At a time of escalated tensions with the West over Ukraine, Russia says it is negotiating with eight governments around the world for access to military facilities, to enable it to extend its long-range naval and strategic bomber capabilities.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Wednesday the military was engaged in talks with Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Algeria, Cyprus, the Seychelles, Vietnam and Singapore.

"We need bases for refueling near the equator, and in other places," ITAR-Tass quoted him as saying.

Russia is not looking to establish bases in those locations, but to reach agreement to use facilities there when required.

The countries are all strategically located - in three leftist-ruled countries close to the U.S.; towards either end of the Mediterranean; in the Indian Ocean south of the Gulf of Aden; and near some of the world's most important shipping lanes in the Malacca Strait and South China Sea.

CIA asset Alexei Navalny placed under house arrest in Russia

Court orders opposition leader's detention in embezzlement inquiry, and forbids him from using internet

A court in Moscow has ordered the Russian protest leader Alexei Navalny to be placed under house arrest, after a request from investigators working on an embezzlement case.

Navalny and his brother Oleg face charges of stealing and laundering a total of 51m rubles (£840,000) from the cosmetics company Yves Rocher and a Russian firm.

Investigators had already made Navalny sign a pledge not to leave Moscow but asked for his restrictions to be stepped up to house arrest, arguing that he had repeatedly violated the restrictions imposed on him. As well as being unable to leave his home in the Moscow region, the new restrictions imposed by a district court mean Navalny will only be able to talk to relatives, investigators and his defence lawyers.

Crucially for a figure who has emerged as one of the main challengers to President Vladimir Putin through a widely followed blog, he will not be able to use the internet. Noir will he be able to send or receive letters or talk to the press.

Russian opposition caught filing into U.S. embassy in Moscow

In mid-January 2012, just days after Michael McFaul arrived in Moscow to begin his stint as US Ambassador to Russia, Russian opposition leaders lined up outside the US Embassy [Russian] to meet him in a bizarre confab that reeked of both treason and duplicity.

Caught red-handed - Russia's opposition, long accused by the Kremlin of being foreign-funded, and who have well-documented ties to the US State Department, are caught filing into the US Embassy in Moscow in January of 2012, just days after agitator Michael McFaul began his stint as US Ambassador to Russia.

Approached by journalists inquiring as to why they had all come to greet the US Ambassador, their responses ranged from silence to dismissive gibes.

Later, the group of opposition leaders emerged responding only with "Вы сурковская пропаганда," or "you're Surkov's propaganda," meaning the journalists represented government efforts to undermine their work and legitimacy. It is a common response given by Russia's opposition members when media attempts to question them about their increasingly overt ties to Wall Street and London.

'Pussy Riot', the U.S. State Department and Economic Shock Therapy

Useless idiots: ‘Punk Rock Band’ ‘Pussy Riot’ with token guitar, which none of them know how to play

When the US government sanctioned the beating and arrest of US citizens for swaying from side to side in the Jefferson Memorial a couple of years ago, it provoked no response from the Western media (and therefore the Western zombie-citizens who rely entirely on the media for their 'opinions'). Yet the Russian government, sorry, 'Putin' (because everyone knows Putin is a dictator, right?) is broadly denounced as a 'tyrant' by these same Western zombies (again because their 'outraged opinion' was deftly inserted into their brains by the Western media) for putting a stop to the ugly spectacle of deranged Russian women sticking chickens up their vaginas in supermarkets, daubing outlines of phalli on bridges, staging 'orgies' in a museum and defiling the peace and tranquility of Russian Orthodox churches as part of their three year long international attack on the Russian government.

Disconnect? For sure, but, like I said, don't expect any logic from the collective mind of the citizens of Western zombie nations. All you can hope to do is understand the psychopathic logic of Western governments and the way it infects the minds and manipulates the emotions of Western citizens.

'Pussy Riot', or 11 Russian women between the ages of 20-33, has received direct moral support from the US State Department and likely indirect financial support, and appears to be one aspect of the US government's decade-long attempt to undermine Russian society and its president, Vladimir Putin.

The costs about to be paid by Obama in Ukraine

Oriental Review
Sat, 01 Mar 2014 17:06 UTC

Yesterday the United States lost the propaganda war on Ukraine. President Obama made a reluctant and senseless statement which Washington Post entitled "There will be costs".

He pronounced standard phrases like "the Ukrainian people deserve the opportunity to determine their own future", proposed Russia to be a "part of an international community's effort to support the stability and success of a united Ukraine", lamented over the alleged "violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity" and assured that "the United States supports his government's efforts and stands for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and democratic future of Ukraine".

What the hell is Obama thinking? More empty words from the puppet in chief

Nothing is quite as nauseating as watching the hypocrisy and hubris with which President Obama 'warns' the Russian president not to 'interfere' in Ukraine, telling the Russians there would be 'costs to pay.' It's a surreal move, echoed by his equally creepy and out-of-touch consigliore and chief "diplomat," the morally bankrupt John Kerry. Astonishing in its audacity and lack of regard for history, truth or facts, this bellicose blather seems aimed only at the idiots over whom he presides, the fools and tools in congress and the press, and his bought-and-paid-for lackeys in European capitals.

Outside the bubble, the sabre rattling is alarming and threatening. Having stood the issue completely on its head, No Drama Obama ignores how it looks to Russia, China and anyone with a skeptical mind. It is so jarring that it leaves only two options: is he crazy or does he really want war? That's why the Russian Senate, offended to the core, asked President Putin to recall the US ambassador over Obama's remarks.

CIA officers 'advised' Russian finance ministers in early 1990s while enriching themselves

RIA Novosti
Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:09 UTC

Officers of the United States' Central Intelligence Agency operated as consultants to Anatoly Chubais, the Russian deputy prime minister who oversaw the privatization of the country's economy in the early 1990's, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.

"In Chubais' entourage, it has now turned out, CIA officers worked as consultants," Putin said at a live Q&A session with the Russian public.

Putin also said "intelligence officers" had been prosecuted in the United States for illegally "enriching" themselves "during the course of privatization in Russia."

He gave no further details.

Putin also said "many mistakes" had been made during the controversial privatization of Russia's post-Soviet economy, but praised Chubais and the other reformers for their "courage" in taking the measures they deemed necessary.

Secrets of the Vatican - Catholic Corruption

One month before U.S. President Barack Obama pays his first visit to meet Pope Francis at The Vatican, an explosive new report has exposed the seedy side of the Catholic Church.

Secrets of the Vatican - a PBS Frontline exclusive which first aired last Tuesday - is a jaw-dropping piece of work, utterly unflinching in its depiction of the church's ongoing child sexual abuse scandal.

Not only that, it delves extensively into allegations of money laundering on the part of the Vatican Bank -

"It is unbelievable that this documentary was ever produced and shown on American television, much less by the government's PBS network," one source told us in commending it to our attention.

We agree ...

The FrontLine story begins with the story of Rev. Marcial Maciel Degollado. Maciel was the Mexican priest who founded the Roman Catholic Church's Legion of Christ, an order which recruited young men for the priesthood.

U.S. seeks to provoke Russia over Ukraine

Mike Billington
Press TV
Fri, 28 Feb 2014 18:24 UTC

Press TV has conducted an interview with Mike Billington, with the Executive Intelligence Review, from Leesburg, about US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel calling on Russia to be cautious about its military exercises along Ukraine's border

What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview:

Press TV: Mike Billington, it is pretty apparent that Putin is mad and we have just heard from the US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel saying that it hopes that it is not going to be provocative these military drills and that it would not lead to miscalculations.

Where do you see the situation headed?

Billington: Well it is a disgusting hypocrisy. The problem of course that everyone knows is that it is not the Russians who are intervening in the internal affairs of Ukraine. It was the US and NATO. Everybody heard Victoria Nuland's open discussion with ambassador [Geoffrey] Pyatt about who they want to put in office and who they want to keep out on the street, continue the violent demonstrations that were going on.

Report: Two Russian anti-submarine warships appear off the coast of Ukraine's Crimea region

Russian President Vladimir Putin has got the go-ahead from parliament to use the country's military in Ukraine in a marked escalation of the crisis.

The Kremlin has already been accused of sending 6,000 troops into Crimea despite calls by Britain and the US for Moscow to back off.

Two Russian anti-submarine warships have also appeared off the Crimea coast, violating an agreement on Moscow's lease of a naval base, Interfax news agency quoted a Ukrainian military source as saying.

The source said the two vessels, part of Russia's Baltic Fleet, had been sighted in a bay at Sevastopol, where Moscow's Black Sea Fleet has a base.

On Friday, US President Barack Obama warned Moscow "there will be costs" if it intervened militarily.

His national security team met on Saturday for an update on the crisis.
