KARL SANCHEZ—This isn’t the first report of the Ukie’s using gas-loaded artillery shells which confirms the terroristic nature of the operation. The aim to foment political unrest and demand for the SMO to cease has failed, yet the effort outed one of the sleeping enemies within Russia. The following short essay by Marat Khairullen was posted to his VK and his Telegram yesterday and tells quite a tale that few readers here will be aware of. Oleg Deripaska is the person being investigated, his name is linked to his Wiki bio, which notes he’s been sanctioned by the Outlaw USW Empire and its UK dog, so he can’t fully enjoy the Cypriot citizenship he bought. His desire to have the sanctions dropped are clearly a motive for his actions, but how closely was he involved with the Ukies is a pertinent question.

BILLY BOB—The inculcated conceptualization of autonomous terrorist groups existing and violently pursuing their radical agendas while the West tirelessly works to track them and protect innocent people (you know, the basic understanding of “terrorism” as spread by Hollywood and the State Department on a daily basis) is absolutely false and entirely detached from objective reality. Terrorism is the tool of the elites. Those that the West calls “terrorists” but do not actually control (like Hezbollah, the IRGC, and the Houthis) of course are not terrorists at all. They are popular groups that resist Western imperialism and who fight against Western backed terrorists (like AL Qaeda and IS).

EDITOR—Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) stated on February 13, 2023, that it obtained intelligence indicating that the US military was actively recruiting militants from jihadist groups affiliated with ISIS* and al-Qaeda* to carry out terrorist attacks in Russia and the CIS countries. According to the SVR, particular attention is paid to attracting people from the Russian North Caucasus and Central Asia to cooperate.
The Russian intelligence service revealed that in January 2023, 60 terrorists with experience of participating in hostilities in the Middle East were recruited by the West, adding that they were undergoing training at the American base in Al-Tanf, Syria, to conduct terrorist and subversive attacks.

SCOTT RITTER—Western governments, analysts, and pundits have loudly proclaimed that the men who carried out the attack on the Crocus City Hall had nothing whatsoever to do with Ukraine, and instead have collectively embraced a narrative that paints the men as members of the Islamic State-Khorasan (ISIS-K). ISIS is an off-shoot of Al-Qaeda-Iraq (AQI) which emerged in 2013 when core AQI members relocated to Syria. In 2014 ISIS declared itself to be a caliphate and began a series of operations which saw it take control on a third of Syria and a quarter of Iraq before being driven back and ultimately defeated by a coalition which included Iraq, the United States and Iran.

JIMMY DORE SHOW—According to former GOP House Representative and staunch libertarian Ron Paul, elements within the United States government have for years been plotting how to overthrow the current Russian regime. The recent terror attacks, he says, were likely an outgrowth of those elements feeling that they needed to act before Ukraine capitulates and concedes defeat to Russia. Jimmy and Due Dissidence host Keaton Weiss discuss the sociopathic strain that leads U.S. Deep State officials to believe they have the right to brazenly control other nations.
