BZ’s Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show, Thursday, 3-3-22, with co-host LONNIE POINDEXTER and cybersecurity expert MIKE FITZPATRICK

Tonight BZ and co-host LONNIE POINDEXTER spoke with cybersecurity expert MIKE FITZPATRICK on Ukraine, Russia, and the coming cyberattacks aimed at the US!

And not for just one or two hours — but for a full three hours!

These were some of the things presented.

It all dovetails.

With this: The Great Reset. More later; not now.

Before we begin, this official notice from the Oval Orifice. Then let’s start the show.

You think that’s sad? This is sad.

To begin, Russian invaded Ukraine on Tuesday, February 22nd, 2022.

Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has been in that office since 2012. He’s been sending messages in the clear, for quite some time, that he would do precisely what he is doing now.

As a reminder:

Chechnya was reincorporated into Russia, under President Clinton, 1999 – 2000, where the start of the war bolstered the domestic popularity of Vladimir Putin as the campaign was started one month after he had become Russian Prime Minister. That conflict greatly contributed to the deep changes in Russian politics and society.

  • Putin invaded Georgia, in 2008, under George Bush.
  • Putin annexed Crimea, in 2014, under Barack Hussein Obama.
  • Putin did nothing under President Trump for four years.
  • Putin invaded Ukraine under Biden, 2022

Anything in common? Quite indeed. Three Demorats — and one RINO who exploded government, exploded bureaucracy, exploded spending, and never met a Demorat he didn’t hug and kiss on the cheek. Or perhaps he was merely attempting a subtle effort to determine if Michelle Ma Belle had real instead of pneumatic breastules. Only he knows for certain.

The exception being the person quantified as “Putin’s Poodle” by Leftists — the OMB, the guy with the dead orange cat on his head, President Donald John Trump, P45, who turned some Russian “advisors” into floating molecules and dust early in his presidency via a fleet of Tomahawk missiles — themselves a naming affront to “native Americans.”

Trump launches attack on Syria with 59 Tomahawk missiles

by Everett Rosenfeld, 4-7-17, CNBC

The U.S. military attacked a Syria-government airfield with 59 Tomahawk missiles on Thursday evening.

The missiles targeted the Shayrat air base near Homs, and were in response to a Tuesday chemical weapons attack. Officially announcing the strike, President Donald Trump said the targeted airfield had launched the chemical attack on a rebel-held area, and he called on other nations to oppose Syria’s embattled leader.

“On Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians. Using a deadly nerve agent, Assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children. It was a slow and brutal death for so many. Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack,” Trump said Thursday night.

You know, the guy who loves Russia.

You know, the guy by whom the FBI discovered no link between Trump and Russia.

FBI finds no clear link between Trump and Russia — report

by Times Of Israel staff, 11-1-16

Bureau does believe Moscow hacked Democratic Party emails in attempt to undermine American democracy

The FBI found no clear link between Donald Trump and Russia, despite allegations by an intelligence agent that Moscow groomed the Republican presidential nominee for years as an asset and a report that computer scientists uncovered a private line of communication between the Trump Organization and a Moscow bank owned by a Russian-Israeli businessman.

The New York Times revealed Monday that despite several investigations over many weeks into ties between Trump and Russia, the FBI found no conclusive evidence connecting Moscow to the Republican presidential nominee.

You know, the guy who, in fact, we discovered the opposite was true. When Donald Trump said he was “wiretapped,” we found that — as I had been writing and saying since 2017 — that what we witnessed was a soft coup against a presidential nominee, a president-elect and, now it is revealed, a sitting president.

From FoxNews.com:

Clinton campaign paid to ‘infiltrate’ Trump Tower, White House servers to link Trump to Russia, Durham finds

by Brooke Singman, Fox News, 2-12-22

‘Tech Executive-1 and his associates exploited this arrangement by mining the EOP’s DNS traffic and other data for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump.’

Lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a technology company to “infiltrate” servers belonging to Trump Tower, and later the White House, in order to establish an “inference” and “narrative” to bring to government agencies linking Donald Trump to Russia, a filing from Special Counsel John Durham found.

Durham filed a motion on Feb. 11 focused on potential conflicts of interest related to the representation of former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who has been charged with making a false statement to a federal agent. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.

The indictment against Sussmann, says he told then-FBI General Counsel James Baker in September 2016, less than two months before the 2016 presidential election, that he was not doing work “for any client” when he requested and held a meeting in which he presented “purported data and ‘white papers’ that allegedly demonstrated a covert communications channel” between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, which has ties to the Kremlin.`

So it appears that Trump — the proverbial Conspiracist himself — turned out to be correct. On this and many other topics. For another day.

And of course no one on the major American Media Maggots list covered that. Not the New York Times. Not the Washington Post. Not ABC, NBC, CBS, not the moribund CNN or MSNBC. Imagine that. And these asshores have the guts to accuse YOU of creating Fake News or reading Fake News. They aren’t even news.

The American Media Maggots — and the public — also conveniently forgot about this:

Durham probe: Analyst charged with lying to FBI about Christopher Steele’s Trump-Russia dossier

by Dan Mangan and Kevin Breuninger, 11-4-21, CNBC

  • An analyst who contributed research to a dossier that detailed alleged ties between former President Donald Trump and Russia during the 2016 election was arrested.
  • Igor Danchenko, the analyst, was charged in a grand jury indictment with five counts of making false statements to the FBI about the so-called Steele dossier during interviews with agents in 2017.
  • The arrest was part of an ongoing probe by special counsel John Durham, who was appointed during the Trump administration to investigate the roots of the Trump-Russia investigation.

Steele’s controversial dossier on Trump became the basis for the application of an FBI warrant to tap the phone of former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page a month before Election Day in 2016

Steele’s inquiry was funded by the firm Fusion GPS, which itself had been hired by the Democratic National Committee to conduct opposition research on the then-Republican candidate Trump.

I find it interesting that this comparison is now being made.

Obama’s weak Russia policy emboldened Putin to invade Ukraine, and Biden’s is emboldening Xi: MSNBC guest

by Yael Halon, Fox News, 2-22-22

MSNBC guest Hagar Chemali said on the network Tuesday that former President Obama’s evasive foreign policy emboldened Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade Ukraine, and that President Biden’s handling of the current crisis will likely have a similar effect on Chinese President Xi Jinping in future years.

Because it’s no secret that Xi Jinping wants, like Hong Kong, to bring Taiwan and its massive manufacturing abilities to heel directly for China.

“When he saw a relatively weak response from the Obama administration at the time for something so brazen, for taking territory, I think to him that was a message of okay, great, this is something I can continue to do with little recourse,” Chemali told guest host John Heilemann.

“The bottom line is, he’s going to see that he can behave this way as a thug and get something out of it,” she said.

Let’s not forget this quote from a Politico piece:

One Democrat who spoke to Obama recalled the former president warning, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up.” Speaking of his own waning understanding of today’s Democratic electorate, especially in Iowa, Obama told one 2020 candidate: “And you know who really doesn’t have it? Joe Biden.”

One of many BZ Axioms goes like this: “The best predictor of future behavior is past performance, or the lack thereof.”

See Joe Biden.

It all dovetails. And recent events began on Tuesday, February 22nd, when Russian forces began moving into Ukraine — though Russian troops and armament had been near the Ukrainian border since late January. Coincidence?

A Russian troop buildup along its border with Ukraine includes supplies of blood for the wounded, three U.S. officials told Reuters, a detail reinforcing U.S. comments that Russia “clearly” now has the capability to move on its neighbour.

The disclosure by the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, adds to growing U.S. concern that Russia could be preparing for a new invasion of Ukraine as it has amassed more than 100,000 troops near its borders.

Now we know the invasion is full underway, and Putin is himself receiving pushback on some fronts I suggest he didn’t anticipate.

As opposed to what some Leftist individuals, groups, or outlets are bleating, Ukraine is not a Democracy or a Republic; it’s a unitary state where all the power rests with the government. It was a client state of the USSR until 1991, and its parties are socialist, Marxist-Leninist in true nature.

Another truth is that Ukraine has been the Wild West of the Wild East. With the right connections, money, power, and influence, corruption knows no bounds. Transactions are conducted here that enrich the Biden and Clinton Crime Families, in just one ready example.

Of most recent interest was the now mostly forgotten (except BZ, who has a semblance of memory left and access to what’s left of internet archives) Biden interchange, in 2019, about Ukraine.

And now that we’re talking about Russia, and now that we’re talking about Ukraine, we’re also now talking about sanctions, the impact of what could have been avoided — what didn’t occur under the four years of President Trump, for example — and what results we can expect now.

One of them, I suspect, will be cyberattacks from Russia. Likely aimed at various forms of infrastructure, the electric grid, oil, energy. This has already occurred.

Colonial pipeline hack claimed by Russian group DarkSide spurs emergency order from White House

by Kevin Collier, 5-10-21, 

The DarkSide ransomware group released a statement Monday saying that it is apolitical and that it did not mean to cause widespread disruption.

But it did so anyway. You know. Just to see.

And whilst we’re on the subject of reminding certain personnel — Leftists — about history, let’s replay this exquisite cut which, like wine, only gets finer with age.

These were just some of the issues addressed on the show!

WW III stemming from Ukraine?

Moldova Ukraine MapFrom the UKDailyMail.com:

EDWARD LUCAS: I hope I’m wrong but historians may look back and say this was the start of World War III

by Edward Lucas

Deep in the flat and featureless landscape of eastern Ukraine, it is all too ­possible that the outline of World War III is taking shape.

Whipped up by the Kremlin ­propaganda machine and led by Russian ­military intelligence, armed men are erecting road blocks, storming police stations and ripping down the country’s flag.

They are demolishing not just their own country — bankrupt, ill-run and beleaguered — but also the post-war order that has kept most of Europe and us, here in Britain, safe and free for decades.
Vladimir Putin is striking at the heart of the West.

His target is our inability to work with allies in defence against common threats. The profoundly depressing fact is that the events of the past few months, as Russia has annexed the Crimea and ­suppressed opposition in Ukraine, have shown the West to be divided, humiliated and powerless in the face of these land grabs.

We are soon to face a bleak choice. We can chose to surrender any responsibility we have to protect Ukraine and the Baltic states — almost certainly Putin’s next target — from further Russian incursion. Or we can mount a last-ditch attempt to deter Russia from furthering its imperial ambitions.

And just what would that entail?  Precisely?

If we do choose to resist Putin, we will risk a terrifying military escalation, which I do not think it an exaggeration to say could bring us to the brink of nuclear war.

Putin knows that. And he believes we will choose surrender. For the real story of recent events in Ukraine is not about whether that country has a free-trade deal with Brussels or gets its gas from Moscow.

What’s next?

Moldova, I submit.

On the cusp of an actual shooting war in Ukraine

Russian Troops In Ukraine

[Interesting note: the soldier above with the balaclava is holding an American made M-16 variant, non-piston driven, with likely an American suppressor — perhaps a SureFire muzzle brake and MagPull magazine.  How does this soldier come to carry American equipment?  Man in left background likely an AK variant with muzzle brake.]

Ukraine has made a large step in terms of its defense, and has authorized its military to shoot if threatened by external sources: i.e., Russian troops — of which roughly 20,000 are amassed adjacent Ukraine’s border.  One Ukrainian soldier’s death has already occurred.

Ron Paul actually thinks Putin has the law on his side in terms of invading Ukraine.

Further, Vladimir Putin publicly announced the annexation of Crimea on Tuesday (3-18), denouncing “western hypocrisy” in a “searing speech to political elites” in Moscow that is likely to go down as one of the defining moments of his long rule over Russia.  To wit:

And let us not forget that Mr Putin advocated in his doctoral thesis for a USSR regeneration, by way of energy control.  1989 was one of the lowest points of the former USSR and those who advocate for a musclebound Russian bear.

Because Putin outwardly exudes power and nakedly pushes boundaries, he is now massively popular in Russia.  This is not difficult to understand at all, for those who have a grasp of history.

Mr Obama has pointedly unearthed seven Russian officials for sanctionsSanctions.  Right.  That clearly hurt.  Wowzer!

But here’s a bit of the truth: the EU and the US are predominantly screwed with potential reaction to Putin’s inroads.

Russia wants nothing the US has, and the EU is beholden to the Russian Energy Nipple.

Global shocker: “Crimea votes to join Russia, accelerating Ukraine crisis”

Russian Troop in UkraineFrom YahooNews.com:

By Alissa de Carbonnel

SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine (Reuters) – Crimea’s parliament voted to join Russia on Thursday and its Moscow-backed government set a referendum on the decision in 10 days’ time in a dramatic escalation of the crisis over the Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula.

The sudden acceleration of moves to bring Crimea, which has an ethnic Russian majority and has effectively been seized by Russian forces, formally under Moscow’s rule came as European Union leaders held an emergency summit groping for ways to pressure Russia to back down and accept mediation.

Clearly, no one saw that coming.

Violence in Kiev: anti-government demonstrations leave 18 dead so far

A repeat of Tianamen Square?

Kiev Clashes and ViolenceFrom BBCNews.com:

Ukraine: Deadly clashes around parliament in Kiev

Violent clashes have erupted during anti-government protests in Ukraine’s capital, Kiev, with at least nine people, including two policemen, dead.

In the worst violence in weeks, police used rubber bullets and stun grenades as thousands of protesters marching on parliament.

A deadline set by the security forces for the violence to end has passed with no immediate sign of police action.

The clashes came as MPs were due to debate changes to the constitution.

The proposals would curb the powers of President Viktor Yanukovych, but the opposition say they were blocked from submitting their draft, meaning no debate could take place.

Ukraine’s government had apparently been attempting to hook up more closely to Russia and Vladimir Putin.  That seemingly began to unsettle the proletariat.

Ukraine’s unrest began in November, when Mr Yanukovych rejected a deal with the EU in favour of closer ties with Russia.

The mood had calmed in recent days, but protest camps remain on the streets and the opposition – which insists the president must resign – had warned the government it risked inflaming tensions if it failed to act.

You can be guaranteed that Russian troops are in Kiev even at this very moment.  And there are explosions occurring in Kiev presently.

In the meantime, America media is silent on this.  John Kerry is silent on this.  Kerry believes that carbon is the largest threat to the world.  And Obama is — as per normal — doing two things: 1) He is monitoring, and 2) He is concerned.

Concurrently, Venezuela is falling apart by the numbers.  It is one of the major sources for our imported oil, I should offer, just behind Mexico.  Disburbance in the oil supply, anyone?

And America’s so-called “leaders” are silent and vacuous.

Putin invaded Georgia.  Will he decide to invade Ukraine?

BZ

UPDATE:

Mr Obama has weighed in.  He “condemns.”  He also “monitors.”  He is, of course, “concerned.”
