Vladimir Putin urged to establish humanitarian corridors in Donbas region
Russian President Vladimir Putin urged Wednesday to establish humanitarian corridors in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region and to send workers to rebuild infrastructure in the war-ravaged areas.

During his visit to Mongolia Wednesday, Putin unveiled his seven-point peace plan for Ukraine.

"Humanitarian cordons should be opened to allow the movement of refugees and delivery of humanitarian cargo to cities and other settlements in Donbas," the Russian president said. "It should be possible to send teams of workers to the affected regions of Donbas in order to rebuild objects of vital and social infrastructure and to assist in preparations for the winter season."

In August, Russia delivered about 2,000 tons of humanitarian aid to the conflict-torn regions of Ukraine.

Comment: Russia continues to lend a helping hand, and not only with the situation in Ukraine:

- Russian Air Force plane to deliver aid cargo to flood-hit Serbia
- While US and the West defame Putin, Russia quietly helps others and delivers a regular shipment of relief aid for Serbia's flood-stricken regions

President of Mongolia Tsakhia Elbegdorj said on Wednesday that his country proposed Russia to consider a possibility of stretching a natural gas pipeline across the Mongolian territory.

"I have described the advantages of stretching a pipeline across the territory of Mongolia," Elbegdorj said following his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is currently on an official visit to Mongolia.

Rosneft's interest

Russia's major oil company Rosneft intends to expand its presence on the Mongolian market, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday.

Rosneft "meets most of the country's oil product demand, supplies Genghis Khan International Airport in Ulan Bator and has major plans for expanding its presence on the Mongolian market," Putin said.

Putin added that during negotiations the sides agreed to strengthen interaction in the air transport sphere. "The Protocol on co-operation in the sphere of civil aviation and Memorandum on the expansion of the air route network of Russia's Aeroflot carrier and Mongolia Airlines will contribute to this," he said.

ISIS knows no bounds, threatens Putin, Caliphate in Chechnya

Image
ISIS threats, it would appear, are not limited to President Obama and his American allies. RIA is reporting that Russian leaders are seeking to cut access to an ISIS video posted that threatens Putin (for ties to Assad), and plans to liberate (via Caliphate) Chechnya, and calls the Chechnyan leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, a Putin puppet. The Chechnya leader took to Instagram to respond slamming "these bastards have no relation to Islam," and exclaiming if they try to threaten Russia or Chechnya "you will be destroyed."

Via Memri,

Vladimir Putin was directly and personally threatened by extremist Islamic terror group ISIS because of his close ties to Syrian leader Bashar Hafez al-Assad, and will liberate Chechnya and Caucasus...


Comment: The Islamic State knows no bounds. The fear mongering is at fever pitch. But this should've been obvious. It was only a matter of time before the U.S.'s creation started threatening the U.S.'s enemies. Funny how they always tend to do that, no?

Pepe Escobar: NATO attacks and yet the real deal is the SCO summit

First thing we do, let's kill all the myths. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is nothing but the Security Council of the Empire of Chaos.

You don't need to be a neo-Foucault hooked on Orwellian/Panopticon practices to admire the hyper-democratic "ring of steel" crossing average roads, parks and even ringing castle walls to "protect" dozens of NATO heads of state and ministers, 10,000 supporting characters and 2,000 journalists from the real world in Newport, Wales - and beyond.

NATO's summit in Wales also provides outgoing secretary-general Anders "Fogh of War" Rasmussen the chance to display his fullattack dog repertoire. It's as if he's auditioning for a starring role in a remake of Tim Burton's epic Mars Attacks!

Fogh of War is all over the place, talking "pre-positioning of supplies, equipment" - euphemism for weapons; boosting bases and headquarters in host countries; and touting a 10,000-strong, rapid reaction "spearhead" force to respond to Russian "aggression" and deployable in a maximum of five days.

Meanwhile, in a bad cop-bad cop routine, outgoing president of the European Commission, outstanding mediocrity Jose Manuel Barroso, leaked that Russian President Vladimir Putin told him over the phone later last week he could take Kiev in a fortnight if he wanted.

Common sense: 7-step plan proposed by Putin to stop hostilities in E. Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin
Kiev must withdraw troops from southeastern regions of Ukraine and rebels must stop offensive to stop bloodshed, Russia's President Vladimir Putin says. He and Ukrainian leader Petro Poroshenko discussed "a ceasefire regime."

President Putin has outlined a seven-point plan to stabilize the situation in the crisis-torn east of Ukraine.

"On my way here from [the city of] Blagoveschensk to Ulan-Bator [Mongolia], I outlined some ideas and plan of actions. It's here, but in handwriting," Putin told reporters.

Comment: This may seem like wishful thinking on Putin's part but there is no one else stepping up to the plate to resolve the Ukraine crises and the killing of civilians.

Council on Foreign Relations: Give money directly to the people

"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing, after they've tried everything else." - Winston Churchill

When an article appears in Foreign Affairs, the mouthpiece of the policy-setting Council on Foreign Relations, recommending that the Federal Reserve do a money drop directly on the 99%, you know the central bank must be down to its last bullet.

The September/October issue of Foreign Affairs features an article by Mark Blyth and Eric Lonergan titled "Print Less But Transfer More: Why Central Banks Should Give Money Directly To The People." It's the sort of thing normally heard only from money reformers and Social Credit enthusiasts far from the mainstream. What's going on?

The Fed, it seems, has finally run out of other ammo. It has to taper its quantitative easing program, which is eating up the Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities needed as collateral for the repo market that is the engine of the bankers' shell game. The Fed's Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP) has also done serious collateral damage. The banks that get the money just put it in interest-bearing Federal Reserve accounts or buy foreign debt or speculate with it; and the profits go back to the 1%, who park it offshore to avoid taxes. Worse, any increase in the money supply from increased borrowing increases the overall debt burden and compounding finance costs, which are already a major constraint on economic growth.

Meanwhile, the economy continues to teeter on the edge of deflation. The Fed needs to pump up the money supply and stimulate demand in some other way. All else having failed, it is reduced to trying what money reformers have been advocating for decades - get money into the pockets of the people who actually spend it on goods and services.

Comment: It is very, very unlikely, that this is going to happen. Because in the end, the destruction of the financial system is a long-term (?) goal of the Elite. That the CFR is chiming in with these thoughts shows that in certain economic circles there is a growing desperation.

The real terrorists exposed again: Zionist settlers consume more Palestinian land

Throughout the Occupied West Bank and Occupied al-Quds (Jerusalem), Zionist settlers are digging in.

They are excavating foundations for new settlements, uprooting Palestinian olive trees and smashing Palestinian homes with their bulldozers.

Today there are well over half a million Zionist invaders squatting in al-Quds and the West Bank, stocking up on weapons and " all too often" using Palestinian children for target practice.

More hysteria: U.S. sez 11 airplanes seized by Islamist rebels in Lybia could be used to carry out terrorist attack on 9/11 anniversary

U.S. officials fear Islamic militants have stolen nearly a dozen commercial planes in Libya which could be used to carry out 9/11-style terrorist attacks in the region.

Eleven commercial jets operated by two state-owned airlines went missing last month, after militant group Libyan Dawn overtook the international airport in the capital city of Tripoli.

In the past two weeks, the U.S. government has been issuing warnings about the deteriorating state in Libya, drawing attention to the fact that the planes could be used in attacks to mark the anniversary of 9/11 later this month, sources who read the briefs told the Washington Free-Beacon.


Comment: Yes, never mind who's responsible for the deteriorating situation in Libya, or who's funding these terrorists who are supposed to carry out these attacks - 'Anything U.S. touches turns into Libya or Iraq': Top Putin quotes at National Youth Forum


'There are a number of commercial airliners in Libya that are missing,' one official told the Free-Beacon. 'We found out on September 11 what can happen with hijacked planes.'

Comment: With the coming anniversary of 9/11, the psychos in power plan to capitalize on it as much as possible.

Preparing the masses? Homeland Security loses track of 6,000 foreigners on student visas

  • 'Some of them could be here to do us harm,' an ICE official said
  • The Department of Homeland Security has lost track of 58,000 foreigners on student visas but only 6,000 of them are subjects of 'heightened concern'
  • As of last year, the government had lost touch with more than a million total visa holders

    The Department of Homeland Security has lost track of roughly 58,000 foreigners here on expired student visas. More than 6,000 of them are considered high-risk for terrorism related activities.
    The federal government has let more than 6,000 foreigners on student visas who represent a national security threat slip through the cracks, according to a news report released Tuesday.

    The Department of Homeland Security lost contact with the foreigners, who ABC News says are of 'heightened concern,' after they overstayed their visas and has been unable to reestablish contact.

    'My greatest concern is that they could be doing anything,' Peter Edge, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official, told ABC News. 'Some of them could be here to do us harm.'

    Comment: Are the psychos in US preparing another false flag attack in order to get the people back in line? Is US being prepared for a false-flag attack on American soil?

    And lest we forget: Government agents 'directly involved' in almost all high-profile U.S. terror plots
