It’s hopeless, along with previous ones -and been like that for a while now. When you do get anything it is freeze-frame 10 second delays and 1 second video -very hard to splice together into anything meaningful.
works for me. I think they have to do this to avoid youtube (google-owned) from keep stopping their accounts. anyone who still have hopes that google is not an arm of the US Government need to have their heads examined.
Given the ‘watching a movie on dial-up” performance of these South Front offerings, I’d suggest a vast improvement by giving instead the URL for a direct link to Youtube.
“Mikhail Saakashvili, a former president of Georgia who has been working with Ukraine’s president as a nonstaff adviser since February, will be appointed as leader of the country’s Odessa region, multiple sources confirm.
According to RBC.ua, a source in the presidential administration confirmed Friday that President Petro Poroshenko signed the decree. A spokesman for the Odessa region administration announced that Saakashvili on Saturday will be presented as the new head of the region.”
It is also reported that the tie-eater has become an Ukrainian citizen, though in order to become an Ukranian citizen he has to renounce his Georgian citizenship.
This ridiculous new player that South Front insists on using in its web site is a step backwards. It teases us with showing that the video is hosted on YouTube, but then eliminates the link for us to click over to YouTube, where the video streams much faster.
I live in hope that word of this will get back to the South Front people somehow. They make some great videos, but they’ve shot themselves in the foot with this BS player.
Note to the IT people at Saker – the Embed code that the player on the South Front website produces forces the stream to come through that website, which in turn is streaming from YouTube. Not good. It would be an extra step, but it would be better for your readers if you could go to the source at YouTube and get the embed code directly from that video. It’s a lot cleaner and eliminates this “hip” and useless new player.
The reason why many have started haveing copies offline is because (google, or usa gov through excuses of “copyright”, “complaints”, “to graphic” etc, censors thousands of videoes of ukraine and other warcrimes).
Ive noticed it last year. Where suddenly old links did not work.
And out of curiosity went through more. I could count hundreds on hundreds of links was censored of youtube. Deleted by youtube. (Or more correctly by usa gov censorship).
Also noticed that many streamings, tvchannels reporting from ukraine has been cut off from youtube on several occassions.
Including RT. (The streaming-channels usually gets cut of for days and then come back. But some do not come back).
So yes it is a very active information war going on.
Not only are the west sending out tons of propaganda, threatening indirectly/directly people spreading thruth, but they also do alot of work in deleting and censoring the truth and real information.
I even one time had people call my company, to complain on my views on a discussion forum.
I never wrote anything hard or anything, but i used my facebook inlogging through the discussion forum on a site.
And the sickose actually took the trouble to find out where i worked and sent in (even think they called the company) to complain about me.
I got called in by HR. Talked with them, and thnxfully everything went well.
(I have a high standing in the company).
But it shows at what length some of the sick brainwashed people will go, just to gag opposite opinions.
I had not even said anything slightly hard. Basicly just said they should double check their facts, and things are not as it seems in western media, etc.
So if anyone wonders why i always use “anonomous” logins, such things like this is the reason.
But sad part is that many newssites are getting close to be perverted sick/fanatic brainwashed-westmsm nowdays,
If that path continues 5-10 more years, then we will have Hitler tendencies. Where even “newssites” report the ip-adress/real names to authorities of users that is not following the “msm/gov hardline”.
I would not even be surprise if usa gov/nsa allready logging/filtering people in the west who do not follow the “msm truth”.
But as long enough people speak up, then its ok.
But the day to few people speak up, they will be marked (and maybe “burned” in some aspects).
Hope this will not continue for another 5-10 years of the western madness.
Because i dont like this dangerous path.
No I do not. I aslo rate The Saker amongst the highest and most essential truth telling analysts available, and his phenomenal efforts are much appreciated. I merely attempt to draw urgency to faulty delivery of information at this critical time. I tend to skip even the good sites if they are frequently problematic, and The Saker knows his site has experienced more than it’s fair share of problems, for whatever reason.
I will not reply to the ‘click here for full refund’ comment below as doing so would infer that it is worth a reply.
But much of the web is unusable for me now.
Old machine and using XP? Bad or noisy DSL phone line? Slow or throttled ISP?
All I get is extremely slow response and a constantly running drive when on the Internet.
Ive given up on Russia Insider. Went there yesterday, to story about Cambridge not printing something from some trollop at Heritage foundation. When I found out where the video was from I exited from Youtube, but then the video started playing at RI — and I couldn’t stop, or page up, and ended up having to cut the power to the computer to get out — even the hard reset button on the machine didn’t work.
I went to an ATT site this morning about what they have for cell phones (they disconnected my Trakfone — almost a thousand minutes left, but it never worked right and they keep screwing up leaving me without a working cell phone, and customer ‘service’ is nearly useless), and had to reboot to get out. I tried to save with Firefox MHT-save plugin to keep the previous crisis news page, with links to RSS feed from Grieved, and it hung again (said was trying to download dontate gif) — had to reboot.
It’s all virtually unusable now unless I want to spend an hour to view and/or archive a couple of pages.
Now I see on the modem that I’m still connected to the ISP (CenturyLink) network but their Internet is down. — Now it came back again… for the moment. It’s often intermittent now.
I don’t know why, from who or how, but for me, the Internet is pretty much dead. Not that I won’t know what in general is happening — the system is breaking apart, in the US at least, and maybe elsewhere, and the fascists keep raging on. It’s becoming a ‘third world’ country here. As one of those living in poverty, and disabled (I think form pollution and GMOs), I’m one of the first to feel it, like a canary in a coal mine, but it’s everywhere, getting into everything.
One example: I never turn on the radio any more. As a kid I had 3 or 4 classical music radio stations to listen to; now, forget about it. I turn the dial and bfft, bfft, bfft, and in between the static another stations comes in — all with the exact same program as most others — bad country music or Rush LImbaugh, last time I tried. No variety, no real news, no truth — all down to which commercials you prefer to hear. Like Orwell’s Telescreen where it’s the same everywhere, and forget about any notion of ‘free trade’ or ‘competition’. Will the Internet end up tobe any different? So far we see the signs of every news site having the same stories from the same sources — all lies and spin. Competition and diversity are bad jokes, and soon it seems even basic functionality. This is what fasicsm also looks like.
Blue, try all or any of these :
oldish machine and XP you should not have Firefox any younger than about 26.0 or 27.0 at the most. Pick one from here https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
The newer they are the more junk they have in them. Set it up to never upgrade and not even search for upgrades. (tools>options>advanced).
=================
absolute must, AdBlockPlus — halves pageload times
===============
In a new tab type
about:config
right click, choose New>Boolean then in the dialog that comes up, type config.trim_on_minimize
then when it asks you, select TRUE then close the tab.
After this, any time you minimise all windows, it will release a heap of stuck memory. Useful to do this both before and after downloading videos.
============
If you are running a real-time anti-virus, get rid of it. Biggest memory hogs ever invented. Especially Norton or McAffee particularly bad. Get and run something like Malwarebytes or CCleaner once a week or so. I’ve not caught a virus in 5 years. (use commonsense on weird links).
======================
Tools>options> content …. set load Images to NEVER.
=================
anything you want to download (video or MHT, open it or move it to a new window. This lets you minimize all other windows, letting the heavy job use max memory
================
never unplug the computer. Just Ctrl Alt Del to be bale to choose Task Manager, on which you can right click and “End Process” just for the browser, if necessary. Use this also to End Process the plugin-container.exe once you’re done with a video (it will restart itself if needed again). Task Mgr is small, you can keep that running all day.
===+==+==+==+==+==+==+===
At the very minimum take Vitamin D 1000 units and vitamin C 500mg a day. A few weeks of probiotic yoghurt useful to rebuild gut bacteria, which is what GMOs do moist damage to, so you never ever get full value from your other food either. Drink milk for protein, keep away from anything soy.
I’m downloading FF 27 — can try it.
Other things I’ll play with as I get time and energy.
Gotta say I’m tired of spending more time on trying to upgrade, downgrade, configure, maintain, etc. the computer than I do working on the stuff I have it for. I still have LInux to work on — maybe eventually I can find a version that works. Getting a new roof soon so the ceiling doesn’t keep leaking on me so I have put tarps over eveything and can’t use the computer.
But you know — you shouldn’t have to be a programmer or geek to run a computer; after decades of messing with it I’m tired of doing that stuff. Probably like when an auto mechanic gets old he just wants to drive his car, not take apart every weekend.
My pro-biotic is kefir — made with kefir grains — but it’s of limited help. No magic cures to toxins wrecking one’s gut (or dealing with fibromyalgia).
It’s really hard to live as normal human being should now — and I’m a hell of lot better off than many people I see around. Some spend all days walking around to collecting cans and scrap metal in a wagon to survive. A while back I was in a used stuff store and a woman aksed the clerk to set aside some shoes that $3 because she wouldn’t have the money for them until the weekend. This in “the richest and best country in the world” according to the lovely capitalists running the place.
I’m now running FF 27 instead of 36. And ad block.
Save text to file did not survive — shame — it was handy for downloading transcripts from youtube.
I tried
n a new tab type
about:config
right click, choose New>Boolean then in the dialog that comes up,
…
But right click didn’t work. As usual, I suppose, instructions I see don’t apply because Mozilla keeps changing the interface, menus, options, and such — no stability. And some of it may depend on which OS or machine I have. Stability, and learned user interface, is gone in many things now. The rule now is ‘fix it until it’s broken’ (used to be ‘the program isn’t done until Windows doesn’t run’).
It’s part of the culture, and of capitalism with it’s need for ever more expansion and ‘competition’ (with product differentiation) until you are a monopoly. These side effects of neolib and neocon and imperialist philosophy, with no balance, can’t be isolated from the rest of life. Take over Ukraine; take over computing, software, and the internet, Take over the world and make it all the same by killing everything else — which is the real aim and name of ‘competition’ now: limitless growth but no real improvement or development, so things are always different but never better. It’s a weird mind and linguistic game. Red Queen stuff, through this looking glass.
Above video — this skin icon can’t be loaded… or something. When I clicked on it I get the whirling thing repeating 7 6 5 4 3 7 6 5 4 3 7 6 ….. endlessly. Like the imperial wars, I guess.
Sorry, Blue, the “about:config” one you first get a warning about damaging your computer or some such, then should get a screen of single-line items in 3 columns, and you right click any white space in that page. This part and Tools options have not changed in years, I have many versions and doing this in XP now.
The VIDEO is useless for everyone and we’ve told them Get it from their youtuibe page, where it works as normal.
This time the config worked. Don’t know why it didn’t before — maybe installing 27 and then closing and reopening FF made a difference?
The unnht saver crashes FF when I tried it on FortRus, so now I’m using FF’s archive saver so I can download a page with images — which works better than it did in FF36. Computers are like a combination lock now to find the versions and configuration which work.
Thanks a bunch for your help!!
I wait with bated breath for Russia et al to release a solid OS (Rusnix?), browser, and email client, with a few comon apps. If they wanted to take over the world (or break the empire), that’s a good way to do it. Russians are good at this stuff — I worked for a company once where one of the other people (a Russian) there could run a COBOL compiler in his head.
Blue, I have an HP desktop. Every problem I have had has been cured by using “system restore” & it’s free.
Gut problems: try omitting all grain for a week to see if it helps. Breads and cereals mostly have GMOs in them. All-wheat pasta doesn’t yet have GMOs but the wheat has been so “improved” that there’s something wrong w the gluten & lots of people have problems w it.
I am reading your post and am thinking, yes indeed. The infrastructure of the country is deteriorating very fast. As if one is observing it all on an an eerie rapid time-lapse video display … once upon a time it was, now look what it has become…
***
Just a side thought. We take Internet communications for granted, and hardly ever give a thought to what might become of it, will it be here tomorrow, or in which form – restricted?…
Before the Internet, one had to rely on short-wave reception to get any news from afar, even though those were mainly from other governments’ official sources. Then, there was also the HF radio amateur traffic, which you could monitor with a better set, and even participate in it – voice, telegraphy – all with some modest investment of learning effort and money. There were no satellites to rely on, just plain bouncing the EM waves off the natural ionosphere F layer.
And my thought is, what if there comes a big calamity that suddenly renders all the internet and satellite communications unusable? This isn’t too far fetched. So perhaps, we would have to secure ourselves with broad-spectrum transceivers for such a scenario, to allow us any two-way contacts with the outside world. (Things have advanced quite a bit in that realm since the “olden times”. And there is plenty of amateur and military surplus gear.)
I know mostly nothing about it, but there are people working on alternative radio and network systems, much of it in secure ways that is hard to take down, or even detect. If it collapses there will be some kind of skeleton there, even if most people can’t access it directly.
Christmas Day 1974 the northern Australian city of Darwin, with 47,000 people, got totally wiped out by Cyclone Tracy. Everyone expected it to bypass them, as up to dozens of cyclones did every year. “Everyone” unclouded the Bureau of Meteorology.
All power and all telephone lines to the outside world were cut. People staggered out in the just breaking dawn to see 70% of their city flattened.
The call for help went out from two ham radio operators, who were able to contact a ship, which, after initial disbelief, relayed their message to authorities, who discovered that, indeed, they can’t contact Darwin at all. And so help was sent. Only 71 died but many were injured; the emergency services could radio each other car to car but their towers (and therefore control centres) were down. Shortwave and amateur radio was the only way the arriving authorities could contact their bases for days, too.
==============
Today there are solar powered and wind-up dynamo powered shortwave radios. Just for hearing news, a $40 normal range one would do. Ham kit is not cheap anymore, but set5tlements could perhaps pitch in to share one (small town, large apartment block etc). .
Don’t count on the authorities to think ahead on this. Example:
In my city they have a multi-milllion dollar alarm and loudspeaker system in the inner city, so they can tell people to evacuate in an emergency (imagined as terrorism of course).
There was a disastrous meltdown of an underground power cable, blacking out 30 blocks, leaving huge high-rise office buildings with no power — not for lifts, not for phones, not for lights. So they thought to use the loudspeaker system to tell people to WALK OUT because it will be a few days…..
They DID NOT WORK. Because the power was out everywhere, right? Because they had not thought to buy them with BATTERIES.
Dark humor?
My town installed a siren system and emergency radio station in case of tornado.
There was a warning some weeks after, and I turned on the radio — AM, and of course there was nothing but a constant stream of static from the electrical storm. Completely useless.
This is the difference we can see between USA and Russian tanks and other serious gear:
The Empire school of design.
1) someone designs it for something
2) someone else sells it as a solution to
3) something else to
4) someone who hires
5) someone else to modify it
F35 can’t fly in rain and “years” before they get the guns to shoot.
Soviet/Russia school of engineering
1) incredibly “big ask” specifications
2) worked on by specialist teams
3) to engineer something that
4) meets all requirements
TU-160 still fastest highest bomber after 30 years
Both our alarm owners bought a nice idea, instead of looking at the conditions of use. Perhaps they’re of the generation that knows food grows in plastic bags.
I’m on an old gateway T3302, 2ghz, maxed out at 1gb ram, 160BG drive. Emachines are not that great, and it came with a one of those XP images instead of real install disk — real nuisance!
One big problem with the newer machines i no documentation. My first PC was a Heath/Zenith 8086 I soldered together — had all the docs, including schematic. Everything except the source code for DOS (and I think even some of that). Also a hardware monitor/debugger that included a small assembler language. Beautiful machine for the time. I had access to every bit of software on the machine, could find out what it was for, and had full control over all the configuration files — it really WAS my machine. I miss those days. Power to the people!

My Computer R click > Manage > Services&Apps > Services
Anything you R click gives Properties which gives stop/start and Manual Auto Disable. Tab for Dependencies tells you; most things nothing depends on can be Disabled.
Disable ALL updates. If in doubt, turn Automatics to Manual. Check in Task Manager and you’ll see your TSRs (remember those?) drop from 40+ to 20+ — I have 26 processes with 2 browsers and a text editor running.
If memory gets awful and minimising doesn’t help, use Task Manager to just kill the browser; don’t reboot. If browser set up right it will recover everything. Set it to reload only active tab, so it doesn’t die trying to load 20 at once. (all this is in browser Tools>Options).
go to about:config find

Thanks, that was a good tip.
A few months back I changed my ISP and without my knowledge or approval installed an application called …’AddsbyAlldaySavings’.
It was driving me nuts!, pulling three ‘floating banner adds’ for every web page I visited,even Saker comments pages.
Even sites that avoid adverts,true there was a close option,but it was an irritant.
It was only by chance I went to Add/Remove programs,only to find my providers installation.
After removal of the application,I was still getting these damned adds and until your advice to Blue,I never thought about a trojan service,but with a visit, as suggested…….
‘AlldaySavings Services’ was tucked in there, now it is in stopped mode!.
The reason this pisses me off so much, is nobody should be able to overide my security options like that!….dangerous!.
The new ISP Hub came with just cables,no install disk!..so something is not quite right.
To install that Application they have access to the Registry.
This may well be helpful for others getting unsolicited adverts,so I will also post on a newer thread.
But you say “stopped” – if you just clicked “stop” it will start up again next time you reboot the computer. You also need to set it to Disabled (a little dropdown a bit higher up).
I had auto-update or look-for-update for 2 browsers, an anti-virus I don’t use (but was once forced to have installed), ..net framework which I don’t use, 2 for Google Earth and something else. The older your computer the more you have to watch this, as comes a point where the software demands a hardware upgrade.
I also forgot,…. turn off sleep and standby as well.They often don’t work properly anyway and they eat memory. if you need to reboot, never do a hot reboot (“restart” Windows calls it)/ Always do a cold reboot – full shutdown, power off, start again. These 2 variations clear memory differently.
Thanks.
I went to that and it doesn’t look like any updates are on, but there are a bunch of other things which I don’t know what they do or whose they are and where they came from, so I have to look them all up somewhere trying to find out. Maybe they are all legitimate, but I don’t know, and one of the disabled services is AOL — which I have been trying to eradicate completely from the machine since I got it, but have never been able to.
I have also set things in the past which were mysteriously reset. windows doesn’t let me just back up the entire system, and it deletes restore point when it wants to, so I can’t even save a stable configuration if some mysterious thing goes bad. I’d have to get some other software, often expensive *and/or based on a live Linux CD), and a bug hard disk, also expensive to try, and I’m not sure it would even work. With DOS I could disk copies, back up all the directories and configuration files — the entire system if I wanted, but Windows doesn’t give me access to many things even when I ‘hack’ into it to log on as ‘system’.
This is like having a house where you go down to the cellar and finding strange people wandering around — all with no ID and unlisted phone numbers, and usually speaking foreign languages.
The biggest problem I have had is lack of documentation or information, and Microsoft charges thousands of dollars to get most of it, but won’t give you all of it anyway. It’s really impressive to go on to the Microsoft support site, find some problem you have, and everyone, even the ‘support’ people there, writing that they have the same problem and don’t know what to do.
Seems John Kerry is nominated too. Well they’ve sure wrecked the value of that prize in the past 8 or 10 year4s.
There are 276 nominations, so perhaps there is someone deserving and non-political among them. Sadly, people like that don’t have pressure groups or bribe funds….
Why not? The war criminal Obozo has one. Then All kinds of people can try to access to Porky’s house, fly drones over it, crash cars in the gates, The whole world is becoming as absurd as “The Onion”.
By the way, I hate being a “blue head”, But I understand why.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Just as World War II was wrapping up, a new mission by the United States was just getting started building new military bases around the world.
This includes dozens of bases in places like Japan, Germany and Italy, all in the name of national security and global peacekeeping.
American University Anthropology Professor David Vine called it a super-sized collection, with more than 800 U.S. run foreign military bases, compared to 30 foreign bases run by all other countries combined.
“Many of them exist in large part because of inertia,” Vine said. “There isn’t necessarily a good reason why they exist. People have come to believe they protect us.”
In his new book, Base Nation: How U.S. Military Bases Abroad Harm America and the World, Vine argues the opposite is often the case.
“These bases have enflamed the kind of anti-americanism that is extremely dangerous to our national security,” he said.
And then there’s the cost.
Vine found that between $70 – $100 billion a year of taxpayer money goes to operate overseas bases in non-warzones.
If you add in bases in Afghanistan and Iraq, that number goes up to $170 billion.
However, there are plenty of people who argue the bases continue to be necessary, since the war on terror has become a global threat, the U-S should hold onto and fund these bases indefinitely.
“That is the role the United States has as a global super power,” said Rick Brennan, Senior Political Scientist with The RAND Corporation.
What do you expect RAND corporation to say? they’re in it up to their eyeballs. All their money comes from writing up further plans for what to use the bases for.
:…since the war on terror has become a global threat,…” perhaps you or whoever you’re quoting meant to say TERROR is a global threat. But it is perfect as written — the WAR on terror is the global threat. Which they are so keen to keep going that they also make the terrorists to have the war against.
“… between $70 – $100 billion a year of taxpayer money goes to operate overseas bases…”
It is time to cancel the ‘xy amount of taxpayer money’ phrase out of our dictionaries. If the West would really have to rely on taxpayer money for its nefarious deeds, the military-inteligence-surveillance-industrial-media complex wouldn’t even be a tenth of its current size.
The CIA/Pentagon is financed by brutal mafia methods and criminal banking and central-banking that exploit and the destroy planet earth and impoverish 90% of humanity.
Before WW1 the Ottoman Empire controlled much more territory than modern day Turkey.
After 1918,Britain,France and the USA re-modelled the ME and Europe.
France got parts and Britain got the Palestine mandate, Wiki …Sykes-Picot……..
“The Sykes–Picot Agreement, officially known as the Asia Minor Agreement, was a secret agreement between the governments of the United Kingdom and France,[1] with the assent of Russia, defining their proposed spheres of influence and control in the Middle East should the Triple Entente succeed in defeating the Ottoman Empire during World War I. “.
Now Britain,France and the US are playing games,games which are devastating to the people living there……..but……………these are exceptionals.
The Ottoman provinces are what are being contended for,and Turkey clearly would like it’s own slice of the pie, hence…. games all round!.
In geopolitics,a 100 years is nothing! the ‘agreement’ is only 99 years old,a blink of the eye for bureacrats, the old rules apply…..Big brother protects little brother…..or …..Big fish swallow little fish.
The big picture is much,much bigger than this…..but it is a place to start from.
If the United States of 1812 had annexed BC wouldn’t modern day Canadians want it back?
That Israel-America’s ISIL cannibals are executing their own “generals” is very good news. When they start going after each other like that, it’s one of those positive signs that a force is falling apart internally.
Excerpt: Palestine unexpectedly dropped its motion to suspend Israel from international football on Friday amid highly-charged scenes at the FIFA Congress.
Instead, soccer’s governing body agreed to send observers to monitor the freedom of players and officials to travel to and from the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories — one of the main complaints raised by Palestinian authorities.
In a statement from Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed what he called the Palestinians’ failure to freeze Israel out of world soccer, saying it represented a success for his government’s diplomatic efforts.
Many ordinary Palestinians expressed anger and disappointment over the decision to avoid a showdown.
I’m guessing Rajoub agreed to the compromise and called off the vote because he was informed the vote would fail. The American “corruption arrests” were designed to intimidate all of FIFA and were basically a threat of the sort: “you vote Israel out and you too will be investigated for corruption”. One can figure many of these people have engaged in corrupt practices so are vulnerable to blackmail. Given the choice of a failed vote gaining them nothing at all, or the compromise deal, the Palestinians chose the latter because it might alleviate the zionazi persecution of their teams and players at least somewhat.
As part of the deal Palestine has asked that the UN make a detetermination,(within 3 months), on whether the 5 Israeli teams who play in the West Bank are playing in their own country.
This will result in an international effort to make Israel recognize the 1967 borders and to finally give the resilent Palasinians their own country.
Another nail in the coffin for the cruel racist aparthied criminal enterprise known as Israel.
Some people were afraid that Putin will sell out Syria.. If so after Lavrov’s comments and the latest developments should put their mind to rest..
Russia has sent a Parliamentary delegation to Damascus to reassure Syria of Moscow’s deep commitment to the security and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic emphasizing growing technological cooperation between the two sovereign nations. SyrPer can confirm that a record number of ships and cargo planes from Russia have been both docking and landing in Syria’s coastal zones carrying bottles of vodka.
Russia Scales Back Aid to Syrian Govt, Withdraws Key Personnel
Seems Russia recalled 100 personal stationed at their naval base and Israel is using that as Russia dropping support for Assad and leaving Syria to make the US happy and get sanctions removed.
Although it looks like the Syrian government is not in danger of failing apart at this point, they have pulled back to population centers to consolidate their hold on the country. But hey perception is everything. Because of state support to the terrorists, Syria army is pulling back to areas which can be defended much easier. It looks like Syria lost a few towns close to turkey because of Turkish indirect fire support at Syrian positions when the terrorists were attacking them. There is also an article about how the Turkish border guards stopped trucks of arms heading out to Syrian terrorists managed by the Turkish intelligence agency.
Finland’s new speaker of parliament refused to comment on her immigration-critical blog after her election, but said that people in Muslim countries cannot “participate in society.” Estonia’s interior minister said on Wednesday that the country opposes quotas for migrant resettlement that would increase the number of migrants in Estonia. The country’s former Foreign Minister Kristiina Ojuland went farther, saying that the “white race is threatened.”
In Finland, the speaker of Parliament is the second most-powerful political office after the President.
Estonian politician Kristiina Ojuland, made multiple posts and comments on her Facebook page, calling for an end to Mediterranean migration. Ojuland used the word “neeger” to describe an African migrant, a term seen as increasingly socially unacceptable in Estonia.
“Stop using the word ‘racist’! As a white person, I feel that the white race is threatened today!” Ojuland wrote on her Facebook, responding to comments calling her remarks racist.
The leader of the Estonian parliament’s Conservative People’s Party, Mart Helme, echoed Ojuland’s sentiment.
“Ojuland expresses views identical to those of the Conservative People’s Party,” Helme told Estonian news agency BNS.
There is a difference in countries allowing migration of which people keen to move and adapt to the country they are migrating to as opposed to refugee dumping migration due to refugee countries being destroyed by hegemon.
Stop the criminal destruction of countries around the world and exploiting them and there will more than likely be a drastic reduction in refugee migration. Migration that is bad for the refugee in most cases and bad for the host country. If you look at issues Norway and Sweeden are having with large migrant intakes of people far removed culturally to those Northern Countries, then you could understant Finland and Estonies point of view. Finland itself has had it share of refugee migrant problems from Kosovars and Somalis.
White-supremacy is an expression of a feeling of inferiority. It always amazes me how self-unaware and oblivious white supremacists are about how obvious this aspect of their personalities is to everybody else.
BOT it has nothing to do with colour or that recent made up concept of race but it has much to do with culture and being able to adapt to the realtive norms and values of the new place of residence.
I sure as hell would not expect Japanese, Zimbabweans, Chiilians, Russians or anyone else to bend over backwards if I choose to live in their country and same for the reverse.
You do realise “Racism” ir a recent invention to further the divide and rule paradigm???
No one is above another, we are all different and diversity should be embraced and encouraged. I wonder with dominance in global media and cultural imperialism, where the real supremists lie.
And I should have read your comment again before answering, late hours. Still comments about invention of race as a means of control stand. ))
Russia will take part in South China Sea counter-terrorism exercises as it becomes increasingly concerned with security and stability in the region.
Russia will conduct naval exercises in the South China Sea in 2016, together with its partners in the Asia Pacific Region, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said at a defense summit in Singapore on Saturday.
Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue summit of defense ministers, Antonov said that Russia is increasingly concerned for its security, citing US missile shield deployments, terrorism and “color revolutions.” Russia will also conduct its first-ever exercises together with Brunei in 2016.
“We are concerned by US policies in the region, especially since every day it becomes increasingly focused on a systemic containment of Russia and China,” Antonov said.
US Ramping Up ‘Containment’
Antonov also said that US policies in the region are increasingly aimed against China and Russia, and that US missile destroyers pose a threat to stability in the region.
“Despite our concerns about the US global missile defense architecture, they continue a policy of disrupting strategic stability, adding a regional segment of an anti-missile ‘shield’ in the Asia-Pacific,” Antonov said.
The zio-media and pindo regime will no doubt describe this as “Russian aggression” and as an “intrusion into the American sphere of influence”, neglecting to mention that Russia is closer to the South China Sea than pindoland is. :D
The US rejects the idea of any nation claiming a sphere of influence, Vice President Joe Biden told a Washington think tank, arguing that the crisis in Ukraine was about the principles and values of the West and international order.
“We will not recognize any nation having a sphere of influence,” the vice president said during a speech at the Brookings Institution on Wednesday. It remained unclear whether the remark applied to US influence around the globe, or referred only to Russia, China and other countries.

I am a regular follower of the South Front news and I want to congratulate you for your coverage. I have a criticism though: please don’t fall in the trap of presenting the yemeni conflict as a Shiite group against a Sunni coalition. Nothing is more remote from reality and it only serves the interests of those who started this conflict (i.e. Israel, USA and their puppets). The same applies to many other conflicts in the ME, starting with Syria, which as you know never had anything to do with a civil war between Alawites and Sunnis.
Since Minsk 2 very few Donbass phone vids on Liveleak, except for the UKRO phone vids. There’s a lot of war action going but very little coming out to us, seems NovoRusia Command has put in media control. More than 50% of Southfront’s recent videos about Yemen and Syria and gotten from the major media outlets. The Vietnam style reporting has been shut down.
I click on it and see the descending numbers going round and round, but it never starts . . .
Hi Jack: try going to Youtube Southfront – I have just watched it there at full speed; good luck.
It’s hopeless, along with previous ones -and been like that for a while now. When you do get anything it is freeze-frame 10 second delays and 1 second video -very hard to splice together into anything meaningful.
Audio only, no picture.
It happens sometimes here too but after reloading the page it comes good.
works for me. I think they have to do this to avoid youtube (google-owned) from keep stopping their accounts. anyone who still have hopes that google is not an arm of the US Government need to have their heads examined.
Given the ‘watching a movie on dial-up” performance of these South Front offerings, I’d suggest a vast improvement by giving instead the URL for a direct link to Youtube.
“Mikhail Saakashvili, a former president of Georgia who has been working with Ukraine’s president as a nonstaff adviser since February, will be appointed as leader of the country’s Odessa region, multiple sources confirm.
According to RBC.ua, a source in the presidential administration confirmed Friday that President Petro Poroshenko signed the decree. A spokesman for the Odessa region administration announced that Saakashvili on Saturday will be presented as the new head of the region.”
http://www.newsweek.com/ex-georgia-president-lead-ukraines-odessa-region-337523
It is also reported that the tie-eater has become an Ukrainian citizen, though in order to become an Ukranian citizen he has to renounce his Georgian citizenship.
The Onion couldn’t improve on this for warped humour.
Is there no end to this idiocy and madness?
This video is hosted here on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/user/crimeanfront/videos
This ridiculous new player that South Front insists on using in its web site is a step backwards. It teases us with showing that the video is hosted on YouTube, but then eliminates the link for us to click over to YouTube, where the video streams much faster.
I live in hope that word of this will get back to the South Front people somehow. They make some great videos, but they’ve shot themselves in the foot with this BS player.
Note to the IT people at Saker – the Embed code that the player on the South Front website produces forces the stream to come through that website, which in turn is streaming from YouTube. Not good. It would be an extra step, but it would be better for your readers if you could go to the source at YouTube and get the embed code directly from that video. It’s a lot cleaner and eliminates this “hip” and useless new player.
Well…
The reason why many have started haveing copies offline is because (google, or usa gov through excuses of “copyright”, “complaints”, “to graphic” etc, censors thousands of videoes of ukraine and other warcrimes).
Ive noticed it last year. Where suddenly old links did not work.
And out of curiosity went through more. I could count hundreds on hundreds of links was censored of youtube. Deleted by youtube. (Or more correctly by usa gov censorship).
Also noticed that many streamings, tvchannels reporting from ukraine has been cut off from youtube on several occassions.
Including RT. (The streaming-channels usually gets cut of for days and then come back. But some do not come back).
So yes it is a very active information war going on.
Not only are the west sending out tons of propaganda, threatening indirectly/directly people spreading thruth, but they also do alot of work in deleting and censoring the truth and real information.
I even one time had people call my company, to complain on my views on a discussion forum.
I never wrote anything hard or anything, but i used my facebook inlogging through the discussion forum on a site.
And the sickose actually took the trouble to find out where i worked and sent in (even think they called the company) to complain about me.
I got called in by HR. Talked with them, and thnxfully everything went well.
(I have a high standing in the company).
But it shows at what length some of the sick brainwashed people will go, just to gag opposite opinions.
I had not even said anything slightly hard. Basicly just said they should double check their facts, and things are not as it seems in western media, etc.
So if anyone wonders why i always use “anonomous” logins, such things like this is the reason.
But sad part is that many newssites are getting close to be perverted sick/fanatic brainwashed-westmsm nowdays,
If that path continues 5-10 more years, then we will have Hitler tendencies. Where even “newssites” report the ip-adress/real names to authorities of users that is not following the “msm/gov hardline”.
I would not even be surprise if usa gov/nsa allready logging/filtering people in the west who do not follow the “msm truth”.
But as long enough people speak up, then its ok.
But the day to few people speak up, they will be marked (and maybe “burned” in some aspects).
Hope this will not continue for another 5-10 years of the western madness.
Because i dont like this dangerous path.
I wonder if Saakashvili governorship appointment to Odessa has something to do with neighbouring Transnistria and Russian peacekeepers there?
Technical faults make it unwatchable Saker … you risk losing following if your site does not do what it is supposed to do.
That’s a bit of a stretch, isn’t it?
You just come here to watch SouthFront?
No I do not. I aslo rate The Saker amongst the highest and most essential truth telling analysts available, and his phenomenal efforts are much appreciated. I merely attempt to draw urgency to faulty delivery of information at this critical time. I tend to skip even the good sites if they are frequently problematic, and The Saker knows his site has experienced more than it’s fair share of problems, for whatever reason.
I will not reply to the ‘click here for full refund’ comment below as doing so would infer that it is worth a reply.
We have spoken to SouthFront and they are trying to track down the problem. Meanwhile we can post the alternative links for viewing it.
The truthseekers will never abandon the submarine.
FYI technical problems happen on all websites.
Maybe you can learn from the honorable Saker.
This requires an open mind, humility, empathy.
Or go back to your ZioNazi MSM.
Thier empty content is for empty minds.
I don’t know — how can I track this stuff down?
But much of the web is unusable for me now.
Old machine and using XP? Bad or noisy DSL phone line? Slow or throttled ISP?
All I get is extremely slow response and a constantly running drive when on the Internet.
Ive given up on Russia Insider. Went there yesterday, to story about Cambridge not printing something from some trollop at Heritage foundation. When I found out where the video was from I exited from Youtube, but then the video started playing at RI — and I couldn’t stop, or page up, and ended up having to cut the power to the computer to get out — even the hard reset button on the machine didn’t work.
I went to an ATT site this morning about what they have for cell phones (they disconnected my Trakfone — almost a thousand minutes left, but it never worked right and they keep screwing up leaving me without a working cell phone, and customer ‘service’ is nearly useless), and had to reboot to get out. I tried to save with Firefox MHT-save plugin to keep the previous crisis news page, with links to RSS feed from Grieved, and it hung again (said was trying to download dontate gif) — had to reboot.
It’s all virtually unusable now unless I want to spend an hour to view and/or archive a couple of pages.
Now I see on the modem that I’m still connected to the ISP (CenturyLink) network but their Internet is down. — Now it came back again… for the moment. It’s often intermittent now.
I don’t know why, from who or how, but for me, the Internet is pretty much dead. Not that I won’t know what in general is happening — the system is breaking apart, in the US at least, and maybe elsewhere, and the fascists keep raging on. It’s becoming a ‘third world’ country here. As one of those living in poverty, and disabled (I think form pollution and GMOs), I’m one of the first to feel it, like a canary in a coal mine, but it’s everywhere, getting into everything.
One example: I never turn on the radio any more. As a kid I had 3 or 4 classical music radio stations to listen to; now, forget about it. I turn the dial and bfft, bfft, bfft, and in between the static another stations comes in — all with the exact same program as most others — bad country music or Rush LImbaugh, last time I tried. No variety, no real news, no truth — all down to which commercials you prefer to hear. Like Orwell’s Telescreen where it’s the same everywhere, and forget about any notion of ‘free trade’ or ‘competition’. Will the Internet end up tobe any different? So far we see the signs of every news site having the same stories from the same sources — all lies and spin. Competition and diversity are bad jokes, and soon it seems even basic functionality. This is what fasicsm also looks like.
Blue, try all or any of these :
oldish machine and XP you should not have Firefox any younger than about 26.0 or 27.0 at the most. Pick one from here https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
The newer they are the more junk they have in them. Set it up to never upgrade and not even search for upgrades. (tools>options>advanced).
=================
absolute must, AdBlockPlus — halves pageload times
===============
In a new tab type
about:config
right click, choose New>Boolean then in the dialog that comes up, type config.trim_on_minimize
then when it asks you, select TRUE then close the tab.
After this, any time you minimise all windows, it will release a heap of stuck memory. Useful to do this both before and after downloading videos.
============
If you are running a real-time anti-virus, get rid of it. Biggest memory hogs ever invented. Especially Norton or McAffee particularly bad. Get and run something like Malwarebytes or CCleaner once a week or so. I’ve not caught a virus in 5 years. (use commonsense on weird links).
======================
Tools>options> content …. set load Images to NEVER.
=================
anything you want to download (video or MHT, open it or move it to a new window. This lets you minimize all other windows, letting the heavy job use max memory
================
never unplug the computer. Just Ctrl Alt Del to be bale to choose Task Manager, on which you can right click and “End Process” just for the browser, if necessary. Use this also to End Process the plugin-container.exe once you’re done with a video (it will restart itself if needed again). Task Mgr is small, you can keep that running all day.
===+==+==+==+==+==+==+===
At the very minimum take Vitamin D 1000 units and vitamin C 500mg a day. A few weeks of probiotic yoghurt useful to rebuild gut bacteria, which is what GMOs do moist damage to, so you never ever get full value from your other food either. Drink milk for protein, keep away from anything soy.
I’m downloading FF 27 — can try it.
Other things I’ll play with as I get time and energy.
Gotta say I’m tired of spending more time on trying to upgrade, downgrade, configure, maintain, etc. the computer than I do working on the stuff I have it for. I still have LInux to work on — maybe eventually I can find a version that works. Getting a new roof soon so the ceiling doesn’t keep leaking on me so I have put tarps over eveything and can’t use the computer.
But you know — you shouldn’t have to be a programmer or geek to run a computer; after decades of messing with it I’m tired of doing that stuff. Probably like when an auto mechanic gets old he just wants to drive his car, not take apart every weekend.
My pro-biotic is kefir — made with kefir grains — but it’s of limited help. No magic cures to toxins wrecking one’s gut (or dealing with fibromyalgia).
It’s really hard to live as normal human being should now — and I’m a hell of lot better off than many people I see around. Some spend all days walking around to collecting cans and scrap metal in a wagon to survive. A while back I was in a used stuff store and a woman aksed the clerk to set aside some shoes that $3 because she wouldn’t have the money for them until the weekend. This in “the richest and best country in the world” according to the lovely capitalists running the place.
I’m now running FF 27 instead of 36. And ad block.
Save text to file did not survive — shame — it was handy for downloading transcripts from youtube.
I tried
n a new tab type
about:config
right click, choose New>Boolean then in the dialog that comes up,
…
But right click didn’t work. As usual, I suppose, instructions I see don’t apply because Mozilla keeps changing the interface, menus, options, and such — no stability. And some of it may depend on which OS or machine I have. Stability, and learned user interface, is gone in many things now. The rule now is ‘fix it until it’s broken’ (used to be ‘the program isn’t done until Windows doesn’t run’).
It’s part of the culture, and of capitalism with it’s need for ever more expansion and ‘competition’ (with product differentiation) until you are a monopoly. These side effects of neolib and neocon and imperialist philosophy, with no balance, can’t be isolated from the rest of life. Take over Ukraine; take over computing, software, and the internet, Take over the world and make it all the same by killing everything else — which is the real aim and name of ‘competition’ now: limitless growth but no real improvement or development, so things are always different but never better. It’s a weird mind and linguistic game. Red Queen stuff, through this looking glass.
Above video — this skin icon can’t be loaded… or something. When I clicked on it I get the whirling thing repeating 7 6 5 4 3 7 6 5 4 3 7 6 ….. endlessly. Like the imperial wars, I guess.
Sorry, Blue, the “about:config” one you first get a warning about damaging your computer or some such, then should get a screen of single-line items in 3 columns, and you right click any white space in that page. This part and Tools options have not changed in years, I have many versions and doing this in XP now.
The VIDEO is useless for everyone and we’ve told them Get it from their youtuibe page, where it works as normal.
https://www.youtube.com/user/crimeanfront/videos
This time the config worked. Don’t know why it didn’t before — maybe installing 27 and then closing and reopening FF made a difference?
The unnht saver crashes FF when I tried it on FortRus, so now I’m using FF’s archive saver so I can download a page with images — which works better than it did in FF36. Computers are like a combination lock now to find the versions and configuration which work.
Thanks a bunch for your help!!
I wait with bated breath for Russia et al to release a solid OS (Rusnix?), browser, and email client, with a few comon apps. If they wanted to take over the world (or break the empire), that’s a good way to do it. Russians are good at this stuff — I worked for a company once where one of the other people (a Russian) there could run a COBOL compiler in his head.
quickly set it to never look for updates or it will do one behind your back; the add-on go get earlier version
Blue, I have an HP desktop. Every problem I have had has been cured by using “system restore” & it’s free.
Gut problems: try omitting all grain for a week to see if it helps. Breads and cereals mostly have GMOs in them. All-wheat pasta doesn’t yet have GMOs but the wheat has been so “improved” that there’s something wrong w the gluten & lots of people have problems w it.
Hope things improve. Take care.
I am reading your post and am thinking, yes indeed. The infrastructure of the country is deteriorating very fast. As if one is observing it all on an an eerie rapid time-lapse video display … once upon a time it was, now look what it has become…
***
Just a side thought. We take Internet communications for granted, and hardly ever give a thought to what might become of it, will it be here tomorrow, or in which form – restricted?…
Before the Internet, one had to rely on short-wave reception to get any news from afar, even though those were mainly from other governments’ official sources. Then, there was also the HF radio amateur traffic, which you could monitor with a better set, and even participate in it – voice, telegraphy – all with some modest investment of learning effort and money. There were no satellites to rely on, just plain bouncing the EM waves off the natural ionosphere F layer.
And my thought is, what if there comes a big calamity that suddenly renders all the internet and satellite communications unusable? This isn’t too far fetched. So perhaps, we would have to secure ourselves with broad-spectrum transceivers for such a scenario, to allow us any two-way contacts with the outside world. (Things have advanced quite a bit in that realm since the “olden times”. And there is plenty of amateur and military surplus gear.)
I know mostly nothing about it, but there are people working on alternative radio and network systems, much of it in secure ways that is hard to take down, or even detect. If it collapses there will be some kind of skeleton there, even if most people can’t access it directly.
Christmas Day 1974 the northern Australian city of Darwin, with 47,000 people, got totally wiped out by Cyclone Tracy. Everyone expected it to bypass them, as up to dozens of cyclones did every year. “Everyone” unclouded the Bureau of Meteorology.
All power and all telephone lines to the outside world were cut. People staggered out in the just breaking dawn to see 70% of their city flattened.
The call for help went out from two ham radio operators, who were able to contact a ship, which, after initial disbelief, relayed their message to authorities, who discovered that, indeed, they can’t contact Darwin at all. And so help was sent. Only 71 died but many were injured; the emergency services could radio each other car to car but their towers (and therefore control centres) were down. Shortwave and amateur radio was the only way the arriving authorities could contact their bases for days, too.
==============
Today there are solar powered and wind-up dynamo powered shortwave radios. Just for hearing news, a $40 normal range one would do. Ham kit is not cheap anymore, but set5tlements could perhaps pitch in to share one (small town, large apartment block etc). .
Don’t count on the authorities to think ahead on this. Example:
In my city they have a multi-milllion dollar alarm and loudspeaker system in the inner city, so they can tell people to evacuate in an emergency (imagined as terrorism of course).
There was a disastrous meltdown of an underground power cable, blacking out 30 blocks, leaving huge high-rise office buildings with no power — not for lifts, not for phones, not for lights. So they thought to use the loudspeaker system to tell people to WALK OUT because it will be a few days…..
They DID NOT WORK. Because the power was out everywhere, right? Because they had not thought to buy them with BATTERIES.
Dark humor?
My town installed a siren system and emergency radio station in case of tornado.
There was a warning some weeks after, and I turned on the radio — AM, and of course there was nothing but a constant stream of static from the electrical storm. Completely useless.

Electromagnetic weapon of Russia, English subtitles
couldn’t hope to have done a more thorough job of interference.
This is the difference we can see between USA and Russian tanks and other serious gear:
The Empire school of design.
1) someone designs it for something
2) someone else sells it as a solution to
3) something else to
4) someone who hires
5) someone else to modify it
F35 can’t fly in rain and “years” before they get the guns to shoot.
Soviet/Russia school of engineering
1) incredibly “big ask” specifications
2) worked on by specialist teams
3) to engineer something that
4) meets all requirements
TU-160 still fastest highest bomber after 30 years
Both our alarm owners bought a nice idea, instead of looking at the conditions of use. Perhaps they’re of the generation that knows food grows in plastic bags.
On the upper comment you mentioned Darwin and the ‘brown out’.
Outback people before mobile phones,mostly used CB radio,but all ‘station’ properties or isolated places had SW ham radio contacts.
Many had their own crop duster planes and landing strips for serious emergencies,now they probably have helicopters.
Working out in the bush myself and all my mates had CB radio in the car,useful for chatting on a 100 mile commute or calling for help.
Tracy was bad, but the rebuild tradesmen made a killing,a bit like the gold rush days, best thing since sliced bread.
——————
If Blue is around I’m still using an old IBM clone,1 gig CPU,1 gig RAM and a 10 gigabyte hard drive.
I am still using XP with a control panel setting ‘Auto Updates’ = OFF
Like K.K. no Norton Anti-virus..it will check EVERYthing!
Also I am still using FireFox 6.0.2 with options set to No Auto Update.
If using hard disk space for large downloads it is worth checking for Defraging ‘C’ drive and any other logical partitions you may have.. D,E,etc etc.
I don’t bother saving anything now…..after all when I pop my clogs, everything will be put in a skip!
I’m on an old gateway T3302, 2ghz, maxed out at 1gb ram, 160BG drive. Emachines are not that great, and it came with a one of those XP images instead of real install disk — real nuisance!
One big problem with the newer machines i no documentation. My first PC was a Heath/Zenith 8086 I soldered together — had all the docs, including schematic. Everything except the source code for DOS (and I think even some of that). Also a hardware monitor/debugger that included a small assembler language. Beautiful machine for the time. I had access to every bit of software on the machine, could find out what it was for, and had full control over all the configuration files — it really WAS my machine. I miss those days. Power to the people!

My Computer R click > Manage > Services&Apps > Services
Anything you R click gives Properties which gives stop/start and Manual Auto Disable. Tab for Dependencies tells you; most things nothing depends on can be Disabled.
Disable ALL updates. If in doubt, turn Automatics to Manual. Check in Task Manager and you’ll see your TSRs (remember those?) drop from 40+ to 20+ — I have 26 processes with 2 browsers and a text editor running.
If memory gets awful and minimising doesn’t help, use Task Manager to just kill the browser; don’t reboot. If browser set up right it will recover everything. Set it to reload only active tab, so it doesn’t die trying to load 20 at once. (all this is in browser Tools>Options).
go to about:config find

Thanks, that was a good tip.
A few months back I changed my ISP and without my knowledge or approval installed an application called …’AddsbyAlldaySavings’.
It was driving me nuts!, pulling three ‘floating banner adds’ for every web page I visited,even Saker comments pages.
Even sites that avoid adverts,true there was a close option,but it was an irritant.
It was only by chance I went to Add/Remove programs,only to find my providers installation.
After removal of the application,I was still getting these damned adds and until your advice to Blue,I never thought about a trojan service,but with a visit, as suggested…….
‘AlldaySavings Services’ was tucked in there, now it is in stopped mode!.
The reason this pisses me off so much, is nobody should be able to overide my security options like that!….dangerous!.
The new ISP Hub came with just cables,no install disk!..so something is not quite right.
To install that Application they have access to the Registry.
This may well be helpful for others getting unsolicited adverts,so I will also post on a newer thread.
cheers.
I’m glad it helped you.
But you say “stopped” – if you just clicked “stop” it will start up again next time you reboot the computer. You also need to set it to Disabled (a little dropdown a bit higher up).
I had auto-update or look-for-update for 2 browsers, an anti-virus I don’t use (but was once forced to have installed), ..net framework which I don’t use, 2 for Google Earth and something else. The older your computer the more you have to watch this, as comes a point where the software demands a hardware upgrade.
I also forgot,…. turn off sleep and standby as well.They often don’t work properly anyway and they eat memory. if you need to reboot, never do a hot reboot (“restart” Windows calls it)/ Always do a cold reboot – full shutdown, power off, start again. These 2 variations clear memory differently.
Thanks.
I went to that and it doesn’t look like any updates are on, but there are a bunch of other things which I don’t know what they do or whose they are and where they came from, so I have to look them all up somewhere trying to find out. Maybe they are all legitimate, but I don’t know, and one of the disabled services is AOL — which I have been trying to eradicate completely from the machine since I got it, but have never been able to.
I have also set things in the past which were mysteriously reset. windows doesn’t let me just back up the entire system, and it deletes restore point when it wants to, so I can’t even save a stable configuration if some mysterious thing goes bad. I’d have to get some other software, often expensive *and/or based on a live Linux CD), and a bug hard disk, also expensive to try, and I’m not sure it would even work. With DOS I could disk copies, back up all the directories and configuration files — the entire system if I wanted, but Windows doesn’t give me access to many things even when I ‘hack’ into it to log on as ‘system’.
This is like having a house where you go down to the cellar and finding strange people wandering around — all with no ID and unlisted phone numbers, and usually speaking foreign languages.
The biggest problem I have had is lack of documentation or information, and Microsoft charges thousands of dollars to get most of it, but won’t give you all of it anyway. It’s really impressive to go on to the Microsoft support site, find some problem you have, and everyone, even the ‘support’ people there, writing that they have the same problem and don’t know what to do.
Any one catch this porky is named for a nobel peace prize http://www.globalresearch.ca/u-s-pressures-nobel-committee-to-declare-ukraines-president-a-peace-prize-nominee-leaked-letter/5452448
HAHA yes, Porky for Peace POrize? good joke.
Seems John Kerry is nominated too. Well they’ve sure wrecked the value of that prize in the past 8 or 10 year4s.
There are 276 nominations, so perhaps there is someone deserving and non-political among them. Sadly, people like that don’t have pressure groups or bribe funds….
…no, the rumors are wrong. It is not John Kerry that was nominated, but the horse he is riding.
I could support giving him one if we could “recall” Obama’s for him.
I must say that I’m impressed with their ability to continue finding new depths to sink to.
Yes, that’s a good idea…Give Obama’s prize to Porky
Why not? The war criminal Obozo has one. Then All kinds of people can try to access to Porky’s house, fly drones over it, crash cars in the gates, The whole world is becoming as absurd as “The Onion”.
By the way, I hate being a “blue head”, But I understand why.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Just as World War II was wrapping up, a new mission by the United States was just getting started building new military bases around the world.
This includes dozens of bases in places like Japan, Germany and Italy, all in the name of national security and global peacekeeping.
American University Anthropology Professor David Vine called it a super-sized collection, with more than 800 U.S. run foreign military bases, compared to 30 foreign bases run by all other countries combined.
“Many of them exist in large part because of inertia,” Vine said. “There isn’t necessarily a good reason why they exist. People have come to believe they protect us.”
In his new book, Base Nation: How U.S. Military Bases Abroad Harm America and the World, Vine argues the opposite is often the case.
“These bases have enflamed the kind of anti-americanism that is extremely dangerous to our national security,” he said.
And then there’s the cost.
Vine found that between $70 – $100 billion a year of taxpayer money goes to operate overseas bases in non-warzones.
If you add in bases in Afghanistan and Iraq, that number goes up to $170 billion.
However, there are plenty of people who argue the bases continue to be necessary, since the war on terror has become a global threat, the U-S should hold onto and fund these bases indefinitely.
“That is the role the United States has as a global super power,” said Rick Brennan, Senior Political Scientist with The RAND Corporation.
What do you expect RAND corporation to say? they’re in it up to their eyeballs. All their money comes from writing up further plans for what to use the bases for.
:…since the war on terror has become a global threat,…” perhaps you or whoever you’re quoting meant to say TERROR is a global threat. But it is perfect as written — the WAR on terror is the global threat. Which they are so keen to keep going that they also make the terrorists to have the war against.
“… between $70 – $100 billion a year of taxpayer money goes to operate overseas bases…”
It is time to cancel the ‘xy amount of taxpayer money’ phrase out of our dictionaries. If the West would really have to rely on taxpayer money for its nefarious deeds, the military-inteligence-surveillance-industrial-media complex wouldn’t even be a tenth of its current size.
The CIA/Pentagon is financed by brutal mafia methods and criminal banking and central-banking that exploit and the destroy planet earth and impoverish 90% of humanity.
By now I have decided to take it easy and look on the bright side: they will just run out of money sooner than otherwise!
thanks South Front for your great news channel…Go Iragi Army Go !!! And I love the Houthis. If I was a Muslim, I would choose to be a Shia Muslim.
Putin is your night in shining armour Ann. I believe he is single too :)
I would like to ask a question. Why does Turkey’s president Ergodan want to dislodge Assad ?
Ann, I’ll take a stab at it.
Before WW1 the Ottoman Empire controlled much more territory than modern day Turkey.
After 1918,Britain,France and the USA re-modelled the ME and Europe.
France got parts and Britain got the Palestine mandate, Wiki …Sykes-Picot……..
“The Sykes–Picot Agreement, officially known as the Asia Minor Agreement, was a secret agreement between the governments of the United Kingdom and France,[1] with the assent of Russia, defining their proposed spheres of influence and control in the Middle East should the Triple Entente succeed in defeating the Ottoman Empire during World War I. “.
Now Britain,France and the US are playing games,games which are devastating to the people living there……..but……………these are exceptionals.
The Ottoman provinces are what are being contended for,and Turkey clearly would like it’s own slice of the pie, hence…. games all round!.
In geopolitics,a 100 years is nothing! the ‘agreement’ is only 99 years old,a blink of the eye for bureacrats, the old rules apply…..Big brother protects little brother…..or …..Big fish swallow little fish.
The big picture is much,much bigger than this…..but it is a place to start from.
If the United States of 1812 had annexed BC wouldn’t modern day Canadians want it back?
cheers..
That Israel-America’s ISIL cannibals are executing their own “generals” is very good news. When they start going after each other like that, it’s one of those positive signs that a force is falling apart internally.
Falling apart internally? Already? What chance will they have when they run into BRICS.
“Palestine drops motion to suspend Israel from FIFA”
Excerpt: Palestine unexpectedly dropped its motion to suspend Israel from international football on Friday amid highly-charged scenes at the FIFA Congress.
Instead, soccer’s governing body agreed to send observers to monitor the freedom of players and officials to travel to and from the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories — one of the main complaints raised by Palestinian authorities.
In a statement from Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed what he called the Palestinians’ failure to freeze Israel out of world soccer, saying it represented a success for his government’s diplomatic efforts.
Many ordinary Palestinians expressed anger and disappointment over the decision to avoid a showdown.

“Spain makes US rapid force at Moron base permanent“

I’m guessing Rajoub agreed to the compromise and called off the vote because he was informed the vote would fail. The American “corruption arrests” were designed to intimidate all of FIFA and were basically a threat of the sort: “you vote Israel out and you too will be investigated for corruption”. One can figure many of these people have engaged in corrupt practices so are vulnerable to blackmail. Given the choice of a failed vote gaining them nothing at all, or the compromise deal, the Palestinians chose the latter because it might alleviate the zionazi persecution of their teams and players at least somewhat.
Danny
As part of the deal Palestine has asked that the UN make a detetermination,(within 3 months), on whether the 5 Israeli teams who play in the West Bank are playing in their own country.
This will result in an international effort to make Israel recognize the 1967 borders and to finally give the resilent Palasinians their own country.
Another nail in the coffin for the cruel racist aparthied criminal enterprise known as Israel.
Some people were afraid that Putin will sell out Syria.. If so after Lavrov’s comments and the latest developments should put their mind to rest..
Russia has sent a Parliamentary delegation to Damascus to reassure Syria of Moscow’s deep commitment to the security and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic emphasizing growing technological cooperation between the two sovereign nations. SyrPer can confirm that a record number of ships and cargo planes from Russia have been both docking and landing in Syria’s coastal zones carrying bottles of vodka.
and those ships are NOT carrying bottles of vodka
Russia Scales Back Aid to Syrian Govt, Withdraws Key Personnel
Seems Russia recalled 100 personal stationed at their naval base and Israel is using that as Russia dropping support for Assad and leaving Syria to make the US happy and get sanctions removed.
Although it looks like the Syrian government is not in danger of failing apart at this point, they have pulled back to population centers to consolidate their hold on the country. But hey perception is everything. Because of state support to the terrorists, Syria army is pulling back to areas which can be defended much easier. It looks like Syria lost a few towns close to turkey because of Turkish indirect fire support at Syrian positions when the terrorists were attacking them. There is also an article about how the Turkish border guards stopped trucks of arms heading out to Syrian terrorists managed by the Turkish intelligence agency.
EU Migrant Quotas Ignite Racism in Northern Europe
Finland’s new speaker of parliament refused to comment on her immigration-critical blog after her election, but said that people in Muslim countries cannot “participate in society.” Estonia’s interior minister said on Wednesday that the country opposes quotas for migrant resettlement that would increase the number of migrants in Estonia. The country’s former Foreign Minister Kristiina Ojuland went farther, saying that the “white race is threatened.”
In Finland, the speaker of Parliament is the second most-powerful political office after the President.
Estonian politician Kristiina Ojuland, made multiple posts and comments on her Facebook page, calling for an end to Mediterranean migration. Ojuland used the word “neeger” to describe an African migrant, a term seen as increasingly socially unacceptable in Estonia.
“Stop using the word ‘racist’! As a white person, I feel that the white race is threatened today!” Ojuland wrote on her Facebook, responding to comments calling her remarks racist.
The leader of the Estonian parliament’s Conservative People’s Party, Mart Helme, echoed Ojuland’s sentiment.
“Ojuland expresses views identical to those of the Conservative People’s Party,” Helme told Estonian news agency BNS.
And your problem is BOT??
There is a difference in countries allowing migration of which people keen to move and adapt to the country they are migrating to as opposed to refugee dumping migration due to refugee countries being destroyed by hegemon.
Stop the criminal destruction of countries around the world and exploiting them and there will more than likely be a drastic reduction in refugee migration. Migration that is bad for the refugee in most cases and bad for the host country. If you look at issues Norway and Sweeden are having with large migrant intakes of people far removed culturally to those Northern Countries, then you could understant Finland and Estonies point of view. Finland itself has had it share of refugee migrant problems from Kosovars and Somalis.

White-supremacy is an expression of a feeling of inferiority. It always amazes me how self-unaware and oblivious white supremacists are about how obvious this aspect of their personalities is to everybody else.
BOT it has nothing to do with colour or that recent made up concept of race but it has much to do with culture and being able to adapt to the realtive norms and values of the new place of residence.
I sure as hell would not expect Japanese, Zimbabweans, Chiilians, Russians or anyone else to bend over backwards if I choose to live in their country and same for the reverse.
You do realise “Racism” ir a recent invention to further the divide and rule paradigm???
Another thought,
No one is above another, we are all different and diversity should be embraced and encouraged. I wonder with dominance in global media and cultural imperialism, where the real supremists lie.
And I should have read your comment again before answering, late hours. Still comments about invention of race as a means of control stand. ))
Russia to Take Part in South China Sea Naval Exercises
Russia will take part in South China Sea counter-terrorism exercises as it becomes increasingly concerned with security and stability in the region.
Russia will conduct naval exercises in the South China Sea in 2016, together with its partners in the Asia Pacific Region, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said at a defense summit in Singapore on Saturday.
Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue summit of defense ministers, Antonov said that Russia is increasingly concerned for its security, citing US missile shield deployments, terrorism and “color revolutions.” Russia will also conduct its first-ever exercises together with Brunei in 2016.
“We are concerned by US policies in the region, especially since every day it becomes increasingly focused on a systemic containment of Russia and China,” Antonov said.
US Ramping Up ‘Containment’
Antonov also said that US policies in the region are increasingly aimed against China and Russia, and that US missile destroyers pose a threat to stability in the region.
“Despite our concerns about the US global missile defense architecture, they continue a policy of disrupting strategic stability, adding a regional segment of an anti-missile ‘shield’ in the Asia-Pacific,” Antonov said.
The zio-media and pindo regime will no doubt describe this as “Russian aggression” and as an “intrusion into the American sphere of influence”, neglecting to mention that Russia is closer to the South China Sea than pindoland is. :D

US won’t accept idea of global ‘spheres of influence’ – Biden

The US rejects the idea of any nation claiming a sphere of influence, Vice President Joe Biden told a Washington think tank, arguing that the crisis in Ukraine was about the principles and values of the West and international order.
“We will not recognize any nation having a sphere of influence,” the vice president said during a speech at the Brookings Institution on Wednesday. It remained unclear whether the remark applied to US influence around the globe, or referred only to Russia, China and other countries.

Somebody had a REAL craving for chocolate.
I am a regular follower of the South Front news and I want to congratulate you for your coverage. I have a criticism though: please don’t fall in the trap of presenting the yemeni conflict as a Shiite group against a Sunni coalition. Nothing is more remote from reality and it only serves the interests of those who started this conflict (i.e. Israel, USA and their puppets). The same applies to many other conflicts in the ME, starting with Syria, which as you know never had anything to do with a civil war between Alawites and Sunnis.
Since Minsk 2 very few Donbass phone vids on Liveleak, except for the UKRO phone vids. There’s a lot of war action going but very little coming out to us, seems NovoRusia Command has put in media control. More than 50% of Southfront’s recent videos about Yemen and Syria and gotten from the major media outlets. The Vietnam style reporting has been shut down.
