Podcasts about Crocus

Sarah Price is a landscape gardener who's always seemed to exist on another plane. Her designs work with the environment to create something that feels both otherworldly and of the earth. After undertaking a degree in Fine Art, Sarah went on to design gardens for the London Olympic Park, Manchester's Whitworth Gallery and a Maggie's Centre in Southampton. But she's also made some of the most remarkable - and memorable - gardens on the Chelsea Flower Show Main Avenue, winning two gold medals in the process. We meet Sarah in her garden at home in Abergavenny, Wales, which once belonged to her grandparents. As we walk the paths, streams and tunnels that she had played in as a child, Sarah tells us some of the stories that her garden has carried, how this precious and magical space informs her practice, and what we often overlook when we make gardens. Sarah Price can be found online, www.sarahpricelandscapes.com, and her instagram, @sarahpricelandscapes. She is supported by gardeners Keri Schofield, Jacky Mills and Ian Mannal; Rachel Seaton Lucas in her studio, and Crocus, who she has worked with since 2011.This podcast is inspired by my book, Why Women Grow: Stories of Soil, Sisterhood and Survival, which is available in all good bookshops.

Some people move house for the location, some people move for the fireplaces: for Ula Maria, it was a neglected, overgrown garden in South London that confirmed her future home. The Lithuanian garden designer is arguably the most celebrated of her generation: Ula became the youngest person to ever win Best In Show at Chelsea in 2024 - and only the third woman to take the prize in the Flower Show's century-long history.But behind the scenes of a skyrocketing career, Ula was navigating considerable personal struggle and loss - and, all the while, she was building her own garden from that overgrown plot. It's here that we speak to her about all of it: her achievements, her designs, her life, and what it's actually like to be in the middle of a Monty Don media storm. Find out more about Ula's work on her website, ulamaria.com, and her instagram, @ulamariastudio.

Few Chelsea Flower Show gardens are designed by women. Fewer Chelsea Flower Show show gardens are created by the people they are intended for. And there has never before been a Chelsea Flower Show garden inspired by and made for female prisoners. But The Glasshouse Garden, garden designer Jo Thompson and founder of social enterprise The Glasshouse, Kali Hamerton-Stove, have done exactly that: created a show garden that breaks boundaries. Behind the duo's beautiful show garden, in the heart of the Chelsea Flower Showground, we were joined by Jo and Kali and a live audience for a special press day recording of this powerful conversation. You can find out more about The Glasshouse at theglasshouse.co.uk, or follow them on Instagram, @theglasshousebotanics.

In this episode of fx Medicine by BioCeuticals, host Lisa Costa-Bir speaks with naturopathic physician and nootropic expert Dr Greg Kelly about the evolving role of nootropics in supporting cognitive performance. Greg shares how plant-based and nutritional compounds - including bacopa (Bacopa monnieri), saffron (Crocus sativus), gotu kola (Centella asiatica), alpinia (Alpinia galanga), L-theanine, and nicotinamide riboside - can enhance focus, memory, motivation, and mental energy. The conversation explores how these agents work through key pathways such as acetylcholine signalling, neuroplasticity, and mitochondrial function. Greg also unpacks the concept of brain resource depletion, the impact of modern distractions, and why nootropics are just as relevant for healthy individuals as they are for those with cognitive challenges. He offers practical guidance on stacking, cycling, and how to support non-responders by returning to foundational naturopathic principles like sleep, nutrition, and stress management. This episode is packed with practical, science-backed takeaways for anyone looking to optimise focus, memory, motivation, and overall cognitive performance - whether in clinical practice or everyday life.

Seeing as it's now autumn, a number of bulbs can be planted in the garden. Here's a few of them: Tulip A fabulous early spring colour. There's some historical stuff with the Dutch making heaps of money out of often virus-ridden “varieties” (early 1600-s AD) selling them for Fl 3000.00 per bulb (while the average yearly wage of a skilled craftsman was around Fl 300.00) – the bulb bubble burst in 1637 AD. These days they are a bit cheaper and more reliable. They grow well in South Island with very cool winters – up north they need winter chilling (taking out of the soil and put in fridge for 8 weeks). In mild climates it pays to plant later in the year, in May or June. But in South Island, planting the bulbs can start in a few weeks; order them now! Great bulb outlets: Bulbs direct Garden Post NZBulbs Fiesta Bulbs Hadstock Farm in Springston Work the soil to 20 cm deep in sunny to semi-shade positions(bulbs prefer well-drained soils). Plant 15 cm spaced and 15 cm deep – in warmer climates, plant them a bit deeper (20 cm deep). A bit of mulch over the planting site will keep weeds down. Bulb fertiliser is recommended and after flowering, some blood and bone will feed the green leaves. Do NOT cut those green leaves after flowering: they gather sunlight (photosynthesis) for re-stocking the food reserves inside the bulbs underground. Narcissus Daffodils Prep the soil to 40 cm or so – daffodils' roots go way down! Plant them 10 cm deep and spaced to 10 cm apart. Well-drained soils work best – perhaps under deciduous trees. Hagley Park is a great example. Planting them in full sun is okay too. Mass planting works well, and the bulbs will come up year after year. They are not as fussy as tulips in terms of cool winter soils. Apart from the far north, the whole of New Zealand is daffodil country. Bulbs will multiply. Crocus: the lovely smelling spring flowers Plant the corms in autumn a couple of centimetres deep and closely-spaced for best effect – they are best lifted after the foliage dies down. Of course, Saffron is a crocus, but it flowers in Autumn (March). Leucojum, also known as snowflake It has a special place in my heart: we used to have a rare and endangered native species in the wetlands where I used to roam as a nature nerd in the Netherlands. Many different varieties now – flowering in early spring, planting in early April. Bulbs in containers Most of these bulbs do well in containers. Picture a terracotta pot with these plants massed together – you can shift them inside when they flower to enjoy, or put them on the patio so you see them through the ranch-slider.

The conversation highlights the intricate themes of beauty and horror, the impact of reputation, and the dark atmosphere surrounding the characters' journeys. In this conversation, the participants delve into the intricate character developments and thematic elements present in the Malazan series. They explore the etymology behind character names, the growth of Crokus and Aspalar, the elemental forces influencing the narrative, and the machinations of the Shadow Throne.

It's spring, and bulbs will flower soon. Nourish and protect them now with simple techniques.

When you see crocuses, Spring has sprung

Jacob Laval (The Unbreakable Boy, John Mulaney and the Sack Lunch Bunch) and Amanda Warren (The Night Agent, East New York) headline a Sicilian tale about sowing the seeds of kindness, compassion and crocuses.

James' norovirus lingers... but spring is here so there's that... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Well winter is on our doorsteps, and for the general population any thoughts of gardening stops, as the common thought is the 'garden has gone to sleep'...Well nothing could be farther from the truth, as the season of shorter days and chilly weather could be one of the most important and busy in the yearly life of your garden. Join Saul and Lucy every week as they show you exactly how busy they are, whether getting everything festive for Xmas, clearing up after the latest storm, enjoying the emergent shoots of early flowering plants or getting ready for spring and a return to the start of the great garden cycle!It's another episode of your favourite professional gardening duo, and this week, Lucy and Saul are (thankfully) getting back to practical horticulture. Saul has been busy admiring his magnolias at Stonelands, and Lucy has won the battle of the miscanthus bed on Mersea, and the thorny bed at Kingsland. Hurrah!! We also thank our marvellous listeners (yes, that's YOU!) for helping Lucy with her coastal conundrum - Griselinia littoralis is the clear winner. And spring IS springing! We're happy to be fools if it's not - because there are definite signs that this glorious season is on its way.Instagram links:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensTwitter links:Saul @GardeningSaulSupport the show

As Henrietta Courtauld and Bridget Elworthy explain in our first Earthly Matters episode, people come for the flowers but they stay for the soil. Since forming their company, The Land Gardeners, in 2011, they have combined their cut flower-growing and landscape design businesses with a mission that fuels them on a daily basis: researching the earth beneath our feet to better understand how to repair the soil that feeds nearly everything we build our existence upon.Their work has seen them transform unloved gardens and agricultural plots into hives of thriving, promising productivity - and Henrietta and Bridget are always looking towards the techniques that the less courageous will take years to deploy. This year, their insight is being shared in a major exhibition at Somerset House, called Soil: The World at Our Feet. Amid drifts of snowdrops in the garden of Henrietta's Cornish home, we spoke about how The Land Gardeners' persistent commitment to soil health has taken them all over the world, learning, speaking and spreading the secrets of soil. Use code WWGSPRING at Crocus.co.uk's checkout to save 20% on full priced plants.

As winter lingers and the earth remains quiet beneath its frosted blanket, a small yet determined bloom emerges—the crocus, one of nature's first whispers of spring. Delicate but resilient, this tiny flower knows when to work and when to rest, unfurling its petals in the morning light and gently closing as dusk falls. In this soothing episode, we explore the crocus's quiet wisdom, from its place in ancient myths to its remarkable ability to sense the changing seasons. Let the gentle rhythm of the crocus guide you into rest. Through soft storytelling, poetic imagery, and peaceful reflection, we invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and trust in nature's quiet cycles. Just as the crocus knows the light will return, you too can let go, settle into stillness, and drift into sleep.

Autumn crocus is not a crocus.

Chef and bestselling author Anna Jones has inspired the way hundreds of thousands of people cook for years - and we were delighted to be invited into her courtyard garden in East London for this episode of Why Women Grow. Anna won't profess to being a great gardener but her approach to food extends far beyond the kitchen. She works with edible flowers, seasonal produce and has written whole books about cooking in a more environmentally conscious way. Anna spoke about how she navigates the world through her senses, what her garden has held and how she has learned to grow there. A big thank you to Anna Jones. Anna's delectable new book, Easy Wins, is out now. We're grateful to our partners at Crocus for making this episode happen.

Deux mois après l'attentat qui a fait 143 morts dans la grande banlieue de Moscou, une question est toujours sur la table : le sort des travailleurs migrants tadjiks en Russie. Une nécessité vitale pour l'économie du Tadjikistan, un besoin pour la Russie dont l'économie en surchauffe a besoin de bras. De notre envoyée spéciale à Douchanbé,Au départ de Douchanbé pour Moscou, le même processus depuis bientôt deux mois : un passeport scruté sous toutes ses coutures, un visa pour la destination vérifié de manière démonstrative, appuyée et même rugueuse : « On a eu trop d'amendes pour irrégularités » s'est justifié lors du passage de RFI le préposé aux contrôles de la compagnie aérienne.C'est que depuis l'attentat du Crocus, la Russie passe au peigne fin tout vol en provenance du Tadjikistan, mais pas seulement. Cela fait 15 ans que ce voyageur tadjik qui a souhaité garder l'anonymat, fait la navette entre les deux pays et il est inquiet : « Dès le mois d'avril, énormément de compagnies volant entre les deux pays ont refusé de prendre des Tadjiks à leur bord. Northwind et Utair par exemple. D'une manière générale, tout trajet est devenu extrêmement compliqué. Il y a eu aussi une période où l'aéroport de Vnukovo à Moscou refusait carrément tout le monde. C'est même arrivé au point où l'ambassadeur de Russie au Tadjikistan a été convoqué par le ministère des Affaires étrangères. »« Ils peuvent nous déporter au pays »Une tension totalement inédite entre deux pays réputés pour entretenir un partenariat sécuritaire particulièrement étroit. Reste que la dépendance économique de Douchanbé vis-à-vis de Moscou est énorme. Le PIB de ce pays très fermé, ultra autoritaire dépend à plus de 40% des transferts des migrants en Russie. Beaucoup ont fui dans les jours qui ont suivi l'attentat comme cet homme qui a lui aussi demandé l'anonymat : « Je travaillais comme livreur, et la police s'était mise à m'arrêter très souvent, deux à trois fois par semaine. Il y avait des barrages de police partout, et ils vérifiaient tout permis de conduire, les passeports, ils prenaient les empreintes. J'avais très peur et je ne voulais pas avoir de problèmes, vous savez, ils peuvent nous déporter au pays et nous interdire de séjour très longtemps. »Pendant ce temps-là en Russie, ils sont nombreux, notamment dans le secteur du bâtiment, à chercher des bras. C'est le cas de ce chef d'équipe tadjik : « J'ai énormément de propositions, mais je n'ai pas assez d'hommes qualifiés, et je n'arrive pas à honorer toutes les commandes pour lesquelles je m'étais engagé. Mes clients sont mécontents, car tous mes chantiers ont pris du retard. Mais qu'est-ce que je peux y faire ? »Parmi les travailleurs toujours autorisés à travailler en Russie, la volonté de retourner pour mieux y gagner sa vie semble intacte, mais ils sont nombreux à dire avoir encore besoin d'être rassurés.

It's no secret that the economies of Central Asian countries like Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan rely heavily on labor migration to stay afloat. In 2022, according to the International Organization for Migration, remittances from Russia accounted for just over half of Tajikistan's GDP, and made up more than 20 percent of the GDPs of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Many of the workers sending these remittances are their families' sole breadwinner — and given the lack of employment opportunities at home, working in Russia is often their best option, even if means dealing with a maze of bureaucracy and relentless discrimination.  The aftermath of last month's terrorist attack in Moscow has brought the xenophobia that Central Asian migrants face in Russia back into the spotlight, with media outlets reporting on a surge in blatant discrimination and, in some cases, targeted violence. Meanwhile, the Russian authorities have launched a renewed crackdown on migrant workers. This is despite the fact that Russia, with its shrinking population and labor shortage made worse by the war, needs migrants to keep its economy functioning. To learn about Russia's migration policy under Vladimir Putin and how the xenophobic backlash to last month's attack has affected ethnic and religious minorities, The Naked Pravda spoke to Moscow Times special correspondent Leyla Latypova; Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center fellow Temur Umarov; and political scientist Caress Schenk, an associate professor at Nazarbayev University. And be sure to check out Temur Umarov's previous appearance on The Naked Pravda: How Russia pressures Central Asian migrants into military service.

"3/22 as Mass Ritual" Pt. III & Pt. IV have crash-landed on the Independent Cork Board Researchers Union Premium Feed. Subscribe now to access both of these incendiary psychogeographies today: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping Pls support the show by rating & reviewing it on yr podcatcher and/or by making a onetime donation to ParaPower Mapping at: Ko-fi.com/parapowermapping In which we pick our comp paranoid analysis of the Crocus terror attack f a l s e flag, the predictive programming of the Nolan film Tenet, and the 9/11 MegaRitual back up. This time out, we're especially focused on conducting a psychogeographic survey of the 9/11 Mass Ritual Altar & the various architectural landmarks that almost act as psychic conductors, charging the symbolical landscape & shocking the American collective unconscious into the War on Terror mindset. Today, we're talking: the possibility the Crocus attack may have set a detachment of Russian naval warships deploying to the Red Sea in motion & may have impacted the recent Iranian strikes against Israel; David Copperfield's Statue of Liberty vanishing illusion as mimetic recreation of the High Priestess card from the Major Arcana of the Tarot, deepening our contention he presaged 9/11; the symbolism of his two scaffolding towers as the pillars Boaz & Jachin from the Temple of Solomon; the androgynous Statue of Libertas as substitute for Lucifer; it's French Freemasonic sculptor Frederic Bartholdi, who seemingly used his insane brother as his model; the startling similarity to Thomas Lawrence's painting "Satan Summoning his Legions" (1797); the fact that both the construction projects for the WTC & the Statue of Liberty were initiated on Aug. 5th, the symbolical heliacal rising of Sirius, Lucifer's star; Blockbuster CEO John Melk's allegation that Copperfield is Mobbed Up (w/ the Russians); we begin to cohere an allegory for the 9/11 - 3/22 continuum where the two, symmetrical "terror attacks", connected across time & space by invisible symbolical, numerological, & material webs, act as two metaphorical Pillars of Boaz & Jachin, perhaps an elaborate capitalist class magical working attempting to reconsolidate & solidify American hegemony & unipolarity through the equilibrating of these two MegaRituals; we also talk 9/11 predictive programming in Back to the Future Pt. II ... (II signifying the #11 & 9/11), including more Tarot symbolism, specifically the presence of the Hanging Man (Falling Man) on the screen (not to mention a mini Statue of Liberty), when the McFly family are staring at a projection of the World Trade Center on their wall; we talk the Millenium Hilton, the Black Mirror or ashlar directly adjacent to Ground Zero, which was apparently patterned after the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey & served as the Black Mirror onto which the tragic scenes were metaphorically projected... yet another encoded prediction of 9/11 by way of its aesthetic allusion to 2001 (directed by Kubrick, who may have been offed for divulging too much in his Masonry, Illuminati, & Bohemian Grove inspired Eyes Wide Shut) & the Millennium in the name. And if you were doubting it, to bring everything together, goes w/out saying that Christopher Nolan, our Crocus programmer & War on Terror propagandist, was indelibly influenced by Kubrick & recently assisted a 70mm restoration of the classic. There's probably something I'm missing, but I reckon that's sufficient as far as the index is concerned. You'll just have to listen & subscribe. And yeah, I'd highly recommend doing that, because if you think this Part is intriguing, all I can say is Part 4 is probably the high watermark of "3/22 as Mass Ritual" so far... Where things really heat up & our Bain-esque interpretation of the Crocus attack opens up by way of monumental doppelgängers & replica towers in an insane way.

Your generous patronage can empower ParaPower Mapping for years to come: patreon.com/ParaPowerMapping Using SK Bain's "The Most Dangerous Book in the World: 9/11 as Mass Ritual" as a kind of critically paranoid grimoire, we survey the strange numerological, mythological, & occult synchronicities mutual to 9/11 & 3/22, not excluding the fact that two of the infamous Bush Crime Family architects of the first were also Bonesmen, and that the latter coincidentally occurred on the same Yale Secret Society's high holy day. I'm talking about Skull & Bones. We begin to splay out some of the evidence I've been compiling in my sus Christopher Nolan dossier, including the fact that his production designer is Aleister Crowley's nephew (lending credence to this notion that the film "Tenet" could be evoking both 9/11 & 3/22, as the 9/11 mass ritual was rich w/ Crowleyian imagery & some would argue functioned, in part, as an homage or invocation of the Beast 666) and we also illustrate Chris Nolan + Nathan Crowley's working relationship w/ under-fire MIC contractor B o e i n g during "Tenet" filming, who loaned them 4 helicopters & sold them a 747 they crashed into the side of a fabricated Oslo Airport (again evoking 9/11). We dig in deep on how "Tenet" was based on the two dimensional acrostic or magic square known as the Sator Square, and that its historical use as a talisman or charm and its numerological properties (which we proceed to locate in various aspects of the Crocus attack) is further evidence supporting this notion that "Tenet" presaged the Crocus attack & that it may even be a televisual component of some sort of mass brainwashing MegaRitual stretching from 9/11 to 3/22—perhaps intended to reify the earlier psyop false flag & the War on Terror that it birthed through Crowley's Law of Reversal. We talk about how the Sator Square is made up of palindromes and how there are exactly 8228 days b/w 9/11 & 3/22, in other words a numerical palindrome, further underlining this idea that the two attacks could combine into a kind of occult palindrome. We talk the material particulars of the Crocus attack: some of the sus inconsistencies like the feeble security presence on the day, the fact that the developer behind the Crocus shopping center & concert hall is an Azerbaijani billionaire Russian oligarch who has acted as the liaison b/w Putin & Trump in the past, and purported crypto payments for the attackers. We begin to parse some of the differing analysis of the deep event... Including the Russian FSB's assertions that it was Western intel & Ukrainian backed and the conflicting claiming of responsibility by ISIS-K, which a Dutch-owned expat paper in Russia and NATO bureaucrats have been repeating ad nauseam. We illustrate just how curious it is that the US Embassy's warned citizens to avoid "concert halls & shopping centers" approx two weeks prior to the attack, a prescient alert that smacks of plausible deniability. And we muse about how the Nolan film "Tenet" is like a recruitment advert or promotional propaganda for an elite secret society w/in Western intelligence that has self-assigned the task of ensuring that history remains on its deterministic rails, and how its celebration of spy agencies combined w/ quasi-Crowleyian occult trappings gives off a distinctly esoteric fascist vibe... A kind of Blavatsky-esque ideology of Chosen One/ Ascended Master supremacy that results in the forming of this shadow bureaucracy that controls the flow of time & a single man assuming the mantle of arbiter of all things.

If there's one thing fascists love it's using the threat of terrorism to rile up their base. The largest terrorist attack in Moscow in decades signals a resurgent ISIS, one that Trump and his MAGA cult will no doubt campaign off of, to “scare out” the vote. (The independent voter needed to win close states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin may not care about Netanyahu's terrorism, only that committed by brown people). How will Trump and his longtime crime-partner Paul Manafort, rumored to officially join the campaign soon (Manafort never left!), capitalize off the growing terror threats, worsened by Trump and Putin ally Netanyahu and his genocidal war to cling to power?   In this week's Gaslit Nation, Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman and analyst Monique Camarra of the Kremlin File podcast join Andrea to discuss the Crocus theater attack in Moscow and why Russia is a favorite target of ISIS, the latest reporting on the Kremlin's Havana Syndrome electronic warfare that has attacked around 1,500 people serving in the U.S. government and their families, and whether Trump will unleash violence if he loses, or wins.     Our bonus episode this week features a debate among Gaslit Nation and Kremlin File over MAGA Ken doll Mike Johnson. Is he actually serious about bringing Ukraine aide up for a vote, or is he stringing us along as ammunition runs dangerously low and more Russian missiles make it through? As Congress comes back into session next week, we discuss all the ways they could actually do something to stop Russia's genocide in Ukraine–a laboratory for Russian aggression that eventually reaches us.

The ladies have possibly their darkest episode to date! No kids for this one you guys (but seriously… trigger warning for cannibalism?!) We start off light with a story that will have you breaking your ankle running to the comments? The yogi burglar that got their vinyasa on before robbing a bakery for some hot cross buns. The ladies then cover the Russian concert hall attack and Russia's next-level response to the terr*rists.  We turn it up with the Yoozoo games executive (Game of Thrones and Three-Body Problem games) and their internal office politics that turned deadly around the water cooler. The ladies finish it up with a story where no one dies (yay!) but there is a big lawsuit at the Hubbard Inn where a TikTok girlie puts the restaurant on blast, just to have not friendly fire returned.

//The Wire//1530Z March 26, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: BALTIMORE BRIDGE COLLAPSES FOLLOWING SHIP COLLISION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Maryland: This morning at approximately 01:30 am, the M/V DALI struck a support pylon for the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing a significant portion of the bridge to collapse. A mass casualty event was declared for the estimated 7 vehicles and 20 construction workers that fell into the water with the bridge, and SAR operations are ongoing as of this report.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: At this time, there is no clear cause for the collision. However, observers noted that the ship appeared to lose power or be experiencing some issue in the seconds before the impact. The DALI is a Maersk-operated cargo vessel flagged in Singapore.As the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse occurred in one of the busiest ports on the east coast, the logistical impacts will almost certainly be significant and immediate. The bridge debris has almost completely cut off the Port of Baltimore to outside traffic for the foreseeable future. Baltimore was one of the top logistical hubs for Roll-on/Roll-off (RORO) vehicle carrying cargo ships. As no cargo vessel can reach the RORO terminal now, these vessels will be required to offload cargo at other ports on the east coast.The unspoken elephant in the room is the question of whether or not the collision of the M/V DALI was intentional, or an accident. The immediate follow-up question is: if this was an intentional act (via a cyberattack of navigation systems, which have been increasingly vulnerable to GPS spoofing and other exploitations), was this a shadow-war retaliation for the Crocus shooting in Moscow? Or was this incident somehow linked to Chinese cyber efforts, which have crippled varying sectors of American infrastructure over the years? These questions cannot be answered at this time, nor are any substantial details expected to be made public due to the very long and in-depth maritime investigation process. However operational prudence would indicate assuming nefarious intent. As such, though the average person cannot prevent any hostile act on critical infrastructure, workers in many career fields absolutely can. Heightened situational awareness is overwhelmingly recommended for personnel working in career fields by which large industrial incidents can disrupt civilization. In a 5th Generation global war, the people that keep society functioning are often the first, and last, line of defense against major incidents like this.For the average citizen, this is a reminder that preparing for mass casualty events at this time of exceptionally heightened international tensions would be a wise move. Bridges, tunnels, railway crossings, road junctions and interchanges, high-rise buildings that are convenient geographic landmarks, submarine cable landing points, POL storage facilities, telecom hubs, electrical substations and power generation facilities, water treatment plants…all of these facets of our society are exceptionally vulnerable to both accidents, and nefarious intent. Planning for either event is a wise move in the event that any malign actors have a “nasty surprise” in mind for the homeland.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

Crocus City Hall, ISIS-K, and Russian retribution

Citizens of the Russian Federation were stunned Friday night by a horrific mass shooting inside Moscow's Crocus concert hall. A group of gunmen randomly shot people outside the theater as they blasted away glass and doors. Once inside the concert hall, the killers shot people at point blank. Authorities say the gunmen fired at least 500 rounds of ammo. The death toll currently stands at 137, including three children. Another 180 people were wounded. An estimated 7500 people attended the concert. The assassins started a fire which quickly spread through the building. Who planned and perpetrated the attack? And what will be Russia's response?Rick Wiles.

//The Wire Weekly Rollup//March 17-23, 2024//-----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Haiti: The situation remains tenuous as violence continues. Evacuation flights continue to be undertaken (mostly by helicopter) as many nations evacuate their citizens from Port-au-Prince.Russia: This week an attack at the Crocus City Hall concert venue in Moscow left an estimated 133 dead, and many others wounded. Most of the assailants were captured alive, and enhanced field interrogation techniques have indicated that the motive for the attack may have been financial rather than ideological.Aside from the terror attack, substantial changes have been observed in Russia on the military front with regards to the conflict in Ukraine. Just a few hours before the Crocus shooting, the Kremlin announced that Russia is shifting to a state of war in Ukraine. AC: Up until this point, Russia has always referred to the conflict in Ukraine as a “Special Military Operation”, stopping short of calling the conflict a “war”.This policy shift also came after Russia conducted a precision strike on the power generation units of the Dnipro Hydroelectric Station, which provides power for the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Station in southeastern Ukraine.Africa: The ruling military council in Niger has announced the cessation of the military agreement allowing American troops to remain stationed in the country. Following the military coup last year, the majority of US involvement in the region was largely confined to what is publicly known as Base 201. This base is a major hub for U.S. operations conducted against ISIS throughout the region. Far East: China continues to make preparations for what is generally recognized as the most likely national objective over the next few years…the reunification of Taiwan. Tensions have been exacerbated following several incidents over the past few weeks. The expansion of American military deployments to Kinmen Island has also worsened relations, along with the typical fishing disputes. However, China also continues to expand influence and control into the more far-flung regions of the Earth. This week, Chinese officials met with Nigerien politicians with the goal of establishing a national railway network throughout Niger. Chinese officials also met with Ismail Haniyeh, a senior Hamas official, marking the first time Chinese representatives have officially met with Hamas since the recent escalation of conflict in Israel.-HomeFront-Arkansas: Bryan Malinowski died of his wounds following being shot by ATF agents during a raid on his home this week. Malinowski was the Executive Director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock. He has been affiliated with the airport in varying capacities for over 30 years, and was appointed to this position in 2019.Washington D.C. – Congress passed the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill.Texas: The border crisis continues as increasingly violent illegal immigrants begin demonstrating more combative behavior towards American military forces defending the border. This week, journalists have been prevented from accessing locations near the border by federal Customs and Border Patrol agents, drawing down the potential locations by which footage can be obtained of the thousands of illegals being trafficked into the United States by federal agents daily.

//The Wire//1700Z March 23, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: U.S. DOJ LAUNCHES NEW RED FLAG PORTAL, CROCUS SHOOTING SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN RUSSIA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Russia: Though details are challenging to verify with any veracity, the death toll following the Crocus terror attack has reportedly risen to over 120. FSB agents have arrested over a dozen suspects in connection with the attack. Almost all of the shooters have been captured alive, and most appear to ethnically be of Tajik descent, or at minimum not ethnically Russian.Far East: Tensions between Taiwan and China have increased slightly above baseline this week following the deployment of American troops to Kinmen Island. The occupation of this observation post, though largely having been an open-secret over the past few years has reignited local tensions and provided another opportunity for escalation.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. – This morning the Department of Justice launched the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center. AC: This is essentially a learning portal intended to share information with local police, medical providers, and informants on how to more effectively confiscate guns and remove rights via red flag laws and other extrajudicial processes.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Though again details are impossible to verify independently, the Russian FSB has released initial field interrogation videos of several of the Crocus shooting suspects taken immediately after arrest. Accounting for the fact that these videos are always taken under a state of duress and probably scripted (or at minimum, rehearsed), all of the shooting suspects indicated they were recruited on Telegram and paid to conduct the attack. Again, it must be stressed that most of these “field interrogations” involve clearly documented cases of torture, so any confessions made aren't very reliable from an intelligence collection standpoint.However, in the interest of expediency being the most effective method of countering runaway theories, this is an important distinction to make as the mainstream media is running with the story that the attackers were ISIS and the attack was carried out for ideological reasons. Considering these very rough initial details, at the very least it would be operationally prudent to remember that none of the other confirmed details of this attack match the typical ISIS attack profile. The assailants surviving the attack alone is a strong indicator of ideology not being the driving factor behind this incident.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

//The Wire//2000Z March 22, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: TERROR ATTACK STRIKES MOSCOW. HOUSE PASSES TRILLION DOLLAR SPENDING BILL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Haiti: Evacuations and repatriation operations continue via a variety of means. Due to the targeting of fixed-wing aircraft in the vicinity of the main airport in Port-au-Prince, and the difficulty in reaching the airport itself, many evacuation efforts are being carried out via helicopter to the neighboring Dominican Republic where the security of additional logistics can be guaranteed.Russia: This evening, at least five gunmen conducted a terror attack at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow, a large public concert venue and theatre. The attack has reportedly left over 40 dead, and hundreds wounded, though these numbers are expected to rise. Following the shooting, the Crocus Hall complex was observed to be on fire. As of this report, hundreds of civilians and victims are reported to still be trapped inside the burning structure.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. – In Congress, the House passed the $1.2 trillion omnibus spending bill this morning. The bill was introduced Thursday night, less than 24 hours before the vote. The bill is over 1,000 pages long. Included in the bill is an additional $300 million for Ukraine and $200 million for the creation of a new FBI headquarters. An extra $1 billion was given to the TSA (in addition to their $10.5 billion funding), specifically for “pay equity investments”.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As the Moscow attack was ongoing, and even before the situation had reached a conclusion, the White House issued a statement that there were no indications that Ukraine was involved, nor did the United States have advance knowledge of this attack. This could be a knee-jerk reaction in order to protect the United States proxy (even without knowing or verifying the facts), or this could suggest knowledge of the incident beforehand. As a reminder, two weeks ago the U.S. State Department (as well as the diplomatic wings of several other European nations) posted very specific warnings via the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, regarding the increased likelihood of terror attacks conducted against soft-targets at public concert venues in Moscow. As evidenced by history, the U.S. DoS has an exceptionally poor ability to assess threats of any kind, much less to specifically outline the exact attack profile used by the terrorists today.Additionally, on the geopolitical front, Russia has officially transitioned into a state of war in Ukraine. Up until this point, Russia has always referred to the combat operations in Ukraine as their “Special Military Operation”, refraining from using the term “war” to describe their military operations. Within hours of this policy shift, the attack was carried out at the Crocus venue. Though obviously many factors must be considered, what is exceptionally clear is the gravity of international atmospherics at this time. As this terror attack is potentially one of the worst in Russian history, careful diplomacy and exceptional tact must be observed by world leaders as international tensions reach exceptionally grave levels of concern.In Congress, the $1.2 trillion spending bill also completely strips funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. As a reminder, UNRWA has been accused of supporting Hamas by Israel. However, no evidence has been provided by Israel to substantiate these claims, leading even FVEYs partners (such as Australia) to press Israel for details of this alleged cooperation, which have gone unanswered. UNRWA is the main aid UN aid group distributing aid (provided by a plethora of nations) and providing medical care in Gaza. The denial of funding, based
