International Ukrainian Operations

(h/t Claudio) – Strategypage -“September 15, 2024: Since Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022, the HUR Ukrainian military intelligence service has grown in size and activities. Most activities are open, like attacks on the Russian military or intelligence overseas. These often involve the use of foreign airlines and railroads by unidentified Ukrainian HUR operatives passing themselves off as Ukrainian or Russian civilians. Because the Ukrainian and Russian languages closely resemble each other, it’s easy for a Ukrainian to speak unaccented Russian, but not so easy when a Russian tries it. Many intelligence operatives speak several languages, especially English.”

Has the HUR, GUR, or HUR MOU), also known in English as the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU), the military intelligence service of the Ukrainian government, morphed into an extension (cat’s paw) of the US Central Intelligence Agency? There is an excellent case to be made because we are funding them, and their military activity against Russia is guided in part by US information that their Service (sponsored by USGOV – and possibly a wholly owned subsidiary) acts at the behest and with guidance from the CIA. – Or am I a conspiracy nut?

 

The Daily Mail cites a Second Wave of Carnage in Hajjiland

(article here) I can’t hear what you’re saying, Aziz, speak louder into the walkie-talkie! Put the speaker next to your ear and the microphone next to your mouth! (translation into Pig Latin below)

لا أستطيع سماع ما تقوله يا عزيز، تحدث بصوت أعلى في جهاز اللاسلكي! ضع السماعة بجانب أذنك والميكروفون بجانب فمك!
La ‘astatie samae ma taquluh ya eaziza, tahduth bisawt ‘aelaa fi jihaz allaasilki! dae alsamaaeat bijanib ‘udhunik walmikrufun bijanib famak!

Walkie talkies used by Hezbollah fighters have detonated across Lebanon, wounding dozens of people including mourners at a funeral, witnesses and security sources have reported. (Funeral for another hajji who kept his pager close to his courting tackle)

It comes a day after thousands of exploding pagers used by the group left almost 3,000 people injured and a dozen dead, including civilians and children.

Hand-held radios were purchased by Hezbollah five months ago, at around the same time as the compromised pagers, a security source has now revealed.

(More Here) The glamorous CEO of a company (right) accused of manufacturing the exploding pagers that killed 12 people and injured thousands in one of the most audacious attacks ever launched by Israel on Hezbollah has been pictured.

Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono, who studied in London and lists ‘disaster management’ as one of her skills, is listed as the Chief Executive of the Hungarian-based company BAC Consulting, which is said to have supplied the devices to the Lebanese group.

She denied involvement with the pagers and told a US TV station:’ I don’t make the pagers. I am just the intermediate. I think you got it wrong.’

Way to go, Cristiana. You’ve helped elevate my mood and brought blogging excellence to a weary world. You’ll never have to buy a beer in Northern Arizona – EVER.

 

I love them!

According to various sources, Chile is native to the border area between Texas and Mexico. Archaeological evidence estimates that chile has been cultivated since 8000 BC. C. in the regions of Tehuacán, Puebla, and Ocampo, Tamaulipas. Eight thousand years ago, the population of Mexico managed to domesticate some species of chili (Capsicum). Later, Christopher Columbus took it to Europe, and from there, it spread to Asia. There are about 4,000 varieties of chili in the world. They are divided into five species of Capsicum and 28 other wild forms.

 

Bullet Points:

** It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.

** The Biden Regime’s Federal Reserve cut interest rates Wednesday by the single largest amount since 2008 in an attempt to boost the popularity of the Whore, who is trailing President Trump in the polls. Stock markets initially soared on the news – which was seen as a boost for the economy. By slashing interest rates, the Fed has made borrowing money less expensive, taking some pressure off consumers’ wallets. The cut of 0.5 percentage points is the biggest in 16 years. The Fed was forced to take drastic action in the same way during the Great Recession that began in 2008. VP Nominee and notable coward Tim Walz shouted, “GO WITH THE HO!” as part of the re-energized campaign.

** CNN – a disturbing trend in the war on Global Warming. Maybe paying your weather tax is paying dividends.

** Leaders can only lead when their teams trust them. There’s no way around it—trust is the foundation of any great organization.

** Pro Tip: Don’t trust skinny women!

** Josie! (sound on)

** A Freudian slip? 

** Gen 2 is here — there will be more.

** The joys of military surplus. I recall going to the DRMO when I was young and nervous in the service, and I could repurpose stuff that we wanted without cost to the unit. In this case, it is a government auction.

** If you’re fired for expressing a political opinion, you’re not the oppressor. You’re the oppressed. And if you’re going to quit, use a translator.

Hint: His third film with Lauren Bacall. A convict – innocent, of course – escapes from prison with the help of a sympathetic woman, hides out, has plastic surgery to alter his looks so the cops can’t find him, and comes out looking like Humphrey Bogart. Here, a detective thinks he’s acting suspiciously. (two photos)
