PUTIN MOTORCADE ENROUTE TO KREMLIN - MIDNIGHT MOSCOW TIME

 

V. Putin in the Kremlin: Emergency meeting of the Duma on Ukraine - Attempted assassination of the President of the Russian Parliament

Information also on the disconnection of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear plant

Late at night the president of Russia, B. Putin, rushed to the Kremlin. The Russian parliament has announced that it will hold a special session on Thursday and soon after will issue a special statement on Ukraine.

Russian officials are talking about a "tough statement", probably an ultimatum, to the West. The message from the Council of the State Duma will be addressed to the UN and all international parliamentary organizations.

At the same time, a little while ago, Russian media published an incident that had been hidden here for 48 hours. The Russians are talking about an attempt to assassinate the chairman of the State Duma with US MLRS HIMARS during his transit to Donetsk

?Other information states that the Russian parliament will discuss the "threat to the safety of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant". However, other movements related to the murder of Daria Dugina and the involvement of foreign countries should not be excluded, as reported by Moscow.

Moscow recently accused Kyiv of launching strikes at the Zaporizhia nuclear plant, which is located in territory controlled by Russian forces but still operated by Ukrainian personnel.

Kyiv has denied bombing Europe's largest nuclear power plant, and says Russia is planning a "provocation" there to justify further aggression.

Russia's defense ministry said last week it could shut down the plant if the bombing continues.

Extraordinary meeting of the State Duma – Tough announcement expected

The State Duma (Parliament) of the Russian Federation will convene for an extraordinary Council on August 25. During the meeting, the Duma will issue a special statement on the situation in Ukraine, said the leader of the Party of Justice – For Truth Sergei Mironov.

"The leaders of the factions will meet again together with the president and at around 15:00 we will convene the Council of the Duma, in which our tough statement will be approved, " the politician told reporters after a meeting with State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin.

According to Mironov, the message from the Council of the State Duma will be addressed to the UN and all international parliamentary organizations.

Earlier, the leader of the Communist Party Gennady Zyuganov announced the need for an emergency council of the State Duma in connection with the situation in Ukraine and the crisis surrounding the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

Attempted assassination of the President of the State Duma with US involvement

A little later, Russian media revealed that there was an assassination attempt against the chairman of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin.

Specifically, they report that on Tuesday, August 23, Viacheslav Volodin visited Donetsk. This is not his first visit to the frontline territories: earlier, on July 14, the Speaker of the State Duma traveled to neighboring Lugansk and met with local MPs and leaders.

Speaking at the last session of the winter-spring session of the Duma, Volodin called on the deputies to take advantage of the holidays to personally visit Donbass, familiarize themselves with the situation and, if necessary, help their own constituents (to date, approx. one million Donbas residents have received Russian citizenship).

Then the Russians proceed with the revelation, involving the USA as well. They specifically mention:

"The visit was, one might say, routine. Along with the President of the State Duma, four heads of the competent parliamentary committees arrived. Working meeting with the head of Donetsk, Denis Pushilin, communication with the deputies of the People's Council of the republic... There were also local administration officials and journalists in the meeting room. 

An important detail: the events were held in the building of the Donetsk Administration. And about seven minutes after the end, immediately after Volodin left, enemy shells hit the premises where he had just spoken.

Later, representatives of the republic, having studied the fragments of ammunition, announced that the missiles were fired from American MLRS Himars.

It is noteworthy that there have been no strikes on the Donetsk administrative building since 2014 throughout the war.

Also, "by a strange accident" enemy shells hit the local hotel, where such delegations usually stay.

Let's not hide that the bombing, from which our MPs were literally saved by a miracle, excited many. However, inter-parliamentary cooperation with Donbass will continue in any case.

As Vyacheslav Volodin said in an interview with journalists, slots are being opened in Donbas so that people's deputies can work directly with the residents of the liberated areas.

Russian plan to disconnect the Zaporizhia nuclear plant from the grid

A detailed plan has been drawn up by Russia to disconnect Europe's largest nuclear plant from Ukraine's electricity grid, risking catastrophic failure of its cooling systems, British media reported.

Petro Kotin, the head of Ukraine's atomic energy company, told the Guardian in an interview that Russian engineers had already drawn up a contingency plan

“They presented [the plan] to the factory [workers] and the [factory workers] presented it to us. A condition for this plan is major damage to all lines connecting the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant to the Ukrainian system, " Kotin said in an interview on Wednesday.

He added that he fears that the Russian military is now targeting these connections to make the emergency scenario a reality.

"Once they started doing that, they started all the bombing, just to take those lines out, " Kotin said.

The plant's power connections are already in critical condition, with three of the four main lines connecting it to Ukraine's grid cut during the war and two of the three back-up lines connecting it to a conventional power plant to also be out of order, he said.

Russia's plan to completely disconnect it would increase the risk of a catastrophic failure by leaving it dependent on a single source of electricity to cool the reactors.

"You can't just jump from one system to another, you have to ... shut everything down on one side and then start changing on the other side," he said.

During a shift between grid systems, the unit will only depend on a backup diesel generator, with no other options in case it fails. After 90 minutes without power the reactors will reach a dangerous temperature.

"During this disconnection, the plant will not be connected to any power supply and that is the reason for the danger," he said. "If you fail to provide cooling… for an hour and a half, then you will already have melted."

FLASH: PUTIN MOTORCADE ENROUTE TO KREMLIN - MIDNIGHT MOSCOW TIME


Something big seems to have happened.  The Presidential motorcade of Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin has been seen moving at very high speed to the Kremlin.   It is now about 3:00 AM in Moscow.  The motorcade was video recorded about three hours ago, so around Midnight, Moscow time.

Video below is from the streets of Moscow showing the Presidential motorcade, with police escort/flashing lights, moving at high speed . . . 

 UPDATE  8:16 PM EDT --

The Russian Duma has called a "Special Meeting" . . .

The last time that happened, was February 23, one day before the Special Military Operation in Ukraine began.

RUMORS and SPECULATION are running rampant.   Intel circuits fearing Duma to either Declare Ukraine a "state sponsor of terrorism" or . . . .

Duma may  formally declare . . . . something much worse.

The Destruction Of Largest European Data Center

There is a lot happening and I do not have the energy to dive in right now so I am posting this 'as is' here. There are always some good leads to follow in these articles even if the conclusions are not 100% trustworthy. 

Biden Cyberattack Threat 

Against Russia Followed By 

Destruction Of Largest 

European Data Center


By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers

A concerning new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting the cyberattack threat made by Supreme Socialist Leader Joe Biden against the Russian Federation, that President Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to by declaring “This is nothing but international cybercrime”, says before any more of these types of threats are made, Biden would do well to focus his attention on the SBG2 Data Center and its over 30,000 computer servers in Strasbourg-France—with particular attention being focused on the total fiery destruction of this largest in Europe data center yesterday that cut off service to nearly all of the world’s most popular websites—the cause of which has yet to be determined.

While the ashes of this vital Western data center are still being sifted through, troubling new articles are appearing like “Joe Biden Is The Commander In Hiding”, “Mexico Alarmed As ‘Migrant President’ Biden Empowers TRAFFICKERS By Encouraging Illegal Immigration” and “Military Agrees To Keep Thousands Of National Guard Troops At US Capitol For Weeks To Protect Corrupt Democrats Who Are Terrified Of The American People”—the latter of which was responded to by top Republican Party leader US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who grimly observed: “I'm extremely uncomfortable with the fact that my constituents can't come to the Capitol...With all this razor wire around the complex, it reminds me of my last visit to Kabul...I just checked earlier this morning and there are no serious threats against the Capitol...It looks terrible to have the beacon of our democracy surrounded by razor wire and National Guard troops”.

With it being easier for Americans to visit the Kremlin than their own capitol city, the terror being exhibited by socialist Democrats against them is justified after they slammed these citizens yesterday with a COVID stimulus price tag of $17,000 per person and $69,000 per family—further slammed them with $60-billion in new taxes they secreted into this bill—also saw socialist Democrats sneaking into this bill an $86-billion bailout for corrupt union pension funds—though for the true horror of what’s just happened sees it being explained in the just published Wall Street Journal article “The Progressive Democratic Steamroller”, that, in part, reveals:

The $1.9 trillion spending bill is only a taste of what’s coming

One lesson from the Covid non-fight is that there are no Democratic moderates in Congress.

The party base has moved so sharply left that even swing-state Members are more liberal than many liberals in the Clinton years.

Democrats lost not a single vote in the Senate and only one in the House.  The fear of primary challenges from the left, which took out House war horses in 2018 and 2020, has concentrated incumbent minds.

A second lesson is that President Biden is no moderating political force.

Democrats in the House and Senate are setting the agenda, and Mr. Biden is along for the ride, and the media are marching in lockstep support of whatever Democrats want.

Confirming this analysis of what is soon to come were socialist Democrats in the US House this week passing the most radical pro-union labor bill since the 1935 Wagner Act that would erase right-to-work laws in 27 States—that was quickly joined by warning articles appearing like “Here Come Trillions More: Biden Will Unveil "Next Phase" Of COVID Response On Thursday”—sees socialist Democrats advancing their bill to strip the American people of their gun rights, which caused Republican Party leader US Congressman Chip Roy to declare: “The Government Is Never Going to Know What Weapons I Own”—and most ominously sees socialist Democrats advancing their law to destroy the entire election system so they can never lose, which Republican Party leader US Senator Mike Lee describes as “Written in Hell by The Devil Himself”, and his sounding the alarm about socialist Democrats if this bill ever passes: “They Could Remain In Power For Decades”.

All of which leads to one wonder why these Americans can never remember their own history, specifically because everything these socialist Democrats are doing now they did in the 1960s—which was when radical socialist warmonger President Lyndon Johnson led his socialist Democrats in the remaking of their nation into what they called the “Great Society”—which in reality led to the socialist destruction of mainly minority families who were forced to become wards of the state for generations, but remained loyal Democrat Party voters as was intended—saw these socialist Democrats enacting their Voting Rights Act of 1965 to ensure their grip on total power—saw these socialist Democrats enacting their Gun Control Act of 1968, that they copied verbatim from the gun laws enacted by Nazi Germany—then saw these socialist Democrats enacting their Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, which expanded the American police state and filled up to overflowing its nation’s prisons.

As socialists have always done, this radical remaking of America in the 1960s was only able to be accomplished by keeping its citizens’ attention diverted by actual war and the threat of war—the first accomplished by the Vietnam War, and then second by the Cold War—saw Republican Party leader President Richard Nixon ending the Vietnam War, after which the socialist Democrats drove him from power—then saw Republican Party leader President Ronald Reagan ending the Cold War, which is why he’s still reviled by socialist Democrats.

A history if fully understood by Americans would show them why President Donald Trump absolutely had to be driven from office by any means possible—and with this now being accomplished, once again sees these socialist Democrats remaking America again like they did in the 1960s, to include them preparing to use war and the threat of war as a distraction—which is why a new military airfield is rapidly being built on a highly strategic island in the Red Sea in reach of the entire Middle East—is why a nuclear armed US aircraft carrier group is rapidly deploying itself in the Mediterranean—is why the US and NATO are unleashing their dangerous new strategy against Russia—and is why the head of  the US Indo-Pacific Command Admiral Philip Davidson said this week “China looks like it is planning for war”.

Unlike in the 1960s, however, both Russia and Communist China are prepared for the false flag event these socialist Democrats will use to ignite this war—though the same cannot be said about the American people, none of whom remember Operation Northwoods, which was the 1960s socialist American government plan to fake terrorist attacks on the US that President John Kennedy refused to allow, then saw him being publically executed—and if remembering, would see them trembling in fear because these are exact same socialist forces back in total control of their nation.  [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]

Putin Warns Against US 'Retaliation' For SolarWinds Hack

 It is very hard to ascertain what really is happening. Last night there were reports of ACTUAL cyberattacks on Russian targets.

"Pure International Cybercrime": Putin Warns Against US 'Retaliation' For SolarWinds Hack

Zero Hedge,

10 March, 2021


Russian President Vladimir Putin has reacted fiercely to the contents of a report in the The New York Times this week that cited unnamed senior admin officials to say the White House is preparing a series of devastating cyberattacks on Russia as 'retaliation' for the SolarWinds hack.

A spokesman for the Russian presidency, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters on Tuesday that the "alarming information" would constitute a "pure international cybercrime" and is thus condemned under international law.

"The Russian state has never had anything to do with cybercrimes and cyberterrorism it is being accused of," Peskov emphasized.

Via Sputnik/Kremlin

Specifically addressing the NY Times report further, Peskov added, "the fact that the newspaper doesn’t rule out that the American state could be involved in cybercrime, is definitely of great concern to us.”

Amazingly, the anonymous Biden admin officials revealed to the Times that a "series of clandestine actions across Russian networks" are expected to start within the next three weeks.

The cyber-operations will by design seek to get Putin and Russian intelligence's attention while being concealed from the broader public when it occurs, the NYT report said.

Detailing the Kremlin's condemnation and warning against any such cyber espionage, US News & World Report writes: 

He spoke in response to a series of claims from U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and FBI Director Christopher Wray, that they are considering harsh punishments on Russia for the attack, including overt sanctions and some form of covert salvos in the cyber realm. Wray hinted at the action in testimony before Congress this month, saying the U.S. was preparing cyber "joint sequenced operations."

Multiple US intelligence agencies had issued a rare joint statement in the wake of the SolarWinds intrusion, saying it was "likely" Russia behind it, though without offering evidence or specific intelligence verification of the allegation.

However, it's since been confirmed that SolarWinds has largely faulted its own severe security lapses, including the fact that an update server's password was literally "solarwinds123" - which had been leaked by an employee online beginning years ago, according to prior Congressional testimony.

Massive Cyber-Attack Hits Russia; U.S.A. Suspected

Hal Turner,

10 March, 2021


Russia has announced it is being hit with what they call a "massive" cyber-attack.  

The websites of the http://Kremlin.ru, Roskomnadzor, and the Russian government, have gone down following the announcement.

It comes after reports the US was preparing a retaliation cyber attack against Russia. White House officials told the New York Times that the first major move is expected over the next three weeks and that the Government was planning a ‘series of clandestine actions across Russian networks’.

Sources said the actions would be less evident to outsiders but would send a clear signal to President Vladimir V. Putin and his officials. They added that cyber attacks could be combined with more economic sanctions. President Joe Biden is also expected to sign an executive order to strengthen government networks to crack down on the escalating cyberconflict.

Russia’s state communications watchdog Roskomnadzor said on Wednesday it was restricting the use of Twitter by slowing down its speed.

Official web sites of the Russian President, Duma, Federation Council, others, are paralyzed.

Is this execution of the threat recently issued via the New York Times?

But the Times talked about something that would be invisible to outsiders.

Major development anyway.


This is the NY Times article



https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/07/us/politics/microsoft-solarwinds-hack-russia-china.html


Russian officials have demanded Washington categorically rule out acts of cyberterrorism against the country, after Western media reported the US was mulling digital “retaliation” for a colossal hacker attack it blames on Moscow.

On Sunday, The New York Times claimed that President Joe Biden’s government was considering tough new actions over the SolarWinds scandal, which came to light last year. American state networks were penetrated by hackers as part of that breach, which the US blames on Russia.

Despite official denials from the Kremlin, the White House is reportedly planning a fiery response. “The first major move is expected over the next three weeks,” officials told the Times, “with a series of clandestine actions across Russian networks that are intended to be evident to President Vladimir Putin and his intelligence services and military but not to the wider world.”

On Tuesday, Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said that “the fact that the newspaper doesn’t rule out that the American state could be involved in cybercrime, is definitely of great concern to us.”

Peskov added that "the Russian state has never had anything to do with the cybercrimes and cyberterrorism it is being accused of."

On Wednesday, a number of commenters and journalists speculated that US hackers had begun a campaign against the country, after a series of official websites were taken offline. The homepages of the Kremlin, the national parliament and the country’s media regulator were all hit by the outage.

However, Rostelecom, the agency responsible for maintaining internet access in the country, said that the problem was actually down to a technical error. “There was a malfunction of equipment,” it announced. “The problem is localized.” The sites appeared to function normally shortly afterwards.

Earlier on Wednesday, Russia’s media regulator announced it had begun slowing down the speed of US social media giant Twitter for users in the country. Roskomnadzor announced that this was because the company “does not remove content that incites minors to commit suicide, contains child pornography or information about the use of drugs.”


Meanwhile...


Twitter users in Russia are about to find it takes longer to share their thoughts online, as authorities start slowing the service's connection speeds amid a row over illegal content hosted by the US-based social media giant.

Communications regulator Roskomnadzor issued a statement on Wednesday morning announcing the decision, which it says is because Twitter “does not remove content that incites minors to commit suicide, contains child pornography or information about the use of drugs.”

The watchdog claims it has sent more than 28,000 requests for posts, links and publications to be deleted or blocked on the platform. However, at present, “3,168 pieces of content containing prohibited information… remain not deleted.” These reportedly include more than 2,500 calls for children to kill themselves and 450 involving child pornography.


In my opinion, you'd have to be some sort of sick liberal to disagree with him.
