France raises terrorism threat level
The alert was increased after gunmen killed nearly 140 people in Russia
France has raised the terrorism alert level across the country following an attack on a packed music venue in Russia, which left 137 people dead.
On Friday, four Tajik nationals opened fire inside the Crocus City Hall outside Moscow and set the building on fire. All terrorists were later detained while attempting to flee by car to Ukraine, according to President Vladimir Putin.
The jihadist group Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISIS-K) claimed responsibility for the attack. Moscow has so far not confirmed the group’s involvement.
“Following the attack in Moscow, the French president has convened a meeting of the National Defense and Security Council this evening,” French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday.
“In light of the Islamic State’s claim that it was responsible for the attack, and the threats looming over our country, we have decided to raise the Vigipirate plan to the highest level,”the prime minister added. (They’ve almost git more muslims in France that the French citizens, they should have been afraid a long time ago.)
France has been living under reinforced security measures since the series of terrorist attacks in January 2015, when a group of Islamists killed 17 people in Paris and its suburbs. The government responded by enacting Operation Sentinel, which saw the deployment of armed soldiers to patrol the French capital.
One of the deadliest Islamist attacks in recent memory came in November 2015, when suicide bombers and gunmen killed 130 people in Paris.

Macron obsessing over personal security amid Ukrainian conflict – media
The French leader is said to be “totally freaked out by the Russians” amid his own efforts to antagonize Moscow
French president Emmanuel Macron's concerns for his own personal safety are being amplified by his public statements and tough stance on the Ukraine conflict, Marianne magazine reported on Sunday.
The magazine spoke to multiple sources within Macron’s security detail, the country’s Interior Ministry, and to his notoriousex-bodyguard Alexandre Benalla. During his time with Macron’s security team,Benalla became embroiled in multiple scandals, includingbeating up demonstrators alongside riot police during the Yellow Vest protests.
Macron has always been concerned with his personal security, Benalla claimed, revealingthe president had bolstered the ranks of his guard right after assuming office.
“As soon as we arrived at the Elysee, the staff responsible for the president’s security were immediately doubled compared to those responsible for that of [predecessor] Francois Hollande,” the disgraced bodyguard explained.
The Yellow Vests protests, which have plagued Macron’s presidency throughout his first term and beyond, have left a dent. Macron’s spouse Brigitte has been particularly concerned that her husband would ultimately end up assassinated, Benalla claims.
“She was always very worried about him. At home, there is the fear of ‘Kennedy syndrome,’ that he will end up assassinated,” the insider reportedly claimed.
The situation has deteriorated further as a result of Macron's determination to present himself as a hawk on the conflict between Moscow and Kiev.The president’s security team has been working in “red” mode since at least last summer, an unnamed source “at the heart” of Macron’s guard system told the magazine.
“Recently, he is provoking so much that he is afraid,”a source at the heart of the Macron security system confided. “Since last summer, he has taken on some big guys to accompany him. They are more visible and also more effective in intervening in the event of a crowd movement.”
The Frenchpresident is apparently not afraid of facing off angry citizensas is, but rather fears the alleged Russian “hybrid threat,” the report suggested. He has repeatedly voiced concerns over “state-level” threats emanating from abroad, whilein private blaming the alleged threat exclusively on Moscow, and creating a special taskforce to tackle it.
“Macron is totally freaked out by the Russians. One morning, he arrived at the intelligence services andrequested the creation of a special task force on Russian interference overnight. Colleagues have to hold a meeting daily, it doesn’t excite them much,” a senior official with the Interior Ministry told Marianne.

Poland summons Russian envoy over ‘missile incident’
A projectile fired at Ukraine had violated the Polish airspace, the country’s army said
Warsaw summoned the Russian ambassador on Sunday, saying that a missile launched at Ukraine had briefly entered Polish territory.
“Poland will demand explanations from the Russian Federation in connection with another violation of the country’s airspace,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on its website.
According to the Operational Command of the Polish army, an air-launched missile had entered the Polish airspace at 4:23 am local time near the southeastern village of Oserdow and ==stayed there for roughly 40 seconds=. The intended target of the strike was in western Ukraine, it said.
Moscow has not commented on the matter. The Russian Defense Ministry reported during its Sunday briefing that its warplanes carried out strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
In November 2022, a missile crashed in the Polish village of Przewodow, near the border with Ukraine, killing two farmers.
Officials in Kiev quickly claimed that the projectile was fired by Russia. Polish President Andrzej Duda, however, said that the missile had likely been fired by a Ukrainian air defense system, and that there was no evidence that the projectile was of Russian origin.
(==Poland is very paranoud.)

The US is cultivating an antagonist to China in Beijing’s own backyard
Ferdinand Marcos Jr, the president of the Philippines, is a stark contrast to his predecessor – and besides,Washington has dirt on him
The Philippines has been a treaty ally of the United States since 1951, almost as long as it’s been an independent country. Before that, it was a colony of the US, which had won it as spoils of war from Spain. Because of this, it is hard to characterise the Philippines as anything but an unabashedly pro-American nation.
In the past few years however, it took a different line. Under the presidency of the very blunt and frank Rodrigo Duterte, the archipelago became more geopolitically ambiguous in its foreign affairs, pursuing closer relationships with Russia and China, while still being cordial to the US.
This unusual “hedging” was part of Duterte’s strategy to adopt a more centralised approach to governing thecountry, which suffers from high levels of poverty, crime and disorder. Duterte was a hardliner, and also saw economic opportunity in getting closer to Beijing, despite highly contentious disputes over the South China Sea. His relationship with Washington suffered during this period, as it effectively contributed nothing to the development of the country despite the US post-colonial “overlordship”. Instead, Duterte opted for the Belt and Road initiative and sought to turbocharge the islands with Chinese investment.
Yet, just a year or so after Duterte’s departure, the return to power of the Marcos family has seen Manilla do an effective 180° turn in its foreign policy, and gofrom being pro-Beijing to an effective antagonist of the country in favour of the US again. Ferdinand Macros Jr, also known as “Bongbong,” is the son of Ferdinand Marcos, who ruled the Philippines as a right-wing, anti-Communist dictator from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s.The family was notorious for its corruption and theft of national assets for its own personal gain, but got away with itprecisely because it was unequivocally pro-US. For during the Cold War, Washington would support figures of any brutality on the condition that they were anti-Communist.
Bongbong, like his father, is not innocent, and was elected president of the Philippines as a compromised man who is at the mercy of the US. Ironically, he faces prosecution in the US as a court order requires him to pay $353 million to victims of his father’s regime, thus he cannot enter the country. What does this translate to in political terms? Leverage, on Washington’s behalf. Noticeably, the American authorities do little to enforce the ruling or seize assets pertaining to Marcos or his family, for diplomatic reasons. What is the quid pro quo here? It is clear that as long as Bongbong steers the Philippines' foreign policy where the US wants it, Washington will look the other way when it comes to the court order against him.
And it is absolutely no surprise that on attaining office, Marcos Jr initiated a U-turn on the country’s stance regarding China, and has dramatically escalated tensions with Beijing.While the Duterte administration sought to keep matters cool over the South China Sea territorial dispute, Marcos Jr has deliberately antagonised Beijing, pushing boundaries, and drawing international attention to the situation, provoking the US to say it will defend the Philippines in the event of conflict. Similarly, dozens of senior US officials have visited the country as part of a sweeping US charm offensive.
But not only that, he has agreed to increase the number of bases the US can access in the Philippines, has congratulated Taiwan’s president-elect, actively scaled back Manila's participation in the Belt and Road initiative by cancelling a number of projects, and has instead sought to court a relationship with Japan as an alternative to China, with the US, Japan and the Philippines set to have a trilateral leaders’ summit for the first time. In a nutshell, thePhilippines has gone from being a China-friendly state in Southeast Asia to easily the most antagonistic, a difficult position to take, due to the relative economic weakness of the country and its trade dependence on China.
For China, this situation is a headache and there are no easy answers. This is because Beijing has a resolute and uncompromising position on the South China Sea, most of which it claims as its own. The rigidity of this position not only clashes with Southeast Asian states but creates an easy political wedge for the US to exploit. China makes itself look weak if it backs down, and US policy of course is to incentivise such countries to actively resist Beijing and give them the military backing to do so. So how can China mend its relations with the Philippines? It may simply have to avoid creating a crisis and wait until a more Beijing-friendly presiden

==Sunday Talks – (Lying) Senator Marco Rubio Says ISIS-K Behind Moscow Terrorist Attack
March 24, 2024
The United States Intelligence Community (USIC) has claimed that ISIS-K is behind the terrorist attack in Moscow. Florida Senator Marco Rubio affirmed his agreement with that assessment during an appearance on ABC’s This Week with Jonathan Karl.
Other than the larger issue of Islamic jihadists carrying hatred for the renewed Christian values, as expressed by Russian President Vladimir Putin – which, conveniently can be considered a cover for those who may have organized an attack under the auspices of Islamic jihad –there are no datapoints in the known fact-pattern that align with ISIS-K as the originator. Additionally, the foursuspects were captured by mostly Muslim Chechan security forcesin the Bryansk Region of Russia.
That said, the largest datapoint, pointing away from the ISIS-K origin, is the USIC so quickly identifying ISIS-K as the perpetrators.
Remember, this is the same USIC who claimed in the December 2016 Joint Analysis Report on the election that Russia had interfered(via Greezy Bear and Macadonian bot farms). The same USIC who claimed in their January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment, with a “high degree of confidence,” that Russia influenced the 2016 election (by spending $1,300 on FaceBook ads).And the same USIC that claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation (it wasn’t). So, take SSCI Marco Rubio’s confidence in the USIC with that backdrop. WATCH:

US destroyed anti-terrorism cooperation – Moscow
Russian envoy Anatoly Antonov said joint efforts on combating non-state threats had been the most important in bilateral relations
The US has dismantled its counterterrorism cooperation with Moscow, Russian Ambassador in Washington DC Anatoly Antonov has claimed. The diplomat added that joint work in this fieLd had been among the key aspects of the partnership between the two nations.
The official’s remark came shortly after several gunmen staged one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in Russia’s modern history, unleashing a shooting spree at the Crocus City concert hall just outside of Moscow on Friday evening. According to the latest estimates, the raid has claimed the lives of at least 133 people, with scores more injured.
Earlier this month, the US embassy in Moscow warned its citizens against attending large gatherings due to an imminent threat of a terrorist attack in the Russian capital.
In an article on Sunday, RIA Novosti quoted Antonov as saying:“I’ve always reminded the Americans that our president [Vladimir Putin]was the first one to extend a hand to the Americans and stated readiness to provide assistance in 2001,” referring to the September 11 terrorist attacks.
He noted that “some things [in this cooperation] worked out…and it is all destroyed today through no fault of our own.”
In its March 7 alert, the US embassy said that it was “monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts.” The embassy called on Americans to stay vigilant and “monitor local media for updates.”
The embassies of several other nations followed suit.
Speaking to reporters hours after the terrorists attacked the Moscow concert venue, White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby pointed out that thewarning earlier this month was not “related to this specific attack.”
“I’m not aware of any advance knowledge that we had of this,” the official added.
On Saturday, Russia’s FSB domestic security service reported that it had detained 11 suspects in connection with the attack. The four presumed perpetrators were intercepted in Bryansk Region, not far from the Ukrainian border.
