Obama and Putin are in cahoots. Still there is lots of work remains, such as:
1. Another system like SWIFT.
2. Sanctions are not good and boomerang.
3. Getting rid of Netanyahu.
4. Getting rid of Iran sanctions.
5. Creating a Palestine state.
6. Destruction of Takfiris.
7. Many, many more.
Therefore, the illusions of Ukraine and ISIL will continue for a long while.
Yes, people will suffer in the meantime.
Best regards,
Mohamed.
Have a good trip.
Wow, my jaw dropped when I read this piece of excrement in the New York Times, by Ben Judah.
Here’s a choice quote:
“It is a stark choice, and Mr. Putin is not rational. Any rational leader would have reeled from the cost of Western sanctions. Russia’s economy is being hit hard by a credit crunch, capital flight, spiraling inflation and incipient recession. This will hurt Mr. Putin’s surging popularity at home. But none of this has deterred the smirking enigma.”
Can anyone explain how such tripe gets published, and that authors get paid to write such blatant, over-the-top, hysterical, war-lusting propaganda?

@Jake and the NYT Link
I doubt that he gets paid, he writes a few paragraphs of page filling drivel and gets to promote his book at the bottom. Based on the title and his writing skills, also likely drivel.

As long as what they say reinforces the official government narrative, mainstream reporters are free to just make stuff up.
That really does describe it. Start with the narrative and make stuff up to support it. Facts are optional.
Here’s a decent backgrounder on the SCO and Russia’s movement to use it more for Eurasian security. The Diplomat is always carrying water for the Hegemon, but this article seems to be mostly facts and current.
Russia & SCO
Construction began today of the China-Russia East Route pipeline. Russian name for this is Power of Siberia, a network of pipelines. China will build part of it.
Deeper energy cooperation promotes China, Russia partnership
Power of Siberia
Looks like one of the cauldrons tried to make a run for it, kind of like Saddam’s fighting retreat from kuwait and ended up in the road of death..
ITS ALL PUTINS FAULT! DAMN RUSKIES..
But they wont surrender and the ministry is blaming the Russian for the deaths? This is way beyond hilarious to complain about losses when you fight your way out and losses.
vast quantities of punitive troops were planted and the most combat-capable punitive battalions suffered huge losses.
Due to shelling of the “humanitarian corridor”, which the terrorists were supposed to provide for the exit of the Ukrainian troops from under Ilovaysk in the Donetsk region, the ATO forces suffered huge losses, announced the press service of the “Crimea” battalion. Hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers were killed and dozens were captured.
200 people from the “Donbass-1” battalion surrendered.

The Saker’s article: Self-delusion and panic in the West (August 30th 21:43 UTC/Zulu Ukraine SITREP) provided a cautiously optimistic hope for the future Novorossiya.
The NAF and the people of Novorossiya are not only defending their lands against the Junta but also the Full Spectrum Dominance forces of the US/NATO advisors, US/EU corporate interests (oil/gas/Agriculture -Monsanto), Banking interests (IMF/World Bank), Federal Reserve and the petrodollar, NGOs, Oligarchs, and fascists. These neo-feudal globalist have got this far through techniques for the control of the masses (Edward Bernays) combined with skillful manipulation of what Joseph Campbell (The Power of Myth) called underlying subconscious societal myths (e.g. the new frontier, Zion on a hill, manifest destiny, indispensable nation). While I covered these aggressive forces in the post “The end of Full Spectrum Dominance and the neo-feudalist dream” (Saker 31 August, 2014 06:30), this is only part of the story.
The neo-feudal globalist forces appear to have chosen Ukraine as a weak point from which they could continue the attack against the Russia and the BRICS for total world dominance. Furthermore, the West already had a playbook of techniques they successfully used to in the de-Finlandization of Yugoslavia (See “Wagons East – International trade and the FRY-NATO war, 1999” at http://www.endgame.org/oilwars-biblio.htm). The ethnic and cultural division and underlying scores to settle from World War II also helped as it did in the Balkans.
Ukraine is a last ditch effort to maintain the West’s uni-polar world as all their Middle East and Eurasian military adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan only served to provide economic/resource development for Russia, China and Iran and drain the US treasury of about four trillion dollars. The Syrian gambit has also failed thanks to Russia blocking the conquest of Syria as described by Christof Lehmann in “The Atlantic Axis and the Making of a War in Ukraine” (http://novorossia.today/main-news/christof-lehmann-the-atlantic-axis-and-t.html). This article brilliantly explains how the Globalists blocked a planned Iran-Iraq-Syria gas pipeline and attempted to substitute a Saudi Arabia-Qatar-Syria gas pipeline route.
To overthrow the Syrian government and destabilize Iraq the US/NATO and Israeli forces collaborated in first overthrowing the Libyan government and then using US trained and equipped Libyan Al-Qaeda to attack Syria from Jordan and later using ISIS via Turkey. Russian assistance was essential in thwarting these attacks as well as preventing a shock-and-awe air war against Syria by NATO and Israeli forces. The failure of the Globalist’s Syrian gambit has left them with an even greater problem their ISIS stepchild as described in “ISIS: US-made Monster Running Amok in Middle East” by Robert Bridge is creating a radical Al-Qaeda state that threatens their oil interests throughout the whole Middle East.
part 2 continues
part 2
Having once again creating chaos in the Middle East, rather than profits and control of resources and trade routes, the globalists turned their forces onto Ukraine and ultimately Russia. The new battle represented a clash of civilizations between US/UK Atlanticists and those who favored Continental Europe and the Russia/EEU economic cooperation/integration. The US/UK coordinated violent overthrow of the Ukraine government was meant to create a chiasm between the EU states and assimilate them into the US/UK (The City) axis via the passage of the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) as pointed out by Mike Whitney in “The Obama Game: Is Putin Being Lured Into a Trap?”
The banning of the use of the Russian language by the new puppet junta was the spark that created the rebellion now being used to drive a wide wedge between Continental Europe and Russia/EEU states. The shoot-down of MH17 by unknown parties served as a 9/11 type event to further galvanize EU support via the tightly controlled western pressitudes.
Novorossiya is “winning” this bloody conflict with the Junta neo-fascist forces and Putin has thus far avoided negative feedback trade war sanctions by withholding trade goods to Western Europe. Furthermore, his use of the positive feedback non-purchase of food commodities from the EU serves to turn the people of Western Europe against their governments who are collaborating with the US and UK economic interests.
Hopefully, other regions of Ukraine will soon realize that the Junta led Ukraine is an economically collapsing failed state as Simon Black eloquently described in his podcast “Dulce st Decorum est Pro Patria Mori” (http://www.sovereignman.com/podcast/podcast-014-dulce-et-decorum-est-pro-patria-mori-14818/). If they do not wake up and create their own republics they will suffer in the upcoming massive economic collapse being created by the Fascists in Western Ukraine.
In the near term the best we can hope for is a multipolar world where the Novorossiya people can once again control their destiny and live in peace without further threat of violence from Western economic interests. Ultimately, it is necessary to create localized social and economic transformations that will result in catabolic devolution of neo-feudal globalization.
Baboo here,
Jim Willie drops a bombshell but what else is new. At least I think so, my net connect is too slow to listen to the interview but some commenters are saying in his newest interview dated Sept. 1 Jim is claiming France and Germany are supplying their own forces for fighting AGAINST the Kiev Junta and have just recently captured alive Blkwtr/XE/Academi mercenaries! Some call Jim a soothsayer others a fool. IMO it’s much more of the former than the latter.

Re: the status of Novorussia
There appear to be a range of at times complementary and at times conflicting goals confronting Russia in Ukraine. In no particular order they are:
1) Defending Ethnic Russians
2) Confronting Nato
3) Defeating Nazism and Fascism
4) Buying time for re-armament
5) Buying time for economic transition
6) Confronting the Oligarchs
The reason so many options continue to emerge from the events are that there are cross-currents driving the considerations that go into any one decision.
IMO it is not that any one is an absolute priority. It appears that they are constantly shifting in importance.
Perhaps the goal that exhibits the most ambivalence is that of economic transition. While the Eurasian shift is definite, it is an uncertain playing field. Russia does not want to become a slave to the Chinese economy. At this point Russian Indian trade is not sufficient to provide a counter-balance. While shifting production out of Ukraine s a process that began several years ago, it is now an almost accomplished thing. Yet this is not true of the rest of Europe. Even despite sanctions and nasty comments, Russia strives for European acceptance and ever greater amounts of European trade.
Likewise there is ambivalence and cross-currents affecting each of the goals listed above – such that at times those goals are in opposition to each other.
So while it is Novorussia that will define their own status, the reality of Russia as their guarantor is unavoidable and so the interplay of those goals, plus the timing, will lead to whatever eventual result is finalized.
No matter the result, many will not be happy and many will be – but all will be relieved.
Mohamed – access to SWIFT is simply about getting Russian banks to pay British banks fees for access. Nothing more that that.

@Michael Droy: Mohamed – access to SWIFT is simply about getting Russian banks to pay British banks fees for access. Nothing more that that.
Iran was denied access to SWIFT. They couldn’t get their money which was due to them for legally selling their oil, not sanctioned oil.
They had to sell their oil in Indian Rupees and Barter. Another SWIFT is a must if Russia is moving away from $ hegemony.
Only through SWIFT the money is transferred, exchanged for goods delivered, there is no other alternative.

As this is an open thread, I thought that i would bring to everyone’s attention to a story that I read tonight that shows how fucked up the Saudies are with their extremist Wahhabist version of true Islam and no, I am not a Muslim at all.
There is a story at http://www.abna.ir/english/service/middle-east-west-asia/archive/2014/09/02/635152/story.html which states that the Saudies are thinking of, get this, demolishing Muhammed’s Tomb and shoving his body in an unmarked grave in some cemetery somewhere. Same with all those of his family buried with him. The historic Mosque would be demolished and replaced by some sort of visitor’s venue.
Apparently they have already demolished the bulk majority of all the historic buildings in Mecca and now want to do the same to Medina. One day the Saudi family will be gone but they would have destroyed all that was venerated by Islam for the past thousand years. This sort of thinking is, by the way, the fountainhead of those ISIS followers in Iraq/Syria.
The US organization “Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity” (VIPS) has published an open letter to Angela Merkel for her consideration in preparation for the forthcoming NATO summit meeting. Below is a link to the letter posted by “Walrus”, an occasional contributor to the blog Sic Semper Tyrannis, which is run by retired US Army Col. Patrick Lang. As the colonel notes in the comments he’s not affiliated with VIPS, and his take on what drives US policy under Obama is quite different from what is implicitly assumed in the VIPS letter. Like this blog, many of the people who comment at SST are rational and well informed.

Using the SWIFT weapon ain’t gonna happen with Russia. It has been financial war once SWIFT was weaponized against Iran. Within months, after when Iran adopted barter selling oil in Indian Rupees and Gold via Turkey, US-EU recognized this move hastened the de-throning of king USdollar and quickly (look at the timeline) embraced Iran as a NBF [new best friend].
• “The City/WS money Titans won’t allow “Threats” by Camermoron to have Russia be denied SWIFT as it will endanger: (a) no gas deliveries to EU; (b) EU banks’ and, by extension, U.S. banks’ exposure to Russia –loans and Russian bonds re-payment endangered; a tidy sum:
Western Europe’s banking system also has significant exposure to Russia.
French banks have an estimated $50bn, Italian $28.6bn, German $23.7bn, British $19.1, Dutch $17.6, Swedish $14bn, and Swiss $6.8bn out of an estimated $184bn, or 76% of total foreign bank lending to Russia. Individual banks with high exposure include France’s Society Generale with $30bn, representing half this highly geared bank’s equity. Unicredit of Italy has exposure of $25bn, representing 40% of its shareholder funds.
These are two prominent examples of potential casualties in a financial war with Russia. Furthermore European corporates also have substantial investments in Russia, notably BP.”

Very relevant comment from the Ukraine thread at militaryphotos.net:
As an ex commie from Germany, who was even in the 70s on drushba tour in the good ol Soviet union and who is now an Catholic with strong Orthodox leaning, I can tell you why it is no surprise that traditional leftists and Orthodox warriors now fight together. They both still believe that there is something like an objective reality whereas their enemy, this bunch of neoliberal neoconservative structuralists, think that they can “morph” reality according to their fantasies. By their method of deconstruction they try to destroy the ability in people to think coherently and logical to make them incapable of even questioning the power of the 0,1 percent. But as always, they eat their own medicine and loose ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality. When confronted with reality based people like Putin for instance they are bound to loose. The frustration resulting out of that is very palpable now in this section of the global war this thread is about.

Boy, that says it all, doesn’t it. The most marvelous part of it, though, is that their absurd excesses in every area are making it ever more easy for people to see just how far off the track they’ve gone, and are dragging us. Really, at this point a person’s got to work pretty hard to keep looking away and/or still believe their drivel. (Americans excluded, of course: we’ll be the last to get it, and the usual suspects will keep on blaming their usual scapegoats.)

Situation among the ukrainian survived military forces
Using “self defense forces” against a gay parade………. wow, Crimeans are really smart!
This article contains an interview with a young volunteer with the NAF. He is 23 years old and was based near Lugansk. He was injured in the leg.
He describes why he joined up, what the opposition is like (good weapons, but lacking in courage, prefer to attack using armor). He also states that some Ukies appear to be taking drugs as syringes are commonly found.
He describes one incident where he and a small group creep up on a Ukie position and steal an APC. As they left they started shouting “Russia, forward!”, “Ukraine-forward!”, “LNR, forward!”. The Ukies had no idea what was going on and didn’t even open fire.
He does make one very disturbing comment, above and beyond the use of flechettes and WP by the Ukies that he also describes.
They recovered a smartphone from a dead Ukie. It had a video showing someone being tortured – “Basically ears cut off, his throat like a pig cut. Well, cheeks cut, eyes put out.” They left the camera but kept the memory stick.
To a certain extent, this seems unbelievable. However, there is historical precedent for the Ukrainian Nazis doing this sort of thing after WWII. In his book ‘The Hidden Hand: Britain, America and Cold War Secret Intelligence’, Richard Aldrich has a section on the post-war activities of the Ukrainian Galicia (Waffen SS) Division. Aldrich writes that these units performed guerrilla actions against the Soviets, particularly MGB (pre-KGB) officers. These people would typically be kidnapped at night. Their bodies would be found next morning in a prominent public place. Following local custom, their eyes would have been cut out. The corpses were often decorated with provocative placards, meant to intimidate others.
What to do about people capable of this sort of thing (c.f. ISIS too)?
Oh, you gotta love BBC and its penchant for fiddling the maps to show the extent of NAF control over East Ukraine

There was a really interesting thread posted on ZH entitled “Ex-NSA Director, US Intelligence Veterans Write Open Letter To Merkel To Avoid All-Out Ukraine War”. It’s authored by William Binney and other former intel colleagues. The comments to this article were about 90% PRO this letter. One particular comment stood out. It was from a poster named “sunaJ” (big hat-tip to sunaJ). It’s important and wanted to share it here:
“The Western political regime has been failing for a long time, and has maintained a constant crisis-mode in order to keep the facade up and the dissent down.
The financial fraud has long since engulfed the entire economic system of the west to where now virtually every market is dominated by these fraudsters.
To placate the inattentive masses, the narratives (political, social and economic) must become more and more bizarre in order to maintain the look of “sanity.”
The corporate press are so desperate to maintain the failed narratives and faux polarities that little or no truth is revealed by the former 4th estate.
Because of the ongoing narrative, people die every day – through murder, hardship and suicide – so that a few can benefit from this failed society.
The most powerful and technologically advanced military in the world is still serving this failed regime.
If you try to find reason or good social conscience in any of it, it will do nothing but make you mentally ill, because all it is there to do is to hide the truth and to cover the tracks of traitor elites that will destroy everyone rather than relinquish power. All of these tools and centralized powers will soon be turned upon Americans in true and all-out snake-eats-tail fashion.
Since I have let go of the otherwise meaningless narratives peddled on MSM and by gov talking heads, I really do see where much of it all fits together. What I’m saying is, there is much less cognitive dissonance when you realize that your society actually is caving in on itself. The best thing I can suggest if and when you come to these conclusions is to set long-term constructive goals that assume the above is true. Don’t panic. Make goals. Here are some I came up with:
-become as self-reliant as possible, and as little reliant upon the gov as possible.
-without evangelizing it, always be prepared to help your loved ones understand it.
-have an emergency action plan (or plans) to cover a variety of contingencies.
-teach yourself as many skills and trades that would be important in a post-financial collapse world.
-network with your neighbors (face-to-face, not on FB, ffs).
-stay in shape.
-don’t wallow in the sadness of a society that is destroying itself, or you will reflect it in one way or another (substance abuse, depression, etc.).”
To follow up my last post — the last half of sunaJ’s comment are really helpful reminders to those of us who are looking for “what to do”. To these I add the following:
–On an individual basis apply the principles of “BDS” (boycott, divest, sanction) to all elements/handmaidens of evil which conspire to consume us. For example: I stopped going to Starbucks. Not that its huge or earthshattering, but it begins to “starve the beast”.
–Choose friends wisely. Drop “friendships” that tend to discourage independent, moral thought with flawed and skewed reasoning. Don’t deal with people who are untrustworthy. Don’t waste your oil.
–Do(and believe)the inverse of what the MSM-USG-ZIOs tells you about anything. For example, they are currently pushing the “importance” of voting. I have voted in every election since Ronald Reagan. Things are no better. They are MUCH worse. Voting turn-out is used to spin lies about ZUSA as a “representative democracy”. (Except of course we are a Constitutional Republic — NOT a democracy…) As if voting for ANY national or congressional politician has REAL impact on the outcome. The political body is ALL compromised by ZOG. Those who participate in voting are being played. And perpetuate their myth. If you must vote — do it locally. Boycotting national elections are the only hope we have of making a positive impact.
–Shut off MSM as best you can. Occasionally I listen to know what the enemy is doing. At this point I could easily write their script for them. So its boring at best – and disheartening at worst. Save your energy for the REAL work at hand.

Several ideologically motivated punitive battalions were ‘planted’ in the deep black soil of the Donbass last night as their remnants attempted to break out of the llovaysk cauldron. Colonel Cassad reports the details, as the NAF joins Hezbollah in illustrating the shift of military advantage from offense to defense. Determined militia armed with hand held missile technology have rendered the military power of empire obsolete. The negotiation of a new world can begin on these facts. The days of air and armor dominating the battle field are part of history. Now the political and economic realities will slowly come into line with the new reality of the battlefield.
To another Anonymous about gay parades. Gays are not bad – as well as americans are not bad. Why USA is detested in the world? Because it is made a tool for kill people in the world. As well as LGBT and gay marriage are made a tool against humanity and society. You don’t understand that you are manupulated with this “tolerance”.

Those women in the group, they were not the women behind the men who were monsters. Those women were the monsters.
Sadly those young women making the Molotov cocktails knew exactly what they were doing. They had been trained to make lethal and cruel weapons. See how they were adding crushed polystyrene to the bottles before adding the gasoline?
That polystyrene dissolves in the petroleum making a jelly, a burning jelly that sticks to the clothes and skin of whoever it touches.
Those women intended that people should die and those who survived should be horribly disfigured.
That kind of knowledge and intent is never an accident. That was premeditated torture and murder.
And I bet more than a few of them went to church on the Sunday.

The Anglo-Zionist Elites need a scapegoat to explain the collapse of the USD. The inevitable event will cause great hardship in the dollar based world of the West. The elites will blame Russia for the collapse, thereby escaping justice for their financial crimes. In my opinion chaos and war are not to save the dollar reserve system, but to prepare for its inevitable end. The iron laws of the exponential function will soon trigger a reset in world financial affairs. This fact and the reality of the battlefield will necessitate a new world order.
John Meirshiemer wrote Why The Ukraine Crisis Is The West’s Fault in the CFR flagship publication Foreign Affairs. Henry Kissinger On The Assembly Of A New World Order last week accepts a multipolar world structure. The elites of the West are preparing for a tumultuous transition to a new world financial and economic system. These two articles are significant tells of their positioning. They are in damage control.
It is my opinion the Ukraine is the event explaining the collapse of the Anglo-Zionist Empire to the average citizen, while the elites attempt to position themselves for the Eurasian Project and a new financial structure for world trade. There will be winners and there will be losers in the transition. The holders of USD will be wiped out. The new world of finance will probably have sovereign fiat currencies, but gold will be the world reserve asset and will protect against exorbitant privilege of one sovereign printing the world’s reserve currency.
The real world of providing for the needs of humanity will replace the current era of predatory finance. I am an optimist about the future for people who work and produce, but the predatory class will be dethroned.

It is grammatically incorrect to use the word “the” in front of Ukraine, just like it is incorrect to say “the Russia, the France, the Spain.” This is one grammar error that is easy to correct.
Tks for the interesting read.
Part 1… (man, 4096 chars is such an annoying limit)
The ‘GAY’ issue. Ordinary Humans, contrary to vile zionist propaganda, have NEVER persecuted or wanted DISCRETE homosexual Humans ‘punished’ for acts of same-sex love between ADULT couples.
But ‘gayness’ turned into a political tool of the same monsters responsible for the creation of ISIS/Boko Haram, and the Holocaust in Gaza and Novorussia- well that is a horse of a VERY different colour.
What the hell is a ‘gay parade’? There are some cultures where overt displays of private sexuality in a public forum are acceptable. But most current cultures on this planet do NOT see such behaviour as acceptable. Adult-only private clubs are the appropriate venues for such behaviour- and YES, they most certainly should be legal. But leave the kids and ordinary citizens alone!
Remember how the BBC (home of the worst paedophiles in British History) used the so-called ‘gay’ issue in an attempt to ruin Russia’s recent Winter Olympics? Curious this- during Blair’s British hosted Summer Olympics a few year back, the BBC (and Guardian Newspaper) LIONISED a lone Saudi female athlete when her legal male MASTER permitted her to run in a race (wearing head covering, of course).
Every female in Saudi Arabia has to have a male ‘guardian’- who legally controls every aspect of her life. In SA, homosexuality is a ‘crime’ whose punishment includes TORTURE (in the form of weekly ultra-severe whippings) across a period of at least two years. Yet the BBC has NEVER, EVER condemned Saudi Arabia for the way it treats ordinary homosexual men and women.
As a result of propaganda from Jewish controlled mainstream media outlets, the majority of people think homosexuality is illegal in Russia, and tolerated in SA. The monsters literally turn ‘black’ into ‘white’ via their control of the propaganda outlets.
Part 2:
And on another topic relating to the activities of the monsters behind the genocidal war against Novorussia, an even faker video of a so-called ISIS beheading is hitting the mainstream media headlines as I type – the mock killing of US journalist Steven Sotloff (who has a barely disguised smirk on his face as he delivers his pre-‘death’ speech).
The ‘killing’ of Steven Sotloff is as FAKE as Tony Blair’s ‘Man-made Climate Change’ BS. No individual spent more time promoting the lies of the 9/11 false flag and and the lies of ‘man-made’ global warming more than Tony Blair. And no organisations have benefited MORE from the carbon trading laws Blair introduced on the back of his lies than the energy companies of the West.
This is why we get these laughably fake ISIS videos, when EVERY ISIS video except these two shows depraved murder by beheading in ALL its gory detail. But ‘USEFUL IDIOTS’ think claiming that these videos are ‘real’ somehow helps bash the elites that run the USA. The same useful idiots think claiming man-made global warming is real ALSO bashes the elites- when it actually does their work for them.
Here’s a CLUE. The most outspoken critics of Putin and Russia in the West are the leaders of Australia. What a coincidence to find that the leaders of Australia are also the biggest advocates of manmade climate change, and implemented the most draconian anti-Human laws on the back of this propaganda.
Most propaganda created by the monsters of the West is very obvious, as per the teaching of Edward Bernays (the one Jew Goebbels WORSHIPPED). The trick is to create propaganda that feeds the ‘daddy issues’ of the simple-minded. So the old “you terrible parents- your generation ruined the planet without a thought for your kids” play works perfectly with weak-minded whiners. This is the psychology basis of the global warming psy-op.
The fake beheading videos (fake, because the so-called journalists are known CIA- and they don’t ‘expend’ their own) play to the “all Muslims are really extremist nutcases” theme that the mainstream media pushes daily. Demonised Muslim youth in West nations are actually (purposely) radicalised by such vile propaganda attacks.

“This article contains an interview with a young volunteer with the NAF. He is 23 years old and was based near Lugansk. He was injured in the leg.
Interview
It is enlightening about the war in Lugansk, how the civilians have suffered, even hunted down in their basements by Nazis, bombed with fragmentation and cluster and white phosphorus bombs and how each weapon inflicts tell-tale damage on the dead and wounded.
His affection for his dead unit leader Mongoose is palpable. I read about Mongoose last week. An extraordinary man, family of young kids, educated man, a natural leader who represented the very best of Donbass.
Very important to work through the translation to get this up close and very personal report.
Thank you for this link.

if you are going to be a ‘grammar nazi’ (which is never, ever a good idea online), get your facts CORRECT.
‘The Ukraine’ was the common form of description in the West, but has been depreciated in recent times.
You say “In THE United Kingdom”
You say “In Russia”
Notice there is NO universal rule. Quoting one example does NOT invalidate the other.
It used to be mostly “In THE Ukraine”. Now it is almost universally “In Ukraine”. In English (unlike most languages) usage often changes rapidly across time. This is why NATIVE English-speakers find ‘grammar nazis’ such idiots.
Ah! The US of A.

The Hegemon and the Elities are repositioning also. They intend to shape the new multi-polar world as they lose the uni-polar grip.
Change is something at which they are very good at getting out in front. They will not be standing on the sidelines. If they can’t run things, they ruin things. So, the first new world order won’t be theirs? They’ll sow seeds into the coming world order.
Watch all the Malaysia, Argentina, Brazil and Turkey troubles flow. They have already done Thailand. They are arming Japan and using it to breech India, not only from China but from Russia.
While they punch at Russia, they will work over all the other emerging and developing nations. too.
It’s never as simple as we hope or think it is. But these Elites have much more experience and tool sets to use than what we face now.
Never underestimate the enemy. Give them full credit for ruling over everyone and everything by whatever means necessary. They are damn good at evil. Their god is satan.
Your points are accurate. I’m not so sure about the elites’ dethroning as a consequence of change in the world. They have time to infest both Russia and China. And many of the other nations have not fully committed to anything. Terror rules the thrones of most of the leaders of the world’s vulnerable nations. That terror is from the Hegemon.

That is a Ukrainian Grammar Nazi myth. Somehow, Ukrofascists are insulted by this inclusion of the definite article in the name of their country in the English language, a practice English carries over from German, though in a more limited manner (we don’t say The Switzerland – Die Schweiz – but Germans do). This is mainly an issue of the use of geoidentifiers or political appelations in the name. For example here is a list of countries where it is proper to put THE in front of the main name of the country always in English.
THE Ukraine
THE United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
THE Netherlands
THE Czech Republic
THE United States of America
THE Dominican Republic
THE Virgin Islands
THE Western Sahara
THE United Arab Emirates
THE Sudan
THE Central African Republic
THE Congo
THE Ivory Coast
Its sounds moronic and uneducated to exclude the definite article from these names in English.
The Ukraine is called such because its name means “The Borderlands” and there is no such people as Ukrainians except as a state nationality.
It figures that Ukronazis would get upset about English language rules and try to change them. It also figures that they would be insulted over something so silly.
If Ukraine is looking for an historic and ethnonymic state name, they should look to Malorossiya, Novorossiya, Khazaria, or Galicia.

I can tell you why it is no surprise that traditional leftists and Orthodox warriors now fight together
This is part of the essence of Red Orthodoxy as a synthesis, the other part being the reality of constructing a world without oligarchs and nobles, but with tradition and Christianity.
Rod Dreher noted this same thing on his blog a number of years ago about a car ride with a Marxist, a Liberal, a Conservative, and himself, an Orthodox Traditionlists – he as a Traditionalist and his Marixst friend agreed on far more issues and principles than did his liberal or conservative friends, who in turn fund they had a great deal in common on the matter of basic issues and first principles and aesthetics.

Russia and China will invite in SCO also India and Pakistan…four nations with nuclear power, sitting in the same part of the hemisphere. I think they will come out with some military agreement.

FLASH URGENT:US Troops Are Heading To Ukraine.http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-02/us-troops-are-heading-ukraine
The ukraine is just an area of Steppe traversed since time immemorial by assorted nomadic peoples or claimed by assorted empires and aristocrats. Ukraine is a nation state defined in 1991. The two are not the same but are largely congruent in space.
US boots on the ground to Ukraine for annual exercises. Where will they fit in the ongoing battles?
Reuters reports:
“As fighting between the army and Russian-backed rebels rages in eastern Ukraine, preparations are under way near its western border for a joint military exercise this month with more than 1,000 troops from the United States and its allies.
“The decision to go ahead with the Rapid Trident exercise Sept. 16-26 is seen as a sign of the commitment of NATO states to support non-NATO member Ukraine while stopping well short of military intervention in the conflict.
“At the moment, we are still planning for (the exercise) to go ahead,” U.S. Navy Captain Gregory Hicks, spokesman for the U.S. Army’s European Command said on Tuesday.
“But Rapid Trident will entail the first significant deployment of U.S. and other personnel to Ukraine since the crisis erupted.
“It is very important to understand that a military solution to this problem is not going to be forthcoming,” Obama told reporters at the White House last week.
“The United States European Command (EUCOM) says the exercise this month will involve about 200 U.S. personnel as well as 1,100 others from Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Britain, Canada, Georgia, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Norway, Poland, Romania and Spain.
“Focused on peacekeeping, it will include command post drills, patrolling and dealing with improvised explosive devices.”
Maybe they can do this command post drilling and patrolling and IED stuff can be done at the Kiev airport or in Maidan. It’s small potatoes military stuff.
Also, most of the units of Ukies are very busy being killed and captured, so they have no time for “war games”, paintball or flag football, or whatever the hell Rasmussen’s army practices when not abusing themselves in the Brussels’ jerkatoriums of NATO.
(Technically it should be jerkatoria, but, I went with the flow.)

This is NOT (!) a reason to be happy. This is a reason to be unhappy. Why do we do this to allow the west to exploit it? This allows them to paint us as backward. Are we this?
Not that the west really cares about that issue – they just exploit it. However: why do we make such a mistake? If a guy loves a guy – so what? It happens in every country. So what?
Why this press-release?
I call on all people on the side of the good guys – us – on Russias side – that we might express our discomfort with gay people or not – BUT that we will accept their choices and that we will protect them and we will accept that they are how they are. This works from a christian, orthodox, jewish, muslim pov if we want it. Why making them – and they are 5-10% of the population in every country – our enemies? Makes – sorry for the language – no fucking sense!
