We have no idea what really happened. Only what people who are known to be the writers of the books on modern information warfare are saying about it.
So the filter one might use to look at the media and official reports on this might consist of a few historical constants and other recent events.
1. Russians and Americans have been using jihadi groups as proxy armies against each other’s interests for decades and decades now. Which makes sense. There is nothing a jihadi group likes more than to slaughter infidels and be paid by other infidels to do it. If memory serves, The Taliban itself is more or less a CIA creation to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and it worked well. Almost as well as when the US fought the Taliban for 20 years and then gave up and handed them trillions in weapons.
2. Turkey sometime in the past 15 years or so, shot down a Russian military asset, jet or heli, I don’t remember which, and the crew that wasn’t killed in the crash was killed by a Turkish proxy army called the Turkmen. Again, as memory serves. It’s all here on this site though. Sometime later, a Russian diplomat was murdered at an art show in somewhere in Turkey. He may have been a personal friend of Putin’s.
Sometime later, a Muslim terrorist attack took place at an airport in Ankara. Now this is kind of odd, since Turkey is now the home of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Erdogan is blessed by the Spiritual leader of the Brotherhood as the Kalif, or whatever the title is for the political leader of the Caliphate. So kinda weird that a jihad attack would take place at an airport within Turkey. Chechens to be precise, if memory serves.
The USA seems to be poised now for a classical war with Russia. I mean a war everyone would recognize as a war. One that gets ratings on TV. But the CIA has clearly been at war with Russia for a long time now. Information warfare is political warfare and IS war.
None of these things mean anything definitive in terms of what took place yesterday. But it opens the possibilities that it wasn’t whatever the US state department says it was. Especially if you factor in what they say about everything else. If John Kirby says its raining out, I would go to the window and check. As the saying goes, “No matter how cynical I get, I can’t keep up”. I would add to that, there is no way that any US Civil Servant could watch a David Copperfield show without thinking how they could weaponize that sort of mass deception.
The Daily Mail:
Islamic State tonight claimed responsibility for a suspected terror attack which killed at least 60 people at a packed concert venue on the outskirts of Moscow.
Around 100 people were also left fighting for their lives when gunmen in camouflage clothing opened fire with automatic weapons on people at a concert in the Crocus City Hall on Friday.
Three men named by the authorities and believed to be the killers are feared to be on the run tonight after slipping away from the bloodbath.
Kinda weird though. No suicide bombers and all the attackers are alive and got away. Not the Islamic State’s usual MO. Mind you in fairness, all the best suicide bombers are gone.
Russian YouTuber on the attack. No idea if the analysis is good, but its fascinating to hear that in Russia, guns are strictly illegal. He clearly finds a lot wrong with the narrative explanation though.
As Stephen Coughlin points out in his recent and excellent video on Marxism’s war on women, we seem to be at a place where no one knows what is true. But things are as true or not as the architects of all this need them to be for their real purpose.
Check back on this post now and again. If anything worthwhile appears I will add it to this post.
