Natalia Kiriushcheva has been silent for a year - perhaps the Empire has stricken back. This is from February 2016:
"I think that the majority of authors of numerous articles about observation of gravitational waves ("Einstein Was Right!") did not read Einstein's 1916 paper or aware about his views on existence of gravitational waves in his General Theory of Relativity or read his scientific autobiographies written in the last years of his life to contemplate on important (in his opinion) scientific results. But they are definitely aware about his famous "God does not play dice", and with respect to this statement, after announcement of the GW discovery, we can unambiguously declare that Einstein Was Right!"

"Einstein pointed out in this paper that its result is not general, it is valid only under assumption that the gravitational field is weak and only linear coordinate transformations (a linearized version of the general coordinate transformations of GR) can be applied to these (linearized) equations. Einstein also did not predict in this paper "that two celestial bodies in orbit will generate invisible ripples in spacetime that experts call gravitational waves", as BI claims. He was talking about "the system" that radiates energy, without specifying what kind of system it is. Eintein returned to the question whether gravitational waves exist many times during his life.. We have already wrote about that on our blog and also in our scientific papers, and will continue to do this with hope to attract attention of (at least) the general public to Einstein and to the 'discovery' that now is attached to his name."

"So, I found truly astonishing your statement "GW have been observed with astonishing precision following directly from GR equations". This is a topic not for science reporters but for investigative journalists ("accountability reporting"). Putting all jokes aside, these observations cannot be qualified as a discovery according to the science standards. [...] ...a very similar (but with different colours) pictures can be found in LIGO, blind injection (please, compareā¦.did they know about the 2015 signal or what should be observed?). It was on September 16, 2010, when the blind-injection test was run (even the PRL paper was ready but, unlike this year, only by the middle of March of 2011, after a vote of all collaborators whether it is a discovery or not. Vivat democracy! Death of science). Perhaps this time it is also a blind-injection made by a GW- fundamentalist to fulfill the someone (not Einstein's) prophecy. Thousands of people are involved in this project (all of them are the GW believers)! But this is question for the homeland security."
