Another Week of Doom and Gloom in the Slavlands

As bad as things are now, just remember that they will only continue to get worse.

The intensive bombing campaign of Russia has already been underway for half a year already and it is set to get much more serious. There are no “red lines” that Putin is willing to enforce. Kiev has proven with their bombings and their invasion into Kursk that Putin will never retaliate.

Unfortunately, I haven’t come across a compilation of all the drone and missile strikes that have hit hangars, factories, warehouses, government buildings and high density archologies in Russia. But you would have to be willfully blind to not notice the visible escalation.

The latest high profile hit was on a megablock apartment building in Saratov.

The video in question is here:

Saratov and Engels have already been attacked using UAVs.

Several houses have been damaged.

The strikes were carried out around 6 a.m.

And now let’s look at the map for a moment.

That’s a pretty long-range strike. In fact, the distance is almost identical to Moscow.

If I were trying to send a message to both Moscow and Washington, it would go something like this. A threat or a coercive display addressed to Moscow by delivering a drone strike on a target an equivalent distance away. Here:

Ukraine says it has a new long-range weapon to strike deep into Russia without asking permission from allies — a homegrown combination of missile and drone that the defense minister vowed Monday would provide “answers” to a wave of Russian bombings.

The “Palianytsia” was created due to urgent necessity, Ukrainian officials said, as Russia has dominated the skies since the outbreak of the war in February 2022 and Ukraine’s Western allies have placed conditions on use of their long-range missiles in Russia. On Monday, a wave of Russian missiles and drones targeted Ukraine’s electrical infrastructure in the largest such attack in weeks.

“Defenders of life should have no restrictions on weapons, as long as Russia uses all kinds of its own weapons,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a Telegram message following the attacks.

Zelensky confirmed on Saturday the existence of the Palianytsia, named after a type of Ukrainian bread and a word so notoriously difficult to pronounce correctly that it was used to unmask suspected spies early in the war. The Ukrainian president called it “a new class” of weapon.

Saturday, which marked Ukraine’s 33rd anniversary of independence from the former Soviet Union, also saw the first use of the new weapon, targeting a Russian military installation in the occupied territory, officials said without providing details.

Defense Minister Rustem Umerov promised Monday the weapon would be used again soon in response to the overnight attack on Ukraine.

“Ukraine is preparing its response. Weapons of its own production,” he wrote on his Facebook page. “This once again proves that for victory, we need long-range capabilities and the lifting of restrictions on strikes on the enemy’s military facilities.”

A Ukrainian military video hinted that its range is up to 430 miles — on par with the U.S.-supplied ATACMS. It showed a map with various airfields, including Russia’s Savasleyka air base, which lies within that range, adding that the Palianytsia can reach at least 20 Russian airfields.

The United States and other Western allies provide long-range weapons to Ukraine but restrict it from launching them deep into Russia for fear of escalating the war. Ukraine can target the border regions but wants to go deeper to attack Russia’s military infrastructure.

And the more important message is the open invitation to Washington to start sending over better long-distance missiles, the JASSM, which are equipped to the new F-16s that they already sent over. Here:

Talks between Ukraine and U.S. President Joe Biden's administration about supplies of long-range cruise missiles are "in the advanced stages," a source close to President Volodymyr Zelensky's administration told the Kyiv Independent.

The timeline of when the missiles could arrive in Ukraine is unclear, the source said, adding that sometime this fall is in consideration.

President Zelensky's Office declined to comment on the matter.

Earlier on Aug. 15, Politico reported, citing undisclosed sources, that Biden's administration is "open" to supplying Kyiv with long-range cruise missiles to bolster the recently provided F-16 fighter jets, among other purposes.

Kyiv has been urging the U.S. to provide its long-range missiles for Ukrainian forces to be able to strike at Russian military infrastructure and logistics deep inside Russia since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

The news comes as Ukraine continues its Kursk incursion into Russian territory, which has been deemed a tactical success. Ukraine claimed to control 82 Russian settlements as of Aug. 15.

Groups of Ukrainian soldiers have also reportedly entered neighboring Belgorod Oblast as Russian authorities scramble to evacuate its population and send in reinforcements.

The U.S. has not yet made a decision about the missile deliveries but is working out the "complicated details," Politico reported, citing one Biden administration official.

Those "details" include reviews of the transfer of sensitive technologies and ensuring Ukraine’s jets can launch the 2,400-pound (around 1,089 kilograms) missile that carries a 1,000-pound (around 454 kilograms) warhead, according to the media outlet.

The Pentagon declined to comment on Politico's request about the possible shipment of missiles but said that it is considering "a range of options to meet Ukraine's security assistance requirements."

All of this is made possible by Putin’s inaction, which invites more aggression. Zelensky and his team are at least partially doing these “provocations” to prove that Washington has nothing to fear in terms of retaliatory measures from Moscow. The other use of these attacks is the actual damage that they inflict, which is considerable, but hushed up by ZAnon propaganda efforts.

It is so so so important to understand that Putin’s “red lines” are a hoax and that Putin is either craven, or an asset of the enemy.

Which brings us to the second related topic for today, Moscow’s supposed retaliatory strikes on Ukraine. We’ve seen this drama play out several times before: Ukraine sinks a ship or a bridge or invades Russia and the Kremlin demonstrably sends out a wave of “Mr. Kinzhal” missiles that kill tens of thousands of UNATCO’s shadow legions hiding out in the pedophile bunkers under Kiev with Tom Hanks.

This time, the response was no different … but less and less people are impressed by the fireworks displays. Here:

Today, the SMO commentators from the Russian side are having a holiday.

Dozens of strikes have been carried out on objects located in the territory controlled by the Bandera regime. Only a small number of them ask one very simple question: "Why aren't the bridges across the Dnieper destroyed?"

Without destroying the bridges across the Dnieper, all these spectacular strikes are like gentle caresses of the enemy. These strikes are not dangerous for the Kyiv regime in any way. Sometimes unpleasant, yes. When it comes to energy facilities. But the enemy has already adapted to quickly repair the damage from these strikes. As was the case today.

[NOTE: in contrast, Kiev blew the bridges in Kursk oblast with ease. We were told by ZAnon that it would take a tactical nuke to destroy old Soviet bridges in Ukraine which is why they were left alone. The real reason is that destroying the bridges would a) hurt oligarch profits and b) not allowed by Putin’s handlers from Langley.]

A huge number of expensive missiles are spent, the resource of strategic bombers is used up (far from endless, they don't make new ones), the enemy's air defense gains valuable experience in countering our missile strikes. And fatal damage is not inflicted on the enemy. Apparently, there is no such goal. For years, "experts" from TV have been telling us that the bridges on the Dnieper are impossible to destroy. But recent military actions in the Kursk, Kharkov and Sumy regions have clearly demonstrated that bridges can be destroyed. This was done by both the enemy and our Aerospace Forces. But in the third year of the SVO, the bridges across the Dnieper from Zaporozhye and to the north are protected by some kind of magic.

[NOTE: “magic” is the only explanation if you don’t consider the possibility of the existence of backdoor shenanigans.]

But the destruction of these communications will completely deprive the enemy of the ability to normally supply his troops to the east of the Dnieper. His front will simply collapse. But, apparently, this is not part of the plans of the Supreme Command of the Russian Federation. And what is part of their plans? Are you satisfied with the current situation?

If the bridges were blown, supplies sent to defend the fortresses in Donbass would suddenly have less weapons and ammo with which to defend from Russia’s attacks.

Katyusha:

Our colleagues summed up (https://t.me/suverenka/10904) today's strikes. A painful but not fatal blow to the energy sector - a review of strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure on August 26.

Today, Ukrainian military and infrastructure facilities were subjected to (https://t.me/readovkanews/85621) the largest missile attack of the year. Dozens of targets were hit in all corners of the country. However, as we have previously indicated (https://t.me/suverenka/10718) from the point of view of the overall stability of the system, the primary task is to disable the energy sector.

If we analyze the evidence of local residents, the following picture emerges: 5 substations (PS) were damaged or destroyed, as well as the machine room of the Kyiv hydroelectric power station. We are talking about the 750 kV Vinnitska PS, as well as the 330 kV Bar, Khmelnitska, Trikhaty, and Pervomayska PS. This is a rather painful blow, but certainly not fatal.

Not a single switchgear (https://t.me/suverenka/10718) of the three remaining Ukrainian NPPs has been affected. There are also suspicions that the 750 kV Dneprovskaya, Severoukrainskaya, Kyivskaya, and Zapadnoukrainskaya PSs continue to operate. Without the destruction of these key nodes, the network will be able to function, albeit at chronically reduced capacities. Without a point-based, recurring impact, it will not be possible to pause the system that powers industry and urban infrastructure.

If the goal was to “liberate” or rather “unify” Donbass to Russia, you would have focused on blowing the Dniepr bridges (and not only) on day one, or at least as soon as it became apparent that the southern push from Crimea wasn’t going to be crossing the Dniepr after getting bogged down in Kherson.

The justifications for not touching the bridges that I’ve heard are the following:

• Putin is too moral to blow up bridges (it is banned in the Holy Qkhu’ra’an)

• The bridges will be needed when Russia invades Western Ukraine (won’t the Ukrainians just blow them up then if it comes to that?)

• The bridges are simply indestructible (Soviet engineering magic)

• and of course, “SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP NAZI NAZI NAZI!!!”

In contrast, we’ve been talking about those damn bridges on this blog for literally years now.

The funny thing is that there is a possibility that the MoD eventually will target one or more of the bridges. At which point, the narrative will shift immediately to, “yeah those bridges were harboring Nazi terrorists and had to go. Great decision by the big guy. See? What were you worried about? You said they weren’t touching the bridges, but you were wrong! Patriots in control! Kiiii-yaah!”

We’ve seen this happen many times already.

There will never be a “bridge too far” for the propagandists. And if you think that they’ll ever admit that they were wrong, well then I’ve got a bridge across the Dniepr to sell to you.

Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov was arrested in France.

Some speculate that he was supposed to meet up with a very mid-looking thot that he was dating and that is why he went at all despite the risks. Me, I don’t know what to believe yet, but I do automatically believe this version of events because it just emotionally resonates with me. After all, I travelled to Moscow at the start of the SMO to meet up with a girl too and ended up in that basement in solitary for two days as a result. Besides, there is no other reason to go to Paris that I can think of other than if a woman dragged you there to take photos for her Instagram. Here:

On August 24, the founder of Telegram and «VKontakte » Pavel Durov was detained at the airport in Paris. Entrepreneurs are suspected of involvement in drug trafficking, terrorism, crimes against children and fraud due to the fact that he did not cooperate with the French authorities and refused to participate in the moderation of content on the Telegram platform. Durov is now in a pre-trial detention center in Paris, and soon he must be formally charged. According to sources, along with the billionaire, there was also a security guard and a pretty young stranger on board his private plane. Durov's companion was a 24-year-old cryptocouch and blogger Julia Vavilova. According to some reports, a businessman has been in a relationship with a girl for several months. What is known about the alleged beloved Pavel Durov and where she disappeared after the detention of the billionaire — in the material «News ».

Athlete and beauty: who is Julia Babylon

The detention of Pavel Durov took place this Saturday. According to TF1 INFO, a businessman arrived in Paris on a private jet from Azerbaijan, accompanied by a bodyguard and a girl.

Presumably with her, Durov was captured in Kazakhstan on August 11 — in one of his last photos before the incident in France. The mysterious blonde in various sources was called both the assistant billionaire and his lover.

Later it turned out that, together with Durov, 24-year-old Yulia Vavilova flew to the City of Love. The girl calls herself kryptocouch, streamer and gamer. She keeps her own pages on many social networks.

Julia Vavilova. Photo: social networks

Julia publishes photos and videos from travel and sports, all content is in English. According to other sources, the girl also blogs about cryptocurrencies in Arabic.

The alleged companion Pavel Durov moved to Dubai in 2022. Prior to this, the girl lived in the metropolitan area of Chertanovo, writes the telegram channel SHOT.

Are Durov and Babylon Met

Durov and Babylon did not advertise the relationship. However, judging by the photo on the girl’s social networks, this summer she visited the same countries at the same time that Durov was there.

By a strange «coincidence », Julia often finds himself in the same places as a businessman. So, on August 16, she published a photo on the social network with a message that she had flown to Azerbaijan from Kazakhstan. According to SHOT, before that she published pictures from Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, where Durov spent his vacation.

Against the background of one of the photos, a private plane was also seen, similar to the Embraer Legacy 600, on which, presumably, a businessman moved. On the same day, Pavel Durov was in Baku, who held meetings with senior officials.

Despite this, Julia does not talk about her personal life and does not yet publish photos with the founder of Telegram.

Does not get in touch: where did Julia Vavilova go

After the arrest of Pavel Durov, his alleged companion Julia ceased to get in touch. This telegram channel «Base » was reported by close girls.

Photo: social networks

One of the relatives told reporters that the last time the girl called up with her mother two days ago. On August 25, the woman again tried to contact her daughter, but she did not answer.

The girl’s father said that he last talked to her on August 2. According to him, Julia planned to go to France.

And here is a picture of Yulia Valilova with no make-up on:

And again with make-up:

Conclusion: make-up is a war crime and should be made illegal.

Men wouldn’t be so easily cowed into becoming liberal soy-queers or baited into federal honeypots if women weren’t allowed to mask their haggard-ass faces with the help of a multi-billionaire dollar high-tech face paint industry designed specifically to fool men into thinking that ugly women are actually the most attractive women in human history. Women are actually getting uglier, not prettier as we march onwards to global Utopia. But the tech that they use to prop up their looks is filling in the gaps and fooling mens’ brains into thinking that there are these literal Aphrodites walking among us all of a sudden. Remove the filters, the photoshop, the flattering lighting and camera lens and angles and the pounds of make-up that entire generations of beagles were tortured to death for to perfect the product and to make it slightly less toxic than lead paint, and you’re left wondering why we let these creatures dominate our lives.

The important thing to note here is that there is no point in getting rich because your girlfriend will still be an Instagram-addicted thot showing off her cameltoe to millions of chronically-horny Indians and Arabs online for clicks and money that she doesn’t even need. Far worse than even that, she will also be a literal crypto-scammer like Yulia was. What do you think this “crypto-coach’s” job was? Does she strike you as the type who knows a lot about programming and decentralized finance? No, this is one of those make-believe chick jobs and what she really was was just an influencer i.e., a pretty liar getting brown men to invest in scams to get a chance to get her number.

Point being: money and steroids will not save you, beta male.

Look at Durov. This tech-nerd bought the best drugs and the best personal trainers and was transformed into Batman.

And where is he now?

That’s right: jail.

So, since you’re probably going to end up in jail over a mid-looking woman anyway, I suggest skipping the unnecessary and borings steps by simply buying a firearm and dealing drugs instead. This will make women far more attractive than Yulia want to sleep with you. Make sure to confiscate your woman’s phone (and passport) for good measure until they are old and unable to attract other men. Also is is very important that you start being handsome as soon as possible. Get on that. Taking hormones will literally change the way your face looks because it will make your jaw stick out more, which is pretty much the most important thing for determining attractiveness in men. Western women are all on hormonal steroids in the form of birth control which is why they have such cut jawlines and linebacker shoulders to boot. If you’re looking to wrestle these particular piggies into submission underneath the sheets, you’re going to need to start megadosing heroic amounts of steroids as soon as possible. Otherwise, these women will splat your skull like a watermelon by squeezing it between their thighs.

Don’t … don’t ask.

Finally, you’re going to want to start a cult down the line and to spare no expense building a fortified compound where you and your harem can make your last stand after the DEA comes for you.

On a more serious note (although who was joking?), Durov probably got in trouble because information damaging to Israel was leaked over Telegram just prior to his arrest. This was blamed on Iran and on Durov for refusing to hand over the encryption keys to the Jews. Here:

A few months ago, foreign hackers managed to break into a computer linked to Israel's Justice Ministry. Tens of thousands of classified files and sensitive emails were leaked. Links allowing anyone to download the breached files were published on Telegram, the popular instant messaging app.

However, they soon began to disappear. One by one, the hacker's Telegram channels were taken down, their users deleted and posts that shared the download links gone.

Since October 7, Israel has faced an unprecedented onslaught of cyber-attacks: accounts of officials and key figures from Israel's security establishment, servers of private firms, military and defense contractors, municipalities, hospitals and even government ministries and key bodies they interact with were all targeted, if not successfully hacked, in a seemingly endless string of attacks, the full extent of which has not yet been made public.

Many of the hackers present themselves as pro-Palestinian forces, but are often fronts for Iran's semi-official cyber-intelligence hackers. Usually, their goals are to collect information, attack infrastructure and disrupt different services. However, they are also interested in what is termed "perception hacking" and psychological warfare, in this case intended to embarrass Israel, the so-called cyber nation.

Sources say the true extent of the damage to Israel's security and economy caused by these leaks is not yet fully known, not even to those in charge of dealing with the issue in Israel. They say that despite massive investment in defensive cybersecurity measures, the scale of the leaks is likely the most severe in Israel's history – "an unprecedented looting of gigabytes upon gigabytes of information of all sorts."

Local cyber security experts explain that many times, the surfacing of hacked materials is just the public crescendo of a clandestine hack that began some time ago.

After their intelligence value is maxed out, or their operation is caught, the hackers shift gears and begin very loudly trying to publicize the stolen digital goods. Their goal: cause financial and reputational damages to Israel and Israeli firms, especially those who work with the military or state.

In other words, after the hacks come the leaks. Accordingly, once hacked, Israel works to prevent the leak and try to minimize its spread, and thus try to mitigate the long term damage caused by its online existence.

According to a number of people knowledgeable on the matter, Israel is waging a digital war on a number of fronts to try to stem the seemingly endless leak of its information. These efforts include monitoring the web and social media sites for leaks and using legal take-down requests to tech firms like Google, Amazon, Meta and even Telegram, to have them removed or blocked.

In some cases, the policy proves quite successful. Websites hosted by Western firms have been taken down for providing a home for digital loot flagged by Israeli authorities. Recently, a number of accounts were taken down by Telegram after posting links to hacked materials, including the hackers' own official channels, but also that of a well-known leaks website that frequently works with journalists and has recently started hosting leaked Israeli data.

However, critics say the efficacy of the policy, which also includes the use of local gag orders and censorship, is of limited value and poses a number of risks and ethical dilemmas. Though it helps quell some of the spread of what officials say is "information intended to harm Israel," it does so only partially.

Moreover, it has sparked a cat-and-mouse game with hackers who, dead set on leaking their goods online, have shifted to more advanced technological means to create websites that cannot be taken down.

Finding Pavel

"From October 7 and continuously since then, up till this very day, we've seen a concerted effort of cyber-attacks, some directly linked or attributed to enemy states and terrorist organizations, to conduct 'perception attacks' in the form of publishing leaks," says Haim Wismonsky, the director of the cyber unit in the Israeli State Prosecutor's Office, which is part of the Justice Ministry and is the body charged with filing the actual requests to tech firms.

"The publication of these leaks is intended to cause a scare, inspire a public panic and create the sense that we are exposed and penetrable, but they are also aimed at causing economic damage if not actually endangering the lives of those people whose personal details are included in their leaks," Wismonsky explained to Haaretz.

The policy and the way it is deployed makes Israel unique. Many countries, including the U.S., usually take criminal or legal steps against leakers, foreign and local, but will make peace with the leak's existence online. Israel, on the other hand, uses tech firm's internal rules to get them to take down the hacked goods on its behalf – and thus prevent the leaked data from reaching the public or journalists, both in Israel and abroad.

Platforms, even those considered hostile to government requests like Telegram, have rules in place intended to defend them against the legal ramifications of their users' conduct. These can include anything from take down requests due to copyright infringement, or legal claims of libel.

Hacked materials fall under a broad category of stolen goods, so the same policies in place to prevent the spread of files for illegally downloading movies or television series can also be used to take down hacked materials stolen from Israeli servers without consent.

In recent months, for example, Israeli requests flagging violations of Telegram's terms of use have led to at least 10 takedowns of hacker groups' users and channels. Many times, it's the same hacker group who, undeterred, have opened a new channel and posted new links to the same leak.

Telegram has proved a massive challenge for Israel since the start of the war. While many tech firms have streamlined mechanisms through which states can reach out to them, Telegram is considered the least cooperative of them all.

More than that, while many social media platforms have invested heavily in moderation, allowing people and organizations to help monitor content – for example, the removal of antisemitic content or posts inciting terrorism or even the removal of videos from the October 7 massacre – Telegram has not. States and users alike have a single email address to which they can send their grievances.

Telegram emerged at the start of the war as a key platform utilized by Hamas' information warfare against Israel, one Israel was unable to properly address, lacking both monitoring capabilities and an understanding of the platform.

Concerned by the wave of pro-Hamas content, which included videos from the actual attack as well as a constant stream of propaganda materials, Israelis in the high-tech industry tried late in 2023 to reach Telegram's founder, Pavel Durov.

Though they successfully contacted Durov, who lives in the UAE, he was unreceptive to these private requests to improve moderation on the platform. Though a few pages linked directly to Hamas' military wing were locally blocked at a later stage, the private initiative failed to gain any real traction with the app's founder.

Sources explain that Google or Meta will take down a page if it is shown to be directly linked to Hamas and Amazon will remove a website for hosting terrorist materials. On Telegram, content cannot be taken down with such arguments. Only clearly stolen goods will be taken down, making content claims the only effective route for Israel's legal authorities.

The data speaks for itself: According to official numbers provided by Israel, the Justice Ministry has sent Facebook over 40,000 successful requests to remove "illegal content." These are not pro-or-anti-Israel posts, but rather content that is illegal by Western standards. Even TikTok has taken down over 20,000 posts flagged by Israel. On Telegram, that number is just over 1,300.

And there you have it.

Durov, contrary to what ZAnon will tell you, does not have many friends in Russia. He had to flee the country after Igor Setchin and the FSB came after him. Prior to that, he had already had Vkontakte stolen from him by Setchin and his goons. As a result, Durov refused to help the Kremlin investigate the people involved in the protests against the Kremlin. Durov made a post showing Putin the middle finger following the Bolotnaya protests.

Durov also funded opposition candidates like Mikhail Svetov of all people, who I have written about before. Svetov (real name possibly Lichtmann) was a Libertarian goofball who ended up being a lieutenant of sorts in Navalny’s operation. He had to flee Russia after people found out about some old blogs that he ran that advocated for pedophelia and shared disturbing gore-themed pornography. Not a good look.

Durov also may have funded some Russian Nationalists of the old yellow, black and white flag variety. Telegram was a source of pride and rumor and fascination for many Russians, actually. Lots of young men looked up to Durov.

Me, I don’t think we would have gotten along.

In my experience, most patriots or right-leaning folks don’t use encryption and are very blase about what they say online. They then are very surprised when they get a visit by the secret police at their door. Like those poor bastards on Nightmare Island who are being rounded up for online posts by the police now. For literally decades, people have tried to warn older folks not to show their faces and names online, but to no avail. So, I don’t think many people with something akin to my worldview were using encrypted chats to communicate or coordinate because it’s considered a faux pas or immoral even to take steps to hide one’s identity online among patriotic types.

I mean, even in my own limited experience, I get spammed all the time time in comments sections where my stuff gets reposted or when I do an interview on another channel by the irate peasant mob demanding that I show my face and my credit card information and social security number before I be taken seriously.

In contrast, it is almost entirely ethnic criminals who avail themselves of these services and like to use the internet for what it was clearly intended for: to conspire to overthrow governments. Or to sell drugs and porn. I mean just look at who runs Tor. You’d think that the roles ought to be switched, but right-leaning people are heavily invested in the comforting illusion that they and people like them are in control of their countries. For them to admit that they need to start behaving more like guerrillas hiding out in the jungle would be too powerful of a blow to their ego and pride, so they continue on pretending to be in charge instead of coming to grips with reality. It is only when that knock on the door at 4AM cracks through the night do they finally, belatedly, start to understand …

The Pavel story also shows that independent businessmen are not allowed in the wild. If you do not play ball with the spooks, you will be shut down. All major businessmen and companies report to and serve the global spook state that rules over us now. “Free market” and “pull on your bootstraps” my left nut. Especially all forms of social media, mass communication and information exchange companies. If you are not part of the elite pedo-tech cabal, you have no rights and you can, apparently, be arrested at any time.

The main reason why people think that Durov was arrested was because he refused to allow Telegram to be censored or to hand over the keys to the intelligence services.

I feel bad for thinking that he had already handed over those keys in London.

There was a rumor at the time on the Runet that this is what happened. His recent arrest seems to indicate that this is not the case. But hey, you never know … I still recommend adopting Bastyon. But Telegram is now officially DissidentTech in many people’s hearts and minds and they’ll keep using it even if we find out that Durov cracked. Also, it occurs to me that the timing of this arrests also coincides neatly with Putin declaring that Telegram would be censored and bloggers forced to get posting licenses from the Kremlin if they had more than 10K subscribers. Could he have called up his once very close friend Macron and asked for a favor?

Just ask: who benefits.

Here:

Pavel Durov's arrest occurred only a few weeks after "[t]he United Nations passed its first cybercrime treaty on [August 8] in a unanimous vote supporting an agreement first put forward by Russia."

https://therecord.media/un-cybercrime-treaty-passes-unanimous

Clearly, Putin and his cabal and the Israelis are the prime beneficiaries of Pavel’s arrest.

And now a few words on the hostage situation and almost prison break in Russia.

Here is the latest update:

🇷🇺🏴 According to preliminary information, the assault on the territory of Correctional Colony No. 19 has ended. According to available data, all hostages were rescued, and one FSIN (Federal Penitentiary Service) employee with serious injuries was taken to the hospital.

It is reported that all militants have been eliminated, there are no casualties among the hostages or law enforcement personnel, and additional medical teams are working at the scene. One of the terrorists tried to detonate a suicide vest, but was eliminated in advance.

Obviously, this bears the hallmark of organized Muslim terrorism. This should be impossible, of course, because Putin kissed the Holy Qkh’ur’ahr’an in the name of Antifa Multikulti Abraham Values just the other day. Kadyrov and his son filmed themselves torturing a Russian teenager for burning a Koran a year ago as well. Did these Muslims not hear the joyous news? Why then are they stabbing their Abrahamic Traditionalist Great Patriotic Victory Over Nazism and Sports Much Success! fellow Rossiyan brothers? Here:

Four terrorists staged a riot at Penal Colony No. 19 in Volgograd, Russia. The attack took place during the meeting of a disciplinary commission. The rioters, wielding knives, attacked prison employees and killed three people. It is believed that they may have acquired the knives on the territory of the colony for a bribe.

WARNING: The terrorists have released several videos that have made during their attack. The videos are extremely graphic and disturbing. Watch at your own discretion.

More details about the prison riot:

• The attack occurred during a disciplinary committee meeting at around 12:00.

• The attack was carried out by three/four prisoners. They call themselves members of the Islamic State terrorist group (banned in Russia).

• The attackers took advantage of the fact that they all gathered together in one room next to several prison employees.

• At least one person was killed: the colony's duty officer tried to resist the terrorists, but they stabbed him to death.

• Five people were seriously injured: four employees (including the 45-year-old prison chief Colonel Andrei Devyatov, his deputy and one prisoner.

• The terrorists released Andrei Devyatov, he was hospitalized in intensive care. Devyatov has been heading the colony since 2014.

• The terrorists demanded a helicopter with a pilot, two million dollars and an air corridor to the southeast in order to escape from Russia.

Special forces are conducting an operation to free the hostages.

Penal Colony No. 19 is mostly used for first-time convicts. There are about 1,230 prisoners in the colony. In the mid-1980s and early 1990s, the colony was repurposed from a medical-labor colony to a strict-regime correctional labor colony.

Here is the list of the terrorists who seized Penal Colony No. 19 in Volgograd:

• Ramzidin Toshev, 28, native of Uzbekistan. He was sentenced to 8 years on October 25, 2023 for attempted drug trafficking).

• Rustamchon Navruzi, 23, native of Tajikistan. Sentenced to 7 years on June 23, 2022 for attempted drug trafficking).

• Nazirchon Toshov, 28, native of Tajikistan. Sentenced to 8.5 years on April 19, 2023 for attempted drug trafficking).

• Temur Khusinov, 29, native of Uzbekistan. Sentenced to 6 years on November 9, 2018 for intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm.

It is a good thing that Putin is importing millions upon millions of these Abrahamic brothers into Russia. We need the good Abrahamists to help us fight the bad ones. Clearly, it was NAZIS!!! like Strelkov posting on the internet that put these brown innocent babes to commit the attacks. The sooner we can ban all criticism of Putin, the sooner we will stop hearing about Islamic crime in Russia.

BONUS news!

Kiev’s spooks still have access to the entire surveillance camera control grid in Kursk — brought to you by Herman Gref’s Sberbank (We’re Always Watching You :) ©). That means that they have realtime access to information regarding troop movements in the area. The reason why the government refuses to just turn the cameras off is because they’re still harassing and collecting local Russians by issuing speeding tickets.

Oleg Tsarev confirms this almost unbelievable story here:

Unfortunately, the information (https://t.me/olegtsarov/15520) is confirmed. Cameras continue to record speeding violations in the frontline zone of the Kursk region. Volunteers who, risking their lives, continue to evacuate civilians and help the military, are fined when they evade drones at maximum speed. Moreover, those who cover their license plates are stopped by traffic police officers and required to remove the stickers. War is war, but the fines come on schedule.

And here:

Here is another confirmation (https://t.me/olegtsarov/15522) from a subscriber:

"Oleg, good afternoon!

I myself returned from the Kursk region, went to help as a medic. It is true - drivers receive fines even with the 300 sticker on the windshield.

Covered license plates - they also fine them.

Despite rumors that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have connected to the surveillance system of our speed cameras - even against this background, the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate cannot turn them off and sacrifice the sacred - fines."

I will only correct that it is not only the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate (STSI), but the companies that own the cameras. But of course, the decision to turn off the cameras should be up to the authorities. Moreover, war correspondents have been writing about the problem of enemy access to our cameras since the first days of the invasion.

This actually isn’t that surprising when you consider the fact that they were debating whether or not to waive the loan payments on the apartments of refugees fleeing from Kursk oblast’. I don’t know where the Duma landed on that debate, but it could very well be that people are still on the hook for properties that are now under Ukrainian control to big banks like Sber or Alfa Bank (which pays a portion of the UAF’s soldier salaries).

This is only possible because a parasite elite rules over the Slavlands and believes itself to be theologically and ethnically superior to the people that it rules over.
