Beeb’s take on nutty election.
nigh on 70 years now; why change anything?
he White House has condemned what it called “divisive rhetoric” in the Israeli election, won by Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party.
The US, EU and UN have also urged him to continue with the two-state solution to the Palestinian issue.
During campaigning, Mr Netanyahu said he would not allow the creation of a Palestinian state if re-elected.
He aims to build a new coalition government within two to three weeks, his party says.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said: “It has been the policy of the United States for more than 20 years that a two-state solution is the goal of resolving the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-31953207
Sorry, Daniel, but the mere act of mentioning a Jew’s job is prime facie evidence of ‘antisemitism’, the most ubiquitous phenomenon in contemporary life.
Poland for a friend :-))) Ha, ha, ha :-))) That’s a really good Polish joke :-)))
*
Here ‘re some more ;-)
Q: How did the Germans conquer Poland so fast?
A: They marched in backwards and the Polish thought they were leaving.
Did you hear about the Polish Admiral who wanted to be buried at sea when he died? Five sailors died digging his grave.
A Polack went to the doctor and asked him for advice on how to improve his sex life. The doctor told him to jog ten miles a day, for seven days. Then call him.
A week later, the Polack telephoned.
“Well,” asked the doctor, “has jogging improved your sex life?”
“I don’t know,” said the Polack. “I’m seventy miles from home.”
A traveling salesman has an audience with the Pope and, not quite knowing what to say tries to break the ice with a joke…
“Have you heard the one about the two Polish priests, Holy Father?”
“But I _am_ Polish, my son.”
There followed a pregnant pause while the salesman thought quickly …
“That’s OK, Holy Father, I’ll tell you it slowly.”
While those were funny (and they were),I hope to not become anti-Polish.Personally,I think Poland is a great nation,and the Polish people are a great people.But ruled by some of the worse politicians in Europe. The tragedy of their history is sad.And even sadder is that much of that tragedy was caused by their leader’s own errors.
It is in the U.S.A. that I for the first time in my life heard of “Polish jokes”! In Europe, from where I had unfortunately immigrated in Soviet times, such thing was unheard of. In fact, in Eastern Europe Poles were generally viewed as a highly cultured nation.
So, I inquired among the U.S. natives about the origin of these. What I gathered was, that somewhere around the turn of the 19th/20th century many immigrants to America came from Polish countryside, village folks without much education, to work in American coal mines and steel mills and alike. Of course, they spoke no English, which was easily – and deliberately – interpreted by local morons as “stupidity”. I say, deliberately, since there has always been a bitter rivalry between various ethnic groups in the U.S. – all immigrant, of course, since everybody here is actually an immigrant, some came earlier, some later… Contrary to Hollywood propaganda, America has _never_ been a socially harmonious place, some magic “melting pot” or a “promised land” (depending on the phony movie script), but a cut-throat maze of rats in a competition for bare survival, an antithesis to noble human values and culture. Poor Poles simply got the short end of the stick with these jokes … which now stick (pun intended)…
I agree. The Polish people are a wonderful people.I’ve found them to be hardworking, kind, helpful, merciful, compassionate and deeply religious. These are Godly virtues, which today are considered “dumb” by many in our world.
But what else is new? in today’s societies right is wrong, and wrong is right.
And for anybody that might think I have some Polish blood/ancestors…I do not.
I do have a Polish friend that it’s the best person one can have as a friend.
Guest Post: How Putin Can Win The Economic War Against The West
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/18/2015 – 21:30
Russia must get aggressive in the economic war. You can win this economic contest in 24 months, if certain special zones in Russia simply are allowed to copy Swiss banking rules and regulations, as wealth will always flow to secure locations where taxes are low. You know what banking privacy and security did for Switzerland, it made a poor country with few natural resources the wealthiest nation in the world.
Makes sense and shows how Russia can swiftly win the economic war in a big way.
Just do it, Vlad. It’s what Sochi was all about, and it’s what China would want you to do to change from a Western model.
Great idea from the author, Ron Holland
Ronald Holland is the author of several books as well as numerous special reports and hundreds of articles on finance, investments, history and politics. He speaks and moderates frequently at financial and free-market conferences and has developed Swiss oriented financial products in the US and Switzerland and his lived and worked in the US, Switzerland and Canada. He was head of a bank trust department, president of an investment firm licensed in 47 states and involved in resort real estate marketing and sales. He consults with a wide range of individuals, corporations and entities. Ron Holland can be reached at ron@haim.li
“A low tax rate and friendly regulatory environment to attract European/American industry and money is a start. It appears Russia is now moving to offer economic citizenships and tax advantages in order to attract entrepreneurs as I wrote a couple of months ago and this will help.”
Oh, REALLY??? Fight neo-liberalism and Big Banks by doing EXACTLY what they have been doing for decades and what actually destroyed us? Give the rich more money?
Crazy. The craziest thing is that they are actually printing this nonsense, unless this is a western-owned paper.
Well the time has come although I haven’t heard the French or German reaction. Putin must tell them that this war will not be confined to the Ukraine and anyone helping the fascists forces are fair game. The Corporate State of America wants small, ineffectual states that are easily exploited and this all around the globe. Globalization they called it even the professor’s. Not capitalist expansion or Imperialism. LIke neo-con that is fascist, neo-liberal, no such thing as class we all have equal rights under the law. Socialist-believe a person has a right to work, whether they pay union dues or not they should still get the benefits of collective bargaining. Individual rights count-there is no such thing as collective rights-that is communism which is the same as takfiri terrorism. Middle Class-everyone caters to the mythical middle that person in a contradictory class location they exploit their own and others labour they are usually small business owner’s that also hate unions. Wall Mart destroys more small business then any social movement in history. This class does not have the social power to change the social relations of capitalism indeed they reveal in the notion of free enterprize and the self made man it is the government and taxes for the welfare state that is ruining his life but although he hates the government he needs the government as he has no real social power. They need the government to give career’s to their children, professorships, law, the moral gatekeeper’s of society. Physician’s, their enemy is the working class and the poor whom they must support through their taxes. IN the fascists state they will take up their roles with enthusiasm and wash the dust of economic collapse off their hands-they are totally preoccupied with issues that do not matter. Working Class-the only class that has the power to bring and end to the Capitalist Social Order and institute a post capitalist society based on principles of egalitarianism, universal justice, freedom from want, access to social goods such as education housing medical care and work, Society will be rationally organized and democratically administered by the direct producer’s.

This is off-topic, but all peace-lovers should care: we now have proof that Google is
a. pro-war
b. you can even say they are now part of US State Department
This is of a piece with Hollande’s deranged pledge to close down ‘conspiracy theory web-sites’, in the name of fighting that Universal Evil, ‘antisemitism’. Google, like much of the Internet, is Jewish controlled and has co-operated for years with the NSA. The Bosses realise that their lying, hypocritical, biased and moronic MSM is now viewed by those of over room temperature (Celsius) IQs with utter contempt, so, as prelude to the globalist fascist tyranny absolutely bound to be imposed soon as the Exceptionalist Empire crumbles, they must utterly crush Thought Crime. Coming so soon after the nauseating Je Suis Charlie exercise in compulsory Groupthink, where vicious and talentless hatemongers were raised to the rank of demi-Gods in the name of absolute Freedom of Opinion, this is hypocrisy so extreme as to defeat the dictionary in search of an appropriate term to describe it. These are insanely evil bastards.
BRUSSELS, March 19. /TASS/. The heads of state and government of 28 EU countries are due to gather for a two-day summit in Brussels on Thursday to discuss whether it is necessary to extend economic sanctions against Russia.
The president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, will call on the EU to back the extension of anti-Russian sanctions until the Minsk agreements are fully implemented, a spokesperson for the EU foreign policy service told a briefing Wednesday.
As related by Johan Hari in a recent radio interview, a senior US DEA thug, female, upon being informed that 60,000 Mexicans had died in the drug war there since the upsurge in repression ordered by the USA, expressed satisfaction at the ‘progress’. Addicted to murder, everywhere and always, our Exceptional Masters.
´Most astoundingly, though, of Secretary Nuland’s “rages”, this report says, was her reply to Minister Lavrov when asked by whose authority she was speaking, and to which she replied, “Cheney gives the orders here now, not Obama, and you assholes better get used to it!”´
If this is confirmed, it should be headline news.
Also, it would mean open subordination of Nuland, just like what Petreus did before he was fired, and Obama would not have no other option but to fire her (covering up this story does not seem an option anymore).
I simply cannot understand.We’re supposed to be somewhat informed on this site but still, people post crap from dis-info sites like “Sorcha Faal” and even the slick as shit “Veterans Today”.Some people really need to re-calibrate their Bullshit detectors.
These sort of sites, that peddle spurious disinfo to confuse people, and, crucially, discredit them if they are sucked in and then repeat the lies, are a Zionazi speciality. In the same territory, the ubiquitous evil of ‘antisemitism’, is now being utilised more and more as a smear and slander, and as a device to intimidate and silence, in numerous fields, including climate change, where I have seen Naomi Oreskes (herself of Jewish descent)accused of antisemitism over her expose’ of tobacco industry denialism and linking itself to climate change denial. And, of course, the wretched swine, Bernard-Henry Levy, accused all those ‘guilty’ of ‘anti-Americanism’ of being ‘antisemitic’ a few years ago, a truly revealing statement.
The inquiry has heard from several witnesses that Litvinenko and Berezovsky fell out in the summer before he died, though it is not entirely clear why. According to some, the dispute stemmed from a reduction, or even the severing, of Litvinenko’s stipend; others said that Litvinenko’s paid work for MI6 was a bone of contention. The quarrel, most agreed, was patched up well before Litvinenko’s death. But a recurrent theme of some testimony was that Litvinenko held a crucial secret: at least some of the death threats against Berezovsky, it was said, had been concocted for the sole purpose of obtaining UK asylum.
It is not necessary to “buy” this theory’s extension – that Litvinenko was preparing to blackmail Berezovsky – to feel that such knowledge could have given him a hold, and provided a less noble motive for his patronage.
When Litvinenko died I googled Polonium 210, for a little research. Can you imagine my surprise when the first sites appearing all mentioned that the first recorded instances of Po 210 poisoning were at Dimona, the secret Israeli nuke factory, back in the 50s or 60s. Weird, thought I. There you go, it was in 1957. Google the story yourself Po 210 poisoning Dimona. It’s very interesting. Remember too that the Mossad kidon death-squads kill without mercy, anyone who ‘gets in our way’, or anyone whose death would be advantageous to Israel’s Messianic ambitions. Of course Po 210 was found in Arafats belongings, where it could not have been accidentally. At first some French sayan claimed it was a ‘diagnostic agent’ from Arafat’s hospitalisation in France, a ludicrous lie, while at the same time Uri Avnery in the Israeli press was matter of factly reporting Sharon’s orders to Mossad to eliminate Arafat, a fact that the scum of the Western MSM dared not even report.
“Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the rally-concert “We Are Together”, held today in Moscow and on the anniversary of the reunification of the Crimea with Russia.
“Dear friends! Exactly one year ago, these days Russia and the Russian people showed remarkable composure and amazing patriotism and support Crimean Sevastopol.
We were all together, head and heart to understand and feel how important for us between the generations and times, as did much of our heroic ancestors for our country.
We realized that in regard to the Crimea it is not just about some areas – even strategically important – we are talking about millions of Russian people, our fellow citizens who need our help and support.
We understand how important this is to us. We realized that it is not just about the area, which we have enough. We are talking about the historical origins of the sources of our spirituality and statehood. It is about what makes us one people united and cohesive nation!
Dear friends! We are always in Russia have always believed that Russian and Ukrainian – are one people. I think so now.
Of course, extreme nationalism is always harmful and dangerous. I am sure that the Ukrainian people of Ukraine will still decent and objective assessment of the activities of those who brought the country to such a state to a state in which it is today.
For our part we will do everything to return to normal interstate relations.
And do we go forward. We will strengthen our statehood, strengthen our country. We will overcome the difficulties that we are so easy to create for themselves during the last time.
And of course we will overcome all the problems and difficulties that we are trying to throw outside. It is generally useless in regard to Russia.
Thank you for your support! Long live Russia! “
just some notes:EU proposing russian speaking media is obviously falling into a trap created by USA of diinformation war and being included and will be accused of deliberate destabilisation of foreign countries a la Nuland etc, whilst west is trying to get rid of RT,”establishing media aimed at the Russian-language speaking audience in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine and the EU countries”, re EU values etc
“Russia’s EU ambassador Vladimir Chizhov told TASS in November 2014 that a campaign to demonize Russia in Western media was a manifestation of information war.”

According to Darya Morozova, 200 self-defense fighters and up to 800 civilians are held by the Ukrainian side. The authorities of the Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) hope that Kiev will release at least 160 militia fighters any time soon.

Germany will boost defense spending from next year as NATO members respond to Russia’s involvement in the Ukrainian crisis and increased military exercises ordered by the Kremlin along the alliance’s borders.

“UKRAINIAN PARTISANS CARRIED OUT A SERIES OF MASSIVE ATTACKS ON THE OCCUPIERS IN DONETSK
Unfortunately, there were no losses on the part of the guerrillas”
Unfortunately????
For a start this is in direct violation of Minsk, never mind the simple fact that they are attacking their own people. Then they go on to celebrate it on national TV, and show sadness that no rebels died?
It seems Poroshenko is working with Romania to attack Transnistria and force it back into Moldova (which state Romania hopes to then annex to Romania BTW).Well the Transnistrians sent Poroshenko a letter telling him since he was so concerned about them returning to union with Moldova he should lead by example.And reunite Ukraine back with Russia.To show them the way its done.I doubt he liked that much.
Transdniester was part of the Soviet Union before 1939. Stalin had turned it into a separate Moldova republic to stress his claims on Romanian Moldova. But the population is rather similar to the adjacent Ukrainian area. So joining it to Ukraine is a rather logical solution.
The reason that Ukraine never has been enthusiastic about this solution is that north of Moldova there is a region with a Romanian speaking majority that might wish to join Romania. Another reason is that just that like in the Odessa region many speak Russian rather than Ukrainian.
My guess is that Washington feels some urge to get Moldova finally into the EU cq joined with Romania. Given the financial position of Ukraine they are now in a good position to pressure it to absorb Transdniester. However, the same financial situation – not to mention the war in the East – make it not very attractive for Transdniester to join Ukraine at the moment.
Moldova is a happy hunting-ground for the Israeli and Diaspora Jews who dominate the global human organ trafficking business. Nancy Scheper-Hughes, Professor of Medical Anthropology at Berkeley, who runs Organ Watch, and is the acknowledged expert in the field, noted that ‘Israel is at the top. Its has tentacles reaching out worldwide’. In a lecture given in 2008, Scheper-Hughes noted that the motivation for the trade was greed, but also, as stated by Israeli doctors and nurses involved ‘..revenge, restitution, reparation for the Holocaust. It’s kind of an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. We’re going to get every single kidney, liver and heart that we can. The world owes it to us’. And the lucky Moldovans apparently owe it to the Jews more than most. They are one of the lucky countries where, in Scheper-Hughes’ words, ‘…The sale of human organs and tissues requires that certain disadvantaged individuals, populations and even nations have been reduced to the role of ‘suppliers’. It is a scenario in which only certain bodies are broken, dismembered, fragmented, transported, processed, and sold in the interests of a more socially advantaged population… of receivers’.
Human organ trafficking has totally dropped off the Western MSM’s radar in recent years, yet more proof of Voltaire’s adage that you can judge who controls a society by noting who it is forbidden to criticise. And what’s the bet that the entrepreneurs of human dismemberment are at work in Banderastan.
The only body part that can be re-used from a long-dead person is BONE.
All organs need to be taken from a living person, or have blood circulation artificially maintained. If a donor has “the plug pulled” as soon as they die everything is turned on again, to keep the organs alive until removal; then they are good at most for 24 hours properly iced etc. You can’t chop out kidneys and lungs from dead bodies you find lying around on a battle field, dump them into crates, drive them around a few days without refrigeration and expect to be able to reuse them.
Incidentally, referring to Professor Scheper-Hughes’ work got me my first long period of “pre-moderation” on The Guardian’s ironically-named “Comment is Free” website. I made the mistake of mentioning that she was involved in making the case against the first person in the USA to be charged with organ-trafficking. The problem was that he was a Rabbi. Facts like that are definitely not sacred at The Guardian, and mentioning them makes you an antisemite in the eyes of their moderators.
(My second and on-going period on the naughty step wasn’t even for mentioning that someone was Jewish. I merely remarked to someone who had listed how many of the perpetrators of the Kiev putsch were Jewish that their post would not be on the website for long, as “polite society” only allowed people to be identified as Jewish in positive contexts.)
I know, kgbgb. On a small scale, it’s like when poor people have to sell their blood, to be able to buy a meal.
The only organs that can be live donated are those you have two of — kidneys, lungs, eyes, gonads. The last of these is never done (sperm or eggs may be extracted, is all). Eyes not needed, artificial lenses are too good now. Kidneys are the most in demand, and poor people do sometimes get taken to where one is removed (the bathtub of ice story is of course just an urban legend).
I just put this in because there were stories floating about organ stealing when a few mutilated bodies were found buried in Donbass.
In the US some years ago there was a big scandal when there was a sudden spike in a fairly rare bone cancer. It turned out the new victims had all received bone transplants (usually in reconstructing smashed limbs etc). Turned out the bone had been bought from a funeral director, who was stealing such useful parts form his clients, and this one had had bone cancer. He got most of the blame, not the bio-0tech company that bought without checking what it was buying.
Seriously? Can you imagine the Nazi/Bandera supporters accepting this in Kiev……they are so out of touch with reality because they make it up as they go along…..
Moscow should do their parade without the usual tanks and missile launchers. Just soldiers. “We won because we are the better people”. and “sorry, the missiles can’t be here, they’re busy….”

Beeb’s take on nutty election.
nigh on 70 years now; why change anything?
he White House has condemned what it called “divisive rhetoric” in the Israeli election, won by Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party.
The US, EU and UN have also urged him to continue with the two-state solution to the Palestinian issue.
During campaigning, Mr Netanyahu said he would not allow the creation of a Palestinian state if re-elected.
He aims to build a new coalition government within two to three weeks, his party says.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said: “It has been the policy of the United States for more than 20 years that a two-state solution is the goal of resolving the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians.”

Dear The Saker,

Well the (Western) Ukrainians are having a great life with their EU friend Poland. That’s what the EU brings…….
Rgds,
Veritas
Poland for a friend :-))) Ha, ha, ha :-))) That’s a really good Polish joke :-)))
*
Here ‘re some more ;-)
Q: How did the Germans conquer Poland so fast?
A: They marched in backwards and the Polish thought they were leaving.
Did you hear about the Polish Admiral who wanted to be buried at sea when he died? Five sailors died digging his grave.
A Polack went to the doctor and asked him for advice on how to improve his sex life. The doctor told him to jog ten miles a day, for seven days. Then call him.
A week later, the Polack telephoned.
“Well,” asked the doctor, “has jogging improved your sex life?”
“I don’t know,” said the Polack. “I’m seventy miles from home.”
A traveling salesman has an audience with the Pope and, not quite knowing what to say tries to break the ice with a joke…
“Have you heard the one about the two Polish priests, Holy Father?”
“But I _am_ Polish, my son.”
There followed a pregnant pause while the salesman thought quickly …
“That’s OK, Holy Father, I’ll tell you it slowly.”
While those were funny (and they were),I hope to not become anti-Polish.Personally,I think Poland is a great nation,and the Polish people are a great people.But ruled by some of the worse politicians in Europe. The tragedy of their history is sad.And even sadder is that much of that tragedy was caused by their leader’s own errors.
Agreed!
It is in the U.S.A. that I for the first time in my life heard of “Polish jokes”! In Europe, from where I had unfortunately immigrated in Soviet times, such thing was unheard of. In fact, in Eastern Europe Poles were generally viewed as a highly cultured nation.
So, I inquired among the U.S. natives about the origin of these. What I gathered was, that somewhere around the turn of the 19th/20th century many immigrants to America came from Polish countryside, village folks without much education, to work in American coal mines and steel mills and alike. Of course, they spoke no English, which was easily – and deliberately – interpreted by local morons as “stupidity”. I say, deliberately, since there has always been a bitter rivalry between various ethnic groups in the U.S. – all immigrant, of course, since everybody here is actually an immigrant, some came earlier, some later… Contrary to Hollywood propaganda, America has _never_ been a socially harmonious place, some magic “melting pot” or a “promised land” (depending on the phony movie script), but a cut-throat maze of rats in a competition for bare survival, an antithesis to noble human values and culture. Poor Poles simply got the short end of the stick with these jokes … which now stick (pun intended)…
I agree. The Polish people are a wonderful people.I’ve found them to be hardworking, kind, helpful, merciful, compassionate and deeply religious. These are Godly virtues, which today are considered “dumb” by many in our world.
But what else is new? in today’s societies right is wrong, and wrong is right.
And for anybody that might think I have some Polish blood/ancestors…I do not.
I do have a Polish friend that it’s the best person one can have as a friend.
My dad found someone’s PhD thesis mouldering away in a university library, which traced most of our ethnic jokes back to Rome and beyond.

Guest Post: How Putin Can Win The Economic War Against The West
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/18/2015 – 21:30
Russia must get aggressive in the economic war. You can win this economic contest in 24 months, if certain special zones in Russia simply are allowed to copy Swiss banking rules and regulations, as wealth will always flow to secure locations where taxes are low. You know what banking privacy and security did for Switzerland, it made a poor country with few natural resources the wealthiest nation in the world.

Here’s the link to the entire article posted on Zerohedge, originally on pravda.ru
http://english.pravda.ru/world/europe/17-03-2015/130048-putin_can_win_global_war-0/
Makes sense and shows how Russia can swiftly win the economic war in a big way.
Just do it, Vlad. It’s what Sochi was all about, and it’s what China would want you to do to change from a Western model.
Great idea from the author, Ron Holland
Ronald Holland is the author of several books as well as numerous special reports and hundreds of articles on finance, investments, history and politics. He speaks and moderates frequently at financial and free-market conferences and has developed Swiss oriented financial products in the US and Switzerland and his lived and worked in the US, Switzerland and Canada. He was head of a bank trust department, president of an investment firm licensed in 47 states and involved in resort real estate marketing and sales. He consults with a wide range of individuals, corporations and entities. Ron Holland can be reached at ron@haim.li

From that article:
“A low tax rate and friendly regulatory environment to attract European/American industry and money is a start. It appears Russia is now moving to offer economic citizenships and tax advantages in order to attract entrepreneurs as I wrote a couple of months ago and this will help.”
Oh, REALLY??? Fight neo-liberalism and Big Banks by doing EXACTLY what they have been doing for decades and what actually destroyed us? Give the rich more money?
Crazy. The craziest thing is that they are actually printing this nonsense, unless this is a western-owned paper.
Sorry, but I can’t take an article that suggests that Syria borders Iran seriously. That Zerohedge article does that.
A lot of interesting articles at Zero Hedge at the moment.

Well the time has come although I haven’t heard the French or German reaction. Putin must tell them that this war will not be confined to the Ukraine and anyone helping the fascists forces are fair game. The Corporate State of America wants small, ineffectual states that are easily exploited and this all around the globe. Globalization they called it even the professor’s. Not capitalist expansion or Imperialism. LIke neo-con that is fascist, neo-liberal, no such thing as class we all have equal rights under the law. Socialist-believe a person has a right to work, whether they pay union dues or not they should still get the benefits of collective bargaining. Individual rights count-there is no such thing as collective rights-that is communism which is the same as takfiri terrorism. Middle Class-everyone caters to the mythical middle that person in a contradictory class location they exploit their own and others labour they are usually small business owner’s that also hate unions. Wall Mart destroys more small business then any social movement in history. This class does not have the social power to change the social relations of capitalism indeed they reveal in the notion of free enterprize and the self made man it is the government and taxes for the welfare state that is ruining his life but although he hates the government he needs the government as he has no real social power. They need the government to give career’s to their children, professorships, law, the moral gatekeeper’s of society. Physician’s, their enemy is the working class and the poor whom they must support through their taxes. IN the fascists state they will take up their roles with enthusiasm and wash the dust of economic collapse off their hands-they are totally preoccupied with issues that do not matter. Working Class-the only class that has the power to bring and end to the Capitalist Social Order and institute a post capitalist society based on principles of egalitarianism, universal justice, freedom from want, access to social goods such as education housing medical care and work, Society will be rationally organized and democratically administered by the direct producer’s.
Administration will be carried out on a rotational basis individuals subject to instant recall if they do not follow agreed upon program.

This is of a piece with Hollande’s deranged pledge to close down ‘conspiracy theory web-sites’, in the name of fighting that Universal Evil, ‘antisemitism’. Google, like much of the Internet, is Jewish controlled and has co-operated for years with the NSA. The Bosses realise that their lying, hypocritical, biased and moronic MSM is now viewed by those of over room temperature (Celsius) IQs with utter contempt, so, as prelude to the globalist fascist tyranny absolutely bound to be imposed soon as the Exceptionalist Empire crumbles, they must utterly crush Thought Crime. Coming so soon after the nauseating Je Suis Charlie exercise in compulsory Groupthink, where vicious and talentless hatemongers were raised to the rank of demi-Gods in the name of absolute Freedom of Opinion, this is hypocrisy so extreme as to defeat the dictionary in search of an appropriate term to describe it. These are insanely evil bastards.

BRUSSELS, March 19. /TASS/. The heads of state and government of 28 EU countries are due to gather for a two-day summit in Brussels on Thursday to discuss whether it is necessary to extend economic sanctions against Russia.
The president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, will call on the EU to back the extension of anti-Russian sanctions until the Minsk agreements are fully implemented, a spokesperson for the EU foreign policy service told a briefing Wednesday.

Breaking:
In a heated tirade from Nuland to Lavrov on march 9, Nuland stated that not Obama, but Cheney was in charge of the US:
http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1844.htm
´Most astoundingly, though, of Secretary Nuland’s “rages”, this report says, was her reply to Minister Lavrov when asked by whose authority she was speaking, and to which she replied, “Cheney gives the orders here now, not Obama, and you assholes better get used to it!”´
If this is confirmed, it should be headline news.
Also, it would mean open subordination of Nuland, just like what Petreus did before he was fired, and Obama would not have no other option but to fire her (covering up this story does not seem an option anymore).
Bullshit disinfo site of the imaginary “Sorcha Faal” aka David something, a known intelligence asset. Completely useless.
I simply cannot understand.We’re supposed to be somewhat informed on this site but still, people post crap from dis-info sites like “Sorcha Faal” and even the slick as shit “Veterans Today”.Some people really need to re-calibrate their Bullshit detectors.
My 2 centavos

Fer instance, that article could have been titled: “Is O’Bamma haunted by the ghost of Biggus Dickus?”

Sorry for the confusion and disinformation!

Tip: if something seems too sensational, maybe that is because it has been sensationalized.
Take the main points from it and Google them, to see if any other outlets have the story. If it’s only blogs or sites with odd names, forget it.
These sort of sites, that peddle spurious disinfo to confuse people, and, crucially, discredit them if they are sucked in and then repeat the lies, are a Zionazi speciality. In the same territory, the ubiquitous evil of ‘antisemitism’, is now being utilised more and more as a smear and slander, and as a device to intimidate and silence, in numerous fields, including climate change, where I have seen Naomi Oreskes (herself of Jewish descent)accused of antisemitism over her expose’ of tobacco industry denialism and linking itself to climate change denial. And, of course, the wretched swine, Bernard-Henry Levy, accused all those ‘guilty’ of ‘anti-Americanism’ of being ‘antisemitic’ a few years ago, a truly revealing statement.
Another one of those awful, cheap disinfo sites. They post mind-blowing nonsense all the time.
A very interesting article at The Independent: The weird world of Boris Berezovsky: Alexander Litvinenko’s inquest has provided an intriguing insight into the dead tycoon. Although the author at one point tries expressly to deny it, at another point he comes close to admitting that the most likely explanation for Litvinienko’s death was a blackmail scheme against Berezovsky gone awry:
The inquiry has heard from several witnesses that Litvinenko and Berezovsky fell out in the summer before he died, though it is not entirely clear why. According to some, the dispute stemmed from a reduction, or even the severing, of Litvinenko’s stipend; others said that Litvinenko’s paid work for MI6 was a bone of contention. The quarrel, most agreed, was patched up well before Litvinenko’s death. But a recurrent theme of some testimony was that Litvinenko held a crucial secret: at least some of the death threats against Berezovsky, it was said, had been concocted for the sole purpose of obtaining UK asylum.
It is not necessary to “buy” this theory’s extension – that Litvinenko was preparing to blackmail Berezovsky – to feel that such knowledge could have given him a hold, and provided a less noble motive for his patronage.
When Litvinenko died I googled Polonium 210, for a little research. Can you imagine my surprise when the first sites appearing all mentioned that the first recorded instances of Po 210 poisoning were at Dimona, the secret Israeli nuke factory, back in the 50s or 60s. Weird, thought I. There you go, it was in 1957. Google the story yourself Po 210 poisoning Dimona. It’s very interesting. Remember too that the Mossad kidon death-squads kill without mercy, anyone who ‘gets in our way’, or anyone whose death would be advantageous to Israel’s Messianic ambitions. Of course Po 210 was found in Arafats belongings, where it could not have been accidentally. At first some French sayan claimed it was a ‘diagnostic agent’ from Arafat’s hospitalisation in France, a ludicrous lie, while at the same time Uri Avnery in the Israeli press was matter of factly reporting Sharon’s orders to Mossad to eliminate Arafat, a fact that the scum of the Western MSM dared not even report.
Putin addressed the 100,000 that gathered for the “We are together” celebration in Moscow of the reunion of Crimea with the RF:
http://rusvesna.su/news/1426694204
“Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the rally-concert “We Are Together”, held today in Moscow and on the anniversary of the reunification of the Crimea with Russia.
“Dear friends! Exactly one year ago, these days Russia and the Russian people showed remarkable composure and amazing patriotism and support Crimean Sevastopol.
We were all together, head and heart to understand and feel how important for us between the generations and times, as did much of our heroic ancestors for our country.
We realized that in regard to the Crimea it is not just about some areas – even strategically important – we are talking about millions of Russian people, our fellow citizens who need our help and support.
We understand how important this is to us. We realized that it is not just about the area, which we have enough. We are talking about the historical origins of the sources of our spirituality and statehood. It is about what makes us one people united and cohesive nation!
Dear friends! We are always in Russia have always believed that Russian and Ukrainian – are one people. I think so now.
Of course, extreme nationalism is always harmful and dangerous. I am sure that the Ukrainian people of Ukraine will still decent and objective assessment of the activities of those who brought the country to such a state to a state in which it is today.
For our part we will do everything to return to normal interstate relations.
And do we go forward. We will strengthen our statehood, strengthen our country. We will overcome the difficulties that we are so easy to create for themselves during the last time.
And of course we will overcome all the problems and difficulties that we are trying to throw outside. It is generally useless in regard to Russia.
Thank you for your support! Long live Russia! “
just some notes:EU proposing russian speaking media is obviously falling into a trap created by USA of diinformation war and being included and will be accused of deliberate destabilisation of foreign countries a la Nuland etc, whilst west is trying to get rid of RT,”establishing media aimed at the Russian-language speaking audience in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine and the EU countries”, re EU values etc

Unfortunately????
For a start this is in direct violation of Minsk, never mind the simple fact that they are attacking their own people. Then they go on to celebrate it on national TV, and show sadness that no rebels died?
Vile.
It seems Poroshenko is working with Romania to attack Transnistria and force it back into Moldova (which state Romania hopes to then annex to Romania BTW).Well the Transnistrians sent Poroshenko a letter telling him since he was so concerned about them returning to union with Moldova he should lead by example.And reunite Ukraine back with Russia.To show them the way its done.I doubt he liked that much.
http://fortruss.blogspot.com/2015/03/transnistrias-letter-to-poroshenko-in.html
Transdniester was part of the Soviet Union before 1939. Stalin had turned it into a separate Moldova republic to stress his claims on Romanian Moldova. But the population is rather similar to the adjacent Ukrainian area. So joining it to Ukraine is a rather logical solution.
The reason that Ukraine never has been enthusiastic about this solution is that north of Moldova there is a region with a Romanian speaking majority that might wish to join Romania. Another reason is that just that like in the Odessa region many speak Russian rather than Ukrainian.
My guess is that Washington feels some urge to get Moldova finally into the EU cq joined with Romania. Given the financial position of Ukraine they are now in a good position to pressure it to absorb Transdniester. However, the same financial situation – not to mention the war in the East – make it not very attractive for Transdniester to join Ukraine at the moment.
Moldova is a happy hunting-ground for the Israeli and Diaspora Jews who dominate the global human organ trafficking business. Nancy Scheper-Hughes, Professor of Medical Anthropology at Berkeley, who runs Organ Watch, and is the acknowledged expert in the field, noted that ‘Israel is at the top. Its has tentacles reaching out worldwide’. In a lecture given in 2008, Scheper-Hughes noted that the motivation for the trade was greed, but also, as stated by Israeli doctors and nurses involved ‘..revenge, restitution, reparation for the Holocaust. It’s kind of an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. We’re going to get every single kidney, liver and heart that we can. The world owes it to us’. And the lucky Moldovans apparently owe it to the Jews more than most. They are one of the lucky countries where, in Scheper-Hughes’ words, ‘…The sale of human organs and tissues requires that certain disadvantaged individuals, populations and even nations have been reduced to the role of ‘suppliers’. It is a scenario in which only certain bodies are broken, dismembered, fragmented, transported, processed, and sold in the interests of a more socially advantaged population… of receivers’.
Human organ trafficking has totally dropped off the Western MSM’s radar in recent years, yet more proof of Voltaire’s adage that you can judge who controls a society by noting who it is forbidden to criticise. And what’s the bet that the entrepreneurs of human dismemberment are at work in Banderastan.
Please get real.
The only body part that can be re-used from a long-dead person is BONE.
All organs need to be taken from a living person, or have blood circulation artificially maintained. If a donor has “the plug pulled” as soon as they die everything is turned on again, to keep the organs alive until removal; then they are good at most for 24 hours properly iced etc. You can’t chop out kidneys and lungs from dead bodies you find lying around on a battle field, dump them into crates, drive them around a few days without refrigeration and expect to be able to reuse them.
I don’t think Mulga said you could. The organs are taken from (very poor) living donors. Amazingly, it has even been reported in Bloomberg. (“Organ gangs force poor to sell kidneys for desperate Israelis”)
Incidentally, referring to Professor Scheper-Hughes’ work got me my first long period of “pre-moderation” on The Guardian’s ironically-named “Comment is Free” website. I made the mistake of mentioning that she was involved in making the case against the first person in the USA to be charged with organ-trafficking. The problem was that he was a Rabbi. Facts like that are definitely not sacred at The Guardian, and mentioning them makes you an antisemite in the eyes of their moderators.
(My second and on-going period on the naughty step wasn’t even for mentioning that someone was Jewish. I merely remarked to someone who had listed how many of the perpetrators of the Kiev putsch were Jewish that their post would not be on the website for long, as “polite society” only allowed people to be identified as Jewish in positive contexts.)
I know, kgbgb. On a small scale, it’s like when poor people have to sell their blood, to be able to buy a meal.
The only organs that can be live donated are those you have two of — kidneys, lungs, eyes, gonads. The last of these is never done (sperm or eggs may be extracted, is all). Eyes not needed, artificial lenses are too good now. Kidneys are the most in demand, and poor people do sometimes get taken to where one is removed (the bathtub of ice story is of course just an urban legend).
I just put this in because there were stories floating about organ stealing when a few mutilated bodies were found buried in Donbass.
In the US some years ago there was a big scandal when there was a sudden spike in a fairly rare bone cancer. It turned out the new victims had all received bone transplants (usually in reconstructing smashed limbs etc). Turned out the bone had been bought from a funeral director, who was stealing such useful parts form his clients, and this one had had bone cancer. He got most of the blame, not the bio-0tech company that bought without checking what it was buying.

“Russia is going to have to deal with chaotic, fratricidal wars on its borders and color-coded regime change turbulence in its capital. It will have to withstand reprisals from its trading partners, attacks on its currency and plots to eviscerate its (oil) revenues.
