. By denying the agency of the Ukrainian people, Moscow miscalculated the fierce resistance that would define the conflict. The Geopolitical Reality Check The gap between Russian expectations and the reality of the war has fundamentally reshaped the global security landscape. The Expectation (Hubris)The Reality (Outcome)Swift regime changeA grinding, multi-year war of attrition requiring mass mobilization.Fracturing the WestA reinvigorated, expanded NATO alliance (with the accession of Finland and Sweden).Military supremacyExposure of deep systemic rot within the Russian armed forces, leading to a reliance on asymmetric drone warfare, artillery barrages, and private military companies.Economic resilienceSevere diplomatic isolation and deep reliance on secondary partners like Iran and North Korea for munitions and technology. The Academic Counter-Narrative: "Western Hubris" While Putin's hubris was the immediate catalyst for the invasion, geopolitical analysts and historians also debate the role of Western actions leading up to the conflict. In books like Hubris: The Origins of Russia’s War Against Ukraine by Jonathan Haslam, the argument is made that post-Cold War Western triumphalism also played a crucial role. Haslam and similar realist thinkers argue that a history of unilateral actions by the United States and the continuous eastward expansion of NATO ignored clear warnings from Moscow, deeply antagonizing a humiliated, post-Soviet Russia. In this view, while the invasion is entirely Russia's responsibility, Western diplomatic arrogance created the volatile geopolitical conditions that Putin eventually ignited. - Putin, his Ukraine war, and his Russian hubris - AI Mode ...

Casualties and Targets: The strike hit a hostel and the Taneco oil refinery, killing at least 13 people (including several foreign nationals) and injuring 78 others. Strategic Goal: This is part of a sustained Ukrainian campaign to degrade Russia's oil export industry and military logistics, which has reportedly knocked out up to 40% of Russia's refining capacity. Ukrainian drones have also recently targeted warehouses belonging to Wildberries (Russia's largest online retailer) and facilities in western Siberia.

Here is a briefing on the major news headlines for today, August 11, 2026: U.S. Politics & Health Vaccine Policy Overhaul: President Trump signed an executive order attempting to override the CDC's childhood vaccination schedule. The administration plans to narrow the routine recommendation from 17 down to 11 diseases, pushing several shots—including COVID-19, influenza, and hepatitis A and B—into a "shared clinical decision-making" category. The move has drawn criticism from pediatric organizations. Fauci Held in Contempt: A Senate committee voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 100 times during a hearing on the COVID-19 pandemic. The referral now goes to the Justice Department, though its passage in the full Senate remains unlikely. Global Geopolitics Middle East Tensions: Iran has installed new military chiefs, with experts warning the regime is signaling a "prolonged confrontation." Concurrently, global oil prices climbed 5% amid ongoing uncertainty over whether an agreement can be reached to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to international shipping. Gaza Peace Plan Rejected: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly rejected a Trump-backed Gaza plan that called for Hamas disarmament and an Israeli withdrawal. Russian Elections: Russia's Supreme Court barred Yabloko, the country's last remaining liberal-leaning, anti-war party, from participating in parliamentary elections next month.

Epstein files and Trump https://gemini.google.com/share/520bda4c204b As of early February 2026, the relationship between Donald Trump and the Jeffrey Epstein files has entered a major new phase following the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act in late 2025. The situation is currently defined by a massive document release, intense political debate over redactions, and new details regarding Trump's inner circle. The Epstein Files Transparency Act (2025) In a rare moment of bipartisan unity, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act in November 2025. President Trump signed the bill on November 19, 2025, which legally mandated the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release all investigative files related to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump's Reversal: Initially, Trump dismissed the push for the files as a "Democrat hoax" and "pretty boring stuff." However, facing a near-unanimous House vote, he shifted his stance, urging Republicans to support the release and claiming he had "nothing to hide." The "Final" Release: On January 30, 2026, the DOJ released its largest tranche to date—over 3 million pages, 180,000 images, and 2,000 videos. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche (a former personal lawyer for Trump) stated this fulfilled the government’s legal obligations. Key Findings Regarding Donald Trump While the millions of pages have not produced evidence of criminal activity by Trump, they have shed more light on his past social ties: Frequent Mentions: Trump’s name appears over 3,000 times in the latest documents. Most references are in news articles Epstein collected, correspondence between other parties, or unverified tips sent to the FBI. Unverified Allegations: The files include previously unsealed FBI tips and "sensationalist" claims made shortly before the 2020 election. The DOJ has explicitly defended Trump against these, labeling them "unfounded and false." Specific Incidents: One document contains an allegation that Epstein introduced a 14-year-old girl to Trump at Mar-a-Lago in the early 2000s, though no charges or corroborating evidence of misconduct were provided. Trump’s Response: On February 1, 2026, Trump told reporters that the files actually "absolve" him and prove the claims against him were a "radical left" fabrication. Inner Circle & Wider Connections The 2026 release has been notable for revealing that members of Trump's circle remained in contact with Epstein longer than previously known: Steve Bannon: The files show text and email exchanges between Bannon and Epstein as late as 2019, including a discussion about Epstein's private plane. Elon Musk: Emails from 2012 show Musk inquiring about "wild parties" on Epstein's island. Musk has defended these on X, stating Epstein "hounded" him and that the release is an attempt to "smear" him. Howard Lutnick: The Commerce Secretary also appears in the files, though his representatives state his interactions were limited and social. Current Controversies Redaction Failures: The DOJ faced a massive backlash after it was discovered that "blacked-out" text could be revealed by simply copying and pasting it. This accidentally exposed the identities of dozens of victims, leading to a legal battle between survivors' attorneys and the administration. "Cover-Up" Claims: Democrats, led by Representative Jamie Raskin, have accused the Trump administration of a "full-blown cover-up," arguing that only half of the 6 million responsive documents have actually been released.

Ukraine corruption scandal: Is Putin's GRU behind it? https://thenewsandtimes.blogspot.com/2025/12/ukraine-corruption-scandal-is-putins.html The recent significant corruption scandal in Ukraine involving the state nuclear energy company Energoatom is being investigated by Ukrainian anti-corruption bodies, and while it is being exploited by Russian propaganda, there is no direct evidence that the current scheme was orchestrated by Putin's GRU (Russia's military intelligence agency). However, the GRU has a documented history of coordinating past disinformation campaigns and leveraging corrupt Ukrainian officials for its own purposes. Russian Interference in Past Ukrainian Corruption Narratives In previous years, Russian military intelligence was directly involved in spreading false allegations and amplifying existing corruption narratives to achieve its strategic goals, which included worsening U.S.–Ukrainian relations and undermining Western support for Ukraine. Key facts regarding past Russian involvement: GRU Coordination: A network involving GRU lieutenants coordinated the spread of falsehoods through specific Ukrainian lawmakers and businessmen. Andrii Derkach: This pro-Kremlin former Ukrainian lawmaker, who recently fled to Russia and became a Russian senator, has been accused by Ukraine's SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) of receiving millions of dollars per month from the GRU to create security companies that would assist the 2022 Russian invasion forces. Derkach was also a central figure in spreading the Biden-Ukraine conspiracy theory, a campaign linked to Russian intelligence efforts to interfere with U.S. politics. Weaponized Corruption: Analysts at the Atlantic Council and other sources note that Putin consistently uses "weaponized corruption" tactics to weaken Ukraine and Europe from within. Current Scandal vs. Russian Involvement The current, separate $100 million Energoatom scandal involves a scheme to misappropriate funds through inflated contracts. Investigation by Independent Bodies: The current investigation is being handled by Ukraine's independent anti-corruption bodies, specifically the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO), which were designed to operate independently of the President. Domestic Focus: The focus of the current domestic investigation is on Ukrainian nationals, including high-level officials and business partners close to President Zelenskyy's circle. Exploitation by Russia: While the scandal is a serious domestic issue, Russian state media and propaganda are actively using it to portray Ukraine's government as illegitimate and corrupt to their own advantage. In summary, while Russia's GRU has a proven track record of orchestrating past disinformation and corruption schemes in Ukraine for strategic gain, the current large-scale Energoatom scandal appears to be an internal Ukrainian matter that is being exploited by the Kremlin for propaganda purposes.

Bu hərəkətlər rəsmi olaraq hökumətin hakimiyyəti ələ keçirmək planında ittiham etdiyi keçmiş qüdrətli Baş Qərargah rəisi Ramiz Mehdiyevə aid edilən “çevriliş cəhdi” ilə bağlı istintaqla əlaqələndirilir. Son hadisələrin xülasəsi (noyabr 2025) 1. Qiymətləndirmələr: Repressiyanın hazırkı dalğası Beynəlxalq təşkilatları və insan haqlarını pozan vəziyyəti “a” kimi təsvir edir. 2024-cü il və 2025-ci ilin sonları boyu fundamental azadlıqların zəifləməsi”. Müxalifətin hədəfi: 2025-ci il noyabrın 29-da Əli Kərimlinin evinə basqın, qalan azsaylı mütəşəkkil müxalifət qüvvələrindən biri olan AXCP-nin parçalanması üçün daha geniş kampaniyanın bir hissəsidir. Hakimiyyət iddia edir ki, Kərimli hökuməti sabitliyi pozmaq üçün Ramiz Mehdiyev tərəfindən “maliyyələşdirilir”. Geniş yayılmış həbslər: Siyasi liderlərdən başqa, repressiyalar müstəqil media və vətəndaş cəmiyyətini hədəf alıb. Qubad İbadoğlu (iqtisadçı), Tofiq Yaqublu (siyasətçi), Abzas Media və Toplum TV-nin jurnalistləri (məsələn, Sevinc Vaqifqızı, Ülvi Həsənli) kimi tanınmış şəxslər xarici valyuta qaçaqmalçılığı və ya vergidən yayınma kimi siyasi motivli hesab edilən ittihamlarla hələ də həbsdədirlər. Nəzarət Konteksti: Bu intensivləşmə 2024-cü ilin fevralında keçirilmiş prezident seçkiləri ilə üst-üstə düşdü - müşahidəçilər həqiqi rəqabətin olmadığını qeyd etdilər - və 2024-cü ilin noyabrında Bakıda COP29 iqlim sammitinə ev sahibliyi etdi. 2. Təhlil: "Uydurma Sahələr" və Mehdiyev Davası "Fabrika"nın hekayəsi iki əsas funksiyaya xidmət etdi: (“köhnə qvardiya”) və xarici müxalifətin legitimləşdirilməsi. “Ramiz Mehdiyev çevrilişi” hekayəsi: 2025-ci ilin oktyabrında hakimiyyət 87 yaşlı Ramiz Mehdiyevi dövlətə xəyanətdə və hakimiyyəti ələ keçirməyə cəhddə ittiham edərək həbs etdi. Hökumətin hekayəsi iddia edir ki, Mehdiyev prezident İlham Əliyevin yerinə “Müvəqqəti Dövlət Şurası” yaradılmasını təklif edib və Rusiyadan dəstək istəyib. “Rusiya Əlaqəsi”: Hökumətyönlü KİV-lər yazır ki, Rusiya prezidenti Vladimir Putin 2025-ci ilin oktyabrında Düşənbədə keçirdiyi görüş zamanı bu sui-qəsd barədə Əliyevi şəxsən məlumatlandırıb. eyni zamanda elita üçün "sadiqlik testi" siqnalı verir. Strateji Faydalılıq: Ənənəvi müxalifəti (Kərimli) iblisləşdirilmiş “köhnə qvardiya”ya (Mehdiyev) bağlamaqla rejim hər ikisini əzmək üçün vahid bəhanə yaradır.Ekspertlər Əliyevlər ailəsinə onilliklər ərzində xidmət etmiş 87 yaşlı sadiq şəxs Mehdiyevə qarşı ittihamları ağlasığmaz hesab edir və onların hakimiyyətin daha gənc, daha sadiq kadrlara ötürülməsini yekunlaşdırmaq üçün bir vasitə olduğunu düşünürlər. Əvvəlki rəvayətlər: Bu, hökumətin ciddi daxili nəzarətə haqq qazandırmaq üçün “terrorçuluğun maliyyələşdirilməsi” və ya “qanunsuz silahlı birləşmələr” (çox vaxt Ermənistan və ya İranla əlaqəli) iddia etdiyi tarixi nümunəyə uyğun gəlir. 3. Proqnozlar: Gələcəyə Baxış Gücün konsolidasiyası: “Köhnə qvardiya”nın (Mehdiyev dövrünün məmurları) təmizlənməsi, çox güman ki, administrasiya yalnız İlham Əliyevə və Birinci vitse-prezident Mehriban Əliyevaya sadiq fiqurlar ətrafında tamamilə yenidən formalaşana qədər davam edəcək. Mütəşəkkil müxalifətin kökünün kəsilməsi: AXCP-nin “çevriliş planı” ilə əlaqəsi hökumətin ölkədə mütəşəkkil siyasi müxalifətə son qoyaraq partiyanı qadağan etmək və ya onun rəhbərliyini həmişəlik həbs etmək üçün hərəkətə keçə biləcəyini deməyə əsas verir. “Təhlükəsiz Sabitlik”: Neft sərvətləri və təhlükəsizlik aparatlarına nəzarət sayəsində rejim qısa müddətdə təhlükəsiz görünsə də, ekspertlər onun uzunmüddətli sabitliyini “qeyri-qeyri” kimi qiymətləndirirlər.

These actions are officially linked to an investigation into an alleged "coup attempt" attributed to Ramiz Mehdiyev, the former powerful Chief of Staff, whom the government accuses of plotting to seize power.Summary of Recent Developments (November 2025) 1. Assessments: The Current Wave of Repression International organizations and human rights bodies describe the situation as a "vicious crackdown" and a "sharp decline" in fundamental freedoms, intensifying throughout 2024 and late 2025. Targeting the Opposition: The raid on Ali Karimli's home on November 29, 2025, is part of a broader campaign to dismantle the Popular Front Party (APFP), one of the few remaining organized opposition forces. Authorities allege Karimli was being "financed" by Ramiz Mehdiyev to destabilize the government. Widespread Arrests: Beyond political leaders, the crackdown has targeted independent media and civil society. Prominent figures such as Gubad Ibadoghlu (economist), Tofig Yagublu (politician), and journalists from Abzas Media and Toplum TV (e.g., Sevinj Vagifgizi, Ulvi Hasanli) remain in detention on charges widely viewed as politically motivated, such as smuggling foreign currency or tax evasion. Context of Control: This intensification coincided with the February 2024 presidential election—which monitors noted lacked genuine competition—and the hosting of the COP29 climate summit in Baku in November 2024. 2. Analysis: The "Fabricated Plots" & The Mehdiyev Case The narrative of "fabricated plots" serves two primary functions: purging internal rivals ("old guard") and delegitimizing external opposition. The "Ramiz Mehdiyev Coup" Narrative: In October 2025, authorities arrested Ramiz Mehdiyev, 87, charging him with treason and attempting to seize power. The government's narrative claims Mehdiyev proposed a "Provisional State Council" to replace President Ilham Aliyev and sought support from Russia.The "Russian Connection": Pro-government media reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally informed Aliyev of this plot during a meeting in Dushanbe in October 2025. Analysts suggest this narrative conveniently frames the purge of Mehdiyev's network as a defense of national sovereignty while simultaneously signaling a "loyalty test" for the elite. Strategic Utility: By linking the traditional opposition (Karimli) to the demonized "old guard" (Mehdiyev), the regime creates a unified pretext to crush both. Experts view the charges against Mehdiyev—an 87-year-old loyalist who served the Aliyev family for decades—as implausible, suggesting they are a tool to finalize the transfer of power to a younger, more loyal cadre. Previous Narratives: This fits a historical pattern where the government alleges "terrorist financing" or "illegal armed formations" (often linked to Armenia or Iran) to justify strict domestic control. 3. Predictions: Future Outlook Consolidation of Power: The purge of the "old guard" (Mehdiyev era officials) is likely to continue until the administration is entirely reshaped around figures solely loyal to Ilham Aliyev and the First Vice President, Mehriban Aliyeva.

Коррупционный скандал на Украине https://currentnewschannels.blogspot.com/2025/11/news-audio-reports-112825.html Коррупционный скандал на Украине и продолжающаяся спорная международная дипломатия в отношении предлагаемого мирного плана, поддерживаемого США. Главные новости из Украины включают отставку высокопоставленного помощника президента на фоне значительных Главные заголовки (28 ноября 2025 г.) Политические потрясения и коррупционный скандал Помощник Зеленского уходит в отставку: Андрей Ермак, влиятельный руководитель аппарата президента Владимира Зеленского и ключевой переговорщик по миру, подал в отставку после того, как агенты по борьбе с коррупцией провели обыск в его доме. Более широкое расследование: Обыск является частью крупнейшего за последние годы коррупционного скандала в Украине, сосредоточенного на предполагаемой схеме откатов на 100 миллионов долларов в государственной компании по атомной энергии «Энергоатом». Международная реакция: Европейские официальные лица приветствовали действия антикоррупционных агентств как признак институциональной силы, хотя аналитики предполагают, что для Киева сейчас непростое время, поскольку оно может быть использовано критиками США в отношении помощи Украине. Мирный план: дипломатия и тупик. Предложение, поддержанное США: Поддерживаемый США план из 28 пунктов по прекращению войны вызвал бурные дебаты. Украина и США заявили о прогрессе в переговорах, при этом некоторые официальные лица заявили, что остались лишь «незначительные детали». Территориальные споры: ключевым камнем преткновения является вопрос о территории. Сообщается, что план может включать в себя передачу части оккупированных территорий России, что Украина категорически отвергает, заявляя, что её земли не продаются. Позиция Путина: Президент России Владимир Путин заявил, что план США может стать «основой» для будущих соглашений, но повторил, что война прекратится только после вывода украинских войск с территорий, которые Россия, по её утверждениям, аннексировала. Посланник в Москве: Специальный посланник США Стив Виткофф должен отправиться в Москву на следующей неделе для дальнейших переговоров с российскими официальными лицами. Европейские опасения: Европейские лидеры, многие из которых, как сообщается, были исключены из первоначальных переговоров с США, с осторожностью относятся к плану, опасаясь, что он может «вознаградить агрессора» и создать «невыгодную сделку» для Украины. Российские атаки на земле: Россия начала «массированную» ночную атаку с использованием беспилотников и ракет, что привело к разрушениям, перебоям в электроснабжении и гибели нескольких мирных жителей. Украинские удары: Украинские военные подтвердили, что в ходе ночной операции нанесли удар по российскому нефтеперерабатывающему заводу и аэродрому в оккупированном Россией Крыму.

Trump and Insanity https://thenewsandtimes.blogspot.com/2025/10/trump-and-insanity.html Discussions surrounding the mental state of Donald Trump have been a prominent feature of his political career, encompassing a range of perspectives from mental health professionals, political commentators, and the public.1 While the term "insanity" is a legal and social concept rather than a clinical diagnosis, concerns about Trump's fitness for office have been articulated through various psychological and neurological frameworks.

A Symbol of Public Fury: Ramming cars into the FBI or the CIA gates https://thenewsandtimes.blogspot.com/2025/09/a-symbol-of-public-fury-ramming-cars.html A Symbol of Public Fury Ramming cars into the FBI or the CIA gates: symbolism and emotions of the Vox Populi AI Overview The emotion from those who support or are drawn to such attacks is typically anger, driven by a perception of injustice, rather than fear. Ramming a vehicle into the gates of the FBI or CIA is a symbolically powerful act intended to express intense anti-government sentiment. Symbolism of the attack: Attacking the state's authority: These attacks target federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies, which represent the power, security, and integrity of the United States government. Breaching their physical defenses, such as a security gate, symbolizes an assault on the government's authority and a rejection of its legitimacy. Emblematic target: An attack against the FBI or CIA is symbolic precisely because of the agencies' powerful public image. For those who view the government as an overreaching and corrupt entity, these agencies are seen as prime instruments of state oppression. Striking at them is a direct assault on the perceived source of that power. Act of defiance: A car ramming can be an act of defiant resistance for an individual who feels powerless against a monolithic government system. It is a way to make a bold, public statement with an easily acquired, everyday object turned into a weapon. Targeting an "out-group": For extremists, the act is a form of political violence against what they perceive as an "out-group" of corrupt officials, elites, or an unjust system. Voice of the people (vox populi) emotions For those who may empathize with the motive of such an attack, the underlying emotion is often outrage, not terror. The symbolism is not meant to instill fear in a general audience but to express anger and contempt for the targeted institutions. Rage against injustice: For those driven by a "rage narrative," these attacks are viewed as retaliation for perceived government overreach or abuses of power. This is in contrast to the "fear narrative" that typically follows attacks on civilian targets. Perceived persecution: In many cases, the attacker or their sympathizers feel that they have been personally wronged or persecuted by the government or its agents. The act is seen as justified retribution for a perceived injustice. Polarized anger: Responses to such attacks are often filtered through strong political biases. An individual's emotional reaction may be driven by partisan anger, with views shaped by a deep-seated distrust of government institutions. Some recent research has shown that anger, rather than fear, has become a more prominent response among certain groups following political violence. Motivated by repression: Studies show that political repression, or the perception of it, can motivate anti-government violence. For individuals who feel their voice is being repressed, a violent act may seem like the only option left for expressing their grievance. The lone actor as a symbol Historically, attacks on FBI and CIA gates are often carried out by "lone wolf" or "stray dog" perpetrators who are ideologically motivated but not part of a larger, coordinated group. This makes the individual attacker a symbolic figure representing the frustration of marginalized or disillusioned citizens who feel they have no other recourse. Their actions are often influenced and amplified by online extremist propaganda. -

Putin and the shootings

Following his election in November 2024, Donald Trump has pursued a campaign of "retribution" and vengeance against his perceived enemies, which was a theme of his campaign. In his second term, Trump has used the machinery of the federal government to target political rivals, former government officials, critics, news organizations, universities, and law firms.

The terror began when Hamas gunmen descended upon the Nova music festival near Kibbutz Re'im on motorised paragliders and in pick-up trucks, massacring around 260 revellers and capturing hostages. The black and yellow website features chilling photos of people partying the day before, alongside gruesome footage and images of dead bodies. Pictures of the brutal Kibbutz Be'eri attack that saw more than a 100 of its 1,100 community members tortured and slaughtered are also included, as well as photographs of bedrooms drenched with blood. An image of the charred remains of babies and video of a man who has lost a limb are also featured. Chilling images on the website show people partying the day before A Hamas gunman grabs a civilian at the festival on October 7 Hamas terrorists beside a truck during the deadly October 7 assault The black and yellow website features chilling photos of people partying the day before, alongside gruesome footage and images of dead bodies Israel posted on its X account: 'Viewer discretion advised: some of you may have seen clips and images of the horrific war crimes committed by Hamas on October 7th. A new website archives all of this footage' The infamous tent filled with bodies of festivalgoers also serves as a stark reminder of the attack that started a bloody war that has seen more than 1,400 Israeli deaths and 9,061 killed in Gaza. Israel posted on its X account: 'Viewer discretion advised: some of you may have seen clips and images of the horrific war crimes committed by Hamas on October 7th. A new website archives all of this footage. 'We know it's difficult to watch, but it is even more heart wrenching for the victims and the families of these heinous crimes. Please RT this and help us make sure that the world knows what happened.' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that Israeli forces had pushed further in than the outskirts of Gaza City in their assault on Hamas terrorists in the northern half of the Gaza Strip. Ground battles flared again the previous night in northern Gaza as Israeli troops sought to destroy Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls the territory. The Israeli army chief of staff, Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi, said troops were inside Gaza, besieging Gaza City and 'deepening infiltration' of Hamas-held areas. The Israeli army is seeking to free around 240 hostages, both civilians and troops, captured by Hamas during the assault. Some 332 soldiers have already died in the October 7 attacks and in the Israeli offensive the Hamas assault triggered. Now gruelling urban warfare lies ahead deeper inside Gaza, where Hamas is fighting from a tunnel network spanning hundreds of kilometres. Global concern has risen sharply over Israel's response, in which the army says it has struck more than 12,000 targets so far. A child's blood-soaked bed in Kibbutz Kerem Shalom following a Hamas-led attack on the home Israeli festivalgoers run for their lives through the desert after being warned of an incoming rocket attack just as Hamas invaded the country on October 7 Special concern has focused on repeated heavy strikes on Gaza's largest refugee camp - densely populated Jabalia, north of Gaza City - where explosions brought down residential buildings. Gaza's Hamas-ruled government said 195 were killed in two days of Israeli strikes on Jabalia, with hundreds more missing and wounded, figures that could not be independently verified.

https://thenewsandtimes.blogspot.com/2023/12/back-to-ussr-300-people-stood-in-their.html BACK TO THE USSR: “300 people stood in their underpants”: police raided LGBT clubs in Moscow - Gazeta.Ru posted via gazeta.ru Police raids took place in LGBT establishments in Moscow. According to eyewitnesses, the events took place in clubs and saunas under the pretext of searching for drugs, and visitors’ passports were photographed. In addition, the oldest gay club in St. Petersburg announced its closure. On November 30, the Russian Supreme Court declared the LGBT movement extremist and banned its activities. On the night of December 2, the police raided a nightclub on Malaya Yakimanka in Moscow during an LGBT party, the Telegram channel “Caution, Moscow” reported . According to the channel, about 300 people attended the event; police raided the establishment under the pretext of searching for drugs. Several visitors were detained. “In the middle of the party, they stopped the music and [the police] started entering the halls. There were also citizens of other countries at the party. On the way out they took photographs of passports without permission to do so. The scheme was worked out, this is how similar clubs in St. Petersburg were closed. Someone is panicking,” said one of the guests of the establishment. The channel later reported that all participants were released when their passports were photographed. “I thought that’s it, I’ll be imprisoned for 12 years. We didn’t understand, 300 of us stood naked, wearing only shorts, and waited for our clothes to be brought out. And no one understood what was happening,” said a party participant in a conversation with the Telegram channel “Caution, News” . Similar raids took place in other thematic establishments. According to Caution, Moscow , they began around 22:00 Moscow time on December 1. Law enforcement officers checked a club near the Avtozavodskaya metro station and a strip club for men near the Polyanka station. The administration of the establishments warned visitors in advance about the police visit. The check also took place in a bar near Chistoprudny Boulevard. “There was an ordinary party, the owner comes out and says that within an hour people in uniform will come in connection with the recent law. Within 20 minutes, the dance floor began to empty,” said eyewitnesses. In addition, the administration of the establishment reported that a popular singer was supposed to perform at the bar, but she refused the event. The message does not specify who we are talking about. According to the channel, raids also took place in “LGBT saunas.” In particular, security forces came to the men's premium bathhouse near Tsvetnoy Boulevard. “Everything is going on like a regular drug raid. No violations were detected, but the mood was spoiled. It was indelicate in the sauna, with show masks, they put everyone face down,” eyewitnesses told Beware, Moscow . LGBT clubs are closing On the evening of December 1, the Central Station club in St. Petersburg announced its closure. The Fontanka publication called it “one of the oldest gay clubs in St. Petersburg.” “Unfortunately, the site we rented refused to allow us to work due to the law. We apologize, we are no longer working,” says a message on the club’s VKontakte page. Recently the club was located on Konyushennaya Square, where it moved after the spring police raids on Dumskaya Street. In March of this year, about 20 establishments were sealed on Dumskaya and Lomonosova streets, and 13 bars were closed in April. According to the Investigative Committee , this was done as part of an investigation into a criminal case involving teenagers in the systematic use of alcohol.

Howie Carr: FBI whiffs again on Colorado mass shooting suspect by Howie Carr https://thenewsandtimes.blogspot.com/2021/03/howie-carr-fbi-whiffs-again-on-colorado.html So now it turns out that the FBI knew all about the accused Boulder shooter, but paid no attention to the obvious warning signs until police say the rabidly anti-American immigrant from Syria murdered 10 U.S. citizens in the supermarket. “The suspect’s identity,” the New York Times reported, “was known to the FBI because he was linked to another individual under investigation by the bureau, according to law enforcement officials.” Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. The Famous But Incompetent FBI likewise knew all about accused shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa’s fellow Muslim immigrants who committed mass murder, like the Tsarnaev brothers — but did nothing until those welfare-collecting “asylees” blew up the Boston Marathon. The FBI also had early warnings about the Muslim terrorists who shot up the gay nightclub in Orlando, the Christmas party in San Bernardino, Fort Hood, the cartoon-drawing contest in Texas … and yet the G-men sat on their soft hands until scores of Americans were murdered in cold blood. But it’s not only foreign Muslim terrorists the FBI can’t be bothered lugging. It’s domestic killers as well. For instance, in 2018 the FBI’s national tip line got a 13-minute-long earful from the aunt of the Parkland High shooter Nikolas Cruz — but did nothing until 17 people were gunned down. Remember serial killer Gary Sampson? Before he murdered three innocent men in 2001, he called the FBI office in Boston from a pay phone in Abington and offered to turn himself in on some unsolved bank robberies. But it was a Friday afternoon, so the FBI “disconnected” his call and didn’t bother to pick him up. The next day, Sampson started his two-state carjacking murder spree. This is Your FBI, as the old radio show used to begin. But there have been some cases that the FBI has been on top of: Lady Gaga’s stolen French bulldogs. Tom Brady’s purloined football jerseys. The “noose” on NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace’s garage, which turned out to be a door pull rope. (Fifteen agents were assigned to that “hate crime.”) Taking a knee en masse for George Floyd.

Steve Bannon believed Trump had dementia and plotted to remove him as president, according to new book | Investigation of Donald Trump and Trumpism – trumpinvestigation.net: What role did the retired FBI agents play in Capitol riot? | In new defense, dozens of Capitol rioters say law enforcement ‘let us in’ to building By Michael Novakhov (Mike Nova) February 20, 2021 Steve Bannon believed Trump had dementia and plotted to remove him as president, according to new book posted at 09:48:52 UTC - https://thenewsandtimes.blogspot.com/2021/02/steve-bannon-believed-trump-had.html - 10:14 AM 2/20/2021 - In new defense, dozens of Capitol rioters say law enforcement ‘let us in’ to building https://news-channels.com/steve-bannon-believed-trump-had-html/ By ALEXANDER MALLIN, ALEX HOSENBALL and OLIVIA RUBIN, ABC News (WASHINGTON) — As authorities continue to pursue individuals who participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the United States Capitol, a growing number of those charged are employing a new defense: blaming the police for letting them in. At least 29 people arrested for their role in the Jan. 6 events have claimed they thought they were free to enter the Capitol because law enforcement authorities either didn’t stop them from coming in or never told them they were not allowed to be there, according to affidavits and court filings reviewed by ABC News. “He was not at the front of the lines, he didn’t see barricades being knocked down, he didn’t see officers getting assaulted, he didn’t see anything other than large crowds at the Capitol,” Thomas Mayr, the lawyer for Christopher Grider, one of the people accused of participating in the riot, told ABC News. “He went through an open door.” Grider, of Texas, is one of dozens of suspected rioters who claimed to be unaware they were not allowed inside — some of whom argued that they were actually ushered in by officers. He now faces multiple charges including violent entry and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds. Jacob Lewis of California told investigators he was never told that he could not enter the Capitol, and that he was “escorted” by police into the building. When reached by ABC News, Lewis said he would be releasing video footage to “back up his story.” He declined to share the video with ABC News. Lewis was indicted on four misdemeanor charges, including disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building. Even as scrutiny of Capitol police continues to build, experts say it is unlikely such a defense will work in most situations. “In general, ignorance of the law is not an excuse for criminal behavior,” said Taryn Merkl, senior counsel in the Justice Program at the Brennan Center for Justice and a former federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York. Many accused rioters also face multiple charges for crimes they allegedly committed once inside the building, which experts say would render their claims of legal entry meaningless. “Whether or not people knew that it was not lawful to enter the grounds as they did, many are charged with parading, demonstrating, or picketing — and that is prohibited, and no intent is required,” Merkl said. Brandon Fellows, for example, told investigators he did not think he was going to get in trouble because the police officers seemed to be “on our side,” but he was later seen with his feet up on the desk of Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore. “Even if the officer had permitted him in the rotunda area or somewhere that might conceivably be a public space, anybody knows that breaking into a private senatorial office is wrongful, and would obstruct the administration of government,” Merkl said. U.C. Berkeley law professor Charles Weisselberg, a former public defender, said the defense might help those charged with crimes where intent is required ... - READ MORE: https://news-channels.com/steve-bannon-believed-trump-had-html/ - -

I think humbly, that at the roots of these and many other events are the TOC-MOB, New Abwehr (and Germany), and the KGB (as the collective term for the Russian Intelligence Services). I very much doubt that the deeply dysfunctional FBI is able to dig out the real TRUTH, for a variety of reasons. I strongly support calls for the Independent Congressional Inquiry and the most comprehensive and in depth Investigations of these and many, many other US Intelligence failures which, if continued, can lead to the Catastrophe. The Capitol Riot may have been “PRE-PLANNED” indeed, as the Trump’s defense asserts. However, it does not mean that Trump did not know about these plans and did not take part in this planning and organizing covertly or overtly. It looks like everything was very carefully coordinated, and for some time. WHO ARE THE MAIN HIDDEN ACTORS?! That’s the ($1000K) Question! 9:51 AM 2/13/2021

Thomas Edward Caldwell, Oath Keeper Leader, Charged With Conspiracy in Capitol Riots https://michaelnovakhov-sharednewslinks.com/thomas-edward-caldwell-oath-keeper-leader-charged-with-conspiracy-in-capitol-riots/ - The News And Times Information Network - Blogs By Michael Novakhov - https://thenewsandtimes.blogspot.com/ - Updated Jan. 19, 2021 5:41PM ET / Published Jan. 19, 2021 11:09AM ET An apparent leader of the Oath Keepers, a far-right militia group, was arrested in Virginia on Tuesday for his alleged role in plotting to attack the Capitol. Thomas Edward Caldwell, 65, was arrested in Virginia on several federal charges, including conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States, after he was allegedly involved in coordinating a plan to disrupt the Jan. 6 congressional session to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral victory. During the siege, in which thousands of MAGA supporters stormed the Capitol, five people died and dozens more were injured. According to a criminal complaint first obtained by The Washington Post, prosecutors allege Caldwell helped organize a group of at least eight people, who were seen “aggressively approaching an entrance to the Capitol.” The group was seen wearing military-style gear and helmets as they moved “in an organized and practiced fashion and force[d] their way to the ground of the crowd gathered around a door to the U.S. Capitol.” Feds Nab Proud Boy Seen Smashing Capitol Window With Shield GOT HIM Adam Rawnsley, Pilar Melendez While hundreds of rioters have been arrested for their roles in the insurrection, the conspiracy charge against Caldwell is a first in the wide-ranging investigation. The charge, which is reserved for obstructing the operation of government, implies federal authorities are beginning to track coordination efforts in the days before the riots. Prosecutors allege Caldwell began plotting with other Oath Keepers at least five days before the insurrection, citing a Jan. 1 message on Facebook in which he admitted he was looking for housing for several individuals at a Comfort Inn in Ballston, Virginia. The hotel, which is eight miles from the Capitol, “would allow us to go hunting at night if we wanted to,” Caldwell said in a Facebook message to Oath Keepers member Jessica Watkins, according to the affidavit. “I don’t know if Stewie has even gotten out his call to arms, but it’s a little friggin late. This is one we are doing on our own. We will link up with the north carolina [sic] crew,” Caldwell continues in the Jan. 1 post, apparently referring to Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes. Watkins, a 38-year-old Army veteran member of the Ohio State Regular Militia, was arrested Sunday in connection with the riots. Authorities allege Watkins breached the Capitol with other members of the Ohio State Regular Militia, the far-right group she founded in 2019. Donovan Crowl, 50, a former Marine and another member of the Ohio military group, was arrested with Watkins. Watkins’ militia is a subset of the Oath Keepers, which FBI agents describe as a “large but loosely organized collection of the militia who believe the federal government has been corrupted by a shadowy conspiracy that is trying to strip American citizens of their rights.” Real Estate Agent Who Took Private Jet to Riot Is Arrested ‘LIFE OR DEATH’ Pilar Melendez Hours after the riots, the affidavit states Caldwell sent a video on Facebook that appears to be taken from inside the Capitol. “Us storming the castle. Please share. Sharon was right with me! I am such an instigator! She was ready for it man! Didn’t even mind the tear gas,” he wrote on the video. -
