A year after the tragic events in the southern Ukrainian city of Odessa, Ukrainian justice is not seeking to conduct an unbiased probe into the May 2014 massacre there, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement Friday.

The ministry said May 2 will mark "a year since one of the most tragic episodes of the intra-Ukrainian conflict - when neo-Nazis-Banderovites set on fire unarmed people in the Trade Unions House in Odessa."

Banderovites is a negative term for followers of Stepan Bandera - a nationalist leader in Western Ukraine in the 20th century who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II.

Comment: Kiev cannot afford to have the light of day shine on this massacre. This is what really happens with freedom and democracy.

Conservative commentators are up in arms over the State Department's decision to deny a visa to a Catholic nun who was part of an Iraqi delegation supposed to testify before Congress about Islamic State (ISIS) atrocities.

The US consulate in Erbil rejected the visitor visa application of Sister Diana Momeka earlier this week, saying she was "not able to demonstrate that [her] intended activities in the United States would be consistent with the classification of the visa."

However, visas were given to all the other members of the delegation scheduled to speak in Washington about the Islamic State's persecution of minorities of the region, including Shia Muslims and Yazidis. Meetings have been arranged for the group before the House and Senate foreign relations committees, with State Department and USAID officials, and with various NGOs.

Comment: Silencing the voices of those who could possibly touch a nerve of the American public.

Ukraine is on the verge of economic collapse and subsequent social upheaval, French daily L'Humanite reported.

To pay back a $17.5 billion loan approved by the Troika of creditors (the European Central Bank, the EU and the IMF) in March, Ukrainians literally risk losing it all.

Comment: So the IMF loans will be paid back by genocidal neo-Nazis at the expense of the already looted poor. The psychos in charge of these institutions should see the insides of jail cells. Check out:

  • The looting of Ukraine has begun
  • The IMF goes to war in Ukraine with austerity package, while the US prays for a Russian intervention in Ukraine
  • Surprise! Ukrainian people will bear brunt of IMF deal with tough austerity

The independent investigation by attorney David Hoffman will determine whether the American Psychological Association (APA) was actually involved in the US Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) torture program, APA Public Communications Deputy Executive Director Kim Mills told Sputnik.

The report concluded that the APA secretly cooperated with the administration of former US President George W. Bush and aided CIA's torture programs against suspected and actual terrorists as well as their aides and supporters.

Comment: The APA's 'main priority' is to figure out a way to do damage control; they've been aware of the role their psychologists have played in torture sites for years now. Check out:

US-led airstrikes have killed 52 Syrian civilians in one day, a monitoring group reports. There was fighting in the vicinity, but the strike allegedly failed to kill even a single Islamist fighter.

"Airstrikes by the coalition early on Friday on the village of Birmahle in Aleppo province killed 52 civilians," the head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.

Seven of the victims were children. A further 13 were buried under the rubble, he added.

SOTT Focus: Iraqis murder U.S. soldiers on the battlefield while Freddie Gray murders himself in a police van

It's the first of its kind they say, and I believe them. For all of recorded history, when soldiers of one country invaded and occupied another, deaths among the invading forces were accepted as 'casualties of war', not homicides. A soldier on active duty in a war zone couldn't be 'murdered'. At least until now. This week, a British national, Anis Abid Sardar from north-west London, has gone on trial for the 'murder' of Sergeant First Class Randy Johnson in roadside attack outside Baghdad in 2007.

Why NATO is terrified of Russia

The twin-pronged attack - oil price war/raid on the ruble - aimed at destroying the Russian economy and place it into a form of Western natural resource vassalage has failed.

Natural resources were also essentially the reason for reducing Iran to a Western vassalage. That never had anything to do with Tehran developing a nuclear weapon, which was banned by both the leader of the Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini, and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.

The 'New Great Game' in Eurasia was always about control of the Eurasian land mass. Minor setbacks to the American elite project do not mean the game will be restricted to a mere "war of attrition". Rather the contrary.

Best of the Web: 'We condemn the police brutality': How the Western media would cover the Baltimore "riots" if it happened elsewhere


Washington Post
Fri, 01 May 2015 14:13 UTC

If what is happening in Baltimore happened in a foreign country, here is how Western media would cover it:

'International leaders expressed concern over the rising tide of racism and state violence in America, especially concerning the treatment of ethnic minorities in the country and the corruption in state security forces around the country when handling cases of police brutality. The latest crisis is taking place in Baltimore, Maryland, a once-bustling city on the country's Eastern Seaboard, where an unarmed man named Freddie Gray died from a severed spine while in police custody.

Black Americans, a minority ethnic group, are killed by state security forces at a rate higher than the white majority population. Young, black American males are 21 times more likely to be shot by police than white American males.

Comment: A rare moment of truth from the Washington Post. Of course, we have to be suspicious of this editorial line from a truly 'white establishment' paper like the Post. In recent days, the Post has carried other very candidly anti-system articles. For example, in this article, when referring to the video of African-America mother Toya Graham beating her would-be protestor son, the Post journalist states:
"Graham's message to America is: I will teach my black son not to resist white supremacy so he can live. [...]

The kind of violent discipline Graham unleashed on her son did not originate with her, or with my adoptive mother who publicly beat me when I was a child, or with the legions of black parents who equate pain with protection and love. The beatings originated with white supremacy, a history of cultural and physical violence that devalues black life at every turn. From slavery through Jim Crow, from the school-to-prison pipeline, the innocence and protection of black children has always been a dream deferred.

What is so disturbing is that white supremacy is let off the hook. A militarized and racist police force is not the problem. Systemic racism — from the War on Drugs to racial profiling, from hyper segregation to community divestment — is not the issue. The message becomes: Black children's behavior is the true enemy of peace."
Do the owners of the Washington Post have an interest now in exposing the truth about racist America in order to encourage more widespread chaos and, possibly, one of those nice 'color revolutions' in which the US State Deptartment and CIA are so well-schooled?

Israel's Zionist-Wall Street destabilization campaign in Argentina

A recent article by Jorge Elbaum, the former executive director of DAIA (Delegation for Argentine Jewish Associations), the principle Argentine Jewish umbrella groups, published in the Buenos Aires daily Pagina 12, provides a detailed account of the damaging links between the State of Israel, US Wall Street speculators and local Argentine Zionists in government and out.

Elbaum describes how their efforts have been specifically directed toward destabilizing the incumbent center-left government of President Cristina Fernandez, while securing exorbitant profits for a Zionist Wall Street speculator, Paul Singer of Elliott Management as well as undermining a joint Iranian-Argentine investigation of the 1994 terrorist bombing of the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires.

Elbaum's article was written in response to the death of Alberto Nisman, a Zionist zealot and chief government prosecutor in the terrorist bombing investigation for over 20 years.

The serious issues raised by the political use and gross manipulation of the horrors of the bombing of the Argentine Jewish Community Center shows how Tel Aviv (and its political assets in Argentina and the US) further Israeli power in the Middle East, in particular, by isolating and demonizing Iran. This is important at two critical levels, which this article seeks to highlight.

Merkel let the NSA in, turned Germany into another vassal of the US - German lawmaker

Alexander Nau, a member of Germany's lower house of parliament, said that German Chancellor Angela Merkel does not care about the US attitude towards Germany as Merkel believes in the German-American friendship, which is turning Germany into one of the US's vassals.

Recent revelations that German intelligence allegedly spied on European targets at the behest of the US National Security Agency (NSA) shows that German Chancellor Angela Merkel has accepted Germany's transformation from an EU leader to a US puppet, a German lawmaker told Sputnik.

Comment: Yep, though she didn't have much choice since the EU was set up to be a US vassal in the first place. It's ordinary people who have to pay the price. The NSA's wiretapping, the sabotage of Russian economic partners by the US' sanctions, and being left with the aftermath of Ukraine's neo-Nazi descent are all crippling burdens, and more are coming.
