In a counter attack against EU sanctions, the Russian government has announced that within the decade Russia will be entirely self-sufficient when it comes to food products.

Agriculture Minister, Alexander Tkachyov stated on Tuesday that Russia will be less reliant on food imports in future, hoping to eliminate them from the market altogether by 2025.

Such a move would require, of course, considerable state support - a sum of 2 trillion roubles ($35 billion) over the next five years. Nevertheless, it will undoubtedly be a huge boost to domestic agriculture. Tkachyov, appointed in April to boost agriculture development remarked that as a result of sanctions, domestic producers have greatly benefited as the cost of imported food was raised. In addition he says it is in demand by the Russian public itself:

Comment: These sanctions are harming Europe more than Russia. Europeans should really begin to see that they are a prime target in this economic warfare. But, before the West wakes up, it's obvious that Washington plans on taking everyone down.

Western media celebrates ISIS fighting in Ukraine

Chechen jihadists are fighting with Right Sector in eastern Ukraine
In a curiously upbeat account, The New York Times reports that Islamic militants have joined with Ukraine's far-right and neo-Nazi battalions to fight ethnic Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine. It appears that no combination of violent extremists is too wretched to celebrate as long as they're killing Russ-kies.

The article by Andrew E. Kramer reports that there are now three Islamic battalions "deployed to the hottest zones," such as around the port city of Mariupol. One of the battalions is headed by a former Chechen warlord who goes by the name "Muslim," Kramer wrote, adding:
"The Chechen commands the Sheikh Mansur group, named for an 18th-century Chechen resistance figure. It is subordinate to the nationalist Right Sector, a Ukrainian militia. ... Right Sector ... formed during last year's street protests in Kiev from a half-dozen fringe Ukrainian nationalist groups like White Hammer and the Trident of Stepan Bandera.

"Another, the Azov group, is openly neo-Nazi, using the 'Wolf's Hook' symbol associated with the [Nazi] SS. Without addressing the issue of the Nazi symbol, the Chechen said he got along well with the nationalists because, like him, they loved their homeland and hated the Russians."

Comment: These cheerleaders for murder journalists are utterly depraved.


Comment: Ukraine serves as a corridor for ISIS on its way through to Europe and Russia. Thanks "War on Terror"!

The globalists are hurtling humanity into World War III before the American sheeple wake up

If you think the globalists are pushing pedal to the metal now, you're absolutely right! Rapid acceleration toward their one world government has humanity on a fateful collision course to Armageddon. Just look at the unfolding events in 2015 so far with barely half the year over. The Charlie Hebdo attack in January came right after France moved to recognize a sovereign Palestinian state. Clearly Hebdo was a false flag payback that only escalated movement toward more Orwellian tyranny and draconian police state oppression, not only in France but around the world.

Hebdo's aftermath in Paris with world leaders gathered arm-in-arm flanked by a duped million plus strong waving their false freedom flags reeked of foul stench - a hideous pretense of staged mockery defiance. The pathetic irony is the very same terrorist acts they were protesting against are regularly and deceitfully perpetrated by those very same international crime cabal leaders who diabolically profit from their state-sponsored terrorism. Afterwards their ratings in popularity only surge (in the wake of the recent South Carolina mass killing, Obama recorded his highest approval ratings of over 50% since 2013) while their corrupt power only tightens the NWO noose of absolute control around the necks of the global masses as their treasonous leaders celebrate arm-in-arm liberty's death march.

Comment: You are not supposed to know all this. Just reading the above article is, in the eyes of those engineering all the described events, an act of insurrection. Let them think so. Screw them. They are the transgressors - not you. You weren't put on this earth to acquiesce to the forces of entropy and psychopathy; suffering, death and mass destruction... Feeling powerless? That's what they want. But know that Knowledge of this horrible state of affairs on our planet is power. Yes it's depressing as all hell, but you can channel it into constructive acts; you can see it for what it is and choose to respond creatively and in a way that feels right to you. For now that may just mean getting your house in order while you still can and bracing yourselves and those you love with the deepest of care. And that's just fine. Remember to breathe - and that there are others who see and feel as you do. We, as individuals, are not alone in this.

German missile battery receives orders from... unknown 'hackers' - report

The German Patriot air and missile defense systems, stationed at the Turkish border with Syria, have carried out "unexplained" commands allegedly issued by unknown hackers, according to a German media report since rebutted by the government.

The US-produced missile systems, belonging to the German Bundeswehr armed forces and based on the territory of NATO ally Turkey since 2013, have been compromised, according to a report in the German Behörden Spiegel.

As a result, the systems, consisting of six launchers and two radars, reportedly carried out "unexplained" orders, the publication claimed, providing no further information on the kind of commands.

A spokesman for the Federal Department of Defense however rebutted the report on Tuesday, saying that "there is no base data" for an extremely improbable attack, Die Welt newspaper reported.

According to the magazine, there could be two weak spots in the system, which was first used by the US army over 30 years ago. The first one is the Sensor-Shooter-Interoperability (SSI), which stands for the information exchange between the missile launcher and its control system. Another weakness could be in computer chips, which are responsible for the guidance of the weapon.

Compromising military systems is not something that an amateur hacking group would have the skills to do, or would want to admit doing, believes computer security consultant and former UK-based computer hacker Robert Jonathan Schifreen. He told RT that the "unexplained" commands from the hackers mentioned in the report, while "certainly worrying," could not possibly be anything of much significance.

The company a man keeps: Is Varoufakis an EU trojan horse?

Varoufakis: An corporate elitist wolf in sheep's clothing?
Something stinks very bad about Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis and the entire Greek mess that has been playing out since the election victory of the nominally pro-Greek Syriza Party in January. I am coming to the reluctant conclusion that far from being the champion of the hapless Greek people, Varoufakis is part of a far larger and very dirty game.

The brilliant psychologist Eric Berne, author of the seminal book Games People Play, would likely call the game of Varoufakis and the Troika, "Rapo," as in the rape of the Greek people and, ultimately of all the EU, Germany included. How do I come to this surprising conclusion?

When the left-right coalition was elected by a Greek population desperate for change from the several years of austerity, pension cuts, health and education cuts demanded by the IMF in order to insure that Greek creditors be repaid their pound of flesh in terms of state debt, I was among many who held out hope that finally a government that stood for the interests of her people was in office in Athens.

What we have witnessed since is what can only be called a clown show, one in which the laugh is on the Greek people and EU citizens as a whole. The ones laughing, as often is so, are the mega banks and Troika - ECB, IMF and EU. Behind the Troika, almost invisible, are the Greek oligarchs who have robbed the state coffers of hundreds of billions over the years, tucking it away in numbered Swiss and Lichtenstein secret bank accounts, avoiding paying a single penny tax to support their nation. And it is looking more and more as though the "leftist" economist, Varoufakis's role is that of a Trojan Horse for the destruction of the entire Eurozone by the bankers and those Greek oligarchs. Next after Greece Italy looks poised to become victim, and that will put the entire Euro in a crisis that is today unimaginable.

Comment: This is a an interesting point of view given that Yanis Varoufakis rather precipitously resigned after the Greek referendum handed the EU a resounding 'NO'. The reason offered was that the EU negotiators did not want him at the table when discussing the fall-out of the vote. Perhaps he did not want to be present to shoulder part of the blame should the EU prevail, entrapping Greece in new chains?

Reign of Terror: Explosives stolen from French army base in unusual security breach

Explosives have been stolen from a munitions base in the south of France. Around 200 detonators and explosives were taken from the facility in the town of Miramas. The theft comes despite an increase in security after two major terrorist attacks in 2015.

Explosives, along with 180 detonators and 40 grenades were snatched from the complex, which is around 60 kilometers northeast of Marseille. Investigators are still trying to find out the full extent of the raid and haven't ruled out that more explosives could be missing. The theft was first spotted at the 200-acre base, used as a logistics center for France's foreign operations, on Monday.

Comment: Although these particular explosives may never be used in any future terror attack, it's hard to not notice that such incidents provide useful 'precedents' that could plausibly explain any future terror attacks.

So the media narrative, in the event of revelation that ISIS or whoever used French-made explosives, would go something like this:
'They used our own military-grade explosives against us? Ah, that's because they must have stolen them from us. Remember back when...'

UN's food program pushes for new forms of genetic engineering...all for the good of humanity, of course

The UN's World Food Program, funded by world governments, NGOs and corporations like Yum! Brands and Cargill, finds that there's just too much hunger in the world, so no one should protest a novel form of genetic engineering that involves blipping out genes which in effect can modify plant, animal and human genomes.

That's right - just like in the last five decades WFP has been around to receive billions for aid, there's a crisis of hunger and overpopulation that requires urgent action - no time for testing. This time it is genome sequence alteration in order to...feed the hungry? They know it is dangerous but they want the rest of the globe to accept their experimentation of it on the world's ecology and humanity.

People do not stop and think much about the contradictory nature of a UN relief group's open repulsion toward population and their insistence on helping people (that they don't want) - even though the countries they help tend to further devolve into destabilization, displacement, and impoverishment. But I digress...

Comment: The world is full of humanitarian, do-gooder organizations that would like nothing better than to help us all into an early grave.

Netanyahu orders EU leaders to support UN resolution against Israel - they spinelessly comply

Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron (L) and his Israeli overseer Benjamin Netanyahu (R).
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has urged several European leaders to support a UN report, even though it slammed Israel's actions in Gaza, a report by the London-based Jewish Chronicle says.

The Israeli prime minister's office rang British Prime Minister David Cameron on July 3. Cameron had planned to support Israel's stance on the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) report, but was asked to change his stance, as Israel believed it was a considerably watered-down version of a previous report that was to be published, the newspaper reported.


Comment: Riiiight. "Asked." If this report was watered-down, that's saying something. In other words, the reality is even worse. And Bibi knows it.


One source told the newspaper: "We thought this was extraordinary, to put it mildly, but decided to do as Israel asked."


Comment: Just like they always do! What studious little lily-livered foot-stools.


The Israeli prime minister apparently phoned German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other "key allies" ahead of the vote, the Jewish Chronicle also said.

Comment: "Tell us, Oh Bibi, which way should we vote?"
