Amazing news over the week-end: President Lukashenko has declared that Biden gave the order to kill him in a coup organized by the CIA. Now, we all know that Lukashenko says all sorts of things, many of them false or plain silly. Except that the Russian FSB has confirmed it all! According to the Russians, a joint operation of the (Bielorussian) KGB and the Russian FSB has uncovered the plot early on and the Russians monitored the full operation until they had enough evidence to arrest all the plotters. Not only do the Russians have videos of their meetings, they also intercepted their Zoom video conferences (Zoom users, use Jitsi instead!).
So far so good. But it gets better!
Unlike the US/UK and others, the Russian FSB did not say that they were “confident” that it was “highly likely” that this operation took place. They released all the footage of a meeting of the plotters in Moscow which confirms it all (I don’t have the time to translate that footage, but I am confident that somebody will – if you come across an English language translation, please post it in the comments section below!).
One not familiar with such operations might be baffled over why this meeting took place in Moscow and not in Warsaw or Riga. There are several reasons for that:
- There is a practically open border between Belarus and Russia, which form “а unified state”, and there is nothing easier for the (supposed) Bielorussian traitors (from the military) to jump in a car and get to Moscow.
- Using Warsaw or Riga would dramatically reduce what the CIA calls “plausible deniability” for the US and NATO.
- Yes, meeting in Moscow was still stupid, but no more stupid than the failed US coup to do to Maduro when the US did exactly what they tried to do to Lukashenko. The fact that both operations failed is par for the course for the (mostly clueless) CIA.
- The main plotter, a very well-known anti-Lukashenko activist, is a double national Bielorussian and US American and for him to move to Minsk for that meeting would be very dangerous.
- Last, but not least, the Bielorussian KGB operates in a very tightly controlled Bielorussian society whereas Russian is an open and liberal society, so one could have (mistakenly) thought that a meeting in Moscow would have been a better idea.
Interesting story, no?
Also, if you wonder whether it is credible that the FSB saved Lukashenko – I will remind you that it was the Russians who saved Erdogan from a US-backed coup which was also supposed to include Erdogan’s murder (the Turks practically admitted it publicly several times).
But it gets even better!
As soon as the accusation of a CIA plan to murder Lukashenko in a coup came out, they did what they always do: denied it against all evidence and created a huge distraction: the US colony known as the “Czech Republic” declared that the explosion of a weapons depot in the Czech Republic in 2014 was a Russian sabotage involving… … wait for it… … drum roll…. the very same Petrov and Boshirov whom the UK accused of poisoning the Skripals!
Friends, the Czechs released this story withing ONE HOUR of the Bielorussian news! One hour, seriously!
The Czechs immediately expelled 18 Russian diplomats and the Russian reciprocated by expelling 20 Czech diplomats leaving only 5 in Moscow. So if we use the English expression about the “shit hitting the fan”, then it would also be fair to refer to the Czechs as “shit shields” for the Empire :-)
By the way, the official Czech investigation in 2014 concluded that the explosion was caused by negligence, not sabotage but, really, who cares? After all, look at these accusations, all as unproven and as silly as this one: (partial list in no special order)
- Russian invaded the Donbass
- Russia shot down MH-17
- Russia tried to poison the Skripals
- Russia murdered Berezovskii
- Russia tried to poison Litvenenko
- Russia tried to poison Navalnyi
- Russia murdered Boris Nemtsov
- Russia murdered Politkovskaia
- Russia tried to poison Yushchenko
- Russia interfered in two (!) US Presidential elections
- Russia hacked the DNC computers
- Russia paid Afghans to kill US soldiers
- The Russians shot down the aircraft of the Polish president over Smolensk
- The Russians tried to organize a coup in Montenegro
- The Russians organized the movement for an independent Catalonia
To repeat, none, NONE of these accusations were ever proven or even substantiated. ALL of these accusations are solely based on the putatively undeniable credibility of the western special services.
And, of course, the western “Russia experts” all fully endorsed this nonsense (hey, that is what these so-called “experts” are paid to do; as somebody who once was a member of the IISS, I know these “experts” and their “expertise” well enough – I even resigned from the IISS in protest over its total subservience to US anti-Russian narratives).
And people who call themselves “democrats” and people capable of critical thought buy all this shit with no doubts whatsoever, none. They don’t even see how pathetic and clueless they really are…
So the Czechs (and their US masters) are running a well rehearsed and “safe” track because they all know that the western audience is fully accustomed to hear the following:
“We accuse Russia of X, we say that our special services have evidence, but we won’t present any; as for the western media, they will, of course, trust the western special services, because they are “democratic” and, therefore, “trustworthy” (Iraq anybody?!).
Another trick, which the Czechs used in this case, is this: on the first day announce urbi et orbi that “we will soon release all the incontrovertible evidence we have” and then simply declare it classified because it is important not to show the Russians the evidence of their own, putatively Russian, operation. As for the western press, they, of course, simply forget about that and go onto the the next Russia bashing story.
It is simple, but with the kind of sheep the western regimes deal with, it is also effective.
Finally, when truly desperate, you can count on the MI6 run Bellingcat to get their “evidence”, I kid you not, from the social media on the Internet.
And, again, the western sheep “eat it all up”, with appetite and gusto! Sic transit gloria mundi indeed!
Still, accusing the self same two putative GRU agents Petrov and Boshirov shows how desperate the Czechs were to cook up some story literally overnight. Now they look stupid beyond any conceivable explanations for such a massive and, frankly, hilarious faceplant.
Will the people of the Czech Republic now revolt in outrage against the sheer idiocy of their leaders? Nah, of course not. After all, we are living in a post-truth (and, I would argue, post-logical) world where the only thing which matters is to follow the SS motto of “my honor is fidelity” and blind obedience to the masters of the day.
What about the US in all this? Would “Biden” really be crazy enough to try to murder a foreign leader?
Well, as I like to say, past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior, right? How many foreign leaders has the CIA actually murdered and how many did she only try, and fail, to murder? (Note: somebody ought to compare the number of foreign leaders murdered by the US and the USSR. I am sure that the comparison would be both shocking and very telling). How about the official (White House admitted) murder of General Soleimani? Was that operation not far more dangerous than to use locals to try to assassinate a weakened and embattled leader like Lukashenko?
So, you tell me: true story or “Russian disinformation”?
The Saker
PS: in case you wonder, the Russians are laughing hysterically and scratching their heads wondering what in the world happened to a once civilized western society.
PPS: by the way, the Russian FSB also arrested the Ukie consul in Saint Petersburg at the moment when he was receiving classified information from what he thought was an agent. He will be expelled. It was a great weekend for the FSB – there will be lots of medals handed out for this good work.
UPDATE 1: Maria Zakharova, the Foreign Ministry’s chief spokeswoman has now officially confirmed it all on Russian TV.
UPDATE 2: The Kremlin just confirmed the Putin and Biden discussed this topic during their telephone conference.
UPDATE 3: Got to love the western media, not a word about the coup, all about the Czech fairy tale.
It is not new, but Luka is not realiable.

Umm…slightly off-topic, but the president of Chad was just killed in a battlefield fight with rebels
https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/chad-s-president-killed-in-battlefield-fight-with-rebels-military-says-1.5394294
“There’s no evidence to suggest this was a coup committed by his troops. Anyone who follows Deby knows he used to say ‘to lead troops you have to smell the gunpowder,”‘ tweeted Cameron Hudson with the Atlantic Council’s Africa Center.”
”…Over the years Deby had survived numerous armed rebellions and managed to stay in power until this latest insurgency led by a group calling itself the Front for Change and Concord in Chad.
The rebels are believed to have armed and trained in neighbouring Libya before crossing into northern Chad on April 11. Their arrival came on the same day that Chad’s president sought a sixth term on election day, which several top opposition candidates boycotted.
Deby was a major French ally in the fight against Islamic extremism in Africa, hosting the base for the French military’s Operation Barkhane and supplying critical troops to the peacekeeping effort in northern Mali.”
Will the allies have to die for Kiev?
by Thierry Meyssan
The Ukrainian population is divided between a part of European culture and another of Russian culture. This singularity offers Washington a playground against Moscow. For several weeks now, the drums have been beating, sounding war. But none of the allies want to die for Kiev or sacrifice themselves to Russia.

US order against Russia: Italy at attention
by Manlio Dinucci
All NATO member states were urged to go to the North Atlantic Council as soon as possible and sign a declaration against Russia. None missed the call. However, when President Biden appeared to back down by inviting his Russian counterpart to a summit, they were less enthusiastic. It is as if they had become obedient to the United States again, but were less pressing since they had tasted freedom under President Trump.

“my honor is fidelity”???
More like “Purity is a cover for sleaze — a story as old as time” as a link in an article in the Whitewashington Post says, except my guess is that they got it wrong and Matt Gaetz is probably the only Senator not trafficking minors given how often both factions of the mainscream media gets everything inside-out, backwards, and upside-down.
Every issue it is the same ubiquitous hypocrisy and projection. “Communist Chinese Party,” Putin Regime — whatabout some othersidism such as the former Trump Regime and the current Biden Regime and the two factions of the Neoconservative, Neoliberal, Corporatist, Demopublican Party???
Are we seeing a pattern developing? First, friendly Russians are helpfully on hand to save their unreliable neighbour the President of Turkey from a dastardly American plot to murder him; with the result that he quickly comes to understand that he really, really needs to stay on good terms with Russia. Secondly, friendly Russians are helpfully on hand to save their unreliable neighbour the President of Belorussia from a dastardly American plot to murder him; with the result that he quickly comes to understand that he really, really needs to stay on good terms with Russia. Might Preident Xi soon come to the same understanding? Maybe he’s sharper than Erdogan and Lukashenko and won’t need the first part of the lesson.
At this point is it even possible for the general public to distinguish between clownish American coups, and cunning Russian use of fake clownish American coups?
“How many foreign leaders has the CIA actually murdered and how many did she only try, and fail, to murder?”
I’d rather know the domestic numbers…

The fact the powers that be are still trying to push the laughable GRU agent crap proves the Brits are involved and how desperate they are. The Brits are just like the Germans pre WW11 propaganda. The majority are so thick and lazy they are willing to believe anything the MSM tells them.
The truth is the name NAZI was just a brand name but because it became toxic was seemlessly replace with the brand name NATO and no one noticed. Same racist ideollogy – hated of Russia.
Some remark about state of the nation.
Lot’s of talk about health crisis, health care improvement, education, compensation for social issues , infrastructure development, would be more to it than just misunderstood words.
Pres. Putin refers -in the small part on foreign policy- to that recent Belarus coup / assassination plot as “over the top” or something like that could not be the work of a couple of individuals.
Remarks silence of Western press.
Refers to Russia not as a bear but as Tiger surrounded by Hyena’s, smearing Russia for no reason, Russia will find an answer to every single challenge and it’s response will be asymmetrical, quick and strong.
Some reference to new weapon systems also towards end of ’22, or does that translate to “now”?
Tourism: when “reopening” Russia is going to be “world cup” like welcoming people from all over the world for visits, to be facilitated by 4 day e-Visa possibility.

I wonder if the Russians are aware of the fact they have HUGE support from all over the world?
My grandfather was sent to Ekaterinburg during the first world war to evacuate Tsar Nicholas II and his family but the family were assassinated before they got there. He loved the Russians he met and always said how generous they were with warm clothing and food. Temperatures were -50 and raging flu pandemic. Only one person died in the 1/9 Hampshire Cycle Brigade the rest came home.
The anti-Russian hysteria and hatred seen in recent Czech discussion forums has reached such stratospheric levels, they even surpass Two & Five Minutes Hate described by George Orwell. If Hitler were today alive, he would have certainly applauded to the Czech Republic’s citizens for their astounding anti-Russian wokiness instead of trying exterminating them by hard labor and targeted executions.

The CIA has always been our domestic terrorist. Defund the CiA, FBI, DOJ and DHS. Take any honest investigators and put them under control of the Marshall’s Service, That is the only federal agency that has had no scandals and who actually work.
