I just have listened to a very interesting interview of a Russian military expert named Vladilav Shurygin. For the Russian speakers I am posting it below: Now for those of you who do not speak Russian, I want to summarize Shurygin’s main hypothesis: that the US will use a “two-phase” approach to Iran very similar to the one it used on Iraq: a) The first phase would involve a massive
by Vladimir Putin The world is changing, and the transformations underway could hide various risks, often unpredictable risks. In a world of economic and other upheaval, there is always the temptation to resolve one’s problems at another’s expense, through pressure and force. It is no surprise that some are calling for resources of global significance to be freed from the exclusive sovereignty of a single nation, and that this issue
Commentary: Amazing interview, isn’t it? Read between the lines and think about it: what is Wilkerson *really* saying? He is saying that the entire US political establishment, the entire US polity, is completely controlled by, and powerless against, the Israel Lobby. Even though many politicians and government officials fully understand that the USA is headed towards a disastrous war against Iran, they are unable to do anything to prevent that
Remember the ridiculous fairytale about the “Iranian terrorist’ arrested in the USA“? Well, it looks like these kinds of “kindergarten false flag operations” are picking up pace. After the clueless Iranian ‘terrorist’ in the USA, we were told about a clueless bomber in Delhi (who only managed to wound a few people) and a homemade toy bomb in Georgia (it used a regular hand grenade). Now it get even better:
by Vladimir Putin Russia is a welfare state. We have a much higher level of social guarantees than other countries with similar productivity and per capita income levels. In recent years, more than a half of public expenditure has been going into the social sphere. Over the past four years, our social spending has grown by 50% in absolute numbers, or from 21% to 27% in relation to GDP. None
The Israeli regime has clearly shown its real nature again by awarding its “Presidential Medal” to one of the most evil politicians of our times, the notorious war criminal Henry Kissinger. But then, there is a certain logic to this: a criminal regime whose leaders are all criminals, running a criminal political entity grant a fellow criminal the highest recognition. Makes sense, doesn’t it? By the way, this Presidential Medal
By Pepe Escobar for the Asia Times Here’s a crash course on the “democratic” machinations of the Arab League – rather the GCC League, as real power in this pan-Arab organization is wielded by two of the six Persian Gulf monarchies composing the Gulf Cooperation Council, also known as Gulf Counter-revolution Club; Qatar and the House of Saud. Essentially, the GCC created an Arab League group to monitor what’s going
This has been a good day for Russia. First, Russia and China both vetoed the US/NATO UNSC demanding regime change in Syria. Second, the various demonstrations which took place in Moscow showed that no “Orange Revolution” is likely to take place in Russia, at least not in the foreseeable future. Here is what took place at the UNSC: As for the demonstrations in Moscow, here is what took place: The
David came up with another fantastic song. Here is what he writes about it: Ever since the rightwing nutjobs started complaining that Barack Obama is a tree-hugging, socialist, immigrant-loving, peace-loving Muslim I’ve thought, “if only it were true.” This morning it occurred to me to write a song about it. Check it out: <p><br><br><br><br><br><br>I love<br></p> I love the man, there is no other way to put it :-) The Saker
by Vladimir Putin We are living in a period of radical change in the global economy. Technology is being modernised faster than ever before. Much of what is routine to us today looked like science fiction 15 to 20 years ago. The struggle for global leadership has become more acute than ever before, and we see countries whose standing seemed rock solid giving way to those countries that were looked
By Alison Weir for “CNI” via Information Clearing House On January 13th the Atlanta Jewish Times featured a column by its owner-publisher suggesting that Israel might someday need to “order a hit” on the president of the United States. In the column, publisher Andrew Adler describes a scenario in which Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu would need to “give the go-ahead for U.S. based Mossad agents to take out a president
On Friday, October 17th, 2008, right before the 2008 Presidential election, I posted the following video of Malcolm X: and I added the following words: So what do you think? Is Obama a threat to the system (a “field negro”) or the obedient slave of the system (a “house negro”)? Is Obama a force for “change”? Time has proven, beyond any doubt, that Obama was not only a ‘house negro’,
Slashdot reports: “Federal prosecutors in Virginia have shut down notorious file-sharing site Megaupload.com and charged the service’s founder with violating piracy laws. The Associated Press broke the story on Thursday, reporting that the indictment accuses Megaupload.com’s owner with costing copyright holders including record labels and movie studios more than $500 million in lost revenue.”* “Shortly after a federal raid today brought down the file sharing service Megaupload, hackers aligned with
I recently found this video on YouTube. Check it out: Occupy Oakland: Police Standoff & Brutal Assault, Tear Gas Aren’t they wonderful? Don’t they look so evil and dumb that remind you of some Hollywood flick based on Orwell’s 1984? I love the big guy whacking his baton on the barrier to scare off some poor women. Fascism is already here, folks, make no mistake about it.
The BBC reports: Israel’s Supreme Court has upheld a law banning Palestinians who marry Israelis from gaining Israeli citizenship. The excuse used by the court? “Human rights do not prescribe national suicide,” Judge Asher Grunis wrote in the judgment. Now that is an amazing confession, isn’t it? What Judge Grunis is saying is the following: (excuse the large print, but this is worthy of being stressed as much as possible)
