Saker is present all the time, numbnuts.
Now go away.
I been saying for ever that the US is the one who controls ISIS.. And that nato bombing of Syria was in support of ISIS as we also see turkey now bombing the kurds who are fighting ISIS..
mainstream news and the US State Department must be attempting to top themselves in a contest that could only be titled “Wackiest theory of the week.”
Enter this week’s contestant: the “Assad is supporting ISIS” claim.
Yesterday, the U.S. Embassy Syria Twitter account sent out a tweet suggesting that the Syrian government was undertaking a bombing campaign in support of ISIS and the terrorist organization’s creeping assault on Aleppo.
it was revealed a week ago that the United States, NATO, and the GCC not only were aware of ISIS/AQI early on, but that they were actively supporting their advance by documents belonging to the Defense Intelligence Agency.
US, Turkey, NATO Supporting ISIS and al-Qaeda – Supporting the Creation of Buffer Zones
The document continues in its revelations by stating that:
Opposition forces are trying to control the eastern areas (Hasaka and Der Zor), adjacent to the western Iraqi provinces (Mosul and Anbar), in addition to neighboring Turkish borders. Western countries, the Gulf states and Turkey are supporting these efforts. This hypothesis is most likely in accordance with the data from recent events, which will help prepare safe havens under international sheltering, similar to what transpired in Libya when Benghazi was chosen as the command center of the temporary government.
“Opposition forces,” of course, are al-Qaeda, al-Nusra Front, and ISIS, as mentioned and defined earlier by the DIA document. Thus, any questions of whether or not the US and its NATO/GCC allies have been supporting jihadists and terrorists, should be answered with the admissions made within these pages.
If al-Qaeda/ISIS = the “opposition,” then the US support for the “opposition” = US support for al-Qaeda/ISIS.
on May 18, Judicial Watch published a selection of recently declassified documents that were obtained from the US Department of Defense and the US State Department as a result of a lawsuit filed against the US government. The lawsuit and most of the documents contained within the release revolved around the Benghazi scandal but a deeper look into the documents dating back to 2012 reveal an even bigger story – that the US and NATO have admitted in their own documents to supporting al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
http://themillenniumreport.com/2015/06/us-claims-assad-supporting-isis-as-us-supports-isis/
Judicial Watch is the best thing since Snowden and Wikileaks.
They dig out the truth with terrific lawyering.
“I been saying for ever that the US is the one who controls ISIS.”
Yes, they have a big hand in it. It’s very fishy how they were able to get all those Iraqi arms from the weapons depot. The Iraqi army, in many places, just left. The U.S. arranged the Iraqi army, at least a substantial part of it, to be weak or unpatriotic. And while this was happening, the U.S. seemed very calm.
But then they had to manufacture an excuse to bomb Syria (& get their planes to fly in Syria’s airspace unmolested), so they started the phony decapitation videos of western operatives. Now ISIS and the “moderate rebels” do decapitate, but the ones for foreign consumption and pushed on the news were faked in a studio. All the decapitated “victims” were people with military and spy backgrounds, including the one who advocated for NATO to bomb Libya.
Now the recent news is: Obama Authorizes Airstrikes to Defend Syrian Rebels If Attacked
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-08-02/obama-authorizes-airstrikes-to-defend-syrian-rebels-if-attacked
And it mentions attacking Syria’s forces too.
But now I wonder if Syria will use its anti-aircraft against NATO? If not, it will go like Libya, which barely even tried to go after the NATO bombers. NATO pilots said they themselves were surprised and expected more – that it was quite different than against Serbia.
Serbia did try very hard – and it hit more planes than the west will ever say, and also downed tomahawk and other missiles. Even General Short, in his testimony before congress, admits his son’s A10 warthog was struck and had to make a hard/crash landing in Macedonia. (This was never mentioned during the war, nor anywhere else, but he was telling a personal anecdote.)
Syria had better have significantly stronger anti-aircraft weaponry – and use it – or it will be defeated once NATO starts bombing. I don’t think Russia would help, as it isn’t even sending weaponry to those in Novorossiya right in its backyard.
Russia for the most part, lets the west have its way with the smaller/weaker countries.
South Ossetia was the only exception due to Russian peacekeepers being shot in their sleep in their barracks at the beginning of the attack and the sudden inflow of refugees from there to Russia. Even then the Russians were caught flatfooted, as it took them a couple days and their first people to try to enter were cut down by snipers, already positions and prepared.
Fingers crossed that Syria’s defense is much stronger than Serbia’s and they actually use it to their best ability.
One of these days, the US’ glass house will receive real BRICS… wonder what that will shatter…
It’s also obvious, given western MSM’s silence, who really calls the shots in these houses of
horror, these bastions of democracy [and it ain’t you or me].The time has come to allow a ‘
mercimercy-killing of the omnipresent tentacles of Zionism all around this globe.Silencing voices doesn’t kill spirits. The flame of truth, honor and justice will never die out. They can kill me, you and thousands of others, but that spark will still be around.
Good news. Merkel has decided to run again in 2017.
Putin will run again in 2018. I guess we can look forward to many more important summits between the two leaders between now and 2021 at least.
Pity Hollande won’t be around in two year’s time. Nor Obama.
http://www.afr.com/news/world/german-chancellor-angela-merkel-to-run-for-4th-term-in-2017-according-to-der-spiegel-20150802-gippbc
To expand on that.
G”8″
Canada – Stephen Harper (Elections – October 19, 2015) ?? (A Conservative defeat would be favourable to Russia – if only slightly)
United States – Barack Obama (November 2016/January 2017) – Almost anyone would be an improvement from Obama. A more hawkish President (almost certain) would certainly be less popular around the world and present a greater chance of a wedge being driven between the EU & USA – a benefit to Russia geo-politically.
France – Francois Hollande (Presidential Election – May 2017) (Hollande is surely destined for defeat. Either Sarkozy – who signed the Mistrals deal, or even Le Pen, would be a clear improvement for Russia)
Germany – Angela Merkel (October 2017) – Will she be on the same page as a more hawkish US President from 2017?
Russia – Vladimir Putin (March 2018) – Putin will surely win another term at perhaps his last election.
Italy – Matteo Renzi (May 2018) – A follower, not a leader, will go where the wind blows whoever is in the job.
Japan – Shinzo Abe (2018, plus ca change)
United Kingdom – David Cameron (May 2020) ????? Far into the future.
Looking at the list – the most important elections are the US & France (and clearly Russia). Putin would be expected to remain in power until 2024 – almost throughout the entire term of the next US President – if two terms.
Whoever the next US President is they’re unlikely to be as popular as Barack Obama worldwide – a clear benefit to Russia.
The next French President is quite possibly (if Sarkozy or perhaps Le Pen) going to be much more friendly to Russia.
I would suggest given Putin’s refusal to engage in bailing out Greece in recent months one has to ask why?
The answer I come up with is Putin is playing a “long-game” at least as far as playing to a timetable assuming he’s going to be in power until 2024 (another 9 years). Given that time-table – why rush things?
It would appear conditions will be much more favourable to Russia (in terms of trying to split apart the EU) in two or three year’s time, or even four year’s time. (2018-19) strikes me. Given that is also the time frame for completion of trans Siberian pipelines to China, and also the pipeline to Turkey.
The only real problem with this time-table is – unfortunately it leaves the residents of Donbass in a no man’s land for potentially another four years without significant help in regards to Kiev/ Ukraine. (Absent Kiev/ Ukraine falling apart in the mean-time – which of course may happen).
But the judgment I’ve made is that Russia will still be doing all it can to be friends with the West at least for another four years (and probably beyond that). But at least for the next four years it is unlikely Russia will respond to any provocations from the Zio West.
Russia can only move towards someone if that person wants to move, too. Tsipras and Syriza seem to want to be more Catholic than the Pope when it comes to the EU. There isn’t much room to maneuver, is there?
A lot of things are up in the air. Putin might win election and step down after a year or so. Russia desperately needs someone to work on changing the economic and financial systems, and perhaps that is not something Putin feels is his strength. Medvedev seems more like the problem than the solution, and, in any case, the country needs new people coming to the fore.
The way to win them over is to offer them them a deal they can’t refuse.
All I heard from Russia was “we haven’t been officially asked by Greece” so we won’t be providing anything.
Maybe that’s true, but its hardly inspiring. You don’t wait to be asked – you very publicly go out and say what you can do.
Where are the French Mistrals anyway? Has Russia been compensated? Have they been delivered? No and No.
And yet I hear hardly a peep about it from Russia.

Movie of the Week: The Horde (2012)
July 30, 2015
Movie of the Week: The Horde (2012)
By J.Hawk
The Horde is a historical epic that deals with medieval Russia and its dealings with the Golden Horde. The movie can be seen in Russian for FREE here:
http://kinogo.co/733-orda-2012.html
But if you wanna see it with English subtitles it will cost ya:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYGFcOSh7ls
Still, it’s worth the $3.99, because here come the spoilers.
This being a Russian movie, it’s obviously packed with allegories that take a bit of effort to unpack. So, from the start:
The medieval Russia is really contemporary Russia (or maybe actually the Russia of the ’90s), a not truly sovereign country which has to pay tribute to the Horde, also known as the United States of America. For that it’s worthwhile to look closely at how the Horde, its organization, policies, and dealings with others are portrayed, because it represents a certain view of the contemporary United States as seen from the outside. If you keep that in mind, the process by which the Horde’s khans are rotated (which happens twice in the movie) will probably cause a chuckle or two–it gives the oft-heard phrase that US presidential campaigns are cut-throat politics a new meaning…
But the Horde has a problem: the khan’s mommy goes blind. Again, a woman and a mother of this importance is not “simply” a woman–she represents the (American) nation as a whole. A nation that has lost its power to see and, presumably, tell right from wrong. Therefore numerous and hilarious (in a grim sort of way) attempts to have her regain eyesight ensue, until the khan has the bright idea of summoning Moscow Metropolite Aleksey to attempt a miracle cure. As an incentive, the khan threatens an invasion unless Aleksey succeeds.
In process, Aleksey goes through hell (or is it purgatory?–and note there is a very similar scene of fiery torment in The Island which also precedes the miraculous intervention), but in the end khan’s mommy sees again (not entirely clear, from my perspective, what did the trick–divine intervention or the example of Aleksey’s suffering?) and then grows utterly detached and indifferent to the political goings on within the Horde, to the point of failing to give one of her sons, the next khan, her blessing. That symbolic action comes across as the withdrawal of popular support for the elite, especially since we are told that in only a few years the Golden Horde, torn by internal conflicts, will go down in defeat.
That the Horde represents not the West but only the US is indicated by the fact that there are largely hapless Europeans (some things don’t change) at khan’s court who are pretty much his prisoners even as they plead for better TTIP terms the Horde not to invade Europe. And they too get rescued by Aleksey who gives them a horse (also a metaphor for popular support/legitimacy) so that they can return to their homelands.
Overall the thrust of the movie is the same as The Island’s. The West has lost its way but it can be cured by emulating Russia and adopting its values. Is that a far-fetched claim to stake? It may seem so right now, but let’s wait until the next major US/EU financial crisis (because we all know it’s coming) and see how it impacts the West’s politics. Because whatever the West is doing right now is unsustainable, no more than the Horde’s policies were.
“
possibly AFU to do sabotage on Crimea?
“The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine creates a battalion of Muslims, which will consist of the Crimean Tatars, Uzbeks, Chechens and other Muslims of other nationalities. This battalion will be subordinate to the APU, and will be located in the border areas in the Kherson region.
Quite a large number of citizens expressed a desire to serve in this battalion. Among them are many Ingush, Chechens, Uzbeks and Azerbaijanis. There were, of course, and without the Crimean Tatars. This battalion is planned to be used to control goods at the checkpoint, which connect the mainland and the peninsula of Ukraine. Apparently, the plans included a battalion liberation of Crimea from the so-called “Russian occupation” because after the liberation from it they plan to control the order in the republic of Crimea.”

This is despite recent token efforts by French parliamentarian visits to say all is peaceful in Crimea, and local Tatars saying all is well there and saying the Mejlis in Turkey are serious troublemakers supported by EU (note Turkey has just probably finished hosting Tatar World Congress) , note Italians are also due to visit (but only after their summer holidays)…..and
“On Tuesday, members of parliaments in Italy, Hungary and France said they would like to visit the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol. ”
MOSCOW, July 31. /TASS/. It would make much sense for EU officials to follow the French parliament members, who visited Russia’s Republic of Crimea last week, and to assess the situation there with their own eyes, Russian experts polled by TASS said on Friday.” So Rus. is encouraging naturally……
“MOSCOW, August 3. /TASS/. Following a trip to Crimea by French lawmakers, German Bundestag members from the Left faction are too considering a possibility of visiting the Black Sea peninsula, member of the faction Alexander Noy told Russia’s Izvestia daily.
He noted that the visit of the French parliamentarians to Crimea had become an emblematic step for many European politicians. As soon as the summer holidays in the Bundestag are over, the German lawmakers will discuss the idea.’ So it has taken them over a year after this strong speech against Merkel to maybe come to their senses…….
http://fortruss.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/wagenknecht-so-its-not-even.html
Extact
“Therefore, Mrs Merkel: untie yourself from the US warmongering tow-rope.
[Applause from the Left Party – Shouts from the CDU / CSU: Oh – Henning Otte (CDU / CSU): You’re divorced from reality – Michael Grosse-Brömer (CDU / CSU): Absurd!]
Sit down – possibly jointly with France – to ensure that Europe refuses this course of escalation. The French historian Emmanuel Todd has issued Germany a damning testimony.
[Michael Grosse-Brömer (CDU / CSU): Who, Trotsky?]
– Emmanuel Todd. If you have not heard the name, you should read more.
[Alexander Ulrich (DIE LINKE): Sometimes reading is helpful – Michael Grosse-Brömer (CDU / CSU): Emmanuel Trotsky?]
I quote him: “Unconsciously … the Germans are now about to take their disaster-making role for other Europeans one day — for themselves.”
-cynically note-again after the summer holidays are over Bundestag lawmakers ‘ll have a chat about it…-just like “Mistral will be settled at the end of the summer”…meanwhile the Swiss might be acting a little more urgently to visit Crimea but after the summer holidays?:
“GENEVA, July 30. /TASS/. Swiss parliament member and leader of Socialist Group in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Andreas Gross has told TASS Thursday he will propose forming a PACE group for visiting Crimea.
“I can confirm that I will propose at PACE institutions to form a group of parliament members for visiting Crimea. It will happen in a month,” Gross said.
“I cannot say more for now,” he added.
At PACE session in January, Gross called on deputies to continue cooperation with Russia. During discussions about suspending Russian delegation’s right to vote in PACE, he said that Moscow “needs a helping hand.” “The only thing we can do is continue working with those who think differently,” Gross said.
He described the extension of sanctions against the Russian delegation “a big mistake.” After this, PACE is no longer a significant player in fight for preventing the worst-case scenario, Gross noted.”
And of course all these people could have visited before the latest re-imposition of sanctions, but now just making their token efforts cos of now beginning to realise economic back lash against themselves…….

extract
“What should we expect after “it won’t be easy”? Odessa is looking at Crimea. It is looking and comparing. Former Ukrainian officials change colors against the backdrop of general improvement. Party of Regions joins United Russia. Former unitedukrainians become Russian patriots. But they behave as before. If we can’t do general lustration, can we implement political filtration? Or will the new political and economic reality reform these…functionaries?
A: I was asked about the situation in Crimea already last year in Crimea itself. I explained that nobody’s about to send officials from Kamchatka to Crimea. It’s unfamiliar territory, plus Kamchatka needs them too. And nobody will carry out mass layoffs of “old regime” officials because that would be destabilizing. But if they try to work as before, they’ll quickly realize that Ukraine is not Russia. Any attempt to transplant Ukrainian corruption practices to Russia will be quickly thwarted.
And so we’ve been seeing arrests of Crimean officials in July. Those who get the message and work honestly will stay. Those who won’t will find a spot behind a sewing machine that was vacated by Khodorkovskiy.
Incidentally, the former Regionals are wrong be so eager to rule the liberated Ukraine. It will be worse there than in Crimea. Crimea became Russia right away. There are laws, procedures, while liberated Ukraine will remain under the law of the gun for some time. Those Regionals who survived the Right Sector may be finished off by the militia for their corruption. In any event, order on Ukraine’s mainland will be imposed through harsher measures–the situation there is more complicated ”
Meanwhile Russ warns of breakdown of “detente” and consensus such as it it currently is…….
“MOSCOW, August 1. /TASS/. Russia urges all the countries of the Asian-Atlantic region to follow principles of the Helsinki Final Act and all political obligations of the Conference for Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), that changed its name to the current Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in December 1994. At the same time, Moscow reminds of double standards in implementation of provisions of the Helsinki Final Act, which may trigger security risks, the Foreign Ministry said on Saturday in a statement timed to the 40th anniversary of the CSCE Final Act, signed in 1975.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry said that the document “is of paramount importance and is a symbol of dйtente and consent.”
“It has played a great role in the life of modern Europe and has become one of the foundations of the contemporary global architecture,” the diplomats said.”
Looking forward to Scott’s next sitrep, hope so soon!! Thanks in advance.
addendum
“Kyiv authorities sitting in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, are going to develop a new direction for the provision of the Crimea the status of a national-territorial autonomy within the “one and indivisible” in Ukraine. With this treatment, Peter Poroshenko addressed the Crimean Tatars to their II World Congress, which takes place in Turkey.
“We have established public institutions that are engaged in the implementation of state policy in relation to the Crimea. In our plans – development of the” road map “for the provision of the Crimea – the historic homeland of the Crimean Tatar people – the status of a national-territorial autonomy within the Ukrainian state”, – announced the President Ukraine.”

BERLIN, August 3 /TASS/. If German deputies decide to follow the example of their French colleagues to visit Crimea, which became part of Russia on results of the March 16, 2014 referendum, they will not contribute to smoothing differences between Russia and the West, Christiane Wirtz, the German government’s deputy spokesperson, told a briefing on Monday.
“I doubt that under the current circumstances such a step would contribute to settling the conflict,” she said.
Wirtz said that under all international laws Crimea belongs to Ukraine, and that no one could go there without prior consultations with the Ukrainian authorities.
The press service of the Left, a German opposition party, told TASS earlier on Monday that German deputies could visit the peninsula some time in future but not now because of parliament’s summer recess when most German deputies were away on their vacation.”
and
MOSCOW, August 3. /TASS/. The just-held World Congress of Crimean Tatars in Turkey did not represent the interests of Crimea’s Tatar population. In fact it was an anti-Russian action, analysts believe. The supporters of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People and its leaders in Crimea are in absolute minority, but the Ukrainian authorities have been using them in order to play the Tatar card in an attempt to destabilize the situation in the peninsula.
Ankara last weekend hosted a World Congress of the Crimean Tatars, which issued a call for recognizing as genocide Russia’s policies towards the Crimean Tatar people since the elimination of the Crimean Khanate and accused Moscow of ignoring “the fundamental rights of the Crimean Tatars” since Crimea’s return to Russia’s fold in 2014, which they described as “annexation.”
The congress’s organizers were Ukrainian presidential commissioner for the rights of the Crimean Tatars, Mustafa Dzhemilev and chairman of the Crimean Tatar people’s Mejlis, Refat Chubarov. Both have been prohibited from entering Russia for actions interpreted as incitement of inter-ethnic discord. Dhzemilev two decades ago led the Mejlis that had never been registered as a political organization. It was that self-styled assembly that in reality controlled the everyday life of Crimean Tatars’ communities, gained notoriety for arbitrary seizures of land, attacks against bodies of power and blockades of strategic roads.

Those representatives of Crimean Tatars who support Russia’s policies are critical of the organizers of the Ankara congress. Crimea’s Deputy Prime Minister, Ruslan Balbek, said the congress was held without wide participation of Tatars resident in the Republic of Crimea and moreover had nothing to do with the Crimean Tatars. Crimea’s former first deputy prime minister, Rustam Temirgaliyev, voiced a similar opinion. He accused Dzhemilev of “stimulating an inter-ethnic conflict in Russia’s territory.”
“Since the moment Crimea reunited with Russia we have not heard anything about arbitrary seizures of lands or some protests by Crimea Tatars,” the portal Free Press quotes the director of the Russian Institute of Political Analysis Instruments, Aleksandr Shpunt, as saying. “The problem that had looked insoluble has been resolved over just one year. True, in Crimea there is a great deal of other problems. But the problem of Crimean Tatars is not among them. That is for certain.”
Dzhemilev used to be a high profile personality in Crimea, the analyst said.
“One year has passed and he has failed to organize a single public movement or any noticeable public gesture. The infusion of resources was enormous, but there has been no noticeable demonstration by Crimean Tatars against the Russian authorities. Not a single one. He enjoys no influence at all. This is precisely the reason why only Kiev needs him,” he believes.
The director of the CIS Studies Institute, Konstantin Zatulin, says the main flaw of what was called a “world congress” in Ankara was the Tatars currently resident in Crimea had no wide representation. “Those people who gathered in Ankara – whom did they actually represent?” Zatulin asked.
“Ukraine’s lawmakers Dzhemilev and Chubarov throughout the years of Crimea’s presence within independent Ukraine grossly exploited the interests of their own people. They were literally making money on their suffering and now they have preferred to be alienated from Crimea. That was their own choice. They have been trying to foment interest towards themselves and surely they have met with a benevolent attitude of the Ukrainian authorities, which have been trying to play the Crimean Tatar card together. The Mejlis has never been registered in Ukraine officially, because its charter contained some items violating the Ukrainian constitution,” he said.
Zatulin is certain the chief purpose of the gathering in Ankara was anti-Russian. “It manifested the wish to cause as much harm to Russia as possible, to present the Crimean Tatars as an oppressed ethnic group, which has nothing to do with the reality.
It would be naive to think that after so many years when Ukraine let the Mejlis act in the capacity of the Crimean Tatars’ sole proxy they have no significant support in Crimea at all. “There are still some followers, but they are getting ever fewer with each passing day. Already now they are in the absolute majority. The road those emigrants have been trying to persuade the Tatars to follow is a road of confrontation and endless conflict. In the meantime, the people cherish peace,” Zatulin said.
TASS may not share the opinions of its contributors”
further Ukrainian president’s envoy for the Crimean Tatars people, Mustafa Dzhemilev, announced the creation of a “Muslim battalion.” One should not minimize the threat of unleashing ethnic and religious wars in the former Soviet Union: Turkey is standing behind Dzhemilev’s actions.
The so-called “World Congress of the Crimean Tatars” took place in Turkey’s Ankara on August 1-2. The organizers of the event were former leaders of the Majlis, Mustafa Dzhemilev and Refat Chubarov. Today, they are personas non grata in Russia for “inciting ethnic hatred.” The “Congress” brought together about 200 groups of Crimean Tatars from different countries, Radio Svoboda says. The participants of the event said they were forced to hold their meeting outside the Crimea because of the pressure from Russian special services. All was happening against the background of support from Turkey that said that it would never support the “annexation of the Crimea.'”
“Unfortunately, throughout history, the right of the Crimean Tatar people to live in dignity in their own homeland was undermined with collective deportations and repression. Today we are witnessing the illegal annexation of the Crimea and other regrettable events,” Turkish President Recep Erdogan said in his written address to the participants of the congress.
Noteworthy, several high ranking Turkish officials and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavel Klimkin attended the congress in Ankara.
During the congress, Dzhemilev called for “international intervention” against the “Russian occupation” of the Crimea and even demanded Turkey should “strictly enforce sanctions against Russia.”
Turkey will always support the Crimean Tatars, Erdogan said – this is a part of his plan to build a new Ottoman Empire. The gas pipeline from Russia to Europe – is just a part of the plan. Supporting President Putin has nothing to do with it. Erdogan is playing his own game, in which Russia is not a priority at all.
During the congress, Dzhemilev spoke of “forced conscription of young men in the Russian army with a prospect of sending them to war against Ukrainian brothers.” As an alternative, he proposed creating a battalion of Muslim fighters under the auspices of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The “Muslim battalion” will be created on the base of the voluntary battalion of Crimean Tatars called “Crimea”. In addition to subversive activities, the battalion will be “controlling the passage of people and goods between the occupied Crimea and Ukrainian mainland,” said Dzhemilev.
Dzhemilev and Chubarov are experienced militants, and one should not underestimate their activity. They have attempted to organize a bloodbath in the Crimea before. In February 26, 2014, they attacked activists of the “Russian unity” bloc. On 3 May of the same year, they arranged a shootout on the Russian-Ukrainian border. The Congress does not rely on the opinion of the Crimean Tatars, but this is not required for a provocation – one needs a combat unit and a mess, and this is what Dzhemilev is trying to do with the help of a “Muslim battalion.”
If this happens, the Kherson region will have to deal with Islamization. “In the Kherson region, we consider it appropriate to concentrate all our compatriots who are now forced to leave their homeland and move to other regions of Ukraine. First, living together in our linguistic and religious environment, they will have be less risk of losing their national identity. Second, it will provide an opportunity to open national schools and religious institutions there,” said Dzhemilev.
“This congress is a personal project of Dzhemilev. The goal is to take control of the Crimean Tatar diaspora to take advantage of its influence and capabilities,” chairman of the Federation of communities of Crimean Tatars in Turkey,” Unver Sel told RIA Novosti.
“This is a forum for those who did not accept the new legal reality of the Crimea being an integral part of the Russian Federation, Vasvi Abduraimov, chairman of the Crimean republican public organization “Milli Firka” (People’s Party) told Pravda.Ru. – Dzhmilev’s remarks are pure provocation to tarnish the Crimean Tatar people, that has always been against violence and armed struggle.
According to the politician, Dzhemilev exploits the old myth that says that the Russian people have always been against Russia, against the Russian. Mustafa Dzhemilev is now against Russia too. He wants to have a team of people who would say that they are against Russia and against Russians. However, the people, who live in the Russian Federation, in the CIS, real patriots of their land, will never leave their homeland, now will they stand against the land that they consider their home.

“MOSCOW, August 4. /TASS/. Russia’s Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev will hold a session on August 5 in Crimea on countering threats to national security in the conditions of exacerbating international situation, the Security Council’s press service said on Tuesday.
The session will be held in Simferopol. Among participants will be Russia’s presidential envoy of the Crimean Federal District Oleg Belaventsev, regional authorities and representatives of federal departments.”
Obviously as a response to this situation.
more mejlis Crimean Tatar stuff:
Expel “aliens” from Crimea, to create a Muslim punitive battalion in the APU, to unite around puppets and “grant eaters” – are the main solutions “World Congress of Crimean Tatars”, held in Ankara.
… My friend the taxi driver Yalta Rasul (a real character, can introduce) last year, before the Crimean referendum, said he will vote “Yes!” And my family, too, say Russia – “Yes!”. His brother Rasul, who returned to Crimea almost twenty years ago, a youth living in Sochi. There are often socialize in the “Skype” every day. Discuss the life and times. Rasul tired of handing out bribes to Ukrainian officials and traffic cop, and on every occasion to go with an outstretched hand to the representatives of the so-called “Majlis of the Crimean Tatar people.” “My brother has been living in a state of law and peaceful earns family. And I want the same, “- this was the main argument Rasul before the referendum in March 2014. And today, it is absolutely no regrets about choosing the then. A few scattered figures “Majlis”, which for many years tyrannized their ordinary counterparts. They demanded a bribe “to the development of the Crimean Tatar identity” is determined to whom where to live, whom to support in the elections, when to go to rallies and demonstrations. Any disobedience severely punished. Now the “leaders” – Mustafa Dzhemilev and Refat Chubarov – hiding in the Ukraine. They were denied entry to the Crimea against them prosecuted for inciting ethnic hatred. But steer “leaders” want to continue, and the old owners continue to give money and, therefore, to call the tune. This absolute difference between an ordinary taxi driver from Yalta Rasul and runaway leaders “Majlis”. By the way, the main financiers of their “World Congress” in Ankara by the Fund “Revival” Soros and the International Republican Institute, the well-known Russophobia US Senator McCain.
The overwhelming majority of the Crimean Tatars became citizens of Russia, quickly adapted to our country. Labor, raise children, are actively involved in social and political activities. For example, in late July in Simferopol held a national conference of the Crimean Tatars. It was attended by government officials, clergy and artists … In Crimean and Tatar including a lot of problems. Almost a quarter century, the Kiev authorities have exploited the peninsula firmly, but not developed. Not one decent road in Ukrainian times are not built wastewater treatment plants – another of the 70-ies of the last century, energy stalled sotsialka a year ago gradually began to climb … This – the main theme of the conference, along with national and cultural identity of the Crimean Tatars in the multinational Russian state. But another theme around Simferopol could not: Turkish “World Congress of the Crimean Tatars.” In a special message to the president of the Turkish participants in the national conference called on Erdogan not to attend the event. Because the real Crimean Tatars consider it illegitimate, and organizers – Dzhemilev and Chubarov – frank provocateurs on zakordonnyh handouts. The general opinion was expressed by Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Crimea, the Crimean Tatar Ruslan Balbec: “From the Crimea to the unit went – a Cemil entourage, his family and those who together with him in the days of Ukraine to support their families on Western grants. In fact, we see that the Congress is held without the participation of the Crimean Tatars, and not based on the opinion of the Crimean Tatar people, the fate of which is trying to solve the correspondence without his knowledge. ” Deputy Prime Minister also noted that neither the Congress nor the possible solutions were discussed with the Crimean Tatars living in the Crimea.
This action is more appropriate name “Mustafa Congress”, which once again tried to use the Crimean Tatar factor in the anti-Russian purposes. Judge for yourself. To start the organizers called “international community” to “recognize the genocide actions of Russia for the destruction of the Crimean Tatar people in the period from 1783, the time of liquidation of the historical homeland of the Crimean Tatars – Crimean Khanate, to the present day.” Clearly can not be said. For a more convincing lead “facts”: thousands of indigenous people were forced to leave the peninsula after the “annexation of its Russian”. But the chairman of the State Committee for international relations and deported citizens of the Crimea Zaur Smirnov (thoroughbred Crimean Tatar, by the way) officially states outside the Crimea have left after the reunification of not more than 800 people. Basically, it is the students of Ukrainian universities so fleeting policy fouling here. Moreover, Zaur Smirnov even before the opening action in Ankara described it this way: “The Congress is doomed to be biased, the congress condemned broadcast false statements, as already laid down in its program deliberately false information about the fact that after the reunification of the Crimea with Russia, left more than 15 thousand Crimean Tatars. Stating this figure, the organizers of the congress only confirmed our fears about his anti-Russian focus. ”
In Ankara, gathered mainly representatives of the Crimean Tatar diaspora scattered around the world. In order to somehow justify the lack of inhabitants of Crimea, “authorized the President of Ukraine” (aka – the head of “Majlis”, it – the leader of “Kurultai”, he – the father of the criminal who shot their own employees) Mustafa Dzhemilev spoke to expect. Like, all the fault of … the FSB. So Crimean intimidated that they would not come. And who is not intimidated – as it is these days being interrogated with predilection in the dungeons of “Putin’s secret police.”
In general, I came out of the “World Congress” zilch. “The first objective of the congress – use the Crimean Tatar factor to be able to put pressure on Russia. The second – to embroil Russia with Turkey through the involvement of the diaspora there. The third – the possibility of enrichment for Cemil “, – summed up as” congress “Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Crimea Ruslan Balbec.
I also attempt to organize a society on a regular basis is very similar to the other reminded Russophobian project of US intelligence – “World Congress of Ukrainians.” During the “cold war”, gathered from all over the fascist scum, remnants of Bandera and their successors, the specialists of “cloak and dagger” from the United States began to prepare them to return to their “historical homeland.” Characteristically, many years instructor for “World Congress of Ukrainians,” was the widow of nationalist thugs Yaroslava Stetsko, then – the son of the Nazi invaders Yurko Shukhevych. Among the activists stayed and Katherine Chumachenko-Claire, at the right time wife of Viktor Yushchenko. Today the organizers behind the scenes did not bother. Final materials “World Congress of Crimean Tatars” in Ankara as a blueprint copied from numerous resolutions gatherings Ukrainian nationalists held once in the United States, Canada, Australia. The same terminology of “oppressed peoples”, the same pathos of the “struggle for independence”, the same appeals to the West to deploy active actions against our country’s foreign policy, economic and financial arenas. Calls for boycotts, sanctions, drafting new blacklists. And in fact – nothing about the real problems of the Crimean Tatars. Because no puppet masters, or their obedient puppets in these issues are not dealt with these issues for their remote and irrelevant. Old political foxes Mustafa Cemil, for which the theme of the Crimean Tatars and the fight against Russia has long become a profitable business, has decided to continue to remain in the shadows. Speaking for the election of his longtime student Refat Chubarov. This graduate of the Moscow Institute of Historical and Architectural last promoted to the post of director of … the Central State Archive of the October Revolution and the socialist construction of the Latvian SSR, has long established itself nimble political weather vane and a chameleon. When Leonid Kravchuk was a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of the Rukh, then – from Yushchenko’s “Our Ukraine”. Today he is the chief of “World Congress of the Crimean Tatars.” And happily clapped his hands when the Ukrainian diplomat read out a greeting Poroshenko gatherings in Ankara. The main point of circulation: the junta would like to turn the Crimea in Crimean Tatar national autonomy. The only question is what to do with Russian, there are 75%? What to do with the representatives of nearly a hundred nations and nationalities inhabiting the peninsula? Including, and representatives of the once deported, returning to the small home at the same time with the Crimean Tatars. A possible answer is ready Mustafa Dzhemilev. He proposed to start to create in the armed forces of Ukraine Muslim punitive battalion, place it in the Kherson region on the border with the Crimea. The question “why?” In this case is clearly inappropriate. The basis of the battalion is scheduled to elect members of the war in Syria, supporters of the IG. On their shoulders and should in theory go to the execution of the main points of the resolution, “the World Congress” in Ankara – to “fight for the liberation of Crimea from the occupation and for the right to self-determination at home in the Crimea.” Even the Crimean Tatars in Turkey this proposal caused consternation. “In the Crimean Tatars is very dangerous, Cemil playing with fire and could plunge his nation into war. This situation is completely unacceptable, “- he opined the head of the Federation of the Crimean Tatar society in Turkey Unver Sel. A mufti of Crimea Emirali Abdlaev spoke clearly: “These heroes were the people they deal with the social and state system of the Russian Crimea.”
“Congress” in Ankara clearly demonstrated: the organizers is not just far from the problems of the Crimean Tatar people. These problems they simply alien. A dream Dzhemilev and Chubarov only of sovereignty over the Crimea and its inhabitants. That is why boast that today in the “Muslim battalion” about a dozen volunteer fighters. Thugs collected Dzhemilev. All they had to go to school the Syrian bloody war as part of the IG. Is it because my friend Yalta Rasool asked the taxi driver: refer to me in the press, but the name is not known.
