On the last day of March my true love came to me and asked for the Russian (Polish) speaking extras to act as the “villagers” being invaded by the US military.
What notably absent here is the demand for some Ukrainian or Belorussian speaking actors, even though they might get the migrant workers from Ukraine mostly.
RT posted more details on this NATO’s open casting call, NATO acting up: Alliance looking for people to portray ‘Russians’ during war drills
The original advertisement in German is here

“Foreign applicants must bring a valid residence permit and work permit. All participants must bring to the use of a valid identity card or passport, a copy of which in the case of Optronic [recruitment companies].“
Anyone who wants to apply, here is the advertisement of the employment Agency. The application is done Online via www.us-statisten.de/registration.html about the company Optronic HR GmbH, Maria-Merian-Str. 8, 85521 Ottobrunn, contact@us-statisten.de. The dazugehörge cipher is 10000-1152039603-S.
In the Whois Record for Us-Statisten.de domain, the company names itself as ” Civilians on the Battlefield (COB) – Optronic”
According to WIFCON, the federal contracting source for procurement laws, regulations, board of contract appeals and court decisions, the US military solicitation for Civilians on the Battlefield (COB), requires that the contractor provide role-playing actors that interact with United States armed forces. As the agency explains, the COB role players are “critical.”
Previously, the US Department of the Army for Civilians on the Battlefield (COB) in Hohenfels, Germany, awarded the similar contract to Optronics in 2009, a “contract that was terminated on the same day after Optronics advised that it could not fulfill the requirements of the contract.” Such contracts are being managed by the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps)
The US military contractors are required to self-certify that their firms could provide “vetted COBs in place for the start of the contract,” where fully vetted COBs meant that the COBs had undergone a German Polizi and Military Intelligence investigation within the last 180 days and it was still valid.”
As the Bid Protest weekly indicates for the 2008-2009 contract, “… fully vetted COBs were necessary to this solicitation, … due to the security and safety factors inherent in civilians having access to military operations… Furthermore, the short timeline in which to provide vetted COBs was also not an unreasonable requirement because the existing contract was nearing expiration and the troops were preparing for imminent deployment.”
Currently, Optronic GMBH & Co KG Opto-Elektronische Geräte Aalen Baden-Württemberg (DBA Optronic) is currently under contract #W912PB14D3016 NAICS classification 561320 Temporary Help Services, titled ROLE PLAYERS FOR FIELD EXERCISES IN TRAINING AREA for the Department of the Army.
The company has been fulfilling this contract starting with the 5/15/14, contract ends at 5/15/17 (3 years).

No military in the history of the world has been more widely deployed as the United States.
Currently, the United States has military personnel deployed in about 150 Countries… This covers 75% of The World’s Nations.
In 2009 there were 516,273 U.S. military service members in approximately 150 foreign countries.
According to Tim Kane, author of the Global U.S. Troop Deployment study and a former fellow at The Heritage Foundation, following World War II, Germany was considered the main battleground for a potential World War III.
From 1950-2000 The United States has had over 118,800,000 active duty personnel serve for at least 1 year in the military
- During that same time frame over 22% (27,300,000 men & women) served or were deployed overseas.
- Since 1950, 56 Countries have hosted at least 1,000 American troops at one point.
- The largest amount of active duty personnel stationed overseas was during the Vietnam War in 1968 when over 1,082,777 troops were deployed on foreign soil.
- The lowest amount of active duty personnel deployed occurred in 1999 when 206,003 troops were stationed on foreign soil.
Since January 2017 with the arrival of the U.S. Army’s 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division Currently the US conducting the largest deployment of U.S. troops since Cold War in Germany, Poland, as well as Romania, Bulgaria, Germany and across the Baltics. Along with the United States, other NATO members will increase their military deployments in eastern Europe. Britain has deployed fighter jets to patrol the Black Sea and a division of French and Danish troops are being deployed to Estonia. Germany will deploy its forces to the regions near the Russian borders around Ukraine and Belarus.
A few comments for the RT article that are worth re-posting:
“I live in US and I was getting called up by some company that saw my old resume online which mentions i speak Russian, to participate in “roleplay” for US marines on a military base as a Russian. Basically get a fake AK-47 and do what they ask in order to help them train for their war drills. They were mostly interested in Chechens though, so I guess that’s their area of interest…
Before you know it, it’d be that Russian troops, real or fake, have started an offensive against NATO who will be launching a counter-offensive against evil Russian aggressors. Who would know any better?
No,they will video the “drill” and then later use it as evidence of “Russia’s aggression”. They dont need ethnic Russians nor people speaking Russian for drills/simulation
They’re looking for traitors to help them train to attack Russia, or dupes for false flags, either way, don’t do it.
Did you know that in the ENTIRE UK military they only have TWO people who speak Russian? Probably the same story in United Snowflakia. That is a very good indicator of HATO preparedness.
It shows that Russian people are not mercenaries.
NATO is offering jobs to Russian-speaking actors ready to play civilians in the alliance’s military drills, according to a job advertisement on the official website for the city of Berlin.
And the videos of the drills will pop up later as evidence of “Russia’s aggression”.
Try a new trick – we already know this one
Like ISIS , where you PAY people to pretend they are the enemy.
They are not yet training for the invasion of Russia. They are preparing the ethnic cleansing of the Russian speaking population from the Baltics.
Pre-selection for a false flag.”
My previous article on the NATO staging an alternative reality of the “Russian invasion” of the Baltic republic and filming it:

Comments: Dima Basakin: “Nicolay, it has a look of being a draft to the SBU…”
Dmitry Shadespansky: “Dima, I made some enquires, they are legit.”
A simple search yields that Elena Avdienko-Sahno works for the Modeling Agency “SONCE.”
The owner of the Sonce Agency is Sergey Chudowski, who lists as his education a university degree in Clinical Psychiatry.
In 2009 he staged a very curious human experienced that showed him as a Game Player.
He took a group of female journalists and trained them in his master-class into “psychologically turning themselves into fashion models, literally “enter the life form of a model,” as a part of their professional dispatch to “change their profession” remembering that the journalist is “akin to an actor.”
This just one example of NATO using clinically trained psychiatrists to make people to believe that they are something someone else, to turn themselves into different people and to act accordingly.
===============
After unauthorized demonstrations organized by non-systemic “opposition” in Russia on March 26th with many underage children involved, there are multiple testimonies of witnesses saying that the organizers gave children tea laced with powerful mind-altering substances.
Here is a story of a college student who came to the Navalny’s organization headquarter and was offered tea. He was arrested by trying to slash the police cruiser tires. He had a violent allergic reaction to drugs he was given, throwing up repeatedly, after that he was taken to the hospital where he went into anaphylactic shock. They saved his life. The last thing he remembers was drinking tea before losing his memory. He doesn’t remember where he went and what he had done.
There are also multiple credible witnesses, including the journalists of the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, Alexander Kots and Dmitry Steshin, who were on Maidan in Kiev, that similar tea laced with drugs were also used by the Maidan protesters, which made it possible for them to stay outside in December-January-February for weeks. Afterwards, many were diagnosed with drug addiction, and organ damage.

Also being filmed, civilians dressed as Russian soldiers invading German towns. They will leave that part until late in wk 2 as quitting early on is easy.

I wonder when MSM first confuses these tapes with actual “news”?
Whenever they will be told to.
Ужас. I have a very uneasy, nasty feeling about these drills. This is absolutely terrible.
I really hope people will not act for them. How low can someone fall to participate in this farce?

Russia Being Forced to Enter Confrontation With NATO – Moscow
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201703311052175826-russia-nato-confrontation/
“We are being practically pressured to assume a confrontational paradigm of relations based on the logic of a military standoff,” the ministry said in a statement commenting on the results of the recent Russia-NATO Council meeting at the level of ambassadors in Brussels.
“Once again, NATO showed that it puts its ideological dogmas ahead of real work on resolving global problems,” the ministry said in a statement commenting on the results of the recent Russia-NATO Council meeting at the level of ambassadors in Brussels.
“The conclusion is that only a fundamental change of the nature of the Alliance, which has been hopelessly stuck in its own past, could bring about a chance for improvement of the European security situation,” the statement said.”
Let us hope that the death-throes of NATO become its actual death, before they can, however feebly and desperately, start WW3. All it will take is one fake incident and then the button-pushers. relatives of the pen-pushers, will start doing their oh-so-difficult and demanding job of…pushing buttons and ‘carrying out orders’.
I also firmly hope that all NATO operatives and their enablers will be hunted down, shot and tried for endangering the very existence of the human race and the planet.
Hell, I would cheer if they were shot now and tried ‘in absentia’ from the planet but I know that only good people are assassinated.
It looks like we may be witnessing Talmudo-Satanism’s last stand.
” >> Once again, NATO showed that it puts its ideological dogmas ahead of real work on resolving global problems >>, the ministry said in a statement commenting on the results of the recent Russia-NATO Council meeting at the level of ambassadors in Brussels.”
Wrong. NATO’s ideological dogmas stem precisely from a — mostly correct — perception of what the global problems are in the eyes of the Zionazi Western plutocracy. However much one so desires, Satan cannot and will not be delivered from evil. Amen.
ha! idiot EUropeans. while they waste time in useless roleplaying games, soros/US wil send them
another million or two of rapefugees.
and another one the next year … etc.
till EU economies implode.
will they shoot at actors?
They shoot horses, don’t they?
yes, if they try to flee.
War has been decided by the banksters 3 years ago with the goal of a financial reset(as a diversion).Trump or not, this war will ago ahead.
There will be a second ‘maidan’ in Moscow this sunday(at least they will try and then double down if necessary).They know it is their last chance to get rid off Putin before the election in 2018.They will transfert the 2018 football/soccer world cup from Russia to the UK(they already started their PR campaign).Today Tillerson received on ‘ovation’ at the NATO meeting when he talks about ‘russian agression,Crimea etc’.More sanctions are coming soon(see link below).
They made statements about Assad ‘may stay’..yes just for a while,as they will occupy northern Syria and allow the Qatar pipeline to go through.
When their fake ‘ISIS’ attack on Raqqa will end(2018?if ever)they will be back with ‘Assad must go’.
Greater Israel project must go ahead otherwise their master Bibi will not be happy.
We must be prepared for war,it will be in the Donbass as Crimea is maybe too dangerous as NATO folks talk a lot but do very little.

“New Cold War? Well, maybe even worse… taking into account the actions of the present presidential administration in Washington,” Peskov said when asked by the anchorman whether Russia and the United States were in a new Cold War.
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201703311052162182-kremlin-cold-war-trump/
De nouvelles sanctions antirusses «pour des actions agressives» pourraient être imposées.
(new sanctions imposed?)
The bill includes three types of sanctions. Thus, sanctions could be applied to those suspected by US special cyber attacks. Similarly, this type of sanction could also include companies accused of cooperating with the Russian intelligence services or the defense sector.
The second part of the draft presupposes the codification by Congress of the sanctions already imposed on Russia following the accession of the Crimea, which will considerably complicate their lifting. At the same time, new financial penalties would be introduced, notably in the areas of oil and natural gas production, Russian pipeline construction, nuclear projects, Russia’s sovereign debt purchase and participation In the privatization of Russian companies.

It’s clever of them to try to make such war exercises realistic — they should also have Russian spetsnaz troops equipped with the latest Ratnik weapons and Russian air support, the new armored vehicles, of course. Wonder why they left that out? They wouldn’t want NATO troops to be naively led to slaughter, do they?
They wouldn’t want NATO troops to be naively led to slaughter, do they?
Maybe a year ago I had read a real smart comment that might answer your question. The author wrote that dead people can’t make claims against insurance companies / banks. Since probably many of the NATO troops are policy holders, it would be a terrific opportunity for insurance companies and banks to get rid of those claims. So, however a military conflict ends, either by gaining new assets or by the loss of the own soldiers, it’s always a win-win situation for the money changers.

Central Casting have been excelling themselves recently selecting Generals Breedlove and Votel for staring roles as Dr Strangelove – type casting brilliance. So it was a tad disappointing to see a hunk, General Scaparrotti, selected as one of the Supremes. But there be a beast behind every handsome cool dude, so congrats the casting directors again for picking Russian speakers as the peasants, three square meals a day no wifi, fatten them up for cannon fodder. Well done.
NATO needs to hire some “crisis actors” from one of America’s many false-flag domestic terror incidents like San Bernardino, Orlando, Aurora Colorado, or Sandy Hook.
Some of the crisis actors have some real acting chops and certainly deserving of Academy Award consideration!

Moved comment regarding Serbian/Nato bombing to Cafe … Mod-hs
I’ll quote a part of the article that’s a quotation itself, so don’t wonder about quotation marks appearing twice. In order to get my point across I’ve highlighted part of the text in bold letters.
The planners of this maneuver seem to think that the readers of this job ad are extremely stupid. Why should any Afghan speak Russian?!? Thanks to the more than a decade long occupation of that country many citizens of Afghanistan probably are able to speak English rather than Russian.
In cases like this there’s no whistleblower needed to recognize the real intentions of the military planners: they either intend a provocation / destabilization of Russian speaking countries by adding “pressure” or – even worse – prepare for a suicidal invasion of those countries.
What’s this hullabaloo all about? The dear fellows are only advertising for extras for a film/doco/advert or some other innocent past-time pretence of merry-making and fun. Do you think all those bemedalled NATO generals or CIA specoperatives would splash ads all over place to do their shenanigans and other misfeasances? No, they are too clever by half to do such silly thing as to announce to all and sundry their coming misdeeds. They are not that stupid… or are they?
My opinion is that it is a diversion to keep the KGB off scent, busy and confused and have a good laugh for their maladroitness and naivety while chasing wild geese.
Cheers
How many of you pontificating on this thread have actually served in the tip of the spear? Training of any troops is very important, not only the basics but FTX, Field Training Exercises.
Here’s a little truism. Back when Mr. Reagan became President some bright light high up in what was at the time the wreckage of the US Armed Forces came up with the idea of using soldiers who were or had served in foreign military formations to train US troops. Reason? We think differently and use different tactics compared to the US Armed Forces.
At that time the idea of ‘opposition forces’ in US was take half your platoon, have them reverse their field blouses and have at it. Problems? They speak the same language as the ‘defending’ half, they use the same weapons, the same tactics, the same everything, and they know each other. Waste of time and money.
In short order, and I don’t know who gave the order on either side, we were operating as an OpFor unit from time to time against US Army and US Marines. Training was intense and we had either DDR or Sov uniforms and weapons (our own) and once the operation started we spoke zero English unless something got out of hand. It took three months to plan and coordinate each operation and the ops generally lasted two weeks, sometimes longer, and all in USA or Germany.
The US troops learned quickly and before the op actually commenced in the field we gave them a touchy-feely about our weapons, uniforms and equipment. The AAR’s were all excellent and we did train them very well. No violent physical contact was one of the most important rules of the engagements, that and don’t steal us blind if we were taken prisoner, which did happen from time to time.
What were the advantages of the training? The US troops got agressed by foreign units and got to hear what sounded like the real thing as far as weapons were concerned during the engagements. For instance, a Colt on blank fire sounds like a baby’s hiccup. One of Comrade Kalashnikov’s finest on the other hand sounds like the real thing on blank fire, just as loud and just as sharp. Also, there’s not much more frightening to new or inexperienced troops than to be hit with sudden and loud violence at 03:00 promulgated by soldiers screaming at them in a, to them, incomprehensible language and who would shoot them on the spot if they did not for instance react to ‘hands up or die!’ in Russian.
There were times even back then when local civilians were brought in as ‘extras’ or to muddy the waters and a few of our people would play the part of locals and speak not a word of English. Were they civilians are partizani? Who knew and their task was to confuse the troops and expose them to the real world.
All in all the hard work and expense was worth all the trouble but at the beginning of the Clinton regime training money suddenly got ‘lost’. Within 6 months of the regime coming to power the joint effort was terminated, no official explanation but the undercurrent was all spies.
Hi, Auslander,
Thank you. Very interesting.
However… In this particular case, it’s not troops being divided into the Red and Blue Teams.
NATO uses Russian speakers as civilian unarmed targets for Romanian and Polish soldiers.
These people wear infrared tracking devices, to compute how many of them would be wounded and killed.
In other words, troops are not being trained to fight other troops. They are being trained against Russian civilians.
Why?
Does NATO expect Russian civilian invasion of Germany and Poland?
Civilians are certainly the primary targets of the Anglo-Zionist Empire. That is how you can be certain that AlCIAda/ISIS is directed by the Leaders of the Free World.
This quote may have something to do with it.
“The chief task of the USA is now the depopulation of the Third World.” Henry Kissinger.
That is the Prime Directive of the Anglo-Zionist Empire.
That, and not some rubbish out of the Fascist brain of Gene Rottenberry.
the natural rhymes of military training, and many other points, suggest OTAN intends to attack between 15 and 20 September…
and Comrade Lavrov has made it plain that Russ accepts the doctrine of pre-emptive self-defense as consonant with the UN Charter and International law…
Thanks, Auslander – there’s reality on the point…and then there’s speculation…
Is obvious that Barbarossa 2.0 is “on”
The affair of Trump probably fouled up the schedule… As has happened in the past

I understand your point, but as Scott pointed out, the actors were to be civilians. This is supposed to be training nato sludge on taking Russian speaking countries and then being their occupiers.
My guess this is training for preparation to occupy countries with significant numbers of Russian speakers in the former Russian republics, who are now states. Central Asia, especially.
“All in all the hard work and expense was worth all the trouble but at the beginning of the Clinton regime training money suddenly got ‘lost’. Within 6 months of the regime coming to power the joint effort was terminated, no official explanation but the undercurrent was all spies.”
The beginning of the clinton regime also saw the beginning of the quisling Yeltsin regime. The israeloamericans thought Russia was done.
@ Scott
Excellent take on this obviously false flag in making.
It reminds me of other things that happened every time SU/Russia was hosting some major international event like Olympics/Football Games.
The FIFA 2018 is coming up, hence the need for another provocation. Time to boycott the event.
This script never fails. Just like Ukraine before Sochi.
On the other hand, I am not sure if 88 euros is a good pay for being kicked around even if it may be “pretend”.
