Putin’s Favorite TV News Pundits Boast That Russia Could Destroy the US East Coast With Just Two Nuclear Missiles and Rant About Killing Two Million Ukrainians to ‘De-nazify’ the Country

By Daily Mail. Russian state media has issued a chilling new nuclear threat to the US, boasting that Putin could wipe out the entire East and West coast with just four missiles.

Alexei Zhuravlev, a member of Putin’s puppet parliament, issued the threat Monday – saying ‘there will be nothing left’ on either coast after strikes using Russia’s new Sarmat 2 nuke, and that the mushroom cloud will be ‘visible from Mexico’.

Zhuravlev then pivoted to threaten 2million Ukrainians with annihilation, describing them as ‘incurable’ Nazis who will never be convinced to support Russia’s war.

It is just the latest in a long line of threats to be issued by Putin’s tame media as hosts try to whip up support for his ill-judged invasion of Ukraine.

Zhuravlev was speaking Monday to Yevgeny Popov, a talk show hos on the main Rossiya 1 channel and also an MP, when he went on a nuclear rant.

Putin Horror: Tech Billionaire Warns Russian ‘Cyber 9/11’ Could ‘Destroy Society’

By Express UK. Mr O’Dowd delivered the stark warning concerning the US’ liability in the cybersphere as part of his campaign for US Senate, which he hopes will urge Congress to take action. According to the California senator hopeful, millions of lives in the US are presently dependent on infrastructure that operates on “defective software” that has created national security vulnerabilities”. The software engineer is the creator of the secure operating systems used for various aerospace and defence projects, including Boeing’s 787 airliners, Lockheed Martin’s F-35 fighter jets, and NASA’s Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle and the Boeing B1-B Intercontinental Nuclear Bomber.

Mr O’Dowd said: “Self-driving cars, power grids, water treatment plants, and even our hospital systems are now all connected to the internet.

“Vladimir Putin or a terrorist could cause them to self-destruct, creating a cyber 9/11 that could destroy our entire society.

“If that happened, our supermarkets could be empty in a day, there would be no electricity and our transport networks would be paralysed.

“Suddenly we’d be plunged back to living like in the year 1820. (Read more from “Putin Horror: Tech Billionaire Warns Russian ‘Cyber 9/11’ Could ‘Destroy Society’” HERE)

Putin Ally Warns of World War III if West Continues Aid to Ukraine

/0 Comments/in , /by

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko — Russian President Vladimir Putin’s closest ally — warned Western nations of a coming World War III, unless they stop supplying Ukraine with weapons.

Lukashenko, 68, raised the specter of a global conflict in a letter to United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, which was released Monday.

“Belarus calls on the countries of the world to unite and prevent the regional conflict in Europe from escalating into a full-scale world war!” he wrote, according to reporting by Newsweek.

A broad coalition of nations, led by the US and the UK, have sent billions of dollars worth of weapons and ammunition to Ukraine to help the country repel Russia’s unprovoked invasion, while imposing crippling sanctions on Putin and his cronies.

Nuclear Bomb Simulator Used 9 Million Times Since Russia Invaded Ukraine; As Finland Nears NATO, Russia Flags ‘Full-Fledged Nuclear War’ Risk

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Newsweek. A nuclear bomb simulator website has experienced a huge increase in visits since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, the creator told Newsweek.

The simulator—called NUKEMAP—was created by Alex Wellerstein, a historian of nuclear weapons, who is an associate professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology, in Hoboken, New Jersey.

On February 24, Russian forces began advancing into Ukrainian territory across several fronts, marking a major escalation in a conflict that started in 2014. Following the invasion, NATO activated its defense plans, while Sweden and Finland applied for membership to the organization, much to Russia’s displeasure.

The conflict has led to a spike in discussions about the potential breakout of nuclear war—and people have been looking to find out what that might mean if a bomb were detonated. (Read more from “Nuclear Bomb Simulator Used 9 Million Times Since Russia Invaded Ukraine” HERE)

As Finland Nears NATO, Russia Flags ‘Full-Fledged Nuclear War’ Risk

By Newsweek. Former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has warned of the risk of “open conflict” between Moscow and NATO, which could escalate into a nuclear war, just as Finland announced plans to join the alliance.

Although he did not mention Russia’s neighbor by name, Medvedev, who is the deputy chairman of his country’s Security Council, raised the threat of nuclear war in a Telegram post which was published less than an hour after Helsinki announced its NATO intentions.

The Russian foreign ministry said on Thursday that, following Finland’s move, it will be “forced to take retaliatory steps, both of a military-technical and other nature to stop the threats to its national security,” RIA Novosti reported.

Putin Will Land in Sanatorium and Lose Power by 2023: Ex-MI6 Head

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin will land in a long-term medical facility by next year, a former MI6 chief predicted amid rumors that the Kremlin strongman’s health is failing.

Sir Richard Dearlove said on the One Decision podcast that Putin, 69, could be sent to a sanatorium as part of an exit strategy amid Russia’s struggling effort to invade neighboring Ukraine.

“I’m really going to stick my neck out. I think he’ll be gone by 2023,” Dearlove, a co-host of the podcast, forecasted. “Probably into the sanatorium, from which he will not emerge as leader of Russia.”

Putting Putin to the medical facility would be the “elegant” alternative to a coup, said Dearlove, who was head of the British Secret Intelligence Service from 1999 until 2004.

He cautioned that Moscow has no succession plan if Putin departs, but believes secretary of the Security Council of Russia Nikolai Patrushev would take control. (Read more from “Putin Will Land in Sanatorium and Lose Power by 2023: Ex-MI6 Head” HERE)

Putin Seen With Blotches on Cheeks After Skipping Beloved Ice Hockey Game

/0 Comments/in , /by

Questions about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s health continued to swirl Wednesday as he missed his beloved annual ice hockey game – appearing instead on a video sporting mysterious marks on his face.

Putin pulled out of the Night Hockey League game in which he had been “expected” to compete and sent a video message while at Sochi, the Black Sea resort where the match was scheduled to take place, East2West News reported.

Adding to speculation about the strongman’s health were dark blotches on his cheeks that may have been masked by makeup.

“I wish you good luck in your ice battles and all the best,” Putin said in his message. “And as they say, ‘May the best win.’”

A Moscow source told the news outlet that the amateur game “was always a firm date in his [Putin’s] diary,” added that “something must be wrong for him to be a no-show.” (Read more from “Putin Seen With Blotches on Cheeks After Skipping Beloved Ice Hockey Game” HERE)

Biden Blames Putin Again

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday for the latest spike in gas prices, suggesting the foreign leader had enacted a “gas tax” on America by invading Ukraine.

Biden spoke about how in 2021, the used car market was artificially high because of a shortage of available computer chips.

“This year we have a similar problem, but it’s because of energy because of Putin’s gas tax,” he said, describing the tax as “the gas tax of him causing such a disruption in oil markets around the world.”

The AAA national average for a gallon of gas is now $4.574, breaking the previous record set in early March. (Read more from “Biden Blames Putin Again” HERE)

Putin’s Billionaire Confidante, Wagner Mercenary Chief, Brands West ‘Pathetic Endangered Perverts’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Yevgeny Prigozhin, thought to finance the private military company Wagner Group, declared the West a “pathetic endangered bunch of perverts” in a blistering rant. Mr Prigozhin, a billionaire with close relations to the Russian president, told The Guardian: “You are a dying-out western civilisation that considers Russians, Malians, Central Africans, Cubans, Nicaraguans and many other peoples and countries to be third world scum.

“Remember, this is not true …. You are a pathetic endangered bunch of perverts, and there are many of us, billions of us. And victory will be ours.”

Mr Prigozhin has been called ‘Putin’s chef’ due to his history of catering for the Russian dictator.

The businessman has built up a food empire within Russia, having been awarded contracts by the state to supply dinners to schools and also to Russian soldiers.

However, the billionaire is also alleged to own the private militia Wagner Group, which came to global prominence during the war in Donbas in Ukraine in 2014. (Read more from “Putin’s Billionaire Confidante, Wagner Mercenary Chief, Brands West ‘Pathetic Endangered Perverts’” HERE)

Putin to Undergo Cancer Surgery, Transfer Power to Ex-FSB Chief: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to undergo cancer surgery and temporarily hand over power to a hardline former federal police chief, according to a new report.

Putin will transfer control of Russia’s government to Nikolai Patrushev, head of the Russian federal police’s Security Council, while he is incapacitated during and after the procedure, according to a video from the mysterious Telegram channel “General SVR” on Saturday.

The channel — which is purportedly run by a former Russian Foreign Intelligence Service lieutenant general known by the pseudonym “Viktor Mikhailovich” — reported that Putin has been told by doctors that he must undergo an operation.

The anticipated surgery and recovery are expected to incapacitate Putin for “a short time,” according to the unconfirmed report. (Read more from “Putin to Undergo Cancer Surgery, Transfer Power to Ex-FSB Chief: Report” HERE)

Abolish the FBI or Face an American Putin

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following the death of Stalin, the Soviet secret police pivoted from heavy-handed mass arrests to a subtler, but still sinister, system of mass spying and accumulation of “kompromot,” or compromising material, on its citizens. The Soviets maintained control by prioritizing spying on religious figures, political activists, journalists, and public officials. We’re now finding out that the FBI in America has a similar program of mass surveillance of similar targets. And, as with the Soviets, much of the spying has nothing to do with investigating crime.

According to a Justice Department internal audit report, the FBI maintained an active caseload of 24,584 cases during the 18 months between January 2018 and June of 2019. A grossly disproportionate share of those cases involved surveillance of influential Americans such as candidates for office, public officials, journalists, religious leaders, and political activists. When the FBI targets an individual wielding high social influence, it categorizes the case as “sensitive.”

To prevent the FBI from abusing investigations to capture the levers of government and subverting democracy, the Justice Department has established rules. Most important among these rules is that the FBI isn’t supposed to start investigating a public official unless it has reason to suspect a crime. Nearly every “sensitive case” evidenced violations of the rules. In fact, the office of inspector general identified an average of two violations for every reviewed sensitive case.

Vladimir Putin, not unlike our current FBI Director Christopher Wray, got his start as a “reformer” known for mouthing reform slogans to parry public outrage over the many abuses of the national police organization. Like Putin, Wray has used the smokescreen of cosmetic reforms to amass great power at the expense of the democratic process he is supposed to protect. The FBI has proven over and over again to be totally immune to reform. It consistently fails to punish employees for violating the rules, so changing those rules has no effect.

The existence of the FBI has had no effect on the crime wave plaguing America. Contrary to the many dramatized depictions of the FBI, the Bureau solves an insignificant minority of crimes in America. (Read more from “Abolish the FBI or Face an American Putin” HERE)

Putin Shrugs off Financial Sanctions as Ruble Rebounds

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vladimir Putin’s Russia is earning more from its energy exports than it was before it invaded Ukraine, and the ruble has bounced back to its prewar value. Tell us again about those “crippling” sanctions.

Yes, President Joe Biden on Friday signed two bills expanding US financial restrictions on Russia, and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan says, “We will keep working on additional ways to deny them revenue.”

But none of it can hit that hard as long as Western Europe, utterly dependent on Russia’s oil and gas, can’t stop buying it. And the war has roiled markets enough to spike prices, so Bloomberg Economics anticipates Russia will earn about $320 billion from energy exports this year, up more than a third from 2021.

The United States can’t force Germany et al to start exploiting their own energy resources (though European voters can, and should). But America can steal Russia’s export markets, if Washington is willing to stop suppressing US energy production and start supporting it.
