Gallup Poll: Most Ukrainians Oppose US-installed Nazi Government in Kiev

An opinion survey by the Gallup organization establishes beyond doubt that the majority of Ukrainians, and a vast majority in the South and East of the country, strongly oppose the US-Nazi takeover of their country:

Gallup Poll: April 2014
and, furthermore, the poll confirms that the vast majority of Ukrainians in Crimea support Crimea's incorporation in the Russia Federation:

Gallup Poll: April 2014
What these and and a mass of other information provided by the Gallup survey prove is that the mainstream media account of the conflict in Ukraine is a pack of lies and that far from combating parasites, terrorists and subhumans in Eastern Ukraine, the US-UK-Canada-backed Nazis in Kiev are seeking to crush the will of the people of Eastern Ukraine.

Loony Jews and Stephen Harper Smear Millions of Canadians As Diseased Neo-Nazis

Robert Fisk: The Independent:, July 1, 2014:

Not long ago, I was handed the most outrageous, vile, dishonest and slanderous calumny uttered against the people of Canada. It was contained in a full-page advertisement in the National Post (founder, Conrad Black), a newspaper handed out – free, I’m happy to say – on my Air France flight out of Toronto. Here is the headline: “Almost 4 million Canadians are afflicted by this disease.”

Beneath this title is a half-page, very blurred and uncaptioned colour photo of a large crowd – they could be football supporters, rush-hour commuters in Vancouver, you name it; they are mostly white males but include women and with at least one dark-skinned man close to the camera. Beneath the picture, this incredible ad continues: “Left unchecked, it [the disease] can result in violence tendencies. Many times, those infected haven’t been diagnosed and may pass it on to their children, grandchildren, colleagues or friends. Please help stop the spread of this disease before it contaminates your community.”

This is frightening stuff, of course. Could this refer to some of the six million Canadians who may be living with HIV/Aids? Or the 4.5 million Canadians affected by arthritis? Or the 2.5 million Canadians believed to have diabetes? Or even some of the estimated 7.8 million Canadians treated for depression each year? Nope. This is far more serious. For the “disease” afflicting “almost 4 million Canadians” is “anti-Semitism” and this disgusting advertisement – published without comment by one of Canada’s leading right-wing newspapers – was produced by B’nai Brith Canada and the “Jewish Christian Alliance”.

“At the first sign of anti-Semitism,” this appalling ad concludes, “call the B’nai Brith Canada Anti-Hate Hotline…” In other words, this pro-Israeli Jewish group – whose exaggerations and hateful propaganda have been rightly condemned by Jewish Canadians – claims that four million of their fellow-countrymen and women are sick, racist neo-Nazis. What other conclusion are we supposed to draw if almost 9 per cent of the Canadian population is “diseased”, “infected” and “contaminated”.

Now let’s forget that B’nai Brith regards any criticism of the state of Israel – however justified, however mild, made by Jews and non-Jews alike – as anti-Semitic. Let’s forget previous protests by Jewish Americans against the organisation’s grotesque exaggerations. Let’s even ignore its equation of Palestinians with Nazis, a comparison that led it to publish a bowdlerised version of the infamous photograph of the wartime Grand Mufti of Jerusalem meeting with Hitler – the Nazi dictator was “moved” in the B’nai Brith version of the snapshot about three feet closer to the Palestinian so that Hitler appears to be almost sitting on his visitor’s lap.

And let’s not ask why the Canadian Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, did not immediately leap to the defence of his own Canadian people when confronted by this disgusting statement of “disease”. For alas, Harper told the Israeli Knesset last January – while archly claiming “criticism of Israeli policy is not in and of itself necessarily (sic) anti-Semitic” – that condemnation of Israeli policies amounted to anti-Semitism. This included those who supported the boycott campaign against Israel or referred to it as an apartheid state. “On some campuses,” said Harper, “intellectualised (sic) arguments against Israeli policies thinly mask the underlying realities, such as the shunning of Israeli academics and the harassment of Jewish students.”

“Sickening,” Harper called this. Yes, the Canadian Prime Minister himself was using the “disease” metaphor employed by B’nai Brith. And why not? Because there’s another reason Canadians can expect no protection from their own Prime Minister, who in his speech might have been a member of the Knesset rather than a guest of its members: Stephen Harper was awarded the “International Presidential Gold Medal” for “his commitment to the Jewish people and the State of Israel” in 2008 – by B’nai Brith.

Meantime, Stephen Harper smears millions of Canadian citizens as suffering from the disease of Nazism.

A New Recession and a New World Devoid of Washington’s Arrogance?

Paul craig Roberts: June 25, 2014. A final number for real US GDP growth in the first quarter of 2014 was released today. The number is not the 2.6% growth rate predicted by the know-nothing economists in January of this year. The number is a decline in GDP of -2.9 percent.

The negative growth rate of -2.9 percent is itself an understatement. This number was achieved by deflating nominal GDP with an understated measure of inflation. During the Clinton regime, the Boskin Commission rigged the inflation measure in order to cheat Social Security recipients out of their cost-of-living adjustments. Anyone who purchases food, fuel, or anything knows that inflation is much higher than the officially reported number.

It is possible that the drop in first quarter real GDP is three times the official number.

Regardless, the difference is large between the January forecast of +2.6 percent growth and the decline as of the end of March of -2.9 percent.

Any economist who is real and unpaid by Wall Street, the government, or the Establishment knew that the +2.6 percent forecast was a crock. Americans’ incomes have not grown except for the one percent, and the only credit growth is in student loans, as those many who cannot find jobs mistakenly turn to «education is the answer.

In an economy based on consumer demand, the absence of income and credit growth means no economic growth.

The US economy cannot grow because corporations pushed by Wall Street have moved the US economy offshore. US manufactured products are made offshore.

Look at the labels on your clothes, your shoes, your eating and cooking utensils, your computers, whatever. US professional jobs such as software engineering have been moved offshore. An economy with an offshored economy is not an economy. All of this happened in full view, while well-paid free market shills declared that Americans were benefiting from giving America’s middle class jobs to China and India.

I have been exposing these lies for a decade or two, which is why I am no longer invited to speak at American universities or to American economic associations. Economists love the money that they receive for lying. A truth teller is the last thing that they want in their midst.

Obozo's Brain, Zbizgzniezv Zbrzezzinzskziz, on Why Russia and the Russian People Must be Destroyed

Zbigzsnozz Bzzrezzinskzizzz
Starting a war of criminal aggression is not something a normal person is inclined to do. Thus the President of the United States has a professional warmonger, the crackpot, Zbigniew Brzezinski, to make the call.

The name, obviously is important (Remember the ad for Smuckers jam: "with a name like that, it's got to be good"?). If it were, say, Jim Pollack or another such commonplace handle, nobody'd take the slightest notice of the crazy coot. But having an aristocratic sounding, unspellable Polish name makes all the difference. And then Zbigzzy talks in a fine hifalutin kind of academese, which involves repetitive use of words like "namely" and "concept," which make the advocacy of mass murder seem so much more reasonable. More decent even.

In this video (beginning at 14 min 15 seconds), we hear it directly from Zbzgzy, why the Unites States of Aggression should destroy Russia and the Russian people.
"What we are seeing in Ukraine ... namely, the gradual but steady emergence of Russia ... is a quasi mystical chauvinism ...

"Recently, the Russian International Affairs Council ... has come up with a report on Russia's national identity transformation and new foreign policy doctrine ...

"The key concepts of this report ... involve four basic concepts ...

"That of a divided people ...

"Secondly the theme of, quote, protecting compatriots abroad, end quote.

"Then, more broadly, the Russian World, "Russky Mir," in Russian, and the importance of acknowledging, and sustaining, embracing and promoting, quote, the Great Russian civilization."
What the fourth basic "concept" was, Zbzgz seems to have forgotten.

But there's the case for seeing Putin as the "new Hitler," the leader with a mystical view of the "Great Russian civilization." Of course the point is weakened a bit when one realizes that the "Great" in "Great Russian civilization" is simply a reference to the civilization of Great Russia, which is to say Russia excluding "Little Russia," i.e., Ukraine. To speak of the "Great Russian culture" is thus strictly analogous to speaking of the "Great British culture" with reference to the culture of Great Britain as opposed to that of Britanny, or Petite Bretagne (i.e., Little Britain), as it was known in Mediaeval times.

As for Russia being a divided people, well that's just a fact, but it has to be held against them since they might like to get together again as a united people, a vicious tendency only recently displayed by those damned Crimeans who exercised their UN Charter right to self-determination, and then decided to unite with the Russian Federation.

Equally vicious is the desire to protect compatriots abroad. Why, obviously they should let the Ukie Nazis genocide the Novorussians, all six million of them as Ukie Presidential Candidate Julia Tymoshenko planned to do, personally if possible, by machine gun.

But perhaps most evil of all, is that commitment to acknowledging, sustaining, etc., etc., the Great Russian civilization (i.e., the civilization of Great Russia, not the great civilization of Russia), you know, Leo Tolstoy, the Bolshoi Ballet, Yuri Gagarin and all that crap. As any well-brainwashed person knows, only the United States of Assassination should be free to protect and promote its culture of Coke, porn, atheism, child sexualization and the genocide of the nations of the world.

So there it is. The US of Aggression gets to overthrow the government of Russia's neighbor, Ukraine, in a violent coup d'état, thereby empowering a bunch of Nazi fanatics with a long track record of genocidal activity, and then declares it to be justification for military action against Russia, if Russia seeks to protect the lives and liberty of its compatriots in Ukraine.

GM Versus BP

Every year, thousands of Americans as well as citizens abroad are killed or injured in accidents involving automobiles manufactured by General Motors Corporation. Many of these deaths and injuries could be avoided by automobile design changes, some of them quite trivial. But as in the case of the Chevy Cruze ignition switch defect, known to have been the cause of multiple deaths, GM is inclined to ignore such hazards to its customers rather than incur minimal costs. Following the exposure of GM's disregard for life and limb, the company has been fined $35 million by the US Transportation Safety Administration. In Canada and elsewhere, however, GM has suffered no penalty whatever.

In contrast with the indulgent attitude of American government and legal authorities toward death through negligence by the country's largest manufacturing company, the same authorities seem determined to do what they can to destroy BP, a foreign-based company, for an accident in the Gulf of Mexico that killed 11 oil-rig workers and injured others. So far the Deep Water Horizon blowout has cost BP over $40 billion dollars, a thousand times as much as the penalty imposed on GM for deliberately ignoring a fatal hazard, with the final cost to BP undetermined but potentially much greater.

Why the difference in treatment? No doubt the answer is complex. It is notable, however, that whereas GM deliberately ignored lethal defects in its product to achieve trivial savings, BP's Gulf oil spill was the result of errors and derelictions of duty mainly by its contractors and suppliers, including:
What these contrasting cases suggest about the future of American capitalism is not encouraging. Moreover they are not encouraging for those concerned with the welfare of American workers and consumers, for it suggests that what corporations will in future focus on is not product and workplace safety but influence in Washington, DC.

Who Seized What in Ukraine?

While the Western corpo. media and twats like Harper and Cameroon bloviate about Russia's "seizure" of Crimea, albeit the result of a bloodless democratic process that returned to Russia a majority Russian population of a region that has been part of Russia since before the US of Aggression even existed, the US-backed Nazi-driven takeover of Eastern Ukraine continues amid much bloodshed and under the guidance of the NeoCon New World Order/Chatham House/NATO/US State Department stooge, Arse Yatsenyuk.

According to a situation report via the Saker's blog, the Ukrainian agents of the New World Order are today bombing and shelling civilian targets and taking hostages in Eastern Ukraine where the people have the temerity to oppose the rule of the US-created junta in Kiev in which the military and security services are under firm Neo-Nazi control and are operating in true Nazi fashion.

What is extraordinary is not the vile criminality of the actions of the ruling agents imposed on the people of Ukraine by the criminals in Washington and London, but the dumb, stupid acceptance throughout the West of the imperialist lies of the US and its allies, who use Nazi agents against those they brand as Hitlerites.

Stephen Harper's Belligerent Russophobia

Steve Harper is sending 75 Canadian soldiers to Europe to combat Putin menace.

No disrespect to our brave men and women in uniform, but, LOL.

Harper says Putin should be allowed at D-Day ceremonies in Normandy commemorating the allied defeat of Nazi Germany. (Yes, believe it or not — and listening to Stephen Harper, you probably wouldn't — those damn Ruskies were our allies in both World Wars and did most of the dying on both occasions.) And with several hundred times as many Russian war dead as Canadian, Harper's granting Putin permission like that is generous — not. Anyhow it's not Canada that's issuing the invitations to these ceremonies on French soil.

So what's with our Stevie? Why this clowning insolence toward Russia, a full-spectrum nuclear superpower, by the leader of a country with a negligible military budget and fewer soldiers than Toronto has police officers?

Does Harper believe that most of the one million or so Ukrainian Canadians are Nazi-loving Russophobes who will vote Tory in next year's Federal election because of Harper's support (including $220 million in Canadian taxpayers' cash) for the Kiev government that came to power by means of an anti-constitutional coup and whose first act was an attempt to deprive Ukraine's ethnic minorities of the right to use their native language? (It would be good to hear from some of them: real live Canadian neo-Nazi Ukrainian nationalists, that is. I'm sure we'd all like to know what it is, exactly, that they think Canada owes them in the way of backing their fascistic kinsmen back home.)

Or is Harper a closet Nazi? Does he secretly lust to use the the Royal Canadian Air Force as the Kyiv junta is using Ukie Sukhoi jet fighters and helicopter gunships to terrorize troublesome provinces? Does he long to emulate Kyiv in deploying death squads against anti-government trouble-makers across the land?

Or is our Stevie the Eric Honecker of the West, the ultra-loyal imperial satrap, relentlessly following orders from Moscow — I mean Washington?

Yeah. That's probably it. Our Stevie's been tasked with distracting attention from the war crimes of our friends in Kiev by hootin' and hollerin' that Putin's a Commie dictator planning to rule the whole world.

Damn Putin: He Shouldn't Be Allowed to Comment in Public

RT, June 05, 2014: Vladimir Putin faced a barrage of tricky questions from French media ahead of his meeting with world leaders at the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings. Here are his best replies on key issues: Ukraine, Crimea and relations with the US.

On Ukraine, its sovereignty and Russian troops:

The ongoing crisis in Ukraine has been occupying the center of international attention since the end of last year. While the coup-appointed government in Kiev is carrying out a military crackdown on the southeast of the country, the US said that Russian troops are allegedly involved in the crisis and they have proof of that.

“What about proof? Why don’t they show it?” Putin told French media.

“The entire world remembers the US Secretary of State demonstrating the evidence of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction, waving around some test tube with washing powder in the UN Security Council. Eventually, the US troops invaded Iraq, Saddam Hussein was hanged and later it turned out there had never been any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. You know – it’s one thing to say things and another to actually have evidence.”

The victors of the Maidan coup d'etat, Oleg Tyagnibok (a sitting deputat of Ukraine Rada) and Dmitro Yarush, leaders of Svoboda Party and Right Sector Party respectively, had stated, during a live interview on Channel 5 TV in Kiev on 27 February 2014, that they were going to lead their combined 5500 fighters from Miadan down to Krim and Sevastopol and 'kill every Russian there' combined with 'we will put every Russian in Krim to the knife'. ...

On 02 May there was a football match in Odessa on the south coast of Ukraine. We all know what happened in Odessa with the massacre of the anti Kiev demonstrators, unarmed demonstrators, in and around the Labor Union Building in Odessa as they were beaten, shot and burned to death. What you don't know is the true number of dead that day and evening. 297 anti Kiev demonstrators AND innocents died that day. Over 50 were in hospital. Some of those who jumped from the entrance hall stairway at the fourth and fifth floor levels were beaten to death as they lay on the ground. Others were made to crawl away, severely injured, and were kicked and beaten as they crawled to the pile of wounded.

To this day not a single western government that I am aware of has expressed the slightest sympathy or condolences for any of the wounded or dead in Odessa....

Yesterday, 03 June 2014, shortly after noon local time there was an attack on the Lugansk City Administration Building in the center of Lugansk by a single Ukrainian Air Force Sukhoi 25 ground attack airplane. He fired a single volley of missiles at the front of the building. Yes, the building is the titular headquarters of Donbas Republic but 95% of the offices and workers in that building are city administration workers, civilians doing their work for the citizens of Lugansk and most of whom have worked there for years. Ukraine well knew that fact and attacked. The impact of the rockets are well documented in many videos extant on the internet ...
So far Stephen Harper has failed to comment. Apparently, Canada's one million plus citizens of Ukrainian extraction are all Russophobic Nazi sympathizers, or at least, that must be Stephen Harper's calculation since he seems to think it a fine thing for the Kiev junta to kill as many Russian-speaking Unkrainians as possible.

Snowden, Assange and Chomsky, 9/11 and the People's Right to Know What Government Does in Their Name

During a recent NBC News interview, former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, remarked in unaired comments (now on U-Tube) concerning 9/11:
... what they [the 9/11 Commission] found, in the post-mortem, when they looked at all of the classified intelligence from all of the different intelligence agencies, they found that we had all of the information we needed as an intelligence community, as a classified sector, as the national defense of the United States to detect this plot. We actually had records of the phone calls from the United States and out. The CIA knew who these guys were. The problem was not that we weren’t collecting information, it wasn’t that we didn’t have enough dots, it wasn’t that we didn’t have a haystack, it was that we did not understand the haystack that we have.
Interesting, isn't it. All these heroic defenders of the people's right to be informed, Chomsky, Assange, and now Ed Snowden, have no doubts about the official story on 9/11: those 19 Muslim fanatics with box cutters did it all on their own, defeating the world's most expensive air defense system in the process.

What's more, Snowden, as he has now confessed, was (still is?) a spy for the CIA and NSA. Makes you wonder dunnit: is that heroic defender of the people's right to know, Julian Assange, CIA too? Some astute people certainly think so. Why not Chomsky too? The dean of leftist criticism of the American Empire, he had the perfect cover to visit Latin America, meet the leftists and revolutionaries, return home and shop them.

In fact, it would be bizarre — evidence indeed of gross incompetence — for the United States of Artifice, not to dominate the alt. media and the lib-left activist space with pseudo-revolutionaries and leftist fakesters.

And now not only Noam Chomsky, but also Daniel Ellsberg of the CIA, comes to the support of Ed Snowden,

The More the West Looks Like Detroit, the More It's Winning

Can anything be more disgusting than hearing that filthy rich, senile slimebag, George Soros, the Jew whose happiest days were spent betraying Hungarian Jews to the Nazis during WWII, explaining how the civil war that he and other Anglo-Zionist imperialist oligarcharchs are driving in Ukraine with the aid of Nazi death squads, people directly linked with the mass murder of Kiev's Jews during WWII, is a war on Russian Nazism?

Meantime, while Russia's detractors sneer that Russia's GDP is barely larger than that of Italy, America's GDP shrinks, even according to official estimates, whereas Russia's GDP has quadrupled in the last 15 years, outpacing even China's. True America's GDP per capita is three times Russia's, but in what exactly does the American advantage consist?

Healthcare at 20% of GDP and rising strongly under the impetus of "Obamacare," versus 10% or less in other, healthier developed countries such as Slovenia, and only 7% in Russia, where the chief health problems are to do with bad lifestyle choices, drugs, vodka and AIDS, not lack of healthcare spending.

But then there's education. No country surely spends more than the US, especially on salaries of university presidents and football coaches, even though American professors mostly disdain teaching, leaving it to desperate adjuncts on minimum wage to educate the next generation of American scientists and engineers, assuming anyone in America bothers to study the hard subjects now that manufacturing has been largely off-shored for the maximization of profits at WalMart, IBM, Apple, etc.

Meantime, at the imperial periphery, youth unemployment nudges 50%, in Greece, Spain and Italy, and, among black youth, back in the homeland too.

Apparently, this is the way forward. Chaos abroad, mass unemployment and social decay at home.But according to the leadership it's better than being Nazi — But of course we have to work with, and act like, Nazis, the better to beat them.

How Long Can Western Elites Continue Branding the Largest Popular Faction "Far Right," "Extremist," and "Anti-Semitic"?

The essential thing to understand about the latest European Parliamentary election in which the mainstream parties of Britain, France, Denmark and Austria were trounced by national sovereigntists is that there has been a victory for the hateful forces of the "Far right," of "extremism," of anti-Semitism and of homophobia. Or so the corporate media and those speaking for the threatened establishment will tell you.

To most of those who are the beneficiary of a dozen or more years of daily indoctrination by the state in the name of "public education," this will be a perfectly reasonable explanation. Europe, they understand, is under threat from Hitlerites driven by irrational hatreds who must be beaten back by every means at the disposal of the state and the corporate media: including state infiltration and internal disruption of political parties, politically correct hate speech directed at the "Fascist enemies of decency and tolerance," and rigorous enforcement of legal restraints on politically incorrect speech and behavior.

But for the substantial minority of the European populace for whom the Eurovision Song Contest is evidence not of benign tolerance but of a conspiracy to destroy Western civilization and the European people, politics should not be about promoting child sex, aberrant sex, banning use of the national flag, the mass occupation of one's homeland by people from elsewhere, or of allegiance to a foreign state, but about survival, earning a living, buying a home, raising a family, defending the homeland from a mass influx of foreigners, from Vikings of old to Muslim Settlers of the present day.

The great danger for today's treasonous Western elites, who have submitted to the plan for a global empire ruled by a plutocratic oligarchy, is that the urge to hate, which they have cultivated as a powerful weapon for the promotion of political correctness, may escape their control and be turned against them.

Clinton Was Right: What's Happened to Ukraine Is Reminiscent of Hitler's Occupation of the Sudentenland — the US Being the Occupier

Hitler's ambition was to fulfill Bismark's dream of a European empire incorporating all of central and Eastern Europe, including Ukraine and Belarus. Hitler's first step on that Eastward march was the occupation of the Sudetenland — a step taken in accordance with an international agreement negotiated by Britain's Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain.

America's NeoCons dream is of a Eurasian empire stretching from Iceland and the Azores to Vladivostok, and the Sea of Okhosk, incorporating not only Western and Central Europe, but all of the former Soviet Union with it's vast storehouse of natural resources.

The US-instigated, Nazi-backed coup against the  democratically elected government of Ukraine was the first step on that NeoCon imperial adventure and thus bears a strong resemblance to Hitler's occupation of the Sudetenland. In each case, the transaction was unapproved by, and against the wishes of, the population of the country affected.

For Hitler, the next step on his the Eastward march was the rape of Poland, a joint venture with Stalin. For the US, the next step in the Eastward march requires the full collaboration of the EU, contrary to the will of the people of the Western European states. To win EU support,therefore, the NeoCon strategy is to goad Russia into an occupation of Ukraine, which will unnerve the Europeans sufficiently to enable the Empire to  drive Western Europe to war with Russia.

Hence the multiple provocations of the Kyiv junta, intended to inflame the feelings of both Russians and Russian-speakers in Ukraine: the deployment of Nazis and their fellow travelers in the rebel government; threats to the language rights of the Russian-speaking majority in Eastern Ukraine; the sniper killings of both police and demonstrators during the EuroMaidan riots; the atrocities committed by agents of the Kyiv junta in Odessa and in Eastern Ukraine; the CIA chief in Kyiv; hundreds of US mercenaries in Ukraine; the US Vice-President giving directions to the Kyiv junta. All these factors indicate that the coup in Kyiv was a US psyop: the beginning of a fourth generation war targeting Russia, the object being to provoke, provoke and provoke until Russia is forced to react, thereby providing the propaganda pretext for an all out US-NATO war on Russia.

Instead, Russia merely took back Crimea, a vital strategic asset, dominating the Black Sea, the gateway to the vast majority of Russia's sea-borne trade. Russian territory since before the founding of the United States of America, Crimea returned to Russian control without bloodshed and with a democratic mandate provided by the majority Russian population, for the most part very glad to return to the motherland.

Score the first point to Russia. The return of Crimea to Russia is irreversible and does nothing to spook peace-loving Europeans into a Hitlerite lust for Eastward expansion. Hence the driveling comparison of Putin with Hitler by the likes of Hilary Clinton, as the US of Aggression consorts with real Hitlerite racists and terrorists in Kyiv. That the Putin–Hitler analogy is drivel is only confirmed by its silly repetition by the fatuous, vain, and common-sense challenged, constitutionally improper, heir to the British throne, Prince Charles.

US-EU sanctions against Russia are proving, it seems, to be equally counter-productive. They provide Russia justification, in the name of reciprocation, in denying entry to every NeoCon subversive who might like to hand out cookies while stoking anti-Putin riots in  Moscow or encouraging acts of sodomy in a Moscow cathedral.

Russia has, furthermore, been provided with a perfect opportunity to penalize US-Government-backed globalist corporations to the benefit of domestic Russian undertakings. They have stuck Visa with a $3.8 billion penalty deposit, while threatening fines of $380 million per day  for discriminating against Russian customers. And a draft law submitted to the Russian parliament seeks to criminalize producers (i.e., Monsanto) of genetically-modified organisms harmful to health. Sponsors of the bill say that punishment for such deeds should be comparable to the punishment allotted to terrorists, if the perpetrators act knowingly and hurt many people.

An interesting view of the current state of play in the opening stages of this Third World War, launched by the US as a proof of concept of Fourth Generation Warfare technology, is provided by the Saker.

The hope on the US-Kyiv, Nazi side must be that Russia's oligarchs, denied political influence as the price of keeping their stolen easily acquired assets, will take a lesson from Ukraine, stab Putin in the back and assume the public position of authority that, despite their vast wealth, Putin has so unjustly and outrageously denied them.

Canada, like America's European tributaries, gives mighty verbal support for the empire, while anxiously awaiting the empire's demise. The end, like that of the Soviet Union, may be both abrupt and far sooner than anyone expected. Only by reverting to a semblance of decency, sanity, moderation and honor is the US likely to survive in anything like its present form. But reform is impossible when the emperor, his sycophants and his handlers are committed to creating their own reality. Instead, the gap between imperial fantasy and reality has become a yawning chasm.

America's Three Great Ukraine Problems

In Ukraine, the United States has launched another in it's seemingly endless sequence of dirty wars of imperial expansion employing every criminal tactic, including atrocities against civilians, in alliance with the scum of the earth from Al Qaeda and cannibals in Syria to Nazis and Zionists in Ukraine. However, in attempting to subjugate Ukraine to the will of the empire, America faces three great problems.

One problem is that the struggle in Ukraine is closely monitored by Russia, a greatly interested party, which means that the public in the West will not likely remain entirely oblivious to Anglo-American war crimes. The dirt on US actions in Ukraine is being dished publicly via non-Western-controlled English language media. The West's highly concentrated corporate media will endeavor to maintain a bodyguard of lies to conceal the truth about American-instigated war crimes in Ukraine, but the truth will seep out, drip by drip.

The second great problem is that Russia is affected too closely by the struggle in Ukraine to stand idly by, since the action in Ukraine is clearly intended as a prelude to the progressive Western domination of Eurasia. Americans tend to dismiss Russian power with sneers about a "gas station masquerading as a country," and by pointing to the relative insignificance of Russia's GDP compared with that of America. However, when oil accounts for close on 5% of world GDP and underlies the war making power of any nation, being the world's number 1 oil producer with 13.25% of global production is nothing to sneer at.

Moreover,  power bears only the most tenuous connection with GDP as a comparison of, say, Athens with Sparta confirms. America's GDP may in nominal terms be the largest in the world but it consists mainly of things that few people really need, and most do without. That Russians mainly do without spending almost a fifth of their wealth on healthcare and huge amounts more on legal services, advertising, entertainment, construction of MacMansions and the filling thereof with stuff means that Russia has a far greater proportion of national talent available for things like intelligence gathering, cyber-warfare research, weapons system design, etc. So by confronting Russia in Ukraine, America has gone up against a very tough opponent: a superpower, in fact, with 1700 nukes and the means to deliver them.

Third, Russia does not stand alone. The Chinese know that if Russia falls to American aggression they will be targeted next. Moreover Europe cannot be indifferent. Russia is the EU's third largest single-country trade partner, and increasingly, Europe's gateway to Asia. Eurasia is ceasing to be a collection of peripheral entities chiefly connected by water and is increasingly an integrated block connected by roads, railways, pipelines and air routes. Russia forms the hub of that integrating economic colossus. Thus, for Europe, America's attempt to smash Russia is highly problematic. It most likely means war on their doorstep, damage or total destruction of important and growing commercial relations and, perhaps most objectionable of all, continuation of American occupation of Europe.

America can either abandon its reckless adventure in East Europe and withdraw to the homeland still with some dignity intact, restore its industrial base, repair its relations throughout the Western hemisphere, particularly the nations of Latin America, and thrive for generations to come, or it can push on to what seems increasingly certain self-destruction in an insane and criminal drive for world domination.

Ukraine: A Country That Even Ukrainians Do Not Love

Ukraine, the largest country in Europe, has a fine climate, a warm sea coast, the world's most productive arable lands, a gifted people, no entangling alliances — free of the Soviet Union, outside of both NATO and the EU — well disposed neighbors, and a location at a crossroads of Eurasia.

So what do they do? Institute a Nazi-dominated government; embark on a genocidal civil war; seek membership of the EU and NATO; and declare an unquenchable hatred of their neighbor, the Russian superstate.

Could this really be what Ukrainians want?

Do they truly wish to become a base for US nukes targeting  Russia; to be a dumping ground for EU products that will annihilate their own manufacturing sector; to suffer the universal contempt for those who embrace Nazism; to spurn the use of the Russian language, the language of their largest trade partner; to experience Greek-style EU-imposed austerity while Ukraine's natural assets, its agricultural lands, its waterfront real estate, its mines and minerals are sold at fire-sale prices to global corporations; to see their most talented young people opt for careers in London or Paris, Moscow or Berlin?

The people of Eastern Ukraine evidently do not. They are voting to leave Ukraine, which is to say they are voting to opt out of the US-occupied, oligarch-infested Ukraine dominated by the illegitimate authorities in Kyiv. The people of Western and Southern Ukraine should do likewise.

Why Stephen Harper Has Sent Canadian Armed Forces to Back a Nazi Government in Ukraine

Stephen Harper has dispatched Canadian air, sea and land forces to Europe in support of Ukraine's violent Nazi-backed junta because he is a strategist. A strategist is one who adapts every action to serve a long-term goal, as opposed to a person of principle, who adapts every action to their understanding of the rules of right conduct.

Harper, in other words, is an unprincipled scoundrel, which is to say a successful politician. His long term goal presumably entails winning the 2015 Federal election, which means, among other things, keeping onside with the Obama Administration that, given its track record throughout the rest of the world, would knock over the government of Canada on the slightest whim.

Canada's military role in the Ukraine "crisis" is thus subordinate to the interest of the United States of Aggression, aka, the World Hegemon, although Harper maybe an enthusiast in his own right for Anglo-American world empire. In its subordinate role, as a tributary of the new Rome, which already approaches in depravity the old Rome in its final decay, Canada's objective in Europe is to facilitate the destruction of Russia, for as Zbigniev Brzezinski states in the Grand Chessboard:
... it is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America.
Ukraine is thus of no significance to the US except as a means to an end. Since the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991, Ukraine has served as a buffer between the Nato states and Russia. To attack Russia, that buffer had to be removed. Once the legitimate government of President Yanukovich rejected the EU's terms for associate membership with the implication of early Nato admission, Yanukovich's presidency was doomed. The US State Department and CIA engineered a coup d'état, using Ukraine's Nazis and their affiliates to provide the criminal violence necessary to overthrow the elected government and to take command of the security service, the police and the armed forces of the usurping authority.

Having acquired the means, the challenge for the empire was how to use Ukraine to destroy Russia. The method was to use the Nazi usurpers in Kyiv to threaten and brutalize Ukraine's Russian-speaking majority and the large ethnic Russian minority. This was done by threatening legislation to ban the use of Russian as an official language, and by deploying Nazi thugs and CIA-supplied mercenaries to commit atrocities in Odessa, and Eastern Ukraine. The aim was to incite a Russian invasion under the US-invented notion of "Responsibility to Protect," which lacks any basis in international law.

Russia, however, scammed Obarmy, winner of the Nobel Piss Prize, a bauble granted by an organization now under criminal investigation, by organizing a bloodless and democratic takeover of Crimea, the home of Russia's Black Sea fleet since 1783, or as long as the United States has existed as an independent nation. But as for the struggle between Nazi West Ukraine and the Russian-speaking South and East, Putin has sidestepped the trap: the dispute must be settled, he says, by negotiation between East and West Ukraine.

Which means Stephen Harper now looks more than a little stupid with his six ancient war planes based in Romania, one small boat diverted from supposedly intimidating Iran (which has supersonic Sunburn cruise missiles aimed at every alien vessel afloat in the Persian Gulf) to somehow intimidating Russia, and 250 of our brave men at arms (or two-and-a-half percent of our entire army) on the ground in Poland. But there ain't nothing for our guys to do since Putin has left it to the US of Accusation and the EU to clean up for themselves the mess they've made, while hugely insulting US Secretary of State Kerry, by doing precisely what Kerry said "you just do not in the 21st Century" do — i.e., recovering the Russian territory of Crimea without a shot fired and with a democratic mandate.

No doubt the effort to make the destruction of Ukraine as a civilized country pay off for the empire will long continue. With the CIA, the FBI and hundreds of US-paid mercenaries on the loose in Ukraine, many ugly crimes and false flag operations likely remain to be perpetrated. This after all, is how people like Obama and Hilary, I-Came-I-Saw-He-Died-LOL, Klingon get their kicks.

The problem for Ukraine's Foreign Ministry is that Ukraine's Government, including the Foreign Ministry, is certainly criminal, if no farce, and was created through US intervention in conscious violation of Ukraine's constitution and laws. Under such circumstances, democratic action achieves the moral status of lawful government.

The same goes, of course, for the junta freaks whose forces have acted with special brutality during repressive operations in the city of Mariupol. As for the AngloZionist Empire, it is organizing all sorts of military maneuvers in Poland, the Baltic states and elsewhere...

The Gurudian: Russia demands $3.8bn security deposit from Visa and Mastercard
Visa described the regulations as "unprecedented"
They got a precedent now: sanctions work both ways and when US financial services companies earn more from Russia than Russian financial services companies earn from the US, the appeal to Russia of responding to Western sanctions on Russian companies with punitive sanctions on American companies just proved to be irresistible.
The new law forbids international payment systems from cutting off services to Russian clients and obliges them to base their processing centre in Russia. To ensure their good behaviour, international operators will have to place a security deposit in Russia's central bank equal to the average value of two days' worth of transactions.

Visa and Mastercard together processed $1.9bn (£1.12bn) in transactions per day last year – 90% of all cashless payments in Russia – equal to a $3.8bn security deposit, the Moscow Times reported.

The security deposit will be due in eight quarterly payments starting on 1 July. The law states that if a payment system unilaterally freezes operations for a Russian client, it is liable for a fee totalling 10% of its security deposit for each day without service.
Sheesh. That must make Kerry and Obarmy really popular with the stock holders.

If it comes to a case of tit-for-tat, Ukraine and the NATO countries including Rumania may find more inconvenience in being unable to fly over Russia, than Russia finds in being unable to fly over Ukraine.

In fact, most direct flights from New York, Los Angeles, and London, to China, India and Japan follow great circle routes over Russia. Soon passengers may expect to pay higher fares and endure longer journeys because the US is determined to bait the Russian Bear — at any cost, apparently.

But cutting off their noses to spite their faces seems to be what all Nato and wannabe Nato countries are presently into.

G & M: Harper’s handling of Ukraine
“We’ve got a diaspora-driven foreign policy,” Christopher Westdal, former Canadian ambassador to both Ukraine and Russia, told The Globe and Mail. “It might work at the polls, but it doesn’t do much good in the world.”

Mr. Westdal and others argue Canada should be quietly seeking to build bridges with Moscow in an effort to diffuse the crisis. Instead, John Baird stood with the protesters in Independence Square in December, even though Viktor Yanukovych was still president. Canada’s foreign-affairs minister returned to Kiev within days of Mr. Yanukovych’s overthrow.

The German government is desperate to distance itself from the US.

German public is fully aware of the US instigation of the crisis in Ukraine and the tipping point in Germany is quickly being reached.

Elections are looming for both the EU and Germany.

Merkel has that firmly in mind.

The Germans (in broad terms) consider themselves closer to Russia than to the spent US empire. They know the sun is setting over the fools in Washington and want no further part of it.

Trade and commerce is vital to Germany - the type that will flow from the Eurasian trade alliance. Germany cannot afford to miss out.

Bild recently published an article about the coup and Ukraine crisis that made reference to the CIA controllers - undoubtedly information leaked by the German government through the security/intelligence services.

This is a sure sign that all is not going to plan for the US controlling elite. Their heads will be spinning as they expected Russian troops in Ukraine by now.
