IDF knew of Hamas’s plan to kidnap 250 before October 7 attack — report

A newly surfaced document has revealed that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and intelligence systems had detailed knowledge of Hamas’s plan to raid Israel and kidnap 250 people weeks before the October 7 massacre.

The document, which was compiled in the Gaza Division, outlined Hamas’s intentions and was known to top intelligence officials, according to a report by Kan News.

The document, titled “Detailed End-to-End Raid Training,” was distributed on September 19, 2023, and described in detail the series of exercises conducted by Hamas’s elite units.

These exercises included raiding military posts and kibbutzim (collective communities in Israel), kidnapping soldiers and civilians, and maintaining the hostages once they were in the Gaza Strip.

The report by Kan News stated, “Security sources told Kan News that the document was known to the intelligence leadership, at the very least in the Gaza Division.”

IDF knew and so did USA. Beyond obvious it was a MIHOP attack to justify what we are seeing today in Gaza. 10/7 was a bold, violent act that forces people to take sides. I want to say it’s Bronze Age mentality, which it is, but the Silicon Age has been no better. Allowing your own people to be attacked and killed is a KOBK strategy which forces a decisive outcome. KOBK ultimately lies at the heart of human instinct. ABN

Why Do Brits Hate Russians? — Israel Shamir

Britain is the world leader in anti-Russian politics. The Brits hate Putin and zealously encourage the Ukies to fight their Russian cousins to the last drop of blood. The Russians and the Ukies were ready to sign a deal in February 2022, until British PM Johnson arrived in Kiev to convince the Ukies to drop it. And so they did. Ever since then, the Brits have been the leading force pushing the Ukies to fight, and convincing NATO members to help them fight. The Brits are leading the global anti-Russian campaign. These are the facts. However, the explanation of these facts evaded me until now.

Recently a promising young reporter called Dood (or maybe Doodj), spoke to a leader of the Russian pro-Western opposition, the runaway ex-oligarch Michael Chodorkovsky [Mikhail Khodorkovsky]. Mr Ch has been relegated to the shadows and margins of history, though once upon a time he was the richest tycoon in Russia, and one of the wealthiest men in the world. Now he is worth just below one billion dollars, peanuts as oligarchs count.

He was one of the Dirty Seven [semiboyarshina] oligarchs who seized control of Russia during Yeltsin’s feeble rule. They all were more or less Jewish, and their solidarity and destructiveness could only compete with their ruthlessness and greed. Many of my friends consider Zionists to be apex predators, while Jews are cute and furry prey. They are mistaken – these seven Russian oligarchs were not Zionists, they were just Jews out to destroy everything in their way. These seven men practically destroyed millennium-old Russia. They pauperised its people, reduced its industry to ashes, they sold the factories for scrap; they stole all private bank holdings. They even ruined Russian democracy when they shelled Parliament in 1993 using Yeltsin’s tanks, and then, with the assistance of American advisors, by faking the re-election of President Yeltsin in 1996.

Like locusts attacking a tree, each Jewish oligarch took over a different branch: Mr Berezovsky went after the auto industry, and Russia stopped producing cars; Mr Gusinsky seized television, and turned it into offensive propaganda; Mr Chubais managed the world’s largest transfer of wealth since 1917. Mr Chodorkovsky took over all of Russia’s oil and gas. Everywhere they stole all they could steal, built yachts and palaces, mocking ordinary Russians by their conspicuous consumption. Their official rule ended sometime after 2005 when Mr Berezovsky convinced Yeltsin to pass his reign over to young Mr Putin, and then Mr Putin told the oligarchs to stay away from the state or else. Mr Ch laughed and said he will get rid of Putin. Putin put him into jail and nationalised the oligarch’s mammoth Lukoil oil company. Ten years later, Mr Ch was allowed to leave and so he did. Russian oil is still in the hands of the Russian state, and it still remains the basis of Russian prosperity.

Now, in a recent interview, Mr Ch revealed to a young reporter that the real owner of Lukoil was the late Lord Rothschild, who just (Feb 24) passed away at the ripe old age of 89. It was quite a surprise, to find out that the old Jew was still quick enough to pocket all of Russia’s oil as he was kicking out the godless communists. We Russians actually did hear such a rumour as it was happening, but we did not take it seriously at the time. Blaming “Rothschild” is like blaming “Lizard People”; an antisemitic trope. There is no such person in real life, I thought. But after the publication of Doodj’s video, I looked back in the Times archives and found that it was not a fiction:

So it was known even then, but I (and others) could not believe it at the time. Even now, we tend to discount antisemitic facts along with the antisemitic tropes that flood the Internet.

But this is the key to why the Brits are so keen to undermine Russia. Lord Rothschild is as British as 5 o’clock tea. The Brits can have an Indian PM, a Paki Lord Mayor of London, and Ghurkhas as their elite troops, but the Bank of England belongs to the Jews. Englishmen are just miners to keep Lord Rothschild’s global bank running tickety-boo. And Jews are famous for keeping control of whatever has passed through their clutches. Even the Royal Family became quasi-Jewish: they circumcise their boys and believe they are descendants of King David.

Col Macgregor analysis of Western failure in Ukraine and beyond

Strong words from Macgregor. His analysis is reasonable but it’s based on the ‘incompetence’ of the Western elite, the same elite who managed to seize control of the entire West. So, are they really incompetent? Or do they have a plan and possibly a superweapon to ensure success of that plan? Notice this same elite allowed the 10/07 attack in Israel to happen and then escalated into a regional war (still ongoing) based on that, something Macgregor never mentions or fears to mention. This same elite is still driving ahead with NATO expansion and use of European troops in Ukraine as well as NATO weapons inside Russia. This same elite is playing with fire in China. It appears this elite wants WW3 because they believe or know they will prevail. How many billions will be killed is not something they care about. It’s part of the plan. This is KOBK, a morality ordinary people do not understand, which is why we are always baffled by their behavior. ABN

At this stage, European corporations have bought more land in Western Ukraine than the Russians have taken on the East side, while Ukrainians find themselves in a debt trap

The planned annihilation of Ukraine (note the 2021 changed land sale law and the 2014 color revolution) foreshadows the planned annihilation of Europe. ABN

NATO Kicks Off Massive Baltic Drills As Biden Affirms US Weapons ‘Now Being Used Inside Russia’

In the shadow of the Russia-Ukraine war, and right next door, NATO has kicked off its massive annual military exercises in the Baltic Sea. “Baltic Operations 24” is about to be in full swing, kicking off formally on Friday, and involves over 9,000 personnel and more than 50 ships and 85 aircraft, comprising 20 countries

Crucially, NATO’s newest admittee Sweden is part of the drills as a full member state. The Kremlin is watching closely given the obviously surging regional tensions which has increasingly seen all of Europe put on a war footing. 

US military magazine Stripes states that it will feature “amphibious, gunnery, anti-submarine, air defense and mine clearance operations, according to a statement from U.S. 6th Fleet and Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO, or STRIKEFORNATO. Explosive ordnance disposal, unmanned underwater and surface vehicle exercises, and medical response scenarios also are planned.”

To be expected, the exercises are being led to by the country which has from the start dominated NATO’s course and strategy: the United States – with Naval Forces Europe-Africa/6th Fleet and commanded by STRIKEFORNATO, headquartered in Oeiras, Portugal – having charge over the operations. There have been a series of similar major drills since January, but this one comes as US-Russia tensions have reached a new height, given the Biden administration’s resent greenlight for Kiev to use American weapons to strike inside Russian territory.

Leaked Russian Documents Reveal Deep Concern Over Chinese Aggression

In a fascinating report, Max Seddon and Chris Cook of the Financial Times reveal how Russia might use nuclear weapons to roll back Chinese aggression. Their story, built off of leaked secret documents, confirms Russia’s deep and longstanding concern that a revitalized China might try to annex Russia’s eastern territories.

Given that China and Russia declared a friendship “without limits,” a few years ago, the prospect of a nuclear exchange between the two neighbors may seem unlikely to a casual Western observer. But Russia is acutely aware that border friendships can change quickly. The last time China and the Soviet Union signed a friendship treaty, the two countries were, within twenty years, embroiled in a nasty border conflict.

China’s actions across Asia has shown the country has a long memory for past slights and long-standing territorial losses. Expansion-minded Chinese nationalists, coupled with China’s increasing contempt for Russian military weakness, are quite capable of harnessing China’s resentments over past defeats to turn on their diminished client state to the north.

Moscow knows this, and it is taking great pains to deter Chinese adventurism. Even with Russia’s Army overextending itself in Ukraine, Russia exercised nuclear-capable Iskander missiles twice last year in “regions bordering China.”

Putin gives first official idea of Russian losses since start of SMO, + more from the SPIEF

Yesterday at the official SPIEF (St. Petersburg International Economic Forum) Putin gave an extremely revealing 3-hour long open round table with foreign journalists. I will do a break down of some of the most interesting clips and soundbites, though you can see the entire important meeting here.

But first let’s cover the most interesting of the revelations:

The Russian MOD stopped listing official losses sometime around May of 2022, likely after it became obvious that the conflict would drag on and the losses would grow to an unsuitably painful degree.

Now at the SPIEF, Putin gave the first indication since that time of Russian losses when he stated that Russia loses 1 soldier for every 5 Ukrainian ones, as well as giving an exact figure for POWs, which he states as follows:

There are 1,348 #Russian soldiers and officers in captivity in #Ukraine, and 6,465 such #Ukrainian in #Russia, #Putin said.

There is a lot to digest and unpack here, so let’s do it one thing at a time.

Let’s first spell out exactly what he says:

  • Ukraine loses 50,000 men per month, both irrecoverable and sanitary losses, i.e. total casualties included wounded, KIA, etc.
  • The ratio of their wounded to irrecoverable/KIA is 50/50, which means out of 50k, 25k of them are actually irrecoverable losses. (note: this is a high proportion to wounded because of Ukraine’s comparative lack of battlefield medicine which causes far more wounded to die, not to mention Russia’s usage of powerful airstrikes/bombs which proportionally simply kills far more soldiers outright)
  • Ukraine mobilizes 30,000 new men per month from the street.
  • The ratio between Russian and Ukrainian losses is 1:5 in favor of Russia.
  • The ratio of POWs is 1,348 to 6,465 in favor of Russia.

Ukraine President Zelensky allegedly using US funds for luxury acquisitions, including hundreds of millions spent in purchasing a hotel and casino worth over $191 million. 

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has allegedly been using US funds sent to the country for luxury acquisitions, including hundreds of millions spent in purchasing a hotel and casino worth over $191 million. 

According to Turkish website OdaTV, Zelensky is rumored to have purchased the Vuni Palace hotel and casino in Northern Cyprus.

President of Cyprus Nikos Christodoulides states an investigation is underway. 

According to reports, Belize-registered Film Heritage Inc. acquired the hotel for £150 million ($191 million), although this report has since been deleted. 

Film Heritage Inc. which was originally owned by Zelensky, as revealed in an October 2021 investigation by OCCRP.

Olena Zelenskaya became the sole owner of the company around the time of Zelensky’s election in 2019. 

The appearance of “Film Heritage Inc” in the Turkish press has been explained by the Oscar Group’s spokesperson as the company having developed the casino’s website. 

Previous investigations revealed a network of firms based in the British Virgin Islands, Belize, and Cyprus linked to Zelensky and his partners, suggesting efforts to conceal offshore assets. 

Reports also allege that Zelensky has made luxury purchases, including a $35 million house in Florida, two luxury yachts, and a UK mansion previously owned by King Charles III. 

US and EU politicians have expressed concerns on the transparency of Kiev’s use of multi-billion-dollar funding.

Ukraine Strikes Russia With Western Weapons

BREAKING: Ukraine Strikes Russia With Western Weapons.. -NY TIMES
Here we go!


Just shortly following the Biden administration’s authorization for Ukraine to employ American weaponry against Russia, Kyiv swiftly acted on this newfound liberty by targeting a military installation across the border, utilizing a U.S.-manufactured artillery system, as indicated by a member of Ukraine’s Parliament.


Yehor Chernev, the deputy chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament’s committee on national security, defense, and intelligence, disclosed on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces had successfully neutralized Russian missile launchers with a strike in the Belgorod region, approximately 20 miles into Russian territory.


The operation employed a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), he affirmed.


This marks the inaugural instance of a Ukrainian official openly acknowledging the use of American weaponry to engage targets within Russia subsequent to President Biden’s rescindment of the prohibition on such actions.

Revealed – NATO plan to get US troops to the front lines to fight RUSSIA: Alliance prepares for rapid deployment of American soldiers to provoke Moscow while plotting major war in Europe

NATO is drawing up plans to send American troops to the frontlines of Europe in the event of an all-out conflict with Russia, it has been revealed.

New ‘land corridors’ are being carved out to quickly funnel soldiers through central Europe without local bureaucratic impediments, allowing NATO forces to pounce in an instant should Putin‘s devastating war in Ukraine move further west.

The plans are said to include contingencies in case of Russian bombardment, letting troops sweep into the Balkans via corridors in ItalyGreece and Turkey, or towards Russia’s northern border via Scandinavia, officials told The Telegraph.

Tensions have ratcheted up in recent weeks, with Russian President Vladimir Putin openly acknowledging the ‘possibility’ of ‘a full-scale Third World War’ as he threatens ‘fatal consequences‘ for western allies allowing Ukraine use of their weapons on Russian soil.

Lebanese report: Israel to declare war in the near future

The Lebanese Al Akhbar newspaper, which is affiliated with the Hezbollah terror group, on Tuesday morning reported that in recent days, a number of diplomatic messages have arrived in Beirut, containing warnings regarding an impending war with Israel.

Hezbollah has been launching both missiles and UAVs at northern Israel since October 7, 2023, and Israel has responded by retaliated in a precise and controlled fashion, targeting Hezbollah military infrastructure and senior terrorists.

Sources told Al Akhbar that most representatives of international delegations have expressed concern at the severity of the Israeli threat, but the most significant messages come from the British, who estimate that Israel will attack mid-June. The British also advised preparing for a war of unknown scope or length.

Former Lebanese minister Walid Jumblatt said that during his most recent visit to Qatar he heard concerns regarding Israel’s intentions in Lebanon. Qatari officials expressed worry that Israel is not interested in a ceasefire in Gaza, despite the US efforts to achieve one.

US State Department Forced Scott Ritter Off Plane to Russia, Confiscated His Passport

Ritter was slated to participate in the annual St.Petersburg International Economic Forum as a guest speaker.

“As I was boarding my flight out of New York I was pulled aside by three CBP officers, who seized my passport. When asked why, they said orders of the State Department. No further information was provided. My bags were removed from the flight, and I was escorted out of the airport,” the former US Marine intelligence officer told Sputnik.

Scott Ritter added that his passport was not given back. He said he will appeal the decision.

Ritter believes US authorities are afraid of his participation in the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

As Ukrainian casualties soar, EU will move to conscript European youth to fight, warns Hungarian FM

Ukraine’s high causality rates combined with its struggle to conscript its own population means the EU will increasingly move to conscript European youth, mostly in the geographical proximity of Ukraine, to fight against Russia, said Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó following a meeting with EU foreign ministers.

“Ukrainian casualties are becoming more and more unbearable, Ukrainian men are not being allowed out of Ukraine, and now they want to conscript European youth into the war. And obviously, as the escalation hits this neighborhood first, one can almost clearly hear the argument that the soldiers should be sent from the geographical proximity first. All this means that they want to send Central European youth, including Hungarian youth, to the war with mandatory European conscription,” said Szijjártó during an interview with Hungarian media.

Szijjártó did not disclose which foreign ministers or member states are exploring the possibility of a European conscription effort, but recently, several countries have said they would consider sending their own troops to Ukraine if Russia had a breakthrough on the Ukrainian front, including France and more recently, the Baltic states.

However, a long-term goal of the left-liberal establishment in Brussels is the creation of an EU military force, including removing the decision-making process about defense from member states and centralizing it in Brussels. Under such a proposal, a potential conscription effort could arise that applies to all EU member states.

If this happens, the fate of Europe and probably Russia will follow that of Ukraine (and Gaza). It seems most likely that annihilation of Europe and Russia is the goal and USA possesses a superweapon. ABN
