The local forces had not even established a security cordon around the school, thanks to the mismanagement of Dzasokhov

There were hundreds upon hundreds of locals and parents many of whom were armed.  That hardly strikes me as a desirable thing to have.  Those people should have been pulled back and full security cordon thrown up if for no other reason that to avoid a random crazed parent or group of them attacking the school.

Because he failed to do that, by the time the FSB turned up those people did not want to move and that made their job doubly difficult.

You are dealing with ѕυιcιdє terrorists with 1100 hostages, nearly 800 of them children.  They were armed to the teeth and dearly determined to die.  With a sh!t sandwich like that there is no way you are going to come out with less than 100 dead and you could have easily lost 60 percent.

The Western world has a policy of negotiating with terrorists to save every possible life.  The Russians don't have that policy.  Their top priority is to kill the terrorists and then to save as many hostages a possible.

Hard, yes, but I can see an upside to it.  How many Russian ships have been attacked by Somali Pirates recently?  How many hostage situations has Russia faced in the last 10 years after the Moscow Theatre and Beslan?

Sister Elena Aiello [+1961] who is of great renown for her prophecies was told by Our Lady: "My Heart is sad for so many sufferings in an impending world in ruin . . . The wrath of God is near. Soon the world will be afflicted with great calamities, bloody revolutions, frightful hurricanes and the overflowing of rivers and the seas . . . the world will be overturned in a new and more terrible war. Arms most deadly will destroy peoples and nations. The dictators of the earth, specimens infernal, will demolish the churches and desecrate the Holy Eucharist, and will destroy things most dear. In this impious war, much will be destroyed of that which has been built by the hands of man . . .

   "Another terrible war will come from the east to the west. Russia with her secret armies will battle America; will overrun Europe. The river Rhine will be overflowing with corpses and blood. Italy, also, will be harassed by a great revolution, and the Pope will suffer terribly . . .

   "Russia will march upon all the nations of Europe, particularly Italy, and will raise her flag over the dome of St. Peter's. Italy will be severely tried by a great revolution and Rome will be purified for its many sins, especially those of impurity . . ." In the apparition of Our Lady of Good Success, which took place on February 2, 1634, the Mother of God revealed to Mother Mary Anne of Jesus Torres: "there will be a terrible war in which the blood of priests and of religious will flow . . . wickedness will seem triumphant." The same was foretold by Sister Rose Asdente of Taggia [+1847]: "There shall be great confusion of people 'against people, and nations against nations. The Russians," she explains, "shall come to make war on Italy . . . Priests and religious shall be butchered and the earth, especially in Italy, shall be watered with their blood ..."

Sister Lucy elaborated this topic on December 26, 1957, saying to Father Fuentes: "Tell them Father that many times the Most Holy Virgin told my cousins Francisco and Jacinta, as well as myself, that many nations will disappear from the face of the earth. She said that Russia will be the instrument of chastisement chosen by Heaven to punish the whole world if we do not beforehand obtain the conversion of that poor nation."

It appears that the world today is truly "on the verge of a frightful abyss". The prophetic revelations made to Sister Elena Aiello confirm the earlier prophecies of St. John Bosco, Blessed Anna Maria Taigi and others that there will be a great war waged against the Western nations by Russia, China and the Islamic nations.  

While I respect both Fr. Gruner and Fr. Kramer, they seem to have modified somewhat the earlier perspective they had on Russia. Namely, that on account of the negligence of the authorities to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart, God would use Russia to chastise the west before her conversion. Do they now view prophecies such as that below, cited by them earlier, as purely conditional? From http://www.catholictradition.org/Mary/fatima6b.htm

I think Communist ideology plagiarized some ideas from Christianity that would be very popular among most if people were not so sinful today and distorted them. Here's one of the examples of the ideas they have stolen to compete with us, Jesus and The True Church were the true inventors of Welfare. It is a stolen banner:

Proverbs 19:17

"Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed."

Matthew 5:42

"Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you."

Luke 14:12-14

"He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”

Proverbs 22:9

"Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor."

Back in Christendom when the church and the state were one. The Church provided the welfare. Jesus himself taught us to be humble when we can and to help the poor. The tithings were used for welfare services to fund the church, assist and provide aid to the poor. The poor received free medical care and free food from The Church if they couldn't afford it to survive.

What has happened is that Socialists want to replace the role of The Church with the party or the state. They have created their own atheistic godless counterpart which sometimes leads to the worship of the state or leader even. Copying the system of Christendom and distorting it to create an atheist counterpart. Taxing the population is their counterpart of tithing.
