Sovereignty, US hypocrisy, nuclear warnings: Key takeaways from Putin’s Federal Assembly address

Russian leader spoke about issues like the Ukraine conflict, international relations, and the nation’s socio-economic development

Russian President Vladimir Putin has addressed the Federal Assembly, the country’s national legislature, detailing plans for the future development of the nation as well as its strategic goals. His speech, which set a duration record, comes just two weeks ahead of the country’s presidential election, in which Putin is seeking another term.

In his two-hour-and-six-minute address, he reflected on the international geopolitical agenda but spent most of his time focusing on domestic issues. He announced five new national projects, set a number of goals for 2030 and proposed several tax reforms, as well as other socio-economic initiatives.

Below are some of the highlights from his speech.

Russia will overcome attempts to constrain it

The president stated that Russia has proven that it is capable of solving the most difficult problems and challenges, has been able to repel “the aggression of international terrorism” and preserve national unity, despite Western attempts to tear Russia apart like it did Ukraine and to turn it into a “dependent, fading, dying space where they can do whatever they want” by sowing national conflicts.

Moving forward, the president stressed that Russia will continue to defend its freedom, preserve its history and traditions, further develop its democratic institutions and protect its sovereignty, not allowing anyone to interfere in its internal affairs.

Russia’s military potential

Russia’s combat capabilities have significantly grown over the past several years, as its forces have gained enormous combat experience and a new generation of talented commanders has emerged who are able to competently carry out their missions, use new equipment and solve diverse tasks.

The country’s strategic nuclear forces have also been modernized with the latest hypersonic technology, Putin said, adding that they will continue to be equipped with increasingly effective weaponry.

The president also reported the Burevestnik unlimited-range cruise missile and the Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicle were being completed while the first Sarmat heavy ballistic missiles have already been delivered to Russia’s troops and will soon be “demonstrated in operations deployment areas.”

Ben Bergquam Reports from Darién Gap That US is Funding Processing Centers in South America and Flying Illegals into America BEFORE They Reach The Border

The Democrats are now hiding the crisis at the southern border by meeting illegals halfway and flying them into the United States.

Real Americas Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam is on a fourth escapade through the Darién Gap, where he discovered “15-acre facilities” that the United States is using to process and smuggle illegals into the United States before they even reach the border.

The Darién Gap is known as the world’s most dangerous route for illegal immigration into the United States between Colombia and Panama.

“The numbers at the border go down, but the numbers that are going into our country go up,” Bergquam reports from Central America.

Oscar Blue Ramirez added, “When they get to every port of entry from Central America and South America, they will be categorized now as refugees and asylees,” saying the Great Replacement Theory “is not a theory anymore.”

Ilegal immigrants’ access to the US with full rights is being streamlined through these processing centers called Safe Mobility Offices. According to the Associated Press, they’re then being shipped into the US by plane.

Associated Press reports, “With the safe mobility initiative, they’re arriving as refugees who have already met the requirements and will be legally allowed to live and work in the U.S. The process takes only months, while more traditional refugee screening is a yearslong effort.”

These processing centers, run by the US State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and globalist organizations, are located throughout Central America in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Ecuador.

According to National Immigration Forum:

As part of a far-reaching plan to address large-scale migration across the Western Hemisphere, the Biden administration announced in spring 2023 that it was establishing new regional processing centers in Latin America, where prospective immigrants, temporary workers, and refugees would be able to access free screenings for potential lawful pathways to the United States and beyond.

Federal Judge Blocks Texas Law That Gives Police Power to Arrest Illegal Aliens Amid Biden Border Invasion

It’s all hands on deck to stop Texas Governor Greg Abbott from securing the southern border as tens of thousands of illegals invade the US every single day on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.

US District Judge David Ezra, a Reagan appointee on Thursday issued a temporary injunction that blocked a Texas law that gave local police power to arrest illegal aliens.

“The preliminary injunction granted by U.S. District Judge David Ezra pauses a law that was set to take effect March 5 and came as President Joe Biden and his likely Republican challenger in November, Donald Trump, were visiting Texas’ southern border to discuss immigration. Texas officials are expected to appeal.” – ABC News reported.

In December Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed a bill that gives Texas police power to arrest illegal aliens amid Biden’s border invasion.

“Biden’s deliberate inaction has left Texas to fend for itself,” Abbott said, adding the new bill is designed to “stop the tidal wave of illegal entry into Texas.”

“At the Texas-Mexico border today for a bill signing ceremony that will take #OperationLoneStar to the next level,” Abbott said on X.

Aid Truck Stampede 'Massacre' In Gaza: Israel Accused Of Opening Fire On Crowd

There are reports of a mass casualty event in Gaza City on Thursday, with Hamas claiming at least 104 Palestinians killed and several hundred wounded or injured (though casualty numbers have fluctuated in the immediate aftermath). However, Israel is disputing local accounts of what happened and says people died following a stampede caused by Palestinians rushing aid trucks.

There are several different versions of what happened, but all accounts agree that mayhem was unleashed when some 30 humanitarian aid trucks containing food were positioned on the street under Israeli protection. Gaza has been on the brink of famine, and so reportedly hundreds of people rushed toward to trucks hoping to obtain something.

And that's when according to The Guardian, "An Israeli source said Israeli troops opened fire on Thursday at 'several people' among a crowd that surrounded aid trucks in the Gaza Strip after feeling under threat."

Quickly in the aftermath, and as gruesome videos emerged from the scene, Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas issued a statement condemning what he described as "the ugly massacre conducted by the Israeli occupation army this morning."

Palestinians say that Israeli troops shot indiscriminately into the crowd and used the aid trucks in a kind of "ambush" - while Israel's military says people were killed in a "stampede for aid" and "crowd crush," and that some of the deaths were the result of Israeli soldiers being under immediate threat.

Widely circulating video from the aftermath (warning: disturbing images)

>Hunter Biden acknowledged Joe was ‘the big guy’ in $5M China deal, NY Post reports

Former Biden Aide Paid Fani Willis’s Deputy DA Jeff DiSantis $131K in 2023

Democrat operative and Fulton County’s Deputy District Attorney Jeff DiSantis received four payments totaling $131,335 for providing consulting services to Rep. Gabriel Amo (D-RI), a former Biden White House aide who worked with local elected officials, Federal Election Commission records show.

The money flow is significant because sources with direct knowledge of Fulton County’s office told Breitbart News DiSantis is a Biden plant inside a Fulton County office to target former President Donald Trump.

DiSantis’ payments were previously unreported.

DiSantis was working at county DA’s office while operating a consulting firm named “20/20 Insights, LLC.” Sources told Breitbart News deputy district attorneys would likely have to sign an oath that prohibits them from working outside their county employment agreement. DiSantis’s oath, if he signed one, remains undisclosed.

It is also curious that DiSantis contracted with Amo, who worked in the Biden administration as the deputy director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs before running for Congress in 2023. There he worked as the principal liaison to mayors and “local elected officials,” according to his White House bio. Amo also served as an adviser on President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign and later served on his transition team.

“That is the connection to the White House,” one source told Breitbart News. “DiSantis did this. He’s the one. He is the one pulling all the strings. He was the one that walled her [Willis] off. He was in every important meeting. He is the brainchild behind this.”

Trump promising to GUT “intelligence” agencies infested with TRAITORS

Okay, so it was more of a maybe, but former President Donald Trump did say he is "likely" to launch sweeping reforms of America's intelligence apparatus if reelected as president this November.

U.S. intelligence agencies like the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) could be on the chopping block if Americans reelect Trump to the White House this fall, which is prompting many of them to express fresh fears about what this might mean for their continuity.

According to Politico, which recently interviewed 18 intelligence officials about the matter, Trump's sort-of-promise to gut the intelligence establishment of all traitors could "undermine the credibility of American intelligence."

"Trump intends to go after the intelligence community," one former senior intelligence official complained. "He started that process before and he's going to do it again. Part of that process is to root out people and to punish people."

All intelligence workers who are "perceived as hostile to [Trump's] political agenda" are to be replaced with "inexperienced loyalists," is how Politico summarized the sentiments of the spooks it interviewed about the matter.

Two people specifically named as likely Trump targets are former acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Richard Grenell and aide Kash Patel, both of whom played a key role in declassifying information about the true origins of "Russiagate."

Lloyd Austin Says Israel Has Killed Over 25,000 Women and Children in Gaza

He also said the US has provided 21,000 munitions to support the slaughter since October 7

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said on Thursday that Israel has killed over 25,000 Palestinian women and children in Gaza since October 7.

When asked how many women and children have been killed during a House Armed Services Committee, Austin replied, “It’s over 25,000.”

The number is higher than the estimate that’s been put out by Gaza’s Health Ministry. The ministry said on Thursday that over 30,000 have been killed so far and has consistently said about 70% of the casualties are women and children, which puts the women and child death toll around 21,000.

Gaza’s Health Ministry does not account for the thousands of civilians who are missing and presumed to be dead under the rubble or for Palestinians who may have been buried instead of being sent to a hospital or morgue. The breakdown of communications in the Gaza Strip has also impeded the Health Ministry’s ability to keep a count.

In October, President Biden accused the Palestinians of lying about the death toll when confronted about civilian casualties. “I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed,” Biden said.

But a few weeks later, Barbara Leaf, assistant secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, acknowledged Gaza’s Health Ministry has always been reliable and said the true death toll is likely higher than what they’re reporting. Israeli media reports have also said that Israeli military officials believe the Health Ministry’s numbers are close to accurate.

Austin also said the US had provided Israel with 21,000 munitions since October 7 to support the massacre, which does not include the American-provided bombs Israel was already armed with, as it receives $3.8 billion in military aid from the US each year.

Despite the massive civilian casualty rate and the International Court of Justice ruling that it’s “plausible” Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, the US continues to provide unconditional military support and political cover.

Six children die of malnutrition in Gaza hospitals: Health Ministry

Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza has also gone out of service due to a lack of fuel for generators.

Six children have died from dehydration and malnutrition at hospitals in northern Gaza, the Health Ministry in the besieged Palestinian territory has said, as the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the besieged enclave worsens.

Two children died at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, the ministry said on Wednesday. Earlier it reported that four children died at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, while seven others remained in critical condition.

GitHub besieged by millions of malicious repositories in ongoing attack

GitHub keeps removing malware-laced repositories, but thousands remain.

GitHub is struggling to contain an ongoing attack that’s flooding the site with millions of code repositories. These repositories contain obfuscated malware that steals passwords and cryptocurrency from developer devices, researchers said.

The malicious repositories are clones of legitimate ones, making them hard to distinguish to the casual eye. An unknown party has automated a process that forks legitimate repositories, meaning the source code is copied so developers can use it in an independent project that builds on the original one. The result is millions of forks with names identical to the original one that add a payload that’s wrapped under seven layers of obfuscation. To make matters worse, some people, unaware of the malice of these imitators, are forking the forks, which adds to the flood.

Whack-a-mole

“Most of the forked repos are quickly removed by GitHub, which identifies the automation,” Matan Giladi and Gil David, researchers at security firm Apiiro, wrote Wednesday. “However, the automation detection seems to miss many repos, and the ones that were uploaded manually survive. Because the whole attack chain seems to be mostly automated on a large scale, the 1% that survive still amount to thousands of malicious repos.”

Given the constant churn of new repos being uploaded and GitHub’s removal, it’s hard to estimate precisely how many of each there are. The researchers said the number of repos uploaded or forked before GitHub removes them is likely in the millions. They said the attack “impacts more than 100,000 GitHub repositories.”

GitHub officials didn’t dispute Apiiro’s estimates and didn’t answer other questions sent by email. Instead, they issued the following statement:

WESTERN WARMONGERS REVEALED THEIR LIE: MILITARY OF NATO COUNTRIES FIGHTING IN UKRAINE

Another scandal is gaining momentum in Europe. NATO warmongers reveal their own secrets, confirming all Moscow’s statements from the very beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, which NATO leaders used to call “Russian propaganda.” The war of NATO against Russia in Ukraine is based on lies and brainwashing, but sometimes these lies can no longer be hidden. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently confirmed one of the main claims of “Russian propaganda”, which NATO has denied for years.

Scholz explained that he would not to supply Ukraine with German long-range Taurus missiles, because he did not want to send German troops to Ukraine as Britain and France do. Berlin is allegedly not willing to become a “participant in the war.”

Thus, Scholz officially confirmed that Storm Shadow missiles are aimed at their targets with the help of the British and French military deployed in Ukraine. These missiles are mainly used for the attacks in the Russian rear areas, including in Crimea.

The deployment of NATO military in Ukraine was confirmed by numerous reports and different evidences from the frontlines as well as by the official claims by the Russian military and intelligence services; but Kiev’s Western partners and the MSM continued to assure their public that there are no Western military in Ukraine, not even mercenaries.

London was outraged by the claims of the German leader but did not deny them. Following this statement, the German Chancellor was criticized for disclosing classified information that could “endanger British personnel on the ground and help the Russians.”

“This is a blatant misuse of intelligence, deliberately designed to distract attention from Germany’s unwillingness to arm Ukraine with its own long—range missile system [Taurus],” said Tobias Ellwood, former head of the defense committee of the House of Commons of the British Parliament.

While the European leaders are preparing their population to the possible deployment of their military personnel on Ukrainian frontlines, they likely think that there is no more need to hide the real scale of their involvement and responsibility for the hostilities in the war-torn country. European officials are no more hiding the presence of their special forces in Ukraine.

A senior European defense official told the Financial Times that there are “Western special forces” in Ukraine, which are not officially reported. “Everyone knows that there are Western special forces in Ukraine — they just didn’t officially recognize it,” the source told the FT.

The stakes are rising and the hypocrisy of Kiev and its Western patrons is being exposed. Now its turn of the Europeans to decide whether they are ready to go to war and die for the interests of their lying leaders, who unleashed a bloody war, ready to sacrifice not only Ukrainians, but also their own citizens.

ICE Arrests 275 Illegal Alien Sex Convicts

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials arrested nearly 300 illegal alien convicted sex predators off of America’s streets this month in a widespread operation.

ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) said that it was making use of the limited resources that Congress has given it by going after the most dangerous illegal aliens in the U.S.

The agency highlighted some of the arrests that it made during the operation, which ran from February 5-16:

A 26-year-old citizen of El Salvador in Houston, Texas, convicted of felony aggravated sexual assault with a firearm.

A 44-year-old citizen of Mexico in the Bronx, New York, convicted of felony attempted sexual abuse 1st degree: person incapable of consent/physically helpless.

A 44-year-old citizen of Cuba in Tampa, Florida, convicted of felony traveling to meet a minor after using computer services or devices to solicit certain illegal acts and unlawful use of two-way communications device.

A 71-year-old citizen of Mexico in Pittsburg, California, convicted of felony continuous sexual abuse of a child.

A 58-year-old citizen of El Salvador in Gaithersburg, Maryland, convicted of felony sodomy first degree and felony sex abuse first degree.

A 25-year-old citizen of Mexico in Denver, Colorado, convicted of felony child prostitution – soliciting.

A 34-year-old citizen of El Salvador in Memphis, Tennessee, convicted of felony sexual exploitation of minor – exhibition of minor.

A 45-year-old citizen of Nigeria in Providence, Rhode Island, convicted of felony indecent solicitation of a child.

The alleged crimes are just the latest examples of high-profile offenses involving illegal aliens since President Joe Biden took office. Under the Biden administration, more than 7.2 million illegal aliens — a number greater than the population of 36 U.S. states — have entered the U.S. The border crisis has become the top issue for voters heading into this fall’s general election, an expected rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reports a massive increase in the number of criminal illegal aliens encountered at the U.S. border under Biden’s presidency.

Jerusalem Post: "Antisemitism Must Be Criminalized Before It's Too Late"

The Israeli paper the Jerusalem Post ran a column on Tuesday calling for "antisemitism" to be "criminalized" worldwide in order to stop criticism of Israel amid their genocidal ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza.

From The Jerusalem Post:

Antisemitism must be criminalized before it's too late - opinion

Since the October 7 brutal and reprehensible massacre of Israeli and foreign civilians and the taking of hostages, the world is witnessing an unprecedented resurgence of pure antisemitism.

By ALAN BAKER | FEBRUARY 27, 2024 04:05

Tragically, from time immemorial, genocidal antisemitism has figured as a major recurring phenomenon. It has caused the brutal mass murder of millions of Jews, and has generated death and suffering through massacres, pogroms, inquisitions, lynching, torture, enslavement, and property confiscation, to mention but a few of its evils.

Since the October 7 brutal Hamas terrorist incursion into Israel and the reprehensible massacre of Israeli and foreign civilians and the taking of hostages, the world is witnessing an unprecedented and utterly dangerous resurgence of pure antisemitism.

This should neither be taken lightly nor minimalized. It needs to be treated as a major and legitimate cause of concern […]

Not surprisingly, the column makes no mention of Israel slaughtering women and children in Gaza by the thousands in the name of "wiping out Amalek."

(The Jerusalem Post in December claimed Palestinians were faking their own children's deaths with crisis actors.)

The phenomenon of antisemitism has, over the years, been researched by international, regional, and nongovernmental organizations, and has even been addressed marginally in some international resolutions and declarations. Certain states, in their domestic legislation, have even legislated and criminalized antisemitism.

However, the international community as a whole has never considered criminalizing antisemitism in a manner similar to the criminalization of other odious phenomena such as genocide, racial discrimination, piracy, hostage-taking, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and terrorism.

Considering the plethora of material dealing with antisemitism, and the horrific tragedies that it has wrought for thousands of years, the present reawakening of antisemitism on such a large and dangerous scale requires international action. Indeed, one might have expected that, over the years, some effort would have been made by the international community to criminalize and declare antisemitism to be an international crime with a view to ensuring that perpetrators, inciters, and all those involved in it would be dealt with as international criminals, and would not enjoy impunity.

[…] With a view to correcting this international historic injustice, the present author, through the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, attempted in 2015 to circulate within the international community and in Jewish communities a draft "International Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Anti-Semitism" for adoption by the United Nations.

The Great Taking: How Deep State Will Ensure You Own Nothing

Right now, there is a global plot dubbed "The Great Taking" to steal stocks and other assets from Americans and people across the world. Here is how we stop it…

A longtime investment banker named David Webb is exposing a global plot dubbed "The Great Taking" to steal stocks and other assets from Americans and people across the world, explains The New American magazine Senior Editor Alex Newman in this episode of Behind The Deep State. As part of the plan, laws were quietly changed to strip security owners of their property rights and instead give them a "security entitlement."

And when the system crashes, which Webb suspects will happen this year, you will own nothing, and ordinary investors will be left out to dry as unsecured creditors while the megabanks take priority. Thankfully, there are efforts to stop this in its tracks.

Egypt Sells Out Palestinians for $10 Billion Loan Package.

Despite public protestations, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is helping Israel transfer 1.4 million Palestinians from Rafah to tent cities in the Sinia Desert.

On Saturday, western news agencies reported that closed-door negotiations took place in Paris that were aimed at reaching an agreement on a ceasefire in Gaza.

According to Reuters the talks represented “the most serious push for weeks to halt the fighting in the battered Palestinian enclave and see Israeli and foreign hostages released.”

Regrettably, the reports from Paris were largely a media-engineered deception intended to divert attention from the real purpose of the confab.

Keep in mind, the primary attendees of the gathering were not senior-level diplomats or trained negotiators, but the directors of the Intelligence services including the head of Israel’s Mossad, David Barnea, Egyptian spy-chief Abbas Kamel, and CIA Director William Burns.

These are not the men one would choose to hammer-out a hostage exchange or a ceasefire deal, but to implement electronic surveillance, espionage or black ops. Thus, it is extremely unlikely that they met in Paris to settle on a plan for the cessation of hostilities. The more probable explanation is that the respective spy-chiefs are putting the finishing touches on a collaborative plan to breach the Egyptian border wall so that one and a half million severely-traumatized Palestinians can flee into Egypt without any serious opposition from the Egyptian army.

Such an operation would require considerable coordination in order to minimize the casualties while, at the same time, achieving its overall objective. Naturally, any breach would have to be blamed on Hamas who will undoubtedly be the convenient scapegoat for blowing up a section of the wall creating an opening for thousands of stampeding Palestinians.

In this way, Israel could characterize the mass expulsion as a “voluntary migration” which is the cheery-sounding Zionist sobriquet for ethnic cleansing. In any event, the bulk of Gaza’s Moslem population will have been evicted from their historic homeland and forced into refugee camps scattered across the Sinai Desert. This is Netanyahu’s endgame which could take place at any time.

There is some doubt as to whether Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi will cooperate with Israel and allow the Palestinians to enter Egypt en masse, but those doubts are based on speculation not fact.

$87 Million Buys This for Jamie Dimon: David Boies Can’t Utter the Words “JPMorgan Chase” in a Jeffrey Epstein Sex Trafficking Case

On Friday, February 16, ahead of a three-day weekend, JPMorgan Chase quietly filed its 10-K (annual report) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The document carried the bombshell that the bank had paid an astonishing $1.4 billon in legal expenses in 2023 – a 426 percent increase over the prior year’s legal expenses.

While the bank didn’t break down the names of the law firms that received the lion’s share of those legal expenses, public records can fill in most of the blanks.

Throughout 2023, JPMorgan Chase was paying the expensive lawyers at WilmerHale to defend it against a federal lawsuit brought by the David Boies law firm, Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP, on behalf of the raped, assaulted, and sex trafficked underage victims of Jeffrey Epstein. JPMorgan was also paying WilmerHale lawyers throughout 2023 to defend it against Epstein-related charges brought by the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands. In both cases, the plaintiffs credibly alleged that the bank was actively-engaged in facilitating Epstein’s criminal sex-trafficking enterprise by providing the financial services and hard cash necessary to keep it going while willfully violating its duty to report the cash transactions to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

Both cases were settled by JPMorgan last year, thus preventing the mountain of heavily redacted and sealed documents from seeing the light of day in a jury trial. The Epstein victims’ case was settled for $290 million while the U.S. Virgin Islands case was settled for $75 million.

Throughout last year’s scandalous headlines, the Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, preposterously stuck to the story that he didn’t know the notorious Epstein was a client at the bank, from at least 1998 to 2013, and likely much longer.

The Boies law firm and another law firm involved in the Epstein victims’ case, Edwards Henderson Lehrman, received $87 million in legal fees from the $290 million settlement, plus more than $1 million in legal expenses.

Now we’re learning new details about what else WilmerHale and Dimon extracted from David Boies (in addition to a ton of documents remaining sealed or redacted) in exchange for that $87 million payday.

Earlier this month, David Boies filed a federal lawsuit against Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, Epstein’s personal lawyer and accountant, respectively. There are two named plaintiffs who seek to become the class representatives in a class action against Indyke and Kahn: Danielle Bensky and Jane Doe 3.

Bensky’s allegations originate during the time-period in which JPMorgan Chase was funneling $40,000 to $80,000 a month in hard cash to Epstein so he could pay hush money to his victims and incentive cash to his recruiters of underage girls. But instead of Boies including what would be the very critical information against JPMorgan Chase that was obtained in discovery in last year’s cases, the bank’s name is not mentioned once in the 85-page court filing.
