Puppet Masters
Polischuk was released on bail on June 23. He was greeted upon release by a crowd of Right Sector members. Bail of five 5 million hryvnia (US$230,000) was paid by Oleksiy Tamrazov, owner of the media conglomerate Media Group and one of the wealthiest oil/gas businessmen in Ukraine.

Both men are in their mid-20s. Korrespondent reported that a third suspect had been arrested. He was later released without charge.
"The revelations made by the WikiLeaks website seem to be very serious," she said. "This eavesdropping poses a direct threat to our national independence, sovereignty and security."
Comment: Le Pen is stating the obvious and shouldn't be surprised at the WikiLeaks revelations.
She said with regret that the EU has extended sanctions against Russia, adding that "Russia will introduce its retaliatory, adequate and measured counter-sanctions" and the Russian government is currently working on this.
Comment: Looks like cooler heads prevail in Russia to counter US/NATO/EU aggression.
"The government has addressed a letter to me asking to extend the measures that we had taken in response to the actions of our partners from several countries," Putin said. "Today, in accordance with this letter, I have signed a decree on extending certain special economic measures in order to ensure the safety of the Russian Federation," he said asking the government to prepare and publish a corresponding decree as soon as possible.
Comment: These counter-sanctions are going to hurt Europe. Maybe Putin should have a look at this article about the UN Charter enemy state status.
The hegemony long enjoyed by Washington, with the support of its allies, is now being challenged by a multipolar consensus around the world. In this multipolar world, every state enjoys parity, equal respect, and security under international law; and national sovereignty is returned to the status of an inalienable right, as enshrined in the UN Charter, rather than being a gift in the hands of the United States, the EU and NATO.
In response to a question on the deteriorating relations between Moscow and Washington, Russia's President Vladimir Putin said: "We do not act aggressively. We have started to defend our interests more persistently and consistently."
Comment: It is always when you think you own the game board, the checkmate is right around the corner.
Since the end of WW II none of the G-4, that is China, UK, USA, and the USSR / Russia have taken steps to abolish the Enemy State Clause from the Charter of the United Nations. The UN Charter still designates Italy, Japan and Germany as enemy States to the United Nations. This fact is generally omitted from the public political discourse; that is, both in the G-4 nations as well as in Italy, Japan and Germany.
The implications and the lack of the sovereignty (e.g. the jus ad bellum) are, arguably, one of the greatest obstacles with regard to achieving a lasting Asian and European peace. A few examples should amply demonstrate why.
Comment: This UN Charter clause sure sheds some light on the geopolitical maneuverings we are witnessing.
The 1,176-page "Department of Defense Law of War Manual" explains that shooting, exploding, bombing, stabbing, or cutting the enemy are acceptable ways of getting the job done, but the use of poison or asphyxiating gases is not allowed.
Surprise attacks and killing retreating troops have also been given the green light.
But the lengthy manual doesn't only talk about protocol for those on the frontline. It also has an extensive section on journalists - including the fact that they can be labeled terrorists.
"In general, journalists are civilians. However, journalists may be members of the armed forces, persons authorized to accompany the armed forces, or unprivileged belligerents," the manual states.
The term "unprivileged belligerents" replaces the Bush-era term "unlawful enemy combatant."
The Israeli Radio reported that the rocket landed in an open area between two towns.
Breaking: rocket was launched from the Gaza Strip to Southern Israel. Sirens sounded in Zikim, Karmia, Netiv HaAsara and Yad Mordechai

Political power - armed central authority, with states and war - is it really necessary for human society? Or is it a tool that ruling elites use to live at the expense of society? Engines of Domination offers a theory of political power as a tool for making tools of human beings.
In a remarkable document, which is not posted at the English version of the website of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, but which is widely reported outside the United States, including Russia, Poroshenko, in Ukrainian (not in English), has petitioned the Constitutional Court of Ukraine (as it is being widely quoted in English):
"I ask the court to acknowledge that the law 'on the removal of the presidential title from Viktor Yanukovych' as unconstitutional."
I had previously reported, and here will excerpt, Poroshenko's having himself admitted prior to 26 February 2014, to the EU's investigator, and right after the February 22nd overthrow of Yanukovych, that the overthrow was a coup, and that it was even a false-flag operation, in which the snipers, who were dressed as if they were Ukrainian Security Bureau troops, were actually not, and that, as the EU's investigator put his finding to the EU's chief of foreign affairs Catherine Ashton [and with my explanatory annotations here]:
"the same oligarch [Poroshenko — and so when he became President he already knew this] told that well, all the evidence shows that the people who were killed by snipers, from both sides, among policemen and people from the streets, [this will shock Ashton, who had just said that Yanukovych had masterminded the killings] that they were the same snipers, killing people from both sides [so, Poroshenko himself knows that his regime is based on a false-flag U.S.-controlled coup d'etat against his predecessor]. ... Behind the snipers, it was not Yanukovych, but it was somebody from the new coalition."
Comment: Very interesting turn of events if true!
