IED Explodes At Moscow Bus Stop, Injuries Reported

Tyler Durden's picture




 

When ISIS Sinai down a Russian passenger jet over in Egypt early last month it became abundantly clear that Russian civilians are now squarely in Islamic State's crosshairs following Moscow's intervention in Syria and aggressive aerial campaign to wipe out anti-Assad elements operating in the country. 

Subsequent ISIS videos contained a series of threats promising attacks on Russian targets and late last week, footage surfaced of a Russian hostage being beheaded by an Islamic State operative. 


In what may (or may not) prove to be the first attack on Russian soil by "the terrorists" (as Sergei Lavrov refers to ISIS), moments ago Russian media reported an explosion at a bus stop in Moscow. The cause: an IED.

  • RUSSIA'S TASS NEWS SERVICE CITES MOSCOW POLICE ON BLAST
  • MOSCOW BUS STOP BLAST CAUSED BY IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE: TASS

According to RIA Novosti, the bomb was "thrown" at a group of civilians. “Two women were taken to hospital with shrapnel wounds while the third victim suffered minor cuts and was given medical assistance on the spot,” TASS says.

Here are the first visuals from the scene:

More as we get it.

Lesson to be learned:  Don't fuck with a CIA op.  You won't like what happens next.

Something tells me Vlad was waiting for his chance to show the world how much bigger his sack is than Obummer. The joke's on Vlad though - Obummer doesn't have any balls, let alone a sack! Wookie took those little nutlets a long time ago.

He may just wait until they do something obvious and bigger.  And then big bad Putin is gonna do something, then he will.

This is all fun and games but if they do something like:  Blow up a russian air liner in flight or maybe shoot down one of Putin's jets over Syria and boast about it, or restart direct air bombings on Syrian military bases, or have someone like Turkey move troops INTO Syria and take positions or if the US were to start building a new air base in NE Syria -  Welllll, then Putin is gonna do something right away.  Or maybe he'll just play chess with his friends for 5 more years and check in afterwards to see what has happened.

Before the Sochi Olympics some loud Islamics boasted how they could upset the Games. If I remember correctly Vlad sent the gorillas to track them down and eliminate them.

I still can't figure out how any of them could be so stupid to openly threaten Putin on his own turf and expect to live.

There are other potential storylines about the Saudis.

Typically it is thought the Saudis are pulling the strings using their oil supply to get the US/NATO to do their bidding much of the time.  That the Saudis have more or equal control of the ISIS groups, may have created them and have great leeway in directing NATO's support of ISIS.

But what if the Saudis are being blackmailed and threatened - even if those efforts are not completely effective and the Saudis are beligerent about the relationship.  We have already heard threats to unseal the rest of the 911 secret report.  (Ignore the sheep who believe the report contains the truth, it is just another psyopp tool.)  And the quietly leaked rumors are that the report will make the Saudi family one of the sources of the attacks.  We see more msm articles associating the Saudi's and ISIS (not many but just enough to make the concept known).  What a great tool, if needed, take down the Saudi's (and extended family) due to 911 and ISIS and - All the Destruction.  Make Iraq2, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, France and any future false flags the responsibility of the Saudi family. 

What if Turkey is becoming the favored tool of the Zionist/US.  Turkey has the military to do the job, has relationships with ISIS, has the history of the Ottoman Empire, leaders with a lunatic desire to take over much of the ME and they are a NATO country in control of the strait.  While Turkey is muslim they come off as more western and less scary to the western sheep.

All governments are led by assholes, and Putin is no exception, but at least he's honest about it. He's also a competent asshole, which can't be said of someone like Obama.

Putin doesn't give a rip what others think of him, and when he does something, he isn't afraid to say that it's for the benefit of Russia. Western leaders sanctimoniously pretend to bomb in the name of democracy; Russia bombs in the name of killing people. Russia also doesn't import thousands of people from the countries it bombs in a sad attempt to look "humanitarian."

Western leaders can't even be proper assholes anymore. How pathetic.

If past performance is any predictor of the present, I'd say he will miss it, but we won't. Vlad is a pol too, that does not escape me, but damn, he can at least think several moves ahead, and (gasp) look like he is acting with something that resembles integrity. Obama? No chance. His sleaze is on his sleeve, dripping down his arm for all the world to easily see.

Vlad is trying to school us, as gently as he can allow. He has read and comprehended The Art of War.

Well, White House propaganist Josh Earnest warned that Russia would pay for its support of Syria's (legitimate) leaders Bashar al-Assad.

Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a complete theopolitical system.

Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components.

Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called ‘religious rights.’

When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to ‘the reasonable’ Muslim demands for their ‘religious rights,’ they also get the other components under the table. Here’s how it works (percentages source CIA: The World Fact Book (2007)).

As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness:

United States — Muslim 1.0%

Australia — Muslim 1.5%

Canada — Muslim 1.9%

China — Muslim 1%-2%

Italy — Muslim 1.5%

Norway — Muslim 1.8%

At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs:

Denmark — Muslim 2%

Germany — Muslim 3.7%

United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%

Spain — Muslim 4%

Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. (United States).

France — Muslim 8%

Philippines — Muslim 5%

Sweden — Muslim 5%

Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%

The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%

Trinidad &Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is to convert the world & to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris, Sweden –car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam – Mohammed cartoons).

Guyana — Muslim 10%

India — Muslim 13.4% (*note: India is currently at approx. 20%)

Israel — Muslim 16%

Kenya — Muslim 10%

Russia — Muslim 10-15%

After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings and church and synagogue burning:

Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks and ongoing militia warfare:

Bosnia — Muslim 40%

Chad — Muslim 53.1%

Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels:

Albania — Muslim 70%

Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%

Qatar — Muslim 77.5%

Sudan — Muslim 70%

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:

Bangladesh — Muslim 83%

Egypt — Muslim 90%

Gaza — Muslim 98.7%

Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%

Iran — Muslim 98%

Iraq — Muslim 97%

Jordan — Muslim 92%

Morocco — Muslim 98.7%

Pakistan — Muslim 97%

Palestine — Muslim 99%

Syria — Muslim 90%

Tajikistan — Muslim 90%

Turkey — Muslim 99.8%

United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace — there’s (supposed) to be peace because now everybody is a Muslim. We know, however, that this isn’t true, is it.

Afghanistan — Muslim 100%

Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%

Somalia — Muslim 100%

Yemen — Muslim 99.9%

Of course, that’s not the reality. To satisfy their blood lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons...and they are coming to a neighborhood near you ...so keep thinking they are not going to harm you and they "accept" you.

Remember to vote wisely in 2016.

 

And it's a form of collectivism so leftists are sympatico. Correct. And since the Islamic state is not a religion, it has zero protections under our 1st Amendment. And can be legally discriminated against, same as Nazism.

The jihadi in the picture looks very east European. Maybe he lured the Russian victim? In any case, if Vlad got a good picture of him he's a goner.

Also, where did the murder take place? The killer is dressed for very cold weather, right down to gloves.

Members of one of the UkroNazi groups, Pravy Sektor, have been caught suggling weapons and explosives into Russia. I wonder if the evidence regarding perpetrator  will point in their direction. Things would get very interesting as ISIS members and Grey Wolves have descended on Ukriane. Ukraine is also supplying Russian standard fragmentation bombs to (NATO equiped) Qatar. I suspect those bombs won't end up on aircraft, maybe IEDs for false flags trying to incriminate Russia.

Members of Azov, the other hardcore UkroNazi group, are prepared to go to Syria to fight against Russia.

This article points out some crtical thinking items which seem to be absent from many discussions.

Main point is that with all the weaponry, human assets and seemingly endless ability to bypass security . . . how is it that regular joes are the targets, not politicians, business moguls or other influencers. In times past (see examples in article) assasinations targeted actual leaders and members of the establishment.

Worth a read.

I do not fault Putin on that one too much, but it was anything but a precision operation.

There were around 50 bad guys and 500? civilians.  Killed amost all the bad guys and over 100 civilians.

Under the circumstances it may have been the best choice both short term and long term.

Mon, 12/07/2015 - 17:56 | 6889701 Anopheles

There were about 40 to 50 attackers, all extremely well armed, and lots of explosives, with about 850 civilians as captives.   The theatre was rigged with a huge bomb that would have brought the roof down and killed almost everyone.  They had been holding the theatre and captives for almost  3 days already. 

Spetsnaz did an amazing job considering what they were facing. Any one of those 50 attackers could have detonated that big bomb and killed almost everyone in the theatre.    They really had no other choice.   Where the government did make a big mistake was not telling doctors what gas they used and how to treat it and over 100 civilians died.

Because this is Russia, rest assured the perp will be captured, dead or alive (if he hasn't been already). If caught alive, he will be severely punished. And we will quickly learn who he's working for.

The Tall Three of San Bernardino, meanwhile, are assuredly already in Qatar, lying low in a five-star hotel with all the booze and post-Soviet hookers they can stand. Security theatre isn't very good at catching real terrorists trying to flee American justice. It's highly unlikely that anyone in DC will ever admit their existence, much less catch the Tall Three.

I have not followed the details closely so if I am well off base on this point it out.

These two had to be on the radar and watched due to travels overseas to become engaged, move her here to marry and their associations overseas and groups they aligned with here.

What better patsies and what better way to do it.  They know about the party, through some method either make him so angry he leaves or just kick him out due to some minor work issue.  Then they know where he is and where is will be going when he leaves so they can grab him.  And they have the excuse of why he went postal and came back (with faces covered).  With their methods they can make both of them helpless zombies, move them into position and execute them in a way to make it look like they were fighting back.

News sites report 2 to 4 injured. Both twitter accounts (https://twitter.com/polinanem, https://twitter.com/unkn0wnerror) reporting this incident seem to be associated with the so called liberal opposition in Russia. The opposition seems to be blaming the FSB and Putin himself, others blame the opposition for instigating a false flag attack. No news, pure crap, the explosion was so 'massive' that the bus stop wasn't even damaged. Move on, nothing to see here.
