water filtraion plant Donetsk
Ukrainian forces have seized the water filtration plant in Donetsk. Russell Bonner Bentley, the famed soldier known as "Texac" (Texas in Russian) who traveled to the DPR to fight on behalf of DPR military, has stated that the Ukrainian forces are in all probability wiring the water filtration plant for demolition, as water is still flowing in Donetsk currently.

This development follows days of numerous amounts of bombardments and other disturbing events in recent months that have hinted at possible war, such as mysterious deaths of Russian diplomats abroad, totaling 4 within 3 months. Texac stated ominously, "So, ready for war..."

WATER SITUATION UPDATE -

"Water still running, but doesn't seem to be clean. It is not and cannot be trusted. There are many wells, and filtered water is still available. The situation is serious. People, especially more vulnerable like elderly and mothers are concerned, but we continue with our business and our lives. This is a serious provocation and complete breach of Minsk. As of now, there is NO ceasefire. I will post updates as they occur." - "Texac" Bentley

The Muslim-Bosniak member of Bosnia-Herzegovina's tripartite presidency is appealing the decision that cleared Serbia of genocide charges during the 1992-95 civil war. He has launched a case with the Hague-based International Court of Justice.

Member of the presidency Bakir Izetbegovic is seeking to reverse the UN's decision, telling journalists in Sarajevo on Thursday that "the request is being submitted at this very moment," according to Reuters.

"I think that I am on the path of truth and justice," he added.

The appeal is being launched just before the 10-year deadline for such a request expires on February 26.

Bosnia has three major ethnic groups - Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims), Croats, and Serbs - and is governed by a respective tripartite presidency.

Iran has been found in full compliance with a nuclear deal with leading world powers, a UN nuclear watchdog said in a report. It comes amid heightened fears the US may walk out of the milestone pact, with tensions flaring up between Tehran and Washington.

The latest report on the deal's implementation produced by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and obtained by Reuters and AFP on Friday confirms that the Islamic Republic is far from exceeding the limit for the amount of the low-enriched uranium it is allowed to keep.

The report, citing data as of February 18, puts Iran's low-enriched uranium stockpile at 101.7 kg, only the half of the permitted amount of 202.8 kg.

The truth about 'Digital India'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the stage for Digital India dinner.
India is descending into one of the most unfavorable entanglements since her independence. This historic conspiracy gripping the subcontinent is utter cosmic. Since the announcement of so-called "Demonetization," we have come up with several articles shedding light on possible issues.

Some of the theories and predictions drafted in the 3rd week of Demonetization seem to be becoming more true and are still gaining momentum. Surprisingly, the most intriguing information of all is the whole lot of Indian population inadvertently or knowingly continuing to endorse this mission - most are unaware of the real plot while others are obsessed with irrational character adoration.

The "soft coup" timetable initiated by the United States is in action and Indians live in an exaggerated bubble which will soon be deflated. The Indian public is largely ignorant and unconcerned, and their reliance on fallible Indian mainstream media throttles further Information Blockade. A series of corroboratory reports rightly available but in bits and pieces need to be a pieced together for an aggregated view.

The first talks planned between Washington and Pyongyang in years have reportedly been canceled, as the US State Department denied entry to a high-level North Korean diplomat, with the North's recent missile tests and Kim Jong Nam's murder also possible factors.

The low-key talks between former US officials and Choe Son Hui, the director-general of the American affairs bureau in the North Korean Foreign Ministry, were set to take place between March 1 and 2 in New York, but Choe was denied a visa, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The rationale behind scuttling the meeting was not immediately clear, but the report said Pyongyang's latest ballistic missile test and the assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, may have played a role.

Mikhail Saakashvili and John McCain: Two peas in an arms smuggling pod
Former Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili still enjoys close ties with various American organizations, involving USAID, which traffics weapons under the cover of agricultural projects in West Georgia, close to Zugdidi - as one of the key sources of this article explains, "I have told you in previous articles, and interview with the Georgian press, ones which were not interesting enough at the time to be published, or the time was not ripe, or it wasn't politically expedient. Georgia is an integral part of the so-called "ratline" of weapons and fighters to Syria.

The official DoD definition of ratline is: "An organised effort to move personnel and/or material by clandestine means across a denied area or border".

Megis Kardava, as various source explained interviews with the Georgian Press, is in Turkey under the protection of the Turkish and American intelligence services, as he is the person most directly responsible for the flow of weapons and fighters into Turkey and Syria.

Panalpina and Evergreen, are companies involved in weapons trafficking, are [always] ready to accept goods and deliver-to-the-given-destination. One of the main companies involved in the weapons shipments to Georgia and Syria is Dillon Aero, which works out of the State of Arizona. This is one of the reasons John McCain and John Kerry made recent visits to Georgia, they are afraid of what might be revealed under a Trump presidency.

Who's responsible for the rising number of anti-Muslim hate crimes in the US?

hate crime
The executive order denying entry to visa travelers from seven Muslim countries signed by Donald Trump shortly after his inauguration hasn't just sparked controversies among Americans on migration policies, but aggravated the large Muslim community that dwells in the United States. The media campaign that followed this order pursued the sole objective of accusing Trump of anti-Muslim policies.

However, it must be noted that this latest executive order temporarily freezing immigration from seven predominantly Islamic countries would affect only about 12% of the world's Muslims, according to estimates from a 2015 Pew Research Center report on the current and projected size of religious groups. Out of the seven states listed in the new immigration ban, only Iran is to be found among the 10 countries with the largest Muslim populations.

Russia's military experience in Syria has only made her stronger

Russia's powerful, resourceful military has sent Washington running for the hills

A permanent peace is still a long way off for Syria — please, don't even mention Geneva, it will give us digestion issues — but there is a silver lining to this genocidal, western-manufactured war: Russia has effectively ended Washington's global hegemony.

The Syrians, Russians and Iranians have all paid a high price, but the message is clear: Washington's game of "regime change" dominoes — which has gone on for decades, but became particularly brutal and unapologetic after 9/11 — is over.

Comment: Not only has this crisis made the Russian military stronger, but the Syrian Army is tough as nails too. If anyone wanted to see Syria removed as a threat from the Middle East they've failed. Check out:

Russia creates elite Syrian Army unit to hunt down ISIS
The Russian military has formed a new Syrian Arab Army (SAA) unit to fight the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization in Syria's vast desert terrain.

Known as the "ISIS Hunters," the Syrian Arab Army unit was funded and trained by Russian Special Forces in Latakia before being deployed to the volatile Palmyra front in the eastern countryside of the Homs Governorate. These Russian-trained soldiers are specialized in defending and protecting government facilities in desolate areas around the country.

Europe, relatively integrated, lives today in a de facto two-speed reality. Eurasia integration, a work in progress and with vastly more reach, is for the moment a three-speed process, as seen through the positioning of three Central Asian "stans".

Away from the hysterical 24/7 news cycle, Turkmenistan quietly went to the polls. President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, in power for 10 years now, amassed a positively North Korean 97.69% of the vote among 3.22 million registered citizens.

Chances are Gurbanguly's name will never be correctly pronounced in the Beltway, as Melissa 'Spicey" McCarthy hinted in a by now legendary TV sketch. No worries for someone who had a gold statue of himself erected in Ashgabat and doubles as a superstar folk singer.
