SOTT Focus: Iraqis murder U.S. soldiers on the battlefield while Freddie Gray murders himself in a police van

Image
It's the first of its kind they say, and I believe them. For all of recorded history, when soldiers of one country invaded and occupied another, deaths among the invading forces were accepted as 'casualties of war', not homicides. A soldier on active duty in a war zone couldn't be 'murdered'. At least until now. This week, a British national, Anis Abid Sardar from north-west London, has gone on trial for the 'murder' of Sergeant First Class Randy Johnson in roadside attack outside Baghdad in 2007.

SOTT Focus: Behind the Headlines: Babylon, Ancient Rome and the American Empire

Image
Corruption, lies, manipulation and murder on a massive scale. These words describe the modern American Empire, what it has done and what it continues to do today. But has the American Empire, like many before it, extended its hubris too far and is its collapse imminent? Russia stands alone as the only major nation attempting to throw off the shackles of a unipolar world, assert its independence from the Empire and bring some balance back to our global society. Can Putin and co. succeed in bringing some long-overdue justice to an unjust world? And if not, is there still hope for some retribution from a 'higher power'?

This week on Behind the Headlines, we explored the nature and fate of the Roman Empire, and its parallels to our modern world, with historian Laura Knight-Jadczyk.

SOTT Focus: EMF pollution - What is EMF?

This article is part of a series of articles that will start with some background, proceed through a detailed description of man-made sources of EMF, discuss past study results, and finish with what you can do to measure your EMF exposure, and what steps you can take to minimize it.

What becomes a chronic disease condition, no doubt, has many potential causes including genetics, deficient diet, toxin exposure, and even repressed emotional expression. Research over the past two decades has mounted in support of adding Electromagnetic Field (EMF) exposure to the top-level list of chronic disease causes (including genome damage). It is likely that a chronic disease condition results from a unique and individual combination of these top-level causes, so EMF exposure should be considered in the context of other source causes as suggested in Figure 1.

SOTT Focus: US-backed Azov battalion crucifies and burns man alive in Ukraine

Image
The pro-Kiev, ultra-Nazi Azov battalion in Ukraine has allegedly sent a snuff film depicting the brutal execution of a Ukrainian 'separatist' to militia fighters and hackers from the hacktivist collective known as Cyber Berkut. The video, shown below, is graphic, so be warned. It shows a group of armed men holding down a gagged man on a cross, tying him to it with duct tape. Nails are then hammered through the palms of his hands, the man's screams audible through the gag. While the actual nailing is not shown, the camera then moves in to show the nails in his hands. Then the cross is lifted, set in the ground, and the base is lit. The video cuts out as the fast-rising flames meet the crucified man's feet.

According to Cyber Berkut, the video had an accompanying message, stating the the footage was filmed near the village of Shirokino and warning that all separatists - 'traitors' to Ukraine - would face the same fate.

Cyber Berkut has been releasing leaked documents, audio, and video for the past year or so. They're the ones who released the phone call between EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Catherine Ashton and Foreign Minister of Estonia Urmas Paet, in which they discuss the Maidan snipers. (You can see a list of some of their leaks on Wikipedia.) The video was then publicized by LifeNews in Russia, who confirmed its authenticity. LifeNews tends to be rather sensationalistic, but that does not necessarily imply the video is a fake.

SOTT Focus: Behind the Headlines: Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Wars, Migrants, Political Psychos

Sott Talk Radio logo
Can you feel it? Can you See it? Our world continues its precipitous downward slide into increasing chaos and madness. ISIS is exposed, once and for all, as a proxy tool of Saudi/US warmongers in Yemen. Nepal is hit by a devastating earthquake that kills thousands in Kathmandu, and Chile's Calbuco erupts, as the 'West' celebrates the 100th anniversary of the deliberately planned slaughter of 140,000 allied soldiers in the battle of Gallipoli in 1915. 250,000 turkish soldiers also died, but they're not so important. Up to 900 people, including 50 children, drowned when the boat in which they were travelling capsized in the Mediterranean as it made its way from NATO-destroyed Libya to Italy. Wild weather continues all over, from unprecedented storms in Sydney, to severe storms across the US mid-South. Chaos isn't coming, it's here. Are you paying attention?

SOTT Focus: The Truth Perspective: Tammi Stefano - The Truth About Child Protective Services

Sott Talk Radio logo
This week, on the Truth Perspective, we discussed the recent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that have been menacing the planet over the past weeks, along with the strange portents of the births of disfigured humans and animals.

On the second part of the show, the Truth Perspective interviewed Tammi Stefano, Executive Director of The National Safe Child Coalition (NSCC). Tammi has spent over two decades on frontlines fighting for child safety and serves on numerous committees aimed at protecting children from their abusers, who are often those who should be protecting them in the first place. We discussed the darker side of child protective services, the deep problems of corruption when it comes to children at risk, and what can be done.

SOTT Focus: Behind the Headlines: Hidden History - 70th Anniversary of World War Two

Sott Talk Radio logo
In a couple of weeks' time, commemorative events will be held in Russia and Europe to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of 'the Second World War'. Barely 20 years following 'the Great War (to end all wars)', World War II, or the 'Great Patriotic War' as it's known in Russia and the former Soviet Republics, left some 80 million people dead (including civilians who died as a result of war-related disease and famine). The largest number of casualties suffered by any one country was Russia, with some 30 million deaths.

Since then, children in Western countries have been taught that a US and UK-led coalition defeated the Nazis (and Imperial Japan) to save the world from fascism and secure a better world for all. But is this the whole story? Was the sudden emergence of a post-war geopolitical balance-of-power that transformed the USSR from ally to enemy - and the US from 'reluctant participant' to global superpower - merely an accident of fate? As we try to understand the current global chaos, we need to ask; what crucial details and context have been excised from the history books?

Today on Behind the Headlines, we look back at this mass outbreak of insanity to explore its causes, historical comparisons, and consequences. We're live this Sunday, April 19th 2015, from 2-4pm EST / 11am-1pm PST / 7-9pm UTC / 8-10pm CET
