***Beren One Hand and Luthien Tinuviel.
The Fall of Gondolin***

Yep! And an Elven prince (Glorfindel?) killed a Balrog during the fall of Gondolin!

The First Age is a wonderful library of marvelous tales! And on Tolkien's grave stone he had embossed Beren and Luthien for himself and his wife!

And in the killing, did Glorfindel fall.

Only to reappear in The Fellowship of the Ring to save those hairy footed halflings.

Reconcile.

Pinging the this/n/that list (freepmail to get on/off). Some from Aug 29, neglected to send, some of the Intel Slava from today. About the nuke plant the Ukros are trying to harm.

Two Ukrainian Su-25 aircraft were shot down in the Zaporozhye region and the DPR yesterday: Russian Defense Ministry
Peskov: Russia guarantees the safety of IAEA experts when moving around the territory under its control near the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

According to him, IAEA experts will arrive at the station through the territory controlled by Ukraine. The presidential press secretary also stressed that Russia is interested in the IAEA mission

The IAEA mission headed by the Agency Director General Rafael Grossi is on its way to the Zaporizhzhya NPP - Mikhail Ulyanov, Permanent Representative of Russia to International Organizations in Vienna.

The Director General of the IAEA intends to leave several people at the Zaporozhye NPP on a permanent basis, Ulyanov added.

He also said that the mission leaving for the station includes about a dozen employees of the IAEA secretariat involved in nuclear security, with a large team of UN logistics and security staff.

If the IAEA does not conclude that Russia is violating nuclear protocols, Russia will put the world at risk of a nuclear catastrophe - Ukrainian Foreign Minister

New footage of a downed Ukrainian kamikaze drone that tried to attack the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant

As previously reported, the downed drone fell on the roof of the special building of the nuclear power plant. After the impact, the wearable charge detonated, but sources in the city administration report that there are no infrastructure damage and no human casualties.

The intended target of the drone was a storage facility for spent nuclear fuel.

Mission of IAEA specialists to Zaporozhye NPP will last from August 31 to September 3 - The Wall Street Journal, citing internal Ukrainian documents

We will address some common misconceptions we noticed:

- Zaporozhie: The city is not under Russian Armed Forces control, only the nuclear power plant is — which carries the same name. (And its surroundings)

- HIMARS: there’s no such thing as a a “HIMARS type shell”, they’re just normal guided MLRS shells. There’s nothing special about the shell that makes it difficult to intercept. All MLRS are notoriously difficult to intercept due to the nature of their trajectory/approach to target.

- Russia is cut off from supplies in Kherson: — no. Russia is not Ukraine. You can’t completely cut them off from supplies. They don’t exclusively rely on land bridges like Ukraine does. They put down their own pontoon bridges when needed, they can also air lift equipment if necessary. It’s not an ideal situation but it’s not an isolating situation to them. Kherson can always be re-supplied through Crimea. This is the sole reason Russia rushed there in initial days, it’s strategically very important to control that border.

- Ukrainian command: there’s no such thing. NATO controls the war and the strategy. NATO advisors, NATO orders and NATO weapons, ex-NATO military personnel: from troops to officers are on the frontlines. This is not by coincidence.

- Arms control deal between Russia and US: such deals require trust. Russia does not trust the west anymore. They have publicly stated that. Therefore, the chances of a deal on arms control between the two countries are very, very slim.

- Kharkov is getting hit but no action— these statements are simply clueless. People do not realize the scale of this war. The equipment and fortifications are insane. This has never happened in history, positions with such fortifications have not been observed in any war in the past. It takes pounding and pounding and pounding before the city is strategically weakened. Every hit costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, we can assure you that they’re all strategically dismantling Ukrainian positions. Kharkov is huge, it is crawling with Ukrainian troops and equipment.

Aug 31 on Intel Slava:
Operative video of the detention of Ukrainian terrorists who were preparing terrorist attacks in Energodar and at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. Together with the terrorists, a solid arsenal was captured.

The convoy of the IAEA mission left Kyiv and headed towards the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, Reuters reported.
The IAEA mission arrived in city of Zaporozhye - Reuters
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi, upon arrival in the city of Zaporozhye, expressed confidence that the mission could be carried out safely, NBC News reports.

Kash Patel talking with Tucker, video can be watched by anyone:

“This entire raid on his house, I believe, was to prevent the disclosure - now that the government gangsters are back in charge - of their corrupt activities from Russiagate on down, because now that they have an open counterintelligence investigation they will shield any release of documents because they will say we have an open investigation.”

Good for them.

But how are they gonna stop John Durham?

Video of Kash Patel with Seb. Gorka, anyone can watch:
Look at that reaction from Kash when news breaks that Special Agent Tim Thibault was escorted from FBI Headquarters 😮

Kash on Thibault: “Thibault is a perfect example of a guy who repeatedly got promoted for running and working on corrupt prosecutions and investigations: Russiagate, Hillarygate, Hunter Biden laptop, Whitmer. This guy was promoted into superior positions for failing to do his job. But worse, probably intentionally lying and breaking the law.”
