Last week Gordon Duff, Senior Editor of Veterans Today delivered an Historic Keynote Speech at the International Conference on Combating Terrorism and Religious Extremism held in Damascus, Syria. This speech is sending shock-waves around the World.
Why is his speech Historic? For a number of vitally important reasons. This speech is the first time in history an American Intelligence Team of “non-activists” gave a military briefing to an audience of this type, including key Military Leaders of diverse Tribal Forces throughout Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, along with a Russian delegation and many others from around the world. Before this historic speech by Duff, no one has ever dared to speak the simple truth about the true problem, that it is not Terrorism in the Mideast, but it is the effects of large scale international Organized Crime. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2014/12/13/historic-speech-in-damascus-sends-shockwaves-around-the-world/ |

A small note about propaganda. I moved to the West in the late teens. Having grown in a family that was critical of the Soviet system, while living in the USSR, I grew pretty much immune to the social propaganda. In the West, I was surprised to discover that social propaganda is very much a part of everyday life, and is almost a copycat of the Soviet one. My propaganda immunity remained needed.  Take, for example, a passage from a Soviet song "Eh, how wonderful it is to live in a Soviet land", and the Norwegian mantra, often cited on the MSM pages that we live in the richest, most socially secure country in the world... When it comes to present-day Russian social propaganda, it is mainly saying that, yes, there are problems in Russia, but they can be overcome if people build strong families, bear children and adhere to Christianity. Christianity/religion (RF is a multi-religion state, so the balance is kept between the three major confessions) is used to the point of obvious indoctrination, even though Church and State are officially separated. Present-day political propaganda, is interesting to observe. Russia has a tendency to exaggerate the facts and their meaning/consequences, while keeping all of the logic connections and the context intact. Western political propaganda, on the other hand, twists the facts, often either taking them out of context or rearranging the context altogether to suite the need. |

To keep this thread on topic, I stared another thread and moved our discussion there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=894692.0
The situation in Novorossia: Ukrainian SBU (which HQ in Kiev is under US flag, btw) has clarified the situation concerning closing of Dniepropetrovsk, Harkov and Zaporozhje airports. They said it's because they are expanding the American Terrorist Oepration (ATO). Looks like witch hunts are starting there as well. Time for Zaporozhje Cossacks to one again write a rude letter to Sultan, this time Sultan Hussein Barak Obama.  |

I'd like to start a topic on Russia in general and the historical transformations that it suffered through. This is brought about by a discussion with iCEBREAKER that I had on Donetsk thread, but I also had similar discussions with people before. The discussion will be quoted below. The main theme is: Russia is not USSR. But you are welcome to post other questions, concerns, observations related to Russia and its policies, past and present. After the quote exchange below, I will make two separate posts. One covering the question of propaganda, and the other of my view on Russia as a victim of USSR. My reply: The Soviet-Georgian war was basically a continuation of the 1917 revolution (coup d'etat) that overthrew the government of Russia, continuation of the fight between Mensheviks and Bolsheviks for power. I don't see you complaining about the Western intervention into Russia during that time. Before the coup d'etat of 1917, Georgia was part of Russian Empire, which it entered on its own request seeking protection from Persia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_%28country%29#Georgia_in_the_Russian_EmpireWhen you write about the Soviet era, speak of Soviet army and not about "Russians" as is the want of the Western propaganda. So the "Soviet invasion of anything" is basically an invasion of the said "anything" (depending on the year) by Lithuania, Belarus, Estonia, Moldova, Georgia, Russia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, and the remaining of the 15 republics. You need to remember that RSFSR (that's how Russia was called back then) had little say in the running of USSR. The majority of the Soviet leaders and the members of polit-bureaux were from other republics than Russia. After Stalin's (Georgian national) death, the centre of political power and influence shifted to the Ukrainian Communist Party. In any case, when blaming USSR for something, don't forget to spread the blame, and not shift it onto Russians as it is dictated by your current political agenda. Now on to Georgian-Russian skirmish. Yes, it was in fact a minor skirmish, and not a war. Georgia invaded South Ossetia, where Russian peacekeepers were stationed. Said peacekeeping forces responded according to the prior agreements without requiring any additional mobilisation (as the case would be in a real war). Georgians (and among the offensive force there were quite a few Ukrainians that you see in the current extremist factions that took power in Ukraine) started shelling civilians. If Russia didn't interfere, you'd have the outcome that you see now in Novorossia. Once Russian forces drove Georgian army back to Tbilisi, they retreated, not staying/occupying Georgia (while this is standard military practise for USA: see Afghanistan, Iraq, etc). Which invalidates your last link/reference. There is no Russian intervention in Ukraine. If Russia interfered, you'd know that, because Russian military would be then seen in Kiev and beyond. As it is, because of the USA's pressure, Russia is staying out, only helping with humanitarian aid, and is helplessly watching the atrocities committed by US-backed Ukrainian nazis. While on the topic of Georgia, here is an interesting political analysis: Ukraine Part 6. Striking Geopolitical Similarities: Georgian War – Beijing2008 and Ukraine – Sochi2014 https://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2014/03/02/ukraine-part-6-striking-geopolitical-similarities-georgian-war-beijing2008-and-ukraine-sochi2014/The events in Ukraine are developing with such speed that I can’t write articles fast enough. Three days ago I said that I was planning a new article about the striking similarities of the situation during #Beijing2008 and #Sochi2014. As many would recall, during the Beijing Summer Games opening ceremony it became known that #Georgia in Caucasus had attacked a small breakaway republic of #SouthOssetia, killing in the process several Russian peacekeepers and shelling the sleeping city. #Russia responded and for four days there was something that Russia considered a small “peacekeeping operation” but what was dubbed dramatically in the West a “Georgia-Russian war.” Also, you mention 6 cases over the last century (including Soviet period). How about USA, with over 50 invasions all over the world just post-WWII. I am sure Bryant Coleman would oblige with an updated list, but here's one in his earlier posts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=725907.msg8828906#msg8828906Oh, and about welcoming NATO. Georgia started to be friendly with Russia again, even prosecuting the US protege and hardened criminal Saakashvili, which prompted NATO chief of command urgently fly there and push a few buttons, give a few threats. Yesterday, Uzbekistan and Russia made several economical and military agreements (and Russia completely wrote off Uzbeck debt). I wonder how long it will be before USA rushes there with a colour revolution. iCEBREAKER then wrote: when blaming USSR for something, don't forget to spread the blame, and not shift it onto Russians as it is dictated by your current political agenda.
Where I "spread the blame" isn't important. My "current political agenda" has nothing to so with this. What matters is where countries harmed by the Kremlin spread the blame. They spread it all over Red Square. It's no surprise their current political agenda is to join NATO as soon as possible, all of your Russplaining notwithstanding. And my reply: You know there are a lot of people who are tired of those damned Belgians. Belgians stopped the South Stream project by sabotaging it. Currently the Belgians are driving German economy to ruin. This damned Belgian Angela Merkel is not hearing her own business circles in Germany. Oh, and Belgian Francois Hollande, despite the French best interests, killed its ship-building industry. Yes, Belgians are evil. Many Europeans are spreading the blame all over Brussels now.
Oh, and show me countries that are newly rushing to join NATO, where either a colour revolution or a substantial buying off of the politicians by US was not needed first.
Your statement is exactly the reason why you should differentiate between Russia and Soviet Union. Under Soviet Union, Russia was an occupied country, itself a victim. During coup d'etat of 1917 Russia was essentially hijacked, anyone who resisted killed off (much like today in Ukraine - anyone against forced Westernasation now falls victim of lustration), and the state and its structure destroyed. Russia (RSFSR) had the least say in running of USSR, and its territories were treated as private property of the USSR leaders, to be given away at a whim (Novorossia, South Ossetia, Crimea). If USSR's capital were in Kiev, would you be blaming Ukrainians, and if in Tbilisi, would Georgians be the bad guys today?
With that I tried to show that blaming Russia/Russians for the deeds of USSR, just because the capital of USSR was in Moscow is the same as blaming Belgians for the crimes of EU, just because the EU HQ is in Brussels, but the message didn't get through. And if Putin had tits, he'd be Angela Merkel. So what?  Regardless, how I personally differentiate or do not differentiate "between Russia and Soviet Union" is not important. What is important is how the neighboring countries, oppressed by Russians from the Kremlin under both under Tsar and Bolshevik, differentiate or do not differentiate "between Russia and Soviet Union." Looking at this map... ...it is clear Russia's neighbors reject your putative differentiation as a 'distinction without a difference' and crave the safety of NATO membership and bases. So here is my final attempt to clarify: But it is important. First NATO = USA, based on financing and agenda. Most of the new bases are created through bribes and threats of the politicians in the host countries. We can have this conversation again in 5 years or less, when NATO countries will start jumping ship, and some of the newest countries will be going first... In the meantime: https://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2014/12/14/this-is-the-germany-i-recognize-anti-nato-pro-friendship-with-russia-demonstration/‘NATO was never what it was created for. After NATO lost its fake stated purpose in 1989, its true purpose was suddenly revealed: to promote USA’s hegemony over the world. We have no reason to stay as part of the union that so openly states its global goals.’ Now about the Tsar period. Whom did the Russian oppress then, pray? Russian imperial model was very much different from the British (who are the real masters of oppression. See: India). When a new country or territory joined Russian Empire, it did so on privileged position. The aristocracy of that country automatically became the aristocracy of the Russian court, with equal rights to the Russian aristocrats. And the peasants of the new territories were protected from migration from the original Russian territories - Russian peasants were prohibited from moving to the new territories. The relation were built upon trade. So yes, differentiating is very much important. As for the Soviet Union, remember that for half of its existence, the leader of USSR and his right-hand-man were Georgians (Stalin/Gzhugashvili and Beria); Shevarnadze, Soviet Foreign Minister of the later days was Georgian; Lithuanian and Ukrainian party tops had a very strong sway in the government, Ukrainians heading USSR for several periods. |

Looks like another false flag was being set-up, and again in the air: Allegedly, Russian military plane with disabled transponders came too close to a Danish commercial liner, endangering it. Russia denies having a plane near the area, let alone with its transponders off. http://tass.ru/politika/1645247Swedish SAS released a statement that the military plane was not close enough to be of any danger: http://www.gazeta.ru/social/news/2014/12/14/n_6742321.shtmlYet, Russian ambassadors were called on the carpet to Danish and Swedish Foreign ministries: http://www.bfm.ru/news/281538The end goal of this whole incident was to warm up hysteria in Europe and force EU back on the path of sanctions, as EU had been slacking up lately... |

EU decided not to impose new sanctions against Crimea: http://www.vz.ru/news/2014/12/15/720377.htmlHowever, that will do so during the week, once they polish some technicalities.  EU is actually acknowledging Crimea as a nation that made its decision, which is not compatible with EU/USA wishes. |

Ukraine continues to shoot itself in the head (as both feet are already shot to bits). Yatsenjuk insists on blocking all trade with the Customs Union, thereby incurring billion-dollar losses to the already-ravaged Ukrainian economy.
He's also pushing for the visa regime with Russia. There is a saying: "East-Ukraine works for Russia, while West-Ukraine works in Russia". This visa regime will primarily hit about 400.000 guest workers originating from West Ukraine and sending money into Ukrainian economy. Will EU take them?

EU cannot cope with "South Stream" going South, literally, so now they threaten Turkey that it will not be allowed... to join EU. Funny, that, according to some experts, EU is on the verge of desintegration should the Greece crisis go any further. The new gas pipeline through Greece may actually save EU, so EU by the current threat is continuing to shoot itself in the foot. http://ria.ru/world/20141214/1038200824.htmlUSA's list of countries in need of a colour revolution, countries that look out for their own interests is growing: Hungary, Finland, Tchekkia, Sebia, Austria, Turkey, China, India, Brazil... Oh, and it's already happening in Turkey, what a coincidence: http://www.vz.ru/news/2014/12/15/720372.htmlMeanwhile, in France, Russian Navy Infantry (equivalent to Navy Seals in US) have been stationed on the completed Mistral "Vladivostok" to prevent sabotage. Possibly after some of the Russian equipment got stolen from he ship earlier. |

The rubble is not doing very good as well.
Neither the currencies of other oil-producing countries, like Norway:  http://www.valutakurser.no/kursutvikling.php?valuta=USD&from=1406851200&until=1418515200Russia has a big gold and precious stone/metal buffer - it's enough to maintain it's current budget for 5-6 years (and the budget will, of course, not remain as it is today). In the words of Arthur Dent: "We'll see who rusts first". Plus this is a good kick in the butt for Russia to start rebuilding its industry and agruculture that got destroyed during the Wild 90's of the US-puppet Yeltsin's era and to become a producing country. Other countries that got hit by sanctions and came out better for it: China, Iran. |

You know there are a lot of people who are tired of those damned Belgians. Belgians stopped the South Stream project by sabotaging it. Currently the Belgians are driving German economy to ruin. This damned Belgian Angela Merkel is not hearing her own business circles in Germany. Oh, and Belgian Francois Hollande, despite the French best interests, killed its ship-building industry. Yes, Belgians are evil. Many Europeans are spreading the blame all over Brussels now.
Forget about them, Belgium is just another Ukraine-like artificial state. http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/2369Yeah, that too. But the point of my hyperbole with Belgians was to show the absurdity of blaming a nation for something that is done by a supra-national organisation that happens to have headquarters in your country. A passage from that article, which is very much applicable to Novorossia and Crimea, and how their national identity as part of the Russian nation determined what happened and what is happening: In his 1977 standard work Nations and States, Hugh Seton-Watson defined a state as a “legal and political organisation with the power to require obedience and loyalty from its citizens.” The word nation proved more difficult to define. Seton-Watson, its most eminent student, conceded that he was “unable to provide a definition which both covers all nations and excludes all communities that are not nations.” He proposed the following definition: “A community of people, whose members are bound together by a sense of solidarity, a common culture, a national consciousness.” This is, as Seton-Watson acknowledged, not a “scientific definition.” He added: “All that I can find to say is that a nation exists when a significant number of people in a community consider themselves to form a nation, or behave as if they formed one. It is not necessary that the whole of the population should so feel, or so behave, and it is not possible to lay down dogmatically a minimum percentage of a population which must be so affected. When a significant group holds this belief, it possesses ‘national consciousness.’” |

It seems that closing of airports of Dniepropetrovsk, Harkov and Zaporozhje and the airspace above them for civilian traffic is connected with US military transport planes landing there. 4 Herculeses loaded with sealed crates. http://novorossia.su/ru/node/10962http://www.gazeta.ru/social/news/2014/12/14/n_6741645.shtml Seems that USA have decided to turn Ukraine into Vietnam 2.0 and to go the path of hot war. And not even wait for the ratification of "Order 66" by Obama. Near Chuguev there were spotted about 50 fully-uniformed NATO soldiers from Poland, who reacted aggressively when locals tried to document their presence on mobile cameras.
https://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2014/12/11/ladas-geopolitical-primer-ukraine-as-heir-to-polands-cia-torture-prison-program-nuke-waste-shale-gas-gold/4. And the latest news: Ukraine has agreed to host a massive CIA torture prison. This happened as a result of Poland’s CIA torture prison scandal. After Poland had to close down their cozy CIA operation, Ukraine immediately jumped on the opportunity to make some ‘easy money.’
This is how the gruesome Ukrainian version of combining business with pleasure works:
The new CIA torture facility will house (or likely it already does) captured ISIS fighters and various ‘Islamic terrorists,’ well, according to CIA anyway. As part of the official announcement, this prison is also designed to confine and torture captured self-defence Novorossia/Donbass fighters as well as any anti-junta activists and critics.
At least in Poland they were embarrassed enough to keep the existence of such prison secret. In Ukraine they proudly and openly announce it.
The proper and soooo democratic, hypocrite EU elites insist on NOT noticing the mind-bogglingly flagrant abuses taking place daily in Ukraine. Why would they – they brought the present nazi junta to power, after all. In all fairness, they don’t notice the daily worldwide abuses of their biggest buddy, USA, either. |

The problem is not where nice Russian people put their beautiful country.
The problem is where the Kremlin puts the Russian Army.
....
These are only a few of the reasons why the countries in galdur's funny picture welcome NATO with open arms and great relief.
when blaming USSR for something, don't forget to spread the blame, and not shift it onto Russians as it is dictated by your current political agenda. Where I "spread the blame" isn't important.

We are at a turning point now. Again. Last turning point when EU was about to let up its stance on Ukraine, MH-17 happened. The regime of silence is working pretty well now, no shelling from Ukrainian positions for 5 days. For the first time since May women, children and elderly are not dying (about 5000 civilians have been killed so far, with about 15000 wounded). Now it all depends on USA. If Obama sings resolution 758 and starts shipping weapons to Ukraine, while the US Trojan horse states in EU (Poland, Lithuania) start to ship soldiers, then the point of no return will be reached and we'll be heading for WWIII. The only hope is that people in EU are still generally pretty well-off, so they might not wish to go and die for some obscure reason wrapped in a fuzzy, brown-black-red paper of Ukraine. I wrote before about the parallels with Start Wars: http://stanislavs.org/ukraine-events-resonating-with-half-life2-harry-potter-and-star-wars/Now, think about this "Resolution 758", and its similarities to "Order 66"... Here is another similarity: the growing impotence of the Galactic Senate during the course of the animated series though manipulations and scheming. We all remember how Nudelman (aka Nuland) called Poroshenko for "our man in Kiev". Now, this very same Poroshenko pushes a move in UN to strip Russia of its veto right in the Security Council. We all understand, of course, that it's the USA that is wishing to get rid of the last formal obstacle to total domination, making UN into a rubber-stamping machine. Does it sound familiar to the situation before WWII? http://lenta.ru/news/2014/12/13/theyarebadbad/Luckily there are a few Americans who see the game that is unfolding. As we see in the following article by Patrick J. Buchanan: http://www.theamericanconservative.com/buchanan/a-foreign-policy-of-russophobia/(and an article about it in Russian: http://ria.ru/world/20141213/1038073112.html ) Hopefully, Russians realize that our House of Representatives often passes thunderous resolutions to pander to special interests, which have no bearing on the thinking or actions of the U.S. government.
Last week, the House passed such a resolution 411-10. As ex-Rep. Ron Paul writes, House Resolution 758 is so “full of war propaganda that it rivals the rhetoric from the chilliest era of the Cold War.” H.R. 758 is a Russophobic rant full of falsehoods and steeped in superpower hypocrisy.
...
We seem to support every ethnic group that secedes from Russia, but no ethnic group that secedes from a successor state. This is rank Russophobia masquerading as democratic principle.
...
H.R. 758 charges Russia with an “invasion” of Crimea. But there was no air, land, or sea invasion. The Russians were already there by treaty and the reannexation of Crimea, which had belonged to Russia since Catherine the Great, was effected with no loss of life. Compare how Putin retrieved Crimea, with the way Lincoln retrieved the seceded states of the Confederacy—a four-year war in which 620,000 Americans perished.
...
H.R. 758 calls the President of Russia an “authoritarian” ruler of a corrupt regime that came to power through election fraud and rules by way of repression. Is this fair, just or wise? After all, Putin has twice the approval rating in Russia as President Obama does here, not to mention the approval rating of our Congress.
Damning Russian “aggression,” the House demands that Russia get out of Crimea, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and Transnistria, calls on Obama to end all military cooperation with Russia, impose “visa bans, targeted asset freezes, sectoral sanctions,” and send “lethal … defense articles” to Ukraine.
This is the sort of ultimatum that led to Pearl Harbor.
Why would a moral nation arm Ukraine to fight a longer and larger war with Russia that Kiev could not win, but that could end up costing the lives of ten of thousands more Ukrainians?
Those who produced this provocative resolution do not belong in charge of U.S. foreign policy, nor of America’s nuclear arsenal. We'll see in the coming days were the world will turn... In the meantime, here's more food for thought: American Tanks Roll Through Latvia; US Tests Lazer Weapon in Persian Gulf; Russian Graves desacrated in Australia; Open Season on Undesirables in Ukraine https://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2014/12/12/american-tanks-roll-through-latvia-us-tests-lazer-weapon-in-persian-gulf-russian-graves-desacrated-in-australia-open-season-on-undesirables-in-ukraine/ |

Lol broke countries need to make lies like this they so scared their own educated people leaving to rich places like norway Keep lying, we keep laughing An obvious troll is obvious. Someone jumps in without reading the topic to understand that it's started by someone who lived in Norway for most of his life, that the recent posters are Norwegians, that the cases are well-documented, that the alarms have been going off from Norwegian own human rights organisations, that international cases is just a small fraction of CPS transgressions (though they make the most noise). Oh, well, I hope for your sake that you don't have children, because you seem to be totally incapable of empathy. Our Western social services & co simply do not understand the nature of family love. ...
I would go a bit further there. It seems to me that the Western system has been systematically destroying the institute of family. In Norway it started happening after oil was found in the 70's and when the country over night became rich. A family is being attacked on subtle levels. Some examples: if a child lives with parents after it reaches 16, it is considered shameful - you "live at home" (as opposed to living on the street?). The state provides loans for children who move out (borteboerstipend) even if you move to a cellar apartment next street, thus economically enticing a split of the family. A child, after he is 18 is not legally considered part of the family - for example a wife can get medical info for her husband at a doctor's, but a woman would be denied getting similar information for her grown-up child. Banks make money of this drive to move children from their homes and to make them take loans to buy new housing. And as a result, elderly people end up being alone with children who only remember about their parents for Christmas and birthdays. Some include videos. The following two are worth looking at even if one cannot follow the dialogue. One understands most of what is going on anyway. Re the actual dialogue, I am useless, I understand only very few isolated words about things we knew already. Possibly somebody here is competent and has the time to give some more info about what they say? I noticed at Nemo1024 commented above on a Russian program, he might be Slavic-proficient?
Sorry, Czech is too far away from Russian to understand fluently, I can only make out a few words, much like understanding Dutch for a Norwegian. If it were Bulgarian or Serbian/Croatian, then it would be easier. Google translate gives a passable translation, though: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=cs&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ceskatelevize.cz%2Fct24%2Fdomaci%2F294938-vlada-ma-pozadat-norsko-o-vysvetleni-pripadu-odebranych-deti%2F&edit-text=&act=urlThe Kingdom of Norway should MEPs tell why the brothers remain in foster care when the original reason fell off. The House would like to know whether the Norwegian authorities are considering the possibility to entrust children to the care of their Czech relatives, foster parents or other Czech and why siblings remain in various foster homes |
