Again, a black woman is the humanitarian key speaker in the fight against Islam. In the congress after 9/11 it was a black woman who spoke out against the war on terror. People, real people will save this planet from the blight of wealthy whites.
Serbia is becoming the Chairman of the OSCE on January 1.
Does anyone think this means a more even-handed approach to the Ukraine issues might be in the offing early in the New Year?
At least from the perspective of the OSCE?
And of course, Ukraine needs to pony up about $2 billion to settle back debts and buy another bunch of Russian gas.
Is it possible Ukraine doesn’t make these payments and Russia cuts off all gas to Ukraine?
Will thing really start to heat up in a couple of weeks?
Indeed, the Eurasian Economic Union is also due to come into force on January 1.
Given all the above, I can’t see Russia doing anything in the slightest antagonistic this side of the New Year, but maybe January presages a new stage in the entire West-East conflict.
And of course there’s Greece.
Russia really needs to be in the ears of the Greeks at the moment. Yank Greece out of the Euro with a cheap gas deal and watch the Euro collapse and bring down the European Union with it.
I look forward to the next International. A communist Russia, China, Brazil, India, Vietnam, Venezuela, Cuba, Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain, France . . . the next generation will be fantastic if we can survive the US-led Nazi war party thrust.
Looks like US is worse than desperate.. first rapprochement with Iran and now Cuba.. After a generation they now all of a sudden want to be friends again? Neither country was hostile to the US or a danger. But now the US seems desperate enough to change what is has been doing for a generation. Good for Cuba and Iran I say.. Russia can take care of itself.. And neither Cuba or Iran will forget the pain they endured for so long easily..
Obama announces US will establish embassy in Cuba, lift sanctions
With 25 to 40 percent of Ukraine under siege or embroiled in war expect the referendum to be pushed ahead. Anything less then 50% of total enrollment should be rejected outright.
LOS ANGELES – Investigators in the U.S. said North Korea was behind a cyberattack on Sony Pictures as the studio pulled all plans to release its comedy, “The Interview,” about an assassination attempt on the North Korean leader.

Hi Saker, I’m so embarrassed by that typo error about writing Islam instead of ISIS…I’m so embarrassed.
On another topic…I have a fantastic article here, by Glenn Greenwald…he’s such a good writer…
By Glenn Greenwald
December 17, 2014 “ICH” – “The Intercept” – Jeb Bush yesterday strongly suggested he was running for President in 2016. If he wins the GOP nomination, it is highly likely that his opponent for the presidency would be Hillary Clinton.
Having someone who is the brother of one former president and the son of another run against the wife of still another former president would be sweetly illustrative of all sorts of degraded and illusory aspects of American life, from meritocracy to class mobility. That one of those two families exploited its vast wealth to obtain political power, while the other exploited its political power to obtain vast wealth, makes it more illustrative still: of the virtually complete merger between political and economic power, of the fundamentally oligarchical framework that drives American political life.
Then there are their similar constituencies: what Politico termed “money men” instantly celebrated Jeb Bush’s likely candidacy, while the same publication noted just last month how Wall Street has long been unable to contain its collective glee over a likely Hillary Clinton presidency. The two ruling families have, unsurprisingly, developed a movingly warm relationship befitting their position: the matriarch of the Bush family (former First Lady Barbara) has described the Clinton patriarch (former President Bill) as a virtual family member, noting that her son, George W., affectionately calls his predecessor “my brother by another mother.”
If this happens, the 2016 election would vividly underscore how the American political class functions: by dynasty, plutocracy, fundamental alignment of interests masquerading as deep ideological divisions, and political power translating into vast private wealth and back again. The educative value would be undeniable: somewhat like how the torture report did, it would rub everyone’s noses in exactly those truths they are most eager to avoid acknowledging.
Empire hath no fury as a phone call scorned.. ROFL!!! This is so funny…
“The Russians have not acknowledged our concern at all and I think and important first step is to acknowledge our concerns and get to work,” Rose Gottemoeller told Sputnik of the back and forth allegations by US and Russian officials that both sides had violated the INF Treaty.
“There’s no willingness to talk about our [US] concerns. And that’s the crux of the issue,” she said.
Ukrainian Soldier Confirms: Ukraine’s Military Shot Down Malaysian MH17 Plane
U.S. allies got on board with that and agreed to hiked sanctions against Russia
Ukrainian Soldier Confirms: Ukraine’s Military Shot Down Malaysian MH17 Plane

A Ukrainian soldier who was part of the crew that operated the supposed missile-battery that the Ukrainian Government claims shot down the Malaysian MH17 airliner on July 17th has testified publicly for the first time, saying that the missile-battery was operated by the Ukrainian military, not by the rebels as asserted, and that he and his former crew-mates who operated it laughed when they heard their Government say that this missile-battery was operated by rebels and had shot the airliner down.
An English-translated transcript of the December 15th Russian-language interview with this soldier was posted at UkraineWar.Info on December 17th by Michael Collins, an investigative journalist with UkraineWar.Info who has been following very closely the multiple investigations that are proceeding into the cause of the downing.
This testimony confirms the accumulating prior, already overwhelming and even-more-convincing evidence, which is linked to in my latest article on the topic, here, all of which evidence indicates that either one or else two Ukrainian fighter-jets intentionally shot this airliner down — that it was not an error by rebels who had mis-identified this airliner as being a bomber from the Ukrainian Government, such as the Ukrainian Government and its sponsor the U.S. Government claim.
Regarding the reason why the Ukrainian Government did this, it, too, is clear: U.S. President Obama needed a startling incident in order to obtain from the EU and other U.S.-allied nations their participation in heavily increased economic sanctions to weaken Russia. As soon as this plane was downed, both the Ukrainian Government and the Obama Administration claimed that they possessed convincing proof that it had been downed by pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine’s former southeast. All U.S. allies got on board with that and agreed to hiked sanctions against Russia.
This “false flag” event (as such government fakeries are called in the intelligence communities) succeeded, just as did Hitler’s burning down the Reichstag and blaming it on leftists, which was the event that enabled him to seize total power in Germany.
THIS JUST IN (3:21PM Eastern time in U.S.) from Michael Collins: “George [Eliason, a third member of our team at UkraineWar.Info, and a resident inside the conflict-zone] says that due to the pub from the article, the ukraine govt took down their ‘damning’ pic of BUK 312 today and that the reporter who did the interview is underground and fleeing the country.”
So, the reason why Ukrainians are reluctant to go public about their lying Government is obvious. And, all of the ‘news’ media there are owned by Ukrainian, or, in some cases, by American, oligarchs. (The American ones do it through ‘nonprofit’ foundations they create, which are co-funded by the American Government. The U.S. oligarch then gets tax-write-offs, plus co-funding by U.S. taxpayers, to save him still more money on his scheme.)

—11 US BIOWEAPONS LABS IN UKRAINE The troubling fact is that the number of such biological laboratories has been increasing for years. Back in 2006 their number reached 400 laboratories which were designed to facilitate the “war on terror”, Washington is actively redeploying such research laboratories to third-world countries where there’s a possibility to study the effectiveness of viruses aimed at different animals and local populations. In case of a possible military confrontation in a region, the effect of such viruses can be devastating for the region. Thus, in Ukraine alone, where the risks of regional contamination with lethal viruses is extremely high due to ongoing political instability one can find 11 such laboratories, some of them are deployed in contested areas. For this reason, one shouldn’t be surprised by the recent outbreak of anthrax in the Odessa region in the spring and summer of this year. http://journal-neo.org/2014/12/11/rus-e-bola-kto-vinovat-v-ee-vspy-shke/
—PORKY’S SNAP RADA ELECTIONS ENABLE UKRAINE LOOTING Poroshenko called “snap” elections at the end of August for October 26. He did so to make sure genuine opposition to his regime of murderers, gangsters and in some cases outright Nazis would be able to push an unprepared genuine opposition out of the Verkhovna Rada or Parliament. Because the parliament had significant opposition parties to the US-engineered February 22 coup d’etat, they had blocked many key pieces of legislation that the Western vultures were demanding, from changing key land ownership laws to privatization of precious state assets. By law, the old parliament would have sat until its five year term ended in October, 2017. http://journal-neo.org/2014/12/18/foreign-bankers-rape-ukraine/
It may not be clear from the Eric Zuesse article that the utility of the BUK on the ground while the two fighters shot it down is:
1. They may have intended to take it down w a BUK to make it plausible that the rebel forces did it, and
2. It is typical for the fighters to be aided by ground-based radar, which is part of the 2-truck BUK array.
It was too difficult to get it w the BUK, given the cloud cover, so the fighters did it.
I wonder how the ground-based radar communicated w the fighters & who has a record of the communication.
Surely it has always been highly unlikely that a BUK brought the plane down because the very visible flame & smoke trail of the missile while it ascended 3 miles into the sky would have been visible for 10 miles (a circle 20 miles in diameter). No one saw it.
They will also not forget how Russia abandoned them tobplease anglos_ that betrayal means that Rusdiavagain will never be able to put nukes in Cuba or Venezuela to keep any soet of pressure on usa. Well done Rusdia for your treachery to your allies.you are all alone now because of your knowtowing to anglo enemies.”
