CLOAK AND CABINET

The one year anniversary since the start of the Russian illegal invasion of Ukraine is approaching. The  statistics are very grim when it comes to the suffering of the war. There was just over an estimated 7,000 civilian casualties in the past year, with almost 12,000 civilians suffering injuries. This included 800 children injured and 430 dead.  The military casualties have been high on both sides. It's very hard to say how many deaths occurred, as keeping a record in an active war is difficult. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy , said in December 2022 that around 13,000 Ukrainian soldiers have lost their lives in this deadly war. On the Russian side, it has been a lot higher. It is estimated that the number of Russian troops killed or injured in Ukraine is approaching 200,000 .  A THREE-DAY WAR  At the beginning of the invasion, some parties such as Belarus, believed that the war would last three or four days. The belief was that Ukrainians will wel...

Rosatom is one of the biggest nuclear energy companies in the world. It has building projects in many different international countries, but it is also owned by the Russian Federation. The same Russia that is responsible for the illegal invasion in Ukraine, and the overall political instability and fear in Europe.  In this post, we will explore what Rosatom is, and what ongoing projects they have with Hungary and Turkey. We find out if those deals can influence these two NATO outliers to make choices that are friendly to the Kremlin, but hurt the West.  WHAT IS ROSATOM? Rosatom, or in full Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation, is one of the largest companies in the nuclear energy industry in the world. It is a Russian state corporation with headquarters in Moscow. They specialize in high-tech products, nuclear energy, and nuclear non-energy goods. The Rosatom flag with the Russian Federation flag (Picture: Unknown)  It was established in 2007. It is an umbrella corpor...

It is safe to say that Russia is losing the war in Ukraine. Up-to-date casualties show that over 120,000 soldiers have been killed in the past 11 months. On top of this, Russia is losing military weapons and equipment on a massive scale. Paired with sanctions from the West and an increasing economic struggle, Russia is finding itself in a position where it might not be able to replenish its stores. RUSSIA IS LOSING ON A MASSIVE SCALE It's no secret that the Russian military has problems with low morale, food shortages, and basic first aid supplies. Soldiers are dissatisfied, badly trained, hungry, cold, angry with their government, their superiors and generally fed up with the war. On the other hand, you have Wagner PMC troops that are made up of convicts, foreign fighters and anyone that wishes to make a buck. Wagner PMC’s owner, Yevgeny Prigozhin , is on a media campaign to fight for the upper seat in the Kremlin. Russian President, Mr Vladimir Putin, hides in a bunker and is mi...

In  Part 2 , we saw how the case was mismanaged by the Boulder police from the very beginning. We also looked into the autopsy results and they revealed that JonBenét suffered a terrible death. She was struck in the head with a heavy object, strangled with a garrote and sexually assaulted. Writing samples from her parents showed that John was not responsible for writing the ransom note, but Patsy could not be ruled out.  In the final part, let's have a look at the DNA sample found and who could be responsible for this wicked crime.  JonBenét's beauty and youthfulness is what makes this case difficult for many people DNA FOUND DNA evidence was found at the crime scene. The sample was from an unidentified person, and it was detected under JonBenét's fingernails. The same DNA was found in her underwear. This DNA is not related to anyone in the Ramsey household or family. John Mark Carr's mugshot   In 2008, a man called John Mark Carr confessed...

JonBenét  Ramsey was killed on 26th December 1996 in a most horrific way. In Part 1 , we took a look at the at the Ramseys an their youngest daughter was found in the basement of the family residence. She was bludgeoned, strangled and sexually assaulted. Her death was not easy, or instantaneous. In Part 2, we will explore how the police botched the investigation and what the autopsy revealed. JonBenét Ramsey posing for a pageant POLICE INVESTIGATION Police repeatedly failed in the JonBenét case. The first instance of negligence was the fact that police officers weren't the ones who actually discovered the body. The cellar door was locked when investigators were looking through the home, and as such, they decided not go there. Behind this door, as we remember, was the covered body of young JonBenét.  When Mr. Ramsey found, picked up and brought the body of his daughter, he contaminated the crime scene. Another failure on the police's part was that they left only one...

What happened to JonBenet Ramsey and why are we still searching for answers 26 years down the track?  In this series we will have an in-depth look at the family, the facts of the case and speculate on what could have happened to this beautiful 6-years-old child.     JonBenét Ramsey  (Source: unknown)  THE RAMSEY FAMILY   The Ramseys were a well-known family in Boulder, Colorado in United States of America.
