Crocus

Crocus concert hall in Russia just outside Moscow was attacked by 4 gunmen last Friday, who shot at random people in order to kill indiscriminately and then set fire on the building. The following smoke killed more people, than the shooters. Then the roof collapsed eventually, killing more. The latest number I saw: 133 people dead.

Questions and inconsistencies.

- The attack has lasted for ca 19 min. The closest riot police unit is located in 8 min ride from the place. Took ‘em 1.5 hour to arrive.
- The attack is deemed as a well-prepared and professional by experts. Looks like the terrorists knew the premises and what to do with their weapon. Yet their exit method raises a lot of questions. Like why did they get into the same vehicle after the attack? And then why it took several hours to spot them and stop? Why did they go to the Ukrainian (Belarusian) border that is under heavily surveillance because of the war, while Kazakhstani border is bloody totally transparent?

(In the middle of the escape calamity: how did they manage to set afire this enormous building? They didn’t have anything with them to cause it. Was any inflammable material placed in advance? How? By whom? And why didn’t water-sprinkling system react? Was it turned off? Was there any? Eh? Hallo?)

- The video of the captured gunmen raises a lot of questions too. Is it really a hardened ISIS fighter? Prepared to die for jihad? Eh?



It is Russian secret services’ major f*ck-off, no doubt. But on the other side: what would you expect. To investigate terrorist threats and prevent them takes one breed of men. To lift female anti-war protesters by their hair – that’s another. Guess, what type works for huilo?

There’s a concern, of course, in what way huilo is going to use this horrible event. The ghouls are talking about returning execution. The political prisoners, like Kara-Murza, Yashin, Chanysheva or Berkovich can be among the first.


By the way, did you see “Finist, the Bright Falcon”? It’s what Berkovich is arrested for. Here’s the link to the piece for an inquiring mind (translation in the right corner):

Not surprisingly Putin tried to blame the Ukrainians instead of ISIS, in fact it wouldn't surprise me if he did it himself in order to solidify support for his war.
This attack was horrific and unnecessary but I've just watched the court appearance of these insurgents and frankly it was horrific. Whatever happened to "innocent before being proved guilty."
that attack,who ever did it,will allow Putin to become Vlad The Impaler!
And it is also possible it is a False Flag,perpetrated by the FSB,like the ones that gave Poo-Tin the Justification to flatten Grozny and Chechnya in general!
" Whatever happened to "innocent before being proved guilty."

In Russia?? Nothing happened to it. Never.
I completely agree with you Conrad. This is the most likely scenario. you can see how the murder of Navalny, the rigged elections and the fact that Ukraine is transferring the war to the territory of the Russian Federation have faded into the background. The Kremlin is trying to show that it’s all not so important / That’s what’s important - the fight against terrorism. switching attention. Putin, frightened by the attacks on oil refineries and the transfer of the war to the territory of the Russian Federation, is now trying to play the card of international terrorism. And yes, terrorism is really scary thing but Russia is just a part of this international terrorism, like Iran, but not at all a victim of it.
I can see this being a positive for Putin...distracting the population from other events to focus in on terrorism...I wonder if this was allowed to happen?...at any rate this will make things easier for Putin to remain as leader...although poisoning and throwing a dissenter out of a window in a tall building is adequate enough for most to not oppose him...
Interestingly enough the US told Putin of this upcoming attack in a possible concert/arena...but brushed it off...not surprised though...
One of the alleged attacker was wheeled in to the court room unconscious...the others were badly beaten...
This I am sure is for the public to view as Putin needs a positive spin as a leader who is tough on terrorism...but it also shows that there are no rules...
Not only USA, that even mentioned "concerts" especially, but also Iran, putler's ally, warned about the attack. It looks like, that huilo didn't doubt information, but just let the even happen in order to use it for his benefit.

Now, it's known that large Russian towns cannot live without low-paid gastarbeiters, who do road cleaning, building, garbage removal, taxi and delivery cervices, etc. Russians themselves, in the large towns - there's a difference with the small once - don't want to do that job. Plus, the money, that the gastarbeiters send home, is a good part of their countries' income. Those countries don't want to lose it. Those countries are also the routes for huilo to circumvent the sanctions. A dilemma that this halv-bald intestinal worm is trying to solve with "Ukrainian trace". They stomped so hard over all other evidences, that only the "right" ones could remain.

Now, the evil tongues made it a fashion to call any trace "Ukrainian". Indeed, we had snow here the other day and a couple of magpies hopped over my tiny porch and left a lot of Ukrainian traces. Now gone after the heavy rain, of course, but the feeling remains.
There's nothing he can do to make his war popular. (Did you noticed, that you called it "his" war? It is.)

The thing is - and it makes me feel miserable - that the majority of Russian population would not mind a short victorious adventure, like Kiev in 3 days and the Eastern Ukraine in a week. (That's totally awful and I am sorry, that the country of my birth turned into that.) But no one wanted and still doesn't a long war. Have you noticed that they increased money reward for joining the army? For the depressed regions, like Dagestan, Tyva, Buryatia, it's a lot of money - it's more money that a man there can earn in his entire life - and still, they have difficulties with even filling the loses. The propaganda works 24/7, people live in misery, dissent utterly marginalized and prosecuted - and still they have difficulties with filling the gaps in the ranks. They force convicts, homeless, mentally ill including junkies, heavily indebted and other men, who actually in need of help and would get it in a human regimen...

If anyone even wondered about quality, motivation and discipline in such an army, you don't need to wonder anymore.

By the way, they have burned a couple of GULAG colonies due to the absence of inmates and arrested a few GULAG officers in order to send 'em to the war. Imagine a young lieutenant given command to a platoon of serial killers? They would just laugh. Another thing - a virtuhai: he is used to and they a used to. A working scheme.
You are from another planet.


And putler's Russia is a planet for itself.
All the OSINT groups I usually listen to, claim that it's Khorosan branch of Islamic state. And they even admitted the honer.

The only thing FSB did is that they did nothing. They - huilo - let it happen.

If you follow event in Russia, you could notice a riot policeman every 5 m along the road leading to the cemetery there Navalny was buried. Anything of the sort on an event with more than 6000 thousand people, after a multiple warnings about a terrorist attack? Nope.
Well... an unpopular opinion: while indeed Russia of the times of Soviet Union and now putler's Russia is a terrorist state, the Russian people... (wanted to write "who are not in the system", but living in Russia is being a part of the system)... hence, the Russian people, who are not directly part of the system, just ordinary citizens trying to survive, they are also victims of this terrorist state.

One of possible post- putinism scenario is picturing Russia falling in a several parts by ethnic or economical or climatic zones. And some evil tongues claim, that the Western countries (whatever it is) let the Ukrainian war continue, because they are afraid of dissolving of Russia.

Well... they were afraid of dissolving of USSR. Being afraid doesn't work.
Interesting that Islamists have claimed responsibility for the attacks but continually throws it back to Ukraine...

Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin acknowledged that the attack on the Crocus City Hall was carried out by "radical Islamists", but blamed the shooting on "those who are fighting Russia with the hands of the Kyiv regime". (RIA Novosti)

Russian President Vladimir Putin now says 'radical Islamists' were behind Friday's attack on a concert hall that killed more than 130 people, but connected it to Ukraine and the West. ISIS-K — an offshoot of the Islamic State — has claimed responsibility. ( taken from the CBC Canada)

I find this odd to tie both working together...confused
I don't think that many people outside Russia have ever noticed the event. Those, who did notice of whatever reason, shouldn't listen to the state paid propaganda. If the Russian officials wanted tell the truth, they would by now release the video from the cameras inside Crucus. Until now we only have the videos taken by the witnesses on their phones.

As to blaming someone... Putler has nothing to gain in blaming ISIS. You can't defeat an ideologically powered insurgency, you can only destroy it. But it's difficult and actually needs another ideological power, which huilo doesn't have. He wants to make Ukraine the main cause of all problems Russia has after 23 years of his rule, because it's easier.

The most odd thing in the whole is that there will be people who will believe it.
I think some people try to get a view of what is being said from various sources...I just find it odd that Putin is blaming Ukraine as they have enough to do keeping their territory and abiding by what the directives they are given by supporters in order to keep the aid for their cause flowing so to speak...
This yet another attempt (by Putin) to blame Ukraine and at best trying to get his people on board with his war against Ukraine or what he refers to as Nazis...
Civilians are being targeted...and Putin will use this to attain his objective...propaganda...
We all know that Putin started the invasion...despite his attempts to make it out that it was Ukraine who was the aggressor...hard to get around that fact...
