And apropos arresting... The following news are from USA, but are still related to the topic of the "state owning your kid".

Astakhov's office reported that a female Russian citizen was arrested in USA for taking he daughter to Russia 2 years ago. Both mother and daughter are Russian citizens and USA did not have any objections to the girl going to Russia back then.

Now, after having arrested the mother as a hostage, the court of Illinois demands that the girl - a Russian citizen - is brought back to USA.

Astakhov's office and the Russian Foreign Ministry view American actions as utter lawlessness and will be giving full assistance to the kidnapped mother.

Quote
The BIG EVENT the West is silent about: Foiled Color Revolution in Kazakhstan on My 21!

Some might say: big deal, after all, what’s Kazakhstan? Much like Ukraine, Kazakhstan isn’t important by itself, but it is extremely important in connection with Russia and as part of the Russian support system. As we have discussed before (more on that in future Earth Shift Reports), Russia is The Great Global Balancer & Stabilizer. Therefore, we must analyze everything that happens around Russia from this perspective. This means that attack on Kazakhstan is an attack on Russia.

What happened:

While we all relaxed for the weekend, a full-scale color revolution against Nazarbayev was planned in Kazakhstan for May 21. Mass protests were pre-announced for May 20-21, weapons, subversive literature, money and alcohol were hidden in capital Astana and several major cities, where the explosion was supposed to happen simultaneously. A media and PR attack was prepared. Foreign fingerprints are very vivid. Soros, Endowment for Democracy and other US NGOs are implicated. Ukraine right sector’s hand was also in it.

The investigation is ongoing and arrests have been made.


I warned about this possibility in ESR1 reloaded: IS PUTIN PART OF NWO? IS ASTANA, KZ, A NEW NWO CAPITAL? In it I explained the reasons Nazarbayev had premature presidential elections, as well as why Belarus’ Lukashenko is acting so strangely.

A similarly volatile situation is developing along the entire perimeter of the Russian borders, especially all over Central Asia and Caucasus (of which I also warned since 2014). Russia and those Central Asian/Caucasus ex-Soviet republics that have joined, or are planning to join Eurasian Union, are bracing for the rolling color revolution avalanche. Recent events in Armenia and in Nagorno-Karabakh (between Azerbaijan and Armenia) were also manifestation of the same. The fires were extinguished due to a prompt interference by Russia. Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan are balancing on the brink. All this will intensify as more post-Soviet counties choose to get closer to Russia and/or join Eurasian Union.

There is another important reason the US is greatly intensifying its push for color revolutions. The reason is related to the TTIP and TPP push.

LOL They seem to be getting desperate. Their arguments would have more weight if so many economies in the eurozone weren't struggling under severe austerity and recession.

Remembering back to the rigged Scottish referendum, the main argument of the "together forever" was that if Scotland voted no, it would have difficult time getting back into EU.  Roll Eyes

I've visited Scotland a few weeks ago. Everywhere there are indications of how Scots are displease with being in GB.

Honestly, I'd like to see Medvedev and his government behind bars. But that won't happen anytime soon, Putin is too afraid of Medvedev and his neo-liberal sect.

The oligarchs and the mafia will be very happy if Medvedev replaces Putin. The former is not as much anti-oligarch as the latter, and enjoys good relations with many of the billionaires. Medvedev will be prefered over Putin by the Western leaders as well. He is mild, and doesn't have the aggressiveness which Putin possess.

I prefer the word determination.

From what I've seen of Putin's decision-making, aggressiveness is not the correct term. He prefers to find a diplomatic solution whenever possible. Unlike Medvedev, Putin is not a push-over. As for Medvedev, I don't yet see if he is maliciously soft-bodied, or if he is just of the same kind of easily-manipulated front-man as Obama.

Seen in the news:

The Uniat Christian priest Turchinovs says about the possibility of him starting of a full-out military operation (read: renewal of the genocide of the Russian population) in Donbass, and expects the West to deliver lethal weapons to Ukro-Nazis to kill off people in Donbass as Ukraine does not have enough weapons to do so:
http://lenta.ru/news/2016/05/30/s_pastorskim_vizitom/

EU commission says they will renew sanctions against Russia for Ukraine's failing to abide by the Minsk accord and for the civil war in Ukraine:
https://rns.online/economy/ES-dopuskaet-rasshirenie-sanktsii-protiv-Rossii-2016-05-30/

EDIT: flaring up of the war in Donbass is inevitable, and is the only way for the Kiev regime to divert the destructive energy of the Nazi punisher battalions from themselves. But that will only postpone the collapse. The only question is if the Obama's and Merkel's regimes will give further help to their Nazi allies in their bloody deeds.

The question should be: "Do you see emergence of Communism in human society ever?"

Because last century there sure was never a single instance of Communism. Even USSR, while officially striving towards Communism, remained the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The closest they came to Communism was what they had in Norway and Sweden until the Corporatism took over.

To counter-answer some of the comments in this thread.

Japan was weary of invading USSR after the lesson they were taught by Zhukov on Hahlin Gol in Mongolia. That victory was enough for USSR to not worry about Japan when Hitler invaded and to concentrate most of its forces in the Western direction. The neutrality pact was a formality

However, Soviet troops continued to fight in China during WWII and many were taken prisoner by the Japanese. The tortures and inhuman experiments that the Japanese conducted resulted after the war in a separate Khabarovsk Process over the Japanese war criminals (which is largely forgotten in  the West now).

USSR was preparing a land operation in Japan in 1945 - for USSR the war did not end on the 9th of May - large amount of troops and materials were quickly transported to the East. Additionally, according to the outcome of the February 1945 Yalta Conference, USSR was to declare war on Japan 2-3 months after the end of the war in Europe.  USSR declared war on the 8th of August - 3 months after the end of war in Europe (when USSR was ready to start the land operation), but that happened 2 days after USA dropped the first bomb and the they before they dropped the second one.

During May-August Soviet command moved over 400000 men, 7137 artillery units, 2119 tanks in addition to the troops already station at the Far East. USSR was ready to open 3 fronts against Japan.
http://web.archive.org/web/20101111025952/http://www.cgsc.edu/carl/resources/csi/glantz3/glantz3.asp

In this bombing and then subsequently blocking Japan's signing peace treaty with USSR, USA did everything to leave a festering geopolitical wound on the Eastern border of USSR. As it stands now, Japan is still de juro in a state of war with Russia.

The primary goal of the nuking (just like the American fire-bombing of Dresden) was to intimidate USSR (and to leave scorched earth if USSR did venture into those territories).

Nuclear bombing of Japan is to be viewed in conjunction with the recently declassified US nuclear targets in USSR:

An interesting analysis by Ishenko re Savchenko's future: She can either become forgotten, so as not to create problems for the Kiev junta; or she can be sent to somewhere in Lugansk, where there are few journalists and a lot of opportunities to be killed; or, most likely, she'll be murdered by the Kiev junta, framing it as if "the bad Putin did it".

And that'll be the last I am mentioning her...

An article from Free Press about Odessa becoming a Bandera city:
http://svpressa.ru/society/article/149532/?rss=1

It starts with:

Quote
Leadership of Odessa region (that is - Saakashvili) in the framework of the Law for decommunisation, renamed 51 street in Odessa, as well as several hundreds of streets in the settlements of the region. The street of Valentina Tereshkova (the first female cosmonaut) is now named Heroes of Krut (after a skirmish near the railway station in January 1918), the Avenue of Marshal Zhukov became name "Heavenly hundred" (after the victims of 2014 Maidan, shot down by snipers reporting to Saakashvili), Ostrovsky street (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolai_Ostrovsky) became the street of Ivan Mazepa (the traitor, who betrayed Peter I in favour of the invading Sweeds), Yaroslav Galan street (Ukrainian anti-fascist writer) became Roman Shukhevych street (supreme warlord of Bandera gangs).

The article goes on to arguing that the effect (as well as burning of people alive in Odessa Trade Union in 2014) is not something coming out of the blue and that the creeping Fascist ideology injection in Odessa started already in 1992.

East and Vest Ukraine have to leave in peace. That is my opinion. Before all this started I thought Ukraine and Ukranians is friendly country, little brother, and we dreamed to go there with mother to see Kiev and Odessa. And now we r scared to go there, cause of who knows how they will accept us.

There will be no peace as long as East and West Ukraine is artificially glued together. East Ukraine must be merged with Russia, and the Western part must be given to Poland. Ukraine is heavily dependent on subsidies and funds from the other nations (earlier it used to come from Russia, and now European Union has replaced the Russians). It is not capable of existing on its own.

I have to disagree with you there, Bryant. Novorossia and Malorossia are fully-capable sustaining themselves. In USSR, a lot of industrial output came from Novorossia (Donbass), they also have a lot of highly-fertile land. After USSR desintegrated, Ukraine was 7th strongest industrialised country in the world (if memory serves me right). They managed to squander it all over 25+ years, at the same time creating the new oligarchic "elites", which expect that everything is given to them, and they can only plunder but not create.

That is the real problem.

Btw, EU has not replaced Russia, neither did IMF money materialised, and that is the reason Ukraine's economy is in a free-dive.

Tanic, alas Odessa turned into a Banderite stronghold under Saakashvili. From the reports I get from there, nothing is left of the charming, easy-going atmosphere of the city, that I visited about 5 years ago. The residents of Odessa live in fear. Now won't be the time to visit either Odessa or the rest of former Ukraine. Wait 4-5 years, till after the worst period of lawlessness is behind.



Regarding Savchenko. She's already started becoming a pain for Porky and the rest of Ukro-band. She turned up bearfoot in the Rada (while being on trial for murder of the Russian journalists, she was "elected" in absentia as deputy of the Ukrainian Rada and deputy of the European Parliament), made some loud statement and then during a press-conference graciously agreed to be selected as the next president of Ukraine.  Roll Eyes

I seen the article earlier today, she seems to have some psychopath tendencies to me, and that she wants very much to be a man.
More likely she is a lesbian.

I guess Putin will have said to the families, well at least your children never died in vain, plus we got two people who may have ended up dead in jail.

Also watching that video again gave me the shudders, to think they took cover and what seemed to be a safe distance away.


That she does seem to have...
Putin also averted another possible scenario: think if Savchenko was killed in a Russian prison with the goal of demonising Russia even further (a kind of a repeat of the scenario when that minor opposition politician was killed near Kremlin last year). By exchanging her, Putin deprives her of the possible "martyr" status in the eyes of the West.

EDIT: I actually wrote the above scenario before reading the report further down.



The same that happened in Bosnia in 1992-1995 and in Serbia in 1999 is happening in Ukraine right now and the west has started it all again.

There is one significant difference: back then in the 90s Russia was incapacitated...



Lada Ray Report: Real Reason Putin Pardoned Murderer Nadezhda Savchenko
https://futuristrendcast.wordpress.com/2016/05/26/the-real-reason-putin-pardoned-murderer-nadezhda-savchenko/

Quote
Background

Nadezhda Savchenko is a Ukrainian subversive operative and member of the ukro-nazi battalion Aidar. For some incomprehensible reason she is often referred to as ‘pilot,’ which is false since she had never flown a single mission anywhere. The ‘pilot’ title is clearly attached to her to give her more weight. Those who knew her report that she always had sadistic tendencies and enjoyed torturing prisoners.

Savchenko was captured after she subversively and knowingly directed the fire of Ukraine artillery to the territory of DNR, which killed two accredited Russian journalists. She is also accused of directing Ukraine fire against a large crowd of unarmed refugees, many of whom were killed. Savchenko was tried and received 25 years in Russian prison. The Russian trial was accompanied by unprecedented pressure on Russia by the West and the pogroms of the Russian embassy and consulates in Ukraine.

During her trial Savchenko behaved like a crazed maniac, screaming out profanities, showing rude gestures to the judges, jumping up and down chairs. Her ‘support club’ made a lot of noise during court sessions, waving Ukrainian flags and screaming ukro-nazi slogans. All this was in Moscow, which, as we may conclude, is the most liberal and forgiving city in the world, located in the most democratic country in the world.

I can only imagine what would happen to Savchenko and her bouncing of the wall supporters if they tried such stunts in a US court. Savchenko would have never seen the light of day again, and said supporters would be in jail before they could say ‘oops.’

Certainly, none of this would have been possible in Ukraine at all. If anyone ever dared to publicly support during their Kiev trial the two Russians, Erofeev and Alexandrov, who ended up being exchanged for Savchenko, they would simply be tortured and killed. That’s exactly what happened to the lawyer representing one of the Russians. A well-known Ukrainian lawyer Yury Grabovsky, originally from Odessa, was defending Alexander Alexandrov. According to testimonials, he managed to make a pretty good case against conviction. While Grabovsky was there, junta simply could not seal the case against the two Russians.

Incidentally, these two Russians were kidnapped by Ukraine subversives inside DNR territory, dragged across the border to the Ukrainian side and put on trial.

How lawyer Yury Grabovsky was killed by Kiev ukro-nazis

Grabovsky, who was too successful in proving the charges of terrorism to be bogus, was kidnapped, tortured and killed. His only crime was doing his job as a public defender. When he didn’t show for trial, his friends became suspicious. To confuse the investigation Grabovsky’s killers for two weeks made bogus entries into Grabovsky’s Facebook page. In these entries, Grabovsky supposedly wrote that he was tired and that he was leaving abroad on vacation. Two things rose red flags: the fact that he was due in court and the uncharacteristically illiterate style of writing.

Grabovsky’s body was found over two weeks after his disappearance. It was dumped in an abandoned orchard very far from Kiev, where the Russians’ trial was taking place. Ukro-nazi thugs responsible for his death published his video admission, extracted under torture. In it, bloody, confused and, apparently, in much pain Grabovsky is made to repeat after the invisible man, whose voice sounds very young – no more than 20 or so. This young man forces Grabovsky to say that he was wrong to defend the ‘Russian terrorist,’ that he asks for forgiveness and that he won’t do it again.

Murderess of the two Russian journalists, as well as of a score of Donbass civilians, Savchenko, who is an ardent Nazi to boot, has been exchanged today for two Russian officers, held in by SBU:

https://lenta.ru/articles/2016/05/25/toomuchwords/

The title of the article is a by a politician comment - "It's a pity we are letting go this bandera terrorist"

Putin had a meeting with the families of the killed journalists (I view it almost as a personal apology from the President to them).

In a way, Ukraine is getting a ticking time bomb in her - they've been making a martyr and a hero out of her, now they'll have to contain her.

It was really interesting to read your opinions guys. I live in Russia and don't think our government wants to make new USSR or North Korea. No, just they want to grab money from other Russians. Believe me, salary in my town is 100 Euro per month and they just creating new and new taxes to we pay and this money go for material support of Syria or Crimea or who knows there. Just to show to the world "look, we r such good guys'. But they will take the last pants from us, citizens, soon. Please don't judge life in Russia by Moscow. Real Russia starts out of borders of Moscow. So US and EU, just stay us alone and we will die ourselves from the inside.

If it's any consolation for you, the taxing situation is the same in all countries. For example here in Norway you get an income tax of up to 50%, 25% VAT on goods or 12% on food, yearly "import" tax on your car, however old it is. You pay student loan (over 20+ years after your are done studying), car loan, mortgage, etc - you live on borrowed time and money. It's better to look not at how much your earn per month, but at how much is left after taxes and basic spendings. Here you get about 10-15% to set aside if you are lucky.

As for Crimea and Syria. It has nothing to do with "showing off to the world" as you put it. If anything, it only leads to more Russia-bashing here. It's a strategic goal. Syria is a "close approach" to the Russian border from South-East. Crimea has been Russian for centuries and is a key to Russian mainland from the same direction. Following your logic, Russia can just start giving away its lands staring with St Petersburg and to Siberia until there's not Russia left.

As for you dying from the inside.... You/we didn't manage to do it active help in the 90s. We didn't do it during the last millennium, we'll persevere, tough you are right that at times it was "despite the government" and not "thanks to the government".

I hope Medvedev will pack the shit and move to North Korea, there, it will be much easier for him to brainwash old ladies and young idiots.

I guess his plan is to turn Russia into a new larger North Korea, and he's not far from success. He hasn't understood yet that the world where Russia was controlling everything and everyone inside its borders is crashing down. BTC is reorganizing the world, and the more centralized countries will see the biggest changes.

It's quite funny seeing such characterisations of Medvedev here. After all, he spearheads the liberal (used as a swearword) faction of the Russian government, oriented towards West and globalisation. And the initiative to ban Bitcoin comes from the Russian Central Bank - a private organisation, just like any CB, with ties to the Wall Street and London financial sector.

Any bad publicity Medvedev gets is good, so, please, carry on.  Grin

The only reason Putin didn't dismiss the government of Medvedev is because he does not want to create political instability in the country at these critical times.

Russian is emerging as a new world leader.
Of what exactly?

Their economy is on it's knees.  They might be in the right about Syria (might) but the oil price has ruined them.
They aren't the military force people think they are.  They have poor human rights records.  Would you choose to live in Russia instead of say the UK or Germany?

That is off topic, but let me chime in. Russian economy seems to have adapted to the current oil prices, and besides US won't be able to hold them down for much longer without hurting themselves and their vassals.
Human rights record is far better than in the US (except the Wild 90s, when the situation was dire under the watchful American eye).
Russia never - repeat, never - aspired to be a dominant military force. It's always been on the defence. You'll know when the Russian defensive force will be inadequate - that'll be the day when US invades Russia and starts WWIII. So far, though, the parity of force is maintained.

Being world leader doe not mean having a super military, which scares the world into submission. It means being a fair and diplomatic player in world affairs and trades, and leading by example.



I find the altitude quoted, 11000 meters, to be curious.  That's jet cruise altitude.  It's not typical of surveillance flights.  Also, the aircraft was obviously on a standard route, or the other planes would not have had to have been diverted.

You are right 10000 to 12000 is a typical long-distance corridor altitude.
The surveillance flights would normally hold higher to have more coverage. But given that the airplane was flying with a disable transponder and didn't respond to the ATC calls, it is safe to assume that it was a military flight. As to what purpose it had... Anything from a routine military flight of the type "I fly wherever I want" to a planned provocation (akin to KAL-007 that was shot down off the coast of Japan)
