“Exposure of false scientists and academicians!”, “Forbidden knowledge about the world around us!”, “Science guards the interests of the authorities!”, “Scientific conspiracy scheme”, “Sinister methods of the scientific community”, “Secret knowledge cannot be hidden!”

I'm sure everyone has already come across such flashy headlines and readers of what is written under them. If you try to visualize the ideas of a certain part of citizens about scientists and their activities, they will look something like this:

The time has come for me to do my part, and I also decided to tear a little of the covers from the shining body of truth.

A certain part of the citizens have a strong belief in the existence of a gloomy conspiracy of silence, concealment and falsification of true knowledge. Adherents of the version of the "conspiracy of scientists" believe that instead of true knowledge, scientific knowledge is brazenly concocted, which are actually just scientific and splurge, and they are created for convenient cheating of the redneck masses. I will list the most basic and frequent accusations against science, which, as it were, confirm the existence of a conspiracy:

No. 1. There is an agreement between scientists to hide some knowledge that is extremely inconvenient for official science. Scientists are taking such steps, because science is extremely conservative, inert, businessmen from science earn money on this topic, and too much will have to be revised and canceled, which is uncomfortable and unpleasant.

No. 2. Somewhere in deeply classified storerooms, special stores, secret libraries and gloomy basements, manuscripts, tablets or objects that overturn the entire building are sadly languishing. modern science, but they are not shown for reason #1

No. 3. Science is highly inaccurate, often wrong, and largely untrustworthy for reasons #1 and #2. Therefore, it can be trusted only in individual cases, or it is better not to trust it at all. It automatically follows from this that any craziest hypothesis or version has equal rights with scientific theories. Moreover, the fact that people do not have education in the field in which they develop their ideas does not matter.

I answer point by point

No. 1. Scientists conspiracy. And also: hushing up secrets, hiding artifacts, destroying inconvenient inventions, serving the authorities. (First, let's define. A scientist is a representative of science who carries out meaningful activities to form scientific picture world, whose activities and qualifications have been recognized by the scientific community, a person who studies objective reality empirically and operates only with facts that can be reliably confirmed or refuted, a specialist in any scientific field and who has made a real contribution to it).

A little about my experience of communicating with scientists. My place of work is a caretaker at the largest archaeological complex, and every year I have to communicate with scientists from different fields, someone comes for work, someone just to relax. I can say that it is difficult to find people who are more dissimilar to each other. I can't help but tell you one thing funny case. It happened three years ago, as usual, a group of tourists arrived and began to roam the rocks, when suddenly a man separated from the group. Coming straight up to me with resolute steps, he immediately gave his name and surname and asked menacingly - what did I read from him? I, in some confusion from such pressure, answered, - nothing, and asked, - why should I suddenly read it? To which he replied - that he is a very prominent scientist and I must know him. Immediately, he literally handed me a look at a thick book, which he carried everywhere with him, on which it was indicated that he was its author and that he had a lot of all sorts of solid scientific titles. The following year, I got into a conversation with his colleague, who came to us and worked with him for a while. She said that he was really a great specialist in his field, but he had an extremely inflated sense of his own importance. She even recalled a funny episode, how he, having thrown a scandal, demanded from the board that publishes a textbook for students in his specialty that he, along with the great classical scientists, be mentioned on the first pages as the founder of this science.

There were other unusual individuals, for example in different years several times I came across people with candidate and other titles, after talking with whom it was clear that they peacefully coexist in faith in mystical phenomena and at the same time critical-rational thinking.

The vast majority among scientists, of course, are ordinary, normal personalities, and they have as many oddities and peculiarities as all other people. The only significant difference from the majority is the desire to learn, professionally realized in constant scientific activity. Based on my observations, I can say for sure that most scientists are interested in the process of cognition itself, and not in the benefits that their status provides. Every scientist, no less than an alternative person, painfully wants to know the secrets and mysteries of the universe, it is this desire that leads most of the people to science. That is, their activity is mainly in the name of an idea, and there are simply no tools and incentives to force scientists to unite in the name of serving something. To unite them all without exception with a conspiracy or any other idea (except for the idea of ​​scientific knowledge of the world) is absolutely impossible purely technically. The global conspiracy of scientists is the same absurdity as, for example, a conspiracy of nursing mothers, bald taxi drivers or residents of all houses on the 3rd floor.

No. 2. conservatism of science. (And also its inertia, obscurantism, anti-innovation, narrow-mindedness, reactionary, ignorance). Cases of allegedly ignorant conservatism, innumerable, I will briefly talk about the three most famous. Non-existent meteorites, harmful bacteria, motionless continents.

In 1768, on September 13 in the region. Luce, France, a meteorite fell, with a large number of witnesses. The Royal Academy of Sciences of Paris had already received such evidence before, and they decided to finally figure it out. A commission was created, which included well-known scientists at that time: the mineralogist Fougereau, the pharmacist Cadet and the physicist Lavoisier. The testimonies of people, as well as the stones themselves, were studied in the most detailed way. After that, a report was published in the "Physical Journal" for 1777. In a detailed report, it was said that the stone could not fall from the sky - these are the inventions of eyewitnesses, it is of an earthly nature and that it really has some properties that are not common, but most likely due to the fact that lightning hit it. In 1803, after a meteorite fall in Normandy, again on behalf of the (renamed because of the revolution) academy, the physicist Biot compiled an accurate description of its fall. After that, the reality of the existence of meteorites was recognized.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of physicians believed that many human organs were not needed, and all bacteria were harmful. Here is what the biologist wrote and Nobel Laureate Ilya Mechnikov in his "Etudes on Nature": "Now there is nothing bold in asserting that not only the caecum with its appendage, but even all human large intestines are superfluous in our body and that their removal would lead to very desirable results." Considered useless or even harmful: tonsils, appendix, thymus, pineal gland, etc. Views were widespread that the removal of these organs prevents poisoning of the body with the waste products of putrefactive bacteria. The practice of mass removal of some of these organs was widespread until the 1950s. After that, it gradually became clear that bacteria are necessary for the body to work and that each organ has its own useful function. All organs were rehabilitated, the last were the tonsils (tonsils). At the end of the 20th century, it was convincingly proven that they are one of the barriers for pathogenic microbes, in which protective proteins are produced. And the practice of mass removal of them from people was recognized as a mistake. For example, in the United States in the 1930s, the tonsils were removed from more than half of the children, i.e. tens of millions of people.

Until the 1960s, the "contract hypothesis" dominated - in it, all geological processes on the Earth were explained by processes of reducing its volume, i.e. compression. It was believed that it was compression that forms folds-mountains, cracks-faults and all other features of the landscape. In 1912, L.A. Wegener (a German meteorologist and geologist) presented his hypothesis at a meeting of the German Geological Association in Frankfurt am Main. In it, based on the data and observations he collected, he suggested that all continents slowly move in horizontal directions. This hypothesis immediately had some supporters. But the scientific community completely rejected this theory. In the 1960s, a huge amount of new data on the structure of the earth was obtained (a detailed map of the bottom of the world ocean was compiled, the speed of magma convection was measured - 1 cm per year, inversions were discovered magnetic field, the fact of the movement of continental plates was established - with the help of accurate measurements, etc.) As a result, Wegener's hypothesis, with some refinements, was recognized as correct. Now it is generally recognized and is constantly supplemented with new data.

What does all this tell us? First, in recognizing incorrect (from the point of view of modern knowledge) theories, science was at that time in its own right, because then (with that level of tools, knowledge, methods and experience) these theories best explained the world without attracting unnecessary entities in the form of mysticism and incomprehensibility. Here it is necessary to explain a little: the purpose of any scientific theory is to economically explain as many facts as possible. If a theory appears that explains even more facts and even shorter and more understandable formulations, then it will inevitably replace the previous one. Such is the essence of science and such is the evolution of scientific views. Therefore, calls to recognize any (mystical, alternative, esoteric, etc.) theory without a sufficient number of facts confirming it look rather strange. It is usually argued that science will only benefit from this and become more useful. But such actions will be as absurd as trying to attach to the board spaceship horse and cart, in the hope that their combined traction will increase the overall efficiency of the entire facility.

In many ways, this is why science has made such progress in recent years 200, which has got rid of appendages in the form of magic, mysticism, etc., and is fundamentally not engaged in research, cannot be reliably measured and investigated.

Secondly, there is another feature of science that many do not like and is a frequent reason for its accusations. Sometimes it happens that there are a certain number of firmly established facts, but still they are not enough to create a theory on their basis. In this case, the problem is simply left for later and, as it were, moved into a distant box - until more facts accumulate and technical capabilities grow. For example, it was with the mass of the universe, it was more or less learned to calculate by the 1950s, but it turned out to be a huge discrepancy with the observed picture. In the early 2000s, large teams undertook targeted large-scale research in this direction, using all available opportunities (a network of telescopes, powerful computers, launching space probes, etc.), as a result, dark matter was discovered and dark energy, explaining gravitational anomalies (but in the end posing even more other questions about the nature of itself) which led to a revision of the model of the universe.

No. 3. Not the precision of science. It should be noted right away that none of the adequate scientists ever claims the complete infallibility of scientific theories. Each of them has its weak points and white spots. But the fact of the matter is that in any theory of alternatives (when compared with scientific theory) there are an order of magnitude more weak spots and white spots. And then, scientists always recognize the unconditional right of alternative theories to compete with scientific ones, and even more so the right to their existence. But here is an important condition - they must be soundly worked out with the involvement of scientific methods. Unfortunately, most of what alternative figures offer cannot even be called a scientific theory; rather, it is some kind of informational garbage that has grown on fried, and not on verifiable facts.

Often one can also hear the accusation that science does not evaluate, study, consider, or at least expose many alternative theories that continuously generate many figures and which then find a lively response from some part of the citizens. But this is also easily explained. One of the generally accepted rules for conducting a dialogue looks like this: “the burden of evidence should always lie with the approving side.” Imagine the following situation: a group of people was seated opposite you, giving them the task of a couple of hours to tell you all their theories. And you were given the task to refute them or confirm them. And here you are sitting, and all these two hours every ten seconds they are shouting out a new ridiculous idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe universe. Will you manage to sort them all out and adequately answer? In the same position and science, the number and variety of non-scientific hypotheses is such that even 100 times more scientists are not enough to expose all this. And it is not part of the function of science to directly fight illiterate theories.

Many years ago, namely, 70 years have passed since Edgar Cayce predicted that one day a room would be found in Egypt that would have the name of the Hall of Testimonies or the Hall of Records, and it would be associated with the Sphinx. It is this room that will tell us about the existence of a Highly Developed Civilization on Earth millions of years ago, and the passage to the Hall of Evidence will go from the room located under the right paw of the Sphinx.

Already in 1989, with the help of special equipment, a group of Japanese scientists from Waseda University, headed by Professor Sakuji Yoshimura, discovered a narrow tunnel under the left paw of the Sphinx leading towards the Khafre pyramid. It started at a depth of two meters and went obliquely down.

In addition, they found a large cavity behind the northwestern wall of the Queen's Chamber, as well as a "tunnel" outside and south of the pyramid, extending under the monument.

They used modern "non-destructive testing" techniques based on electromagnetic waves and radar equipment.

But before they could do any further research, the Egyptian authorities intervened and halted the project. Yoshimura and his expedition failed to return to work in the Queen's Chamber.

In the same way, and all in the same 1989, the seismic survey of the Sphinx was also carried out by the American geophysicist Thomas Dobetsky. And it also led to the discovery of a large rectangular chamber under the front paws of the Sphinx.

Dobecki's research was part of a geological survey of the Sphinx by Professor Robert Schoch of Boston University. But his work was abruptly stopped in 1993 by Dr. Zahi Hawass of the Egyptian Antiquities Organization. And even more than that, the Egyptian government no longer allowed any new geological or seismic surveys to be carried out around the Sphinx. And this despite the fact that Shoch's research came close to unraveling the age of the Sphinx, which was previously interested in local authorities.

In the same 1993, the film “The Secret of the Sphinx” was released, in which the emphasis was on the fact that the Sphinx and a number of other monuments in the Giza necropolis date back to at least the 11th millennium BC.

Partial funding for The Secret of the Sphinx was provided by the Edgar Cayce Foundation and its affiliate, the Association for Research and Enlightenment - ECF/ARE and their supporters. It is this documentary first reported Thomas Dobecki's seismic survey around the Sphinx and his discovery of a large rectangular cavity deep in the rock under his forepaws.

This prompted ECF/ARE to link this fact to Casey's Hall of Records and his prediction.

In the same year, 1993, Zahi Hawass begins excavations of the newly discovered temple complex of the ancient kingdom with underground tunnels that were located on the southeast side of the Sphinx.

But the emphasis was still not on the Hall of Evidence under the Sphinx, but on another discovery that distracted the public from the Hall of Evidence. This discovery was the information that a certain chamber is hidden in the depths of the Great Pyramid.

A German engineer from Munich, Rudolf Gantenbrink, examined the narrow shafts with the help of a miniature robot with a television camera, and at the very end of the southern shaft, near the walls of the Queen's Chamber, he discovered a small door with copper handles. With big problems, but he managed to remove the opening of this door.

This was done by a film crew led by director Jochen Breitenstein and his assistant Dirk Brakebusch.

And Gantenbrink's problems arose due to the fact that the German Archaeological Institute did not receive in time the necessary permission to film the opening of the door from the Egyptian Antiquities Organization, which nevertheless was given verbally by Zahi Hawass with the support of Gantenbrink by Dr. Stadslmann.

But already in 1995, the Egyptian Antiquities Organization warned the German authorities not to try to continue the study of the Great Pyramid.

And in December 1995, Zahi Hawass was approached with a request for a documentary filming for television, which was dedicated to the mysteries of the Sphinx. And Hawass led the film crew into the tunnel, which was located directly under the Sphinx.

“Perhaps,” he said, “even Indiana Jones did not dream of being here. Can you believe we are inside the Sphinx now! Previously, no one opened this tunnel, and no one knows what is inside it. We're going to open it first."

I can assume that this film crew was from the film company Paramount (Paramount Studios), as mentioned in the book by Drunvalo Melchizedek " ancient secret Flower of Life, Volume 2, Chapter 11, which was published in 2003. Here is the passage in his book:

“In November 1996, a source in Egypt contacted me. He said: now something has been discovered that surpasses anything ever found in Egypt. From the ground between the paws of the Sphinx, a stone stele came to the surface (a flat stone slab with inscriptions). The inscriptions on it spoke of the Hall of Testimony and the room under the Sphinx.

The Egyptian government ordered that the stele be removed immediately so that no one could read the hieroglyphs engraved on it. Then they began to dig the ground between the paws of the Sphinx and opened the room, which the Japanese discovered in 1989. It contained an earthen jar and a coiled rope. According to my source, through the tunnel from this room, the authorities descended into a circular room, from which there were three more tunnels leading to the Great Pyramid. In one of them, two amazing phenomena were discovered.

First, the officials saw a light field, a shroud of light blocking the entrance. When they tried to pass through this field, nothing happened. Not even a bullet could penetrate it.

In addition, if someone tried to physically approach the light field at a distance of about 9 m (30 feet), the person became ill and began to vomit. If he tried to move forward with force, he felt that he was dying. No one, as far as I know, could touch the mysterious field.

When examining instruments from the surface of the Earth, beyond the light field, something completely unthinkable was discovered.

Underground twelve-story building ~ imagine, twelve floors going deep into the earth!

The Egyptians realized that they themselves could not cope with these problems. The Egyptian government asked for foreign assistance. It was decided that there was a specific person (I will not name him) who could turn off the light field and enter the tunnel. He will have two assistants. One of these people is a good friend of mine, so I followed the course of events closely, getting first-hand information. My friend brought with him representatives of the film company Paramount (Paramount Studios), which was supposed to get permission to shoot a film about the opening of this unique tunnel. Incidentally, it was Paramount that made the film about the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb, so it had very good connections in Egypt.

The explorers planned to enter, or at least attempt to enter, this tunnel on January 23, 1997. The government asked the film company for several million dollars, to which it agreed. However, the day before the group entered the tunnel, the Egyptians decided they wanted more money and asked for a million and a half "under the table", which infuriated the film company. Paramount said no, and that was it. It was quiet for about three months.

Then I accidentally learned that another group of three people had entered the tunnel. They turned off the light field with the sound of their voices and the holy names of God. The leader of the group, who is widely known and does not want his name mentioned, went to Australia and showed a video film about breaking into a tunnel and a twelve-story building, and the latter turned out to be not just a building. This building stretched underground for miles and was in fact the outskirts of the city. I have three in Australia good friends who have seen this film.

Then another man appeared, Larry Hunter, who devoted more than 20 years of his life to the archeology of Egypt. Mr. Hunter contacted me and gave me information that was almost identical to what I received from my sources in Egypt, except that it was more detailed. The city covers an area of ​​10.4 by 13 km (6.5 by 8 miles) and goes deep into the earth for twelve floors, the perimeter of the city is outlined by unique Egyptian temples.

The following information echoes Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval's Message of the Sphinx. Graham and Robert guessed that the three pyramids at Giza were placed on Earth in exact alignment with the three stars in Orion's Belt. According to the researchers, all the major stars of the constellation Orion can be found in the location of the temples in Egypt, but they have not been able to convincingly prove this theory. Mr. Hunter did this, and I saw for myself that his proof was correct. Using his stellar navigation skills acquired during his time in the Navy, Mr. Hunter found temples at every single point corresponding to every major star in the constellation of Orion. He used the Global Positioning System (GPS) to find these places on Earth with an accuracy of 15 m (50 feet) and physically went to every place where the temple was supposed to mark the star. This is how this hypothesis was tested.

Another thing is surprising: in every place there was a temple and each temple was made of a unique material not found in any other temple in all of Egypt.

The base blocks of the three pyramids at Giza, including the Great Pyramid, are made from the same material. It's called a coin in stone. This is limestone that looks like it has coins mixed into it.

It is unique and found only in temples located in the underground city of six and a half by eight miles.

Here is a brief hypothesis, the correctness of which is disputed by the official Egyptian authorities. The underground city that Thoth was talking about really exists, and it can accommodate 10,000 people. According to Mr. Hunter, the boundaries of the city are marked by temples made of a unique material, and the location of the temples themselves correspond to the location of the stars in the constellation of Orion.

Based on what I've seen, I think this is true, although Egyptian officials consider the city a fantasy. I take an objective point of view. Eventually, the truth will surely come out. If this is true, then when the underground city is revealed, this archaeological find will lead to the growth of human consciousness.

I can only add to what Drunvalo Melchizedek said above that this underground city is one of the cities of Shambhala.

Information from Melchizedek's book "The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life" was known to everyone who was interested in Egypt in more depth than simple curiosity. Because some printed publications, at one time, wrote articles about this, but nothing more.

As for the Sphinx and the Hall of Testimony below it, the local archaeological group has been working there for many years now under the leadership of Zaha Hawass. His group works covertly, almost never going unnecessarily to the surface. And if someone has to go to the surface, then this is done at night, when there are no tourists near the Pyramids and next to the Sphinx.

No one is opposed to local archaeologists secretly or openly conducting their research on the territory of their country. This is their right. This is their country. These are their Pyramids and their Sphinx. But there is one important and very significant “BUT”, which gave me the right to intervene in the local affairs of Egypt.

But quite recently, this group of archaeologists, including their leader Zahi Hawass, made a Great Discovery, which the Egyptian Authorities decided to hide from the Humanity of the Earth. This discovery was a secret chamber where the only item belonging to Thoth is kept - his Energy Rod, which is mentioned by himself in his Tablets: "The Emerald Tablets of Thoth Atlanta" - "The Emerald Tablet I: The Story of Thoth Atlanta":

“We quickly rushed towards the morning sun, until the earth became under us, the land of the children of Khem. Furious, they met us with clubs and spears raised in anger, wanting to destroy and destroy every single Son of Atlantis. Then I raised my rod, and sent a ray of vibration, hitting them so that they became motionless, like fragments of stones of a mountain. Then I turned to them with words calm and peaceful, and told about the power of Atlantis, saying that we are the children of the Sun and its messengers. I pacified them with my magical science until they prostrated themselves at my feet, and then I freed them.

There is a mention of the same Wand in the book “Initiation” by Elizabeth Haich, chapter 32. “Instructions of Ptahotep”:

“Your father's rod, made of a variety of copper, can transmit radiation of any plane. At the will of a person, they can transform or intensify. The wand can be a blessing or a curse, depending on who uses it.

Initiates who own all forces - from the highest divine to the lowest ultra-material - can consciously transfer them to the wand. Human organs senses are able to perceive them, then they are experienced by people as emotional states. Thus, the highest divine frequencies are experienced as universal love, and the lowest - ultramaterial - as hatred.

The initiate always uses the wand in such a way as to create something good, and the ultramaterial vibrations serve him only when necessary as an invisible, impenetrable protective wall. With the help of this wand, the initiate can control all the forces of nature, strengthening or neutralizing them.

And now I will tell you about the Storage Chamber of the Wand of Thoth and the Wand of Energy itself:

The Wand Storage Chamber itself is located behind the Hall of Evidence, just opposite the very passage and entrance to the Hall itself, the Light Barrier from which was removed in 1997.

The door to the Chamber was opened by pressing the stone and sinking it deep into the wall. On this stone was engraved the Rod of Thoth Energy with rays. On the left stone, from the key stone, the goddess Maat was depicted. And on the stone to the right of him, Maat is also depicted, but already with a Wand.

After activating the keystone, part of the wall of the Hall of Evidence went inside, and the Door slid to the side, ending up behind the wall of the Hall of Evidence. This revealed a large doorway that opened up access to the Chamber of the Wand.

The Chamber of the Wand is large and has a square shape. In the center of the Chamber there is a pedestal in the form of a pyramid with seven high steps. At the top of the pyramid in its center is the Rod of Thoth Energy itself.

The Wand of Life looks like a tall staff. It is about 1.5 meters high and cm 3 in diameter in the center. The wand narrows towards the bottom and widens towards the top. It is all strewn with precious stones, from which symbols are laid out. The top of the Wand is crowned with a crystal.

It is the Crystal of Energy on top of the Wand of Life that emits the Radiance of Life, illuminating everything around with its light. And this light, as the Light of Energy, spreads into the open doorway, illuminating the area directly in front of the Chamber in the Hall of Evidence itself.

The reaction of some people to this energy from the Rod of Life is the same as it was before to that Light Force Field, which blocked the passage to the Hall of Evidence: People became ill - they were sick, and if a person lingered a little longer, then he was sick.

The same reaction happens to an overdose of drugs, and in this case– for an overdose of the Human Soul with the energies coming from the Wand of Life. Therefore, the farther a person is from the Chamber, the better he is, and the closer he approaches the Chamber of the Wand, the worse he becomes. Such is the reaction of the Human Soul to the energies of the Rod of Life.

But not all people have the same reaction to the energies from the Rod of Life. There were also people who were able to approach the Chamber of the Wand and even enter it without any consequences for their health. True, they were able to go forward only up to a certain point, and then they became ill, and they quickly left.

I can assume that only the Heir of Thoth can pick up the Wand of Life. That of the people of the Earth, on whose Soul the encoding of the Wand was made by merging their Energies, as their Life Force.

The connection of the Life Forces, as the energies of the Wand of Life and the Heir of Thoth, will occur at the moment of their physical contact. And then we will be able to see the energy of the Soul of the one whom He chose to become the new owner for his Energy Rod, because the Rod always radiates the energy that a person spent in it. This force has the same type of vibration as human energy, therefore it is safe for a person, but within reason.

But until the Chamber of the Wand and the Hall of Testimonies itself are closed to free access for tourists, the Heir of Thoth will not be able to take his Legacy - the Rod of Life in his hands, and the Second Coming will not take place, although the Time and Dates are approaching their climax.

And now, by present moment time, we have two options for further development of events:

Or wait until the Egyptian Authorities awaken their conscience, and they will promulgate the Discovery of the Century, showing the World what was filmed then in 1997. Namely: the removal of the Light Force Field from the passage to the Hall of Evidence and the Hall of Evidence itself. And what was filmed by them now, when the Chamber of the Rod was opened in their own House of Thoth.

Or ask the Egyptian Authorities to open the Veil of Secrecy and show the World the Hall of Testimony and the Chamber of the Wand, thereby giving each of the people a chance to try their luck and try to pick up the Wand of Life and become the Heir of Thoth Atlanta.

Who is terrorizing Russia?

Phone attacks cause panic throughout the country, but the authorities and law enforcement officers act as if nothing is happening. This raises serious suspicions among experts.

Is the vaunted SORM system for billions of rubles not able to perform its functions? © CC0 Public Domain

In dozens of large cities of the country, due to massive calls from unknown people about explosion threats, shopping centers, schools, universities, residential and administrative buildings have been evacuated daily for two weeks. However, despite the unprecedented scale of destabilization, the authorities have been silent all this time, and the media are giving out various not entirely convincing versions about the source of the threats.

Rosbalt asked experts about their versions of what is happening and whether the Russian law enforcement system is able to protect citizens.

Gennady Gudkov, FSB reserve colonel, deputy of the State Duma of the III-VI convocations:

“The problem is that in the situation with calls about ‘mining’, we don’t know for sure whether the law enforcers don’t want or can’t find the callers. I know for sure that quite recently the FSB received additional powerful technical search and tracing systems - the so-called SORM-5. Now the FSB is able to very quickly and effectively identify sources of information, threats or calls not only on the territory of our country, but also abroad. In addition, there is a huge department for technical intelligence, an analogue of the DIA, as well as a department that deals with encryption-decryption, etc. That is, Russia is not a whipping boy at all, but a country with serious capabilities to protect its information security. Nevertheless, we have seen how for the past two weeks massive telephone threats have paralyzed the lives of a number of large cities. They cause panic, anxiety of hundreds of thousands of Russians, cause enormous damage to the economy.

At the same time, we still do not have any sane official information from the leadership of the Russian state. Neither the Security Council, nor the presidential representative, nor the leaders of the government and federal structures responsible for our security, said anything. This cannot and should not happen in a country where the government normally communicates with society. Therefore, there are suspicions.

I understand that if our services were faced with some unknown technology that would make these attacks anonymous... But then it was necessary for someone, let's say, from the leaders of the Security Council, to come out and say: “Dear fellow citizens, we are under a massive attack. In all likelihood, this is a group of international terrorists or swindlers who are trying to plunge us into anxiety, fear, etc., etc. We will definitely find them - we just encountered technical methods that we have not previously studied that do not yet allow us decrypt the source of threats. But we are doing such work and we will definitely punish everyone who is involved in what is happening. We have already turned to our partners abroad, asking them to use technical and other capabilities to identify this dangerous gang of criminals.”

What do we have instead? Silence, incomprehensible "leaks" from incomprehensible sources in the structures - either in the FSB, then in the Security Council, then in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, accusing either Ukraine, or Brussels, or someone else of what is happening.

Two conclusions can be drawn from this. First: our law enforcement system, special services, security system are absolutely unable to cope with their tasks. They consume huge amounts of taxpayer money, but they cannot protect it. Then it is necessary to take strict measures against them. Second: if our special services, law enforcement agencies are able to act, then this is a provocation on the part of the state, apparently pursuing the goal of rallying the people around power. For example, for the sake of further persecution of the Internet, the prohibition of social networks, communication systems of people. Or maybe this is in order to “tighten the screws” on the eve of the presidential elections.

I don't have a third option. Previously, I suspected that this could be an international gang that was working on methods of destabilization in Russia, perhaps in order to obtain some political or financial bonuses. But I discount this version, because if it were so, the country's leadership would certainly declare it.

Therefore silence Russian authorities makes me suspect that this may be either a provocation by the state, or an absolute loss of viability of the entire Russian security system. Unfortunately, there are only these two sad alternatives.”

Leonid Volkov, IT expert and politician:

“The situation with false “mining” throughout Russia has clearly demonstrated the impotence of law enforcement officers in the face of real cyber threats. And, most likely, this happened as a result of corrupt spending on information security - for example, on the same SORM system. In theory, SORM, as it was conceived, could track IP telephony calls. In fact, it turned out that she could not.

From this follows a sad conclusion. Providers pay for this system, and we pay providers. According to conservative estimates, SORM costs us about 8-10 billion rubles a year. However, it turns out that the system is completely inefficient and does not allow you to do anything that was required of it.

Of course, there are objective technical difficulties. To calculate the source of the call, you need to understand where it enters the public telephone network via IP telephony. But the fact of the matter is that if SORM worked as stated, then, of course, the caller could be found. It is unlikely that the law enforcement authorities do not want to look for him. I think they just can't do it because they built an expensive, inefficient system that didn't pass the first serious test.

It seems that the point of creating this system, like almost any large system in modern Russia, was that someone mastered some budgets. Today it is already such an unattractive, harsh truth of life.

Stanislav Belkovsky, political strategist, publicist:

“Mass evacuation due to calls from ‘telephone terrorists’ may be part of a certain technology related to the preparation of Vladimir Putin for the nomination for a new presidential term. Because now it is the president who must intervene in this situation and put an end to all these chaotic actions and show that he is able to regain control over what is happening. And all these scattered quasi-, pseudo-terrorist structures will be called to order.

The fact that yesterday the leader of the pseudo-existing Christian State organization was detained at the request of Deputy Poklonskaya largely fits into this scheme.

The President will put an end to this, especially since there is most likely no real mining. There is simply a system of threats behind which nothing actually stands. Putin will put an end to it, thereby showing that he is the main and only guarantor of the security of the Russian people.”

Aleksey Kondaurov, retired KGB major general, deputy of the State Duma of the IV convocation:

“It is not surprising that people in our country feel unprotected from criminal encroachments. And I feel insecure too.

Everyone sees the low effectiveness of the law enforcement system, including the police, courts, and prosecutors. The engagement of these special services is also obvious. They, I think, have a general orientation - to protect the authorities. And the protection of citizens, although declared, is in fact carried out extremely inefficiently.

When you see the same traffic cops on the roads, peeling seeds, you see how they “work” with an excess number, you understand that you can’t expect high performance from the law enforcement system.

People come with statements about committed crimes, and they are often denied, or they accept statements, but do nothing to solve the crime. There is a lot of evidence for this in the form of resonant attacks on politicians and public figures.

All this, plus endless corruption scandals, directly indicates that the country's law enforcement system is ineffective.”
