Effingham deputies call feds after arresting Russians with shovel, wire cutters outside Georgia Power plant
by Evgeniy Luzhetskiy
SPRINGFIELD — Effingham County sheriff deputies have reported the early Sunday morning arrest of three men to the federal Joint Terrorism Task Force.
The men, two from Russia and one from Kazakhstan, were found near Georgia Power’s Plant McIntosh on Old Augusta Road about 1 a.m. Sunday after a ranger with the Department of Natural Resources reported a suspicious vehicle, Effingham County sheriff’s spokesman David Ehsanipoor said.
Deputies reported the men, who were inside a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder, had a machete, shovel, wire cutters and ski masks. One man also had black silk stockings in his front left pocket.
Arrested were Evgeniy Luzhetskiy, of Kazakhastan Nail Idiatullin and Rustem Ibragimov of Russia. All three reported they lived in Charleston, S.C., deputies reported.
The men were all charged with possession of tools during the commission of a crime.
The three were released after being interviewed by task force members, Ehsanipoor said.
"They did all have visas that allowed them to be here and are supposed to be leaving the country soon."

By karkas1 | 09/10/10 - 07:47 pm these people are not amish also there are not jews Their ethnic background is one Russian, possibly Christian, and two others Russian Caucasians, possibly Muslims; however this background stuff does not matter, because their true religion is Communism and ethnically there are Marxists - these people don't have motherland, but there are willing to possess the whole Earth. And America is the only country which is an obstacle on their way; so tehre are ready for everything to ruin it.
By karkas1 | 09/10/10 - 07:40 pm You just caught three very dangerous Russian diversants and you are going to let them go?! Do you know what will happen next? Let me explain you. Their bosses back in Moscow will see that it is totally OK to send their agents to the US to set up various attacks against Americans. In case if these agents are caught, there is no punishment for them and in the worst case these agents will be sent back home, as it was done a couple of months ago to the guys from a spy ring, and as it is going to be done now. It means, that in the future you will have to expect tens of thousands of Russians who will be setting up various diversions on you sensitive objects, and even if catch some of them, others will do the job! If you want my advise what to do with these guys - here it is: put them to jail for at least 10 years. Next time they should be scared to go to America with bad intentions. Yet, BTW, Russians will respect you more.

Setting up one of these devices is complicated. The bombs need a small amount of power to keep them safely in storage. For example, the GRU specialist might have to run a very small wire to an electrical source, such as a power wire, and then attach it to the weapon. The wires can be run as far as one hundred yards or more from the weapon. The wires are small enough that they would easily break if someone tampered with them or tried to follow them to their source. In case there is a loss of power, there is a battery
Nuclear devices can also be slipped across the Mexican or Canadian borders. It is easy to get a bomb to Cuba and from there transport it to Mexico. Usually the devices are carried by a Russian intelligence officer or a trusted agent. If a Russian intelligence officer was for some reason not involved, the human missile transporting the device would be killed after safely handing it over to a GRU specialist. This is a simple security precaution.

2. Spetsnaz fighting shovel.
http://militaryanalysis.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
The common Soviet/Russian entrenching tool. Sharp on three sides, a single monolithic object, unlike the current American entrenching tool. Used by Spetsnaz soldiers as a fighting weapon, silent, and in the right hands, downright deadly.
"In a combat training of Spetsnaz soldiers a great attention is paid to their ability to engage in hand-to-hand combat and to use hand-held weapon . . . an entrenching shovel is of special importance . . . it is a formidable weapon of the close combat."
"the entrenching shovel is an excellent throwing implement - the range of aimed throw made by a well-trained specialist is 10 meters or more."
A weapon used as a hand-to-hand fighting tool, and, WHEN USED IN THE RIGHT HANDS, A THROWING WEAPON ALSO!
Again - - from Suvorov:
http://militera.lib.ru/research/suvorov6/09.html
"In the hands of a spetsnaz soldier the spade is a terrible noiseless weapon . . . The little spade can be used in hand-to-hand fighting against blows from a bayonet, a knife, a fist or another spade . . . Finally a soldier is taught to throw the spade as accurately as he would use a sword or a battle axe . . . As it spins in flight [the spade has] accuracy and thrust. It becomes a terrifying weapon. If it lands in a tree it is not so easy to pull out again."
Here, thanks to the Russian web site: "Entrenching Shovel in Close Combat. Version of Spetsnaz GRU. Basic Fighting Technique." you can see video clips of Alexander Popov [???], demonstrating the fighting shovel combat technique.
You see a lot of twirls, pirouettes, jumps, etc. Ballet-like in form??!! This is characteristic of Russian style martial arts? Russian All-round Fighting [RAF] DOES emphasize Russian folk dance as a basis for many martial arts "moves"!? An indigenously developed Russian close-quarters-combat fighting form that is very effective!?
I would ask the question too, HOW OFTEN WOULD SUCH WEAPONS BE EMPLOYED?
Martial arts as taught to special operations units the world over are obviously useful, to say the least, but how often used? I would think very rarely, if at all?
Such martial arts techniques are more than anything else an excellent way of developing physical fitness, building confidence, instilling aggressiveness, AND OF COURSE - - PERHAPS KILLING AN AMERICAN SENTRY - - NOISELESSLY - - WITH A KNIFE OR A SHOVEL!!
An even more frightful weapon is a spade in the hands of a skilled fighter. It was with the Soviet Army spade that we began this book. Ways of using it are one of the dramatic elements of sambo. A spetsnaz soldier can kill people with a spade at a distance of several metres as easily, freely and silently as with a P-6 gun.
Lunev asserted that some of the hidden caches could contain portable tactical nuclear weapons known as RA-115 "suitcase bombs". Such bombs have been prepared to assassinate US leaders in the event of war, according to him [1] Lunev states that he had personally looked for hiding places for weapons caches in the Shenandoah Valley area[1] and that "it is surprisingly easy to smuggle nuclear weapons into the US, either across the Mexican border or using a small transport missile that can slip undetected when launched from a Russian airplane [1]
God Bless USA
From Kabud | 09/12/10 - 01:37 pm http://losangeles.fbi.gov/pressrel/pressrel10/la051810.htm The FBI is coordinating a training exercise among multiple government and law enforcement organizations at the national and local level, to exercise response capabilities relative to a terrorist attack involving an improvised nuclear device. The exercise will take place Monday, May 17th through Wednesday, May 19th.
But mind that there is no such thing as `homemade nuke`. ON the other hand a suitecase device is a real one. So it is all just double speak.
From New York Times article published on 04/16/2010
Intelligence officials feared that bomb parts might be delivered in diplomatic mail pouches, carried by international air travelers in their luggage or delivered by boat or submarine to an isolated beach.
Communist agents already in the country might then assemble, plant and detonate the weapons. “Surveillance of all Communist Party members and sympathizers is impossible and impractical since numerically they exceed by many times the total Special Agent force of the F.B.I.,” a bureau memo complained. J. Edgar Hoover, the F.B.I. director, who was intensely focused on the smuggling threat, proposed increasing manpower to cope.
Among many potential nuclear saboteurs, F.B.I. field offices identified the proprietor of a left-wing bookstore in Seattle, a reporter for the Soviet news agency Tass and even a representative of the American Council for a Democratic Greece.
When the Polish consul to Detroit arrived in the United States in the mid-1950s with four big boxes, F.B.I. agents surreptitiously searched them for nuclear material. They found 24 bottles of cherry cordial but “no article or part thereof that could be construed as a portion of a weapon of mass destruction,” their secret report solemnly declared.
Security officials later speculated about whether China might set off a smuggled nuke in the United States and make it look like a Soviet attack, provoking devastating war between its rivals. Later, as portable tactical nuclear weapons proliferated in both Eastern and Western Europe, there were periodic alarms about their security.
In the 1950s the United States knew its adversaries had weapons; the mystery was whether they might use them. Today, said Jeffrey T. Richelson, a historian of nuclear weapons, the situation is reversed: Qaeda leaders have suggested publicly that they would use a nuclear weapon, “but as far as we know, Al Qaeda hasn’t even come close to building a bomb.”

You are wasting your time. Most Americans refuse to consult reality until it is jammed into their face during a disaster.
man it makes me sad.. not thats not the word
I was born in Ukraine
ruski communists murdered 50 million ukrainians in 1917-1991
the book on that: `Hitler Stalin’s stooge`
Figure is confirmed by Ukrainian historians based on archives opened just in 2009
I know what `they` want
it is beyond sad.
It is believable that Moskva wants the US to collapse. And then they will tell the Chinese to stay the hell away. But the Chinese will have all the hard currency. They can buy anything they want and Russia will sell it to them. Hmmm. It is a strange world after all.
I dont want USA to be exterminated
I LOVE America. USA- is EVERYTHING to me
EVERYTHING
I will be fighting to the end. Hope we will win
it is not going to be nice
If you knew something about America you would know we have loads of lefties that don't need to be paid a dime to spread commie propaganda.
you have to read something about how ruski hire people to post massively online. Come out from your cave, read, learn
Would an average of ten hours a day six days a week for the last ten years qualify? I am well aware of ChiCom trolls who post for PLAN and have had a hand in getting at least a dozen of them zotted.
Also check the statistic of Americans been overweight And look into how THAT effect immune system
That doesn't affect my weight or health.
Only because the author is an idiot. in every state that I'm familiar, there exists a statute(s) that adds an enhancement to a criminal trespass charge. So, if you are arrested for trespass but haven't necessarily burgled any thing (which would lead to a burglary charge), you might find yourself with additional charges if you have what is described by statute as a "tool of burglary" (or whatever phrase the state might use.
And, again depending on the state, this can be a misdemeanor charge, or a felony charge depending on the kinds of tools you're carrying.
As an example (and depending on the state), if you're carrying on your person a propriety tool - for getting into a particular lock or safe, you're probably going to be facing a felony. In GA - I practiced in GA for a little while - the statute is 16-7-20 (or it could be 16-7-21, I can't remember), if you want to read it yourself.
Hi Cindy have you heard anything on Russia about this? I wounder if the Whitehouse will pursue this as a terrorism act or swipe it under the rug with more of Barry’s “Open Hand” disastrous foreign policy. Barry has to be feeling like a pinata by now because the only thing his foreign policy has accomplished so far is a ton of back hands from the rest of the world.
Men, if you’re going to commit a crime, leave your tool at home.
You and I both know it won’t be nice but as long as there is football on the TV and beer for sale in the stores most people are not going to worry one iota about what Russia has planned for Americas future.
I know Russian Special Forces... they’re built like human tanks.... These guys could never make the grade.
Oh, I’d love to worry about it. Now what should I do?
Chinese buy almost ALL russian military export
Almost ALL Chinese arms are made in Russia
Russia and China have no borders and act as one state
their military planning is joint for many decades
Chinese got their nukes from ruski
That is a gift one only gives to some one THEY OWN
Ruskli have about 100 times more WMD Then Chinese
so dont fool yourselfs
just READ on the subject:
here I collect sources:
http://www.scribd.com/kabud/documents
over 700 books in several languages
http://books.google.com/books?uid=5652302884137400206&as_coll=0&source=gbs_lp_bookshelf_list
I recall an article from 2009 about how Russia urged China to dump treasuries during our collapse in the fall of 2008...
at 9-11 i was in Manhattan
after that beer and football stopped working for about 2 years if u know what i mean
Yes, i read secretary Paulson book too
Those were not Spetznaz; they were kids. I dealt with Spetznaz on a friendly basis while in the Army. There’s not a deputy in the country who could take one Spetznaz, let alone three of them.
Why were they at the power plant with tools and ski masks? Why was one carrying a silk scarf? Who knows? There is obviously more to the story. There obviously was no bomb, certainly not a tactical nuclear weapon, or these guys would not be released. In fact, we’d probably have never heard about it at all.
On the other hand, there has been a great deal of Russian activity lately.
There is the ever-so-slim chance that the reason they were released was so they could be followed and surveilled. I know that is pretty far from reality because it would require the authorities to actually give a crap, and to not be infected with chronic PCness.
It’s outrageous.
Have studied globalism/communism/socialism
since 1965.
These guys have been playing for keeps for longer than 110 years:

GOD ALONE IS OUR REFUGE.
His Word has predicted this era for more than 2000 years.
It is ‘exciting’ to see it all come down . . .
I could do with no excitement for a good long time.
>Those were not Spetznaz; they were kids.
did u meet them? I dont think so.
So how do you know? Spetsnaz i used to know in the 80s did not differ from these.
Typical
Seriously though, the story is interesting. However there is a simple rule of thumb for paring away reality from conspiracy. IF this story continues to be in the media, then the guys were just some silly Russians trying to muck about and got caught before they could vandalize anything. HOWEVER, if the story downright straightup disappears from the media, like the ether opened up and swallowed it, then you can know that there was more to the story than drunk Russians with thoughts of vandalism. It is like the story last year of some 'Asian gentlemen' who were intercepted in Switzerland with billions of dollars worth of bonds ....a big story for two days, then it 100 percent disappeared. Like it never happened. Now ...that WAS a story!!!! :)
