How to bring down a country? Shut down or disable e-commerce; critical shipping and receiving nodes. No food, supplies equals panic in the streets. May be a good idea to stock up on non-parishable food, and defensive supplies.

It appears that the US intelligence may have been accurate after all. They warned of an imminent terror attack in Moscow just a few weeks ago. The US authorities have confirmed that the intel passed to Russia informed them that Islamic State was plotting an attack on a concert. Islamic State have now claimed responsibility for this horrific terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow. It’s seems certain that the initial 40 victims will increase in number dramatically over the coming days as the full details become apparent. The similarities with the attack on the Bataclan in Paris are clear and of course it will bring back painful memories for the Russian people of the Nord Ost hostage siege in 2002. Terrorism obviously has immediate impacts for businesses in the service sector (publicly accessible locations) . They are now all cancelled in Moscow until the terrorists are detained. It’s a reminder, should you need it, to make sure that your security & crisis management plans are fit for purpose and easily accessible. ‘A publicly accessible location is defined as any place to which the public or any section of the public has access, on payment or otherwise, as of right or by virtue of express or implied permission.’ #terrorism #business #eventsmanagment International Professional Security Association (IPSA) YUDU Sentinel

Dr. Manisha Ganguly, Visual forensics lead at The Guardian and an expert in war crimes investigation with the use of #OSINT (open-source intelligence), sheds light on this method which has been used, among others, by Russian forces in Syria and Ukraine and explains its purpose and implications to iMEdD.    👉Read more in the article by George Schinas https://lnkd.in/d3kRj2iu #InvestigativeJournalism #ConflictReporting

not surprising

Decades of brutal racist apartheid & ethnic cleansing is why even the ex-head of Israel’s Shin Bet (their FBI), Ami Ayalon, & ex-Israeli PM & General, Ehud Barak, BOTH say IF THEY WERE PALESTINIAN THEY WOULD FIGHT ISRAEL BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THEIR LIBERTY: lnkd.in/guNE7vay EVEN the ex-head of Israel’s Mossad (their CIA), said “There is an apartheid state here. In a territory where two people are judged under two legal systems, that is an apartheid state.” lnkd.in/gF_2dqvM. I will keep advocating for peaceful resistance & Palestinians have been trying for decades, but IDF soldiers shoot them in the knees, kill them, or at least imprison & beat them. If you don't believe it, please read this 2020 Haaretz article titled: '42 Knees in One Day': Israeli Snipers Open Up About Shooting Gaza Protesters: lnkd.in/g4VqQRzs I also cry for the 38 Israeli children & others killed on Oct 7th, but this horrible conflict did NOT start on that day. The proof is the nearly 2300 Palestinian children Israeli soldiers & settlers killed between 2000 & Oct 2023, including 43 kids during the 9 months just before Oct 7th (names & details on BTselem.org). Israel has also continued stealing more Palestinian homes & farms EVERY YEAR as part of its 57 year apartheid & has imposed a brutal blockade of Gaza since 2005. ALL illegal, immoral, & ongoing acts of war that were still happening on Oct 6th. And now Israel is committing mass ethnic cleansing & genocide with the weapons WE keep giving them & has now killed OVER 25,000 WOMEN & CHILDREN, according to our own US military: lnkd.in/gaMEPKSn Israel has also orphaned over 30K children, has destroyed the homes of nearly 1M & is still blocking aid to them, killing them WITH STARVATION, DEHYDRATION, & DISEASE, in addition to U.S. supplied bombs. If you don’t believe it, please listen to renowned Jewish-American professor & public policy expert, Jeffrey Sachs, explain how Israel is intentionally starving over 1M CHILDREN. He says “the International Court of Justice will find these acts to be genocidal” & “ the U.S. should immediately stop all munitions, all backing, for this murderous rampage”: https://lnkd.in/gy-q3rpR And here is, University of Chicago Prof. John Mearsheimer explaining why what Israel is doing is NOT in America’s strategic interest & why he says “it’s clear to me that Israel is committing genocide”: https://lnkd.in/gXrdShWj Israel claims this is the only way to beat Hamas, but that’s not true. In this article, I explain how Israel has always been able to beat Hamas & ensure its security, WITHOUT KILLING CHILDREN: lnkd.in/gY98T9mc PLEASE WRITE & CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES to demand they stop helping Israel kill children & maintain its brutal racist apartheid WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS. And you can find hundreds more Israeli soldiers, professors, & journalists explaining the truth about this horrible conflict on this YouTube channel: lnkd.in/g9KFXxMr

"THE SYSTEM IS BLINKING RED" (caps for effect) FBI Director Christopher Wray will warn lawmakers later Thursday, [4/11/2024] that there is a growing fear among law enforcement officials of a “coordinated attack” inside the US — weeks after an ISIS assault on a concert hall in Moscow killed 145 people and wounded hundreds more. US officials claim that Washington warned the Kremlin in advance of the attack, but Russian officials failed to take sufficient action to thwart the rampage. [Obviously, US officials have also failed to take sufficient action to thwart the coming rampage. Open borders and twelve million illegals will thwart the efforts of any law enforcement intelligence effort to stop terrorism in this country. When I worked terrorism cases as an FBI Agent before 9/11, it was accepted wisdom that the reason the US did not suffer the same degree of terrorist incidents as Europe was because of "the lack of terrorist infrastructure to support such incidents in the US." It was a lie we told ourselves to explain away the miracle of God watching over our country. Presently, we have multiple layers of "terrorist infrastructure" within the US and a crescendo of academic voices identifying the US as a terrorist state, as well as foreign adversaries dying to exploit this weakness. Director Wray, you do the country a disservice by not calling out these obvious vulnerabilities. Politically, you are controlled but the country will not forgive you if we are attacked due to your political sensibilities. Perhaps it is time for a palace revolt. Surely there are street agents who have risen to senior supervisory positions who could break ranks, name names, and identify specific threats so that the US public could be aware of the magnitude of the threat. Personally, "the system blinking red" warning sounds way too familiar. Respectfully, Michael J. Finnegan, former FBI Agent, 1983-2004 https://lnkd.in/eYY2af98

UPDATE: Moscow concert hall attack: #IslamicState claims responsibility for dozens of deaths and injuries – latest updates Terror group says it was behind attack as #FSB says at least 40 dead and more than 140 injured; gunmen appear not to have been captured The Guardian UK: https://lnkd.in/g9DSM4rX 🦉ME: Caution should still be applied as #IS has a history of making false claims to aggrandise itself. Although US intelligence says there’s no reason to doubt its claim of responsibility. https://lnkd.in/ghPYZRQX Previously: #Moscow concert hall shooting: at least 40 killed and 100 wounded in attack; roof collapsing as fire rips through venue – latest updates More than 100 people injured in attack on #CrocusCityHall as Russian officials investigate incident as terrorist attack 👁️ John Kirby, the White House national security spokesperson, told reporters: “There’s no indication at this time that Ukraine, or Ukrainians were involved in the shooting … We’re taking a look at it, but I would disabuse you at this early hour of any connection to Ukraine.” In response to whether this is a sign of cracks in Vladimir Putin’s regime, Kirby said: “There are people in Moscow and in Russia that object to the way Mr Putin is governing the country, but I don’t think we, at this early hour, can make a link between the shopping mall attack and political motivations. I think … we just need more time and we need to learn more information.” 🦉This is an ongoing situation and it is too early to speculate on who is behind it. Russia of course is already starting to form a #narrative that the “Kiev region” (Ukraine) is behind it. (Dmitry Medvedev) There are parallels however to the Chechen and Beslan attacks twenty years ago. It was a well-planned attack and there are several possible actors. It comes on the heels of the Russian presidential election. It is noteworthy that U.S. intelligence via the U.S. Embassy warned US citizens a couple of weeks ago (March 7) to stay away from crowded places like theatres due to a possible attack by extremists. What did Russia know in advance about the likelihood of an attack given it was likely Russia was warned by the U.S? If so, did the Kremlin take the warning seriously? 👁️See also BBC Verify: https://lnkd.in/gxj6uf-B #terrorism #russia
