The horrifying terror attack that we just witnessed in Russia is going to change everything.  The Russian population is crying out for revenge‚ and Russian leaders seem convinced that the Ukrainians were behind the attack.  In fact‚ no matter how much politicians in the western world insist that “ISIS-K” was responsible‚ they are never going to be able to convince the Russians that it wasn’t the Ukrainians.  Dozens of missiles have already been fired at cities all over Ukraine in response to the terror attack‚ and this is probably just the initial wave.  The Russians are going to punish the Ukrainians for what they think that they have done‚ and that is likely to shift public opinion in the western world regarding sending ground troops into Ukraine.  Needless to say‚ once NATO troops are officially sent into Ukraine‚ we are just one step away from the unthinkable. The attack that transpired on Friday was highly coordinated‚ and the men that did the shooting did not seem to care who they hit… The men‚ clad in camouflage and with combat vests containing dozens of spare magazines‚ arrived at Crocus City Hall at about 7:40 p.m. in a minivan‚ leaping out of the back door and heading towards the entrance with their weapons‚ witnesses said. They fired directly through the glass doors of the main entrance‚ shooting at anyone who crossed their path. Dozens of bodies‚ some in pools of blood‚ lay motionless on the marble floors and at the main entrance. There were four shooters‚ and they just kept firing and firing. Ironically‚ the thousands of people that were there had come to see a performance of a hit song entitled “Afraid of Nothing”… The four armed men walked calmly towards the metal detectors at Crocus City Hall‚ firing their automatic weapons point-blank in short bursts at terrified civilians who fell screaming in a hail off bullets. Nearby‚ one witness named Natalya had just taken off her coat and was standing in line on Friday evening at the internal entrance to the 6‚200-seat concert hall outside Moscow‚ where Soviet-era rock group “Picnic” was to perform its hit “Afraid of Nothing.” “The shots came from behind us‚” Natalya‚ who asked for her surname not to be used‚ told Reuters. In the aftermath of the attack‚ the Russians arrested eleven people‚ including all four shooters. It appears that all four shooters were Muslim. And they were shouting Islamic slogans as they were gunning people down. So on the surface‚ it very much looks like an Islamic terror attack. And it is true that “ISIS-K” immediately took responsibility‚ a photo of the shooters was immediately posted by “ISIS-K” after the attack‚ and video footage that the shooters captured during their rampage has been released by “ISIS-K”. So did ISIS-K really plan and carry out this attack? I don’t know. Maybe they did. But one of the shooters has supposedly confessed that he was hired to conduct this attack. He also supposedly confessed that he does not know who hired him‚ because he was apparently recruited online. So that is quite odd. In addition‚ Russian President Vladimir Putin is claiming that the terrorists were captured as they were fleeing toward the Ukrainian border… After the Friday night rampage at the venue just outside Moscow‚ “the perpetrators tried to escape by car‚ fleeing towards the Russian-Ukrainian border‚” the FSB said Saturday “The criminals intended to cross the Russia-Ukraine border and had relevant contacts on the Ukrainian side‚” the FSB statement alleged. The four alleged gunmen were detained “not far from the border with Ukraine”. This has raised suspicion in the Kremlin over Ukraine’s involvement‚ despite the widespread media reports in the West that it was ISIS-K. As we noted earlier‚ Russian media has not echoed the Western reports highlighting an ISIS-K statement of responsibility. If Ukraine had nothing to do with this attack‚ why were they going to Ukraine? That wouldn’t make any sense. So I don’t know what to think. But U.S. officials seem quite sure that they know exactly what happened.  Right after the attack‚ they were absolutely certain that “ISIS-K” was responsible… The initial reports that ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terror attack in Moscow appeared rumor at first‚ and has still been subject of widespread scrutiny and debate‚ however‚ US media and government officials are saying that the Islamic State (or ISIS-K) statement is authentic. “A branch of the Islamic State claimed responsibility on Friday for the attack in Moscow that killed at least 40 people and injured about 100 others‚ and U.S. officials confirmed the claim shortly afterward‚” The New York Times writes late in the day. And it turns out that U.S. officials apparently knew in advance that “ISIS-K” was planning to attack a public venue inside Russia… What’s more is that US intelligence knew there was to be an imminent attack on Moscow: “The United States collected intelligence in March that Islamic State-Khorasan‚ known as ISIS-K‚ the branch of the group based in Afghanistan‚ had been planning an attack on Moscow‚ according to officials. ISIS members have been active in Russia‚ one U.S. official said‚” according to more from NYT. The Kremlin had earlier in the day demanded answers of Washington explaining why the US Embassy in Moscow issued an alert earlier this month for all US nationals to avoid public venues and be extra vigilant. We previously reported on that early March embassy notification here. On March 7th‚ the U.S. embassy in Moscow warned that “extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow‚ to include concerts”. Wow‚ that is pretty specific. Is the U.S. intelligence community that good? Or is something else going on here? Once again‚ I don’t know. But what matters is that the Russians appear to be entirely convinced that Ukraine is to blame. Numerous Russian leaders have already publicly pointed a finger at the Ukrainians‚ and during his public remarks to the Russian people‚ Vladimir Putin made it pretty clear what he thinks… In his speech Putin‚ declared March 24 a day of national mourning for the victims. Unblinking and tight-lipped‚ he said: “I am speaking to you today in connection with the bloody‚ barbaric terrorist act‚ the victims of which were dozens of innocent‚ peaceful people.” He continued: “All four perpetrators of the terrorist act who shot and killed people have been detained. “They were travelling towards Ukraine … We will identify and punish everybody who stood behind the terrorists‚ who prepared the attack.” As I write this article‚ dozens of missiles and drones have already hit targets all over Ukraine. In fact‚ one missile briefly entered Polish airspace before going back into Ukraine… Poland said it would demand an explanation from Moscow after a Russian missile briefly breached Polish airspace during a massive missile attack on Ukraine‚ prompting the Nato member to put its forces on heightened readiness. Russia and Ukraine have been engaged in a series of deadly aerial attacks‚ with Sunday’s early morning strikes coming a day after the Russian military said it had seized the Ukrainian village of Ivanivske‚ west of Bakhmut. Hopefully the Russians will be more careful in the future‚ because if a single missile lands in Poland that could set off a very alarming chain of events. But it is inevitable that the missile barrage will continue‚ because the Russians want revenge. The terror suspect that has already confessed reportedly told Russian authorities that he was promised a payment of $5‚400 to be involved in the shooting… On Saturday‚ RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan posted footage of the interrogation of one of the suspects. The man in the video claims that he went on the killing spree after he was promised 500‚000 rubles ($5‚400). The suspect also claimed that his handlers had instructed him as to where the attack should take place. He said he was ordered to “kill people there… doesn’t matter who.” The suspect claimed that the terrorist act was organized on Telegram with an unknown person who provided weapons. If any of this is true‚ we should all be extremely alarmed. Because you would think that if this really was an “ISIS-K” operation‚ it would be “ISIS-K” bosses that would be giving the orders and providing the weapons. But instead it appears that the people that were ultimately behind this attack did not wish to be identified and were seeking to hire some “useful idiots” that were disposable. Of course it is true that any “confession” that is extracted under torture may not be reliable. So perhaps everything that this suspect is saying is entirely false. It is being reported that Russian troops actually cut an ear off of one of the suspects and tried to make him eat it… Graphic and disturbing footage shows the moment one of the suspected Moscow terrorists is captured and mutilated while ‘fleeing towards the Ukrainian border.’ The footage‚ which has not been independently verified‚ shows the suspect pinned to the ground by armed Russian troops who cut off part of his ear with a small knife.‌ They then force the severed ear into his mouth and attempt to make him swallow it. The alleged terrorist is also struck on the face and later appears heavily bandaged. You don’t want to mess with Russians. They are brutal. And now the entire Russian population is seething with anger. Ukraine is going to get hit so hard in the days ahead‚ and here in the western world the calls to send ground forces to help the Ukrainians will get louder and louder. In recent weeks‚ French President Emmanuel Macron has stated on multiple occasions that there soon may come a time when NATO troops are needed in Ukraine. Needless to say‚ not everyone in France is on board with this.  In fact‚ another French politician is warning that this could result in “direct war” with Russia… A prominent NATO ally and lawmaker has warned of an imminent war between Russia and France as tensions between the countries mount over the war in Ukraine. French politician Jordan Bardella raised concerns on Friday over the potential for a “direct war” with Russia if France‚ a NATO member‚ decides to deploy troops to Ukraine. He is right. Of course if French troops are sent to die in the trenches of eastern Ukraine‚ U.S. boys and girls would be sent to die in the trenches of eastern Ukraine too. And once NATO forces and Russian forces are shooting at one another directly‚ we would be just one step away from nuclear war. Recently‚ Americans were asked if they believe that World War III is coming‚ and the results were quite surprising… According to a newly released survey from YouGov‚ 61 percent of Americans believe it is either “very likely” or “somewhat likely” that World War III will kick off within the next decade. When looking at the results by political party‚ the pollsters found one-third of Republicans think it’s very likely that there will be another world war in the next decade; while 20 percent of Independents and 16 percent of Democrats agree. “If another world war were to break out‚ 77% of Americans believe the U.S. would be involved. Just 6% say the U.S. would not be involved‚ and the remaining 18% are unsure‚” YouGov reports. What about you? Do you believe that a global war is either coming or has already begun? Personally‚ I would love to see peace. Unfortunately‚ leaders all over the globe have come down with a very bad case of “war fever”‚ and now the terror attack that we just witnessed in Russia threatens to push the conflict in Ukraine to an entirely new level.

On August 16‚ 1977‚ and the days and weeks that followed‚ the whole world mourned the death of Elvis Presley‚ the King of Rock and Roll.  He had such an impact on the music world. When people hear the name Elvis‚ they don’t need a last name for recognition. Even his clothing and hair were iconic. More importantly‚ a single note from Elvis’s mouth is easy to identify.  Elvis was a legend when he was alive and remained as such long after his death. How did he die? Let’s talk about the end of the Elvis era.  Portrait of Elvis Presley around the time he was leaving to join the army. 1958 A Glimpse Into the Making of a Legend Elvis was born to Gladys and Vernon Presley on January 8‚ 1935‚ in East Tupelo‚ Mississippi‚ in what is known as a shotgun house. They were very poor: a shotgun house is a small property only 12 feet wide. Moreover‚ East Tupelo was referred to as the “roughest town in north Mississippi.”  The Presleys went to the Assembly of God Church‚ where the music deeply resonated with young Elvis. At ten years old‚ he joined a singing contest and began playing guitar on his 11th birthday.  Discovery There were disputes in the discovery of Elvis—many music bigwigs wanted to take credit for it.  The truth is that Elvis had the biggest hand in his initial success. At 18 years old‚ fresh out of high school‚ Elvis recorded two songs at the Memphis Recording Service. It was owned by Sam Phillips‚ who brought Johnny Cash and B.B. King to the world. He took credit for Elvis’ stardom.  In 1954‚ Phillips grouped Elvis with guitarist Winfield “Scotty” Moore and bass player Bill Black to form a trio. Elvis’ name slowly became more known in Memphis.  Popularity By 1956‚ Elvis had a full band and backup singers. He was being invited to play on TV programs. In March‚ he released his self-titled album.  Elvis’ true star power became evident when he appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show on September 9‚ 1956. A record-breaking $50‚000 contract was signed for Elvis’ three consecutive appearances on the show. It was well worth the money‚ as his appearances were the most-watched broadcast in the 1950s.  Elvis’ scandals only further boosted his popularity. Every time Elvis performed live‚ audiences went wild‚ especially the women. They would dance and scream to the music and cry for Elvis. Some fainted from hysteria.  Elvis being given a guitar-shaped key to the city by Mayor James L. Ballard when he returned to Tupelo‚ Mississippi. Draft Elvis was drafted into the army in 1957 and began training in 1958. He was stationed in Germany shortly after his mother died in 1958. He served for two years before he was honorably discharged.  The famous singer could have avoided service‚ but Colonel Tom Parker‚ his manager‚ thought it was the perfect way to manage Elvis’ divisive reputation. He was able to record a few songs in between training.  Love When Elvis was posted in Germany‚ he met Priscilla Beaulieu. Her stepfather was in the United States Air Force stationed in the area. She was only 14 years old.  They got married in 1967‚ when Priscilla was 22‚ and had a daughter‚ Lisa Marie.  Elvis and Priscilla were only married for five years‚ but they remained cordial. Elvis’ health started failing just as their marriage was on the rocks.  Elvis Presley at 35‚ 1970 Health Issues By 1973‚ Elvis had overdosed on barbiturates twice. In one incident‚ he was comatose for three days.  Elvis took various prescription drugs. But he did not think he was a junkie because he was getting his narcotics fix from doctors. He was being treated for several chronic conditions‚ including hypertension‚ coronary artery heart disease‚ mild diabetes‚ enlarged colon‚ glaucoma‚ and constipation‚ among others. His own physician said that Elvis only accidentally abused drugs. Despite his serious drug and related health issues‚ Elvis embarked on busy tours that saw him on hundreds of stages over the years.  Photograph of President Nixon and Elvis Presley‚ 12/21/1970‚ shot by Nixon’s chief photographer‚ Ollie Atkins. Courtesy National Archives. The Death of a Rock ‘n Roll Legend On the afternoon of August 16‚ 1977‚ paramedics were called to his $1 million mansion‚ Graceland‚ after Elvis reportedly had difficulty breathing. When the emergency team arrived‚ they found a group of people huddled over a man wearing mismatched pajamas: a yellow top and blue bottoms. He was already cold when paramedics loaded all of his 250 pounds on the ambulance. Medical personnel still tried to revive him when he arrived at the hospital and pronounced him dead at 3:30 pm.  He was only 42 years old.  Official police records noted that Elvis was on the toilet reading when he suddenly had what seemed like a cardiac episode and lunged forward.  Controversy Elvis’ physician‚ Dr. George Nichopoulos‚ did not report a cause of death. Years later‚ it was found that Dr. Nick‚ as most patients called him‚ was responsible for prescribing Elvis more than 19‚000 pills‚ tablets‚ and injectables from January 1975 to August 1977. Nichopoulos reasoned that any other doctor would prescribe Elvis the same because of his many health conditions.  After a two-hour autopsy‚ Dr. Jerry Francisco‚ the medical examiner for the county‚ reported to the press that preliminary findings indicated the cause of death was cardiac arrhythmia‚ with no involvement of drugs. He went so far as to say that Elvis would have passed away even without the cocktail of drugs found in his system. This included high doses of opiates and codeine‚ among others. However‚ it was later revealed that Dr. Francisco made this public statement without the consent of two other pathologists who actually performed the post-mortem examination. He did so at the request of Elvis’s family members‚ who did not want the extent of the legend’s drug addiction to become public. The autopsy reports have been reopened and reexamined several times since‚ and the cause of the cardiac arrhythmia that led to his death remains disputed.  Gone But Never Forgotten The legend’s death didn’t muddle his celebrity status. He died with over 100 hits that charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over 500 million records worldwide. Some of his enduring songs include Can’t Help Falling in Love‚ Jailhouse Rock‚ Burning Love‚ and many more.  Music enthusiasts across all ages and generations have loved his songs. His spirit has been kept alive for decades through his impersonators‚ who are mainstays in Las Vegas. Many movies have also depicted Elvis’ life and career.  It’s been 46 years since Elvis passed‚ but people continue to talk about his legacy. He is undoubtedly a cultural force of the 20th century that changed the face of pop culture and will never be forgotten. The post The Life and Death of American Superstar Elvis Presley first appeared on History Defined.
