According to the international observers (especially the OSCE), most of the times the perpetrators behind these attacks were either the Ukrainian army, or the various neo-Nazi battalions affiliated to it. More than a hundred civilians in the DNR and LNR died in the artillery bombardment conducted by the junta forces in August. Is it a coincidence that every time such anti-Russian propaganda and absurdities start being posted here by some newbies, it marks a leading edge indicator that something nasty is about to happen in Novorossia? Some news from that front seem to indicate so: - Interior Ministry of DNR reported that the number of active Ukrainian sabotage groups on the territory of the Republic has increased. - And DNR reports that Kiev is concentrating more armoured forces on the borders of the republic. |

Thank you, XEPBAM, for bringing forth this excellent sample of anti-Russian propaganda, which utilises perversion and mis-representation of truth. Ukrainian & Crimean Tatar pushed out of schools in Russian-occupied Crimea 18 months after Russia invaded and annexed Crimea, not one class of the over 18 thousand children beginning school on Sept 1, will be with instruction in Ukrainian. Even in traditionally Crimean Tatar schools, students now study in either Crimean Tatar or Russian, with Russian predominating. The occupation regime’s education minister Natalya Goncharova claims that this is all determined by parental demand. Parents, and Crimean Tatar commentators speak of serious pressure on parents. Other methods are also being applied, including the lack of textbooks for children to study in Crimean Tatar. http://khpg.org/index.php?id=1441456761Let me first address two fragments, before I put this piece into a historical and statistical perspective. Even in traditionally Crimean Tatar schools, students now study in either Crimean Tatar or Russian Crimean Tatars have their own language - Tatar, which they study. Why would they want to study an artificial language, like Ukrainian, which Even Poroshenko has difficulties with and falls back to Russian off-camera? including the lack of textbooks for children to study in Crimean Tatar This contradicts the quote above. Do they study Tatar or do they not? Lack of textbooks does not logically preclude studying of the language. But the reason for lack of textbooks is quite obvious: during Ukrainian rule, Tatar was not an official language, and was not promoted by Ukraine. Now, on to the historical perspective. Despite 60 year of Ukrainian occupation, Crimea was never truly Ukrainian. NOT learning Ukrainian was one of the few silent protest forms that Crimeans had at their disposal. Anyone, who has lived any length of time in Crimea, can attest that it could go a long time between one heard Ukrainian speech in the streets of Crimea - and that came predominantly from Ukrainian tourists. So the following quote is true: education minister Natalya Goncharova claims that this is all determined by parental demand More so, Russian was and remains the majority language in Crimea, with Tatar being a minority, and Ukrainian being a minority of that. Still all three languages have official status. Under Ukrainian occupation that was not the case. Despite many requests, Kiev systematically denied Russian language the status of the official language in Crimea in their effort to forcefully Ukranise the peninsular. And finally take a look at the language distribution and statistics: The percentage of people, stating Russian as their mother tongue:  Support for Russian as an official state language:  Geography of requests done in Ukrainian language:  Regions that have local officially state status of Russian language. Can you see why Crimea sailed away, correlating this map with the previous ones?  Now compare this situation to that in Ukraine. Russian language is almost completely excluded from the schools in Ukraine, and ethnic Russian children are not given the right to learn the Russian language. Even in provinces such as Kharkov (where 90% of the population is not fluent in Ukrainian), Russian is under a de facto ban in the schools.
So true, Bryant, but Ukrainian overseas masters don't want to notice that. By their logic, if injustice is directed against Russians, then it's completely fine. |

I am still not convinced that Breivik was not a false-flag - he sits in prison, but get a royal treatment, and at times it feels like it's almost politically incorrect to say something against him... So that pastor might just be stage two of the bloody show.

Apparently the logic here is "If a wooden telephone pole cuts an airplane wing off in a ground test, then a jet ramming a building cannot cut the 14" steel beams." The right way to figure this is simply impact velocity and total momentum of impact, which is based on the ballistic coefficient. At time of impact of high velocity aluminum with a steel beam, the aluminum instantly turns to liquid and continues forward in the same direction. One example is waterjet cutters. High velocity water cuts steel, stone, etc. Analogy with the tree is false due to difference in impact velocities. Tree impact looks like at the most 100 mph, jets hitting skyscrapers more than four times that. Remember that each doubling of the speed quadruples the momentum..... I do remember that. However, your analogy to water jet is false as the aluminium, even if it got liquefied, would also become dispersed from contact with uneven surfaces - quite the opposite from a directed water jet. Also remember that the mass of the engines and the mass of the wingtips is different, with different thicness and breaking point : there would have been distortion and would not have gotten the perfect cartoon-cut-out, but rather a jumble of damage, even if your water-jet therory was right. http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=8714http://pilotsfor911truth.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=8764Someone rally should do an experiment - accelerate an airplane wing to 400 mph (or maybe slightly less - at that speed the airplane would have already been unstable at such a low altitude) and run it into a steel beam. And I love it when people do experiments. Here' some more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvQDFV1HINw |

Looks like Hungary is being punished with the influx of "migrants" by you-know-who for not towing the party line. Orban is heavily criticised by Germany and EU for protecting Hungarian interests and trying to keep "migrants" in check. Does this look like migrants? And how did this army turn up virtually in the centre of Europe en mass? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhLqUY1OZ_M |

Russian experts requested access to materials pertaining investigation of the shoot-down of Boeing in Ukraine, but were denied it.
That would put the Ukrainians as the main suspected. But why would the do it? Could it be some kind of mistake? Well, actually, it's the Dutch, who did the denying. As for Ukraine, they are still to release the ATC communication - both civilian and military. The civilian ones were seized by SBU right after the shoot-down and are kept classified too. Why would they do it? For that you need to understand one simple thing - Ukraine is an occupied state, controlled from across the ocean. Ukraine stopped doing what is good for Ukraine a long time ago. That shoot-down was not mistake - it was a premeditated false flag to sick the world onto Russia and to discredit the freedom fighters of Novorossia. But this false flag didn't go entirely as planned, so tracks need to be covered by the perpetrators. |

A previously highly-politicised by Ukraine murder case of two Crimean Tatars took an interesting turn. The accused is a Ukrainian citizen and the murder was committed on domestic grounds - over a woman. Even the Crimean Tatar extremist organisation Mjelis acknowledged it: http://www.vz.ru/news/2015/8/30/763999.htmlAlso in this news - 450 Crimean Tatars - a half of those who last year left Crimea under the influence of anti-Russian propaganda, have returned home and are being assisted in getting Russian citizenship. |

To a degree DNR seems to be better organised and viable as a state. It's quite natural that it's DNR that is claiming legacy to the Donetsk-Krivorozhje People's Republic of 1918. What is the point in having two separate republics? They should be merged in to one state, named the People's Republic of Donbass or the People's Republic of Novorussia. And if possible, this entity should be made a federal subject of Russia, with the status of a Republic. Right now, very few of the RF's republics are having a white nationality as the titular ethnic group (perhaps with the exception of Karelia, Mordovia, Udmurtia, Chuvashia, Mari El and Komi). You can ask that question... I have a feeling the LNR tops had other, more ulterior, motives when declaring a republic, than DNR. But everything's still in flux. It'll stabilise to the scenario you describe in 3-4 years' time. In DNR, at least, rouble is now the major currency since Ukraine started its economical blockade. Ukraine is pushing DNR closer back to Russia one step at a time.  |

Svoboda only has the support of around 10% to 15% of the Ukrainian citizens. Even if we add in Oleg Lyashko and his Radical Party, I really doubt whether the support will cross the 20% mark. With that sort of support, they will not be able to do anything. And indulging in violence any further will be suicidal for them.
As we saw with Poroshenko's (s)elections last year, percentage of support has nothing to do with who ends up in power... |

USA officially started a process to free Savchenko, the artillery markswoman, who is under arrest in Russia and stands accused of murder of two Russian journalists in Ukraine and of murdering a convoy of evacuating civilians.. US State Department stated that it's in the direct interests of the USA that this murderers walks free. http://vz.ru/society/2015/9/2/764568.htmlUSA is truly The Land of the Free (murderers). |

Does anyone still remember what the sanctions against Russia were all about? Correct. To punish it for the US-sponsored coup d'etat in Ukraine and to inhibit Russian economy for the US-choreographed civil war in Ukraine. And USA pushed through "moare sanctionz"! Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that those US sanctions will have a boomerang effect on the American economy. And that they will lead to destabilisation in international relations. (The latter in many cases is usually translated as "war") Here are the top 15 countries, whose economy suffers from those sanctions against Russia:  And EU suicidally joins the suicidal prolongation of the sanctions fest (or should I say, in festation?): http://www.gazeta.ru/business/news/2015/09/02/n_7544009.shtml?jhouhv |

Crimean Tatars launch a national television channel "Millet", which will be transmitted in Russia, Turkey, and worldwide. The thing is, this time it's the "wrong", not US-granted, Crimean Tatars doing the transmissions, so Ukraine already announced that they will be... umm... jamming the satellite signals. http://www.tvc.ru/news/show/id/75544 |

Also, a few thoughts come to mind:
1. According to the reports, this guardsman was shot through the heart. According to pictures, they were wearing bullet-proof vests. So either he was really unlucky with an entry angle, or the vests held the same " high standard", or there were snipers with high-powered rifles, just like in February 2014, when both law enforcement "Berkut" and protesters were gunned down by snipers.
2. It is too early to say who is behind this round of Maidan. Poroshenko promised to deal harshly with the protesters, probably remembering all too well that it's the same type of "protests" that put him into power after the legitimate president of Ukraine was removed in a coup last year.
3. Now that our attention is diverted to Kiev, will Poroshenko and his overseas masters launch a massive attack against the residents of Novorossia, which they were threatening with, promising to start it after the "Independence" Day?

Well, Maidan 2.0, as was expected last year, when the West used those Nazis as their tools to perform the coup in Ukraine... But what caught my attention is the quote above. the fact is, "Moscow" is not a part in any bargain at all, so there is nothing for it to hold. Moscow, brokered the ceasefire and is the only thing holding back US and their EU puppets from a wholesale genocide of the Russian population. In effect, Moscow is the same party in the conflict as a judge in a sparring match (probably not he best comparison, but still)... |

On immigration he's the only one calling for enforcing the current law and is getting better at drawing distinctions between people in the US illegally versus immigrants, which of course, everyone in the US is descended from.
Not really.   What is being done to Trump in US now? If the kind and amount of black PR against a presidential candidate that I observe now happened in Russian, that candidate would be guaranteed to have people's sympathy and top ratings. |
