A major Russian media source that has provided key coverage of the conflict in Georgia has claimed that its website has come under a heavy bombardment of cyber attacks from an IP address registered to the Georgian capital.
A statement from the Russia Today website reads:
In the course of the last 24 hours RT’s website (www.russiatoday.com) has endured numerous DDoS attacks, which have made it unavailable for some time. Channel’s security specialists say the initial attack was carried out from an IP-address registered in the Georgian capital Tbilisi. RT’s team apologizes for the inconvenience and gives a list of comprehensive external resources on the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict which can be used, should the attacks continue.
The news comes hours after the Georgian government claimed its websites were being attacked by the Russian military in a cyber warfare campaign.

Sarkozy and Medvedev doing the freemason-handshake?
Go to:
http://msn.kauppalehti.fi/inde.....mp;ext=msn
and scroll down a little – small picture in a red box. It’s an add/link to a Finnish news website, yet that specific picture can be found in this add only, not in the story.
Another photo I found at
http://www.usatoday.com/travel.....=000000000
but that picture isn’t as clear in terms of how the thumb is placed.
Anyone seen a video clip – or better photos of the meeting?

Hey, GUYS AT LANGLEY, yea you, reading this; the FSB isnt going to like you hacking sites in their country.

Ahh most of you dopes are just hoping a Russia vs. US conflict will get you a increase in your pay.

Since america’s recent moral shift from being strongly against torture to being pro torture I have been wondering what happens when you torture an innocent person or someone with no information. What might be the consequences for torturing imprisoning or killing innocent persons? Is it ok to psychologically torture a person out of their mind? Who thinks it’s ok to rob a person of their most precious gifts. We should all learn from the examples and experiments done in the past like the stanford prison experiment and the abu graib scandal.Many excuse and rationalize their behaviour saying I had to or I was just following orders. At what point if any do you disobey orders? There is a reason the United states and many other countries have signed treaties and conventions agreeing not to torture. Now why do they openly violate the treaties they once upheld? Recently the International Red Cross declared the United states guilty of human rights violations and war crimes. What now seperates us from other countries? Maybe we will return to the days of public lynchings or hangings. Personally I do not want to live in a sadistic lawless society.

well… as far as you conspiracy theorists should concern yourself…
This “major Russian media source that has provided key coverage ” is actually major Russian propaganda machine that shows 24/7 nothin but pro Russian news and “news” coverage. So I support those hackers!
Everything it shows is one sided and full of lies. But of course, you know better…
Still you, Alex Jones have forgotten, that Russia, same as US, used to be and still is an empire who conquers and rules regardless of civilian rights.
You say that you have a fascism ir USA. It perhaps might be so, BUT there is extremely nationalistic authoritarian regime in Russia AT THE MOMENT without any secrecy or conspiracy. You kinda havent seen it, if you say, that poor Russia is attacked by conspiracy backed by evil US.
I, from info I have seen and read, believe that this conflict was planned long time ago, but not by Georgia, but russia. They provoked georgian’s few times last month by shooting down their unmanned spying plane and dropping bomb, that didnt explode on their soil. And georgian invasion started only after 2days of unrest in S-Ossetia and attacks on georgian troops near borders.
Russia had no rights to attack this sovereign country. And all this ‘genocide’ and ‘ethnic cleansing’ is bullshit. Civilians die in war. Russias bombings have killed many civs too.
And Russia has never cared about anyone’s interests but their own. Look at Chechnya! Russians were in truth making genocide there… How dare they accuse someone else doing this and not condemning themselves?

Time to cut off the internet to the georgian capital
August 12th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
I think Eastern Europeein’ will be singing a different tune if the US becomes a military dictatorship sponsoring even more terror.
August 12th, 2008 at 12:46 pm
JEH, USA is already “military dictatorship sponsoring even more terror” there was more freedom and less fear of police in Poland under communist dictatorship than in todays USA. Even communist secret police was not beating peoples in public or attack bikers on street
Still …. do not be fooled by Russia. Its same old Soviet Union but right now they busy making oil money. When they done … we will be fucked.
August 12th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Brian Peppers, many Americans was fooled by Russian propaganda before. In times of great depression many workers believed that in Russia workers have milk and honey and just after arriving to Russia they was relocated to gulags. So … good luck on you Georgian killing mission.

I’ve been so confused over this whole thing.
One minute I’m on Georgia’s side
The next minute I’m on Russia’s
Thank you John McCain, You have spoken for me: McCain says all Americans are back Georgia in struggle
So much for freedom of choice/democracy in America, we now have a guy who dictates (thats a pun on dictator) what I think
August 12th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Many a parent have had their children get into fights with one another. Often, the parent doesn’t have to choose sides because the fighting was uncalled for. Why do we have to choose sides? Maybe both were wrong in their own way. Ever think of that John John???
August 12th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
The propaganda and information warfare conducted during this Georgia event have been very sophisticated.
August 12th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
I need an aspirin, I have a headache over this propoganda war. Let me reach for some aspirins from the Schiff drug company. I hope those Schiffs aren’t related to the ones that allegedly help fund the Bolshevick Revolution via Trotsky and Company.
August 12th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Al Gore??? Al Gore, can you clear this up for us? After all, you have a son-in-law from the Schiff family. Please help us decipher this mess, if you can get your head out of the global warming clouds……..

This entire horror in Georgia is a NeoCon World Federalist/Israeli planned operation to back Russia up from the pipeline right of way across Georgia. That pipeline does not pass through South Ossetia; at its closest point it is 55 Klicks away.
The Zionist Neocon Globalists at CNN have tried to convince American Sheeple that Russia started this.
Not a chance.
Russia did not start this…but they will end it.
Yet another armored division has entered South Ossetia to push out the Georgian Army, led by US and Israeli Jew advisors. Russian armor and troops have also flooded into the other breakaway region of Abkhasia.
Many of BBC’s reporters are starting to ask the hard questions and the pathetic answers, or no answer, are beginning to show.
August 12th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
woah… russia didn’t start it? dude, they’ve started gathering troops near georgian border a whole month before the war. they’ve managed to send a shitload of soldiers right after the decleration of war. also see when they did it. when the olympic games stared, so other countries had hard time to respond to it.
russian goverment is made of hardcore former KGB agents, just look what prime minister Putin did 20 years ago. they are worser then gov’ in USA. much worser. they don’t hide with their methods. they don’t care about public relation, russians are taught to love their strong government. we poles know how they do this kind of shit in russia, and it’s not nice.
right now russia with a shitload of false flag operations is trying to do the same thing they did in chechenya. sad thing is that soon everyone will magically forget about georgia, like everyone did with chechenya, and russia will have another place to train their troppers to be hardocre, badass killing machines.
August 12th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
don’t belive anything that comes from russia. every official news is a lie.
also they’ve started this war to get their hands on the pipeline to fully control energy distribution in Europe. period.
August 12th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
Amorite! Go to therealnews.com and watch the story “Who’s to Blame for the Russian Georgian Conflict”.
The Russian government may be shitty, but the present US government is at least as bad. In a case like this you should look at the facts to discern the truth. In reality, sometimes there are no good guys.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:10 am
Eastern european – “Look at Chechnya!”
I believe you need to look a bit deeper there as it was a handful of terrorists backed by the west that started the whole shit there as well.
Some articles on that specific issue worth reading can be found at http://www.larouchepac.com/sea.....x_form#975
Just like in the Balkans or in Afganistan an opposition was created out of nothing – local – or even “imported” low-life criminals were hired to create chaos – and they managed to do just that.
It’s amazing how you can find such scum in every corner of the world – then again you don’t really need an army to start “civil wars” – a small, CIA-MI6-Mossad-trained terrorist group co-operating with a small group of corrupt politicians is usually enough to start the fire.
See, chaos is a lot easier to create – and to maintain – than balance. Divide and rule – order out of chaos – the new world order. That’s what it’s all about.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:17 am
i’m not defending anyone. i’m just saying that US governemnt is not the only evil one on this planet. to my konwledge russian governmnt is much worser.
i’ve watched that vid, and i must say that changes things. my guess is that russia wanted to invade georgia [they've started to move their troops at the beginning of the july], to get their hands on the pipeline, but georgian president attacked first, so the USA had to help them. or maybe that move was ordered by the washington, as some american euipment and personel was found among the dead.
either way, the cold war never ended. it just became more secret.
August 13th, 2008 at 2:18 am
Amorite – the russians have to keep moving their troops around simply for it’s the biggest country out there. Now, if their intelligence finds out that something might be going on in any of those CIA-controlled countries around Russia – Georgia included – they’ll naturally try to make sure that at least no major surprises happen. That’s at least how I see it.
August 13th, 2008 at 3:06 am
Gus – “Go to therealnews.com and watch the story “Who’s to Blame for the Russian Georgian Conflict”.”
It made me laugh! It simply copies opinion that circulates all Russian mainstream media and says it is truth. It is only their view NOT the truth. And yes, russiean media as well as cnn and bbc is FULL OF LIES! For example – IF there was a genocide with 2000 dead… why there are NO photos proving it?!?!?!?!
fazi from poland said:
“many Americans was fooled by Russian propaganda before. In times of great depression many workers believed that in Russia workers have milk and honey and just after arriving to Russia they was relocated to gulags.”
and they still are fooled.

RIA Novosti was also hit with cyber attacks on the same day.
http://en.rian.ru/russia/20080810/115936419.html
Secondly, whats wrong with you people. Do you even read foreign news? If you think Russian is bad, what about Asian News? Baltic news?
They are all saying the same thing.
Georgia attacked. Killed civilians. Tortured women and girls (mutilated their genitals), dead elderly and children and people BURIED ALIVE in MASS GRAVES. Russia steps over the border to control an incursion, which they do with ease. Then Saakashvilli acts innocent, our media naturally fools pretty much everyone, and now morons everywhere think Russia attacked Georgia for no reason..
Why don’t you translate some Russia blogs? They are talking about Ukraine and Baltic mercenearies being brought in on the side of Georgia..not to mention the fact that they are completely disgusted by the pathetic actions of Americans who think Russia started this..they are completely freaking out about American polls where 70% of people think “it’s an act of war ” on the part of the Russians.
Pathetic.
August 13th, 2008 at 7:11 am
You want some pictures of dead bodies? Will that prove it you self-assured know-it-alls?
Here ya go: ENJOY!!!
http://russianossetia.wordpress.com/2008/08/
The Russians and the Ossetians are never going to forget this stuff. They are talking really inflammatory against the U.S…becasue they are not completely stupid, they understand Saakashvilli is a US puppet (not NEOCON) and that this was an aggressive action on their parts. Hey…they are also using banned cluster bombs.
August 13th, 2008 at 8:14 am
JOSH DEAVER
Baltic news by the way says Russia is agressor
so dont lie. and I didnt see ANY proof in website which link you provided that there was a genocide. Proof would be a masses of dead bodies (2000dead!!). But there is none. Yes there are victims from attacks but civilians are killed by both russian ‘peacekeepers’ and georgians. NO mass killings shown jet.
The cluster bomb ‘proof’ is THE funniest picture I have seen – THER’S NOTHING INIT!!!
“dead elderly and children and people BURIED ALIVE in MASS GRAVES”
where bloody hell are they?!?! why no proof?!?!?! such words without ANY proof are horrible lies!
August 13th, 2008 at 9:29 am
I know you have some sort of psychological compunction, being an Eastern European, against Russia.. But just because there aren’t 2,000 individual Polaroids of dead bodies delivered to your front door doesn’t mean there isn’t a genocide going on.
here’s some more videos, pictures of bodies and the news story (from novosti) that talks about mass graves.

You can’t just say it’s a lie because there isn’t CNN cameras uncovering bodies and telling you it happened. GET REAL!!
That took 10 minutes of google searches…try research sometime instead of relying on your personal opinions to determine what (you think) happened.
And I think there is more than 1 Baltic paper…but your the expert…you tell me.
August 13th, 2008 at 10:36 am
Yes there are two kinds of mass media in Baltics – pro-Russian (in russian) and less or more independent in native languages.
watched and read your links…
yes… these people TALK… and talk a lot… “bodies everywhere”, “church burned with people inside”, “a0 villages totally leveled” BUT… why o why there are no pictures? if killed – a lot of bodies still remain… if leveled – ruins…where o where are they?!?!
dead people and destroyed buildings – its normal in war… shooting and bombing too, but it is done not only by Georgians but Russians and Ossetians too… but no proof of your genocide still…
by the way… wasnt Tskhinval “totally leveled” in Georgian attack as russian media said?!?! in your link I can still see a lot of housing… damaged jet not even close to leveled… hmm… lies? conspiracies? maybe open your eyes and look at your links again. you take all that is written and said there as fact, jet… i do not trust media. and i absolutely do not trust russian media.

I have feeling that “Eastern european” is a disinfo agent. Don’t feed him.

August 13th, 2008 at 11:32 am
yes most likely but he seems truly unaware that this is what they want people to believe, some will not see this because to them “our gov. and media would never do anything to hurt any one”
and thats aload crap, Eastern european “WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE” totally leveled also means unlivable. look at the buildings again and tell us all here how most of those buildings can be lived in.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
“our gov. and media would never do anything to hurt any one”
have I ever said that?
“look at the buildings again and tell us all here how most of those buildings can be lived in.”
I’m not saying that.
I’m saying russia and it’s media is lying about genocide. Which, I believe you know, is something else than unlivable buildings… Without totally leveled buildings there cannot be thousands of buried victims ergo no ‘genocide’. Knowing russian propaganda such photos would bee used everywhere. Absence of them proofs their lies.
Jet – I admit that Georgians are lying in this war too. By the way all media is using everything shocking and horrifying there is and even might be to get more viewers, readers etc.
And I admit that attacking civilian area with “Grad” rocket launchers is not the best idea.
Jet you people are saying poor, poor russia. Poor poor truth, witch is everything russia says.
