[AsiaTimes] Wagner Group mutiny will empower ’Great Russia’ ultra-nationalists like Alexander Dugin who advocate more extreme measures in the Ukraine war
Regime change in Russia has been a key objective of the globalist wing of American foreign policy since the 2014 Maidan coup, executed under the instructions of then-assistant secretary of state Victoria Nuland, now the US State Department’s undersecretary for policy. President Joe Biden embraced the demand for regime change on March 26, 2022, declaring that Putin "cannot remain in power" after the February 24 invasion of Ukraine.
The Wagner Group mutiny over this weekend elicited a storm of editorial and social media comments to the effect that the Russian president might be deposed after all. After Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin took the deal proposed by Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, called off his march on Moscow and decamped to Moscow’s closest ally, Putin was still in place.

Only Lindsey Graham is dumb enough to believe that the hardliners that would take over after Putin would be an improvement. If there is another Griener-like hostage swap, less play hardball and make them take Graham.

This is just one attempt to imagine what it might be like if regime change happens in Moscow. IMHO, nobody can predict with any degree of certainty what would happen. This is why it's so scary that we have people like Victoria Nuland and Jake Sullivan in positions of power in this country who think they can play with fire without getting their fingers burned. Well, they might be right. They might not be the ones who have to pay the price. But already their delusional behavior has resulted in the deaths of perhaps hundreds of thousands of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers. How many more will die because people like Nuland and Sullivan keep sticking their noses where they don't belong? And then there are the nukes. I'm no fan of Putin but he is the evil we know. If Putin is deposed, especially in some disorderly manner as a result of American meddling, all bets are off.

Remove Putin and we replace him with someone crazy enough to go full on nuclear war. The Oligarchs are at least corrupt enough to want to go home alive to their dachas and concubines at the end of the day.
Text by Russian historian Alexey Isaev, posted in the Live Journal account of Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] An episode of Citizens in the North Caucasus in 1918, showing how dangerous a mutiny in the army is and what a catastrophic chain it can start.
On July 21, 1918, Ivan Lukich Sorokin, a former paramedic who ended up in the school of ensigns of the WWI, was appointed commander-in-chief of the red troops of the North Caucasus. On September 7, 1918, armies and fronts were formed and the army of the North Caucasian Republic became the 11th army.
In the interval between these dates, the Taman army came out to join Sorokin's troops, whose unprecedented 500-km campaign was later sung by A. Serafimovich in the Iron Stream. Those who are interested, it is better not to read worse, but rather the very informative work "Iron Stream" in a military presentation The link is to a reference, not a book
Achievement, no question.
After such a breakthrough, the Tamanians considered themselves the salt of the earth (partially not unreasonably) and claimed a special status. However, the commander of the Taman army, Ivan Matveev, who lost his shores, was arrested and, by decision of the Revolutionary Military Council, on October 8, 1918, was shot. Party leader of the Kuban Yan Poluyan wrote bluntly: “The Revolutionary Military Council had to face separatism and the former “freedom” of the commanders and the armed masses who supported them. It was necessary first to subdue this mass, to take it, as they say, into hands ... ". I.I. Matveev was chosen as an exemplary victim and away we go.
Upon learning of the execution of Matveev, the Tamanians became furious, shouts were heard among them: “To Pyatigorsk! Let's avenge Matveev with bayonets! Sorokin is a traitor! Those. begins what is commonly called the word mutiny.
Meanwhile, Sorokin himself comes into conflict with the CEC, it comes to executions (which is usually called the "mutiny" of Sorokin himself, but here it is still in quotation marks, and this became the reason for glossing over the real picture of events written in hot pursuit of Citizens historical research), but comrade Trotsky sends a telegram demanding that he be brought to Moscow for trial.
Trotsky's telegram is hidden (and this is also a rebellion without quotes) and "through an oversight of the guards" Sorokin is killed on November 3, 1918 without trial or investigation. Using the Tamanians to fight Sorokin by the CEC was worse than a crime, it was a mistake. Subsequently, L.D. Trotsky blamed Poluyan that as a result of the latter’s stupid actions, “a talent-nugget (Sorokin)” was killed. For such statements, Lev Davidovich clearly had grounds. Denikin in his memoirs also praised Sorokin, who opposed him, as a talented commander.
The decapitated 11th Army was defeated over the next three months, and already in November 1918 suffered defeat after defeat. Denikin wrote about her "For 7.5 months she diverted almost all the Volunteer Forces of the South to herself," but the trick of the Tamanians follows and everything falls into decay.
Would all this have happened without the rebellion and revenge of the Tamanians and connivance with him? Most likely no.

From battle history to exploring the 'why and how' of naval artillery shells Drachinfel's videos can provide hours of both information and entertainment.
[Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C. — Members of the media were left confused today after White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre deployed a smoke bomb on the ground and disappeared in a cloud when questioned about Hunter Biden's incriminating text messages with a Chinese Communist operative.
"She completely vanished!" said Peter Doocy of Fox News. "I was right in the middle of asking her a question about Hunter trying to strong-arm a member of the Chinese Communist Party on a deal involving Joe Biden. She threw something on the ground, the room filled with smoke, and swooshed her sport coat across her face like a cape as she disappeared. Once the smoke finally cleared, she wasn't anywhere to be found. It's her most creative escape yet, to be honest."
Jean-Pierre, who is a historic figure and a woman and black and gay, has struggled in recent days to make it through heavy questioning about Hunter Biden's backroom business dealings. "She's running out of ideas for ducking questions," said a source within the White House. "She already ignored questions to give a sales presentation for essential oils. The next day, she brought a cute little puppy out from behind the podium as soon as a question was asked about Hunter. Now, it's the Batman smoke bomb thing. We're wondering what she'll come up with next."
At publishing time, Jean-Pierre had reportedly met with President Biden and his handlers to ask how difficult it would be to find another missing submersible they could implode.

[Self Reliance Central] Here’s what Tom’s tweet says:
The more we learn about the 2020 election, the more undeniable it becomes that Biden owes his "victory" to blatant political corruption. To wit:
1) An IRS probe into the Bidens money laundering payments from hostile nations — the normal outcome of which would have ended his candidacy — was instead given a stand-down order
2) The FBI & IRS wanted to search Biden’s house in September 2020 but were given a stand down order.
3) The FBI authenticated Hunter’s laptop a year before the NYPost first reported on its contents
4) Rather than use the laptop’s voluminous documentation of myriad felonies to initiate criminal investigations, the FBI hatched a plot to warn social media companies of an imminent "hack & leak" operation of what they heavily suggested was Russian disinformation
5) The FBI used its 2016 Russia collusion probe — which the Durham probe has since proven was essentially an extension of the Clinton campaign — to rationalize its meddling in the 2020 election.
6) The FBI also conducted an influence operation with various reporters at major newspapers to convince them that forthcoming damaging reporting about Biden that they knew was true was in fact not
7) The FBI was spying on Giuliani when he shared the laptop’s contents with the NYPost
8) When the FBI told Twitter & Facebook a Russian disinformation campaign was coming, they had already concluded Russia wasn’t trying to game the election
9) In their attempt to corroborate their own rumor of Russian electoral influence, the FBI became aggressive with its demands for user data from Twitter, eventually getting shutdown for seeking users’ private info without a warrant
10) Nonetheless, in the preceding years, the FBI established a beachhead inside Twitter, with an operations center of former agents who communicated via their own dedicated slack channel. These ex-agents included Jim Baker, the FBI’s former top counsel who played a central role in the FBI’s Trump/Russia scam, as well as Comey’s former chief of staff, Dawn Burton, who started the FBI’s Russia collusion probe.
11) The CIA, in collusion with the Biden campaign, seeded disinformation claiming the laptop was itself Russian disinformation. The major media used this as a pretext to avoid reporting on its contents and instead attack those who were.
12) The FBI also arranged a meeting with Sens. Grassley & Johnson about supposed Russian disinformation & Hunter Biden.
13) The FBI then used this briefing with the senators to justify quashing their own agents’ probe into the Bidens’ corruption.
14) When the story broke mere weeks before the election — one that polling later indicated would have altered enough Democrat votes to send Trump to a second term — Twitter & Facebook orchestrated an unprecedented & anti-democratic mass censorship campaign.
15) When Twitter initially resisted censoring the story, it was Jim Baker who convinced them to do so (despite the FBI having known for a year the informartion was true).
16) In December 2020, after the operation’s success and Biden’s "victory," the FBI agents working at & with Twitter celebrated the outcome.
17) The FBI subsequently paid Twitter $3.5 million for the staff hours expended on their influence operations.
18) At the time Trump was being impeached for asking Ukraine to investigate Biden’s alleged corruption in Ukraine, the FBI & IRS already knew the Bidens had indeed laundered more than $10 million from Burisma, via fake companies and dozens of bank accounts, while at the same time VP Biden had used U.S. aid as leverage in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma fired.
P.S. And that’s to say nothing of Democrats orchestrating a state-by-state campaign to change voting rules to enable the widespread adoption of voting boxes ... Left-wing activist groups, funded in part by Facebook, facilitated the exploitation of these drop-off boxes on behalf of the Democratic Party. That part may not have been illegal since they simply changed the rules, but it’s especially shady since it was done alongside federal health agencies then-knowingly overstating the threat of Covid, which was used as the rationale for the change of rules in the first place.
P.P.S. And this is just what we know despite the feds’ best efforts. Imagine how much we don’t.

Given the names and positions that openly violate US Laws, tear-up the Constitution and Bill Of Rights for their LSD agenda. Will THE CITIZENS of the United States ever see real TOP LEVEL arrests, indictments and imprisonment of those DC Swampers & their $$$$$ donor funding elites.

The biggest problem is, the people telling us that we're wrong and it was all on the up and up are also corrupt.
Kind of a closed loop. Alternate viewpoints need not apply.

This is, itself, a disinformation campaign. Voting is compromised at the vote collection, counting and reporting stages. So long as Maricopa County can report whatever numbers it needs to elect the Democrat none of the rest of the process is material.
Shafaq News thought this CNN report important enough for its Iraqi readers to give it page space.
The 2024 presidential primaries are in full swing. President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... is the overhelming favorite for the Democratic nomination. Former President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... remains the clear front-runner for the Republican nod.

Some third party candidates would spice things up. Too bad Gary Coleman and the guy who was The Rent Is Too High Party are both dead. Maybe Kucinich will drag his walker back on stage seeing that this one shapes up to be a senior’s tour.

Army Integrated Air and Missile Defense (AIAMD) integrates current and future Air and Missile Defense (AMD) Sensors, Weapons, and Mission Command technologies into an Integrated Fire Control System, provides a single air picture, increases defended area, and provides flexibility in systems deployment. The Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS) is the fire control and operational center capability that provides greater defense effectiveness than what can be provided in the current single sensor fire unit construct. IBCS develops composite tracks from sensor measurement data provided by each sensor in the task force and develops weapon firing solutions based off the composite track data. This method provides a more accurate target track and more weapon battlespace than current systems can provide. The IBCS provides a common engagement operations center and data sharing capability for all echelons of Army AMD, through all domains of military operations.
