Session 27 September 2025

Maintain a low profile. Case in point - they have ways to get to you:

Former Syrian president Bashar Assad 'is hospitalised by poisoning assassination attempt', respected rights group says
Reports have emerged of an attempted assassination of ex-Syrian president Bashar al-Assad in Moscow.

The former dictator was granted political asylum in Russia after he was deposed ten months ago.

Respected rights group, The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, claimed - citing a 'private source' - that Assad was released from hospital on the outskirts of Moscow on Monday.

The source claimed that Assad 'had been poisoned' and that the motive behind the assassination operation was 'to embarrass the Russian government and accuse it of being complicit' in his death.

The report said Assad’s condition was now 'stable'.
 
Wondering if this is just another odd instance of pilot error or something other - part of the "stranger than you can imagine" warning:

Two Delta Planes Absolutely Smash into Each Other at LaGuardia Airport In New York City (VIDEO)
As The New York Post reported, two Delta jets “absolutely smashed” into each other on the runway at LaGuardia Airport, destroying one plane’s nose and tearing off a massive part of a wing.

What's curious is this passenger observation:
Another passenger, William Lusk, explained to ABC that the plane that had landed “stopped, jerked, and jumped to the right.”

Do planes normally jump?
 
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is not a credible source. CIA -created group. Excuse me if I'm just a tad skeptical.
I saw it was reported on the Daily Mail, so took it to be legit. But, as you say, the actual source is suspect.

As I've said before, it's an informational minefield out there and very hard to accurately navigate. And thus, the beauty of a Network! :-D
 
Excuse me if I'm just a tad skeptical.

My bad - I fell for the supposed legit news site without really reading the whole article. Two sentences stand out:

The Russian government has not to date commented on the claims.
There is so far no independent evidence of Assad’s poisoning.

:-[ Look before you leap! Look before you leap! (repeat 50 times and maybe it will stick).
 
FLASHBACK—FWIW

What Happened During WWI

Gurdjieff was based in Russia and the Caucasus during the early 1910s.

• As war broke out and the Russian Revolution followed, he moved his group multiple times to avoid political and military upheaval.

He operated under the radar, often in remote or rural locations, including Tiflis (now Tbilisi, Georgia) and later Constantinople (Istanbul).

• His group—sometimes called the Seekers of the Truth—was small, secretive, and focused on esoteric practices, which made it easier to stay hidden.

Why He Hid the School

• Gurdjieff believed his teachings were dangerous if misunderstood, and the political climate was hostile to anything mystical or nonconformist.

• He feared persecution from both Bolsheviks and reactionary forces.

• His methods involved intense psychological work, physical discipline, and symbolic rituals—easily misinterpreted as subversive.

Post-War Migration

• After WWI, Gurdjieff relocated to France, where he founded the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in Fontainebleau in 1922.
• Many of his early followers, including P.D. Ouspensky, helped spread his teachings in Europe and later in the U.S.
 
It would need some sort of a projectile if there's an exit wound (and probably an entry wound too close to where the item was on his body). The charge would not need to be that large if the projectile was very close to his body because it doesn't need to go that far.

We heard a gun shot, so I'm not sure if there was a gun anywhere taking a shot with a real bullet. They obviously had to simulate a shooting, but a real bullet couldn't turn up otherwise that would be confusing.... and over kill.
A properly shaped charge would pass right through his neck expanding on the way. No projectile needed. I am not saying there wasn't a projectile, but if the "shot" came from the microphone attached to him, then it didn't need one and furthermore the risk of that projectile hitting the man asking the questions (Zin) would have been a problem.
