A source close to the Black Sea Command has given outlet Meduza the number of those dead from the attack/explosion on the Moskva to be 37, with some missing and about a hundred wounded.

Note that the majority of these people are from New York, the heart of the financial mafia/banksters and of the academic-media propaganda matrix. Note that a number come from New Jersey, which, with New York, is a hotbed of Democrat politics. Note the number of the signatories from activist organizations. Note also that there are a large number of what seem to be Ukrainian names, as well as J**ish names. “Russian”  covers a lot of things, just as “American” does. That is why identitarian analysis is vital.

CNN:

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has moved one step closer to being extradited to the United States, where he is set to be tried under the Espionage Act, after a London court sent his handover order to the British government for approval.

The court issued a formal extradition order in a hearing Wednesday, leaving UK Home Secretary Priti Patel to rubber-stamp his transfer to the US after a years-long legal wrangle. Assange is able to appeal the decision.

He is wanted in the US on 18 criminal charges after WikiLeaks published thousands of classified files and diplomatic cables in 2010. If convicted, Assange faces up to 175 years in prison.

Well, yes, of course.

The rumor is he has been in Israel for around a month. Is he a dual citizen? I don’t know. Is he Jewish? Don’t know. He is apparently very much an atheist and very anti-Christian. Unfortunately, I could not find English subs for the video below or for the Ukraine war prediction video from 2021. Let’s hope the security services thoroughly check out what he was doing in 2020 with those “businessmen” who were all “Russian Orthodox” who bought the relic and gave it to Osipov. That suggests that Ukrainians and NATO were planning the war from at least then. That would help to legally validate the Special Military Operation.

The Daily Mail reports that Russian military sites have been made visible on its maps, while Google insists that they have always been visible. This comes at the same time as the official launch of Russia’s major offensive in the Donbas.

A Google spokesperson insisted that there has been no change in policy of blurring sensitive sites and that the images have always been available.

A Google spokesperson said: ‘We haven’t made any blurring changes to our satellite imagery in Russia.’

Sensitive military installations in the UK are also visible on Google Maps, including the Royal Navy’s flagship aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth in its home port of Portsmouth.

It should be noted that the images are not thought to be up-to-the-minute and sometimes satellite images are not updated for years, meaning that the configuration of Russian ships and hardware could be very different today.

Update: On second thoughts, there has been extensive bombing in Kharkiv recently and I know I posted a few days ago that the Internet was down. Since then thousands of buildings have been turned into rubble. Maybe Lira lost his internet connection and then had to evacuate…..or, sad thought, he got caught in one of those buildings.

ORIGINAL POST

Gonzalo Lira, the Chilean/American businessman whose reports from Kharkiv made him an internet star, seems to have gone missing.
I didn’t post this earlier, because Lira has previously gone dark for a few days and there was a good chance this was again the case. However, this time, there seems to be some reason to believe that the Ukrainian police/secret service might have apprehended him.

The UN makes a proposal:

As “a measure of progress to build upon,” the UN chief said, noting that over the past seven weeks, some 2.5 million people have been provided with assistance, including many in the east.

“For all these life-or-death reasons, I call on Russians and Ukrainians to silence the guns and forge a path to safety for so many at immediate risk,” he appealed.

Stop the bloodshed and destruction – UN chief

“The four-day Easter period should be a moment to unite around saving lives and furthering dialogue to end the suffering in Ukraine

It is not enough for one side to stop. Both sides, including NATO and its members, must also stop covert assistance, cheer leading, and lies that provoke and inflame.

The story of the Moskva keeps getting more and more interesting.

There is a report that the relic of the “true cross” bought from a Catholic church by Russian Orthodox businessmen and given to Admiral Osipov, until now the Commander of the Black Sea Fleet,  cost $40 million.  The relic was installed in the chapel of the ship in a grand ceremony because the admirals believed that it would make the ship invincible.

The source of the information about the price and the ceremony is a well-connected former Russian MP who is an anti-religion and anti-Putin critic, Alexander Nevzorov.

Nevzorov, 63, lives outside Russia now.

Nevzorov questions if the wooden sliver that was the relic was actually in the 19th century metal cross in which it was supposed to have been embedded or not? If not, the money was just wasted.

According to TASS the relic was given in 2020 February by anonymous donors to Sergiy Khalyuta the Archpriest of Sebastopol who was friendly with Admiral Osipov, the commander of the Black Sea Fleet. Khalyuta claims the Admiral was going to install it in the ship’s chapel, but whether he actually did so or not, is unclear. Although the TASS report is dated 2020, other reports citing it have stated that the relic was actually given on Feb 26, 2022 to the Admiral. I suspect it is just a misreading of the original report, but I could be wrong.

But consider the propaganda value of the true cross failing to protect the flagship, named Moskva [Moscow], and that too during Easter Week in the West.  Consider that the Moskva was the ship made famous by the expletive-laden defiance of the Ukrainians on Snake Island threatened by it, a defiance now memorialized in stamps  with the slogan, “Russian warship go f*** yourself.” The Ukrainian ambassador to the US told Congress all 13 defiant soldiers died rather than surrender,  but the Russians counted 82 Ukrainian servicemen who surrendered and within a few days the Ukrainians themselves confirmed that no one had died.

Snake Island was February 26, 2022. Two years to the day when the relic was delivered to Khalyuta.

Consider that Catholic relics are not supposed to be sold. In fact, it is illegal to do so. Was that the reason for the anonymity of the donors? How then did they buy it?

And how did Alexander Nevzorov get to know about it at the time?

What did Nevzorov also get to know that made him make this video in 2021 in which with a certainty that is startling he says a Russo-Ukrainian war will end with regime change for Russia, led by the military. His lengthy diatribe also predicts fierce Ukrainian resistance,  large Russian casualties, commanders killing themselves, and the hulls of ships disintegrating as though held together only with paint.

Nevzorov a muck-raker, is a veteran media personality whose one-time show “600 seconds” exposed corruption and crime in the early 1990s, especially that brought on by communist apparatchiks. He is a self-described monarchist.

He is also the first major media personality to be probed under new legislation banning spreading false stories about the Russian military operation. Nevzorov was charged on March 23rd for publishing the false story that the Russians had bombed the Mariupol maternity hospital.

The publications were accompanied by inaccurate photographs of civilians affected by the shelling,” investigators said, adding that the pictures had been first published by Ukrainian media.

Nevzorov does not believe there are Nazis in Ukraine

and he is a supporter of Alexander Navalny, another Putin critic who has recently been jailed for fraud.

He confesses that he hates Orthodoxy, especially the conservative beliefs of Dostoevsky, whose ideas he calls Russian Nazism.

An interesting person to know all about how an Orthodox relic got into the Moskva, sank with it, and thereby discredited the “Russian Nazis”…
