Yesterday’s remarkable statements to journalists by Alexander Bortnikov, director of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), by Gilbert Doctorow

Bortnikov said Ukraine, the U.S., and Great Britain were behind the terrorist attack. He’s not known for making rash statements. From Gilbert Doctorow at gilbertdoctorow.com:

To the uninitiated, I explain first that the FSB is the successor organization to the Soviet Union’s well-known and much feared KGB.  However, the FSB today might be better compared with the FBI in the United States. It deals with domestic criminality of all kinds and with threats to Russian civilians such as terrorism. The agency and its head are rarely in the news.

In this respect, the FSB is less visible both at home and abroad than the Foreign Intelligence Service  headed by Sergei Naryshkin, a state figure who spent five years of this millennium as chairman of the State Duma, Russia’s lower house of the legislature, and also three years as head of the Presidential Administration. In both positions Naryshkin was very often seen on television performing his duties.

By contrast, Bortnikov spent the past 15 years in his FSB offices out of sight.  However, the spectacular attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue has propelled him to center stage and yesterday he met with the Russian state television journalist Pavel Zarubin for an interview and then allowed himself to be questioned further by a gaggle of other journalists on his way out along a corridor. This spontaneous Q&A was later broadcast on the television news. What Bortnikov had to say was extraordinary and bears directly on whether you and I should now be looking for bomb shelters. Regrettably you will not find any of it in the lead stories of today’s mainstream media.  The Financial Times, for example, features an account of Xi’s meeting with CEOs of American businesses to mend ties: interesting, but not very relevant if we are at the cusp of WWIII.

    Also he rarely makes public statements and would never do so unless it was OK with VV Putin.

    Brandon could be the judgement in disguise and will go down in history with the worst of the Roman rulers.

    Enjoy bread and circuses while you still can.

    In Russia they serve revenge ice cold.

  3. Putins and Xi’s BRIC victory over America is coming quickly, they know this because clearly the O’Biden Admin are advance troops to soften US defenses so that we cannot provide any meaningful resistance. In the globalists view, the entire liberal democratic order of the West is obsolete, a giant glass house getting ready to be knocked over, it’s internal contradictions being turned like a cancer against itself. The Anglo-Saxon “Atlantic Alliance” has been superseded by a global mafia of royal family, banker, and security state elites. Social and political disruption psyops being pushed hard in the West (open borders, fake race and gender wars, stolen elections) will allow Russian, Iranian and Chinese troops to enter as “peacekeepers”, then they can just take possession of what they occupy. So what looks like careening global chaos is a rather coordinated long-term action by the high cabal, aided by the exhaustion and collapse of the dollar (reserve currency, petrodollar, eurodollar/offshore) system. Tragically, the transparent US Constitutional system, though an historic triumph of justice and prosperity, has no real defense against the slow and steady infiltration of venality and corruption, primarily through the unaccountable banks and security agencies. One more good man-made virus and lockdown psyop, mercilessly provoked nuclear war in Europe and Middle East, and the sprawling “international order” will start to collapse of its own suffocating weight, a collapse which the elites think they will ride out underground. On the surface, the Global South wins by default.
