Thanks to kind help of ‘sparling-05’ I can post the full press conference of the Russian delegation at PACE. I think that seeing this historical moment on video with subtitles give us a much better sense of the atmosphere in which it took place and of the overt and rude hostility of the presstitutes present.
Enjoy!

The Obama Game: Is Putin Being Lured Into a Trap?
http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-obama-game-is-putin-being-lured-into-a-trap/5377904
“Wolfowitz figured the moment would come when the US would have to square off with Moscow in order to pursue it’s imperial strategy in Asia.
Putin doesn’t seem to grasp that yet. He still clings to the misguided notion that rational people will find rational solutions to end the crisis.
But he’s mistaken. Washington does not want a peaceful solution. Washington wants a confrontation. Washington wants to draw Moscow into a long-term conflict in Ukraine that will recreate Afghanistan in the 1990s. That’s the goal, to lure Putin into a military quagmire that will discredit him in the eyes of the world, isolate Russia from its allies, put strains on new alliances, undermine the Russian economy, pit Russian troops against US-backed armed mercenaries and Special Ops, destroy Russian relations with business partners in the EU, and create a justification for NATO intervention followed by the deployment of nuclear weapons on Ukrainian territory. That’s the gameplan.
Why doesn’t Putin see that?”
I have watched Lavrov, Churkin, Pushkov and they are wonderful orators, their message is again and again to solve things by negotiation, and they sound sincere (which is one reason the message is so foreceful). In comparison, I watch western speakers, and most are robotic automatons narrating the script which I am not sure even they believe (the average man in the street is even more sceptical; hardly suprising after years of lying and fostering illicit criminal wars). Your idea with a message of support was good, I just wish it could be extended to Pushko and Churkin.
(Btw, not sure who the older man who speaks towards the end is, but he makes a wise and measured statement).
WOW. He left no stone unturned in Russian, but really hammered it home in French. The entire delegation were very effective, each in their own way.
Otoh, will it even make a matter? The bureaucrats there are already quite comfortably in the pockets of whomever named them — would even one of them presume to object to the marching orders they’ve been given? The only people we’ve seen so far acting on their own conscience, and awareness of the humanity of those about to be victimized, are the Ukrainian police and military who won’t fight against their fellow citizens. (That would never happen in the US, btw, and certainly doesn’t look like it would happen very often anywhere in Western Europe at the moment either.)
Yes, Nora, it does all seem like a kangaroo court in which conclusions are predetermined (or a kangaroo assembly in this case). All the more we should be thankful to these people : it is not at all easy to speak clearly, when it weighs down on you that no one listens.

Those supposed journalists are just saboteurs, trying to stop the comunications. I didnt see those guys doing the same to Obama.

Hello Saker,
I live in a village full of vineyard.
The only time I had drink russian wine, crimean wine I think, it was awfull.
However, the things that came to me are not all the things, and not always the interesting ones. Perhaps, it is old burned wine.
But it is not the main subject of my post.
Could you give me informations about the democracy in Ukraine?
About the future elections.
About the behaviour of the ukrainian deputies.
Indeed, it is a usual thing in the american&occidental block to legitimate the new ukrainian governement by the vote of the deputies, which are for the main part, members of the yanukovich party or the comunist party.
How it is possible that these deputies vote for the new governement, even in his most extremist decisions?
I think it is an interesting subject because it is the basis of the new gov legitimity, if exists.

Why is the whole thing repeated twice on the video? I quit watching at the point where it started again at the beginning, so I don’t know if anything whatever in the second half is different from the first, but I’m not going to watch it twice to find out.

Спасибо! Песню Зои Ященко я знал, но видео вижу в первый раз а так как я сам внук “недобитых белобандитов” у меня в душе вся трагедия этой страшной гражданской войны живет и всегда болеет. Сморю кадры и думаю о моей семье, и представляю себе как она отстреливаясь от комиссаров под Новороссийском оказалась на чужбине. Но как писал Волошин, “молюсь за тех и за других”.
С наступающим праздником, всего доброго,

Putin I would imagine, understands the USA and its ruling class and their masters in Israel, well. Their duplicity, arrogance, preference for violence and love of their power to inflict death, destruction and suffering on others have been plain to see, for centuries. This current upsurge of elite aggression has the hallmarks of an End Times confrontation, deliberately engineered.
One might imagine that the Dominionist loonies had finally taken complete control, and were set on extending ‘God’s Kingdom’ across the world. Or that some other type of ‘Christian’ lunatics had decided it was time for Armageddon and the confrontation with Gog and Magog (Russia and China). Or are Netan-yahoo and his Judeofascist coterie finally determined to establish Eretz Yisrael, ‘from the Nile to the Euphrates’ in the preferred manner, through oceans of blood. Or is it just that the US economy and that of the West, thoroughly controlled by the financiers, mired in debt, burdened by inequality and poverty, with its education and other infrastructure crumbling, sees aggression as a diversion for the proles and a last throw of the dice, to prevent their inevitable collapse, one that would unleash social hell in the paranoid and heavily-armed USA? Whatever it be, and a combination of all of the above (with ecological collapse a grim guest at the banquet of disasters)seems most probable, it looks awfully like a major catastrophe is inevitable, because of Western aggression and intransigence, and nothing else.

The SIMPLE SOLUTION down the road is for RUSSIA to simply Put the appropriate weapons systems in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua!
