This is the except in which Russia and the Ukraine are mentioned:
(…) Russia’s actions in Ukraine challenge this post-war order. Here are the facts. After the people of Ukraine mobilized popular protests and calls for reform, their corrupt President fled. Against the will of the government in Kiev, Crimea was annexed. Russia poured arms into Eastern Ukraine, fueling violent separatists and a conflict that has killed thousands. When a civilian airliner was shot down from areas that these proxies controlled, they refused to allow access to the crash for days. When Ukraine started to reassert control over its territory, Russia gave up the pretense of merely supporting the separatists, and moved troops across the border.
This is a vision of the world in which might makes right – a world in which one nation’s borders can be redrawn by another, and civilized people are not allowed to recover the remains of their loved ones because of the truth that might be revealed. America stands for something different. We believe that right makes might – that bigger nations should not be able to bully smaller ones; that people should be able to choose their own future.
These are simple truths, but they must be defended. America and our allies will support the people of Ukraine as they develop their democracy and economy. We will reinforce our NATO allies, and uphold our commitment to collective defense. We will impose a cost on Russia for aggression, and counter falsehoods with the truth. We call upon others to join us on the right side of history – for while small gains can be won at the barrel of a gun, they will ultimately be turned back if enough voices support the freedom of nations and peoples to make their own decisions.
Moreover, a different path is available – the path of diplomacy and peace and the ideals this institution is designed to uphold. The recent cease-fire agreement in Ukraine offers an opening to achieve that objective. If Russia takes that path – a path that for stretches of the post-Cold War period resulted in prosperity for the Russian people – then we will lift our sanctions and welcome Russia’s role in addressing common challenges. That’s what the United States and Russia have been able to do in past years – from reducing our nuclear stockpiles to meet our obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, to cooperating to remove and destroy Syria’s declared chemical weapons. And that’s the kind of cooperation we are prepared to pursue again—if Russia changes course. (…)
Basically, this is the same line as Poroshenko (which is really unsurprising since they used pretty much the same speechwriters). The message to Russia is simple:”surrender or we will mobilize the entire planet against you”.
Foreign Minister Lavrov commented: “As for the U.S. President’s speech, we earned the second place among the threats to international peace and stability: number one is the Ebola virus, number two is the so-called Russian aggression in Europe and ISIL and other terrorists who are now taking hold of the Middle East and primarily of the countries, which have evidenced U.S. interventions, are ranked as number three.”
Feel the love :-)
The Saker
One important thing about O’criminal speech beside sandwiching Russia between a deadly virus Ebola and a Cia creation ISI was the sentence about International law and consequently UN Charter being redundant in our new century.And here lies the core of the new danger the world is facing .Evidently he is announcing to ROW that by empire diktat and exceptionalism the Rules of the Game have changed…And that doesn’t bode well for the future.I wonder if it struck you Saker or any of the readers because I saw that as the core message of this speech?
BCH
The Russia They Lost
Very good generational statement from young Russian.
If you keep telling lies long enough – it becomes truth, and if you fling enough mud, some will stick. That’s what the west is doing – I can’t listen to the local radio, or read the newspaper articles on most international news without yelling at the blatant untruths, lies and misinformation being peddled as gospel truth. The sad thing is – most average people get their news and form their views from this garbage, and the local Government, (the mad monk, Tony Abbot, and his shrill harpy of a foreign minister, Juli Bishop) seem in lockstep with this rubbish!
Thank god for the net and sites like this that enable the disemmination of facts, not propaganda.
Mo @ 19:00
Mohammed, what are you doing with this post of absurd predictions?
This is the internet – I can’t hear your voice or see the twinkle in your eye when you post something like this. Are you serious?

“One piece of happy news — apparently Col. Strelkov’s protege and now a battalion commander in his own right Motorola and his wife Elena are expecting after the newlyweds honeymoon in Crimea. Congratulations!”
I don’t know much about Motorola. His group seems to have very high moral, but some of the nonsense shown on youtube, like shooting a pistol at one of his men to test the man’s bulletproof vest seem like macho nonsense to me. Maybe it seems normal and reasonable to a young soldier.
Having failed to materialize a nuclear confrontation with Russia in a proxy war in the Ukraine, which the Russians have essentially won, the power behind Obama has now moved to use ISIS as the excuse for bombing the Syrian Assad regime and thereby achieving the confrontation with Russia that could not be gotten in Ukraine. The incredible transparency of this deceit is causing a profound crisis in the U.S. The Assad regime is one of the last remaining bulwarks keeping the jihadis from taking over the Middle East and turning their killers loose on the rest of humanity. Obama’s solution is to train more Jihadis and bomb the civilian populations that the Jihadis, like ISIS, are using for cover. The U.S. military opposes this plan, arguing that ISIS can only be defeated on the ground and this can’t be done without enlisting the cooperation of Syria, Iran and other primarily secular forces in the region. The bombing of ISIS in Syria is not only treason against the U.S. Constitution, but it is expected to cost $1 million per sortie.Yet no effort is being made to stop the funding of ISIS through oil sales via Turkey.
Meanwhile the China-India Summit has established the most far reaching strategic partnership. In this context Narendra Modi’s incredible speech to all primary school children of India, following the successful orbiting of Mars by an Indian satellite, is the most positive since John Kennedy. The hundreds of millions of children of India are now being brought into the same vision that was once the vision of North America fifty years ago. Narendra Modi and Xi Jing Ping are the new JFK’s. This is the only real antidote to ISIS and the jihadis which are created from poverty and despair. Now is the time to heed the call by Helga Zepp LaRouche to organize an all inclusive International Security Conference that will take into account the security of all nations. This call has special significance since the Chinese have acknowledged Helga as the “silk road lady” and the basis of their policy.
Without any coverage from the trans-Atlantic press dictatorship, the most dynamic and breathtaking developments in world history are occurring. It is now time to uplift the North American and European population from their incredible parochialism, myopia, and brainwashing.

Refrain from posting
Russia must be doing something right if it is being castigated by Obama.
Saker,
I sent you an article about Germany, ‘war guilt’ and Nazism in Ukraine. Hope you got it at the usual webmail account.
Also think this English subtitled video from Anti-Maidan YouTube about Aidar battalion rape and murders of women at a Lugansk region golf club is worth a post along with the beheaded bodies found northeast of Donetsk after the Donbas battalion and other Ukie Nazis retreated there.

re: “Obama places Russia between the Ebola virus and international terrorism”
At least Russia is real.
Pardon the cynicism, but so many things are simply orchestrated or hoaxes these days that it is hard for one’s cynicism to keep up.
I guess you pick a surreal topic, you get a surreal thread of comments – 75 comments and too crazy for me. Crazy.
@Everybody,
Thank you all for keep this thread so positive, either taking my predictions as humor and/or goodness, that goodness eventually trumps all evil.
It is dear Saker, who is in need of a much needed break from all this negativism. He has hear all day from us, and then go back at home at take care of his lovely family.
Let us help Saker, so that he can carry on with his good work.
Best regards to everyone,
Mohamed.
AGS said: This hatred of Islam is the zionification of US military — and the public. I bought-in to all that rubbish after 9-11 too. But its been several years since I woke-up to the BS and stopped being mesmerized by mossad-hasbara-foxnews crap.
I don’t know if all your predictions will unfold. But I hope so. And because I know God is in control. So good is the only possible outcome.
I have missed you brother. I love Saker —
Dearest Sister AGS,
Thank you for giving me your OIL. You are right that instead of giving our OIL to evil, we should save it for good. You are right that we all love dearest brother Saker, and most of our OIL is for him and his lovely family.
It is absolutely true and you are right that God is in control. A new day will down ….
I feel it in my old bones, that the rubbish of 9/11 will be the past before Obama leaves, just like the burial of Osama bin (son of) Laden. Hopefully, the fear will be the past.
Missed you sister too, with love and peace,
Mohamed.

It is OK tomorrow will be a better day, just relax and take a deep breath because political love is in the air.
We are on the peak and nothing will last forever, the Golden Age is just behind the corner. Before the order is always the chaos.
@WizOz said: He is a jester, like Nasreddin Hodja, like the majzub Abu Said. He teaches us making us laugh.
@Anunnaki said: I see him more like Juha
Dearest brother WizOz and Anunnaki,
Thank you both for considering me for such a high esteemed person. I wish I could be him. Yes, Mulla Nasruddin Khodja who the Arabs call Joha/Juha. He goes by various names in various cultures, but I believe that he is organically from Afghanistan. The Turks, Europeans and the Russians claim him too.
Lately, the Jews are claiming him too, so much the better.
His three stories I like the most are:
1. The kettle gives birth.
2. Joha, you can’t please everyone.
3. His sermon in the mosque that, “Do you know …..”
Thanks brothers!
With peace and love,
Mohamed.
The link to the Slayangrad article, the article is grand and nails the entire situation to a ‘T’. I remember 15 years ago sitting out back in Florida with a near neighbor, a bird colonel. We had both just returned from our respective operations, both of which were successful, and enjoying a dawn cup of coffee and smoke. We were both on leave. It was quiet, not a sound anywhere, just the sun slowly coming up in all it’s magnificence. We didn’t say a word for perhaps 30 minutes as we contemplated our coffees and had a smoke. He didn’t look up as he finally spoke. We are both Old School.
‘Top, what happened?’
‘You feel it too, sir.’
‘Yes. It is like we are suddenly not wanted here.’
‘I feel the same thing. It’s just the way people look at us, the body language of the civilians. There are no smiles at us now from anyone. Did we do something wrong? Hell, no civilian even knows what we do or where we go.’
We contemplated the coffee for some minutes.
‘It’s like we lost our honor.’
‘We didn’t lose our honor, sir. They lost theirs.’
That’s it in a nutshell. Our country has lost whatever honor it ever had. The lie is over, the truth is out. The Empire is in the slow downward spiral and will, in some decades, fade away.
Confirmation that Assad was forewarned.
“Syrian minister says U.S.-led strikes going in ‘right direction'”
“A Syrian government minister said U.S.-led air strikes against militants are going in the “right direction” because the government had been informed before they started and they were not hitting civilians or Syrian military targets.
“‘Notification of the Syrian government happened,’ he said. ‘Confirmation that they would not target Syrian military installations, and confirmation they would not target civilians happened.’
“The United States said on Tuesday that Washington’s envoy to the United Nations had told her Syrian counterpart air strikes would take place, but it has ruled out coordinating with Assad, whom Washington sees as part of the problem.”
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-syrian-minister-says-u-led-strikes-going-125734376.html
CBC said U.S. was “stunned” by Assad’s claims to have been forewarned. I assume that was the State Dept, since they sent Psaki out to deny it. Did Samantha Power stab neocon Kerry in the back? What next?

Yup.
The Teleprompter reads what scrolls by on his teleprompter, so what he repeated at the UN yesterday is not surprising at all. Actually, it is to be expected 100%.
To put Russia between Ebola and International Terrorism is quite apropos . . . coming from THE Terrorist Organization itself ~ The United States of Death, Disease and Destruction ~ and the Originator of this Ebola Virus.
Ebola 2.0 (there was a 1.0 when that book called “The Hot Zone” came out concurrently or shortly after that first outbreak in Africa) is the latest embodiment of the “War on Cancer” started by Tricky Dicky Nixon when he renamed the purposes of the US Chemical and Biological Warfare Program headquartered at Fort Detrick in Maryland since 1942.
The primary purpose of the “War on Cancer” is to kill off the “useless eaters” of the world, most especially the peoples of resource-rich Africa and India. AIDS was just not quick enough (some 5,000 Africans died per day). The sordid and real history of Yankee biowarfare against humanity since 1942 is well documented by one Donald W. Scott:

As to International Terrorism, who’s behind al-CIA-duh? Isn’t ISIS just al-CIA-duh 2.0? They may have pulled the name ISIS from Clinton’s ass (mouth): “It depends on what the definition of the word IS IS.”

Obama being a poor innocent in a den of wolverines…
But…
Obama picked them…
I think he’s a REALLY shallow guy that has an antipathy to the human race…he’s racist…even against blacks.
From what I’ve learned about his history, he’s a flippant, shallow, yellow-spined, serpent-type, that has no sense of truth and is a good actor.
I think these attributes describe a psychopath, but I’m afraid Obama doesn’t even fit that category, because he’s a coward.
His speech is an historic example of the evil-infested 21st century.
People will look back on this century and the one(s) that went before as the darkest time of the human race.
That is, if we survive…
To Respect Alternate View.
Your second post is very well written…it would be interesting to know your real name.
I think you are right in what you say, but it doesn’t change anything that the evil empire is doing.
How do you suggest we change the power structure in the US so it stops being an evil empire ?
Lies & Deceptions, the trademark of the beast…did you expect something else.
ob*m*, the voice of the serpent.
I don’t know what kind of hypnosis this guy is using, but it doesn’t work on me, yo
@Mohamed: You are 150% DELUSIONAL.
Or you are some disinformation or misinformation agent.
@Respect-alternate-view
Obama is a war criminal. Period. The idea he is dragging his feet is a cop out. How many people has Obama murdered in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Syria, not to mention in Yemen and other nations being hit by drone strikes?
In fact, Obama has surpassed Bush in terms of drone attacks around the world, including against even US citizens.
As for the USA not being evil and being unfairly demonized, get real. You are standing reality on its head.
America just loves to demonize OTHER countries or cultures as evil.
Demonizing “Evil-Doers Who Hate Our Freedoms” has become an American past-time right up there with football, NASCAR, and reality TV.
The USA demonized Communism during the Cold War.
The USA demonizes Latin Americans and Blacks in the War on Drugs.
The USA demonizes Muslims in the War on Terrorism.
The USA demonizes Russia and China, North Korea, etc in Cold War 2.0.
Somebody should tell Americans to STOP DEMONIZING other nations.

“Khorasan: the group that isn’t”
According to Imran Khan who did the research it’s a complete fiction.
http://blogs.aljazeera.com/blog/asia/khorasan-group-isnt
In addition: I recently saw someone commenting on here that they’d looked up Khorasan on google maps, finding a place in Iran.
Don’t you love how the ‘charming’ psychopath emits a string of lies that even the most casual observer knows are crude, impudent, untruths, then calls them ‘simple truths’. Orwell and Big Brother were beginners compared to this freak of nature, unnaturing.
WizOz, as observers as ancient as Tacitus have noted, Judaism is founded on fear and hatred of the other, to whit, the non-Jew, the goy. Of course not all Jews think like this, or merely differentiate themselves in harmless ways common to all singular ethic and religious groups, but the big-wigs and the religious fundamentalists certainly do. The treatment of the Palestinians, the ruthlessness and nepotism in business and indifference to the suffering of the goyim, the social savagery that has characterised the USA since Jews took over business, particularly finance, politics and the MSM and the drive to destroy all their neighbouring countries is proof positive of the doctrines outlined in the Talmud being put into action. The Jewish elite are most certainly not the only tiny religious, ethnic or ideological group to set out to exploit the rest of humanity, but they have been singularly persistent and successful at it, and now, with their control of the USA and the West, they are at the very pinnacle of their power. Only a Sophocles or Aeschylus could describe what, surely, must be to come.
Serendipity, the USA has been interested in biowarfare forever. They gave the monster Shiro Ishii of Unit 731 bio-warfare infamy, the human vivisectionist (even of children) and plague disseminator in China sanctuary after the war, in return for his ‘research’, then used it in Korea. They sent expeditions around the world ‘prospecting’ for interesting zoonoses, for ‘defensive purposes’ only, of course. I would bet my life that they have many pandemic diseases ready for use, and I’d also bet that like Israel and South Africa, they are researching ‘ethnically specific’ contagions, particularly those that could afflict ‘east Asians’.
A democracy is a system of government in which not only the voice of the people is heard but the interests andwellbeing of all citizens are paramount. The existence of classes poses a serious problem for democracy, since classes presuppose contradictory interests in different parts (the different classes) of the society. But capitalist society is premised on class—diametrically opposed interests for owners and workers, the exploitation of labor for investors’/employers’ profit. Hence, as a former student has said, “The agenda of capitalism is to … downgrade skilled workers…, [create a] willingness to work for lower wages…,” deny sustenance to single parents, and so forth. That is a remarkably anti-democratic agenda!
Capitalism is based on a power hierarchy in which investors/employers control the lives of those who work to create profits (capital). (Refer back to Parenti’s little book: Democracy For the Few, Chapter 2.) But democracy proposes that each person shall be an autonomous individual engaged in a commonendeavor to create the greatest possible advancement and self-expression of all persons. Capitalism is individualistic. Democracy is communitarian, i.e., it seeks to strike a balance among individual interests. Capitalism seeks benefits for a few based on the exploitation of the many. Democracy requires that people come together to decide what is in the best interests of the community as a whole, regardless of class-based or individual interests.
A fully functioning political democracy could not tolerate a capitalist economy. The power elite knows this, which is why the U.S. government has tried to subvert democracy in every country in which U.S. capitalists have tried to exploit resources and labor (see Parenti, chapter 10). A country in which the people as a whole actually make decisions about their common destiny would, of course, not permit such exploitation. “Democracy subverts capitalism”: it works on diametrically opposed principles of the value of human life and the worth of collective decision-making. The power elite does not have to take the same extreme steps in the U.S. because, as Domhoff explains throughout his book (and Parenti concurs in chapter 18 and the chapters on bureaucracy, the media and elections), it has already taken control of the “democratic” forms of the political system and has reduced political culture to mere “consumption” of the ideology of individualism and consumerism.
The myth of neoliberalism. Today’s elites are trying to convince us that it is necessary to create the weakest state, and free hands for free competition, let go forward to the strongest, most competitive, most viable. Then apparently appear real wealth- well being. The market will solve it. It smacks of hypocrisy and hypocritical it really is. I’ll try to say why.
The problem is that the power is on top of the seemingly strongest, but not the most viable or perhaps at the most competitive genuinely equal terms. If we take the analogy of nature, so while dinosaurs ruled the earth for hundreds of millions of years (‘s not so encouragingly sound :), but eventually died out and gave it up to much smaller mammals with larger brains. Constantly changing conditions – swing the changing environment. Just because they have grown too big, and their survival was based only on size and strength. Survivors of them smaller ones, like lizards, but the lizards on world domination, and even salamanders, can only dream of.
The most powerful states and powerful firms dinosaurs in many aspects resemble. Just read law of professor Parkinson and it is clear.
So why they for so long hold power? I would argue that it is not because of their competitiveness in the markets. It’s just that they have enormous power, and market efficiently bend in their favor. Approve a law tailor them, eat smaller competitors using dirty practices flatters population through the education system and the media. Stifling the economy and society.
How to compete with large corporations, when in contrast to small and medium do not pay taxes and drain the state? When corruption acquire the most lucrative (and overpriced) contracts just from the state, which is said to be their enemy? When the state sanitates their losses because they are too big to fail? When you leave the lobbyists to pass laws that provide them with taxes less than that of small and medium-sized companies and, where appropriate, no?
What is destroying them is exactly what is hiding while walking with falsehood. It is the power of reality, thus real market laws. With dirty practices (which have been under socialism, the state was universal monopoly) bending market, the economic strength of today’s dinosaurs visibly crumbling. The state may indeed not be the best manager, but if not just a puppet in the hands of corporations and banks, drive the market far better than do banks and big players. For the benefit of the majority of the population and greater prosperity.
obummer and his Orwellian satanic doublespeaking lies: ‘We believe that right makes might’ – ONLY if it is based on TRUTH; if, as it is with the USG, the biggest terrorist organisation on earth – it is based on LIES then it is clearly NOT.
Prosperity is now replaced by repression, democratic deficit, strengthening the mendacious media and power solutions at home and abroad. It leads to wars and killing its own people as well as in the past – history is littered with examples of crimes of imperialism. Recent examples of crimes and lies we see in Ukraine. We also see examples of stupidity of dinosaurs. They write about people who can not be suspected of Russophilism or love for communism.
What makes a parody of democracy as humble servant of the state elites and the rest of society is not the enemy of market. It’s not even liberalism. It’s neofeudalismus of elites. The causes of bending the market asocial state to mainstream society and at the same time his kindness to the symbolic 1% of the richest. Liberalism and market laws are only curtain to hide, do not pay for them either. Similarly hide behind the rule of law, of which is only the illusion of doing by themselves. Freedom of speech has its limits, examples of Bradley Manning and Tom Snowden are just the most glaring.
A healthy civil society, a healthy democracy is sufficient to prosper on citizens own productivity. Imperialism of oppressive elites of own people do not. Survive by expansion and can not survive only on its own account. Therefore, wars and astronomical military spending, world domination of the dollar, leading to vacuum the entire neo-colonies, therefore indebtedness of countries, corruption and lies. Without it they can not survive. Dinosaur elites are also inherently predators.
We can not expect anything else from them as to try in any way to protect the system in which they prosper- imperialism. Then it is on us how we deal with it. People in Donbass, Crimea, decided to get up- stand up for their rights but this create antagonism with interests of imperialist elites. They bite, they are gonna make hard times. But remember they had been on their knees many times: Napoleon, The Great Depression, defeat in WW2. Just patience, stay strong and do not give up centimeter to them.
Note also, that obummer does NOT state WHO shot down MH17: ‘When a civilian airliner was shot down from areas that these proxies controlled’ – he is very careful NOT to accuse Russia, or the separatists. He says ‘FROM areas’, not ‘BY (Russian) proxies’. This, of course, also leaves open the possibility of a military aircraft having shot down MH17 too.
I am very sorry but I just couldn’t bring myself to read the terrorist in chiefs “speech” to the UN, it was just too sick making and I have to watch my blood pressure go through the roof.
And Mohamed, whatever else the toe rag is and I can think of quite a few words to describe him, Obama is no peace maker.
I have seen US presidents come and go and with each successive new president seen the quality of the person “elected” decline over the years, but Obama has to be the most shameless and bare faced liar ever chosen for presidency.
This creature is nothing but a narcissistic poser with delusions of grandeur fronting for the banks and multinationals while black people in the US continue to be persecuted and discriminated against on a daily basis because of their race. What a sorry excuse for a human being.
Comforting that not only do the opponents continue with insanity, but they feel the need to proclaim it to the world.
Perhaps the boy who cried wolf would be appropriate reading lying tucked up in bed.
@Detente Not War said: I”m not an Obamabot. But while saying the usual platitudes about supporting democracy and freedom everywhere (which by the way all Presidents and their puppets say unless some haven’t been paying attention for the last century), there definitely was a change in tone.
For some the only issue is Novorossiya–the nationalists. For others, the issue is broader-world peace. This speech in spite of the American Exceptionalist rhetoric represents a very real political shift back to talking about detente and in joint cooperation in averting nuclear war. This is the most central issue basic to every human being on the planet. Everything else after that is secondary and unimportant.

Dearest Anonymous,
What an excellent suggestion by the U.S. Military, to bring back Syria and Iran back in the good graces of mainstream USA. Both Syria and Iran are being mentioned along with secular forces in the region.
Yes, USA needs both Syria and Iran along with secular forces to defeat non-existing ISIS.

A funny thing happened on the way to dystopia
“As Western mainstream media fall into the hands of lying billionaires, Zionists, and intelligence agencies (three categories with significant overlap) – and as neoconservatives script big media’s ignoble lies – a surging internet-based alternative media has arisen to challenge the elite’s false narratives. Thanks to alt-media, fewer and fewer people are buying the simplistic feel-good myths peddled by the mainstream.
While most old people still cling to the corporate media worldview, the young are skewing ever-harder toward alternative perspectives. In Thursday’s Scottish independence referendum, for example, the London Daily Mirror reported that 71% of 16-17 year olds voted “yes” while those over 65 voted “no” by a 73%-27% margin.
Why does the vast majority of Scottish young people favor independence, while an equally crushing majority of old people opposes it?
Short answer: Old people still believe BBC propaganda, while the young do not.”

Looks like they hit the jackpot when they discovered the Ebola virus (“one of at least 30 known viruses capable of causing viral hemorrhagic fever syndrome”), since on average it kills 2/3rds of people infected, a mortality rate comparable to that of the bubonic plague which killed 1/3rd of the people in Europe in the mid-14th Century. That an epidemic comparable to The Black Death could be in store for Africa, Europe and Asia is an idea so horrible that it’s understandable to refuse to consider it seriously. And even worse is the idea that this might be the result of a deliberate plan by some psychopaths in the AZE to kill at least half of people now alive on this planet.
As regards the dinosaurs, it’s commonly accepted that the impact of a 10-km-wide asteroid in what is now the Gulf of Mexico either caused, or greatly contributed to, their extinction. A similar impact on the supervolcano lurking beneath the surface of Yellowstone National Park would have a similar effect on the predatory capitalist corporations now ravaging the Earth. However, if the human species survived the chaotic and extreme environmental effects, it’s possible that the surviving psychopaths among them would restore something like the current system of capitalist exploitation, though they’d probably have a very reduced base from which to start, and maybe would not be able to. So perhaps a dozen H-bombs lobbed onto said supervolcano might be our best chance of avoiding a Thousand-Year Reich. (Please ensure that you are at a safe distance from Yellowstone if that transpires, though, of course, advance warning is very unlikely.)

Dearest MM,
Your posts are always well constructed, informative and pleasure to read. Mostly from your posts I gather that you are not an overly religious person, but rather very open minded.
I have read on this blog quite a lot about Talmud and that Talmud being put into action.
Can you please enlighten me what is Talmud? And, how it is being put in action?
Do you mean by Talmud that is same as the Christians call, “Old Testament (OT)”? Or, it is some other Scripture?
Jesus all his life claimed that scribes write the book with their own hands. But then the Christianity adopted the Whole of OT as True Word of God, thus empowering the minor religion of Judaism to the tune of 2 Billion people today.
If one reads the OT, from Adam to Jesus and then compare it to the Gospels (NT) from Jesus till today, one see a very Contradictory God. There is no way one can believe that the God of OT is the same God of NT. A chameleon changes more subtlety, than the God of OT to the God of NT.
Even some nutcases go as far as suggesting based on OT, that the Jews are the tribe of Satan.
Isn’t time that the Christians to do away with OT as True Word of God, thus stop empowering this very minor religion?
I have heard lots of Jews complaining that Christians stealing their Scripture (OT) and twisting their Scripture. The Jews don’t their Scripture so literally. It is like the “Liver Eaters” taking the Quran so literally.
A good example is Jacob wrestling with elohim.

@Paul II said: re: “Obama places Russia between the Ebola virus and international terrorism”
At least Russia is real.
Dearest Paul II,
Very observant and true! ~:)
Now that Russia already has Crimea and allowed to keep it. Add to it, that Poroshenko has already agreed to Putin wishes of Federalized Ukraine, it is time that Russia become an non-issue. And, as Obama suggested the sanctions to be lifted against Russia.
With the two fake fear issues Ebola virus and International Terrorism, it is time for Russia and Ukraine issue to take back seat.
Best regards,
Mohamed.
Late comment on Anonymous @ 5 September, 2014 10:26, re Democracy vs. Capitalism:
My observation is somewhat different. In practice all capitalistic democracies sooner or later degenerates into something like table-stakes poker, where the players with big bankrolls buy the game, raising everybody else out — in practice via campaign funding, a la Citizens United. In the U.S. they eventually buy the courts (e.g., Justice Thomas’s wife has received contributions of a million or more for campaigns to influence the court). Rigid campaign-finance laws keep things under control for while, after some particularly egregious scandal, but the next generational cohort forgets or loses interest, and the laws are relaxed. Currently strict finance rules and public financing seem to be holding the line in Russia, but when memory fades of the Yeltsin oligarchs buying elections (as in 1996), I expect the worst.
I have no solution to offer. It seems to me inherent in the system. Maybe some kind of ruling constitutional monarchy might help, where the monarchs look out for the interest of their country for their offspring sake, might work, or maybe longer single terms for chief executives as in Mexico, where they needn’t pander for re-election, maybe for legislators also, as in Costa Rica.
But what do I know ? I’m a poker player, not a political analyst.
Little bit of topic, but it looks like the Titanic is starting to sink

“With the two fake fear issues Ebola virus and International Terrorism . . .”
Ebola is a FAKE issue?!?
International Terrorism is a FAKE issue?
As the commenter at WSWS said, two hideous possibilities arise from Obama’s ravings. One, that the steady stream of lurid lies is seen somehow as efficacious by Obama’s Masters, or, second, that he is truly so deranged as to believe them himself. We just suffered a small humiliation ourselves as our psychopath ‘leader’ Tony Abbott (I knew of him at university, and the knowledge that such an utterly vile specimen now leads the country is truly sobering)spewed out his hatred and bile at the UN, declaring that MH 17 was ‘shot down by Russian separatists’, with, need we say, no proof at all. Then he sang the praises of the Ukrainian Nazis, but Nazis are just what I think of when I see Abbott. Not a great, if monstrous figure like Goering or his ilk, but some enthusiastic sub-gauleiter wielding the lash against some poor unfortunates. The West is reaching an apotheosis of evil, of murderous violence and demented self-delusion, of that there can be no doubt.

Poker Player, capitalism and democracy in any meaningful sense of the word are totally and utterly antithetical. You can have the one, capitalism, and you will get oligarchy and neo-feudalism, or you can have the other, democracy, which only works in egalitarian societies, which are strictly ruled out under capitalism, which works everywhere and always to concentrate wealth and power in as few hands as possible. This is not rocket surgery-even the dimmest wit can work it out from simple observation of the world today.

Mohamed, the Talmud is a vast compilation of Judaic dogma, debate, commentary, compiled over centuries and is the bedrock of Rabbinical Judaism. Whether it contains material antithetical to the goyim is fiercely denied by Jewish authorities, of course, but it is unarguable that contemporary Israeli religious and political figures have openly referred to it as the basis for ferociously antigoyite declarations.
In 2006 the Yesha Council of Rabbis and Torah Sages, a highly influential group in extremist Israeli circles, declared that during time of war, killing civilians was not just permissible but was a mitzvah, or good deed. This was during the barbaric attack on Lebanon. Similar declarations are legion, including Ovadia Yosef, the highly powerful Rabbi’s declaration that ‘…the goyim only exist to serve the people of Israel’.
Naturally when you allude to these statements you are abused as an ‘antisemite’, and the words of these worthies have always been ‘misinterpreted’ or ‘taken out of context’. Ahem. To what extent any individual Jew (or Moslem, Christian or capitalist) sees himself and his group as superior to others is a mystery to me. One can only judge them by their words and deeds, and certain Jews have always spoken and acted as if they regard non-Jews as inferior. That may be a mistaken belief, theologically speaking, on their part, but we know that it exists. The repeated massacres, the hundreds of assassinations, the mass imprisonment and mass torture committed by the Israeli state, the outpourings of hate in Israeli politics, MSM and social media are real and undeniable (although they are, with exemplary chutzpah, denied). Some Jews undoubtedly follow Rabbi Kook the Elder, the Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi of Palestine a couple of generations back, who observed that ‘There is a greater difference between the soul of a Jew and a non-Jew…than there is between the soul of a non-Jew and that of an animal’. Surely that is the attitude we see in bloody reality in Gaza and in so many other places, throughout antiquity down to today. The Jews are not uniformly or uniquely evil, no group is, but they are certainly not, as the mass brainwashing makes us believe, and villainous abuse and intimidation enforces, uniformly and uniquely good and admirable.
In the site DNRESPUBLIKA.INFO
there is an interview published today in which one Morozov claims that Putin has already conducted the bloodless purge, which btw Fedorov said that was coming!!!!
More info please, anyone capable of reading Russian?
thanks!

niman, the ‘Peter Pomerantsev’ mentioned in the article you highlight, was a guest on ABC Radio here recently. He appeared on the Late Night Likudnik show once known as ‘Late Night Live’. Have a listen, if you have time on your hands, to this deranged muppet. He sounds often as if on drugs, or perhaps as if he had forgotten to take his Ritalin and was suffering from an ADHD type affliction. The wheezing geezer ‘interviewing’ him, with the incision of a flaccid tortilla (do you think ‘detumescent’ would be better?) Philip Adams, is what passes for a ‘Leftist’ in this dim-wit nation these days, at least in the ‘minds’ of the mindless Right.
This Obama character has described the USA to a T
But he is not the outrage
The outrage, is all of those millions upon millions of dis informed westerners that believe those behind this marionette called POTUS

I agree with you entirely. It is like squaring the circle. I merely pointed out one minor aspect, the power of money to buy the democracy game. What I’m not sure of is if “democracy” itself is possible, because of this, not that I have any good alternative solutions in mind.
Poker Player, there are numerous flaws in ‘democracy’. It is impossible in mass societies of millions, where huge numbers are disenfranchised by losing at elections. The winners have virtually no say in their day to day lives, having no access to politicians and facing thousands of laws, many of which they might considered bad, erroneous or simply mistaken, which they must obey. The precious ‘rule of law’ is unavailable to 99% because of cost, and the rich often use it to bully and intimidate the ‘little people’. The electorate is hardly uniform, ranging from imbeciles to geniuses, moral exemplars to psychotic thugs and the well informed to the grossly and happily ignorant. Yet all have the same vote, save in those places where gerrymanders and malapportionment rig the contest.
In most capitalist democracies the party that spends the most on advertising etc wins, hence making money power critical, and as in the example of the Jews in the USA, this power enables tiny minorities to effectively take over the system. Election campaigns are grotesque carnivals of bribes, fear and hate-mongering and, as it turns out, rank lies. Not to forget abuse and character assassination of the opposition. This rancour and hatred, ever growing, continues after the election, as the competing sides do their best to sabotage the other in a rivalry that leave the national national interest nowhere. In Australia, a rapidly failing state, the Abbott regime elected in 2013, has moved with manic determination to destroy everything produced by the previous Governments, out of sheer spite and ideological fanaticism. Decades of environmental progress are being destroyed, the World Heritage Committee brow-beaten to allow the destruction of the Great Barrier Reef and old-growth forests, and policies imposed that were specifically and solemnly denied would be imposed before the election. Then these psychotic liars deny their previous promises, even when they are fully recorded!
I see the Chinese system as better. One party runs the state. Anyone can join, to rise according to their talents. Policy is determined on utilitarian grounds, not those of paying off one’s financers, or waging class war and various jingoist, chauvinist and generally misanthropic crusades against those you hate. The leaders in China are tested at ever higher levels of responsibility and meritocracy reigns. It will approach perfection, I reckon, if local democracy to empower people in their day to day lives, follows, although it will open the country to the threat of malevolent Western subversion.In the West, in contrast, politicians are generally opportunists, carpet-baggers, employees of the capitalist elite, third-rate political functionaries and other detritus. And doesn’t it show.
re Mulga Mumblebrain @27 September, 2014 03:30
I agree with you that the Chinese model has a lot of merit. With all the huge sums of money floating around there, however, it’s possible, even likely, that eventually some of the major players will begin gaming the system for their own benefit, and especially with the Chinese, for that of their families. I’d ask with Juvenal,in any system:
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes ?
