Imperialist Meddling: France triggered slaughter in Africa

French soldiers fire tear gas as they attempt to contain a demonstration calling for the departure of French forces.
As the Central African Republic descends into a charnel house of mass killing, hunger and fleeing refugees, one country bears full responsibility for the catastrophe - France.

This week, France's defence minister Jean-Yves Le Drian had the brass neck to tour the former French colony where hundreds of people - mainly Muslims - have been lynched in the streets in recent weeks, their corpses left to rot along the roadsides.

Thousands more have been burnt out of their homes and have fled to the jungles for refuge from inter-communal clashes. A Muslim man happened to fall off a truck ferrying refugees from the violence. He was then beaten, hacked to death by a frenzied mob on the street below.

An entire country has been turned upside down, and that chaos and suffering is all down to French imperialist meddling.

Le Drian had the nerve to claim that the dispatch of French troops to the Central African Republic in early December "had prevented even more deaths from occurring". How dare the French minister distort the facts and exonerate his country from the cold-blooded mass murder and an unfolding humanitarian crisis that it - and it alone - has triggered.

Free-dumb and Democrazi: Ukraine MPs vote for release of ex-PM and gas billionaire Tymoshenko, along with a return to 2004 CIA-imposed constitution

The Ukrainian parliament has voted in favor of a bill that will allow the release from jail of the former Ukrainian prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko. 310 MPs have voted to decriminalize the article of the Ukrainian law defining the charges under which Tymoshenko is serving her term. The former Ukrainian PM was sentenced to 7 years in prison for abuse of office during the signing of the January 2009 natural gas imports contract with Russia.


Comment: Yulia Tymoshenko was charged with abuse of power and embezzlement and sentenced to seven years in jail in October 2011.

Her supporters claim that she was charged and sentenced under current president Yanukovych but the investigation that led to her imprisonment was launched at the behest of her former ally, Yushchenko, with whom she led the CIA's 2004 'orange revolution'.

Investigators concluded that Ukraine suffered losses of 310 million euros due to Tymoshenko's ten-year dodgy gas deal with Russia.

Before Tymoshenko was sentenced for her controversial gas deal in October 2011, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) re-opened another criminal case which had been scrapped in 2005.

Between 1995 and 1997 during her time as head of Ukraine's then largest natural gas importer, United Energy Systems of Ukraine (UESU), the "gas princess" allegedly embezzled 405.5 million dollars in cooperation with Pavlo Lazarenko, who was Ukrainian Prime Minister at the time.

Lazarenko plays also a central role in the latest and most interesting criminal case against Tymoshenko, the 1996 murder of Ukrainian oligarch Yevhen Shcherban.

This is the kind of 'leader' that the US and EU would like to see in power in Ukraine, because they share so many 'interests'. And this is the kind of leader the Ukraine will have, the wishes or interests of the Ukrainian people be damned.

The US state department and EU would like to thank the dozens of Ukrainian citizens who gave their lives so that the US state department and EU could use their sacrifice to manipulate the world and push through an elitist political agenda that will ensure the Ukrainian people are screwed for decades to come.

Flashback Will the U.S. economy crash March 4, 2014?

America's fall will take global economies with it

Those wild and crazy Mayans put down their marker that the end of the world would occur on Dec. 21, 2012 - about two months from now. There is, of course, some small chance that they might be right. On the other hand, there is a very large probability that the real end of the world will occur around March 4, 2014.

The doomsday clock will ring then because the U.S. economy may fully crash around that date, which will, in turn, bring down all world economies and all hope of any recovery for the foreseeable future - certainly over the course of most of our lifetimes.

Interest rates will skyrocket, businesses will fail, unemployment will go to record levels, material and food shortages will be rampant, and there could be major social unrest.

Any wishful thinking that America is in a "recovery" and that "things are getting better" is an illusion.

French ZOG predictably censors Dieudonne, Quenelle

"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act." -- George Orwell

Dieudonne M'bala M'bala, the heroic Afro-French comedian who popularized the anti-establishment gesture known as the "quenelle", has been ordered by the Jewish-controlled French government to remove "sections of a YouTube video in which" the renegade comedian and activist "celebrates the quenelle salute," according to the Jewish Telegraph Agency.

The JTA reports:
The Court of Grands Instances in its ruling Wednesday said one of the passages violated French law against Holocaust denial and another was incitement to racial hatred.

The video has been widely condemned as anti-Semitic, as has the gesture created by Dieudonne.

The Union of Jewish Students of France, or UEJF, last month asked the court to order the removal of the video posted Dec. 31 by Dieudonne, who has been convicted seven times for inciting racial hatred against Jews. In the video, Dieudonne declares that 2014 will be "the year of the quenelle."

France's interior minister, Manuel Valls, said in December that the gesture was a "salute of anti-Semitic hatred." Some say it is simply an anti-establishment gesture.

The comedian was given five days to remove the passages or face a penalty of nearly $700 per day that they are left online, according to the French news service AFP.

More than 3.5 million people had seen the video when the case was filed.
I believe this is the video the Jews and their puppets controlling the French government are demanding Dieudonne remove:

Western powers back neo-nazi coup in Ukraine


Executive Intelligence Review

Western nations, led by the European Union and the Obama Administration, are backing an outright neo-Nazi regime-change coup in Ukraine. If the effort succeeds, the consequences will extend far beyond the borders of Ukraine and neighboring states. For Russia, such a coup would constitute a casus belli, coming as it does in the context of NATO missile defense expansion into Central Europe and the evolution of a U.S.-NATO doctrine of "Prompt Global Strike," which presumes that the United States can launch a pre-emptive first strike against Russia and China and survive the retaliation.

The events in Ukraine constitute a potential trigger for a global war that could rapidly and easily escalate to a thermonuclear war of extinction. At this weekend's Munich Security Conference, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had a heated public exchange with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, in which the latter accused Russia of "bellicose rhetoric" and Lavrov responded by citing the European missile defense program as an attempt to secure a nuclear first-strike capability against Russia.

In his formal remarks at Munich and a week earlier at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, Lavrov also assailed Western governments for supporting neo-Nazi terrorist organizations in their zeal to place Ukraine under European Union and Troika control to tighten the NATO noose around Russia.

If anything, Lavrov understated the case.

"Manufacturing Consent": Bernard-Henri Lévy, the "new philosopher" selling military adventures of the global elite

Bernard-Henri Lévy speaking to the mob gathered on Kyiv’s Maidan on February 9, 2014.
Zealous French intellectual Bernard-Henri Levi visited the maidan in Kiev on February 9 to deliver another fiery harangue. The next day the article Bernard-Henri Levi: We're all Ukrainians (Bernard-Henri Lévy: «Nous sommes tous des Ukrainiens») saw light published by Parisian Le Monde. In his fervor Ukrainian Levi he called Yulia Timoshenko the Dame of Kiev (meaning Yulia Timoshenko who is behind bars at present). I can hardly imagine what Oleh Tyahnybok, another passionate maidan supporter, or Victor Yanukovych thought having heard these bold words spoken by someone born to an Algerian Jewish family. But I'm glad to see one more proof of the fact that the French are reasonable people. The article of «new Ukrainian» was followed by many virulent comments like «We've been Libyans, now we are Ukrainians. Could we just be French, is it so hard?»

Yes, it is hard in the case of Bernard Henri-Levi. He's kind of a human brand. For Europeans he has been a patented stimulant for dozens of years. 65 years old, he has shot a few films and published around twenty books, he became famous as a leader of the «New Philosophers» (Nouveaux Philosophes) movement that reached the peak of popularity in France in the last century, but went out of fashion as any intellectual product which offers nothing but extravagance. He owes his popularity to the fact that Levi is seen as a man of Messiah in some circles.

Switzerland votes a narrow 'yes' to cap EU immigration

Switzerland has voted 50.3 percent in favor of limiting annual migration from the EU, thus ending the policy of free movement within the bloc that was established in 2002.

Swiss voters narrowly decided that immigration quotas would be reintroduced, thereby overturning the free movement policy introduced in the European Union 12 years ago. Early results showed the country to be very divided in opinion over the 'Stop mass immigration' initiative.

'Stop mass immigration' was introduced by the nationalist Swiss People's Party (SVP). Its goal is to introduce annual quotas on the number of foreign workers entering the country. The result will likely vex multinational companies based there; Roche, Novartis, UBS, and other industry giants frequently utilize foreign labor.

Venezuela: Shunned by the Left?

Michael Albert

About a month ago I had a discussion with a prominent progressive media publisher. During our chat he told me he thought Z diverse progressive media institutions that aggregate content from around the internet routinely ignore Z content or reprint it only when they can link to it from somewhere other than Z.

I replied the problem had a long history and had to do largely with positions we had taken over the years that have annoyed others. In the early days Z elevated race, gender, and power to importance equal to economy and class. Then, that was a sacrilege. Similarly, our views on the Mideast were also reviled, back then. These reasons have pretty much disappeared, however, as the views are in the first case nearly universal, and in the second, quite acceptable.

Not long after, it became our views about fund raising that isolated us. That still exists, but again, given changed times - it is not so great a factor, any more. Next our commitments to self management, equitable remuneration, and what we call balanced job complexes as preconditions of alternative media irked others.

The media publisher agreed that perhaps the commitments are part of the problem - but he wasn't attuned to all that. He was confident, however, about another factor. He felt my trips to Venezuela, my articles about Venezuela, and in general Z's continuing coverage and commentary regarding events and projects in Venezuela, were devestatingly harmful to Z's image on the left. Our interest in Venezuela had lead, he felt, to a kind of ghettoization. This took me by surprise. I thought such a dynamic would be just too sectarian and, really, too politically ridiculous, to be true.

Unlike what the media says or implies, the violence in Venezuela is being perpetrated by the opposition

The slant of the Venezuelan private media and the international media on what is happening in Venezuela is clear: The government is responsible for the violence. In the first place government-ordered gunmen are shooting at pacific demonstrators and the violence generated by the opposition is just a response to the brutality of police and military forces. But there is considerable evidence that shows that the violence, including that of unidentified motorcyclists against the demonstrators, is being carried out by the opposition. Consider the following:

1. Violent actions have been carried out by the opposition since the time of the 2002 coup. The "guarimba" which means urban violence (or "foquismo") was publicly advocated by opposition leaders in 2003-2004 as the only way to prevent the establishment of a dictatorial regime in Venezuela.

2. On April 11, 2002, the day Chávez was overthrown, the Venezuelan and international media and the White House used juxtaposition of images of Chavistas shooting pistols in downtown Caracas, on the one hand, and peaceful anti-government demonstrators, on the other to justify the coup. However the Irish-produced documentary "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" and other documentaries demonstrated by the flow of the camera that the demonstrators were far away from the Chavistas and that they were shooting in response to sniper fire against them. If snipers were responsible for the 15-20 killings (of opposition demonstrators along with Chavistas) that justified the coup of April 2002, is there any reason to doubt that the unidentified individuals who are attacking demonstrators are not acting on behalf of sectors of the opposition?

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has again called for dialogue, as part of a national peace plan.

Maduro urged for more talks with student groups, stating he is open to "constructive dialogue to define key issues" during an address to the country last night.

"I'm making a new proposal. Come here, let's talk...we want peace," the president stated.

Earlier this week the government issued a call for student groups to meet with Vice President Jorge Arreaza in the capital, Caracas. The talks were intended to be part of a "plan of living together and peace".

"We have to be builders of peace," he stated.

Maduro also called for a meeting of state governors next Monday. A previous call went largely unnoticed by the opposition. Yesterday the president urged opposition governors including Miranda's Henrique Capriles to "not continue shunning their work, to talk about what is needed in the states, to talk about peace".
