Fears that three British ex-special forces troops have been killed by a Russian attack in Ukraine are being investigated.

UK authorities are investigating after dozens were killed in a missile strike close to the Ukrainian border with Nato member Poland on Sunday, amid unconfirmed reports that three Britons were among the casualties.

There has been no official confirmation of their deaths.

More than 30 missiles targeted a training facility in Yavoriv, less than 15 miles from the Polish border, according to the governor of Ukraine's western Lviv region. More than 130 people were injured.


Comment: As you'll read in the next article below, this was a major military facility and more than 180 fighters were killed.


Comment: RT reports:
Russia sends message to foreign mercenaries in Ukraine

Western governments encouraging their citizens to enlist in Ukraine will be responsible for their death, the Russian Ministry of Defense said Monday, vowing to continue the strikes such as the one that destroyed the Yavorov base and show no mercy to mercenaries.

"All locations of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine are known to us," Russian military spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov said in a statement on Monday. "I want to warn you again - there will be no mercy for the mercenaries, no matter where they are on the territory of Ukraine."

Konashenkov said a number of Western governments have encouraged their citizens to fight against Russian troops as mercenaries, adding that "all further responsibility for the death of this category of foreign citizens in Ukraine rests solely with the leadership of these countries."

"Targeted strikes will continue," Konashenkov said, specifically referring to Sunday's cruise missile attack on the military bases in Yavorov and nearby Starichi in western Ukraine.

According to Moscow, the missile salvo destroyed the facilities used by the "International Legion of Ukraine" and killed "up to 180 foreign fighters."

Kiev officials said that 35 people were killed and 130 injured in the attack on the International Center for Peacekeeping and Security, the official name of the military base near Yavorov. It had been used for years by NATO personnel to train Ukrainian troops.


Because the US has been preparing to attack Russia in this manner for decades.


While Ukrainian authorities insist that no foreign fighters were killed in the strike, several British outlets have reported that three former UK special forces operatives died at Yavorov, and "many more killed within the site than has been claimed." This has not been officially confirmed by London. Meanwhile, Washington insisted no "US troops, contractors or civilian government workers" were present at Yavorov.

Moscow sent troops into Ukraine last month, citing seven years of failure by Kiev to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements and make peace with the breakaway regions of Donetsk and Lugansk. Russia had recognized the two Donbass republics as independent states just days earlier. Kiev has accused Moscow of an unprovoked attack.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) cemented a $10 billion deal for a refining and petrochemical complex in China on Friday, meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping who urged joint efforts to counter extremism and terrorism.

The Saudi delegation, including top executives from state-owned oil company Saudi Aramco, arrived on Thursday on an Asia tour that has already seen the kingdom pledge an investment of $20 billion in Pakistan and seek to make additional investments in India's refining industry.

Saudi Arabia signed 35 economic cooperation agreements with China worth a total of $28 billion at a joint investment forum during the visit, the Saudi state news agency SPA said.

Comment: The current geo-economic reshuffle is shunning the West. A new age in commerce has dawned, playing to cooperative strengths.

Blinken says new Russian demands on Iran nuclear deal 'irrelevant'

Chisinau, Moldova • March 6, 2022
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday dismissed as "irrelevant" Russian demands for guarantees that new sanctions linked to Ukraine will not affect Moscow's rights under a reworked Iran nuclear deal.

With the parties to the Iran agreement, which the US abandoned in 2018, now seemingly close to a new accord, Blinken rejected fresh demands voiced Saturday by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

The sanctions on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine "have nothing to do with the Iran nuclear deal," Blinken said on CBS talk show Face the Nation.

They "just are not in any way linked together, so I think that's irrelevant," he said, speaking from Moldova, a small country on Ukraine's southwest border. Blinken added it was not only in America's interest but Russia's as well that Iran not be able "to have a nuclear weapon or the capacity to produce a weapon on very, very short order."

UPDATED: The case of the imprisoned publisher of WikiLeaks now moves to the Home Secretary Priti Patel. Assange's lawyers are set to cross appeal.

Julian Assange, the publisher of WikiLeaks, has been denied his petition to appeal the High Court's decision to extradite him to the United States, where he faces up to 175 years in prison for publishing U.S. state secrets that revealed evidence of American war crimes.

The next possible step for Assange to forestall extradition is to ask the High Court to hear a cross appeal against the lower court's judgement. Assange's attorneys on Monday indicated that that would likely be their next step.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked Facebook for its role in helping him win the propaganda war after the platform announced it would permit calls for violence against Russians.

Following its move to allow praise for the pro-Ukraine neo-nazi Azov Battalion last week, Facebook said they would permit 'calls for violence against Russians'. A Meta spokesperson said in a statement:
"As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine we have temporarily made allowances for forms of political expression that would normally violate our rules like violent speech such as 'death to the Russian invaders.' We still won't allow credible calls for violence against Russian civilians."
Moscow responded by banning both Facebook and Instagram in Russia.

Moscow is ready to pay off its debts, but half of the nation's forex reserves are frozen abroad.

Washington and its allies want to push Russia into an "artificial default" by making it impossible to pay off the country's foreign debts despite having the money to do so, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said on Monday.
"The freezing of foreign currency accounts of the Bank of Russia and of the Russian government can be regarded as the desire of a number of foreign countries to engineer an artificial default which has no real economic grounds."
The latest wave of Western sanctions over the crisis in Ukraine targeted Russia's banking and financial sectors, with nearly half of the country's foreign currency reserves, worth $300 billion, frozen by foreign central banks.

CIA black site detainee abused as training prop to teach interrogators torture techniques

A detainee at a secret CIA detention site in Afghanistan was used as a living prop to teach trainee interrogators, who lined up to take turns at knocking his head against a plywood wall, leaving him with brain damage, according to a US government report.

The details of the torture of Ammar al-Baluchi are in a 2008 report by the CIA's inspector general, newly declassified as part of a court filing by his lawyers aimed at getting him an independent medical examination.

Baluchi, a 44-year-old Kuwaiti, is one of five defendants before a military tribunal on Guantánamo Bay charged with participation in the 9/11 plot, but the case has been in pre-trial hearings for 10 years, mired in a dispute over legal admissibility of testimony obtained after torture.

According to the inspector general's report, the CIA was aware that the 2003 rendition of the detainee, Ammar al-Baluchi, from Pakistani custody to the "black site" north of Kabul was conducted "extra-legally," because at the time he was in Pakistani jurisdiction and no longer represented a terrorist threat.

SOTT Focus: Objective:Health - Preparing Ourselves for "Food 2.0"

Tue, 15 Mar 2022 00:00 UTC
O:H header
As we've seen circulating in the corporate press as of late, the idea that there won't be food shortages in the near future seems highly unlikely. Whether they blame it on Russia, truckers, the Coronavirus or any other bad guy de rigueur, (but never squarely on the shoulders of the governments, where it most seems to fit), it seems highly likely that the #bareshelvesbiden trend is only going to get more widespread, and more intense.

On this episode of Objective:Health, we talk about how food shortages are being used to usher in the new Great Reset paradigm of ultra-processed plant-based foods, insect-based, lab-grown protein food substitutes. You'll eat the bugs, because that's all that's offered.

But is there a defense against this? We also talk about necessary measures for preparedness on this show. If we're prepared for the worst, we won't be subject to the whims of the "you'll own nothing and be happy" crowd.

Join us for our scintillating discussion of what's coming down the pipe and the best way to prepare for it on this edition of Objective:Health.

US admits to funding biological laboratories in Ukraine, with Dilyana Gaytandzhieva

State Department official Victoria Nuland admitted that the US government is funding biological laboratories in Ukraine, confirming what Washington has long dismissed as "Russian propaganda." Correspondent Dan Cohen interviews journalist Dilyana Gaytandzhieva, who has investigated these facilities in Eastern Europe.

On March 8, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland commented on a recent Russian Ministry of Defense announcement it had obtained documents proving the existence of biological weapons programs in laboratories financed by the United States in Ukraine.
Sen. Marco Rubio: Does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?

Victoria Nuland: Ukraine has biological research facilities which, in fact, we're now quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how we can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach.

Sen. Marco Rubio: I'm sure you're aware that the Russian propaganda groups are already putting out there all kinds of information about how they have uncovered a plot by the Ukrainians to unleash biological weapons in the country, and with NATO's coordination. If there is a biological or chemical weapon incident or attack inside Ukraine, is there any doubt in your mind that 100% it would be the Russians behind it?

Victoria Nuland: There is no doubt in my mind, senator. And in fact, it is a classic Russian technique to blame the other guy for what they are planning to do themselves.

Tulsi Gabbard demands Mitt Romney resign over comments that she is 'treasonous liar'

mitt romney tulsi gabbard
Tulsi Gabbard, veteran, former congresswoman for Hawaii and outspoken critic of both Biden and the GOP, had harsh words for Utah Senator Mitt Romney after he accused her of treason and being a Russian propaganda parrot, and called for his resignation.

Gabbard released a video talking about her concerns regarding the labs in Ukraine.


Comment: Gabbard is one of the few in congress that are actually out there making sense. Of course, the establishment can't have that and establishment hacks like Romney need to spread the idea that what she is saying is "treasonous". Truth is equated with treason when the party line is built on lies.
