“Freedom of Speech is our Birthright, no matter who sits in the White House”! Tucker Carlson in Moscow | UPDATE
Hell yeah! TIME TO EXPOSE this crazy neo-nazi, neo-lib, deep dark state reality that has been imposed on us, that has been spying, shadowbanning, deleting, cancelling, search-deranking, demonetizing and generally stifling. I should know – you’ve seen what they’ve done to me – and many others! And they dare talk about Russia not being democratic? How about looking in the mirror for once!
They are doing much worse too. You should know: we talk about it all the time on LADA RAY PATREON, where regular predictions are made, geopolitics and trends discussed.
In this message I simply want to show you the Tucker Carlson video from Moscow, which is a preview of the upcoming full interview with Putin.
Watch the video; Tucker explains very well what’s wrong with the US and its media, and why he’s interviewing Putin! A rare voice of truth and reason in this madness! Btw, hear him talk about the aggressive pro-Ukraine state propaganda, and the US MSM drooling/obsessing over Zelensky! What I’ve talked about for the longest time.
Elon Musk promised that he would post his entire interview uncensored and free on Twitter X. And as far as I know, Carlson also posts his videos on Rumble.
This could be rather revolutionary, friends, what with Tucker Carlson’s outreach and with the support of Elon Musk!
I’ll try to weigh in on it when the interview does come out.
**
Also, very glad that it’ll be another nail in the Biden/neo-liberals coffin. The harm and damage this clique that currently rules the US, and the corresponding war-mongering clique all over the West have caused… is incalculable!
Btw, did you notice the new war mongering: the EU keeps pushing for a HOT WAR against Russia! I’ll Quantum Calibrate its probability later for you – only on LADA RAY PATREON!
I did full-scale predictions on that in 2023. I’ll have another piece, with Quantum Calibrations, this year. This must be monitored: I said they’d lose it a few years from now, but they seem to be losing the remnants of their puny minds way too quickly! Madness has overtaken the Western elites as they lose their grip on global dominance! Per my long-term predictions!
Also good news that Biden and his son Hunter are being investigated for their unholy money connection to Ukraine and Burisma.
The story is old and I wrote a whole investigative ESR on it for past elections, however, it’s just as relevant today. It was dedusted for the new elections by the republicans. Time for him and his son to get what they deserve. The corruption runs too deep, they were allowed to run amok for too long.
**Many mis-diagnose them as reptilians – I explain what to look for!
_______________
MY UPDATE
Period 9 has officially begun and with it, the new reality and new leaders, instead of those rotten and corrupt ones we currently have at the helm in this country and all over the West!
First of all
❤️Many SUPER-thanks to my wonderful subscribers – love you guys!❤️
❤️👍And I thank Patreon @ LADA RAY PATREON, one of the few platforms out there who did not succumb to the ugly neo-lib/White House/dark state blackmail and preserved its integrity!
So many others didn’t, and some went out of their way to appear ‘more catholic than the pope’ – illegally deleting accounts and stifling the freedom of speech more so than the government!
On this list are:
👎👎👎Amazon publishing, YouTube, Facebook, Google and other US, UK and EU-based search engines, the old Twitter, scores of smaller outfits who prostitute themselves, such as Gumroad, and regretfully, in part even Telegram!
I am glad to see Facebook and its rotten leader Mark Zuckerberg under investigation, and hopefully, getting what they deserve. And hope more is to come! The rot is very deep, this is just scratching the surface.
⌛Very disappointed in Telegram – TBD what to do with it – stay tuned for my decision at some point this year.
⌛But looks like Musk’s X (ex-Twitter) will be the place to be, and I might go back to it.
All notable, important and most interesting reports, videos and articles, AND all links in one place, in case you want to review any of the past pieces!
This is a convenient, at-a-glance, summary of my work for the past month, should you still be on the sidelines, or if you are ready to join us! This way you can see what has been brewing on LRpatreon and why it’s so truly unique and valuable! It’s good for you – and for me – to take inventory of what already has been discussed. Sometimes I need a reminder too, of all the one-of-a-kind and breakthrough pieces I’ve published!
The month of November has been even more EPIC than October! Many of my predictions have materialized or are coming true, as we speak!
For the REAL HIGHER-DIMENSIONAL TRUTH, check out my major November predictions for the US Elections, the US Supreme Court and Armenia-Azerbaijan war in Caucasus, as well as the pieces that document a millennial re-shaping of our world! In November I’ve also done some important Quantum Calibrations, confirming the truths and outcomes predicted!
FREE PUBLIC POST! The monthly lists are posted publicly on
But to gain access to some of the material you must be a member of LRpatreon! Exception: FREE public reports, posts and videos, which can be viewed by anyone.
The lists incorporate all tiers and levels of contribution. If you are new, to gain access, please join the corresponding tier! Each level participants will get all posts in their tier and all posts in all the tiers below theirs!
This holiday in Russia is often also called the Day of Spring, Love and Beauty. On this day women expect to be pampered. According to the survey, this year up to 10% of the spoiled Russian women expect to get a car for March 8. 😉
I find that many people in the West simply don’t get the meaning of this holiday.
HERE’s the real truth! The holiday did start in the beginning of the 20th century as a women’s rights and anti-war political movement. However, in the USSR it eventually evolved as a day of spring, flowers, relaxation and the honoring of the sacred feminine by men (at the bottom click on links to my previous posts to find out more and to see more cool images). And that’s how it’s now largely celebrated in Russia, all of post-Soviet Space and the world.
Vintage Soviet March 8 Posters:
‘March 8, International Women’s Day’
The important thing Westerners often don’t get is that Russian women get to be honored, treated with the respect, love and tenderness all women and mothers deserve, while at the same time they get to pursue careers and success in life equal to men. There is no BS ‘equality’ fights in Russia. Equality stays where it belongs: in the career and business world. But at the same time a man would still open a door or pull a chair for a woman. If you can imagine (I know it’s very hard if you live in the USA), a woman in that case would graciously say thank you, and she would NOT punch a man in the face or file a sexual harassment lawsuit! A woman would NOT perceive the man’s gallant gesture as a sign of her being considered weak, but she would accept this as a sign of her being honored and respected.
Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a positive world like this everywhere!
March 8 in Russia usually inspires poetry. Lots of businesses and organizations put out special ‘Happy March 8’ posters, often with poetic good wishes for their female employees and/or friends and family. And it all rhymes!
This one reads:
‘Our Lovely Women, let your spring be forever, let the brooks run, let all the world’s flowers blossom just for you. Let the last snow wind take away any troubles, let the snow melting bring only happiness. May your sacred dreams and wishes come true! HAPPY MARCH 8!’
This poster’s poem similarly wishes the end of any sorrows, and lots of love, joy, smiles and flowers. I am smiling just writing this 🙂
There are free concerts on streets and special concerts on TV, as well as major holiday programs in music halls on this day. Generally, Russians loooove their songs, concerts, and various fairs and events. When I was searching for images for this post I came across a large number of announcements for March 8 concerts in the ex-republics, such as Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Latvia. It remains the holiday of choice in all those, despite attempts by the Latvian and Ukrainian authorities to ban it.
Russian children get it since they are little. Cutest Russian March 8 cartoon posters:
‘March 8 – Congrats!’ – probably the most beloved Russian cartoon character, the sweet mystical animal Cheburashka, brings flowers and cake to the little squirrel girl.
Little bear boy brings a barrel of honey to his girlfriend.
And the cute March cats, of course 😉
March 8 is one of the coolest and most positive holidays, with lots of flowers and smiles. Tulips, mimosa, lily-of-the-valley, violets and lilac are the trademark flowers of this holiday. Men normally take over all the chores for the house, including cooking and cleaning, while women enjoy themselves. On this day husbands, boyfriends, fathers, sons, brothers and students honor their wives, girlfriends, sisters, daughters, mothers, grandmothers and female teachers. This is how I remember it growing up.
The cake reads ‘Happy March 8’; the boy’s tee says, ‘Love my mom’; the man’s, ‘My wife’s the best.’
March 8 is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a national holiday in Russia and some other post-Soviet/Russian World countries. It’s also widely celebrated in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
If you celebrate, here’s another well-wishing March 8 poem! ‘May your life always blossom, may your children be happy and your home prosperous! Wishing you goodness, fortune & happiness!
If you live in a country where March 8 is not celebrated (that would be the Anglo-American world and a few others)…
Dear women, go pamper yourselves this weekend, celebrate YOU and the spring! Or get the men in your life to splurge on you!
Dear men, it’s a great idea to take the loved female(s) in your life out to a nice dinner this weekend, and/or buy her some nice flowers! If she asks what’s the occasion, you can say: ‘Spring is in the air!’ Or you can just tell the truth: ‘Lada says so,’ and show her this article! 😉
HAPPY MARCH 8!

OFFICIAL NEW BOOK COVER REVEAL
Monday, February 18!
Chapter excerpts coming!
**************
You are reading excerpt from INTRO TO:
GEOPOLITICAL & GEO-ECONOMIC QUANTUM CALIBRATIONS
a new book by Lada Ray
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Total number of countries and global organizations in the book:
Countries: 91
Global Organizations: 10
Also included as a separate section: Superpower & Great Power Ranking Index (15 countries), with extensive, never shared before PowerScale, new Criteria and Definitions.
Plus, in-depth bonus articles:
Every Country Deserves Its Government: The Importance of Calibrating a Country Leader
Business/ Corporate Worlds’ Comparative Calibrations: 7 leading countries
World’s 8 Most Powerful People
Q&A: Why Western armies calibrate so much lower than Russian Army?
THE BOOK STRUCTURE & WHAT REVELATIONS YOU’LL FIND IN IT
Rather than by continent, the countries are clustered according to their affinity groups and relevant regions. This makes it more logical and easy to compare peer countries’ performances.
The book is divided into sections by the following regions and affinity groups, in alphabetic order:
Africa; Anglo-American World; Asia (Southeast); Eurasia: Russia, Russian World and Post-Soviet Space; Europe and EU; Latin America and the Caribbean; The Middle East and Muslim World.
The countries within each region and affinity group are presented not alphabetically, but rather logically.
The expanded list of calibrations presented in the book for a number of countries includes:
Whole Country Quantum Calibration (QC) and CHI
Plus the QC and CHI for:
the current country leader, army/defense, economy, financial solvency and sovereignty (level of).
In some cases added are additional bonus calibrations for specific sectors of economy, specific historic figures and past leaders, additional important people and/or specific cities/regions of said country. In a number of cases presented is also additional expanded intel, analysis and predictions. In other cases you may see a more in-depth Earth Shift and Multidimensional view of a specific country or continent. All this will enrich your reading experience and deepen the understanding of the whole.
Depending on the country, you will see one of the three categories of posts: Expanded, Full or Short.
Many countries get their own, substantial EXPANDED interpretation articles, as seen on Lada Ray Patreon. Some other countries will get FULL calibrations with a brief interpretation. Included is also another category, called SHORTS, in which we calibrate the (QC and CHI only of certain smaller countries as a whole, with brief or no interpretation. The set of Shorts expands the book’s geography. It gives the reader an additional idea how a peer group of countries stacks up against each other, and how a specific region of the world fares. In addition, for several regions we have REGIONAL calibrations with interpretations. The biggest such region is Africa (Sub-Saharan), which is a major case study, including past, present and future calibrations. Three separate Post-Soviet/Russian World affinity regions also have their own Short calibrations, with interpretations, thus providing a fuller picture (Central Asia, Caucasus, Baltics).
The ten largest and most important geopolitical International Organizations are included in the end, as a separate section. The calibrations for Organizations are comparative and predictive (futurist).
The book also includes a number of valuable bonuses (see full list above), and the closing section with COMPLETE QUANTUM & GEO CALIBRATIONS DEFINITIONS and INTERPRETATIONS. This full table is shared publicly for the first time. It was previously available only as part of ESR17, or to Lada Ray private clients who ordered Personal Multidimensional and Quality of Life Geo Calibration Written Consultations.
Among many other things, Quantum Calibrations are exceptionally useful in helping us determine where each city, country or region of the world shines, where it has a good future and advantage, vs. where it has problems. It is especially important to compare countries peer to peer. The structure of this book will allow you to see how peers stack against each other. Peer-to-peer comparison and analysis will demonstrate immediately where the weak links are, and what a country needs to focus on, in order to be competitive in the future. Often calibrations will confirm what politicians and people have already known to be a problem. But sometimes, a hidden, surprising problem will be revealed.
Examples of peer-to-peer comparisons are: superpower to superpower, such as USA, Russia, China and EU; Northern or Western Europe countries; Club Med countries; Slavic countries, African countries, Latin American countries; Post-Soviet Space countries, small prosperous countries with stable political/economic systems, the BRICS countries, etc. All this you’ll find in the book.
Comparing non-peer countries also gives us an enormous amount of information. By revealing differences in calibrations, we can clearly understand the nature of differences in statute of various countries and regions of the world. We can project into the future and determine what needs to be improved.

YOU’VE READ EXCERPT FROM INTRO TO NEW LADA RAY’S BOOK:
One of our dear Patreon members Seeker has recently traveled to Moscow. Seeker comes from one of the most well-to-do and prosperous countries in the EU. This was a business trip, during which he represented his country at the international agricultural expo, and his view of the modern Moscow is from a rare perspective, that of a business traveler.
I’ve written a number of articles in the past, with pics showcasing various facets of the cool, traditional and historic Moscow (you’ll find them on LadaRay Blog, and some on FT). What makes Seeker’s contribution truly rare and invaluable is that you won’t glean the perspective he offers from me (since I am not a corporate business traveler), nor from any others, who do travelogs and travel videos.
We may soon also have a rare photo expose about Africa, from our patron and community member who lives in Nigeria and knows the place intimately! Very exciting!
I am so happy I can provide this opportunity for the dear to my heart members of our community to share their countries, travels and world adventures! I plan to do more in the future! If you are my Patreon Patron and would like to feature your exciting traveling or your country’s photo or video story on my Patreon site and possibly also on FuturisTrendcast, please email me! We’ll likely do this once a month, or during holidays!

Today’s GEOPOLITICAL QUANTUM CALIBRATIONS ARTICLE ON PATREON:
The world events we are experiencing are very rattling and often negative. Sometimes we all need a rest from the troubles of the world we are all carrying on our shoulders. I feel driven to infuse a more positive feel into our common space on Patreon. I want this to be a place where we can share a smile, and I want you to come here not only for earth-shifting revelations and heavy-duty geopolitical analysis, but also as a place where you can mingle and get to know your fellow members. A place, where we reach out not only to the higher dimensions, but also to each other… As you know, we do Spiritual Spa, which I’ll probably make into a Special Feature, but I also love to travel and explore. Don’t you?
This is one of the reasons I am inspired to post my Patreon patrons’ travel impressions on special occasions and/or during holidays. Stanislav sent me these awesome pics from Minsk, Belarus. We also have the impressions from Seeker’s visit to Agroprom Expo in Moscow. I just love their different perspectives! And we might do more of these during Holidays!
My impressions from vising Minsk a few years back: The capital of Belarus is a lovely city, both traditional and modern. It’s very quiet, clean and orderly, compared to many other places I’ve been, if overcast most of the time. 😉 Yet things do happen there. Belarus is very cheap and is probably a good place for a quiet, relaxing getaway. They do have some rather advanced spas, where they cater mostly to Russians, or those who can afford them. They are quite cheap for foreigners (at least that was the case a few years back), but maybe not so much for Belorussians.

New Tulipmania in the making OR 4D innovation? How some exploit their workplace to mine Bitcoins
Bitcoin fever has been spreading all over the world as prices skyrocket. As the purchase price and transactions of Bitcoins goes up, more people are needed to process these financial transactions via the block-chain. You may have heard to these terms as Bitcoin speculation becomes mainstream and covered in our local media. When you hear about bitcoin “mining,” you envisage coins being dug out of the ground. But bitcoin isn’t physical, so why do we call it mining?
We have discussed the possibility of a bubble, how compromised and how lucrative Bitcoin, Ether and other crypto-currencies are in the No. 1 bestselling:
Lada Ray practical advice, multi-dimensional revelations & bold predictions Prepare to learn the truths no one else will tell you – from quantum futurist and global predictor Lada Ray!

Russian volunteers, with the help of local police, stopped illegal truck carrying 1300 dogs and cats transported in horrific conditions, stuffed 5-10 to a tiny cage, many wounded, bleeding and dying from heat, thirst and hunger. These poor animals were to be killed and eaten at the Yulin dog meat festival. The Russian volunteers had to sneak the saved animals in secret into shelters and animal sanctuaries. These organizations must keep their addresses secret due to attacks by the dog and cat meet traders — a horrific custom still existing in the rural areas of China.
I want to stress that it was an international effort; the Chinese volunteers and Chinese animal shelters were involved.
The good news, many innocent animals have been saved.
April 12 is celebrated as the Cosmonautics Day. Yury Gagarin’s first flight into Space took place on April 12, 1961, 56 years ago.
Lovely song, ‘The Earth is empty without you’ – ‘Опустела без тебя Земля’ (alternative name for this song is «Нежность» – ‘Tenderness’ – meaning the tenderness of the stars).
After his maiden flight Gagarin became the most famous and recognizable man on Earth. Yet, he remained incredibly humble. A small excerpt from Gagarin’s interview – eng subs:
Every year between March 6 and 9, Russia turns into a huge and fragrant flower market. It smells like spring everywhere, even if the stubborn snow has neglected to melt just yet.
In that case it wasn’t an actual cop, but Russian singer Yaroslav Sumishevsky, with his song. But real policemen aren’t far behind. This is happening today in Kaliningrad, Russia. Actual traffic policemen stop women drivers and present them with flowers and March 8 gifts:
The International Women’s Day on March 8 is approaching. To me it has always been a light, smiley and happy holiday. Those who know me have probably read my posts about March 8, its history and lore, and how it’s celebrated in Russia and the USSR. Those who are visual, I’m sure you’ll enjoy all those awesome spring pics. I’ll have the article links below.
This year, I’ve decided to post this charming episode.
In the run-up to the March 8 holiday, in a Moscow suburb, a traffic cop has been seen stopping women drivers. When asked what the purpose of the detention was, he would say, ‘I’m Traffic Inspector Yaroslav Sumishevsky. Just checking drivers licenses as part of the operation My Beloved Woman. Have you heard about it?’ After the drivers replied in the negative, he would begin singing a song, My Beloved Woman, and present each female driver with a rose. On the video below watch women’s faces alight with smiles, and also watch the kids’ reaction.

Here’s why: ESR 10 and 11, as numerological master numbers, have been reserved for the two Earth Shift Feature reports regarding Putin and Russia. These will come out on their own time, later in the year. I wanted to release this urgent report without delay due to the upcoming 6/23 BREXIT referendum and questions I’ve been asked regarding BREXIT, TTIP and my EU predictions.
Due to the fast-moving world events, more urgent ESRs may be coming your way this summer. Please stay tuned!

In case you were planning a trip to Moscow, I thought you all might enjoy this fun piece about the Kremlin. We have talked lately about UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as Palmyra (Syria) and Odessa. The Moscow Kremlin is another one.
Kremlin, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is presently closed for tourists due to Victory Day – May 9, 2016 parade preparations. Since last year, a part of the Kremlin has been under massive renovations after the decision to demolish the so-called Building No. 14, which used to house presidential administration and which, according to specialists, didn’t represent any historic of architectural value. It was built in 1930’s, replacing the Small Nikolayevsky Palace, damaged during the revolution and demolished in 1929. The palace once served as Moscow residence for Emperor Nikolay II and his family.
The demolition of Building No. 14 opened up a boon for excited archeologists. The well-preserved foundation of the Nikolayevsky Palace was found underneath the structure. Historians and researchers were allowed access to its mysteries for the first time ever. Underneath that, archeologists discovered foundations of another dozen or so ancient buildings, as well as artefacts and relics dating back to 12th century Moscow.
Gold-domed medieval Kremlin cathedral
The new gardens now bloom in place of the huge building; previously blocked, a gorgeous view on the unique Kremlin cathedrals has opened up. Moreover, the new Kremlin tourist route has been opened, previously inaccessible due to presidential security. Tourists can now exit the Kremlin through its most famous and grandest Spasskaya Tower.
Spasskaya Tower
The Kremlin reopens after Victory Day celebrations, on May 10.
Watch the video below, with the new look of the grandest Moscow landmark. At the end of video, you’ll see the new tourist route, which, as usual, starts by Alexander Gardens, through Kutafia Tower. But you can now exit through Spasskaya Tower, allowing direct entrance onto Red Square, right by St. Basil’s Cathedral. Spasskaya Tower exit was previously open only for state visits and officials. I’ll tell you, considering the enormous distances you need to cover around the Kremlin, your feet will thank you dearly for this shortcut; and your eyes, for the luxurious view of Red Square!
St. Basil’s, Red Square
Towards the end of video, notice the glass enclosures. These are entrances to Kremlin’s underground archeological digs. What new mysteries does this place hold? Many more, for sure…
Also, thought I’d include a video showcasing the legendary elite Kremlin Presidential Regiment. The Presidential Regiment is celebrating its 80th birthday. It’s role is to guard President and Kremlin, as well as to perform Kremlin ceremonial duties. Chosen for their looks, its members are much more than just pretty faces. During the 1941 battle for Moscow, the entire Kremlin Regiment went into battle straight after the parade.
The Kremlin Presidential Regiment today. Some are chosen for looks, others, for their way with horses. Also check out the only woman serving in the Presidential Regiment.
New Year is the year’s biggest holiday in Russia. There are lots of very good movies, cartoons, concerts and various songs/performances that are dedicated to it.
One of the eternal classics is the old Russian fairytale made into a film in 1964, MOROZKO, for some reason translated to English as Jack Frost, but better translated as Father Frost.
Watch MOROZKO here with English subs! (TIP: if your Eng subs don’t work, click on CC button on the bottom right of your Youtube screen.)

A couple of uplifting New Year’s songs from the fantasy filmCHARODEI (Wizards) produced at the Odessa Movie Studio in 1984. These songs are also classics with huge following throughout the world.
‘Three White Horses (the three white horses in this case mean December, January and February – reflecting the symbolism of the legendary Russian Troika):
.
‘Snezhinka’ (snow flake), or ‘When the clock strikes Midnight’

To watch other lovely New Year’s fairytales with Eng subs:
Watch live as of this posting: massive historic reenactment and concert on Red Square, marking Moscow’s official 868th birthday. This early concert kickstarts the celebrations. Moscow today hosts over 50 free concerts happening simultaneously all over the city.
Also don’t miss! International festival of military music Spasskaya Bashnya (Spasskaya Tower) began the same day. A very cool video of the opening of the festival, with spectacular music, dance and acrobatic performances from many countries.
Question: Is an Oblast comparable to any American governmental subdivision such as a State or County?
Lada’s reply
If located in the densely populated European part, oblast in size could be between a US state and county. It’s typically bigger than any US county, but usually (not always) smaller than a state. If it’s located in Siberia, it tends to be bigger than many of the world’s countries.
Sometimes oblast is incorrectly translated as a ‘region.’
Russia’s administrative structure is federative, which means that there is a federative agreement between various parts of the country. This is due to the multinational, multi-confessional and multi-cultural composition of Russia. In fact, Russia is the most multi-national country in the world, with about 100 nationalities living on its territory. It is also one of the few truly multi-confessional countries, although the main religion is considered Russian Orthodoxy.
Many, but not all, federation subjects are oblasts. Oblasts are generally the predominantly and traditionally Russian-populated territories within Russia, directly subordinate to the capital, Moscow. Such as Moskovskaya Oblast (area around Moscow – excluding Moscow proper, which is a separate subject of the Federation), Voronezhskaya Oblast in central Russia (city of Voronezh and surrounding areas) and Novosibirskaya Oblast in Western Siberia.
Another administrative subdivision in addition to oblast is kray. A great example is Krasnodarsky Kray, which includes some of the most fertile agricultural lands in Russia, as well as the famous Black Sea resorts, such as Sochi. Kray (krai) means a parcel of land, or alternatively, ‘the end, edge or outskirts.’ Incidentally, the word Ukraine ‘ u-krai-na’ is a derivative of the word kray.

Normally, krays are those lands where the cossacks had traditionally settled. They were given land and special rights by the Russian Empire, and later, by the Russian Federation. Their administration was a little different. Kray is often bigger than oblast, although some are comparable in size and population. Other examples are Krasnoyarsky Kray in Eastern Siberia (capital Krasnoyarsk) and Dalnevostochniy Kray (the Far Eastern Kray).
The United States of America undoubtedly has the largest, best equipped and best financed army in the world. USA spends more on military than the rest of the world combined. USA seems to dominate in every type of conventional warfare, be it on land, air, or sea.
Per the accepted global geopolitical theory, world powers are divided into sea, hybrid and land ones. USA today, like the British Empire before it, is the dominant sea power. As is fitting for such super-power, USA’s Navy is the most powerful, and by far the largest, in the world. Until recently, the US Navy, it seemed, owned our planet’s oceans and seas.
Since mid-2000s a rumor circulated that the reason US never attacked Iran from the sea was because they knew Russia could disable the entire US Navy fleet. What mysterious weapon could have been used for such purpose?
While usually Russian defence programs are very secretive, recently, Russia started coming out publicly with more and more breakthrough designs, such as the world’s most advanced Armata tank first presented during the May 9, 2015 Victory Day parade on Red Square.
For a few years now, some Russian politicians have been urging the government to reveal new designs so that the West wouldn’t get any ideas about attacking Russia, like it happened in 1941. The need to make them understand that Russian Army is fully ready to defend the country became especially pressing after the USA and EU’s direct interference in Ukraine, including supplies of weapons, mercenaries and military advisors. As the smell of potential new world war intensified, Russia made a decision to begin showcasing the technology that was kept under wraps all these years.
As my readers and listeners know, I have predicted in the beginning of 2014 that Russia would NOT send any troops to Ukraine, instead ‘gradually remolding the situation in her favor using all quiet and peaceful means at her disposal.’ I said that there would be NO direct confrontation between USA and Russia and that there would be NO hot World War III. I also said back then that the hidden global war would continue raging, be it diplomatically, economically, financially, electronically, or as spy and propaganda war.
This is exactly how the situation has been developing for the past one and a half years. It will continue developing the same way, until the massive EARTH SHIFT we are going through is complete (read more in PREDICTIONS).
Some call it a hybrid war. I call it 4D warfare.
It is beyond the fully incarnated, physical 3D reality. It’s often fought by computer geeks, masterminds, and invisible operators. It can only be gleaned if you know behind which curtain the wizard is hiding.
One of the main reasons the world will NOT go through the physical carnage of another devastating world war is Russian preparedness. This is the best deterrent against any possible aggressor. It falls to Russia, as the Great Balancer of our planet, to become the Sacred Shield and Sword against any global aggression.
As such, Russia always has to be ready. This is why the image of a soldier, protector and Defender of the Motherland, is so important to Russians.
We all recall the strange case of the USS Donald Cook, dubbed ‘Donald Duck,’ which had to urgently retire from the vicinity of the Crimea and the Black Sea after it was buzzed by the mysterious Russian device called KHIBINY, rendering the world’s most sophisticated electronic AEGIS system onboard helpless. What is referred to as KHIBINY is an older Soviet device. If you know about KHIBINY, believe me, you know nothing yet!
In this program we will see for ourselves how target cloning works; how Russian subs confuse and disable attack and spy planes; how a single, ordinary-looking all-terrain vehicle can create an invisible shield to protect the entire city against blanket rocket fire; how to make ballistic missiles explode before they reach target, or better yet, how to prevent them from taking off in the first place, thus rendering any missile system obsolete; how a bullet-proof vest could make the bullet change its trajectory and how a target can vanish from radars.
The program includes Russian Army’s inside footage and, until recently top-secret, demos and live tests; interviews with designers; until recently classified, real names of producers and real names of new Russian weapons, designs of the future, and much, much more!
What appeals to me most is that all designs and weapons you will see are of defensive, or non-offensive, nature. These are not aggressive attack weapons most military documentaries might showcase.
Another thing worth mentioning is the fact that they all seem straight out of Star Trek or a movie about aliens.
Finally, I want to draw your attention to two episodes. One mentions “an undisclosed conflict several years ago.” Per the narrator, throughout that conflict, the Russian army didn’t lose a single plane or helicopter, despite incessant blanket fire from the adversary’s BUK systems. What conflict are they talking about? And how did they avoid any losses?
KHIBINY and the Donald Cook episode are also mentioned, while some interesting details are revealed.
