stand up comedian Slava Komissarenko

A court in Belarus has sentenced a stand-up comedian to six years in prison for insulting President Alexander Lukashenko and inciting hatred.

Slava Komissarenko, who is currently in the Czech Republic and was tried ‘in absentia’, was convicted of insulting and slandering the Belarusian head of state, and inciting racial, national, religious, or other social hatred or discord, the state-run BelTA news agency reported on Monday.

If he returns to Belarus, the comedian will serve a six-year sentence at a medium-security penal colony. The ruling can be appealed.

Komissarenko turned to political humor after a wave of anti-government protests in Belarus in 2020. The comedian repeatedly commented on the unrest in his stand-up gigs, supporting the opposition when it refused to recognize the results of the election, in which Lukashenko won a sixth term in office.

During his live shows in recent years, Komissarenko repeatedly joked about Lukashenko and impersonated the president, portraying him a hapless and needy person.

Legal proceedings against the performer were launched in August.

“You might be aware that I am wanted by the Belarusian KGB [security agency]. Judging by the fact that you can always find me and they cannot, Lukashenko does not indulge them with mobile internet,” he told the audience during a gig that same month.

Komissarenko made a name for himself on Russian TV and previously moved to Moscow. In 2021, after his performances were banned in Belarus, he obtained a Russian passport..

However, he left Russia in early 2022, citing persecution by the Belarusian security services. At the time, the KGB described the comedian’s claims as “complete nonsense.”

Since then, the 39-year-old has resided in Ukraine, Türkiye, Poland, and the Czech Republic. He has also been increasingly critical of Russia since the escalation of the conflict with Ukraine in February 2022.

A new hypersonic missile, conflict escalation and a warning for NATO: What you need to know from Putin’s latest address

The use of Western-made long-range missile systems in the Ukraine conflict has drastically changed its nature, the Russian leader has warned

Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a televised address from the Kremlin on Thursday evening, outlining Moscow’s response to recent escalations of the Ukraine conflict.

He revealed that Russia had deployed a new hypersonic missile system in a strike on Ukrainian territory, criticized the United States for escalating tensions, and reiterated Moscow’s willingness to engage in peace talks while blaming Washington for the conflict becoming global in nature.

Putin’s address comes after recent Ukrainian strikes inside Russia’s pre-2014 borders using Western-made long-range missiles, which mark a significant escalation of the conflict. His comments reflect growing tensions between Russia and the NATO countries, and signal the dangers of a potential shift toward a broader confrontation.

Deployment of the new Hypersonic Missile ‘Oreshnik’

Putin confirmed that Russia has used its latest hypersonic ballistic missile system, nicknamed ‘Oreshnik’ (Hazel in English), during a strike on a Ukrainian defense industry facility in Dnepropetrovsk on Thursday morning. The missile is part of Moscow’s new generation of medium-range weapons and reportedly travels at speeds of up to Mach 10 (2.5-3 kilometers per second).

The full transcript of Putin’s speech: ‘ : ‘It is not Russia but the US that has destroyed the system of international security’.. The Russian president addressed the nation from the Kremlin on Thursday evening, warning that ‘we consider ourselves entitled to use our weapons against the military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities.’…. Le Monde

Putin emphasized that no existing air or missile defense systems, including those deployed by the US in Europe, are capable of intercepting the Oreshnik. “There are no means of countering such weapons today,” he said, adding that the strike successfully hit one of Ukraine’s largest Soviet-era industrial complexes producing rocket technology.

The Americans are making the Ukraine conflict global

Putin accused the US and NATO of deliberately escalating the crisis by providing Kiev with long-range, high-precision weapons capable of striking Russian territory. This week, Ukraine used American-made ATACMS missiles and British Storm Shadow systems to strike targets in Russia’s Bryansk and Kursk Regions.

Putin said these attacks demonstrate the West’s intent to transform the Ukraine conflict into a global war. He stressed that these weapons could not be used without the direct involvement of US and NATO military specialists. “This regional conflict provoked by the West has now acquired global elements,” the president declared.

US defenses helpless against Russian hypersonic weapons

Putin highlighted the strategic advantage of Moscow’s new missile technology, stating that Western defense systems, including those at US bases in Europe, are powerless to intercept them. He framed the deployment of the Oreshnik system as a response to NATO’s increasingly aggressive actions, including Washington’s withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in 2019. “Missiles like Oreshnik are our answer to NATO’s plans to deploy medium- and shorter-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific,” he said.

Demented Biden ramps up Nuclear Brinkmanship on his way out the door – Caitlin Johnston

demented Biden ramps up Nuclear Brinkmanship on his way out the door

The New York Times reports that the Biden administration has authorized Ukraine to use US-supplied long-range missiles to strike Russian and North Korean [?] military targets inside Russia — yet another dangerous escalation of nuclear brinkmanship in this horrific proxy war.

The Times correctly notes that authorizing Ukraine to use ATACMS, which have a range of about 190 miles, has long been a contentious issue in the Biden administration for fear of provoking military retaliations against the US from Russia.

This reckless escalation has been authorized despite an acknowledgement from the anonymous US officials who spoke to The New York Times that they “do not expect the shift to fundamentally alter the course of the war.”

As Antiwar’s Dave DeCamp notes, Vladimir Putin said back in September that if NATO allows Ukraine to use western-supplied weapons for long-range strikes inside Russian territory, it would mean NATO countries “are at war with Russia.” This is about as unambiguous a threat as you’ll ever see.

NYT reports that Biden’s policy shift “comes two months before President-elect Donald J. Trump takes office, having vowed to limit further support for Ukraine.”

And it is here worth noting that last week it was reported by The Telegraph that British PM Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron had been scheming to thwart any attempt by Trump to scale back US support for Ukraine by pushing Biden to authorize long-range missile strikes in Russian territory.

But it is also true that the day before the US election Mike Waltz, Trump’s next national security advisor, had himself endorsed the idea of authorizing long-range missile strikes into Russia with the goal of pressuring Moscow to end the war.

His plan for disentangling the US from the conflict entails ramping up sanctions on Russia and “taking the handcuffs off the long-range weapons we provide Ukraine” in order to pressure Putin into eagerly accepting a peace deal.

Russian scientists make alarming 5G discovery- but dangers still not proven

Cellhone radiation has led to changes in the brain tissue of lab rats – but we don’t know what are any effects– ‘Nature’ survey finds few dangers

by thefreeonline / Home Russia/ Nature on November 18th, 2024 via https://wp.me/pIJl9-ELL Telegram t.me/thefreeonline

Controlled exposure to the 5G radiation spectrum has resulted in changes to the brain tissue of laboratory rats, according to a team of scientists from Tomsk State University (TSU) in Russia.

Ever since the introduction of 5G cellphone infrastructure, there have been concerns about its potential health effects. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has classified the 5G radio frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) as a “possible” human carcinogen, but no conclusive research has emerged either way.

“We decided to find out what the effect of non-ionizing radiation is on rodents of different ages,” Natalia Krivova, lead researcher at the TSU’s Biology and Biophysics Research Institute, said in a statement this week.

TSU scientists experimented on male Wistar rats, preferred by scientists for having similar reactions to external stimuli as humans. They tested three different age groups: 5-6 week old rats (corresponding to human adolescents), 10-11 week old (human adults age 40 and up) and rats aged 17-18 weeks (humans 65 and older). All were exposed to RF-EMF frequencies for five weeks, which is equivalent to about four years of human lifespan.

The study showed no outward changes between the rats exposed to the radiation and the control group.

“However, a more detailed study of the rats’ brain tissue after exposure to the 5G antenna revealed a significant change in the ratio of antioxidants and oxidants,” Krivova said.

It is still unclear whether the changes will lead to positive or negative changes in the rats’ cognitive abilities, or whether their bodies will somehow compensate for the disruption, she added, calling for further research into the subject.

The 5G rollout is a Big Capital bonanza, and history shows massive toxic health effects of new technology have been hidden in the past. However an extensive Research Study of hundreds of studies published in Nature. (here) has not shown clear dangers from 5G frequencies.

“Basically the higher the frequency the less it even penetrates our bodies”, which is why they need so many aerials. However various ‘unrepeated’ studies did show negative effects, also many studies are cerrtainly biased towards the corporations that fund them, and most of the worldwide studies were coordinated by ‘just five big groups’.

Ukraine: Mass Army Desertions as conscripts flee losing slaughter in ethnic Russian areas.

This text comes just after the 107th anniversary of the October Revolution, with its self-demobilization of the Russian army, which led to Russia’s withdrawal from World War I.. Today Ukraine is repeating this path.

Author Assembly.org.ua /via libcom from Thunderbird on November 11, 2024 via thefreeonline / https://wp.me/pIJl9-EKj Telegram t.me/thefreeonline

“The Ukrainian regime is still sponsored by western billions and endless armaments under ultra nationalist racist military rule. By now any man who can has fled the state or is in hiding. Opposition parties, media and elections are banned and the military is finally running out of conscripts with ‘half a million’ dead or injured. . The War is by now a pointless massacre as Russia slowly controls the disputed eastern oblasts, and whole brigades, many old, ill or totally untrained, are refusing if ordered to pointlessly fight on to the death without support.” November 2024

Ukraine: From a Wave of Desertion to Spontaneous Self-Demobilization

“In the lead-up to the US elections, the flight of personnel from the Ukrainian Armed Forces since the middle of 2024 took on the character of an avalanche, threatened to leave the regime without an army in the near future.

According to Ukraine’s Office of the Prosecutor General, from January 2022 to September 2024, almost 90 thousand criminal proceedings were opened because of such facts, and the majority were initiated since the beginning of the current year: 35,307 out of 59,606 cases of unauthorized leaving of a unit (Article 407 of the Criminal Code) and 18,196 out of 29,521 cases of desertion (Article 408 of the Criminal Code).

The largest number of desertions was registered in the regions of Zaporozhye (6,144), Kharkov (5,771) and Donetsk (5,318), while the regions of Donetsk (8,574), Dnepropetrovsk (3,308), Zhytomyr (2,433) and Lviv (2,170) are leading in terms of cases of unauthorized leaving of units (SZCh in Ukrainian). These are only the cases to which the authorities reacted.

However, even of these, only 4,698 cases of unauthorized leaving and 442 cases of desertion reached the court. 2,592 and 414 cases were closed, respectively (during the same period).

9,487 criminal proceedings were registered in Ukraine under the mentioned two articles in October 2024. For comparison, in January 2024, there were initiated only 3,448 criminal proceedings. And in total, from February 2022 to November 1, 2024, already 95,296 criminal cases were opened.

(The composition of one brigade in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is from 3 to 5 thousand persons.) Although both these articles may apply not only in the AFU, much less is heard about escapes from other Ukrainian armed structures, as, in particular, our interlocutor did, who deserted from the State Border Guard Service.

Since August, information has been leaking out from time to time about people who escaped their units before being sent to the Kursk operation. For example, the following was reported about the 82nd Airborne Assault Brigade, which took part in last year’s southern counteroffensive and is considered an elite and one of the best equipped units.

“On August 10, I found out that my acquaintance is in SZCh (unauthorized leaving of units) . They had to go to the Kursk [region], he says that more than 40 people left everything and went home. He says: “they gave me some dispatch letter, I looked at it and realized that it’s a one-way ticket.”

He doesn’t live in the place [where he is officially registered], got a job, I don’t know exactly how he got out, he doesn’t really want to talk about it. He has a normal medical form, he was a sergeant in the army, by conscription. He was taken near the house, but he wouldn’t budge, and then I learned that he’s at home.

How are the fascist movement in the USA, the Nazi Freedom Party and mercenaries in Ukraine connected? – geochronic.ru

In the course of our investigation, we uncovered the horrific connection between the Nazi Svoboda Party and foreign nationals regarding human trafficking, when people trafficked to the front lines of the struggle for the Kiev regime. This group of mercenary recruiters is associated with the American Nazi community, American Banderite Network (ABN) – their activities have previously been investigated by Western journalists.

Some are extremely active in social media, for example this one, in the chat of the international project against foreign mercenarism in ukraine. She gained our attention for minor comments she posted on telegram. This progressed into a full investigation.senior intelligence analyst in the field of security risk management, I am a former lieutenant detective and intelligence officer within French State agencies. The good pronunciation is Николай Чинкуини, in Russian

[In the iconography of the American Banderite Network (ABN), note the *Schwarze Sonne* or Black Sun, a legacy of *Reichsführer SS* Heinrich Himmler]

An analysis of the activities of this network revealed a group of outspoken Nazis, three of whom are Western foreign agents working directly with the Ukrainian Nazi party Svoboda, the Nazi battalion Svoboda and the National Guard of Ukraine. The names of these people are Lee Anthony Woodward, Lisa Mattaliano and Matt Wiskemann

This is an organised, dangerous, international group that works directly for Svoboda and the Kiev regime. It uses its network of foreign fighters to recruit people from economically poor regions. Svoboda and the Kiev regime uses its network of foreign agents to recruit people that are supporters of the of the “white nation” but also recruit from economically poor regions, such as Papua New Guinea, Kenya and Colombia.

After initially recruiting mercenaries and assembling them into groups, these Nazi recruiters then smuggle people to Ukraine via Poland, promising high pay for low-risk military work. Such as cooking or working in the rear areas. In fact, these people are being sent as human meat into machine gun fire and are under artillery fire in order to counter the batteries.

With the friendly support of hackers, we managed to obtain information that at present, a criminal terrorist conspiracy has taken place to recruit and assemble a group of mercenaries in the number of at least 25 people, to form a new unit as part of the Rubizh brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine. More than 60 percent of these people came from extremely poor countries…..

Whodunnit?: MYSTERY OF THE NORD STREAM 2 SABOTAGE SOLVED with new evidence?

by Clive Sulish at rebelbreeze on 23rd October 2024 via thefreeonlinetps at https://wp.me/pIJl9-ExJ Telegram t.me/thefreeonline

On 26 September 2022, explosions blew up sections of the Nord Stream deep sea gas pipelines from Russia to Germany. Investigations confirmed that it was an act of sabotage¹ but met a wall of silence and evasion in the West.

Amidst accusations and theories,² no perpetrator was conclusively identified.

But two years later, in September 2024, an important item of previously-suppressed information came to light in a Danish newspaper. It was not however picked up by the mainstream western media, despite its potentially crucial contribution to solving the mystery.

Alternative sources however alighted on it and it is now coming into the public light.

In any investigation of culpability for a human action, one of the first established principles to investigate is – and targets of investigation should be — cui bono? (in Latin, who benefits?). Next, Qui habet potestatem? — Who has the means? Finally, Who had the opportunity

Huge profits from Nord Stream sabotage – Global Times

Potentially, any in the anti-Russian coalition around NATO stood to benefit by harming not only a Russian installation but also a major source of financial benefit to Russia, i.e of sales of gas to Germany. Many eyes turned towards Russia’s opponent in the Ukraine, the Zelensky regime.

However, neither Russia nor any other serious commentators ever considered that NATO proxy to be the culprit. Russia and others stated that the operation required a major state, both in the depths concerned, in surface support needed and in the explosive type and detonation system.

A number of commentators pointed the finger at the USA, which denied any involvement. Well, the USA is a major state and certainly had the motive, as Russia was and remains its major target in the Ukraine war and it also had the potential technical and personnel means.

It would also of course, as an enemy of Russia, benefit from harm to its opponent. It would benefit the USA financially too, though that was yet to become clear.

From whom would Germany buy its power to warm its population and production through the winter as an alternative to Russian gas? That new source would turn out to be – yes, the USA.

In fact from the start the US had done everything possible to block the NordStream 2 pipeline with open threats and sanctions on construction companies. The main reason for any doubt on who did the sabotage is because the US has huge influence and control in the Western mass media.

OK, so suspicion should fall heavily on the USA, leader of NATO and chief among the enemies of Russia. But did it have the opportunity?

Since there was no record of a US naval presence in the area at the time of the explosion (even though they had been there previously in one of those major joint exercises they like to carry out to bring their allies closer and intimidate their opponents), the media investigation floundered.

Russia asked at the UN Security Council for an investigation, which was rejected. No decision of the Council can be made against a veto of even one of the five Permanent Members, of which three are part of the NATO coalition (USA, UK and France).

A number of alternative theories began to be put around, including mention of large yacht in the area and a Ukrainian oligarch financier. Official investigations were launched by two states in whose economic zone the operation must have taken place: Denmark and Sweden.³

Both regimes are part of the US/NATO/EU coalition and there may have been suspicions that their investigations might not be sufficiently thorough. In any case, in February this year both states closed their investigations without having identified the perpetrator.

Germany’s investigation is ongoing and it issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian oligarch who fled to NATO proxy Ukraine with assistance of NATO member Poland. However Russia and serious commentators have always said that a major state, something Ukraine is not, was culpable.
