Flowers left on the staircase of the trade union building in the Ukrainian city of Odessa in memory of those died on Friday.
The US-NATO-sponsored Kiev coalition government is responsible for the killings perpetrated by neo-Nazi Right Sector mobs and security forces in Odessa in which at least 43 people were killed.

In Odessa, Right Sector thugs set fire the city's Trade Union building leading to countless deaths of innocent civilians who were burnt alive within the building which had been set ablaze.

"Such actions are reminiscent of the crimes of the Nazis," said Russia's Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin.

The "international community" has turned a blind eye, the Western media has described the neo-Nazi Brown shirts as "freedom fighters". In the words of Eric Sommers:
"May 2, 2014 -- the date that fascist forces supported by the US government attacked and murdered helpless civilians in the Ukraine -- is a day which will live in infamy".

Fighting escalated across eastern Ukraine over the weekend after Friday's massacre in Odessa, carried out by far-right supporters of the Western puppet regime in Kiev. Reports of the atrocity confirmed that it was an act of terror aimed at pro-Russian protesters and intended to inflame tensions throughout Ukraine and with Russia.

Some 1,000 well-armed football hooligans from Kharkiv and fascist thugs from the Right Sector militia attacked pro-Russian protesters, forced them into the city's trade union hall, then besieged the building, shooting at it with small arms and torching it with Molotov cocktails. In all, 42 people died and 170 were wounded, making it Kiev's single bloodiest act of repression against the protests. Odessa police allowed the assault to proceed, then jailed pro-Russian protesters who managed to survive both the flames and Right Sector thugs who attacked anyone they saw jumping from the building.

On Sunday, over 1,000 protesters in Odessa stormed police headquarters to force the release of the 67 detainees, shouting slogans such as "Odessa is a Russian city" and "One for all and all for one." Once inside the building, they took down the Ukrainian flag and negotiated with police to free the detainees.

A total of 46 people were killed and over 200 wounded after radicals attacked and reportedly set on fire Odessa's Trade Union House, which was occupied by local pro-federalization activists

Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of the Russian republic of Chechnya, called Ukrainian Interior Ministry's statement on a fire in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Odessa on Saturday, as "cutting-edge cynicism" and "over-the-top impudence."

A total of 46 people were killed and over 200 wounded after radicals attacked and reportedly set on fire Odessa's Trade Union House, which was occupied by local pro-federalization activists. The Ukrainian Interior Ministry later said in a statement that it were the people inside the building, who started the fire using Molotov cocktails.

The police have let out prisoners. Crowd goes wild:
Sixty-seven anti-government activists detained by police in the south Ukrainian city of Odessa have been released after a crowd of locals blocked the Interior Ministry building. Those released reportedly included survivors from the deadly May-2 fire.

A crowd of Odessa residents, which included many women and elderly people as seen on live video streams from the scene, cheered and hugged the released activists.

RT's Irina Galushko reported that despite being set free, the activists did not have the charges against them dropped and were asked "to come back tomorrow for their belongings."

Congress calls for investigation of Phoenix VA hospital that reportedly denied vets medical attention, leaving 40 to die

Thomas Breen, 71, is believed to be one of at least 40 veterans in the Phoenix VA system who have died while awaiting medical care.
"Why is this happening to me? Why won't anybody help me?" 71-year-old U.S. Navy veteran Thomas Breen asked his family as his health deteriorated, his years-long struggle with cancer nearing its end.

The veteran's daughter-in-law recalled his final months in an interview with CNN: "At the end is when he suffered. He screamed. He cried. And that's somethin' I'd never seen him do before, was cry. Never. Never. He cried in the kitchen right here. 'Don't let me die.'"

Before losing his battle with stage 4 bladder cancer and passing away on Nov. 30, 2013, Breen and his family tried again and again to seek medical help from the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care system. But along with thousands of other veterans who gave their youth and energy to serve their country, Breen was reportedly placed on a "secret list" and told to wait.

Breen is one of at least 40 U.S. veterans who died while waiting for treatment, CNN reported, suggesting that the Phoenix VA used the "secret list" to stage a cover-up.

It is quite illustrative that even in the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe no one is aware that the blood is being shed in Ukraine, ministry said

The West has actually imposed an information blockade on tragic events taking place in Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Sunday.

"While Ukrainian punitive squads are carrying out their operations in east Ukraine, conducting sweeps in some settlements and blocking some others, the West has actually imposed an information blockade on tragic events taking place in that country," the ministry said, adding that "It is quite illustrative that even in the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) no one is aware that the blood is being shed in Ukraine and troops are shooting at unarmed people.

Russia demands that the relevant agencies of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and the Council of Europe give an unbiased assessments to the development picking pace in Ukraine, ministry said.

President François Hollande was jostled and jeered in Carmaux, Tarn, yesterday, as a visit to the birthplace of French political giant Jean Jaurès did not go wholly to script.

"You have not kept your promises," one woman told him, as he walked through the crowd. "Jaurès was not like you."

Others were upset at the large police presence and complained about not being able to access the ceremony marking the centenary of the death of politician Jean Jaurès, who was assassinated in Paris on the eve of the First World War.

"Come with me," Mr Hollande told them, before blaming the prefecture of Tarn for blocking access to the town's Place Jean Jaurès.

Obama's next war versus common sense

The Obama administration tottered on the edge of launching a cruise missile attack on Syria this past August and September. Obama hesitated and decided to seek congressional approval before blowing up many targets on the Syrian landscape. After Americans made it loud and clear that they did not want another war, congressional opposition helped curb his bellicosity. But he came close to plunging the United States into another war, and the episode provides warnings for the next foreign-policy brouhaha.

After it accused the Syrian regime of launching a chemical-weapons attack that killed masses of civilians, the administration harangued Americans to support going to war on the basis of blind faith in the president's character and wisdom. On August 28, a front-page Washington Post headline blared, "Proof Against Assad at Hand." But that hand remained hidden. On a Sunday talk show on September 8, White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough admitted that the administration lacked evidence "beyond a reasonable doubt" proving that the Syrian regime had carried out the gas attack. But McDonough asserted, "The common-sense test says [Assad] is responsible for this. He should be held to account."

U.S. stuck without Russian intervention and German support in Ukraine

Two days ago a mob, supported by the fascists Right Sektor, killed over 30 federalist Ukrainians in Odessa by pushing them from their camp into a building and then setting fire to it. Those who escaped the massacre, not the perpetrators, were rounded up by police. Today pro-federalism people besieged the police headquarter in Odessa until the police released those it had earlier arrested.

In the east some military and National Guard units under government control were in sporadic fights with federalists but right now the government forces seem to be again in retreat. There were attacks on private bank outlets in the east because the owner of the bank, a well known oligarch, is suspected of financing the fascist Right Sektor paramilitaries.

The U.S. plan for Ukraine seems to be to bait Russia into an occupation. This would destroy EU-Russia relations, embolden NATO and help the U.S. to keep the EU as a secondary partner under its control. There would be lots of economic upsides for the U.S. in such a situation. Selling more arms and increasing energy market shares are only the starters.
