[Rostov] Rostov searchers have begun work at the site of the Nazis' mass murder of children and disabled people
by Dmitry Kutepov
Searchers are conducting reconnaissance at the site of the mass execution of people using special equipment.
In the Aksaysky district of the Rostov region, searchers have begun work in the so-called “execution field,” where the fascists set up a place of genocide against the Donetsk people.
The head of the search group Mius-Front, Andrei Kudryakov, told KP Rostov-on-Don about who might be buried there.
The "Execution Field" is located between Rostov and Novocherkassk, if you drive along the old Rostov road. Now it is the territory of the Aksaysky district.
— It is a terrible place because during the war, many residents of Cossack farmsteads and villages, as well as Novocherkassk, were killed there by the Nazis. It is believed that many of them are buried on this “execution field.”
At that time, there was a deep anti-tank ditch there — one of Rostov's defense lines. Local residents were killed either because of disloyalty or because of violating the Nazi regime. For example, a person could die for appearing on the street during curfew or for not following some order.
EXTRA PEOPLE
— But the most terrible thing was that, according to our assumptions, disabled children from the Novocherkassk boarding school and 95 patients of the Novocherkassk psychiatric hospital are buried there. It is possible that some employees were also killed there.
These murdered children from Novocherkassk became proof of how the Nazi party program of exterminating people with psychological or physical disabilities was implemented. In their view, they were all superfluous people who did not need to be fed, treated, but simply liquidated.
And this fact cannot be forgotten, because completely helpless people were exterminated here. All this speaks of two worldviews. If in Russia special attention was always paid to the mentally ill and children with disabilities, houses were built, they were sent to sanatoriums, they tried to treat them, then in Nazi Germany they were simply exterminated.
But perhaps the most terrible thing, added Andrei Kudryakov, is that this place, comparable in its emotional content to Zmievskaya Balka, has been forgotten by almost everyone in our time.
SCALE UNKNOWN
So, how many people are buried there is still not even approximately known.
— During the occupation of Novocherkassk, 1,070 people were killed. But in the city, burial and execution sites of slightly less than 200 people were found. And how many were killed in the Aksaysky district, in the farmsteads and villages, we still do not know.
In addition, the Germans often intercepted columns of refugees who were trying to escape the occupation and were leaving the territory of Ukraine for Stalingrad.
— That’s why we want to conduct an expedition there to understand at least approximately how many people were killed there. And, of course, to draw attention to this absolutely terrible place.
People's Monument at the Site of the Mass Execution
Now, the only reminder that the field was a place of mass execution of people is a public monument.
— There is a plaque on it: “Galushkina E.F., brutally tortured by the Gestapo on January 9, 1943. Sleep, dear mother. From her husband and daughter.”
We don’t know who this woman is yet, but we are trying to find her relatives and friends to find out her fate and why she ended up in the Gestapo. So far we know that the Novocherkassk Gestapo was exterminating members of the anti-fascist movement. Perhaps she belonged to one of the underground cells.
In the meantime, searchers are conducting reconnaissance at the site of the shootings, using geomagnetic devices for this purpose. In this way, they plan to establish the approximate location where human remains are located in the ground.
— Then we will resolve the issue with the owner of the land, a local farmer, about the time when we can begin excavations at this site.
There are currently arable fields there. But what exactly will happen in place of the "execution field" is still unknown.
- It depends on the consciousness of our society. For now, this national monument is maintained only at the expense of local residents, the same farmer, residents of the Aksaysky district and Novocherkassk.
At the same time, Andrei Kudryakov assured that this place will definitely be included in the excursion route to the sites of the genocide of the civilian population of the Rostov region, which is being conducted by the search teams of the Mius-Front.
[YouTube] Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at an alarming situation regarding a supply chain attack that led to a few pagers quite literally popping off. How does anyone concoct such a complicated plan? Let's find out!

Walt (3dc) and I discussed this on Facebook Messenger:
I think the PETN was ignited when the Israelis sent a worm/virus to the pager exploiting a flaw in the remote charging feature of the pager, sparking an electrical charge strong enough to detonate the explosive.

Many IED's in Iraq and Afghaniztan were set off remotely via cell phone calls. When the target vehicle reached a certain place in the road (visible from a safe distance), the bad guys punched in the call. The ring on the second phone set off the charge. Similar principal to pager bombs. Remote detonation.
A new, updated twist on Viet era Project Eldest Son. Similar electronic satellite tracking technologies were used effectively in Afghanistan. If it emits a signal, it can be monitored from space. These explodie pagers appeared to be loaded with secondary explodie number.
(Graphic depicts remote, acoustic sensor ground monitoring device dropped along the Ho Chi Minh trail in Vietnam. Some trail sensors were emplaced or re-emplaced 'by hand' via very brave fellows who parachuted in and exfiltrated by walking South).

If I get a new phone, I’m going to immediately go to a Browns game and pet the canine to see if he alerts on me. I will wear my Bean boots as a precaution.

The internet says that if you put your phone in a bag of rice for 8 hours, it can’t explode so I’m going with that plan. Also don’t eat the rice.

[REGNUM] While many were afraid of nuclear war and nuclear explosions that would radically change life on Earth, other explosions happened - much smaller in scale. But they will certainly change our usual life, forcing us to take a different look at ordinary smartphones and other technology around us.
On September 17, panic gripped Lebanon. A wave of explosions of pagers, seemingly long-forgotten communication devices popular before the advent of smartphones, swept through parts of the country, including the capital Beirut.
In some places the explosions resembled machine gun fire - there were so many of them.
By evening, the country's hospitals were filled with maimed people with mine-blast injuries to their legs, arms, stomachs and chests. Many had their eyes gouged out and their faces mangled. Iran's ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was also wounded.
Hezbollah's leadership forbade party members from using mobile phones for fear of Israeli interception, so they used pagers that were not connected to the Internet.
Before the explosion, a message in Arabic was sent to the device. People tried to read it by holding the device to their faces. In total, more than 2.3 thousand people were injured on September 17, about 500 lost their sight. 16 people died.
Western media, including the British The Guardian, were quick to state that the attack targeted the leadership and members of the militant wing of the Hezbollah party. However, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry, only nine of the victims were members of the party. The victims were mostly random people, including four children.
It quickly became clear that the pagers that exploded were the Gold AP-900 model, manufactured by the Taiwanese firm Gold Apollo. They were sold in Lebanon for $180.
EVERYTHING EXPLODED
The shock of what had happened had not yet passed, when another blow followed. Already on September 18, a second wave of explosions rolled in. This time, not only pagers began to explode in Lebanon, but also laptops, smartphones, door locks with fingerprint devices, car radios, solar panels, household appliances and even scooters.
Goodness — those Mossad and Unit 8200 types sure are thorough.
But the devices that exploded most often were portable radios from the Japanese company ICOM, which served as backup communications devices for Hezbollah members. One of the explosions occurred at the funeral of the son of Hezbollah MP Ali Ammar, who had died the day before.
According to the Lebanese Health Ministry, up to 25 people were killed and 708 were injured as a result of the second wave of explosions. The total number of victims of the sabotage, according to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nusrallah, exceeded 4,000, of whom up to 40 people were killed.
Israel's national intelligence service, Mossad, planted a small amount of explosives in 5,000 devices ordered by Hezbollah members several months before the blasts, a Reuters source said.
Israeli intelligence services have carried out similar terrorist attacks before. A number of Palestinian and Iranian leaders were killed by explosions of miniature devices embedded in mobile phones. Similar assassinations were also organized by Ukrainian intelligence services. In particular, the former head of the LPR customs committee, Yuri Afanasyevsky, was wounded with a mined smartphone.
But this time the action was much larger-scale. At the same time, the cynicism of the organizers of the terrorist attack is striking: in order to hit several dozen real targets, they easily resorted to "collateral damage", killing and maiming thousands of civilians, including children.
WE WAITED FOR OUR MOMENT FOR 15 YEARS
With its actions, Israel is opening Pandora's box. Apparently, the idea of using gadgets to attack the enemy en masse will spread.
The idea is easy. The execution is much more difficult.
Something similar has already happened with drones. At first, they were a funny device used for video shooting from above, but soon someone decided to try dropping a grenade from a drone. It worked. In a few years, it became a mass military technology.
But, in addition to purely military ones, the explosions in Lebanon also highlighted a simple everyday question: are the numerous household devices that we surround ourselves with in everyday life safe? Is it possible to remotely blow up, for example, a smartphone? Yes, it is quite possible, answers the general designer of the company "Voenform-design" Yaroslav Safonov to the IA Regnum.
According to him, the features of the most common batteries - lithium-ion batteries - can be used for this purpose. During the first charge at the manufacturing plant, a protective ion-conducting layer formed from decomposed electrolyte is formed on the batteries. The barrier protects the electrodes from unacceptable reactions with the electrolyte. But if the barrier is broken, a fairly violent thermal reaction can occur. Simply put, the battery will catch fire.
"Most often, such a reaction can occur in the case of mechanical damage. For example, if you pierce the battery with a sharp object, " says Safonov. "But you can also achieve a similar effect by heating the battery by sending a specific command to the device."
At the same time, judging by the footage from Lebanon, a more powerful detonation occurred there, the interlocutor of IA Regnum continues. According to him, with a normal bang of such a device, the most that can happen is a burn of the hand or thigh, if the device was in the pocket. Here, however, we see much more serious damage, which usually occurs when explosives are detonated, for example, plastic explosives.
"I can assume that the organizers of the sabotage in Lebanon did exactly that. They placed a small amount of plastic explosive (or other similar explosive) in the area of the device's board in factory conditions. They didn't need much - 20-30 grams would have been enough. And at the right moment, a signal was sent to the device, which led to the explosion."
Many experts in the field of electronic devices are inclined to the same conclusion. In turn, the ABC-News publication, citing a source in American intelligence, reported that large-scale sabotage in Lebanon began to be prepared by Israeli special services after the end of the unsuccessful operation against Hezbollah in 2006. This idea is suggested by the simultaneous detonation in Lebanon of five hundred portable radio stations icom v82 of the Japanese company ICOM, long out of production. Presumably, the devices were mined in factory conditions at least 15 years ago. All this time they were waiting for their time, regularly performing their basic functions.
BOMB NEAR THE HEAD
However, it does not matter how exactly the explosives were placed in the devices. The main thing is that they have not been detected for many years. Apparently, the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, who was injured in the explosion, has undergone many times the control of scanning explosives, but the control did not reveal anything. This means that there is already a technology for the production and "packaging" of explosives that bypasses the means of control. And this threatens many processes in modern life.
The most obvious area is civil aviation. Potential terrorists could theoretically bring mined gadgets onto planes and blow them up. To prevent this, all equipment will be carefully inspected and, if there is any suspicion, confiscated. The same thing could happen in any crowded places.
But even if a person does not plan terrorist attacks, can he be sure of the reliability of his gadgets? Obviously not. It is enough to look at how many smartphones and other equipment are sold on the secondary market. But what if a second-hand phone was intended for a person who was to be liquidated? How can you find out what batch it is from and where exactly it was manufactured?
But it's not just smartphones that can explode. After the explosions in Lebanon, experts advise being very careful with electronic cigarettes and vapes. Firstly, they have batteries. Secondly, the liquid for them can be poisoned in advance if you really want to. Thirdly, when smoking ("vaping"), the device is near your head.
After what happened in Lebanon, any technology becomes a source of threat. Consequently, control measures over it will be tightened, new restrictions and prohibitions will appear. And people, it seems, will stop laughing at those who are cautious about new technologies and do not hang themselves in “smart” devices from head to toe — from electronic watches and “smart rings” to virtual reality helmets.
A US nickle weighs five grams. 454 grams to a pound, so 30 grams is about... one ounce.
But it seems like five nickles would take a lot of space.

28 grams equals one ounce, Bobby. That’s the conversion I use for baking. Weighing ingredients gives more consistent results, because the same weight might be packed more or less tightly, meaning the same volume might contain as much as 25% more.
i saw photos yesterday that showed the space filled with ball bearings as well as explosive, thought that may have been speculative rather than of one that didn’t kaboom.

Countermeasures:
Step 1 - Immediately upgrade to a Palm Pilot. Hopefully, one is available that includes Solitaire and Mine Hunt.
Step 2 - Don’t piss off Mossad unless you have a terminal disease that reduces your expected life span to less than 10 years. Consider the fact that your terminal disease may mean that you already pissed off Mossad.
Step 3 - There is no Step 3.

The victims were mostly random people,
Just random people. One here, two there. A whole *bleep*load down the way. Just random. Still, you can't help but wonder if they had something in common, something besides a fondness for retro comms.
*whine* I miss my PalmPilots. I was a late adopter — a hand-me-down from Mr. Wife when his company upgraded him — but being able to share calendars with Mr. Wife was life-changing. The iPhone is barely acceptable in comparison.
