"According to the evidence that I've seen ...Odessa was a giant false flag operation. It... was one of those staged massacres that the pro-Western forces from Bosnia to Kosovo, now Ukraine, excel at staging, intended to draw Russia to overreact and commit military forces ... I believe that the fact that they are willing to stage such a horrendous atrocity shows the depth of their desperation at this point."

"Not under foreign skies
Nor under foreign wings protected -
I shared all this with my own people
There, where misfortune had abandoned us."

Photos of the victims of the Odessa fire which have been circulating on the Internet have cast doubt on the official version of events. It's now clear that many of the anti-junta activists who occupied the Trade Unions House were neither burned to death nor died of smoke inhalation, but were savagely shot at point-blank range by agents and thugs who had infiltrated the building to kill as many of the occupants as possible, burn the corpses, and then slip away without notice. Some of the victims - like a young woman who was eight months pregnant - were strangled with an electrical chord and left slumped backwards over her desk in a room that shows no sign of fire or smoke damage. In another case, a woman was stripped naked from the waste down, raped, killed, and set ablaze.

Warmongerer Nuland has tough time justifying US involvement in Ukraine

While the Obama administration insists that supporting Ukrainian Presidential elections are vital to national interests, some members of the US political elite are questioning the costs of getting involved.

During a two hour House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing, the US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland shared her assessment of the US role in Ukraine's crisis and the upcoming presidential election.

But instantaneously she came under fire from Dana Rohrabacher, a republican congressman from California.

"We did have legitimate election before, and the legitimate president was removed after we had major street violence. There were pictures of people running around that we were told were neo-Nazis," Rohrabacher challenged Nuland.

Nuland faced a hard time coming up with answers.

"First of all the vast majority of those who were participating on Maidan were peaceful protesters. There were mothers and grandmothers and veterans," Nuland said, but before being able to continue, Rohrabacher reminded the diplomat of vast presence of violent Ukrainian radicals.

"I saw those pictures and I also saw a lot of people throwing fire bombs at groups of policemen. There were people shooting into the ranks of police. So, yes, there were mothers with flowers, but there were also very dangerous street fighters engaged in those demonstrations. The question is: were there neo-Nazi groups involved?"


Comment: It is obvious that Victoria Nuland along with the rest of the American elite sees Russia as the enemy and that the missile defence shield is aimed at Russia, despite American denial of this. Using the words frontline states makes it clear that this is about confrontation with Russia.

SOTT Focus: A deal between devils: The neo-Nazi element and the U.S.'s proxy war in Ukraine

© AFP/Ganya Savilov'Al Qaeda' in Ukraine? For decades, the US has relied on local or imported terrorist paramilitaries to win their 'proxy wars'. Ukraine's Right Sector is just the latest.
The US military hasn't actually been involved in an overt "war", in the traditional sense of a conflict between two mostly equally matched adversaries, since the end of the Korean war in 1953. As Col. Fletcher Prouty points out in his book JFK:The CIA, Vietnam, and the Plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy, US soldiers in Vietnam were mainly fighting against 1 million North Vietnamese villagers who were 'deported' to the South (by the US Navy) where, like any dispossessed people, they resorted to theft to survive. These were the bulk of the 'Viet Cong' that the US military raped, tortured, napalmed and shot en masse. Every other US military and/or CIA 'adventure' from the 1960s until today (and there have been many) has involved one of the following three approaches:

A) a short-lived 'turkey shoot' against an impotent 'enemy' (see Iraq "war" 1, Libya 2011).

B) a protracted direct "war" of colonial expansion waged against an indigenous, largely civilian, population who resist occupation and plunder of their land (see Iraq "war" 2).

C) a 'proxy war', where paramilitary groups (either local or imported) are funded, trained and armed by CIA and US military 'advisers' (too many to list, but see here for a list) and fight local resistance groups on behalf of the USA.

Since the kidnapping of nearly 300 girls, Hillary Clinton has risen to the fore of those demanding international action and calling Nigerian group Boko Haram terrorists.

But during her tenure at the head of the U.S. Department of State, Clinton resisted numerous calls from the CIA, the FBI, the Department of Justice and a number of U.S. senators and congressmen to do just that.

On Sunday, Clinton tweeted:
Access to education is a basic right & an unconscionable reason to target innocent girls. We must stand up to terrorism. #BringBackOurGirls

An Egyptian preacher has issued a fatwa - an Islamic legal opinion - according to which rape is like robbery and a husband should not risk his life protecting his wife's honor from another man.

Yasser Burhami, the vice president of Salafist Call, the religious arm of the political ultra-conservative Nour party, has compared a rape with a robbery, saying that nobody should put their live in danger for money.

"In this case he [husband] is forced [to surrender her] and not obliged [to defend her],"Al Arabiya quoted the cleric as saying in his fatwa.

Burhami's remarks, published on Anasalafy.com have been widely condemned by other clerics and activists in Egypt.

Pedophiles to be treated like terrorists in UK

Pedophiles seeking to download sexual abuse "how to" manuals will be treated like extremists obtaining bombing-making guides online, British Prime Minister David Cameron said, announcing that the measure would be in his Queen's Speech law program.

Cameron said he wanted to close a loophole that allows sexual predators to legally produce and possess "manuals" advising them how to identify and groom potential victims, as well as to evade police detection.

"It's completely unacceptable that there is a loophole in the law which allows pedophiles to write and distribute these disgusting documents. I want to ensure we do everything we can to protect children - and that's why I am making them illegal," Cameron told the Sunday Times, referring to his legislative program, which according to tradition will be read out by Queen Elizabeth II during the State Opening of Parliament on June 4.

NYC federal judge overrides foreign sovereignty - obliges internet providers to disclose foreign emails to U.S. govt

A US federal judge in New York has ordered Microsoft to turn over their customers' emails and other digital content to law enforcement agencies, even in case the data is being stored on servers physically overseas.

New York Magistrate Judge James Francis does not question the cosmopolitan power of a valid search warrant issued by a US law enforcement agency. In a first-of-a-kind court ruling Friday, the judge created a precedent that no US internet provider, be it Microsoft or Google or another company, can refuse an official demand to share foreign clients' private data, Reuters reported.

The initial search warrant was issued last December in regards of one of Microsoft's clients who stored his data on a server run in Dublin, Ireland. An undisclosed US agency sought information that could be found in the person's email, such as the customer's name, credit card numbers or bank account used for payment.

Governor Jerry Brown's 'rainy day fund': Robbing Main Street to prop up Wall Street

There is no need to sequester funds urgently needed by Main Street to pay for Wall Street's malfeasance. Californians can have their cake and eat it too -- with a state-owned bank.

Governor Jerry Brown is aggressively pushing a California state constitutional amendment requiring budget surpluses to be used to pay down municipal debt and create an emergency "rainy day" fund, in anticipation of the next economic crisis.

On the face of it, it is a sensible idea. As long as Wall Street controls America's finances and our economy, another catastrophic bust is a good bet.

But a rainy day fund takes money off the table, setting aside funds we need now to reverse the damage done by Wall Street's last collapse. The brutal cuts of 2008 and 2009 shrank the middle class and gave California the highest poverty rate in the country.

The costs of Wall Street gambling are being thrust on its primary victims. We are given the choice of restoring much-needed services or maintaining austerity conditions in order to pay Wall Street the next time it brings down the economy.

Kiev losing its grip: Ukraine brings back conscription amid unrest in country's east

Ukraine's acting President Aleksandr Turchinov has announced he is reinstating a military draft to help deal with the "deteriorating" situation in the country's east and south.

The draft will call on all males between 18 and 25 years of age, who are not eligible for an exemption.

Turchinov's office said in a statement on Thursday that the decision was made "given the deteriorating situation in the east and the south...the rising force of armed pro-Russian units and the taking of public administration buildings...which threaten territorial integrity."

The military draft will be carried out in May-July, but no details were given as to where the new conscripts will be deployed.

Last year, Ukraine announced plans to stop the draft in 2014 and begin the transfer to a professional army. However, Turchinov said he decided to change the existing law due to "threats of encroachment on Ukraine's territorial integrity."

On Wednesday, Turchinov said the government in Kiev cannot control the situation in the east of the country and that Ukraine's army is on full alert due to the "threat of a Russian invasion."

"I am going back to the real threat that Russia would unleash a continental war against Ukraine. Our armed forces have been put on full alert," Turchinov told a council of Ukrainian regional heads in Kiev on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, May Day celebrations in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine turned violent as pro-autonomy activists seized the local prosecutor's office. Police responded with tear gas and stun grenades but later relinquished their weapons.

The storming of the Donetsk Region Prosecutor's Office began when several dozen shield-holding protesters pelted rocks and petrol bombs at the building while chanting, "Fascists!" as they tried to break in.

Twenty-six people sustained injuries, including gunshot wounds, as a result of the storm and clashes, RIA Novosti reported, citing Donetsk officials. Two of them were hospitalized. The Interior Ministry said that one National Guard soldier was wounded.

Comment: Pitting brother against brother, the psychopaths running the illegal government in Kiev have opted for civil war. Who's promoting democracy again?
