1/24 In this SALO we will discuss Russias false flag terror operations, the country has a history of using it as pretence for invasions. We will look at the history aswell as the current situation in relation to Ukraine.
2/24 In 1939 the village of Mainala near the Finnish border was shelled by the USSR. The Fins were blamed for the attack, it resulted in the pretext for the Winter War.
3/24 In 1968 when the Prague Spring revolution was going on, KGB chief Andropov send agitators that had to discredit the movement. Pretending to be from the West they were going to be an excuse for Russias militairy involvement in response to a "NATO coup".
4/24Yuri Andropov reigned the KGB for decades even becoming president. In the 70s he recruited new blood like Putin, Borotnikov, Naryshkin and Patrushyev. The backbone of Putins current powerstructure derives from his old FSB class.
5/24 Andropovs Doctrone was not forgotten by Putin and Patrushyev. Honouring him on several occasions with memorials they also remembered his lessons. Use agitators and fake attacks to blame your opponent. Keep control of society by controlling every opposing voice.
6/24 False flags by the FSB were also used in the 1990s during the Czechen wars. I will use the book 'Blowing up Russia' by A. Litvinenko to illustrate this.
7/24 In 1994 in Moscow near the Yauza river an explosion took place. A man failed to blow up a railway line, killing himself. The man was no Czechian, he worked at Lanaka an oil company run by FSB liason Maxim Lazovsky, who also employed many agents.
8/24 The FSB 'investigated' the incident. Patrushev was chief of the branch responsible, unsurprisingly no leads were found. The incident was the start of many other explosions in Moscow. The Chechens got the blame; putting more pressure on the government to intervene.
9/24 In 1999 Yeltsin handed Putin the keys to the Kremlin. Putin crowned Nikolai Patrushev as head of the FSB. As soon his reign started mysterious bombings happened in many part of the country. Terrorism. In Ryazan something even stranger happened.
10/24 Agile citizens in Ryazan had spotted suspicious behaviour. The police apprehended men that had put strange powderbags in basement of an Sovietflat. A call from the Moscow came to their aid: It were FSB agents just busy with an 'excercise'.
11/24 The FSB investigated itself again and concluded it just had been 'bags of sugar'. Patrushev acted a fool. Not everyone bought the story though. A Moscow Radiohost had some questions about the FSB terror....
12/24 In 2014 Russia send its secret operatives to Crimea. Officially it was the revolution of 'the polite people', where Russia denied any involvement it later switched its story.
13/24 Russia also send agents to Kharkiv to commit a coup. While it succeeded in the Donbass it failed in Kharkiv. A clear sign of a false flag was that the 'protestors' who had to pretend to be locals mistook the Opera building for the city hall.
14/24 On the maidan revolution Putin paid hommage to his old master. In 1968 Andropov had called the Prague Spring a NATO stir up, Putin labelled the 2014 maidan a CIA coup. In his Carlson interview Putin served the story once more. See here TASS with the same propaganda...
15/24 Putin had used the strategy of agitators in Georgia aswell. 2008 is the most famous. Agents stirred up unrest within Georgia. When the latter reacted with its militairy, Russia came to their aide starting another war.
16/24 For the 2022 invasion Putin had similar false flags planned. There'was one problem though, Western agencies were on his tail. Exposing his plans, making them redundant.
17/24 The USA started the dance: There were plans from Russia to saboteurs in Eastern Ukraine. They had to create the pretext for a war.
18/24 The U.K. followed suit with Russian plans to install a puppet dictator. Later at the 'peace negotiations' in March it was one of Russias demands. Even Viktor Yanukovitsj was presented as option by Russia.
19/24 Lastly Boris Johnson revealed the plot of doing an attack on a kindergarten in The Donbass in which Ukraine would blamed. It would be a severe strike on Ukraines reputation.
20/24 Russia was out of false flags, but because of the climate they had to attack. From 2014 until 2022 they had bombarded the Donbass several times, blaming the Ukrainians. Until this day many - even in the West - try to blame Ukraine for the Donbass.
21/24 While its cyberwarfare is quite effective the FSB field work was poor. It showed when there was a claim of a discovered UA headquarters where suspicious material was found....including PC game The SIMS. (it should have been simcards off course).
22/24 The FSB blunder became a laughing stock. It didn't get much better with the badly faked Olena Zelenska passport. Propaganda so bad it was a joke. Only redditsub antiwar took it serious, but maybe that's because it has a clear Russian influence.
23/24 Currently US services warn for a terrorist attack in Moscow. We got to ask ourselves who will be the culprit if that happens. Real genuine terrorists or will it be another FSB operation? I can't tell now....
