Is there supposed to be something after the heading?
It’s just today’s news video
I don’t see anything either.
Just use your imagination
Just click on the arrow to see the news video. That’s all there is.
the arrow
where art thou arrow? Shakespeare asks..
IE11 shows no stinkin arrow..
hover over the middle of the image to maybe see a big arrow,k to start the video playing. How have you been watching other videos lately? Or get yourself a better browser, like Chrome or FireFox or Yandex.
Or just use the Youtube version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3EGExsfvKg
What image?
hi – different moderator this time. What I get when I go to ‘Ukrainian crisis news …’ article is a ‘youtube’ window, ‘arrow in the middle’ and an image of a destroyed building?? Do you see the same or is it completely blank if blank what browser are you using??
I could see the video from the first day…I think everybody can watch the video.
I used to see the video in older posts and it does show up with opera just checked but not IE11 updates I did last week I think so not sure if that was it or there was a site change. To download with FDM you need IE working to get the link to watch later on.. Cant tell 50 million people go get some other browser to watch it. They would think it is just a blank page with nothing on it. All the other icons on the right side and top shows up.
I have changed the link to that YouTube video. Until now a shortcut version of that link was used. Now the full link is in use. Can you please check again and see whether that problem remains for you?
sorry still cant see it. But a direct link to youtube and the window shows up there. Have to check it again with new post as caching might not update some stuff.
Senator: Don’t Use Obamacare or Russian Mobsters Will Steal Your Identity
‘Start Killing Russians’: Outrageous Outburst by Fox News Military Analyst
To gain recognition with the Israeli-American oligarchy, it’s imperative to be more adolescent gay than the rest of the crowd. And show undivided loyalty to Israel, of course.
Just under either of these two Sputnik articles is a mighty interesting link to “Greek Minister ‘Ready’ to Sign WWII Reparation Order for Nazi Massacre”, http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150311/1019352283.html !
In a nutshell, the Greek government is threatening Germany that it will officially enact the Greek high court ruling from 2000, allowing seizure of German property in Greece as a compensation for the unpaid German WWII reparations: Greece now wants up to €332 billion from Germany!!!
So, it seems that Greeks hold some cards in their present standoff with the EU. Can they and will they use them?…
Q: …for the unpaid German WWII reparations
R: Does anyone know how much ‘reparations’ German did pay over the past 70 years [not including deadly submarines and tank engines to the Apartheid State]?
70 years… and still going strong. Wow…
Germany probably has some beautiful Greek statues.
They are talking about a couple of (so far) pieces of German owned property in Greece.What hasn’t been mentioned .And what I think should be talked about,is the German owned bank loans.I don’t know how much actual German owned “property” there is in Greece to seize.But we all know much of the Greek debts are held by German owned banks.So it would seem to me that should be the “property” to start with.
It’s actually a bigger issue. The postwar order of Western Europe rests on a pact: The victims of Germany forego justice, and in turn, get stuff Germany makes. The question was how to pay? The Hegemon said: “We’ll talk about that later.”
Later is now.
actually a global research article linked.
“honorary appearance” by senator mcpain, aka lawrence of arizonia.
Belhadj served the US cause in Libya so well that he can be seen receiving accolades from Sen. John McCain who referred to Belhadj and his followers as heroes. He was initially rewarded after the fall of Gaddafi with the post of military commander of Tripoli, though he was forced to give way to a more politically palatable “transitional government” which has since evaporated in that chaotic, war-ravaged country.

US Sending Drones and Armored Humvees to Ukraine
Speaking on condition of anonymity, an official told Reuters that the US is preparing a shipment of unmanned Raven drones. These UAV’s are nonlethal and can easily be launched by hand.
The package will also contain over 200 military Humvees, 30 of which will be heavily armored.
Also included will be an assortment of radios and counter mortar radars. The estimated value of the equipment is $75 million, though that estimate does not include the Humvees.
The aid could arrive in the Ukraine within weeks.

A direct threat to Syria of war.
This is from 11 March and probably is barely the tip of the iceberg of aggressive actions undertaken by the ZPC/NWO oligarchy on just this one day. It literally is like revisiting the late 1930’s when Hitler’s nazis continued to increase their aggressive behaviour leading up to WW2. I don’t really see any difference between the two other than the pace of the present zionazi/nazi aggressive behaviour is faster.
BOT – it is ominous.

If that’s true then – even if space weapons existed and with first strike capability – the empire can never have a balance of destructive power (against even a small band of nuclear armed sleepers).

It’s not micro nukes, or even huge ones. It’s the hubris of zionist Jewish and other fascist oligarchs who want to present an illusion that they are untouchable, but know full well they are not and are desperate to keep their vulnerabilities hidden.
Thanks BOT – I hope it is an illusion only.
I said in email to my friend:
“I understand the family / friends priority – i’m the same. The problem becomes when, as you once said, we have to trust our leaders are acting in our best interest. What if it transpires that they were only acting only in their own best interest. If , as a result, a nuclear warhead, for example, explodes in Belfast and your loved ones die an excruciating and long radiation poisoning death over the head of it then would you [us all] not have been better trying to influence events.
It’s why I feel so strongly about it.
I understand that most people don’t [yourself included]. I’d be lying to say that doesn’t frustrate me.
People fight and kill each other at the whim of their “leaders” without considering if they are being used – millions of people, tens of millions of people. Perhaps 100’s of millions or billions will die the next time. So not only am I frustrated but it is actually very important for our individual preservation [and those we truly love] that we don’t abdicate responsibility but rather question, question, question…”
Yes, part pf US “invincability” is Hollywood. It’s a fantasy in the future: you should join us because in fuiture we are going to control this and this and this. It’s lie financial speculation– always fantasizing about the future.
The off thing is that they’ve probably hastened their own downfall thru the Ukraine coup & op. W/o it they wd’ve continued on for awhile.
Putin is not going to use nukes. He’s been working on minimizing damage, on knocking out missiles long before they get to their destination. Knocking out communications, that ALL the fancy computer-controlled radar-aimed remote control gear depends on.
Russia has its own GPS satellite system. Just a few months ago they sent up 34 more satellites. Little ones. What are those doing? watching….watching…. and knowing the precise coordinates…..
“He’s been working on minimizing damage, on knocking out missiles long before they get to their destination.”
If Mr Duff is correct they are already there – all you need is a bunch of (expendable) kids with pea-shooters.
Backpack nukes have existed for a long-time so I see no reason to believe miniaturisation has not occurred.
If so a bigger question is what motivates the maintenance of large conventional forces.
Mr Duff openly admits to making up at least 25% of what he writes, so he is not exactly the most reliable source.
Briefcase or backpack nukes have been rumoured for a long time, but nobody has actually seen one. However, same as with other bombs, the size of the explosion is in proportion to the size of the bomb. There is little point in a tiny nuke that does less damage, in a smaller area, than your average Grad rocket (and the radioactivity wouldn’t spread very far either).
Anyway you don’t need mini nukes for zapping someone else’s big nuke missiles. You need SPEED in identifying them and ACCURACY in knocking them down, in the 6 to10 minutes they take to get to your city. If you can set up electronic jamming to stop them sending any more, that’s a big help too.
Do you think he wrote this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suitcase_nuke – 6 kiloton is nearly one third of a Nagasaki.
With these you don’t need big nukes.
“Russian
The highest-ranking GRU defector Stanislav Lunev claimed that such Russian-made devices do exist and described them in more detail.[6] These devices, “identified as RA-115s (or RA-115-01s for submersible weapons)” weigh from fifty to sixty pounds. They can last for many years if wired to an electric source. In case there is a loss of power, there is a battery backup. If the battery runs low, the weapon has a transmitter that sends a coded message—either by satellite or directly to a GRU post at a Russian embassy or consulate.” According to Lunev, the number of “missing” nuclear devices (as found by General Lebed) “is almost identical to the number of strategic targets upon which those bombs would be used.”[6]
Lunev suggested that suitcase nukes might be already deployed by the GRU operatives on US soil to assassinate US leaders in the event of war.[6] He alleged that arms caches were hidden by the KGB in many countries for the planned terrorism acts. They were booby-trapped with “Lightning” explosive devices. One such cache, identified by Vasili Mitrokhin, exploded when Swiss authorities sprayed it with a high pressure water gun in a wooded area near Bern. Several others caches were removed successfully.[7] Lunev said that he had personally looked for hiding places for weapons caches in the Shenandoah Valley area[6] and that “it is surprisingly easy to smuggle nuclear weapons into the US” either across the Mexican border or using a small transport missile that can slip undetected when launched from a Russian airplane.[6]”
So???
If the whole point of shooting down a nuclear missile is to PREVENT NUCLEAR WAR, why would you use a nuke to bring it down with?
Or are you trying to say that, if they use backpack nukes, they’d not have to use missiles that can be shot down? and therefore there’s no defense against a nuclear strike?
What is this war supposed to achieve? destruction? taking territory? killing people for the sake of it? getting the other side to give up? what??? then look at how you’d achieve that and how the others would defend against it. I don’t think you’ll find a lot of suitcase bombs in the plan. At best they are good for someone to extract a huge ransom for not using it, but there we’re moving into deep Hollywood or James Bond territory..
I already said that:
“With these you don’t need big nukes.”
to that i’ll add:
you don’t need any missile delivery systems.
There is no defence possible from either side – nor is there any possibility of win by first strike since the weapons are already in pace to retaliate.
Since they both know that neither side can win by force what is the purpose of large conventional forces & nuclear missile delivery systems?
If 3 backpacks can do this:
“The firestorm in Hiroshima ultimately destroyed 13 square kilometres (5 square miles) of the city. Almost 63% of the buildings in Hiroshima were completely destroyed after the bombing and nearly 92% of the structures in the city had been either destroyed or damaged by blast and fire.
Estimates of total deaths in Hiroshima have generally ranged between 100,000 and 180,000, out of a population of 350,000.”
16 ktons

The last reliable news about nukes ended in the 1960’s. So everything after that is speculative.
But we can just use Davy Crockett as an example and extrapolate from that.
The M-388 round used a version of the W54 warhead, a very small sub-kiloton fission device. The Mk-54 weighed about 51 lb (23 kg), with a yield equivalent to somewhere between 10 or 20 tons of TNT— very close to the minimum practical size and yield for a fission warhead. The only selectable feature with either versions of the Davy Crockett (M28 & M29) was the height-of-burst dial on the warhead. Post-Davy Crockett versions of the W54 nuclear device apparently had a selectable yield feature (see below for Hi/Lo Switch and Launching Piston references.) The complete round weighed 76 lb (34.5 kg). It was 31 in. (78.7 cm) long with a diameter of 11 in. (28 cm) at its widest point; a subcaliber piston at the back of the shell was inserted into the launcher’s barrel for firing.[1] The “piston” was considered a spigot prior to the discharge of the propellant cartridge in the recoilless gun chamber of the Davy Crockett. The M-388 atomic projectile was mounted on the barrel-inserted spigot via bayonet slots. Once the propellant was discharged the spigot became the launching piston for the M-388 atomic projectile. The nuclear yield is hinted at in FM 9-11: Operation and Employment of the Davy Crockett Battlefield Missile, XM-28/29 (June 1963).
Mk-54 (SADM) — variable yield 10 ton to 1 kiloton, Special Atomic Demolition Munition device
If they had that 50 years ago, what do you think they have now? This alone could fit inside a backpack and could be carried by most men. With super computers that can model almost anything, they can design very exotic devices which we cant even dream off. Who would have thought a nuke with the power of like a truck bomb. Made 50 years ago.
Thanks mmiriww
that confirms my suspicion and therefore leaves the question open:
“Since they both know that neither side can win by force what is the purpose of large conventional forces & nuclear missile delivery systems?”

For the record, here’s a link to:

Do you remember when one night a mega blast happened in Donetsk(supposed to be in an amunitions factory?).Some youtube videos showed like a mushroom,with a very big blast hearded up to 20 kms + around.On one of the video,the girl watching by the window suddenly got the blast,and the window exploded,she was several kms from the scene.It could have been some kind of tactical nuke or if not nuke maybe some new type of weapon we don’t know yet.The day after Obama called Putin during one hour,which is quiet long,with reports on the MSM after, that Obama threatened Putin with some action(?).
Then suddenly we got the trip to Moscow from Merkhollande….maybe I’m wrong but who knows?And the truce..

Yes, and I also remember nutcases then claiming it was a nuke. Isn’t there a new busted up weather balloon in Roswell for you lot to investigate? ;D
That was no nuke, but just an old Luna rocket.
That secret is way out in the open. Google up pictures of 911 twin towers collapsing and focus on what happens to the bits as they fall. Watch very carefully and if you contest my view please explain how it is that steel beams turn to dust.
Then Google Judy Wood and follow that thread.
As much as 9/11 was a pretext to introduce a police state in USA, and start wars of aggression in the middle east, it was also a demonstration to the rest of the world of a weapons system.
As an ex electrical tradesman and specialist in vibration analysis and problem solving I have no problem accepting that resonance can be used as a weapon. Its all just a matter of finding the right tone and a means to deliver it to its target.
Then in 1994, the US confirmed this policy with the Spratt-Furse law, which prevents US military from developing mini-nukes of less than five kilotons. But the development of a new weapon that spans the gap between the explosive power of nuclear and conventional weapons would remove this restraint, giving commanders a way of increasing the amount of force they can use in a series of small steps. Nuclear-isomer weapons could be a major advantage to armies possessing them, leading to the possibility of an arms race.
André Gsponer, director of the Independent Scientific Research Institute in Geneva, believes that a nation without such weapons would not be able to fight one that possesses them. As a result, he says, “many countries which will not have access to these weapons will produce nuclear weapons as a deterrent”, leading to a new cycle of proliferation.

@ BOT TAK,
Q: It literally is like revisiting the late 1930’s when Hitler’s nazis continued to increase their aggressive behaviour leading up to WW2.
R: I think you’re wrong in your comparison here. Not that I’m advocating the lovey-dove side of prewar Germany, but Germany faced, what they thought of as a ‘communist’ threat at home as well as abroad.
Reich’s Chancellor Hitler appointed Joachim von Ribbentrop as German ambassador to the UK and Ireland in 1936 for a reason. Of course, we’re only taught about ‘nazis‘ and Germany does not have a history before 1940.
One thing I do not understand though, you seem to be very much against zionism, yet you are [like I was before] a zionist parrot when you keep mentioning the word ‘nazis‘. Perhaps the following will shed some light on the use of this twisted word; Exposing the “Nazi” Epithet – Who started it, why, how, and who benefits
Life in the Third Reich gives in in-depth insight into Germany before WWII.
Even Jews around he globe didn’t use the word ‘nazi’ before WWII.
As per usual, life is more complicated than a few rods.
rods= wordsDaniel Rich
One doesn’t have to be pro-nazi and anti-Red to be anti-zionist.
@ BOT TAK,
Q; One doesn’t have to be pro-nazi and anti-Red to be anti-zionist.

it means that normal people can be anit-zionist…can’t you do math >?
@ Ann,
Q; it means that normal people can be anit-zionist…can’t you do math >?

And I still suck…
But at least you could suck with a smile…
:)=
Your last comment (and pictograms) was good, and brought a smile to my face.
This a game of semantics. Either people are working against the Zio-banksters or they are not. The monetary and socioeconomic results will be very obvious. At that point, others can play into the divide-and-conquer strategy at their peril.
I remember a cousin, who was Jewish, talking about ‘passing’ in Nazi Germany, as a normal litle German girl, and my grandfather, a Lutheran, who came to the US as a small boy before 1900, referring to a professor he studied chemistry under when he went back to study at Wiesbaden and Berlin later as a ‘damn Nazi’. They knew exactly what they were talking about. This was not from Jewish something or propaganda, but about what the Nazis were and did.
In fact Inga, who told me about this when Reagan was president, said that the way the US was going then reminded her very much of pre-WW2 Nazism — and it’s worse now than then.
@ Blue,
Yeah, the way Hollywood keeps cranking out those Palestinian liberation movies, one after another, is pretty nauseating, isn’t it?.
I don’t understand what you mean with that, but the issues of how bad nazis are and that of the massive zionist propaganda are not the same, even if conflated and one feeding off the other: nazis would be terrible even if Zionists or Jews never existed, and zionists would be terrible even if there had never been nazis.
It’s like blaming everything the US empire has done on Jews or zionists: the US was slaughtering people long before there were any Jews or zionists to speak of in the US, and empires have always done nasty things. It’s what happens when sociopaths gain control.
@ Blue,
Q; the US was slaughtering people long before there were any Jews or zionists to speak of in the US,
R: The first [recorded] Jew to arrive in the colonies was Elias Legarde, who arrived at James City, Virginia, on the HMS Abigail in 1621 [according to this Wikipedia entry, titled ‘History of the Jews in Colonial America‘].
The above turns your statement/opinion/assumption into a null and void one, especially when we know for sure the crew and passengers aboard the ‘Mayflower’ spotted land on November 9, 1620.
How many people do you have to slaughter before one is allowed to call it ‘genocide’ [according to international law]?
“Joachim von Ribbentrop as German ambassador to the UK and Ireland in 1936″
Did you mean:
Joachim von Ribbentrop as German ambassador to the the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland…”
I can see why you might be confused :-)
The island of Great Britain is composed of Scotland / Wales / England.
Britain is not an island, it is a sub-component of Great Britain including only Wales & England.
The island of Ireland is composed of the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland (the Empire having been given the boot in 1921).
In summary, since 1921 the United Kingdom comprises: Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales & England (and some overseas territories e.g Bermuda).
The British Isles are composed of both Great Britain & Ireland (and about 5000 other small islands)
;-)
Q; Did you mean:
R: Thank you. However, this doesn’t answer the primary question – Why did Chancellor Hitler choose Joachim von Ribbentrop to be ambassador [since 1921 the United Kingdom comprises: Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales & England (and some overseas territories e.g Bermuda]?
“We treat our neighbors in such a way that we do not wish to tell about the irreconcilability of our interests, nor how who is our ally and who is our opponent.”
How ‘neighbourly’ of them..
Is this from the Kafka-version of ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’?
@ Eimar Clark,
Q: Is this from the Kafka-version of ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’?
R: History is far more complex than just a few snarky soundbites. Mankind is a warring species and throughout history millions upon millions have been slaughtered, massacred and enslaved. I don’t think Germany was unique in that sense.
The Number 6,000,000 Before The Nuremberg Trials Began. The fact that nobody is allowed to ask questions about the ‘holocaust Inc.’ should be the first red flag shooting up the pole.
The fact that anyone can be jailed for asking certain questions about it, is in reality, today more Kafkaesque than anything else I can think of.
But yeah, the ‘nazis‘ were evil and the rest of the world a bunch of chirping choir boys, so, no lessons to be learned.
Dude, you’re parroting stupid nazi-revisionist propaganda. Go cheack some actual facts and you will realize you’re parroting dangerous lies.
My grandpa was in a forced labor camp in Austria while I personally visited some former camps like Jasenovac in Yugoslavia. There are loads of original film material where you can see mountains of corpses being handled with bulldozers, mass executions, murderes cheering and enjoying their “work” etc. There is a very rich archive and even many still alive witnesses.
So please, go to VT or MoA or some other nazi site to sell that crap propaganda. Doesn’t work with people who know some real history or have some first-hand experience.
The figure of 6 million jews killed has been exaggerated to a ridiculous level – it was much less than that – probably of the order of one million but the jews will not allow any investigation of German records. Naturally – because they know the truth would come out. The Russians lost at least TWENTY MILLION citizens so why is so much attention given to the jews? We all know why!!!
It would have been less than 6 millions, yes, but you rather wreck your argument when you rely on things like
“but the jews will not allow any investigation of German records.”
What jews? which ones? how would they do the disallowing? are you aware the German records ended up with the Armies that liberated the various camps? that many records were lost? do you even know what sort of records you’d need to look for? in FACT the existing records have been examined in great detail by many scholars, not all of them unbiased, and they’ve come up with varying results.
Russia lost 20 million? what records is that based on? what was counted as “Russian”? is that for military? civilians? both?
Is this a COMPETITION? biggest number wins and the others can’t even be mentioned? you feel it’s unfair the Jews get mentioned and the Russians not, because their numbers were smaller? what about the countries that lost numbers in between these two?
Noooo. The reason The Holocaust is different is, it was not war deaths. It was genocide. Deliberate, premeditated genocide on an industrial scale, with purpose-built processes and equipment. The count being out by a million or two doesn’t alter this basic fact. (Nor does it excuse how Israel has been acting against its neighbours but that’s another story).
Yes, let’s pay no attention to how those “purpose-built processes and equipment” are scientifically and militarily ridiculous… None of the victims displayed symptoms of dying from Zyklon-B poisoning such as pink skin discoloration, and mass execution by poison gas chamber is a slow, cumbersome, and expensive ordeal.
@ T2015
Q: Dude, you’re parroting stupid nazi-revisionist propaganda. Go cheack some actual facts and you will realize you’re parroting dangerous lies. My grandpa was in a forced labor camp in Austria while I personally visited some former camps like Jasenovac in Yugoslavia.
R: My primary premise was the fact that certain aspects of WWII can not be discussed.
There’s only 1 genocide protected by law.
Where I come from, emotive argumentation does not replace cold, hard facts.
Your grandpa survived a labor camp. I’m happy he did, but I was told the Germans operated specifically death camps.
My objection is to the fact that I am not allowed to ask questions.
Many, many people died in the various camps, including many, many Jews. Some of those camps were outright hideous from the get-go, like Mauthausen/Gusen.
Nobody in his right mind can or will deny their existence or the many lives destroyed in them, but still, the fact that I can not ask certain questions about all this did happen, irks me beyond belief.
Prof Finkelstein labeled it the ‘Holocaust Industry’ for a very good reason. The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering – Link to Amazon.

Thank you.
I must say the political correctness on this site is very impressive.
I posted an article about this under the Putin-Crimea entry, but this one has much more info.
Crimean Prosecutor Recalls Arrest, Death Threats from Ukrainian Officials
“I got phone calls, threats, told that I would be put in jail, that they would kill me, that they would tear me apart,” Poklonskaya noted in an interview published on the one-year anniversary of her appointment.
“Staff from the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office would call. They said openly and directly that if I left the Crimean Prosecutor’s Office they would consider it a voluntary renunciation from criminal activity. If not, a car filled with Spetsnaz [special forces] was already on the way to arrest me, to throw me in a prison cell. I told them that I would rather sit in a jail cell than serve fascists,” the Prosecutor explained.
In early March, Poklonskaya told Republic of Crimea head Sergei Aksyonov that she would be ready to serve as prosecutor in the new government. She was appointed acting Prosecutor General March 11. On March 25, following the accession referendum, Russian General Prosecutor Yuri Chaika officially created the post of Prosecutor General of the Crimean Republic. A day later, she was listed by the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs as a “fugitive from authorities in a pre-trial investigation.” Poklonskaya was officially sworn into the post on May 7, 2014.
Attackers have attempted to blow up the Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Crimea on two separate occasions. In the first attempt, a bag filled with explosives was found on the territory of the Prosecutor’s Office. In the second, an envelope filled with a blasting agent addressed to the prosecutor’s office was found. Authorities have since launched an investigation into the matter.
I don’t remember for certain if the zionazi bum bandit alliance behind those cowardly threats and terrorist actions has also included Poklonskaya among their sanctions, but I think they have. If so, I would imagine this creates PR problems for Israel’s quislings in their Japanese colonial regime, since Poklonskaya is quite popular in Japan.
Yes, you are right about sanctions. Wikipedia:
On 12 May, the European Union added Poklonskaya to its sanctions list. This barred her from entering EU countries and any of her assets there, if existent, were to be frozen. Canada imposed similar sanctions on Poklonskaya a month later, followed by Japan on 4 August. On 19 December, the United States introduced similar sanctions against several Ukrainian separatists and Russians

Japan Bans Ex-PM From Black Sea Vacation
Yukio Hatoyama, Japan’s ex-Prime Minister and the head of the “Japan-Russia Society”, was strongly advised to postpone his scheduled visit to Moscow and Crimea. The decision by the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was made because the visit contradicts the official position that Japan has taken towards Crimea.
Mr. Hatoyama does not agree with Japan’s official decision to support Western sanctions against Russia, and believes that relations between Tokyo and Moscow have to be restored as soon as possible. The politician has been promoting Japanese-Russian cultural exchange and is one of the organizers of the annual festival of Japanese culture in Moscow.
Japanese Cabinet Secretary Calls Ex-PM’s Visit to Crimea ‘Thoughtless’
A visit by former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama to Crimea is a thoughtless move, and runs contrary to current Tokyo foreign policy, Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide [“Jailhouse Suka”] said Wednesday.
But despite the threats from Israel’s local quislings, the principled gentleman goes to Crimea anyway.
Former Japanese PM Says Crimea Referendum ‘Expressed Will of Its People’
Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama, in Crimea this week as part of a good will visit, says that discussions with local residents have convinced him that the peninsula’s referendum to rejoin Russia was a real expression of the will of its people.
Yukio Hatoyama, the Japanese ex-Prime Minister who had gained the ire of Tokyo for his visit to Crimea this week to find out “what the local residents indeed feel” about the March 2014 reunification with Russia, has expressed that in his view, the referendum was “constitutional and expressed the real will of the Crimean people.”
“I have listened to a variety of points of view, and have discovered that the referendum in Crimea was conducted in accordance with the Ukrainian constitution, peacefully, according to democratic procedure, and has expressed the real will of the Crimean people,” Hatoyama noted at a press conference in Simferopol, RIA Novosti reports.
The former Prime Minister added that he believes that his task now is to offer “Japanese society the truth about the democratic nature of the Crimean population’s will to become part of Russia.”
Hotoyama, arriving in Crimea on Tuesday, explained before his visit: “I want to see with my own eyes how people in Crimea are feeling.” He noted that in addition to gauging local opinion, he “could possibly promote the development of cultural and humanitarian ties between Crimea and Japan.”
@ BOT TAK,
Q: …to current Tokyo foreign policy.
R: Wuahahahahhhhh… Japan runs 30% of its airspace, the rest is firmly in the hands of Unca Sam. The same one operating as a ‘Don’ behind the [political] scenes. Sometimes its hard to imagine this once was the land of samurai…
now its the land of Fukushima
Update:
Japan Should Recognize Crimean Referendum, Lift Russian Sanctions – Ex PM
Tokyo should take an independent decision to lift the sanctions it has imposed against Moscow and recognize the results of the Crimean referendum on reunification with Russia, the former Prime Minister of Japan Yukio Hatoyama said at a meeting with Crimea’s leadership.
Hatoyama stressed that the Japanese authorities are looking up to the United States when choosing a foreign policy course. According to the former prime minister, Tokyo’s decision to join anti Russia sanctions was not right.
“I believe it’s time for Japan to wake up and face the reality. Let the other countries continue their policy of sanctions against Russia, but Japan should independently renounce this policy,” Hatoyama said.
Hatoyama noted that being a democracy, Japan should have welcomed the March,2014 referendum in Crimea – but due to the one-sided media coverage the vast majority of Japanese remain unaware of real situation in Crimea and the amount of work that has been done in the region during the last year.
Hatoyama said that during his visit to Crimea he witnessed the unanimity of locals regarding the reunification with Russia.
“I believe this signifies that is was a right decision to take,” the politician said.
Ukraine’s Yatsenyuk Up in Arms Over ‘Crimea. Way Back Home’ Documentary
“I ask the Ministry of Justice to send this trailer to the Hague Tribunal. It is necessary to send the whole movie to The Hague as well,” Yatsenyuk claimed, insisting that international investigators and prosecutors should launch a full-scale investigation into the events surrounding Crimea’s reunification with Russia.
Amazing, Yats the Suk managed to out perform the Psaki pile in drama queen bitchiness over the docu. I think that may be the first time somebody has one upped “her”. I’m not sure which is the most pathetic of Banderastan’s “Conchita Wursts”, though either Lyashko or Yats the Suk could easily wear that “beauty crown”.
On the bright side,that should assure the film being seen by a huge audience.
Uncle Bob 1
that should assure the film being seen by a huge audience.
True. Hopefully it will be subtitled in many languages so alternate sites can adequately spread it around the web. Forget the Jewish owned/run western zionazi media, though, they’ll smear it, but wont allow their victims to see it, if they can block access to it.
Q: insisting that international investigators and prosecutors should launch a full-scale investigation into the events
R; Sorry,
YikesYats. No can do. They’re too busy cobbling together a flimsy cover story as to how MH17 was shot down by Mr. Putin himself with a single bullet.Greece threatens to seize German property, Berlin refuses to pay WWII reparations
With Germany refusing to budge from its position concerning the payment of war reparations, Greece’s Justice Minister said Wednesday that Athens could start seizing German assets.
Nikos Paraskevopoulos said he was “ready to approve” a Greek Supreme Court ruling in 2000 that would allow the appropriation of assets belonging to Germany’s archaeological school and the Goethe Institute. Proceeds from the property would be used to compensate the relatives of 218 civilians who were massacred by Nazi troops in a village in central Greece in June 1944.
“The law states that the minister must give the order for the Supreme Court ruling to be carried out…. I am ready to give that order,” Paraskevopoulos told Antenna TV, AFP reported.
A start, though I think seizing the assets of German banks which are held in Greece would be more apt, and probably come a lot closer to reaching the amount owed.
Very important news release about Russia, the SCO, global role, a ten-year strategy and who wrote it, who chairs the SCO this year, where the meeting is this year.
Read this closely:
With China’s Silk Road initiative, SCO eyes bigger global role
RSS Feedback Print Copy URL Large image More English.news.cn | 2015-03-11 01:00:39 | Editor: huaxia
MOSCOW, March 10 (Xinhua) — The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) will combine national development strategies with the China-proposed Silk Road Economic Belt initiative and work for deeper involvement in global affairs, its secretary-general said Tuesday.
“A 10-year strategy has been drafted by the Russian side. It is expected to be adopted during the SCO summit in (Russia’s) Ufa,” Dmitry Mezentsev said a day ahead of the opening of the 10th session of the SCO Forum in the western Siberian city of Khanty-Mansiisk.
“The strategy will be the SCO’s proclamation for deeper and wider participation in global affairs,” and combine the national economic strategies of SCO members with the big Silk Road Economic Belt project, he said.
With regard to the expansion of the organization, Mezentsev said the issue will be discussed in the nearest future and there are no legal hurdles for that.
“Specific decisions need to be made at the level of leaders of SCO member countries,” he added.
Founded in 2001, the SCO comprises China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan as full members, with Afghanistan, India, Iran, Mongolia and Pakistan as observers and Belarus, Turkey and Sri Lanka as dialogue partners.
Russia holds the rotating presidency of the SCO in 2015.”
What we see is Putin and Xi using every opportunity to deny the Hegemon maneuver room, while they strengthen in depth their own economies and trade positions vis a vis EU and US.
Remember that the charter for the SCO was to fight terrorism, extremism and separatism. It is not a military alliance. But it will work as a cooperative and coordinating organization that works cohesively as if it were an alliance.
Though China is the giant in the organization, because the SCO will function with Intel and military the Russian component is key in the fight against terror and destabilization. When it comes to development of economies, then the Chinese wealth will have the lead.
The pipelines, rails, roads and fiber optic connections of the SCO countries can make the regions incorporating the members and observer nations very independent of Europe and US trade.
This meeting in Ufa, Siberia is going to be very critical in the coming years
July 9-10
Then on July 16 the BRICS meet in Ufa, also.
Auspicious.
We need to hear Portugal making some seriously excited noises – they want Lisbon as the terminus, don’t they ?

nsnbc : Election time in Israel. PM Benjamin Netanyahu, the man with Israel’s nuclear launch codes, is convinced that there is a “huge worldwide effort to assure that he loses the elections”.
During a radio broadcast on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed that he saw a huge, worldwide effort to assure that he does not win next week’s elections.
forum.thefreedictionary.com/postst32080_Just-because-you-re-not-paranoid–doesn-t-mean-they-re-not-out-to-get-you-.aspx
“While Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman stressed that Arab Israeli’s who don’t support Israel should have their heads chopped off with an ax, Lieberman doesn’t have access to the launch codes for Israel’s nuclear arsenal. PM Netanyahu, who perceives a global conspiracy against him has them.”
He’s trying to get his ISIL membership card…
I’m not sure how those elections will turn out.Of course it would be great if the “nutcase” loses.But the predictions I saw say he should win them.All his whining could be either, real concern,or a ploy for sympathy.And to turn out his supporters among the right-wing Zionists.
@ Uncle Bob 1,
Q; I’m not sure how those elections will turn out.Of course it would be great if the “nutcase” loses.
R: If illegal settlers watching the slaughter of Palestinian men, women and children from the leisure of their chairs on hilltops as anything to go by, I’m not sure which next whacko is going to keep on juggling with the

“Yesterday, President Obama issued an executive order declaring the Venezuelan government “an extraordinary threat to the national security of the United States.” According to the New York Times, as part of his executive order Obama froze the American assets of various Venezuelan law enforcement and military officials.”
http://www.ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2015/march/11/obamas-venezuelan-dictatorship/
It never ceases to amaze me that anti-Western governments and their officials would have bank funds in the US.Or any of their stooge countries in the rest of the World.Don’t they realize by now that the Empire will seize those the first chance they get.
U have to interpret very liberally and with introspection anything put out in the msm press/media.
i laugh everytime i hear that some “russian” expats living abroad these many years on from their latest country of exodus are threatened with having their assets/loot seized, because well, they’re evil pilfering “russians”!
if they’ve not seized those funds from them this late on in their exile country, there’s a very good reason & they never will be seized.
you’re a big late in the game anon…Russian oligarchs have their assets frozen in US.
good in-depth article on poland farmers, their crops, etc.
remember they’vejust the past few days been trying to suck up to putin to re-allow russia as a polish food export market.
At stake is more than the survival of small family farmers in Poland. Aside from the soils of Russia and of Ukraine, Poland is one of the few places in Europe with highest quality soil that has not been destroyed by massive dosages of chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. Ukraine’s rich agriculture land, as part of the rape of the country by the IMF and western agribusiness will soon be sold off for the first time to foreign corporations like Monsanto, Cargill, ADM and others where cultivation of GMO crops will proceed unhindered. That makes the battle for Poland’s farm culture even more vital to the future of food security in Europe.
http://nsnbc.me/2015/03/11/the-good-fight-of-the-polish-farmers/
Yes, the “suck up” to Putin/Russia is because Russian response to EU sanctions cleverly covered the 2015 planting season with uncertainty of market availability going forward. Who’s going to invest in seed, fertiliser and fuel (and labor) costs if Russian markets are still out of range at harvest time? And just because the EU may not renew sanctions does not automatically mean Russia will drop their response — they may wait until all, including US, sanction type issues are resolved thus again wedging the EU and US alliances.
With some luck, ‘regime change’ is on the cards for Poland..unless it wants to totally morph into Nuland.
Any news of Nato protests there?

“One Nation, Indivisible”–Ukraine’s Alternative Futures

“One Nation, Indivisible”–Ukraine’s Alternative Futures
By J.Hawk
Ukraine’s national anthem starts with the words “Ukraine’s not dead yet,” which is a true enough statement which remains silent (as does the rest of the anthem) on the rather vital question of what territory Ukraine proposes to occupy, and what political system will prevail on that territory.
[…]
I had to look it up. Seems it mirrors Poland’s national anthem:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poland_Is_Not_Yet_Lost
“Mazurek Dąbrowskiego” (Polish pronunciation: [maˈzurɛɡ dɔmbrɔfˈskʲɛɡɔ], “Dąbrowski’s Mazurka”) is the national anthem of Poland.[1][2][3] It is also known by its original title, “Pieśń Legionów Polskich we Włoszech” ([pʲɛɕɲ lɛˈɡʲɔnuf ˈpɔlskʲiɣ vɛˈvwɔʂɛx], “Song of the Polish Legions in Italy”).[2][3] English translations of its Polish incipit (“Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła” [ˈjɛʂt͡ʂɛ ˈpɔlska ɲɛ zɡʲiˈnɛwa]) include: “Poland has not yet perished”,[1] “Poland has not perished yet”,[2] “Poland is not lost”,[4] “Poland is not lost yet”,[5] and “Poland is not yet lost”.[6]
[…]
‘Poland is not dead yet’! Does the second verse start with ‘It might be worse’ or ‘good enough is good enough’?
Maybe the national motto is ‘The US is number 17, and maybe we can work our way up to number 20 something if we play nice with them’? Or maybe it’s ‘We are still better off then Lithuania’?
Nothing like high aspirations to inspire people…
BTW, compare that with the US national anthem, which first few lines come down to:
‘Can anyone see the flag? Are we destroyed yet? Do we exist?’
Talk about over-compensation for an identity and confidence crisis…
Dear The Saker,
It looks like the Nemstov murder is going another direction with retractions and claims of police abuse:
http://russia-insider.com/en/2015/03/11/4346
In the EU today the Estonians were rabid blaming Putin/Kremlin for the murder. French MEP and Italian were however defending Russia. I therefore don’t see how polish farmers will get any respite from the sanctions their Givt. agreed too…..
Rgds,
Veritas
with the destruction of small farmers large corporations will buy the land, since they (the farmers) are heavily in debt this process will go very fast. why vaste a good crisis?
New info about “Equation Group”.
Kaspersky Lab Uncovers More Evidence Linking NSA to Infamous Hackers
Researchers from the Russia-based cybersecurity group Kaspersky Lab have uncovered more evidence tying the United States’ National Security Agency to a shadowy group of hackers.
The hacking collective, dubbed “Equation Group,” must have been sponsored by a nation-state with vast resources in order to operate, Kaspersky analysts assert.
The strongest evidence connecting the NSA to Equation Group is the string “BACKSNARF_AB25,” which was embedded in a sample of the Equation Group cyberespionage platform known as “EquationDrug.”
“BACKSNARF,” according to page 19 of an undated NSA presentation that was obtained by Ars Technica*, was the name of a project tied to the NSA’s Tailored Access Operations.
*See (U//FOUO) SPINALTAP: Making Passive Sexy for Generation Cyber
“While the presence of the ‘BACKSNARF’ artifact isn’t conclusive proof it was part of the NSA project by that name, the chances that there were two unrelated projects with nation-state funding seems infinitesimally small,” Dan Gooding of Ars Technica points out.
A new report published Wednesday by Kaspersky notes that timestamps stored inside the Equation Group malware showed that hackers almost exclusively worked Monday through Friday. Assuming they worked from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., employees likely were working in the eastern part of the US.
It is unlikely the timestamps were intentionally manipulated, the report states, since the years listed in various executable files match the availability of computer platforms the files ran on.
Last month, Kaspersky revealed details about an Equation Group operation the led to some 500 infections in at least 30 countries, including Russia, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Syria. The operation targeted banks, foreign governments, embassies, energy and infrastructure, media, telecommunications sectors and Islamist groups.

@ mundanomaniac,
Q: or is it a true new beginning of a hopeful human course?
R: Things will only change of you and I go out onto the streets and actively fight for it.
Look at the decline in the length, width and breath of demonstrations over the past 4 decades. The 0.1% have made sure we know who’s boss and how futile our actions against the Empire have become.
Over time everything will change, that’s inevitable, but for the foreseeable future the current course will not change [it all starts at the vetting process, where future straw men/women are groomed to step out of the shades of the current rulers, one day].
You might find the following article, over at Ociania Saker of interest.
“R: Things will only change of you and I go out onto the streets and actively fight for it.”
Daniel, remember Sakers saying:
The struggle is military 5%
economic 30%
psy 65%
and as an old street-fighter of the sixties now in his seventieth let me tell you concerning richness: only they count who share your love.
only they count, who share your love
More than 155,000 people by Wednesday had signed a petition to the White House urging charges be filed against 47 Republican senators who they say committed “treasonous” offenses by writing Iran’s leaders about ongoing nuclear negotiations.
According to the petition, the 47 senators “committed a treasonous offense when they decided to violate the Logan Act, a 1799 law which forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments.”
Critics argue that the lawmakers, including at least three potential Republican 2016 presidential candidates, broke the law, or at least violated the traditions of Congress, by directly engaging a foreign power on US foreign policy.
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden pilloried the letter, as did several Democratic congressional leaders. Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif called it “unprecedented and undiplomatic.”
What is not mentioned in the article (AFP), but which is almost certain, is that the letter was written by the zionazi lobby in the USA (AIPAC & co), and that it is a zionazi monkey wrench in the works tactic to prevent any agreement with Iran.
One may have noticed that the American Congress criminals who are most supportive of Israel are also the ones most blatantly closely associated with the Israel lobby (AIPAC & co). Many, perhaps all, of these traitors/war criminals are also seem to be the most consistently outspokenly supportive of the Ukrainian nazis and the ZPC/NWO war against Russia.
I don’t know if this has been done or not, but it would be interesting to see if this perceived correlation between Israel lobby support and Russophobia/Ukie-nazi-love among the US Congress criminals is supported by the hard data of things like campaign donations and voted support for Israel.
Here is an example of what I mean:
US Senator Expresses Desire for Greater Sanctions Against Russia
The United States should be imposing greater sanctions on Russia like those implemented by the US Treasury Department on Wednesday, US Democratic Senator Chris Murphy told Sputnik.
“I am speaking generally about my desire to have greater sanctions,” Murphy said on Wednesday when asked his thoughts on the latest US economic actions targeting Russia.
One Dem candidate calls another a ‘whore’ for AIPAC during live debate
“I’m appalled that when I talk about the neoconservatives somehow it’s twisted to be some sort of a racist comment,” long-shot candidate Lee Whitnum said in response to U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy. “This is documented fact. The neoconservative role in the taking down of Iraq [with an] unnecessary war is fact. It’s not opinion.”
“I’m dealing with whore here who sells his soul to AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee], who will say anything for the job,” Whitnum explained, pointing towards Murphy and then adding that state Rep. William Tong was “ignorant” for defending him.
Cheers to Whitnum, BTW, I’ve never heard of him before, and no doubt the zionazi media intended that people not hear of him or what he says.
Back the AIPAC traitors, this Murphy traitor/war criminal seems to be typical of the scum advocating the war policies of the ZPC/NWO against Russia.
bot tak, you have a nose for good stories…amazing to find that. You could work for RI. volunteer, but still alot of fun.
Cheers, Ann, but all I did was run a search on “Chris Murphy” AIPAC. :)
what would be good, would be a reverse law,ie illegal for a foreign government to negotiate with internal citizens of another country.Might avoid a whole lot of trouble……not sure if UN already has one, as it seems to be mostly ignored, then treason could be charged against USA for going against its own principles…………..
Nuland’s Mastery of Ukraine Propaganda
March 11, 2015
Exclusive: In House testimony, Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland blamed Russia and ethnic-Russian rebels for last summer’s shoot-down of MH-17 over Ukraine, but the U.S. government has not substantiated that charge. So, did Nuland mislead Congress or just play a propaganda game, asks Robert Parry.
https://consortiumnews.com/2015/03/11/nulands-mastery-of-ukraine-propaganda/
Very good article on the way the US uses insinuation to further its propaganda around the nation and the world.For a great look from the US side of the Cold War and the post WW2 US.I would recommend a book called “The devil we knew: Americans and the Cold War”.Its from a few years ago,but is very timely today.As we see many of the same mistakes made in the West towards Russia.The author,H.W. Brands,seems to see the same view as I had during those days.And recognizes the under-handed dealings of that time (the same is true of today’s version,CW 2.0).Here are some parts of a book review on it: ” In this thought-provoking, controversial study, Brands charges that the responsibility for fomenting the Cold War, and especially for its prolongation, rests heavily on the United States. The Cold War, he argues, was fueled by the endless search for foreign enemies by which Americans need to affirm their identity and basic goodness. ” and ” He highlights the economic aspect, which, he notes, can be seen in retrospect as a massive effort to open foreign markets to U.S. products, and analyzes the Cold War as a long-running “issue” in American politics.”
the review left out the main cause of all war mongering…the military industrial profits from war.
Loved that ‘reaction shot’ of Obomber..:)
Watch Out Russia – US Sending Drones, Humvees To Ukraine.
Ahhhhh, more non-lethal aid to assist in the killing, maiming and murder of more NR civilians. How chivalrous [on the surface], but utterly cavalier to the core.
Yikes!
Yeah, so drunk Ukies can crash those Humvees too.
Venezuela & Georgia are among the hotspots
US has called Venezuela a State of Emergency for US interests. Cd be prelude to military strike, now that both the color revolution and the coup have failed.
Georgia: Saakashvili, now stationed in Ukraine, is bragging he’ll soon be back in power in Georgia.
Saakashvili is in principle,on the most wanted interpol red list..what does he do in Kiev in liberty and free to travel to the US?
he’s going to join up with khordokovsky and form a tag-team, to taunt putin twicely from just over the border.
the ghosts of tardiness past are coming back to haunt putin all at once.
don’t u remember him–he’s the one putin let out of jail early, pardoned, & let him leave the country, & in mere months he was spotted in kiev in late 2013, mere months before the feb/2014 maidan, raising hell (and funds).
almost like it was planned. lol.
“almost like it was planned.” Back in your cage anonymous.
’cause Georgia doesn’t count. Its too small. They have no voice.
Saakashvili, the tie-chewing mental case, recently advised Ukraine to attack Russia and is apparently quite sure that, with the support of US munitions, Ukraine could prevail.
Deluded is too weak a term, barking mad fits much better.
Saakashvili attacked S.Ossetia (during the 08/2008 Olympics, surprise!) with artillery and Grad with an unnanounced surprise night attack on civilians and civilian infrastructure. Given that some number of Russian peacekeepers were killed I am actually surprised Russia didn’t put him on a hit list.
The IMF is loaning Kiev 17 Billion dollars, ten billion up front.
First order of business—driving lessons for the military. And not from the British. The wrong side of the road stuff will just confuse these drunken nazis more.
I think that is why the US is sending body armor and ambulances. Haphazard driving is taking a hell of a toll. 3-4000 guys died in a massive pileup in Debalcevo recently. Reportedly.
All Glory to Ukraine! And chocolates.
Mats, you’re funny.
and USA sending lease lend coastguard vessels , in case drivers either try to drive to USA or take a long drive off a short pier at Odessa and Mariupol………
In Hot Water Again: US Secret Service Investigated For Drunken Car Crash
The March 4 incident was witnessed by on-duty officers who tried to arrest and test the blood alcohol levels of Mark Connolly, an officer on Obama’s detail, and George Ogilvie, a senior supervisor. Instead, a supervisor ordered them let the two go, sources told the Washington Post.
According to witnesses, the agents’ car had its lights flashing when they were stopped and showed their badges at an area that had been taped off during the investigation of a suspicious package. The car was then driven through the tape and into some temporary barricades.
The agents had come from a party given for outgoing spokesman for the Secret Service, Edwin Donovan.
Hey, at least this time around they weren’t abusing prostitutes, just a car and some barricade materials.

“We ourselves in the European Union provoked the conflict through our territorial expansionism in the Ukraine. We poked the Russian bear with a stick, and unsurprisingly, Putin reacted. But this now is to be used as an opportunity to build a European army… And Mr. Juncker said, we must convey to Russia that we are serious. Who do you think you are kidding, Mr. Juncker?”
