The Fort Bragg murders

At least 44 Fort Bragg soldiers died stateside in 2020 — several of them were homicides. Families want answers. But the Army isn't giving any

Three weeks before Christmas, in the piney woods outside of Fort Bragg, North Carolina, a deer hunter came across the fallout from a firefight that, to date, no one has been able to explain. A tricked-out Chevy Colorado with matte-black wheels and racing tires was stuck in a rut on a dirt road near Lake MacArthur. In the bed of the truck and on the ground beside it were two dead men. Both had been killed by gunshots, and according to news reports, shell casings were scattered on the ground. Yet there were no firearms to be found at the scene, and no trace of the third man, the surviving shooter. There had to have been at least one.

The man on the ground, who had been dropped by a single bullet to the right temple, was 44-year-old Timothy Dumas. People who knew him tell me that in life, he fit a certain kind of American archetype: the wannabe special-forces guy, a fake operator who, in order to impress people or intimidate them, passed himself off as an ex-commando. He had served 19 years in the Army, including time in the 7th Special Forces Group at Fort Bragg, but as a property book officer, a glorified supply sergeant.

Thousands of people took part in Sunday's march on the French Mediterranean island of Corsica, in solidarity with independence militant and convicted murderer Yvan Colonna, himself grievously injured in a recent attack by a fellow prison inmate. The suspected attacker is facing terrorist charges and an investigation is underway.

The police estimated the number of participants in Sunday's protest in Corte at 4,200. March organisers said 15,000 people took part.

Banners in French and Corsican read "Bless you Yvan", "France Shit!" and "French State Assassination".

Local government leader Gilles Simeoni, who took part in the protest, said people were angry and unhappy at the treatment of Colonna. "They don't understand," he said. "Paris would do well to listen."

Man arrested after driving ecclesiastical supplies truck into gates of Russian embassy in Ireland

russia embassy
An Irish man has been arrested after driving a truck through the gates of the country's Russian embassy on Monday, The Irish Times reports. The embassy also accused Irish law enforcement — known as the Garda — of standing by.

The driver, Desmond Wisley, has been arrested for criminal damage and is currently in custody. There were no injuries.

"The incident took place in the presence of Garda officers, who stood idle," said a Russian embassy spokesperson in response. "The embassy strongly condemns this criminal act of insanity directed against a peaceful diplomatic mission. The embassy views this incident as a clear and blatant violation of Article 22 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961."

"The incident is cause of extreme concern," the spokesperson continued, noting the embassy is in contact with Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs.

Comment: The actions of the people are unlikely to reflect an act of conscience, it actually reveals how a startling number of gullible and easily programmed people can be triggered into acting as pawns to further the interests of the establishment, against the best interests of themselves. Because even mainstream media admits that the neo-Nazi's are in Ukraine, not Russia. It's the US, via Ukraine, that was threatening Russia with nukes.

To further emphasize the point: where were these protesters amidst the West's backing of the Saudi's war on Yemen? A years long, war of aggression that has received little mainstream media attention but that has resulted in the deaths of over 100,000 people, with millions suffering starvation, and causing what the UN called the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

It's also rather curious, even if coincidental, that the truck used for the ramming was an ecclesiastical supplies truck.

Russian gains in Donbas and tactical pause in northeast: twelfth day of operations in Ukraine

The last few days were marked by active offensive operations of Russian forces in the region of Donbas as well as a new demonstration of the anti-human posture of the Kyiv government towards its own citizens.

On March 5 and 6, Russia and the DPR made two attempts to evacuate civilians from Mariupol and Volnovakha. Mariupol is fully surrounded by Russian forces and people's militia of Donbas, while Volnovakha remains blocked from the south, east and west. The northern route from it is under fire control of the Russians.

Nevertheless, in both cases, Ukrainian units denied the evacuation via the humanitarian corridor towards Zaporizhzhya. At the same time, they opened fire at people that tried to leave towards the territory controlled by Russia and the DPR.

In the evening of March 6, active offensive operations in the area were resumed. The advance on Mariupol was developed from the northern and eastern directions. Intense clashes erupted in Volnovakha. DPR units control about half of the town and now work to eliminate its remaining garrison.

The third direction of the advance in this area of operations was the town of Gulyaipole and surrounding settlements. On the evening of March 6, Russian forward units entered the town after a series of artillery strikes on military objects and positions of Kyiv's forces. This became another success in the operation to deny the ability of Ukrainian units to withdraw towards Zaporizhzhya from their positions west and southwest of Donetsk city.

Comment: While Russia is trying to help and evacuate civilians, the nazi Ukrainian forces are using them as a human shield and that is why they don't let them evacuate.

Statement by the Chief of the Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection troops of the Russian Federation Armed Forces Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov

Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov
The Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation has repeatedly drawn attention to the biological programmes implemented by the Pentagon in the post-Soviet area.

Including the territory of Ukraine that has united a chain of more than 30 biological laboratories divided into those for scientific research and for sanitary-epidemiological investigations.

Those works have been ordered by the Defence Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). A firm affiliated to the defence department (Black and Veatch above all others) are involved in the implementation of the projects.

The works refer to three main branches. In the first place, it refers to the biological situation observation in the areas of possible deployment of the NATO military contingents, according to the Pentagon. In the second place, it is dedicated to collecting and transporting the strains of dangerous microorganisms. The third branch of activity refers to scientific investigations on potential biological weapons agents that are specific for that region, possessing natural focuses and able to be transmitted to humans.

Russian opinion polls show support for Kremlin was surging before the military operation began - and has continued

putin surge wave
Nationwide polls revealed brimming Russian confidence in the future and also in the political leadership of the country in the month of February, before the announcement by President Vladimir Putin of the military operation against the US plan of attack in Ukraine.

The single largest jump in confidence in Putin and in Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin was registered in the week of February 20 to 27; that's between Putin's speech of February 21 announcing the US plan of attack and Russian recognition of the Donetsk (DPR) and Lugansk (LPR) people's republics, and his speech of February 24 initiating the full-scale operation to demilitarize the Ukraine.

The first, and so far the only Russian poll to have been taken on the operation itself and published on March 5, shows 84% public support for the army, the highest level ever recorded; and 71% approval for the operation in the Ukraine. Disapproval was reported by one in five Russians, 21%. The poll was taken by telephone last week, and was published by the All-Russian Centre for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM) on March 5.

Roughly one-half of Russians back the demilitarization objective and say they believe the military campaign aims to defend Russia and prevent the deployment of NATO bases on Ukrainian territory. Support for the de-Nazification objective is less. One in five believes the operation is being carried out to purge the Ukrainian fascists and change the political course of the Kiev government toward Russia (19%); 18% think the goal is to protect the Russian-speaking population of the DPR and LPR.

'We will never go back to Ukraine': DPR fighter jailed for his views by Kiev talks to RT

With the military operation taking place in Ukraine, some might ask - how will the locals react? Eight years ago, the general consensus was that the southern and eastern regions were pro-Russian, but then the Kiev regime started to brutally repress activists who wanted closer ties with Moscow. An aggressive war propaganda campaign was launched targeting Russia.

RT spoke about this with Vladislav Dolgoshey, an activist from Odessa who spent four years in jail after being charged with "pro-Russian subversive activities" without any proof. In 2019, he was released as part of a prisoner exchange. After this interview, Vladislav went to the frontline as a volunteer and joined the People's Militia of the Donetsk People's Republic.

Ports are open: Ron DeSantis announces global shipping company moving some operations from California to Florida

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced Friday that the global shipping company Sea-Lead Shipping is moving part of its operations from California to Jacksonville, Florida — another victory for the governor, whose state's ports have increased their capacity to help alleviate the nationwide supply chain crisis.

Speaking from Jacksonville, Florida, DeSantis spoke of the continued supply chain disruptions caused largely by "bad COVID policy," which has continued to increase prices of goods. While he emphasized that Florida cannot control federal fiscal policy, the state is trying to alleviate the burden and has been for months.

Last fall, DeSantis made it clear that Florida ports remained open, with some even offering incentives for businesses to move their cargo through Sunshine State ports. This has proven to be successful, as the Port of Miami, for instance, saw an increase in cargo in 2021, and much of it was attributed to imports from Asia that would normally go to California. However, they redirected to Florida "because they know they can operate efficiently," DeSantis said.


Comment: Nice to see a politician solve a problem rather than make one.

Groups of right-wing Ukrainian nationalists are committing war crimes in the rebel-held territories of Eastern Ukraine, according to a report from Amnesty International, as evidence emerged in local media of the volunteer militias beheading their victims.

Armed volunteers who refer to themselves as the Aidar battalion "have been involved in widespread abuses, including abductions, unlawful detention, ill-treatment, theft, extortion, and possible executions", Amnesty said.

The organisation has also published a report detailing similar alleged atrocities committed by pro-Russian militants, highlighting the brutality of the conflict which has claimed over 3,000 lives.
