i think you’re right, but that testimony was given in the 1950’s… and history teaches that McCarthy was a maniac… so we’re a little behind on the infiltration defense. maybe we made some progress in recent years though ;)
starting to think maybe the russians got ahead of the FF at zaporizhzhia. maybe the zelensky squad’s plans got leaked or something and they can’t go through with it because everyone knows now. the msm is trying desperately to “russia” this in advance while also trying desperately to save the “counteroffensive is going well” narrative
i might be right too

'Frustrated' by the flop' offensive, Ukraine has allegedly come up with a big nuclear plot. Ukraine is said to be planning to launch a large-scale attack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant. The warning was voiced by officials of the Russian atomic energy agency Rosenergoatom. Officials said Ukraine plans to hit the plant with a nuclear-waste-laden missile. The Explosive claim about the nuke plot comes as Kyiv announces a shift in offensive focus. Ukraine now aims to 'inflict maximum damage on Russians rather than territorial gains.'
this is the frontline of the information war. the battle for the narrative. all the worlds msm is trying to convince us the counteroffensive is “fruitful” for ukraine, and now that russia was plotting to destroy this plant. the other narrative is that of hindustan times and russia… which narrative makes most sense or is most likely true? who is deceiving? lies v. truth; good v. evil it’s all happening on this story

Despite continued accusations from Ukraine that Russia is planning to “blow up” the Zaporizhia NPP (ZNPP), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says its experts at the site “have so far found no visible indications of mines or other explosives”.
The IAEA said its experts were able to inspect parts of the plant’s cooling system, including some sections of the perimeter of the large cooling pond and the isolation gate of the discharge channel of the nearby Zaporizhia Thermal Power Plant (ZTPP). It noted that both this channel and the cooling pond “hold reserves of water that remain available for use by the ZNPP despite the destruction of the downstream Kakhovka dam more than three weeks ago”.
The IAEA experts have also been conducting regular walkdowns across the six reactor units and other areas around the site. Access to further areas is still expected, including parts of the turbine halls and some parts of the cooling system. “As previously indicated, the IAEA is aware of reports that mines and other explosives have been placed in and around the ZNPP, including mines near the cooling pond.”
IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said such reports are taken very seriously IAEA experts at the site had been instructed to look into the matter and request necessary access. “Until now they have not observed any mines or other explosives. Further access will still be needed.”
The five basic principles for the protection of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant (NPP) that Director General Grossi established on 30 May at the United Nations Security Council state that there should be no attack from or against the plant and that it should not be used as storage or a base for heavy weapons – multiple rocket launchers, artillery systems and munitions, and tanks.
“We need full access to be able to confirm that the five principles have not been violated, and we will continue to request the necessary access to all those areas essential to nuclear safety and security so that we can deliver on this mandate, including that the plant should not be used as storage or base for heavy weapons and munitions,” Grossi said. We are reinforcing our own presence at the plant to monitor compliance with these principles that are of paramount importance for protecting the plant and preventing a major nuclear accident during the war.”
IAEA said that since the Kakhovka dam was breached on 6 June, causing a rapid drop in water levels at the plant’s reservoir, ZNPP has been relying on separate reserves of water held near or at the site, especially the ZTPP’s discharge channel. Currently, the plant’s six reactors continue to be cooled using the essential cooling system, now being replenished with underground water pumped from the site’s drainage system, Grossi explained. For other water needs, the plant has recently switched from using the ZTPP discharge channel to the large cooling pond next to the site.
Since Russia took control of ZNPP in March 2022 as part of its special military operation in Ukraine, the Russian national guard, Rosgvardiya, has been protecting the station. In October, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree formally transferring ZNPP to Russian jurisdiction under nuclear utility Rosenergoatom (part of Rosatom). A Russian Federal State Unitary Enterprise. Zaporizhia NPP was established by Rosenergoatom to operate the plant. However, Ukrainian nuclear utility Energoatom still claims ownership of the plant.
Reports by Russian military analysts have continued to suggest that retaking control of ZNPP is one of the main objectives of the Ukrainian counter-offensive. There have been four unsuccessful attempts by Ukrainian forces to storm the plant since September 2022. Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other for shelling that has repeatedly downed power lines vital to cooling the reactors, which are shut down but which need a constant supply of electricity to keep the nuclear fuel inside cool and prevent a possible meltdown. Russia and Ukraine have also accused each other of destroying the Nova Kakhovka dam.

30 June Ukraine held large-scale special exercises “in the event of a possible terrorist attack”. These were coordinated by Energy Minister Herman Galushchenko, Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko State Emergency Service head Serhiy Kruk, Energoatom President Petro Kotin, and the head of the State Inspectorate for Nuclear Regulation, Oleg Korikov, as well as regional and military leaders.
"During the exercises, various scenarios of a possible accident at the station and the impact of this event on the surrounding areas were simulated, said Galushchenko. The training exercises involved the public notification system, traffic monitoring and radiation monitoring and evacuation of the population by road and rail transport. Galushchenko emphasised that in the event of an accident, the population should only follow the recommendations of official representatives of the authorities.
Simultaneously the press service of Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defence alleged in a statement that personnel were being evacuated from ZNPP. It said Ukrainian employees who had signed a contract with Rosatom had been advised to evacuate and to leave by 5 July for Crimea.
In response, the adviser to the General Director of Rosenergoatom, Renat Karchaa told Rossiya 24 TV: "In fact, this is either another attack of schizophrenia, or another planned lie within the framework of the scenario that the Ukrainian regime fabricating. Of course not – no one gave instructions about any departures." He added that ZNPP was operating normally. “We did not give any such instructions to our employees. No one is going anywhere."
Karchaa said the station now employs almost 4,000 people. "some periodically leave for the weekend, some go on planned vacations."
He added that the misinformation was intended to create an "alternative virtual reality" in preparation for some kind of false flag operation for which Russia would be blamed. "It is quite obvious that they are preparing some kind of special operation aimed at a nuclear incident," he said.
Vladimir Rogov, a member of the Main Council of the [Russian] regional administration of Zaporozhye, told Izvestia that Ukraine constantly threatens relatives of ZNPP employees. “Everything is normal at ZNPP. Russian specialists and other people are at their jobs, and continue to work despite blackmail and threats, as well as all sorts of threats.” These are aimed “not so much at people who work at ZNPP and who have signed contracts with Rosenergoatom, but at their relatives”, he said. He explained that many employees have relatives in territories controlled by Ukraine. "And regularly they are told that their relatives will be detained or put in jail because they are considered a traitor…. There are hundreds of cases of this kind. People share this with us, but we can't help them, because these people are under the control of the Zelensky regime, and we can't influence this.”
the big thing, hopefully, will be that the FF DIDNT occur because the russians got ahead of it and exposed zelenskys plan. the irony is the infiltration of msm and propaganda now exposes them. we can discern reality when we analyze headlines and common narratives from sources they use to tell us what they WANT us to hear. more people are realizing this

MOSCOW, July 4. /TASS/. The US-led Western countries backing Kiev are deliberately working to paint Russia as a country engaged in nuclear terrorism so as to pin the blame on Moscow for potential false flags at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), Renat Karchaa, advisor to the CEO of Russian state nuclear power corporation Rosenergoatom, told the Rossiya-24 TV channel.
On June 23, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya said at a UN Security Council meeting that Moscow was highly concerned about Kiev’s increasingly shrill allegations that Russia is booby-trapping the ZNPP.
"It’s no longer enough for them [the West and the US] to damage Russia’s reputation. Now, they are seeking to accuse us of nuclear terrorism so they can then step forward [portraying themselves as] saviors of the world. <…Their goal is to set the stage and fashion an image [from whole cloth] of Russia as a country that engages in nuclear terrorism," Karchaa noted.
According to him, the West is calculating on a false flag incident that the Ukrainian side may stage at the ZNPP to give it legal grounds to interfere directly in the conflict in Ukraine. Karchaa said that Russia was taking comprehensive measures to ensure security at the facility and the nearby area "within Russia’s authority."
