This short post is just to inform you of the latest developments in the war in the Ukraine.
Following the use of a tactical ballistic missile against Donetsk by the Ukies, Zakharchenko has declared that the ceasefire was basically over.
Strelkov has made an official appeal warning that according to this information the Ukies were massing troops in preparation for an attack. According to Strelkov, the Ukie plan is for a very short and very rapid “push” towards Donestk and the Russian border to make any Novorussian state non-viable and thus to negotiate from a position of force. True, Strelkov does have a record of exaggerating threats in order to minimize them, but this time there are some strong signs that his analysis is shared by the Russian military, and these signs are the most ominous signs of all.
Russian sources – including the excellent Colonel Cassad blog – report that the voentorg aid-spigot has been fully re-opened including for some major deliveries. While, of course, I am very happy that the Novorussian resistance is getting much needed equipment (and specialists), this kind of full reopening of the voentorg also indicates to me that the Russian intelligence services have concluded that an attack is very likely, possibly very soon.
I have been following the situation in Banderastan pretty closely and I can only say that the cracks in the regime are visible all over the place. Whether Poroshenko and his US master’s really believe that an attack can succeed (I doubt it) or whether they really want to force Russia into openly intervening (which I see as almost inevitable), the fact is that starting a major war might well be the only way to save the Poroshenko regime which currently is in free fall.
It is quite possible that Strelkov’s blunt warning and, even more so, the reopening of the voentorg will convince the Ukies that Russia is ready to intervene and that their attack will not be allowed to succeed. What concerns me is that the Poroshenko regime (and his CIA patrons) might decide that even a defeat at the hand of the Russian military is preferable to the current death spiral: not only can a war save the regime, a Russian intervention would finally make the AngloZionist dream come true. Putin will try his utmost to avoid falling into this trap, and that means that Russia will have to provide massive covert support and aid to Novorussia. As for the Novorussians, they have to be strong enough to stop the initial assault. If they succeed, then the offensive will be effectively dead. But Strelkov is right, if the Ukie break through the Novorussian lines, then Russia will have to intervene.
This is an extremely dangerous situation.

@ Julian: “As yet – I’m not sure what they’re doing? Russia needs to be talking about the importance of Gold in international finance vis-a-vis Russian oil & gas for instance. Are they doing this in international fora? I haven’t really noticed if they are.
Why not?????”
Because Russia has some $800 bio. in western banks being held hostage. you can’t just “get out”.
regardless of that, gold is worthless and would be utterly stupid, because it’s the big bad guys who own most of it anyway, so they would rig it even worse than what they’re already doing now.

“Allowing the Ukie’s to get stronger”
Upon what data do you base your assertion?

” Because NOW – it’s a zero-sum game!”
It has always been, but it is exceedingly difficult to convince others of anything to a level upon which they will act.
Smart strategy is to encourage situations in the experience of which others will convince themselves to a level upon which they will act; which takes time.
Congratulations on making the necessary journey.
The opponents have declared war on the biosphere, so likely a few others need to make the journey.
By the way Dostoyevsky died a while back, so its unlikely he’ll be included.
@ Tom Garrett
“..The one thing that would surely, almost more than anything else, doom the puppet gov’t in Kiev, would be the return home of a defeated and humiliated army…”
If they get the excuse to take on Russia, what happens to Kiev doesn’t matter — West wants Ukraine gone, if they can’t have it, then fully gone would do them. If they really wanted Kiev victorious,the could have supplied them arms.
The ceasefire? When they started the big drive west, I hoped along with everyone else they’d take Mariupol and maybe Odessa. But the ceasefire made sense — they could not have held them, They already had Mariupol once.
The ceasefire was needed, to give Novorossiya a chance to set up and consolidate the civil and civilian institutions. As a result they have schools, hospitals, shops, food distribution, regular humanitarian aid, electricity, gas, HEATING turned on while Ukraine is still cold. The battalions were controlled, the armaments brought in for repair, a chance to train more people instead of wasting the existing ones on small uncoordinated sorties.
The 80 Russian observers I am sure are observing a lot more than they officially do. Also a lot of Donbass refugees in Russia are being trained up, I am certain. It won’t be a “Russian invasion”,it will be “residents returning home”.
OSCE reports Ukie command posts near Mariupol regularly report seeing unmanned aerial vehicles buzzing over them — SOMEONE is watching what’s going on. There have been photos published of contrails left by them,so it’s not just imagination.
I just pray the preparations are enough.

10/22/2014 Ottawa Shooting SITREP [yesterday in review]
– At approximately 10:00 in the morning, a small group (believed to be between 2-3) of men opened fire on a soldier who was on guard at the base of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Monument next to Parliament Hill in downtown Ottawa
– a Few minutes later, a gun battle took place inside the Centre Block of Parliament. This battle was captured on video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYrMzh1960U
Prime Minister Harper and other party leaders were safely evacuated before this took place.
– At about 11:30, authorities confirmed one gunman shot dead inside Parliament
– For the rest of the day, the neighbourhoods near Parliament were on lockdown as police went door-to-door searching for one or two more suspects. In an interview yesterday afternoon after the attack, when asked if there were suspects at large, authorities only replied with “the investigation is still ongoing”. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson said last night “It appears there was just one shooter and that shooter is dead”. There has been no arrests as of 06:30 this morning.
– 24 year old Cpl. Nathan Cirillo of Hamilton, ON was the Forces reservist on guard at the Monument that was the sole casualty of the day. A handful of others sustained minor injuries
– The gunman killed was identified as Canadian-born Michael Zehaf-Bibeau. According to the news, he had a history with drugs and run-ins with the law before turning to Islam some time ago. He had his passport revoked and was most likely on a terror watchlist (unconfirmed). There are also reports of him having shown signs of mental instability.
– The politicians responded yesterday evening with the usual patriotic messages of “Canadians will not be intimidated” “we will strengthen our resolve”, etc. However, there were two interesting points that stood out. The first, by Justin Trudeau of the Liberal Party: “ And to our friends and fellow citizens in the Muslim community, Canadians know acts such as these committed in the name of Islam are an aberration of your faith. Mutual respect and admiration will help to prevent the influence of distorted ideological propaganda posing as religion.
The second, by Prime Minister Harper: ” But let there be no misunderstanding. We will not be intimidated. Canada will never be intimidated. In fact, this will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts and those of our national security agencies to take all necessary steps to identify and counter threats and keep Canada safe here at home, just as it will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts to work with our allies around the world and fight against the terrorist organizations who brutalize those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores. They will have no safe haven.
[continued]
– Media reaction: predictably, Canadian news agencies were all over this event. I was watching the CBC’s live stream for hours yesterday, and was listening intently for any fingers to be pointed before the investigation concluded as had been done in the US on 9/11, and there had been none. US media is also lapping up the event, treating the crisis as though it happened on their own soil.
Personal Thoughts
First, although they will not explicitly state it, it appears that authorities were taken completely by surprise by the attack. There is also no new information on whether this was a “homegrown terrorist cell” as they like to say, or whether this was plotted abroad. It is unlikely to be the latter considering the lack of “success” the attack had.
Second, in Harper’s address to the nation, he slipped in some unsettling statements (see quote above). What does this mean, moving forward? Will he increase the size and budgets of the security services, such as RCMP and CSIS? Will Canada join the US on more of their crusades in foreign lands? Will lawmakers enact a “Patriot Act” domestic surveillance apparatus similar to the USA? Time will tell over the next few months.
Having grown up in Ottawa, I took a personal interest in this event and watched it closely as it unfolded. Ottawa is a sleepy, safe community in which acts like this are completely unheard of and shook most of the city, and country, to the core, somewhat understandably. My social media feed has blown up to the max. The city reacted as though this was a 9/11 event, when at the end of the day there was only one death. I really don’t mean to trivialize the poor man’s death which is a tragedy but in my opinion yesterday’s events were overreacted to.
I want to leave this SITREP with this thought, as it kept running through my mind yesterday as I saw the onslaught of status updates. On Monday, there were 6 infant corpses found in a storage locker in Winnipeg, MB. On Tuesday, there was a woman brutally beaten to death on a bike path in Quebec for no apparent reason. Today, tomorrow, and Friday there will be murders of all kinds across the country. But yesterday, a grand total of one (1) army reservist, who knew the risks of joining this organization when he signed up, died and the uproar was deafening.
6 dead infants = business as usual, but when politicians fear for their lives, it’s time for Canadians to “strengthen our resolve”.
Is the world insane or am I being a heartless prick?
PS one anon pointed out yesterday that I had indicated in my early SITREP that Harper had been evacuated *before* the attack on the monument, which was a mistake. Harper had been evacuated after the attack on the monument, and before the battle inside Parliament. I apologize for the error, this was my first ever SITREP.

Lyashko apparently was taken prisoner by the NAF in Mariupol, but was bought and freed by an oligarch.
from colonel cassad
Потом правда выяснилось,что нашли повешенным другого человека, а Ляшко скоро объявился на ТВ и заявил, что в плен не попадал. А тут внезапно всплыли как бы подробности этого несостоявшегося плена. Да еще какие.
Наконец-то раскрыта тайна «пленения» главного пиар-аса Украины – Олега Ляшко, который идет на парламентские выборы под №1.
Сам нардеп отрицал и отрицает, что находился в руках «колорадов», но факты – вещь упрямая.
Напомню, что кандидата в президенты Ляшко захватили под Мариуполем 11 мая – сразу после того, как он расстрелял вместе в батальоном Азов жителей города, вышедших на празднование 9 мая. Информацию о захвате «героя» сразу же подтвердил тогдашний народный мэр Славянска Вячеслав Пономарев.
Инцидент произошел под Мариуполем, где ополченцы захватили не только самого Ляшко, но и вертолет, на котором тот собирался улететь из города. Понятно, что боялся ответственности за содеянное: по данным ополчения, 9 мая лидер РПЛ лично отдал приказ о расстреле всех «ватников» и «колорадов». Причем, в случае отказа от стрельбы в «сепаратистов», приказал расстреливать таких отказников. Увидев, в какой хаос превратилась «антитеррористическая операция» и после убийства в ходе боя заместителя командира батальона территориальной обороны Демиденко (который формально командовал батальоном в Мариуполе), сам Ляшко первый и свалил на своей машине из города.
На выезде каратель и был пойман ополченцами. Правда, плен был недолгим и уже через сутки Ляшко хвастался своей непобедимостью перед избирателями.
Что и как было на самом деле, каковы приключения «отвира» Ляшко в Мариуполе стало известно лишь сейчас – из свидетельских показаний одной из связных ополчения по прозвищу «Баба Наташа». Она и рассказала, как Олег Ляшко попал в плен к ДНРовцам.
Его лично задержал ополченец по прозвищу «Чечен». Этот боевик называет себя полевым генералом и руководителем мариупольского спецназа. Тогда известие о том, какая важная птица попала в силки, моментально разлетелась по всей Новороссии. Боевики говорили, что не станут спешить с казнью главного радикала, не станут пытать методами, которые еще гляди и смогли бы понравиться нетрадиционному политику. Возникла идея возить его в клетке и показывать всем на потеху, как вонючего, но забавного скунса. Но, по словам «Бабы Наташи», сразу вмешался какой-то влиятельный человек и в офис к главным ДНРовцам приехал гонец по прозвищу «Велосипедист». Через полчаса переговоров он увез перепуганного Ляшко – видимо, сменить памперсы. Женщина предполагает, что за освобождение радикала какой-то высокий покровитель отдал немало денег: называют суммы от 100 тысяч до полумилиона долларов.. Также в столице поговаривают, что выкупили «козака Ляжку» из плена структуры близкие к Ринату Ахметову
http://antifashist.com/item/ahmetov-vykupil-lyashko-iz-plena.html#ixzz3GuFQjLCN – цинк
PS. Еще одна характерная черта к образу “благодетеля Донбасса”. Так что весьма вероятно, что инфа о пленении Ляшко, которая весной была признана ошибочной, на самом деле была просто неполной. А все почему?
Народный депутат Олег Ляшко в эфире программы «Вопрос власти» телеканала «Донбасс», подконтрольного Ринату Ахметову, заявил: «Я думаю, что такие люди, как Ахметов, сегодня являются гарантами независимости украинского государства. Ведь они заинтересованы в продаже своих товаров на европейском и мировых рынках…».

The plan for kiev is to fail and have russia take ownership of the failed state. This can only be pushed by the EU and the US.
In the press they will scream russian invasion from the very minute ukie bombs drop in east ukraine.
Interesting snippet from a Cassad report from Oct 21
“..The main supplier of armoured vehicles to the front (in addition to the delivery of junk from Eastern Europe), is the Kharkov Malyshev plant, where they hastily restore drawn from the reserve tanks, working in shifts…”
Kharkov is one place the resistance is lying low waiting for reinforcements/rescue. Hmmmm….wonder how soon those tanks will break down?
Dear Saker,
Again, at the recent of sounding complacent, I think that Strelkov is being alarmist and that there is little serious danger of a renewed Ukrainian offensive before the spring. If the Ukrainians are planning such a desperate step, it would presumably be in order to prevent the DPR/LPR holding their elections on 2nd November 2014. Personally I don’t think it will happen. This is not the first time Strelkov has warned of a Ukrainian offensive, which has failed to take place.
As for the Voentorg, I repeat my view that the Russians temporarily closed it because they were worried that some NAF commanders were intending to exploit their victory at Donbas airport to launch a renewed offensive. That does not accord with Russian planning at this time, which is to let Ukraine fall apart internally over the course of the winter. Now that Zakharchenko seems to be consolidating his control that risk has passed, which is why the Voentorg has been reopened.
Best Wishes,
Alexander Mercouris
PS: And I endorse the view of others. Do not worry unduly about Website problems. We all encounter them. They get sorted out in the end.
Dear The Saker,
http://en.ria.ru/world/20141023/194479030/Donetsk-Forces-Plan-to-Retake-Slaviansk-Kramatorsk-Mariupol.html

What about George Soros point of view in the in The New York Reviews Of Books: In August the Ukies were winning the war, then the Russians were cluster bombing and thermobaric blasting Ukraine, which was specifically bad for the local militia from Dnepropetrovsk as their cellphones were easy targets.

The shortest distance between two point is a voentorg.
Neutral observer here. Turkey seems to be a quasi ally of Russia in this conflict despite their official hatred of Assad.
Let’s look at the Rada election polls adjusted for the large amount of people saying undecided and assuming that they are not saying “undecided” because they didn’t want to tell a stranger on the phone that they planned to vote for one of the surprisingly available “pro peace with Russia” blocs.
Poroshenko Bloc 37%
Lyashko Radicals 15%
Timoshenko Fatherland 8%
Yatsenuk National Front 7%
Other Nationalists 7%
Right Sector and Svoboda 0%
Tigipko (pro-Russian) 12%
Opposition (pro-Russian) 12%
If people in the east feel their ballots are not being observed, the 24% pro-Russian result could go as high as 30%. People have been a lot less afraid to speak their mind as summer turned to fall.
The above result as a breakdown of the Rada would allow Poroshenko to push through (if he wants)
1. Decentralization at least in terms of states being able to elect their own governors.
2. Sending the regular army back to barracks, especially after a defeat that shows the population that they will need to preserve the army for defense of the western provinces.
It’s possible that Poroshenko wants a major defeat to happen which can only be realized if his side tries a major suicide attack.
See how Military Maps says that wave after wave of right sector have been attacking the Donetsk Airport via the surface routes and disappearing from the face of the earth. That seems like Poroshenko resuming his previous efforts to eliminate those who threaten him most.
Debaltseve is a mystery. One has to assume the rebels don’t want to do to it, at least yet, what was done with the Illovaisk-Amvrosievsk pocket. Otherwise, this half pocket’s constant existence means that the USA has given the Ukrainian Army some really deadly weapons or personnel that nobody is talking about.
The Ukr checkpoint events on that highway north of Pervomaisk and south of Lisichansk were in an area the rebels have long said was theirs. Now they are saying the Ukr forces own the highway to Smeloe. Did the Cossacks lose that battle?
This forum is supposed to discuss that type of thing.
There was confusion about which Baxmutke (sic) was fought over. Was it the one on that highway section or was it the one by Novoaidar, the capture of which would surround Schastye, the hq of the Aidar Bn?
Military Maps and other Russian sites are either being coy and spreading dezo or they don’t really know what is happening or where now.
One needs more discussion of what’s happening on the ground on this blog.
Even to those who fully support the Ukr nationalist cause, the SNBO sites are notoriously innacurate and detail free.
How to start a war and lose an empire

@ Josh Cohen
The first Maidan was exuberant and accomplished a lot because it was generously funded, and its front line thugs had been trained and organized by the West.
I wouldn’t put too much hope on a purely spontaneous (un-funded) Maidan to get much done except being crushed. But I may be wrong.

Russia made a huge mistake, when they didn’t press on with the huge advantage they had. Instead they chased a fictitious cease-fire.
Ibrahim Samarrai who is known by the alias Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, works for the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and is financially supported by western secret services.
“Baghdadi should take off his mask and declare loudly and clearly that he is a CIA agent, that he has been recruited,” Kadyrov said on Tuesday, adding, “They (the ISIL militants) are Shaitans (devils) and their sole obsession is to grab as much money as they can lay hands on. They are acting on orders from the West and deliberately exterminating Muslims.”

@Kat Kan
Russia is in a very vulnerable position due to their dependence on oil and gas exports possibly more so than the countries that depend on those energy supplies. Any major disruption of Russian gas sales would devastate the Russian economy which is already weakened by sanctions and a slowing world economy.
Putin seems to want a buffer zone in eastern Ukraine but not an independent or especially a Socialist Peoples Republic which might then spread the wrong ideas back to Russia. He has already allowed the sacrifice of many lives and much destruction so there may be no change in his tactics as he plays both sides to get his desired results.
The real war for Russia is economic, relentless and long term while the people of Novorussia suffer the physical war caught between the Capitalists Powers.
We have reached a point in the history of false flag operations that whenever an attack like looks shady or too convenient to the government in charge, has to be immediately assumed to be a false flag.
The shooting in Ottawa (and possibly the previous apparently unrelated killing of a soldier a day or two before) has the hallmark of a con job.
This article examines how the narrative morphed from several different reports of 3 and even 4 shooters to the lone wolf:
http://www.sott.net/article/287783-Ottawa-under-attack-ISIS-assault-on-Canadian-capital-another-false-flag-terror-event
And this video you see two cops running into the building supposedly going after the shooter, and as soon as they think they are out of sight, they look at each other and laugh. The DO indeed laugh (starting at about 1:44. Is it normal for cops in such circumstances?

According to fortruss.blogspot the NAF has created a cauldron around Schastye, and if successful this opens the road to Kharkiv!
So, rather the AZs having the initiative, it may well be the opposite:-)
“..Now they are saying the Ukr forces own the highway to Smeloe. Did the Cossacks lose that battle? ..”
Sorry, people, I can’t remember every single source I see things in. But just a few days ago a cossack commander said his people are spread over half the northern front. Just waiting. Because they don’t know where the attack will come, so they don’t want to leave any openings. They are also working together with Bezler. So the armies there are not making individual decisions, but there is strategy going on.
Two weeks ago a train was filmed in Russia heading towards Luhansk, with 30 APCs on it, brand new, the guns not even attached, with helicopter escort. St George colours on the front, Russian flag on top, “Troop train” written on the side in huge lettering — in Ukrainian. There were reports a week ago of convoys, covered trucks and fuel tankers, crossing from or just crossed from, RF, in Novoazovsk.
The voentorg is well and truly open. To say nothing of how many might NOT have gone home when that huge exercise was finished, also just 2 weeks ago.
I also suspect the Kharkiv restoration of old tanks for Kiev will be a very sloppy job.
On the situation in Donetsk, there are numerous reports in the last few hours of Ukies using incendiary or phosphorus bombs, causing huge fires in parts of the city. But the NAF defense forces are ready. Take a look at this ribald interview with Givi and Motorola. Their fighting spirit is tremendous.

Kiev war crimes
By Stephen Lendman
Posted on October 23, 2014 by Stephen Lendman
Mounting evidence shows Kiev committed horrendous war crimes in southeastern Ukraine.
Dirty war continues on non-combatant men, women and children. Residential neighborhoods are bombed and shelled.
Banned chemical and other terror weapons are used. Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) member of parliament Miroslav Rudenko said:
“According to our soldiers’ information, the Ukrainian forces are using chemical ammunition on DPR territory.”
Soros and the CIA Now Banking on Neves to Defeat Rousseff
by Wayne Madsen
i was wondering how/why Silva finished 3rd on oct 5 brazil!
oct 26 this sunday is 2nd vote runoff.
http://www.voltairenet.org/article185699.html
However, thanks to an aware Brazilian investigative journalism press corps, Silva’s connections to Soros and his team of interventionists and hedge fund tycoons was exposed. With Brazilian voters wise to Silva’s puppet strings to Soros and other global bankers, she managed to only come in third on October 5. Silva subsequently endorsed Neves, Soros’s second selection to take over the reins of presidential power in Brazil from Rousseff.
@SG
First, although they will not explicitly state it, it appears that authorities were taken completely by surprise by the attack.
Either you watch too much TV or you’re a bald faced liar working for the PMO.
As we say, Ottawa is a great place, just a few minutes drive from Canada.
it is highly instructive to look at the video of the exchange between Kholo and the prankster-as-the-governor-of-the-people-of donetsk, in which Kholo smiles and laughs about the killed ones being a mere “trifle”, that he concedes to be of the AZs doing, i.e. himself included.
any msm publishing this out?
actually, the train coming to Luhansk from Russia carried 30apc and four tanks, all brand new, this was a week ago
In the absolutely critical interest of understanding the force behind the Anglo-Zionist Harper regime, here is the second part of an excellent French documentary entitled Oligarchy and Zionism.
Gilad Atzmon, Jacob Cohen, Alain Soral and Thiery Meyssan all make appearances in the highly recommended overview of the malevolent force that (in a different context) has captured the government of our beautiful country. As ever, the Harperites are determined to destroy the peaceful, tolerant and generous people of Canada and remake us in the image favoured by the Anglo-Zionist ghouls who pull his strings.
To my fellow Canadians, do not allow yourself to be terrorized into submission. All of this madness has a simple explanation and I hope instead of spending your time infront of a TV, allowing yourself to be assaulted, degraded and humiliated, you take the time to consider and understand the psychopathic force that is determined to wreck our beautiful homeland and enslave us all.
Only by active Resistance will history judge us a people deserving of our infinite God given blessings.

…The opinion of Ghost: if we are able to hold out for 2-3 days, the attack will choke up. No one in Ukrainian army wishes to die or to live a cripple. So, they will shoot from everything that can fire for a couple of days, and then they will advance. Time will tell how far they will go. But the fact is that the best team of Novorossiya is able to provide the Ukies with a five-day-long personal hell without even economizing the ammunition. Whether it is enough for Ukie warriors, once again, time will tell. My opinion is that it is more than enough…
parallel to what likely happened with the MH-17 A/C down investigation–what investigation?
http://sjlendman.blogspot.ca/2014/10/un-gaza-war-inquiry-hold-cheers.html
A previous article discussed UN Human Rights Council President Baudelaire Ndong Ella. In August, he announced the formation of an “independent, international commission of inquiry” into war crimes committed during Israel’s Operation Protective Edge.
International human rights law expert Professor William Schabas was appointed to chair a three-person panel. His special focus is genocide. It remains to be seen which side he’s on.
Israeli investigations whitewash high crimes too egregious to ignore. According to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights:
“Rather than uphold the rule of law, the Israeli investigative and judicial system is artfully manipulated to provide an illusion of investigative and judicial rigour, while systematically perpetuating pervasive impunity.”

He does not consider that in the great chess-board of human society, every single piece has a principle of motion of its own, altogether different from that which the legislature might choose to impress upon it.” ~ Adam Smith

Canadian Terror Wave a Modern-Day Gladio
http://landdestroyer.blogspot.ca/2014/10/canadian-terror-wave-modern-day-gladio.html
I began predicting Harper would take this route as soon as he won the 2011 election in a rigged vote — with the official support of just 24 percent of registered voters.
It was clear then, as it is today, that Harper achieved unrestricted control of the Canadian government in a fraudulent process that he would be unable to repeat in 2015/16 (because he was caught). With polls indicating he is guaranteed to lose the next election, Harper did the only thing a power mad dictator could do: he called upon his Israeli/Mossad handlers and had them engineer a Gladio type ‘event’ that would make him appear strong and decisive in contrast to the weak and confused looking man-boy Justin Trudeau, who is also a Zionist shill specifically pre selected to be Harper’s main opponent and vacuous foil by the Family Compact, a.k.a. Canadian Establishment, because he makes Harper look reassuring to the weak minded people easily manipulated by Oligarch and State controlled media.
Supporters of the NDP should take no comfort. After the unexpected ‘Orange Wave’ (colour of the official opposition NDP) in 2011, then leader Jack Layton
was likely shot by a cancer causing ice bullet, a la Hugo Chavez, ensuring that Rothschild tool Thomas Mulcair would succeed him and preserve the continuity of Anglo-Zionist control no matter what Canadians believed they were voting for in 2011.
Those of us who watched Mr. Layton raise the hopes of Canadians with a no bullshit campaign in 2011 were completely stunned to see him reappear just weeks after the hard fought campaign in an emaciated and half dead state. What happened to Victor Yushchenko in 1999 was a trifle by comparison.
Who said Canadian politics were boring?

u can bet with such a short timeline they will TRY to make this scam stick before then.

Just to give you an idea of how some Canadians are reacting to Operation Harper-Gladio, a man approached the Canadian PM, crossing the yellow line and shouting something, as the aforementioned criminal gangster PM was laying a wreath at the site of the attack.
Plenty of pictures of the arrest are available but supposedly no one in the media can tell us what the man was shouting at the PM (ha ha) as the media dog and pony show with dozens of cameras was fully underway.
Which means he was telling the PM that NO ONE IS BUYING YOUR FALSE FLAG BULLSHIT STEPHEN HARPER.

Please excuse all the Canada-centric commentary, if it bothers you for some inexplicable reason, but obviously everything is related to the Anglo-Zionists and their twisted game. As with the recent false flag in Australia, you can expect plenty more of the same in the weeks to come.
Meanwhile Harper will finally have the excuse he needs to turn Canada into a full blown police state, with a re run of the Canadian Patriot Act he’s been trying to implement and justify for 3 or more years.

“Allowing the Ukie’s to get stronger”
Upon what data do you base your assertion?”
I’m not sure what you are reading but the NAF has been saying for weeks that the junta is moving reinforcements and new tanks into the occupied areas near the front lines.And the article we are posting on also says they are massing for an offensive.Plus as I said I’m seen the videos and pictures of the troops they hold in reserve.Those don’t look like the ragtag frontline troops the NAF is facing now.I’m not sure if they will commit those troops.Or if they do how many of them, to this coming offensive.But they do certainly have them.

I have a question for Where-Wolf.
Why isn’t there any information or statement from the other soldier who wasn’t killed guarding the war memorial in Ottawa?
What did he do? Run away or try to help?
There is video footage of the shooting but nobody will probably get to see it.
Thanks.
Daniel
I hope Novorossia is prepared for the hell that is going to unleash!
From Canada: situation tense in Ottawa after the shooting. It is difficult to understand who is really behind it, it is possible also to think about some Gladio move to embarrass the opposition who voted against joining the fighting in Iraq/Syria, and to spread hate and fear against Muslims, Canadian Muslims.
Top Bioweapons Expert Speaks Out on Ebola
Washington’s Blog spoke with one of America’s leading experts on the dangers of research into deadly germs, Dr. Francis Boyle.
Dr. Boyle wrote the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, the American implementing legislation for the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention.
WASHINGTON’S BLOG: And Obama recently said – as quoted in the New York Times article – that he’s “curtailing” this type of defensive research, or putting it on hold.
Do you believe him?
DR. FRANCIS BOYLE: That’s the smoking gun, right there. Read that article [the New York Times article quoted above, which notes “a sudden change of heart by the Obama administration” about labs creating ever-deadlier versions of germs which are already lethal].
The reason they’ve stopped it is to cover themselves, I think, because they know that this type of work was behind the outbreak of the [Ebola] pandemic in West Africa.
But that’s an admission right there, de facto.
_ _ _
Dr. Boyle made it clear that he is not suggesting – as some others are – that Ebola was intentionally released into the African population. He says he has seen no evidence of intentional release. He’s speaking about an accidental release of germs from a biowarfare research lab.
He’s convinced, in fact, that this Ebola epidemic in Africa started with the release from a U.S. bioweapons lab in West Africa. One of the reasons for his conviction that the outbreak started with the release from a bioweapon lab is that this Ebola strain seems to be much worse than those previously seen in the wild.
As Dr. Boyle told us:
It seems to me that [the Ebola epidemic in West Africa] has U.S. biowarfare programs written all over it.

The article about Robles veteranstoday.com/2014/10/21/robles/
I find it very strange that a man like Robles who apparently has given so much service to RU in the info war should be completely ignored by the Ru government in his current difficult situation – normally it would be in the interest of RU (and in the interest of all of us) to support such an outspoken info warrior. So what am I missing here?
What the Ukies have is Polish mercenaries paid for by the USA. Some 500 but maybe double that have died already, But they won’t get more than another 1000 or so of those. The videos are propaganda items — they put in their own best first, expecting to win in 2 days. They’ll still be running on neo-nazi battalions, all bluster and no training, and conscripts or “forced volunteers” who are currently picketng the Rada to be demobbed because they’ve been in too long already.
NAF on the other hand was never ragtag, and they’ve been planning for this. Every civilian death brings them another 10 or 50 volunteers. The refugees in Russia have been trained. And equipped.
Yes they will go for Kharkiv. That is an easy target. Ukie expect Mariupol first, Kharkiv has been very quiet, only a token small Right sector band in Kharkiv because no locals protesting……because they decided to lie low and wait for the right moment. Once liberated they provide an extra force BEHIND the Ukies trying to hit Luhansk.
They may make a feint towards Mariupol to draw off some Ukies from Donetsk, which urgently needs rescuing, but they need to somehow get west of them to be able to do it.
A few saboteurs will have to take a risk and blow up the avgas dumps. The rest had better find that BUK they did NOT shoot down MH17 with. What planes do the have left? better not be any NATO ones used, Mr Putin won’t like that….but then they can’t complain HE is helping the other side.
OSCE only got their drones this week and won’t have any operational until Friday or Saturday, but there has been a LOT of drone activity in Mariupol area for 2 weeks or more (I have pictures of contrails from some)…. so someone (voentorg?)has eyes in the sky.
People might have been taught to hate the Novorussiyans. And brainwashed into believing they’re shooting up their own villages. But they’ll SEE the planes overhead and know it is NOT them doing it to themselves. Many who are afraid to say anything in public might feel safer in a secret polling booth. I pray.
“Today in Ukraine, according to our records, more then 2 thousand people have been arrested for disagreeing with authorities. Several thousand more are simply missing. Many people have been watched, then while travelling to a different town they go missing. SBU can arrest literally for liking a militia page in social networks, and for possession of newspaper ‘Novorossia’.”
“But the administrators of such foreign resources [Facebok?], according to him, willingly cooperate with the Ukrainian Intelligence Agency.”

I found fortruss a couple of days ago. I, who is neither Russian nor Ukrainian, have had plans to visit the country, but that is probably not a good idea. The country is a police state with US support, if this report is correct and I think it is.
This a long video conference between Mosgovoy of Novorossia, and several Ukrainian commanders, moderated or hosted by a journalist. In Russian.

Ichkerian General Munayev Gives Briefing on Fighting in Ukraine
CHECHNYA/RUSSIA/UKRAINE – The Chechen Combat Battalion “Djokhar Dudayev” (declared terrorists by Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov) which has been fighting against Russia backed separatists in the Ukraine, (see earlier RETWA reporting), says that it was formed in March 2014 right after Russia “occupied Crimea.” The unit was reportedly organized in Denmark and consists not only of Chechen, but Tatar, Ukrainians, Dagestani and Ingush fighters. As RETWA reported earlier, the “Battalion” is commanded by Ichkerian Brigadier General Isa Munayev. He fought against Russia in the first and second wars in Chechnya, and was seriously wounded in 2006.
Munayev held a press conference today in Odessa on the situation in the zone of fighting in Donbass and why his battalion is fighting there alongside the Ukrainian Army. He told his audience that Chechens have been fighting for their freedom for 400 years. Russia, he said, attacked Chechnya, then Georgia, and now the Ukraine. He warned that if forces fighting Russia show any weakness or withdraw, then the other side will push forward hard–and if Mariupol falls to Russia, then that will be the end of the Ukraine. Ukrainians, he said, will be “left homeless and without families.” (newsdaily.com.ua; 048.ua; Odessa-life.od.ua). Published 20:30

Brand new:
DPR major general Petrovksy aka “Bad Soldier” (in charge of intel and specops) has virtually declared war on Kiev. English subtitles
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st3MOrO3PmY
I come late to his discussion, so I won’t bother posting links, they’ve already been posted.
It’s obvious that if the Ukies are attacking it’s because they’ve been tricked into attacking. Let’s hope they send their baddest and final contingent. NAF commanders are ready to send them all to hell. A little bit of reverse cleansing.
Meanwhile it looks like the map is about to get redrawn – in favor of freedomn. And we don’t even have to wait until Spring?
And Soros is in the NYT goading EU to put up the money to pay the Ukie oligarchs and gas distributors through the winter, although he dresses it up as supplying materiel and acting tough. So that’s how that sorry tale comes to an end, with Europe paying thieves to steal from it.
As that Russian economist pointed out in that wonderful video post of Saker’s the other day, countries around the world have seen not only the futility of belonging to the empire’s financial system in hopes of getting a piece of it – those days are over – but also that there is one great nation prepared to challenge the system.
It’s no longer really an information war, it’s a hope war, and every good move on the ground that Russia makes – and it has made nothing but good moves lately – is a further boost of hope, courage and conviction to a world full of nations.
Naturally all the burghers in Lvov, Kiev etc who count upon easy progress of reverse flows of gas for winter do not for one second imagine that “bad things” can intervene to make life that bit more piquant over the brrrrrrr winter….
Your answer to “why no help for robles” is right in that article–pootin has done NOTHING in his 15 years to dissolve the complete monopoly they have over all the media there.
BTW, I just read somewhere that he for no reason released berezhovsky early, pardoned him, then let him leave russia for switzerland.
BUT article also claims he was actually as his time as a resident dual citizen the head of the russia security service, the same as beria was under stalin.
anyone know more of this?
Since last December’s merger of Voice of Russia and RIA Novosti under the new name Rossiya Segodnya, Robles has been demoted and finally fired – for no apparent reason. Either the Russian-media-embedded CIA or the Zio-oligarchs’ mobster minions have apparently decided that Robles’ truth-telling about their false flag operations is bad for business.
With regard to comments on the event in Ottawa. IMO it was a media drill in a run up to another greater event as described:

I think you’re confusing two seperate incidents. On Tuesday another attack on two soldiers claimed the life of one while the other escaped with injuries after a Canadian convert to Islam ran them over with his car. I believe there was only one soldier guarding the war memorial in yesterday’s incident but despite my ramblings I’ve avoided immersing myself in the official media. I’ve watched exactly one report, from PBS, on the events of yesterday. The rest of my information was derived online or from memory.
English subtitled interview with Ghost Brigade leader Alexei Mozgovoi.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBExdX_fcK0
He ends with a comment on Strelkov coming back. The meaning being if it starts up again, Strelkov will join as a rifleman to fight the nazis.
@ NotSoFast: “normally it would be in the interest of RU (and in the interest of all of us) to support such an outspoken info warrior. So what am I missing here?”
What you’re missing is that VT is a CIA-Outlet talking disinfo nonsense and should be avoided.

Mr. Berezhovsky is certainly now released.
The advice to exit Russia was communicated by his protege the football club owner and former governor, who shortly followed on, but not to Switzerland.
Perhaps part of the reason for subsequent tiffs.
Maybe you mean Uncle Misha, but the he escapes me.
As to reason perhaps your facilities are not sufficiently developed.

No one is asking you to tell us you name, address and social security number.
But if you can not take 5 minutes of your time to register an alias somewhere then your post is not worth reading. Anonymous posts here are just a jumble. You have no idea who said what. Some might have valuable info but who wants to read hundreds of Anonymous posts.
If you think people who want to know who posted what wont find out who you are, you are mistaken. Every tag on the Internet has your IP and a lot more. Google already knows who you are. With the time and IP they know where you live. Using Google maps they can find what your neighborhood looks like. Heck it gets a lot deeper than that. Like the NSA knows more about you than even you yourself. They know your likes, dislikes, habits, friends, what you do and when you do it.
Signing your name wont make any difference because your post wont even show up with the Spam filter. Heck there is even a box to enter any name and not leave it blank so you don’t even have to get an email address. Only thing I can think of why you are so lazy is because well you are and you just want to cause confusion and do hit and runs and hope it gets past the moderators.
Yes there are ways past letting them know who you are but it is very difficult to do. There are networks which work in letting you do things in private but those are like an entirely different world. You could use proxy servers to get past a lot of things. And there Anonymous posting would mean something, it is still not safe but it will work unless someone is actively tracking you. VPN’s work most of the time. But you have to check to make sure there are no leaks same as Tor. And we are not planning anything, we are exchanging real world information.
If that information is worth anything at all and you want others to think so as well, then act like it!

Where-wolf,
I’m from Canada and can hear what you are saying. I am suspicious regarding what happened in Ottawa the other day. We are being herded into fascism.
Please be careful with your posts as everything we say is being watched. The system is being arranged so that dessenters will be labelled as threats and repressed.
The Canada of peace and harmony never existed . Canada was created out of racism, subjugation of native people and imperialism. What is happening today is the ugly face of Canadian society being bared. White supremacy, militarism, fascism, imperialism are all openly practiced and promoted. Why do they support fascists in Ukraine and Israel? Because like is attracted to like.
Be careful.
