South Front Crisis News 6/23/15: Spelling correction on title: ” No Corruption, No Problem.
Well done report. The first story about Ukrainian soldiers possibly following the general and joining the Novorussians could turn out to be a major step in the coup junta’s downfall, if true and they do it.
yeah its fantastic.
It sure is – but it will never reach the mainstreet media in the west – Todays must read:
Reality Based Communities defy the Empire’s “created reality” – http://off-guardian.org/2015/06/20/reality-based-communities-defy-the-empires-created-reality/
The Ukrainian army’s soldiers joining the Novorussiyans is the only way to really put a positive face on their recent history. It’s their way out, while retaining their honor.
The MSM attack on China’s celebration of the end of WWII with Japan seems to have started already.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/23/us-china-japan-idUSKBN0P30C920150623
After reading that article I’m more appalled at MSM stupidity than I was before (and I thought that would be hard to be).China without any doubt will be the economy to be in good with, before even the middle of this century.It should have double the US GDP within 15 more years .And those Western idiots are trying their best to be left out in the rain.Any Western leader invited and who doesn’t show up for the ceremony, has probably just destroyed the chances of his country benefiting from Chinese trade and investments.The Chinese (unlike Russia) is very unlikely to forgive a humiliation like that.And Reuters “wondering” whether Putin would be there.And if Russian troops would be there for the parade?Where have they been this past month.I even know it was announced that Russian troops would be there,and Putin was going, a month or more ago. They call themselves a “news service”,but don’t even know that news,pathetic.
its so nice to see big men helping those poor little immigrants..many of them are children.
They destroy the countries of those immigrants and then try to stop them from immigrating to safety in the EU.More “European Values” on display I suppose.
Interesting article about West Ukraine.It seems all isn’t pro-junta even among the Catholics there:
Ukrainian SBU (secret service) reports that they detained in West Ukraine 5 leaders of ‘Dognalites’. Some dozens of security service and police conduct searches in West Ukraine’s nunneries.
The conflict between current authorities and opposition in West Ukraine evolves increasingly along the religious line. Dognalites are the Catholic sect named after Czech priest Antonin Dognal [unfrocked Czech Catholic priest and many priests of the sect are from Czech republic too]. They began to sprout in West Ukraine’s provinces some years ago and have spread quite quickly over the entire region. They see themselves as Catholics, though are not recognized by official Catholic Church and oppose official churches. It’s A semi-mystical Clerical order or ‘black Brotherhood’ as They are Often Called.
is despite the Pro-West Position of Official Cathloic church in Ukraine, Which de facto legitimized the Civil War and Blessed ‘Anti-Terrorist operation’, Dognalites Sprout Also Due to Their strong Anti-War and Anti-Maidan rhetoric in West Ukraine.
THUS, Anti-War, Anti-nationalist, Anti-Maidan and Anti-EU Position in West Ukraine Often manifests itself in terms of Religious ‘Heresy’, while Pro -Maidan, Pro-nationalist, Pro-EU Position is Expressed by Official Catholic church.
Since Last year Dognalites Organize Rallies, blocking the Roads, in West Ukraine Against Civil War and ATO.
Official Catholic church says That “destructive and dangerous adepts of Dognalites ‘sect may provoke riots and unrest of mass character “. But nevertheless, as they recognize, many their monasteries and nunneries are under strong influence of the ‘heretics’.

That is very interesting info, I never heard about Dognalites before, thanks.
BTW, according to US pollster Pew, one in three Germans and one in four French people think the EU should relax Russia sanctions.
Almost half of French people also blame Ukraine for the conflict in east Ukraine. Thirty four percent of Germans blame it. Twelve percent of Germans blame the West.
In Greece, more people sympathise with Russia than the EU. In Italy, France, Hungary, and Slovakia, there’s a sizeable chunk of people who are buying the Russian rather then US/EU narrative.
Russian stocks are mostly higher today after European Union leaders said they would extend sanctions imposed on Russia.
…
shares of Sberbank (SBRCY), which has rallied some 50% this year, is up fractionally today. Two of Russia’s bigger movers in U.S. trading today: Mobile TeleSystems (MBT), which is up 2.6%, and natural-gas giant Gazprom (OGZPY).
Overall, the Market Vectors Russia ETF (RSX) was up 1% in recent trading

Dear The Saker,
http://rt.com/business/269011-russia-sanctions-chocolate-flowers/
Looks like flowers/bulbs etc. from Netherlands and chocolates from Belgium and France (+Germany) could be added to the sanctions list. Ha ha.
Clever – where is the court of arbitration – Hague/Neth; who froze assets last week – Bel/Fr and who was the main driver of furthering the sanctions – Ger.
So in one move Russia gets a little pay back and nearly $400m of business gone…….Good move – hope they do this ;) Also Russia’s allies in Latin America will benefit.
Rgds,

Perhaps the big news of the day is the situation in Armenia. The authorities clamped down. The protests were officially over a rise in electricity costs, but a large part of the situation is the same as it was in the Ukraine: a significant part of the public see a model of terrible corruption based on a few oligarchs, oligarchs who are friendly to or based in Russia. The West smoothly sells the idea that the West is much better. And the West has good PR and propaganda, whereas Russia seems to not even bother.
On that note and as it is blatantly obvious that the BBC is a major part of the propaganda process and support for neo-Fascism – ‘BBC calling! BBC calling!:
Greenwald: Putin’s ‘Trolls’ Are No Match for UK’s Internet Manipulation Program
“NSA files published by Greenwald expose unit within British intelligence that plants stories, sets up bogus sites and plants comments on the Internet in a far more systematic way than anything the Russians are accused of”
I am currently re-reading George Orwell’s “1984”. Since 1984’s ‘Hate Week’ is more like ‘HateYears’ regarding the West’s vilification of Putin and Russians and with apologies to Arthur Eric Blair I’d like to coin another term along with his ‘memory hole’, ‘newspeak’ etc.
It would be ‘vilspeak’ or ‘vilespeak’ to describe this unending, over-the-top moronic vilification of Putin and Russia.
What does everyone think -any better suggestions?

Neo-speak as in neocon and also the matrix.

It is best if they do clamp down.It must be made clear to the West (in no uncertain terms).That no more “color revolutions” will be permitted.If we accept the view of many people in the World that governments are really similar to Mafia crime gangs, in reality everywhere.Then I would suggest the Western “CR” plotters (especially the foreign sponsors) should have shared the fate of those Mafioso foolish enough to attack a “Don Corleone”.And that fate be repeated for the Western plotters of every “CR” from now on.The destruction they have caused in every country they attacked.And their current plotting against Russia leaves me with zero sympathy for them.For the brainwashed Maidandummies,yes sympathy,for the plotters no.The likes of Soros,Nuland,Pyatt,Yats,Poroshenko,Yarosh,Avakov,etc,etc.To continue my “Godfather” analogy, should have been “sleeping with the fishes” over a year ago.The lives of little Vanya,his brother,and countless others killed or mutilated because of them.Were worth more than the whole lot of them,and their masters in the West.
