Good news. I look forward to hearing what he can’t say now. And I hope the Chile gov had a hand in that.

Boris Johnson and other warmongers in Britain are an absolute menace and seem determined to lead the UK and everyone else into WW3.. I suspect Johnson and Ukraine's Zelensky are the Globalist's allocated Spearhead in all this but it's frustrating to watch it all unfold - unfortunately vast numbers of people/public in the UK are mind controlled into believing the whole Demonizing of Putin and Russia... the conditioning and social engineering is everywhere even if you don't watch the MSM propaganda...

The U.K. Is Dragging The U.S. Into WWIII In Ukraine
*******************
PS... I'm very happy to see that Gonzalo Lira is alive and well...
Gonzalo Lira is now on in real time with Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris from The Duran. The livestream has been going for 50 minutes so far.
I've not started listening, but it'll be most interesting to see what Gonzalo can (or is allowed to) share about his experiences having been captured by the SBU. It all seems like an Easter miracle that he came to no harm, and I'm guessing that the Chilean (and maybe even the US) authorities must have somehow intervened.

I am extremely relieved to see Gonzalo is safe, and active again, he is humble enough to say others deserve the attention more, but so many have grown to love this guy, he is like a grizzled uncle you adore coming round, I'm sure we all feel the same way.
Thank goodness for UKcolumn news

Real news from the front line, raison d’etre, safe journalists, and absolutely rotten funding to promote NATO. Even Obummer raises its pot-stirring head yet again.
Love this news channel, please support, their links are absolutely truthful. All presenters with credible CV’s, no political agendas - just facts. We can decide for ourselves, real journalism at last.:heart:
This is a 4 minute video of Gonzalo Lira explaining his arrest and detention with the Ukrainian authorities. In the other video that was posted already, he mentioned he had to sign an agreement not to discuss their investigation of him. The earlier posted video runs about 2 hours and is mostly current events if you have the time and has very little video feedback, it is mostly audio.
The explosions remind me of the TianJin's port city explosion in 2015 which was inexplicably large, killing at least 200 people.
http://tribune-intl.com/wp-content/u...n-1140x641.jpg
There were conspiracy theories about the event. One possibility was the attempt to assassinate Xi, who was supposed to visit the port city.
There was also the talk of space weapon being used. Something like in an old James Bond movie in which the villain used to blackmail the world.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-revealed.html
U.S. space weapon
Natural News, a website which describes itself as America's truth bureau and claims to have more than seven million readers, claims China and America are at war and the explosions were carried out by a Pentagon space weapon.
It claims the attack was an act of 'kinetic retaliation' by the Pentagon in response to the devaluation of the Yuan.
The site tells readers that the U.S. used a secret space-based kinetic weapon called the 'rod of god' that can be dropped from 'high orbit to strike almost any land-based target'.
Is such a weapon used to strike Russian and China? Hope that Russia can produce incriminating evidence if this is the case.
Not to have read about all your good info
But I had a mail from a girl in Kiev.
They live like you and me.
She sent me a film of her neighbers cat left to her as she had desided to go.

Two high-quality minutes of Col. Douglas Macgregor with Tucker Calrson, today — who, to his credit (but maybe unsurprisingly to those familiar with him), listens very carefully.

This is pretty interesting, reported on Sputnik News:

Classified US Army Manuals Found at Azov Neo-Nazis' Base Near Mariupol
https://projectavalon.net/NATO_manuals.jpg
The unearthed materials are just the latest addition to a collection of trophies of military equipment and weaponry that western countries have been sending to Ukraine for years, despite objections from Moscow.
The inspection of the former base of the Ukrainian neo-Nazi battalion Azov near Mariupol led to a discovery of classified manuals — courtesy of the US Army.
The documents, contain instructions on to conduct counter-insurgency and reconnaissance operations, were supposed to be destroyed to prevent them from falling into enemy hands, but Azov fighters failed to do so.
https://t.me/sputniknewsus/12368
(video here, which can be seen on Telegram)The manuals, written in the Ukrainian, Russian and English languages according to a video shot by a journalist who was briefly able to study them, were discovered at the base where a sabotage team named SS Medvedi had been stationed. One of the manuals mentions the US Army Intelligence Centre at Fort Huachuca, while the other was published by the US Department of the Army.Proof of "who is responsible for what's happening" in Ukraine?
Secret US Army manuals and guidelines, in particular for intelligence units, were found at the base of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion near Mariupol, a Sputnik correspondent reports from the site
According to the Russian military, such documents must be destroyed if they cannot be retrieved but Azov radicals failed to do so in time.
Most of Mariupol, barring the Azovstal steel plant, has recently come under control of the joint forces of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and the Russian military, which extended help as a part of the special military operation launched on 24 February.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia was "forced" to start the operation to end the tragedy, genocide and suffering in Donbass, which has been sustaining shelling by Ukrainian forces for years.

Macgregor on Tucker 22APR22 "What's happening is the final annihilation of Ukraine's best forces"
The latest SitRep (situation report) from The Saker's blog: (a very long one, but as valuable in its detail as always. I've embedded the videos that were embedded in the original article, but not the many others.)
http://thesaker.is/sitrep-operation-z-13
The biggest development is the announcement by Russia/Putin of Mariupol’s “official liberation.” I’ve written before about how Russia often ‘jumps the gun’ on announcements, but it’s true that the city proper is liberated with the exception of the industrial complex of Azovstal. With that said, there are still upwards of 2000 or more highly trained, fanatical Azov militants and marine remnants of the 36th Brigade holed up in the factory, and they have extreme amounts of incentive not to surrender any time soon.
Bizarrely, western media continues to refer to Mariupol as ‘besieged’ and even Zelensky now claims Mariupol will be taken back soon and that a force is being ‘prepared’ to liberate the city from Russians. It’s hard to discern if this is complete delusion or pure propaganda – maybe a mix of both.
Putin also announced the cancellation of plans to ‘storm’ the complex in order to reduce risks to Russian servicemen, instead opting to besiege it and starve the Zelensky regime militants out.
DPR flag was hung at the highest point of Mariupol in honor of the liberation:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/m28IHMBBOm7F
On the topic of sieging the Azovstal, some additional information: Firstly, according to well-connected Aleksandr Sladkov, the sieged Azovstal remnants have around two weeks’ worth of food/supplies still left and that they had much more but it was destroyed in Russian strikes. So my original guess was roughly accurate that they could theoretically hold out another week or two, maybe more.
But with that said, the remaining allied forces will not simply stand idly by and ‘wait them out’. The tactic will be to continue air and artillery strikes on the factory complex in order to keep the psychological pressure on the Azovites high to accelerate their eventual surrender. So regular combat will continue around the complex, but the troops simply will not attempt to do the job of ‘tunnel rats’ and storm the ‘catacombs’ as Putin put it. As you know some enemy forces still maintain positions on the surface, in buildings etc., and those will continue to be engaged and eliminated while the ones deep below wait and fester.“The blockade ring around the [Azovstal] plant is now saturated with technical reconnaissance equipment, drones are constantly in the air.” We talked with the former chief of staff of the Alfa anti-terror group, Sergey Polyakov, about how to clean up Azovstal from nationalists: If someone leans out of the ground through the exits from bunkers or storm sewers, and even with a mortar, artillery fire opens on him. Whether it be during the day or at night.” According to Polyakov, aviation will continue preventive point bombing: Following the fire strikes, our assault groups will move forward. Today they took the Azovstal plant management. And so it will continue: the positions of the enemy will be gnawed out meter by meter. Time is now working for us.”Meanwhile, the Somali Battalion has already been fully recalled for redeployment back to the Donbass, headed mostly to the Avdiivka frontline.

A lot of reconstruction and cleaning up is already happening around Mariupol, administrative services returning and the like. First school classes in some sections as well. Other towns around the region and elsewhere are already de facto integrating into the Russian Federation more and more. For instance passes being issued in Berdiansk for official vehicles are now being registered with a seal that says Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Berdiansk, Russia.
http://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/w...-image-55.jpeg
And in liberated LPR cities like Svatove and Starobelsk, LPR license plates for cars are already being issued to replace Ukrainian ones.
A Ukrainian politician has stated the following:“Ludmila Denisova, Ukrainian Parliament’s Commissioner for Human Rights, says that the Russians are planning to hold an independence referendum in Kherson during May 1-May 10 to create another DNR and LNR like statelet in southern Ukraine. Ballots are reportedly being printed.”Also:
“Crimean Tatars support the inclusion of Kherson and Zaporozhye regions in the Crimean Federal District. The Crimean Tatars proposed to recreate the Crimean Federal District with the inclusion of the south of Ukraine. This statement was made by the head of the regional national-cultural autonomy of the Crimean Tatars Eyvaz Umerov.”Today Ukraine threatened that if ‘Russia holds a referendum for the Kherson People’s Republic, then Ukraine will withdraw from all negotiations with Russia.’ Likely Russia isn’t worried.
“Residents of the Kherson and Azov parts of the Zaporozhye regions of Ukraine, who once belonged to the Tauride province together with Crimea, speak of their desire to return to Russia, because they no longer want to be under the yoke of Ukrainian nationalists.
“At least 2/3 of the residents of southern Ukraine, in particular, Kherson oblast, parts of Nikolayev oblast and Zaporozhye, would vote in favor of joining Russia, if an appropriate referendum were to be held”, says Crimean senator of the Russian Federation Council Sergei Tsekov
And now there’s word that Kharkov too may eventually be allowed to hold a referendum, giving us a clue as to Russia’s ultimate vision for Kharkov Oblast.“Following the stabilization of the situation in the liberated territories of the Kharkov region, a referendum or a poll of citizens can be held on the political future of the region, head of the interim political administration of the liberated Kharkov region, told RIA Novosti.”Rustam Minnekaev, deputy commander of the Central Military District of Russia has stated that the goal of Phase 2 is to capture Donbass and create land corridor to Crimea. Then Peskov reaffirmed the goal to integrate most of the southern areas of Ukraine into the ‘Russian space’.
‘Minnekayev also said that controlling southern Ukraine would open “another way to Transnistria,” where he claimed “there are also instances of oppressing the Russian-speaking population.”’
http://dxczjjuegupb.cloudfront.net/w...-image-56.jpeg
It’s looking more and more likely that some version of the map above is the minimum of what will come about as a result of the SMO. I say minimum because there is no indication whatsoever that Phase 2 is the “final phase”, simply that these are roughly the objectives of Phase 2. There may very well be further phases to capture the rest of Ukraine, although even if/when captured, Russia will most likely not incorporate those territories but rather conduct regime change and thorough de-militarization/de-nazification on the remaining rump-state of Ukraine to make sure it cannot be a threat ever again.
In other news, a group of Communist Party deputies led by Gennady Zyuganov proposed a bill to the State Duma to change the national flag of Russia. They propose to replace the white-blue-red stripes with the Soviet red banner with a hammer and sickle. Doubtful that this will work but they are clearly trying to ride the new wave of patriotism.
Also, Russia will increase the production of Kalibr missiles.“This conclusion is made by the analyst “InformNapalm” Anton Pavlushko on the basis of data discoveries.With that said there appears to be sabotage strikes aimed at stopping these efforts as yesterday an important military research facility in Russia suddenly burned down with 7 dead and 20-30 injured. It happened in the same day that a large chemical plant also caught fire under suspicious circumstances.
He cites information that the UEC-Saturn plant in the Russian city of Rybinsk, Yaroslavl Region, is recruiting up to 500 new employees due to “increase in production volumes.” It is at this plant that engines for Caliber missiles are produced.
And then our Western friends got excited, because according to their version, Russia has long since run out of missiles, and there is nothing to produce new ones from.”

But not to be left out, the U.S. suffered its own humiliation. A B-1B lancer, one of the U.S.’s most advanced supersonic bombers worth $300 million, burned down during routine maintenance. The whole fleet was grounded last year to investigate problems with the fuel system – I guess they never managed to fix them. The whole fleet seems in trouble.

Another interesting development, in the Donbass a member of the OSCE was arrested for espionage.
OSCE employee detained:
https://twitter.com/Cyberspec1/statu...56096956276736
More and more reports recently have come to light showing how deviously the OSCE has been operating. One report said that OSCE officials even provided artillery fire correction for the AFU forces by leaving cameras on their cars in the vicinity which transmitted feeds to the AFU. The organization has truly been exposed as a clandestine operation for the West akin to the White Helmets.
On the war front, Russia has begun bombing rail infrastructure, this time striking bridges and railways in Zaporizhzhia and Dnieperpetrovsk to hamper AFU resupplies.

“BREAKING: A Russia strike in the north of Mykolaiv Oblast has killed up to 80 Ukrainian soldiers and destroyed 23 Armoured vehicles, including a command post.”
It also took control of a massive secret underground arsenal in the Kharkov region, which is said to be the largest in all of Ukraine.
https://twitter.com/MarQs__/status/1517549948048494594
This underground bunker has a storied history, reportedly built in WW1 to supply the Russian army and was used strategically in WW2 as well. There appears to be thousands of tons of built up armaments, including western artillery ammo, etc that is now seized by the RF.

“Since the beginning of the military operation and the appearance of Ukrainian prisoners, many of them tell how the Ukrainian command intimidated them with inhuman torture in Russian captivity. They were convinced that Russian officers would torture them, cut them with belts, burn them alive, etc. Having been taken prisoner, they were surprised at the humane attitude towards their miserable skins. However, there are cases when Ukrainian soldiers, believing in the stories of their commanders, try to commit suicide in order not to be captured by Russian “sadists”.”And such a true story emerged yesterday when two new prisoners were captured, one of them said how their own commander shot himself in the head when the Russian forces approached. However this commander missed and the bullet went through his jaw – he survived and was treated in captivity. There’s a photo of him floating around, I’ll post if I can find it again.
“The photo shows a Ukrainian officer who was captured with his fighters in the area of n. Staromayorskoe village (DPR). But he believed in the tales of his command about torture and decided to leave for another world quickly. He tried to shoot himself, putting the muzzle of his machine gun to his chin, but he chose the wrong trajectory – and the bullet went through the jaw. Now he has to be treated. But this suicide will now be able to make sure that the military-political leadership of Ukraine are liars and traitors.”The irony is that the Ukrainians are terrified to surrender to the Russians because their command lies to them of the ‘barbarity’ of the Russians with claims they are brutally torturing and killing all captives, hiding the truth from them that it’s in fact their own side that’s doing that to Russian POWs. And the same tactic is used on civilians in besieged cities like Kharkov to keep them from rising up or evacuating. They shoot all civilians who try to leave then say it’s the Russians who are shooting all cars on the road.
