'Where is the outrage?': the IDF has been seen gunning down, bulldozing Palestinians who wave white flag – report
Independent journalist and RT correspondent Rachel Blevins sat down with Sputnik’s The Critical Hour to discuss the recent atrocity.
Al Jazeera released a video showing Israeli soldiers gunning down two Palestinians on the coast of northern Gaza, even as one of the Palestinians appears to be waving a piece of white fabric. The footage also shows one of the men walking in the direction of an Israeli military vehicle with both his hands raised, a recent report claimed. The Israeli soldiers then buried the bodies of slain Palestinians with a bulldozer.

Independent journalist and RT correspondent Rachel Blevins sat down with Sputnik’s The Critical Hour to discuss the recent atrocity.
“It's yet another horrific video as you were describing it there,” said Blevins. “It's horrific to think about, and yet, we have the video evidence, and this is just one of several videos showing Israel committing very clear war crimes. It's not much of a debate about this, about who did this or who was it done to - we know, all of the evidence is there. And yet, as you were pointing out, the Biden administration has done nothing.”

“Their [the US] claim that Israel is following international law is based on the fact that they were given assurances by Israel's defense minister---again, the guy who said 'no food, no fuel, no water'---that he sent a letter to the US earlier this month literally saying we're not violating international law, we're not blocking humanitarian assistance,” Blevins said, in reference to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant who announced a complete siege on the city of Gaza.

Ukraine being destroyed from within by Zelensky government corruption – ex-diplomat
“Ukraine's population, first of all, dropped not only since 2014, it dropped dramatically since 1991 when Ukraine got its independence,” noted former Ukrainian diplomat Andrii Telizhenko. “We had 52 million people living in Ukraine, and then within almost the 25-year range it dropped to… 45 million people. 7 million people died or left Ukraine within 25 years of its independence.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made comments recently acknowledging Ukraine’s declining birthrate, claiming the country is in need of increased foreign aid to address the issue. But Telizhenko says endemic corruption has destroyed the country from within since 1991.
“Pensions are not being paid,” Telizhenko explained. “They're asking that money to be paid from abroad. Zelensky – when he was going into this war agreeing not to support the Minsk agreements, the Istanbul accords, the peace deal – he should have understood that the country doesn't have the money, the capacity, the economic capacity to sustain itself.”

“Now, of course, there's much, much less people,” the ex-diplomat continued. “Eight million left for Europe, 1.5 [million] went to Russia… and Belarus. So, this is a huge, staggering number of people leaving because, first of all, they don't see prosperity, they don't have security – not only because of the war, but, first of all, from the government itself.”
“Pensions are not being paid,” Telizhenko explained. “They're asking that money to be paid from abroad.

US political support for the ‘terrorist’ Ukraine regime evaporating – journalist
Russian media has revealed new links between the Kiev regime and last week’s terrorist attack outside Moscow, with cash and cryptocurrency provided to the attackers found to have come from Ukraine.
As the increasingly desperate regime launches attacks on Russian civilians in Belgorod and elsewhere, speculation has intensified that elements within Ukraine’s military and intelligence service may have played a role in last Friday’s incident. Independent journalist Dan Lazare joined Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program Friday to weigh in on the claim.
“We can't help but harken back to the assassination of Darya Dugina in 2022. That was the daughter of the Russian political philosopher Aleksandr Dugin,” the journalist added. “She was killed in a car bomb in Russia. At first the Ukrainian government denied any involvement whatsoever, and the US backed it up. And then a few weeks later the US admitted that the act was done by the SBU, the Ukrainian intelligence service.”

Independent journalist Dan Lazare joined Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program Friday to weigh in on the claim.
“To me, the fact that four of the accused were apprehended while making a dash for the Ukrainian border and were caught just a short distance away – I mean, to me that speaks volumes,” said Lazare. “It certainly strongly suspects that there were collaborators on the Ukrainian side.”

And then a few weeks later the US admitted that the act was done by the SBU, the Ukrainian intelligence service.”
“I strongly suspect we'll learn the same thing here,” said Lazare, suggesting Ukrainian officials may have played a role in the “act of brutal terrorism.” “And, if that is true, if my suspicions prove correct, this will be a real game changer. Russia will feel justified in responding… and the US will not be in a position to say no to Russia and will have a very hard time continuing its political support of Kiev.”

Is ISIS-K* another tool of the CIA?
The Biden administration’s immediate attempt to blame terrorist group ISIS-K for last Friday’s terrorist attack outside Moscow has generated suspicion, noted The Critical Hour host Wilmer Leon. “Now we find out that this whole ISIS-K, which was supposed to be created in Afghanistan, that the leader of the organization actually has ties – and numerous ties – to the CIA,” he noted.
“A study found out that most of the equipment, ammunition and weaponry that ISIS was using in Syria had come from the US,” he added.
The United States has historically utilized Islamic extremists to help achieve its geopolitical objectives, perhaps most famously when the country backed Islamist "resistance groups" known as the mujahideen in their fight against the the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Some Mujahideen fighters went on to form al-Qaeda, which tragically struck within the United States on September 11, 2001.
More recently the US has backed Islamic extremists in Syria in its effort to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad. The country’s destabilization has allowed ISIS to find safe haven, another extremist group that emerged in the aftermath of the United States’ disastrous 2003 invasion of Iraq.
* ISIS (also known as Daesh/ISIL/IS/ISIS-K/Islamic State) is a terrorist group banned in Russia and many other countries.

How Barack Obama’s ‘minstrel imperialism’ gave cover to US foreign policy - journalist
The precipitous decline of Israel’s international standing has brought renewed attention to the colonial roots of the crisis in Palestine. Author Jon Jeter joined Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program to discuss how the United States perpetuates Palestinians’ subjugation and how former President Barack Obama put a black face on US imperialism.
“The 60s called, they want their media back,” said the two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist as Western media is flooded with bigoted characterizations of Haitians and Palestinians. Recently, false rumors about cannibalism in Haiti have flooded social media, while Israel spreads debunked atrocity propaganda about mass rapes alleged to have taken place on October 7.
The tradition of minstrel shows, in which racist depictions of African Americans were used to perpetuate bigoted stereotypes, is understood in the US as implying someone is upholding white supremacist power and narratives, even if they themselves are Black.
Leon’s accusation, shared by many, is that Obama strengthened the purchase of Western imperialism and its racist, colonial underpinnings by serving as a Black mascot for US policy. Massive racial disparities continue to exist within the United States while US foreign policy subjugates non-European peoples around the world, with one study by Brown University estimating that at least 3.6 million have died as a result of the United States’ so-called “War on Terror.”

That leads us to Linda Thomas-Greenfield, it leads us to Hakeem Jeffries, it leads us to Gregory Meeks. It leads us to Kamala – all of these Black faces: as I have dubbed it, ‘minstrel imperialism.’”

US military struggles to adapt to fighting adversary that can fight back - report
In a hagiographic article ennoscriptd “Preparing for a China war, the Marines are retooling how they’ll fight,” ruling class stenographer Ellen Nakashima blithely considers the prospect of fighting a war against a nuclear-armed country of 1.4 billion people. The piece, appearing in The Washington Post, details the US Marine Corps’ efforts to adapt to what she appears to believe is an inevitable, and desirable, conflict with China.
“The Marines are striving to adapt to a maritime fight that could play out across thousands of miles of islands and coastline in Asia,” writes Nakashima, admitting the armed service has devoted the last 20 years to fighting less capable forces in the Middle East.
China’s links with Taiwan go back hundreds of years. In the 1950s the United States attempted to cleave the island off from the country after the Chinese Civil War. As the defeated Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan the US threatened to use nuclear bombs if China crossed the Taiwan Strait, effectively balkanizing China as the US attempted to do in Vietnam.

“China not only has the region’s largest army, navy and air force, but also home-field advantage,” she continues, apparently under the impression the US will be allowed to attack China without suffering retribution on its own shores. “Taiwan, a close US partner, is most directly in the crosshairs.”

“This one unit alone is not going to save the world,” Nakashima admiringly quotes a Marines PR official.

❗️ Sputnik has discovered a possible cryptocurrency wallet intermediary in the terrorist attack at Crocus
A cryptocurrency wallet, the number of which was posted on Voice of Khorasan, a Telegram channel linked to ISIS-K, reportedly transferred a sum amounting to about half of what was promised to the terrorists on the day of the attack at Crocus. Details:
▪️ The wallet in question is on the Tronscan platform. It first became active on March 13, 2024, when tokens for the small amount of $2.19 were received there. The number of this wallet appeared in one of the extremists' channels the day before.
▪️ The channel in question was run by an admin with the nickname Mavlavi_56. The same user also managed another Telegram channel called Voice of Khorasan. According to a source, the second Telegram channel was used to recruit the terrorists who attacked Crocus.
▪️ Mavlavi_56 published a post three times with the noscript "Collecting funds to help captive families and children - Mujahid – Muhajirs," where the address of the abovementioned wallet was given (once on March 18 and twice on March 20).
▪️ On the day of the tragedy, serious activity started in the wallet. There were four transfers of $325, $550, $550, and $1,100. The first one, for $325, took place at around 10 a.m. (presumably an advance payment), the rest were made from 21.30 to 22.30 Moscow time (1.5 h - 2 h after the first reports about the terrorist attack). Almost immediately, the amounts left the wallet in an unknown direction.
▪️ Adding up all four transfers makes $2,525, or about 232,000 rubles (at an exchange rate of about 92 rubles per dollar at the time). One of the accused, Faridun Shamsiddin, said after his arrest that he had been promised half a million rubles for the attack and that about half of it was transferred to a card.
▪️ The day after the terrorist attack, no transactions were carried out using this cryptocurrency wallet.

The extremist Telegram channel that collected funds for the terrorists who attacked Crocus reportedly previously included a US-issued bank card.
▪️ Mention of a card opened in the United States appeared on February 29, when collecting funds for other purposes (not for "assistance to the mujahideen"). Its identification number – 4100 – indicates that it was released in the United States.
▪️ When entering its number in the line for transfer from a Russian bank app, a US flag symbol appears with the message "The country of issue of the card is the USA. Transfer to this card is not available."
▪️ As for the administrator of the channels going under the nickname Mavlavi_56, through which money was collected for the terrorists, a user with a similar nickname appeared in an earlier publication by the US-based Harriman Institute noscriptd "Tajik IS* Network Raises Funds in Russia." It mentioned the administrator of the Tajik-language channels "Devotion and Loyalty" and the same "Voice of Khorasan." However, the administrator’s nickname was slightly different – Mavlavi55.

Russia has created a "Lodyr" deceptive protection system for FPV drone operators
Russian FPV drones operators have obtained a deceptive protection system called Lodyr (lit. Slacker) that imitates drone calculations and thereby seriously complicates the search for real targets by Ukrainian forces, Dmitry Kuzyakin, the general director of the Center for Development of Integrated Unmanned Solutions, told Sputnik.
The demand for such a system is explained by the fact that modern electronic reconnaissance tools can quickly determine the launch point of an FPV drone, even if it does not have GPS installed.
Kuzyakin emphasized that Ukraine conducts a targeted hunt for Russian FPV operators as the most valuable part of the unmanned system operating: "The equipment can be restored, but the experience of the guys and the time spent on their training cannot be replenished."

"We have created the Lodyr system to protect our FPV [drone] combat missions. It is a fake drone operator that fully imitates an FPV device application in the air: there is a fake control panel, a video transmission radio channel module, and a remote shutdown tool," he said.
The demand for such a system is explained by the fact that modern electronic reconnaissance tools can quickly determine the launch point of an FPV drone, even if it does not have GPS installed.
"If you launch only your [actual] FPV drone, it is like turning a single bright lamp in a dark room, it is very easy to break, but if you turn on several dozen bulbs of the same power, the desired target becomes much more difficult to determine," he explained.
Kuzyakin emphasized that Ukraine conducts a targeted hunt for Russian FPV operators as the most valuable part of the unmanned system operating: "The equipment can be restored, but the experience of the guys and the time spent on their training cannot be replenished."

Ukraine was one of the main trial sites for a drug causing various forms of cancer, which was tested on patients at a Mariupol hospital
Sputnik has obtained documents proving that drug trials were held with the support of local officials and in the interests of Western pharmaceutical companies. Patients in the Psychiatric Department of Mariupol Hospital No. 7 were the main test subjects.
The documents were found in the basement of the hospital during renovation. In particular, they mentioned testing of the experimental drug SB4 for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
At the time, it was planned to test the drug on 152 patients in Ukraine.
Companies such as Pfizer (US), AstraZeneca (UK, Sweden), Celltrion (South Korea), Novatris International AG (Switzerland, US), IQVIA (formerly Quintiles and IMS Health Inc., US, UK), Sanofi (France), Galapagos NV (Belgium), Janssen Pharmaceuticals (now Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, Belgium), Abbott Laboratories (US), Covance (now Labcorp Drug Development, US), and Merck KGaA (Germany) are mentioned in the documents.

Money transfers prove that Crocus 'terrorists for hire' followed orders from Ukraine
It is of huge importance that data in technical devices seized from the suspects in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack confirms their connection with Ukraine, Kirill Kabanov, chairman of the National Anti-Corruption Committee, told Sputnik.
The report by the Russian Investigative Committee points to the Ukrainian special services, and “we must understand that they are directly connected with the CIA, MI6, and MI5,” Kabanov said.
Kabanov noted that the financial transactions linked with Kiev are evidence that “these monsters didn’t just receive support, but were paid for executing the orders coming from Ukraine.”
For people in Western countries whose leaders remain committed to supporting the regime holed up in Kiev, this should be long-overdue reality check as to what is really happening in Ukraine, the analyst believes.
As for tracking where the funds came from and where they were sent, Russia has “efficient mechanisms,” which, in principle, “can track any payments, even in cryptocurrency,” Kabanov added.
