All employees of the Russian Embassy in London have left?

a reply to: ScientificRailgun

You have a message.

Remember Andrews is roughly 6 or so miles from the center of DC. The Russian embassy is in DC. It would be completely plausible to believe they didn't want a breach in information which is running rampant, of the president and possibly other officials vulnerable. As with the DC snipers and Ferguson sniper, it's not hard to hide in plain sight.

That's pretty awesome. Anything you can say about the context? Mainsale can be very mundane (someone in the air needs to call a base commander but doesn't know the number, etc...). I know there is the potential for something profound, but I've just grown to think of them as Sky Google.

Shades of Kim Kardashian, I also found THIS scheduled for Monday. The temptation to speculate is just too much, so here goes: Putin and his girlfriend will perhaps wed in a public ceremony?

read down the page and it's an expo.

Just captured this on 8992. Kinda sounds like an OTH radar. Why they parked it on 8992 is beyond me.

Sounds like the Navy's ROTHR

Putin disappears and ambassadors and Russian embassy staff are being recalled? There could really be something to this.

I wonder if there's been a coup ? It would be pretty impressive media control for them to keep it quiet.

Honestly, and being completely honest here. If I were President, and Russia just launched a full volley against the United States, I would use the Emergency Alert System and issue a statement tell the American people that Nuclear Annihilation was imminent, and that the United States would not be responding with a counter volley. It's a sad situation, but to judge the entirety of Russia guilty for the actions of a few is not what a good person would do. It would my hope that the sacrifice of the United States would open the eyes of the world, that violence is not the answer. That by quietly accepting our fate, a better, more united world can come of this tragedy. And to the Russian people I would say "I do not blame you. I do not blame your friends or family. Fear is what has brought about this event, and hopefully by my gesture of goodwill, of not retaliating, you will see the true benevolence of what is soon to become a formerly great nation. Take up that torch, and demand change to the world. Demand a world without nuclear fire. The United States may be gone, but world, she lives on.

I know it's late in the thread for me to even be here, but I only now read this, and couldn't overlook it without commenting. Started to send a PM, but decided to post it here instead.

This is one of the most lovely things I've ever read. Sincerely. It completely transcends ego and politics, and has only the best interest of the world and humanity in heart and mind. So beautiful, SRG. (sniff.) I hope you received lots of applause for this. I've actually bookmarked it, to read when I start despairing that humans are only focused on greed and power at this time in our lives. Thank you for such a beautiful post.

It was more of a running gag. Considering all these odd happenings over the last 2 weeks.
I in no way believe the plane is safe somewhere... or that Israel has an exact double.

But now that UVB-76 is back and being jammed...

Thanks scientificrailgun and Zaphod. Like to hear what that sound is you guys are talking about. I pulled the signal up. But either it's not active at the moment. Or the app is pulling to much memory on my end.
Please and thanks.

What goal would be accomplished by massive retaliation? Only that the entire world would fall under a Nuclear winter, and would most assuredly mean the extinction of the human race.

By not retaliating, I give humanity a chance to survive.

There's a damned good reason why people like you aren't in important positions of power.

The enemy would sniff out your weaknesses, and decimate not only you, but those under which you're responsible for.

Such naivety.

What is that? Is that the woodpecker?
Are we ( the U.S. ) doing that back?

I realized that, but was just having fun.

Some timely music from Lupe.

I don't think so, if this was the case it would be huge news, a major diplomatic incident.

Not necesarilly. If you consider who owns the news, it could easily be silenced until something happens as a result. By releasing this information, especially to the UK, right when it happened it could instill a great deal of terror, or unwanted questions on the UK's political fat heads. Expect to wait until Monday to find anything else about this. That is, unless something happens on PI day, a gift from Russia to the UK.

I posted a link from Andrey Illarionov's blog earlier, and from there was led to another RU site and twitter feed the following:

As we wrote earlier, Wednesday night on the drafting of the "Russian mail Monitor" received a letter in which, with reference to a source in the Central Clinical Hospital of the medical staff at the property management Department of the President of the Russian Federation, said that Putin is seriously ill, he had diagnosed an ischemic stroke.

That's a translation, here is the original:

Как мы уже писали ранее, в среду вечером на редакционную почту «Русского Монитора» пришло письмо, в котором, со ссылкой на источник среди медперсонала Центральной Клинической Больницы Управления Делами Президента РФ, говорилось о том, что Путин тяжело болен, у него якобы диагностирован ишемический инсульт.

Source: rusmonitor.com...

Source: rusmonitor.com...

Writes:

Putin stroke?



The Russian mail Monitor "received a letter signed by an anonymous employee of the Central Clinical Hospital of the presidential administration of the Russian Federation (CDB) in Moscow, in which he reported that among this elite Moscow Hospital to which" attributed "the RUSSIAN leadership have been circulating rumors that Vladimir Putin a few days ago was diagnosed an ischemic stroke. The source said that the Chairman of the Russian President is not hospitalized.

Revision of the "Russian Monitors", cannot confirm or deny this information, which may well turn out to be false, but we cannot fail to note the fact that the President of Russia since the end of last week, did not appear in public, and his meeting with the Presidents of Belarus and Kazakhstan was unexpectedly canceled. Observers note that Putin's stay in power, but no such thing happened.

If Putin is debilitated by a stroke, it may explain why there is a palace coup taking place with him in a weakened position, with Russian Supreme Court president Vyacheslav Lebedev replacing PM Medvedev - and using canned footage of the two meeting which was broadcast the past day. (source)

The network claims the footage was made this past Friday, but there is some criticism that the footage is canned and made much earlier than claimed.



Of course, I don't think any of this will ever be officially confirmed, it will be presented as a smooth natural transition in power by all sides, with maybe Putin "retiring" for health reasons.

Guys, you now need the president, gather ...

Be brave guys - Putin moved to the next level in your game…

I've read and re-read these tweets over the past few hours.
They don't seem to make much sense other than maybe being some sort of coded message?
They have no real context or explanation.

Well if Russian officials start leaving other major population centers, I'd begin to worry.

If Russia was going to do a Pre-emptive strike, they would leave their people where they are, not bring them all home and raise a red flag to everyone.

That's "the woodpecker", alright.

Worrisome...does anyone know where the new signal is coming from? All the known Duga sites are confirmed scrap!

Audible does not match the new kontainer signals I've heard.

Lots of EAM activity on 8992 reported. Somebody trying to step on the EAM frequency with woodpecker spamming?!

Woodpecker says it's Russia, though, or at very least Duga-based tech. Can anyone compare/contrast waterfalls from new/old woodpecker(s)? Ears are not discerning enough.

In the picture above, Putin looks like someone trying to pretend their back isn't causing them hideous agony.

That really bothers me. All the Duga sites are scrapped, yet here is, for all intents and purposes, a Duga signal! I've never heard of any additional Duga sites, but it's surely possible.

You have a message.

Ahhhhh! I really respect your posts, Zaph, and I almost always raise an eyebrow when you join threads like this with concerns etc.... But I REALLY hate posts like this. Why can't you share with the rest of the class? Posts like that only imply that there is some "insider" knowledge, of which the rest of us are not privy to...

Sooo... Without breaking any rules, can't you give us some clue as to what this PM is about???

a reply to: Wookiep

Nothing important to the thread. I simply was passing on information and wanted to keep off topic posts to a minimum. We had already wandered off topic quite a bit.
