A Mysterious Satellite Hack Has Victims Far Beyond Ukraine

A Mysterious Satellite Hack Has Victims Far Beyond Ukraine MORE THAN 22,000 miles above Earth, the KA-SAT is locked in orbit. Traveling at 7,000 miles per hour, in sync with the planet’s rotation, the satellite beams high-speed internet down to people across Europe. Since 2011, it has helped homeowners, businesses, and militaries get online. However, as Russian troops moved into Ukraine during the early hours of February 24, satellite internet connections were disrupted. A mysterious cyberattack against the satellite’s ground infrastructure—not the satellite itself—plunged tens of thousands of people into internet darkness. Among them were parts of Ukraine’s defenses. “It was a really huge loss in communications in the very beginning of war,” Viktor Zhora, a senior official at Ukraine’s cybersecurity agency, the State Services for Special Communication and Information Protection (SSSCIP), reportedly said two weeks later. He did not provide any more details, and SSSCIP did not respond...

This is how the official AP news alert on the event reads Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared at a huge flag-waving rally at a packed Moscow stadium Friday and lavished praise on his troops fighting in Ukraine, three weeks into the invasion that has led to heavier-than-expected Russian losses on the battlefield and increasingly authoritarian rule at home. But Will Vernon has some more information on Twitter in a thread.. the reporter actually tweets that he interviewed dozens of people who attended the rally.. Many of them said they were public sector and school teacher employees and were forced to attend by their employer.. One other man told Vernon he didn’t support the war but was forced to attend.. Vernon wrote, Students told us they had been given the option of a day off from lectures if they attended ‘a concert.’ Some of them didn’t even know that the event was dedicated, in part, to support for Russian forces in Ukraine. During the ...

World War III or Cold War II? Fears over nukes increased in Cold War kids

 All eyes were on nuclear facilities in Ukraine this week.. all eyes in general are on the troubled nation as Russia's invasion continues.. But Cold War Kids especially seem to have their 99 LUFT BALLOONS memories suddenly coming back to haunt them.. those drills under desks, those moments during the 20th century when they thought nuclear annihilation was coming at any moment.. Those fears were palpable then for them, and now they are back again.. Like a bad haunted memory.. something they tried to dispose of but now, as nuclear fears build again, they realize they could not repress the anxiety forever.. this interesting article appears in the LA TIMES and ponders if "anyone is feeling this" fear suddenly, the fear of nuclear rage pent up for all these years since the fall of the Berlin Wall and communism in Europe. The quote from the article that chills: “This time I’m thinking I won’t be eviscerated, instead I’ll be left to slowly die of radiation poisoning,” he said. T...

FEAR SELLS! Ukraine war: Demand for doomsday bunkers in the UK soars »

FEAR SELLS! Ukraine war: Demand for doomsday bunkers in the UK soars » This being reported by the UK DAILY MAIL.. UK firm Subterranean Spaces said enquiries surged at the weekend ‘100 per cent’ from February 2021, when the prospect of full-scale conflict in Europe still seemed remote. Founder Charles Hardman said that on Thursday and Friday – the first two days of Russia’s lawless invasion of Ukraine – the company got 12 enquiries from families of three, families of four and one family of eight in London, Wales and even the French Alps. Bespoke shelters built by Hardman’s Subterranean Spaces, founded in 2018, cost at least £100,000, and multi-purpose bunkers containing videogame simulators, kitchens, and air filtration systems for a family of six can cost as much as £900,000. Hardman advised it takes around four months to plan and build, adding that the shelters should be set up in a garden and not under a house. ‘What’s the point of surviving a nuclear blast if the house collapses on ...

MASSIVE RT LAYOFF

RT America will cease productions and lay off most of its staff, according to a memo from T&R Productions, the production company behind the Russian state-funded network, which CNN obtained. Misha Solodovnikov, the general manager of T&R Productions, told staff in the memo that it will be “ceasing production” at all of its locations “as a result of unforeseen business interruption events.” “Unfortunately, we anticipate this layoff will be permanent, meaning that this will result in the permanent separation from employment of most T&R employees at all locations,” Solodovnikov wrote.

America polishes off the "doomsday plane"

America’s $200m “doomsday plane” designed to act as a flying control centre in the event of a nuclear conflict was sent on a four-hour training sortie on Monday – hours after Vladimir Putin increased the readiness of Russia’s nuclear forces. US plane designed to survive nuclear war makes four-hour flight following Putin threat The Boeing 747 modified to provide a flying command centre in the event of a nuclear conflict conducted a mission with other early warning  Military flight tracking websites showed the modified Boeing 747, which has the call sign “GORDO15”, had taken off from a US Air Force base in Nebraska and conducted a mission accompanied by other specialised early-warning jets used to track ballistic missiles.

Alexander Lukashenko appears to have indicated Vladimir Putin's forces have plans to invade Moldova

IT’S JUST WHAT DICTATORS DO.. Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko appears to have indicated Vladimir Putin's forces have plans to invade Moldova. Putin's war-mongering sidekick addressed security officials today while standing in front of a battle map that seems to show a planned operation from southern Ukraine into its tiny neighbor. The map also showed proposed battle plans for Russian troops across the country. The UK DAILY MAIL reports on the weird moment: It detailed Russian lines of attack heading into Ukraine, some of which have materialised in the first few days of the invasion - such as forces storming towards Kyiv from the north, and towards Kherson from Crimea. But they also showed off several attacks that have yet to come to pass - with one even appearing to point from the port city of Odessa into Moldova, suggesting Russia plans to march troops into Ukraine's neighbour. The story goes on: Perhaps worryingly for the direction the war could take from here...

Major social media platforms begin banning RT and other Russian sources

Facebook is restricting access to content from RT and Sputnik on both its main social media platform and Instagram following “requests from a number of governments,” according to he company’s vice president Nick Clegg.

PAT ROBERTSON RETURNS FROM RETIREMENT TO SAY THE WORLD IS ENDING

“I think you can say, well, Putin’s out of his mind, and yes, maybe so,” said Robertson. “But at the same time he’s being compelled by God. He went into Ukraine, but that wasn’t his goal. His goal was to move against Israel, ultimately.” “God is getting ready to do something amazing, and that will be fulfilled,” said Robertson. “And what Putin is doing, by moving as he is, to set up Ukraine as a staging ground for one of the armies, and then across is Erdogan in Turkey, and you’ve got between them that little Dardanelles area. And it’s going to happen. So I say, that is what’s coming up. Is Putin crazy? Is he mad? Well, perhaps. But God says, I’m going to put hooks in your jaws and I’m going to draw you into this battle, whether you like it or not. And he’s being compelled, after the move into the Ukraine, he’s being compelled to move to get a land bridge, and then across the Dardanelles with Turkey, and watch what’s going to happen next. You read your Bible, because it’s coming to pas...

Vlad the Impaler: Fiano Hill said "he would"

 The nuclear fear is building around the planet.. after all these decades of "mutually assured destruction" ... after a Cuban Missile Crisis in which Kennedy privately made a deal... after the 1980s Star Wars race.. It has come to this in the modern age: Vladimir Putin vs the world. And he has nukes.. According to Russia watcher Fiona Hill, Putin would use nukes.. She told this to POLITICO in a rare interview: “Ukraine has become the front line in a struggle, not just between democracies and autocracies but in a struggle for maintaining a rules-based system in which the things that countries want are not taken by force,” Hill said. “Every country in the world should be paying close attention to this.” There’s lots of danger ahead, she warned. Putin is increasingly operating emotionally and likely to use all the weapons at his disposal, including nuclear ones. It’s important not to have any illusions — but equally important not to lose hope. “Every time you think, ’No, he woul...

Threat of world war moves to space

There are some startling developments in the Ukraine invasion ..  this time not involving land but instead space itself  As Russia gets more aggressive in the wake of the new war, it would appear that the lives of astronauts aboard the international space station are now in the crosshairs.. Russia could pull the plug on the International Space Station and not support a contained de-orbit, which could then "crash into the United States or Europe"; he also alluded this could happen with U.S. astronauts on-board. -Russia could block Americans from using their rockets to and from space; they could also block other countries from using their rockets to deploy assets into space. In addition to using SpaceX, NASA has contracted-out carrying astronauts to/from the space station to Russia. Other countries use Russian rockets to launch communications, science/research,  and military satellites; sanctions could impact those from happening. -Russia withdrew from the Guiana Space Cent...

Some soldiers report that they didn’t even know they were being sent to actual combat!!

Even soldiers captured during the invasion have told interviewers that they believed they were taking part in exercises, said Olena Prokopenko From Defense One: The Russian government took steps Friday to further limit what its citizens can see in media and on the internet: “slowing” access to Facebook and ordering state and independent outlets to use only governmental sources in their reporting on Ukraine.

Nuclear winter continued: All eyes on Chernobyl nuclear site

Radiation sensors in Eastern Europe are detecting a significant increase of radioactive fallout over the last 72 hours around the Chernobyl nuclear disaster site, where authorities have confirmed 92 plant workers are being held hostage. The White House released a statement requesting their release. While eyes are on Chernobyl, concern is growing that 4 other nuclear power plants currently in operation elsewhere throughout Ukraine could come under attack, ejecting additional radioactive materials into the air.  Weather patterns would spread any radioactive cloud over Europe before spreading throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere..  Important developing story.. 

The Simpsons show support for Ukraine while some find an old episode that may have portended current events

Tonight the official “The Simpsons“ Facebook page presented artistic commentary and support for Ukraine as Russia continues to pummel the nation. The timing is fascinating given this: Fans of the animated cartoon have taken to  Twitter and pointed out that there’s an episode from 1998, titled ‘Simpson Tide,’ in which there are some similarities to current events. In the episode, Homer Simpson accidentally fires off a submarine captain into Russian water, which brings back the Soviet Union, who send troops and tanks out to the streets. Some are you the conspiracy realm is that play in that the makers of the Simpsons have been time traveler since the beginning. Others just point out that the shows that I’m so long, it goes to show that they would be at least one or two references to futuristic timelines. But it’s getting weird isn’t it?
