Adolf Hitler died by suicide via a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on April 30, 1945, in his Führerbunker in Berlin, Germany. His wife of one day, Eva Braun, died with him by ingesting cyanide. Key Details • Date and Location: Hitler and Braun died on the afternoon of April 30, 1945, in Hitler's personal study within the Führerbunker, as Soviet Red Army forces closed in on the city. • Cause of Death: It is widely accepted by historians that Hitler shot himself in the right temple with his own pistol, while Eva Braun died from cyanide poisoning. • Disposal of Remains: In accordance with Hitler's instructions to avoid his body being publicly displayed or desecrated (like that of his ally Benito Mussolini two days earlier), their bodies were carried into the Reich Chancellery garden, doused in gasoline, and set on fire. • Forensic Evidence: The bodies were severely burned, but Soviet forces later recovered dental remains (part of a jawbone and several teeth) which were identified by Hitler's dental assistant and technician in May 1945. In 2018, French forensic pathologists confirmed the authenticity of these dental remains, definitively proving Hitler's death in the bunker and debunking various conspiracy theories about his survival.

It’s because they’re also pulling media strings to control the narrative. Globally.
"We have quite a fragmented response model," said Sullivan. "Some of these incidents should be responded to by law enforcement, some by the intelligence agencies. We do need everyone to come together, because a single, unified response makes us much stronger." "Look at the reaction in Germany," adds Pomerantsev. "There's been cyber attacks, an attempted assassination, and on and on and on. Both the head of German intelligence and the security minister have come out saying, we're going to do something about it. We're going to have to learn deterrence? And immediately huge amounts of the political and media elites were like, 'That's so escalatory. Why are we overreacting?' So it splits a society." In the face of this realm of chaos and confusion, with some terrified of prodding the Russian bear, what best path forward? Again, there are differing approaches.

"You almost become paranoid thinking about what Russia can do… then… you realise you weren't paranoid enough."
There has been a response. Nato launched Operation Baltic Sentry at the start of this year to up surveillance of rogue ships in the Baltic Sea, damaging undersea cables. That appears to have been a success so far. And the alliance has said that by the end of 2027 it will have a new anti-drone system. The West's physical response may have begun, but it's clear there is a psychological battle here: to educate and inform populations about what is going on in the shadows and be aware of how Moscow wants societies to respond. That is the challenge ahead of what might be coming down the road. "What Russia could do next is a frightening question to ponder," said Braw. "You almost become paranoid thinking about what Russia can do. And then when Russia introduces its next form of grey-zone aggression, you realise you weren't paranoid enough."

'You realise you weren't paranoid enough' Lord Robertson believes the West now needs to be more open about the threat and harken back to the 1945-1991 world. "I don't think that the country is really aware of the dangers. I really worry that when the lights go out and the data centres melt and the traffic lights stop working and the ATMs are producing no cash, people will turn on the government. "We need to resurrect some of the instruments of information warfare that we used during the Cold War. We've dismantled a lot of the instruments that we used to get news and views into the Soviet Union. I think we need to reestablish a lot of that in order to get to the Russian population. But President Trump has destroyed Radio Liberty and Radio Free Europe." "I don't think that the country is really aware of the dangers." - Lord Robertson

Hello, Andrei Averyanov.

#Putin #Trump #Krasnov #Epstein
The West is also muddled in its response. Perhaps that is not surprising. Russia's hybrid plan stems from the GRU, their military intelligence agency. The investigative journalist, Christo Grozev, who has researched Moscow's spy network, said that the key figure is Andrei Averyanov, the deputy head of the GRU, who runs a fairly new unit called the Department of Special Tasks. Grozev believes that about 80 percent of Russia's hybrid war activities emanate from Averyanov and his team.

This basically sums up and confirms what I’ve been saying all year.

open.substack.com/pub/channel4...

“It's a conflict far more subtle and sinister, so much so that you don't even know it's crept up on you.”

It’s why myself and others have been screaming about it louder than ever.

#Putin #Trump
"I basically trusted Vladimir Putin," said Lord Robertson, who headed the alliance between 1999 and 2003. "Looking back, I often wonder whether we should have done more at the time." Now? "Russia is clearly at war with us. I've no doubt at all that even though we're not at war with them, they've clearly declared war on us." Lord Robertson was one of the authors of the UK's recent Strategic Defence Review and he believes the public just isn't aware of our present, ongoing conflict. Because this isn't conventional warfare. It's not tanks rolling across borders, soldiers marching through cities, with the sound of gunfire in the air. It's a conflict far more subtle and sinister, so much so that you don't even know it's crept up on you. This is hybrid warfare, which I've been looking into for our latest episode of FourSight. A mix of sabotage, subversion and psychological meddling that acts in a grey zone somewhere between skirmishes and all out war. It's happening all around Europe right now. In 2024, there was the foiled assassination of the chief executive of Germany's largest weapons manufacturer; explosives hidden in packages in Lithuania and sent via DHL and DPD to Germany, Poland and the UK; and a huge fire destroyed most of a shopping mall in Warsaw. These are the activities you may not have heard about, alongside the ones that you have: drones flying into Polish airspace and over military bases in Denmark; jets crossing into Estonia; and the destruction of underwater cables in the Baltic Sea. The hand of the Kremlin is at play in all cases, say Western governments and their intelligence services. Some analysts think there could be hundreds of acts of sabotage on behalf of Russia in the last three years. But Moscow continues to deny any such sabotage. And in the case of the damage to the Nord Stream gas pipelines in 2022, while Russia was initially blamed, it is Ukrainian citizens who now stand accused - with the government in Kyiv claiming they had no involvement. "Most people don't realise the extent to which Russia is trying to harm our societies," said Elisabeth Braw, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council. "That has to do with the fact that our governments, understandably, try not to alarm people. But as a result people don't really realise what is happening." Take an arson attack in Leyton, east London, in 2024. The men found guilty were all small-time criminals in the UK. The ringleader, Dylan Earl, was a man from Leicestershire who'd been recruited online by the Wagner mercenary group. He was sentenced to 17 years in prison. A week later, a French court jailed four Bulgarians for their role in damaging a Jewish memorial in Paris. The judges said foreign interference was "indisputable", , with Russia the most likely culprit.

#Zohran #Mamdani #NYC

"I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity."

Eugene V. Debs, 1855-1926
Thank you, my friends. The sun may have set over our city this evening, but as Eugene Debs once said, "I can see the dawn of a better day for humanity." For as long as we can remember, the working people of New York have been told by the wealthy and the well-connected that power does not belong in their hands. Fingers bruised from lifting boxes on the warehouse floor, palms calloused from delivery bike handlebars, knuckles scarred with kitchen burns: These are not hands that have been allowed to hold power. And yet, over the last 12 months, you have dared to reach for something greater. Tonight, against all odds, we have grasped it. The future is in our hands. My friends, we have toppled a political dynasty.

I’m genuinely touched that #ZohranMamdani mentioned Eugene Debs in his speech

My ancestor ran a printing press out of Indianapolis for Debs back in the day
