Looks like final innings of another regime change by one of the top countries the neocons have had a hate on for since forever (Malaysian air incidents, recent ‘mass war graves’ found there by—who else—neocons), but especially since PM Mahathir, that no one is paying any attention to.
Embattled Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak Tuesday replaced his deputy premier and sacked his attorney general amid a growing scandal that threatens his hold on office.
Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who has been critical of Najib’s handling of the scandal involving state-owned development company 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), was replaced, Najib said in a televised address.
Alan that’s not what I’ve heard. And the former President of Malaysia is one of the great people in the world today…only a handful, and he’s one of them.
And Malaysian Airlines was the best in the world and was refusing to put backdoors into their computer systems…or something like that….I even heard that THAT was why M A was picked on…. because that’s obviously what has happened…they’ve been targeted.
Malaysia was targeted and turned. From an independent country to joining the secret investigation into MH17, to joining the coalition of the killing in Yemen, and the UN MH17 tribunal garbage.
Mahatir was a dictator. He got to be Prime Minister by getting the High Court to believe (paid them or extorted them) that the popularly elected PM was child molester. Then he ran Malaysia for nearly 3 decades with an iron fist. Every time the Elected PM that he ousted was cleared Mahatir produced more evidence of his alleged sexual molestation and he went to prison to wait for more charges against him to be heard. Malaysia is the most corrupt, next to China, Singapore, Burma and Cambodia and until recently shared to the top position with Singapore of human trafficking which Hong Kong has taken over the top spot. That he set set up the Crimes Tribunal is laughable, when in Malaysia if the people were found to vote for the opposition they would have all their possessions, homes, money, any thing, confiscated, the families beaten and forced into a lifetime of abject poverty, just as they do in Singapore. Mahatir’s family control Malaysia, totally. Last year when Malayasia suffered massive flooding, in the height of the crisis, he had golf game with Obama.
Some of these claims sound rather exaggerated. Do you have any sources?
Other articles planted in the msm media are screeching like stuck pigs about the mythical $140B+ “gift” O gave to Iran in that recent P5+1 “settlement” (which is nothing of the sort–remember Senate/CONgress stuck its snout into that at the last minute & decreed they will have the final say/vote in its approval/rejection!).

Rather than a Folie à Deux, call it a Folie à 5+1: a mutually reinforcing delusion involving Iran, the United States, Russia, China and the Europeans. What makes the outcome of the Iran nuclear deal so dangerous is that none of the parties to the agreement has thought through the consequences of its actions, least of all Iran itself. They are not so much sleepwalkers, as historian Christopher Clark characterized the combatants who stumbled into World War I, as waking fantasists.
China may finally buy 24 most advanced fighter jets from Russia
By AT Editor on July 28, 2015 in Asia Times News & Features
Russia’s state-owned media is reporting that a number of countries are interested in buying its most advanced fighter jets.

According to Sputnik News, Russia is negotiating with numerous countries over the sale of its Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jet, and a number of these deals “are coming to fruition.”
Citing “sources close to the talks,” who were interviewed by a Russian-language newspaper, the newspaper reports “that the sticking point between the Russian and Chinese negotiators over the size of the order is nearing a resolution, and expects a compromise order of 24 fighters for China’s Air Force.”
I know this is off-topic, but since so many people were losing their cool in relation to the 2nd Russo-Chinese pipeline being potentially delayed indefinitely these are the latest news from the mouth of Putin’s spokesman himself, Dmitry Peskov. Like I speculated on July the 22nd, the agreement is likely to be finalized in September when Putin visits China. I think Chinese like the symbolism of mega-deals being agreed on their soil.
OT: The more I see the writings of Oles Buzina the more I feel his loss.I would have felt honored if I had known him personally.
We sometimes see articles that mention what was happening in pre-maidan Ukraine.But mostly we can only try to understand today from our current knowledge.Here is an article Oles wrote from 2011.Before there was any thought of the disaster to come.I think it has several interesting points to think about in it.One,is how Bandera was viewed back then.Two,was how the roots of the current tragedy grew.Three,that isn’t it ironic that nazi movements of “ethnic purity” are many times led by the very “non-ethnic pure” of those countries.Hitler,was Austrian,Szalasi (Hungary),was Armenian, Codreanu (Romania) was Polish.And Bandera it appears was Moldovan.While now in Ukraine the junta is made up of people with Jewish,Armenian,and Romanian backgrounds,the junta Ukrainians, even “outsource” their fascists.And four,that even back then Donetsk was a center for opposition to fascism.I would love to know what has happened with the Donetsk attorney in the article.
Quite the punch line here—recall how China just finished creating several islands in the Spratleys by dredging up ocean silt in the middle of nowhere between real islands!
The Indian Ocean island nation passed legislation last week to allow foreigners to own land within a project site on condition at least 70 percent of the area is reclaimed from the sea.
“According to unconfirmed reports LPR government unarmed Motorized Rifle Battalion 1 located at the forefront of the contact line. There are no more military equipment and mortars there.
Since yesterday, LPR and DPR Armed Forces lost 14 fighters injured, 1 battle tank was damaged, 11 units of military equipment got light damages. Kiev forces lost 8 militants killed and 21 injured, 1 APC was damaged. A lot of Kiev’s loses are result of internal clashes between neo-Nazi battalion “Aidar” and Brigade 92 of Ukrainian Armed Forces.”
Kiev forces continue to lose more men each day, but here it is internal clashes with a neo-Nazi battalion.
“Yesterday, OSCE representatives came under mortar fire of pro-Kiev militants in the settlement Shirokino. 1 OSCE member got a light wound. The fire was conducted from the Kiev-controlled part of the settlement. Despite this, OSCE didn’t approve that pro-Kiev militants hit OSCE mission.”
I don’t understand the last sentence – I wonder if they mean that OSCE didn’t condemn the pro-Kiev militants.

I wouldn’t blame the neocons for Malaysia’s problems. Their current regime is only slightly less corrupt than the recent Kiev regimes….

Right. The OSCE runs around like a headless chicken to do what?
Just run around or see to it that justice is done?
Wait a minute… how do you ‘see’ without a head?

The key to that foolish article is this, David P. “Goldman”. When you start listening to Zionists,then you get the Zionist opinion.

Does anyone know what has happened with the website “syrianperspective.com” ?
It seems to have gone off-line for the past few days.
It says the server is down.
Try Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), Al-Manar (Lebanese, but rounds up news from the whole M.E.) or Fars News Agency (Iranian, but good M.E. coverage.)
Trouble for Rostov?
