Sunday Evening 8/11/24
So, the Ukrainians used a drone to strike at the Zaporizhzhya NPP. NPP—that’s Nuclear Power Plant.
Russia says Ukraine hit it!
As a result of the shelling of the city of Energodar by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a fire broke out at the Zaporizhzhya NPP cooling systems facility. Currently, all 6 power units of the station are in cold shutdown, there is no threat of a steam explosion or other consequences.
The radiation background around the NPP and the city of Energodar is normal. The Ministry of Emergency Situations employees are working at the scene of the fire, the fire sources are being eliminated.
There is no threat to the plant.
The Russians call this nuclear terrorism, which sounds reasonable. The Ukrainians say:
Ukraine says Russia is burning tires to create a provocation. Believable?

 Details of the attack on the Zaporizhzhya NPP
Today at about 9:00pm, the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the Zaporizhzhya NPP using a kamikaze drone.
According to preliminary data, the drone with which the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck the Zaporizhzhya NPP was launched from the city of Nikopol in the Dnipropetrovsk region, located on the right bank of the Dnieper and under the control of the Zelensky regime.
The drone operator clearly saw where he was hitting.
It was a targeted and deliberate strike.
This is another example of the manifestation of nuclear terrorism, in which the Zelensky regime has succeeded so much with the approving connivance and assistance of the West.

Quite frankly, I’m not sure what the thinking behind this is. Perhaps a far fetched hope that Russia will reshuffle their entire (and successful) strategy to deal with these pinpricks?
Sundance introduces his recent post
with a nifty ‘let me count the ways’ rundown:
♦ To stop him in 2016, the FBI and DOJ ran a comprehensive surveillance operation against his campaign. The same people manufactured a completely fabricated case of Trump colluding with Russia. Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2017, the DOJ and Congress ran a comprehensive Special Counsel operation against his presidency. The justification of the SC operation was to prove a completely fabricated case of Trump colluding with Russia. The real reason for the SC operation was to cover up the FBI and DOJ completely fabricating the case of Trump colluding with Russia. Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2019, congress and the intelligence apparatus (Mary McCord and Michael Atkinson) manufactured an impeachment hoax using Ukraine, a fabricated DoD plant on the National Security Council (Vindman), the CIA (Ciaramella) and the Intelligence Community Inspector General (Attkinson). Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2020, the U.S. Intelligence Community, working through the U.S. CDC, seeded a global pandemic and quickly manufactured an election result using mail-in ballots to manufacture 81 million votes for a completely controlled candidate with dementia. Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2022, Joe Biden (through AG Garland) appointed a special prosecutor (smith) to investigate, indict and convict him. Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2023, the FBI and DOJ raided his home. Indicted him under claims of “national security,” then began to use Lawfare in the court system against him. Have you forgotten?
♦ To stop him in 2024, the U.S. Secret Service permitted a 20-year-old with a backpack, range finder, drone and long rifle, to walk into a Trump rally, set up position on a rooftop next to the USSS operating team, and fire eight shots at less than 150 yards at President Trump’s head, wounding his ear. Have you forgotten?
OK, technically Crooks didn’t walk into a Trump rally with his rifle. He walked to the perfect sniper post overlooking Trump—which happened to be well within what should have been a security perimeter. It amounts to the same thing from any reasonable standpoint.
My modest addition to this list is simply this. The supposed Iranian hacking of the Trump campaign was actually one more in this long series of Intel hoaxes aimed at Trump—if you include hoax elections as hoaxes. You get the idea. The top intel services—CIA, NSA, MI6, and others—are quite able to convincingly counterfeit the footprints of foreign actors like Iran, so there will never be “proof” in the strict sense. For my part, this simply looks like a twofer hoax: Leak damaging stuff to Politico to hopefully stop Trump, while also trumping (!) up a casus belli against Iran. You’ll have to prove to me that this was anything else but this. Just look around the world at the steady stream of color revolutions and regime change operations that are ongoing and traceable to the CIA. They’ve done it here before. Look for more.
Mark, between you and Sundance, I'm getting a very good picture of the upper level goings on. You on the foreign entanglements perspective and Sundance on the domestic side - with considerable overlap. I've been aware something was amiss since the mid 70's, but the saying they're all crooks didn't quite cover it. The enormity of the corruption is appalling.
But I have a plan. Create a spin dizzy - SciFi "Cities in Fight" - and send DC into the cosmos unguided. OK, just trying to add some humor. Enjoy the upcoming week in any event.
On Trump Concur.
On Ukraine attacking the Nuke Plant. This came up about 2 years ago when that plant was taken by the Russians. Ukies attack and say it was the Russians. Same play book. But once again Cui Bono if there was a major Nuke leak?
Certainly not the Russians! But if the disaster was in Ukrainian held territory? Well, of course, the Ukrainian Government in its current state could not handle such a disaster. Well, Who could help? Of Course!! The Ukie NATO military allies who have the DECON equipment and the robust response force to do containment and clean up. Nice way to get NATO troops into the Ukraine.
