Putin: EU is turning a blind eye to the fact that the Ukrainian troops are "directly targeting" civilians

Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused the European Union of turning a blind eye to the Ukrainian troops "directly targeting" civilians in the east of the country.

The Ukrainian military "is directly targeting its fire on residential areas" and "unfortunately many countries, including in Europe, prefer not to notice that," Putin said on Monday.

He added that the goal of pro-Russia forces operating in eastern Ukraine is "to push back [Ukrainian] armed forces and artillery so they cannot fire on residential areas."

The eastern parts of Ukraine have been witnessing four months of fighting between the pro-West government and pro-Russia fighters.

Putin's comments came hours after the European Union threatened to slap new sanctions on Russia. Moscow has already been under European sanctions over its alleged involvement in the deadly insurgency in neighboring Ukraine.

Comment: Amid all lies and sanctions against him, Putin continues to ask for an end to the slaughter of unarmed civilians in East Ukraine by the Kiev junta army, which is financed and supported by the U.S. and NATO. Who's the villain here?

US Army preparing to fight shadowy criminals, extremists and influential political dissidents

As we've witnessed recently in Ferguson, Missouri, the difference between police and military is already nearly indistinguishable. In other words, the Army is already taking on peaceful citizens in domestic cities. Tank-supported SWAT teams already grenade and raid homes to serve warrants for victimless, non-violent offenses. What more can they possibly train for?

The U.S. Army is now officially getting into the crime-fighting business. According to the Army Times, the Army is training to fight battles in megacities, not against other armies, but to help local authorities root out shadowy criminals, extremists and, wait for it, wait for it, influential political dissidents.

The Army Times reports on this year's Unified Quest war games drill:
When the Army looks to the future, it sees cities. Dense, sprawling, congested cities where criminal and extremist groups flourish almost undetected by authorities, but who can influence the lives of the population while undermining the authority of the state.

And the service is convinced that these "megacities" of 20 million or more people will be the battleground of the future.

Comment: Why militarize the police when you can bring in the military itself?

The myth about the Yazidis on that Iraq Mountain?

Is it at all possible that we're being sold an emotionally compelling story to justify U.S. military intervention in Iraq?

No one wants to see anyone suffer, Yazidi or otherwise. What we do want is to know the truth about what is going on in Iraq even as Obama continues airstrikes, and prepares to send in 130 more American troops.

U.S. officials said they believed that some type of ground force would be necessary to secure the passage of the stranded members of the Yazidi group. The military is drawing up plans for consideration by President Obama that could include American ground troops.

So a couple of questions here.

Long before U.S. airstrikes, the defenseless Yazidi people climbed up that mountain for refuge from ISIS, who supposedly wanted to slaughter them. Why didn't ISIS just also climb up and then slaughter them? We know ISIS had mortars and actual artillery, because the U.S. later bombed those. Why didn't ISIS use those weapons to slaughter the Yazidis from afar?

Also, after one or two airstrikes, ISIS became so easy to defeat that the Kurds made it possible for 24,000 Yazidis to walk off the mountain, walk into Syria and then U-turn walk back into Iraq and settle in safely. It begs the question about how surrounded by determined ISIS fighters that mountain really was. It takes a long time for 24,000 people to do anything, and they'd need to be walking a long way during which time they would be vulnerable to ISIS. How could ISIS go from being such a threat that U.S. airpower was essential, to be pushed aside by Kurds who otherwise were having their hats handed to them by ISIS everywhere else?

Comment: According to this article, the whole thing was indeed a pretext to justify a military intervention.
It turns out there were Yazidis already living on the top of the mountain, and while there were some refugees who fled up there, the humanitarian crisis was never what it was made out to be, and an influx of Kurdish PKK fighters from Syria quickly broke the overblown siege.

The administration just seems grateful that they got an excuse to start a war they've been chomping at the bit for, and even if the excuse didn't exactly pan out, they'll quickly find another.
Other sources say that the Yazidis were saved by the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party), a group which the US placed on a terrorist list.
The Yazidis headed for the hills. Some were stranded without food and water. It was certainly a nasty refugee situation and they needed help. When the US finally got on the mountain, they had to admit, "Uh...the situation is not as bad as we thought." That's because the PKK had already saved them. Western media say "Kurdish militias" saved them, because, remember? The Kurds are our new BFFs.

US, European allies can't defeat Putin over Ukraine crisis: Expert James Fetzer

The US and its European allies would not be able to defeat Russian President Vladimir Putin over the crisis in Ukraine because Moscow has lots of cards to play, an American author says.

"Russia is not going to allow Ukraine to become a NATO nation or to fall into the hand of extreme anti-Russians," said James Fetzer, an editor at Veterans Today.

"Russia has lots of cards to play in relation to the pressures from the European nations for more sanctions, including its control of very large proportion of gas that is supplied to those nations," the retired professor from Wisconsin told Press TV on Monday.

The European Union is seeking to impose further sanction on Moscow over the crisis.

The author also noted that the United States has "grossly violated" the sovereignty of Ukraine and other Eastern European nations, helping to "destabilize" and install a "puppet regime" in Kiev.

"The United States has invested some $5 billion to bring about destabilization in the Ukraine," Fetzer said.

The US State Department's New World Order Agenda


Totalitarian Collectivism

Flag waving Americans want to believe that their government is on the right side of history. Especially in the realm of foreign policy, the myth that the United States saved the world from despotic tyrants, popularly reflected in the victor's account of post World War II, is the accepted viewpoint. Hidden from public education is that the New World Order was the actual winner. The specific inception of the globalist forces that originated the sub rosa directions behind formable institutions and governments dates well back over centuries. However, the modern technocratic era allows for the dramatic acceleration of a one-world system imposition, which was never possible in previous times.

Loyal citizens of the old republic want to trust that the State Department, commissioned to serve as the guardian and protector of the country, is conducting foreign policy in the best interests of the nation. There is a reason why the Secretary of State is third in line to succeed the President. That purpose, intended to defend diplomatically and promote the public safety and benefit, has served a very different master for a very long time.

Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg's notorious adage, "politics stops at the water's edge", by no means ever really practiced by the political class a true national defense of the country because it was never the primary goal of the establishment.

NWO's psychopathic nefarious organism: NATO threatens WW III


Totalitarian Collectivism

The New World Order has been in place for centuries. Is it not time to start calling the NWO by another name? A descriptive term that encapsulates the essence of the beast would be a Nefarious Warrior Organism. Such a phrase strips away the ridiculous notion that there is any order in the malevolent organization of the parasitic global structure, based upon perpetual and permanent warfare. This depiction more closely resembles reality, even if the master mass media refuses to acknowledge How the World Really Works. Discard any condemnation that criticism of the established order rests upon conspiratorial fantasy or pre-medieval prejudices. Explaining away or ignoring basic human nature in a "PC" culture ultimately requires the adoption of a depraved Totalitarian Collectivism system.

Students of world affairs are not strangers to the practice of lies and deception. One of the grand daddies of the Nefarious Warrior Organism, and infamous war criminal, Henry Kissinger has a new book, World Order. An excerpt published in the Wall Street Journal, Henry Kissinger on the Assembly of a New World Order, spews the same poppycock that underpins the destructive policies and practices that has the world ripe for an apocalyptic conflict, needed to rescue the banksters of international finance from their derivative Ponzi scheme.
"Libya is in civil war, fundamentalist armies are building a self-declared caliphate across Syria and Iraq and Afghanistan's young democracy is on the verge of paralysis. To these troubles are added a resurgence of tensions with Russia and a relationship with China divided between pledges of cooperation and public recrimination. The concept of order that has underpinned the modern era is in crisis.

The international order thus faces a paradox: Its prosperity is dependent on the success of globalization, but the process produces a political reaction that often works counter to its aspirations."

Vladimir Putin is Nemesis of the New World Order

Mother Russia is a much different country from the Stalin gulags. With all the faults of a long tradition of authoritarian rule, it is natural for observers in the West to be suspect of the latest would be Czar. The remnants of the cold war linger with concerns of the true motives and goals of a second Vladimir Putin era. By most reliable accounts, he never left the power circle prior to his return as President. Upon his latest election, The Guardian published an article Putin's election victory is a headache for the west. "Nobody is any doubt that the Putin who returns to the Kremlin in May is the same Putin who has effectively run Russia for the past 12 years - prickly, uncompromising, suspicious and fond of snide remarks about western hypocrisy and double standards."

The context for any serious discussion on foreign affairs must start with the admission that the New World Order is the dominant controller of political power, especially in western countries. The NeoCon/NeoLib cabal dictates worldwide compliance. Nations conform to the financial supremacy of banksters, administered by handpicked political stooges. Global governance is the end game destined for all states. Individual nations slated for extinction are doomed as long as the NWO advances their worldwide imperium.

EU 'shoots itself in the foot' by blocking South Stream gas pipeline project

Will this "pipe dream" ever become a reality?
The attempts by the European Commission to delay the construction of the South Stream gas pipeline are motivated strictly for political reasons, Gazprom's spokesman has said.

"So far, the EU seems ready to shoot itself in the foot by blocking a project that will increase its energy security and help Europe satisfy increasing energy import needs, at no cost to European taxpayers," Gazprom spokesman Sergey Kupriyanov wrote in a letter to the Financial Times (FT).

It comes as a response to an article by the FT's Energy Editor Guy Chazan published on August 25, where he called the South Stream project "a pipe dream," saying the project "has become one of the biggest casualties of the east-west stand-off over Ukraine."

Kupriyanov says South Stream was designed to put an end to the over-reliance on the Ukrainian gas transit system, adding that countries in south-eastern Europe "probably have at least as many reasons as Gazprom to be 'desperate' to reduce transit risks."

Contrary to northern EU customers, who receive gas supplies from Russia via Nord Stream, south-eastern European countries still have to rely on the Ukrainian transit system.


Comment: It seems that EU pays no attention to the future of south-eastern Europe. No wonder then why people of south-eastern Europe feel like second class citizens.

Regular readers will be intimately familiar with my feelings on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Long before it became obvious to millions of people, I wrote about how the DHS was never intended to prevent terrorist attacks, rather it had always been intended to suppress the American citizenry.

Over the past decade, it has become a dangerous behemoth of fascism under the guise of the fraudulent "war on terror."

Going back to 2010, I wrote a piece titled: The Dangers of a Failed Presidency, in which I wrote:

Tit for tat sanctions by Russia and the West to have impact on Kazakhstan

President Nursultan Nazarbayev
Economic sanctions mutually imposed by Western countries and Russia will have an impact on Kazakhstan, President Nursultan Nazarbayev said on Tuesday, addressing the parliament.
"The new session of the parliament opens under uneasy conditions. Unpredictability remains in the world's economy, and geopolitical risks become deeper, including in connection with complicated international relations over Ukraine," the president said.
States producing 60% of the world's GNP use sanctions against each other. It will lead to serious changes in established international economic relations and lower economic growth. This will influence Kazakhstan as well, he said.

The Kazakh president urged to take measures to prevent possible negative challenges for the country's economy, people's welfare and national security and called for coordinated work of the parliament and the government to use opening opportunities.
