The story of Jonathan, Ode to an Immigrant

The story of Jonathan, Ode to an Immigrant. 55188.jpeg

Let us call him Jonathan, a young man, twenty-seven years of age, a son, a father, a brother, a husband, a friend whose destiny was to lie under a grave somewhere in Southern Europe marked Nr. 247 May 2015 Mediterranean Sea. Let us call him a victim, not an immigrant. Let us not allow the mantle of anonymity to cloak Jonathan's story forever.

Let us call him Jonathan for we do not know his real name - he had no documents when he was forced to jump into the sea when 150 meters off the Italian coast without a life jacket and unable to swim, although he had informed those who took his entire family's one thousand dollars life savings of the fact and had been assured safe passage to the Italian coast. The result?

Jonathan was found face-down in the Mediterranean Sea, wearing beige trousers, brown slip-on shoes, dark-brown socks, khaki shirt and black belt, drowned, lying motionless among pieces of driftwood, plastic bags, a plastic bottle, the head of a plastic doll... twenty-four hours after the terrifying ordeal which was to take his life.

They say the last thing we see before we die is flashes of our own life. I wonder what Jonathan's were.

The first day at primary school, a day of great excitement, the first step towards an education which would be the key to a better life and future, and from this very first day at school came the deep sense of responsibility he always felt towards his younger siblings. The responsibility to take care of them if anything happened to their parents, the responsibility to place food on their tables at the end of the day, the responsibility to care for his sisters.

Another flash was the first day at secondary school, followed by his high school graduation but before this a long string of jobs, sometimes two or three at a time, to help his parents feed the family, to help buy school materials for his siblings. The flash of that day when he met the girl who would become his wife, the birth of their first child, a daughter, finishing his technical course as a machinist, enabling him to apply for better paid jobs.

The visit of a former neighbor who was working in Germany and who was the first to sell Jonathan the dream of emigrating to Europe to find untold riches. He didn't tell Jonathan how he had made his money but he did tell him that if he paid two hundred dollars to someone he would introduce Jonathan to another person who would set him up for a trip to Europe for a further thousand.

The flash when his grandfather handed over five hundred dollars, his entire life's savings, which Jonathan added to his own money and that he had borrowed from his mother, cousins, uncles and aunts, godfather, godmother, friends and neighbors. The last night at home with his wife, who had bought him the beige and khaki clothes he was wearing, his "clothes for Europe", which would be his shroud.

The nightmare journey across the Sahara desert, during which three of their group of twenty-one died in the sands, the trip across Libya encountering increasingly hostile and dangerous individuals who called him names in Arabic, who spat at him, who beat him with sticks before forcing him to live in a twenty-square-meter room with ten other migrants, not seeing the sunlight for two months, eating stale rice, no sanitation, no running water, each and every one of them sick with diarrhea.

The elation and relief at being called that night at eleven o'clock with the words, "OK it's time now", being herded on a creaking vessel stinking of oil, telling the pilot he could not swim and asking for a life jacket, only to be laughed at and told to sit down and shut up. The journey across the sea to Europe, the lights far off in the distance...and the instruction to jump overboard and swim for it.

The panic as he screamed yet again that he did not know how to swim. The flurry of arms and flailing legs, the gasps for air then that long, long, long, slow, steady drink of cool water slipping down, down, down, under the water, Jonathan's dreams sold down to the sea bed along with the crabs eagerly waiting to eat every slither of his flesh.

Jonathan's last flash was the face of his daughter smiling at daddy as he went away to Europe to find a new future for his family, the key to prosperity, happiness, a stable job in a stable environment in which they could live together as a family in dignity.

His wife and daughter are waiting patiently at home for his first letter which will never come. She tells the little girl that daddy will call them when he has a job and they will go to him. They probably will.

As she sings the little girl to sleep, the lullabies take the child to dreamland where she finds her father welcoming her with open arms, smiling and telling her he is all right. Jonathan is lying face-down in the Mediterranean Sea, wearing the beige trousers, brown slip-on shoes, dark-brown socks, khaki shirt and black belt his wife gave him only last month... drowned, lying motionless among pieces of driftwood, plastic bags, a plastic bottle, the head of a plastic doll...

His story is not and must not be one of failure and his life was not in vain because Jonathan's life story will remind others that the world needs to change. We are all Jonathan.

Why the West prefers Hitler to Putin

 

Why the West prefers Hitler to Putin. Vladimir Putin

By Nicolas Bonnal

According to the Koran, it was on a Tuesday that Allah created darkness.

Gore Vidal

 

We perfectly understand that Vladimir Putin does not need any counsel from anyone. As John Mearsheimer asserted, he is a world-class strategist and maybe the greater politician of the twenty-first century, being the main attraction and the great enemy of western chaotic camarilla...

Yet it is important to remind the actual foolishness of the West, given that the hostile elite who rule Europe and United States have gone completely insane. The global elite have helped the Islamic terror anywhere in the world, in Russia, in China, in Middle East, in Libya, in Iraq, in Syria. We have hundred of evidences now. The terrorist networks are controlled, designed, financed and armed by western agencies. So were the leftist or rightist terrorists during the Gladio Era in Europe (see for instance Danielle Ganser and her book on Gladio). The French Government has become completely submitted to the petro-monarchies of the Gulf and Islamism is reinforced anywhere in Europe, threatening what is left of our liberties. 

And having done that mess in the Mediterranean area, the West is going now to threaten and maybe wage a suicidal war against Russia. Many politicians form Baltic countries who want that war with Russia are merely Americans: see the biographies of Baltic politicians.

Vaira Vīķe-Freiberga, Dalia Grybauskaitė, the mad dog Thomas Hendricks Ilves: all were born and/or educated in America, not in Europe. And the hostile elite in Europe, made of itinerant scholars and wrecked politicians, is nowadays more Anglo-American than European, except in Germany.

But as we know, this country has still something to settle with Russia. Now even Emmanuel Todd believes in France in what I called the American-German lebensraum. 

The West (the Nazis too called themselves the West during the war) implicitly recognizes the foundations and reasons of Nazism, when Hitler decided to invade and destroy Russia. Today the victory of May 45 is no more a feast in the west. The West had decided it preferred western fascism to Soviet Union, or to put more bluntly, Hitler to Putin.

This is the world we live in.  Western democracies hit by Leo Strauss and his neocons, by post-modernity and chaotic values, by incoherence and stupidity, prefer the rascals of the Jihad to the honest Muslims and neo-Nazism to a democratic Russia. As we say in France the extremes get closer, and the hyper-tolerance of the decadent West had to come to this barbarity, to this meta-political oxymoron.

Nazism is good because it is against Russia. Terrorism is good it is because against Islam. Mujahidin are good because they are against Soviet Union. Ask Brzezinski. Ask the nutty professor.

Three years ago, I began writing for Pravda.ru, mainly because the aggression on Libya seemed to me rich of gloomy and gruesome consequences. Western brutality became unpredictable and sudden, ruthless and cruel, tyrannical and disastrous. Yet the elite, reporters, military, tycoons, deputies, all accepted the attack which resulted on thousand of dead and the destabilization of Northern Africa, with massacres, poverty and now a new unbearable transfer of population from Black Africa.

Then we came to Syria. Assad was labelled a Nazi, the orthodox Christians were too massacred with the local Muslims, and the civil war encouraged by western insanity. Putin then tried to interfere, but it is like in the movies: don't try to interfere with a terrorist...

It is well to recall with the great American writer Gore Vidal what a terrorist is. To him - and according any good encyclopaedia - a terrorist is simply a government that uses terror, like Robespierre - or later the Bolsheviks - did. This kind of government uses terror against his enemies but mainly against his own population.

I quote this splendid passage:

It is nicely apt that the word terrorist (according to the OED) should have been coined during the French Revolution to describe "an adherent or supporter of the Jacobins, who advocated and practiced methods of partisan repression and bloodshed in the propagation of the principles of democracy and equality."

Although our rulers have revived the word to describe violent enemies of the United States, most of today's actual terrorists can be found within our own governments, federal, state, municipal. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (known as ATF), the Drug Enforcement Agency, FBI, IRS, etc., are so many Jacobins at war against the lives, freedom, and property of our citizens.

We can establish then that a terrorist is any western politician who votes laws against his fellow citizens, approves the wars against Afghanistan or Libya and does not go to Moscow to celebrate the victory on Nazism.

That means a lot of people. 

And Gore Vidal concludes sadly:

We complain of terrorism, yet our empire is now the greatest terrorist of all. We bomb, invade, subvert other states. Although We the People of the United States are the sole source of legitimate authority in this land, we are no longer represented in Congress Assembled.

He added to that the worst conspiracy theorists were not on the web but at the power. Who believes that a handful of cavemen from Afghanistan and inexperienced pilots could slam four planes simultaneously on the towers, while there was no visible plane above the Pentagon and while another building, the famous WC7, was crumbling alone? Who are we to believe such media crap?

But Vladimir Putin must understand another factor; western inertia. The modern western audience is very dumb; the modern western audience is fantastically clumsy. On Youtube you check that fact: any song from Lady Gaga is running one million of comments (yes, of comments) and one billion of connexions.

This is why I let ineffable and unmovable Angela Merkel conclude:

Vladimir Putin lives in another world.

Parent Opinion: How A Facebook Post Can Ruin Your Life

Why are people still not learning? 

Poor Kaitlyn Walls. The single mum from Texas was on her way to her new job when she posted to Facebook:

"I start my new job today, but I absolutely hate working at day care. I just really hate being around a lot of kids."

Yeah. So she then lost her job… And got trolled and is now a bucketful of sad.

Why Kaitlyn, why? After months of job-hunting so you could support your young daughter, why would you be so careless? 

And then there are the nasty trolls, who can carry out cowardly, anonymous attacks on people they don’t know behind their screens.

"I had all these girls attacking me because I don't want to be around a lot of kids all the time. I actually cried. It really hurt me because I wasn't trying to offend anybody ever."

The Internet can be a cruel place. An innocent social media post meant for friends can take on a life of it’s own and we should all learn from poor Kaitlyn’s mistake. 

Kaitlyn lost her new job and then posted:

"Oh, man, I made a big mistake. I'm so sad. I feel like a failure here looking at my daughter crying because I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to find a job because of my own stupidity."

Yes I bet you are sad. I also bet you won’t get another job for a while.

This is a great reminder to us all that any picture, post and tweet can be shared with anyone. 

Think before you post, people!

Some questions and answers on Ukraine

Some questions and answers on Ukraine. 55161.jpeg
A Ukrainian western-backed psychopath

Following is a collection of questions posed by westerners against the freedom fighters in Donbass and replies to typical questions levelled against Russia by those who are ignorant of the Ukraine situation.

1. "Why are Donetsk and Luhansk Novorossiya, ' but when a passenger jet crashes in its territory, it is instantly transformed into Ukraine?"

You will have to ask that question to western mainstream media who are the ones guilty of making that mistake and it is a mistake which I am not only correcting there, but also reprimanding Russian media about. It disgustingly seems at times like they are trying to please the west and in these circumstances, I find that reprehensible.

2. "Mercenary activity is a crime in Russia. Why don't 'the militia men'–who come from Russia and are paid for combat not fall under this provision of the law?"

Number one, they are not in Russia, 
Number two, they are volunteers, not mercenaries for pay. 

3. "How can one explain the fact" that Moscow has brought criminal charges [exclusively] against Russian citizens who are fighting for Ukraine but not against Russians who are fighting in Ukraine against the Ukrainian government?

Please provide examples, but do not include those who have committed war crimes. I know of no such policy.

4. Do you consider the use by the [Russian] 'militias' of civilians as human shields something deserving of respect?

The defense forces of Novorossiya do not use civilians as human shields. What are they going to grab their mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, grandparents, their own children?  Don't be ridiculous.  This is just an excuse Kiev uses to justify their deliberately attacking civilians with military hardware. The civilians themselves know they are specifically being targeted by Kiev forces, there are plenty of testimonies for you to see and documents have been found that show the policy of attacking civilians is deliberate. You might also refer to leaders in Kiev who have said right out that it is their intention to kill all who are opposed to their rule.

5. "The war is costing Ukraine several million dollars a day. It is logical to assume that it isn't costing its opponent any less. Do you really think that Russia isn't giving the so-called Novorossiya military and financial help?"

They are given humanitarian assistance by Russia. Private individuals and groups help financially and send needed materials for rebuilding. Most of the equipment has either been obtained through surrender by Kiev forces, abandonment and even selling. Much comes from the vast Soviet reserves that were placed in the country from the old days. The defense forces include former factory and mine workers, engineers, etc. and they have established an enterprise that completely refurbishes damaged military equipment.


Defense forces comprised the backbone of Ukraine industry before the US aggression. I would also remind that when there were floods in the west of the country, Donbass people were quick to send aid and assistance.

Trust my words when I tell you that there has been a massive outpouring of love and concern for our suffering brothers and sisters.

6. "Why is it that everywhere where the so-called militias 'liberate,' there is war? … Why are the so-called [Ukrainian] punitive operations only where there are militia?"

The defense forces are fighting on their own land where they have lived all their lives; where their mothers, fathers, wives, children, grandparents live. Where their ancestors spilled their blood to liberate the land from German Nazis.


There are punitive operations in many areas of Donbass, ask them why they are shelling. Absolutely no Novorossiya defense fighter has ever attacked outside of their own area. You see no attacks on Kiev do you? That is because it is purely defensive on the part of Donbass.

7. "Why must Ukraine hand over to [Russian] band formations territories that legally belong to it? If the Ukrainian military doesn't want to do this, does that make them punitive detachments?"

I have no idea what Russian band formations are. There is no Russian army in Donbass if that's what you're talking about. Those US puppets in Kiev have no claim to anything since they seized power illegally and against the Ukrainian Constitution. Agreement breakers saw to it that the legitimate elections would never take place, thus transforming Ukraine into a US colony.

8. Given the number of times Vladimir Putin has changed his story on Crimea, "is it possible to believe him now when he asserts that there are no Russian forces in the Donbas? If so, then why?"

Yes, believe him because there are no Russian forces in Donbass, only the volunteers who came of their own volition. How did Mr.. Putin change "his story"??? 

The events in Crimea are clearly a matter of the people there being finally granted their wish. Any and all of you are welcome to come to Crimea any time and see for yourselves. Same goes for

Donbass...the door is open to you.

The people who have responded to this invitation have all come back saying exactly what I told you: there are no regular Russian forces in Donbass. The fighters are locals, defending their own land.

Can you tell us why no major western media personalities have accepted this invitation?

9. How would you react if some American said–as Igor "Strelkov" Girkin has–that without their invasion, nothing much would have occurred?

What invasion? When and where did Commander Strelkov say that? There are a lot of distorted versions of what Commander Strelkov has said. There was no invasion so that narrative is questionable. You are aware of the Crimean Russian Naval Base and the legal agreements concerning that base and its
support mechanisms?

10. The Russian defense ministry has promised to provide five million rubles to the families of soldiers who "have died at the Ukrainian border. Are you not interested in why [the details of their deaths] are being hidden from you?"

The fact that this statement is so skewed should clue you in to the fact that someone in Kiev or Washington invented it. If you have proof that has not been fabricated, I would certainly like to see it. Especially in light of the fact of what the hell does "died at the border" mean?? 

Totally senseless. Somebody lost their marbles when they were jumping and whacked themselves on the head, either that or their mothers dropped them on their heads when they were a baby.

11. Given that Moscow forcefully disperses opposition meetings and imprisons its participants on made-up charges, how do you think Vladimir Putin would react if some group seized administration buildings and proclaimed the creation of its own statehood on Russian territory? Would Putin take measures or perhaps sit down with the terrorists "to negotiate" as he demands that Kyiv do?

I am certain that anyone arrested is not imprisoned on "made up charges." Do you realize that the "opposition" in Russia is virtually non-existent? It also comprises individuals on the payroll of Washington who deliberately fail to comply with regulations and laws that guarantee the right to demonstrate and they do this to attract attention to themselves because no one pays attention to them.

When you speak of terrorists seizing government buildings you must define the word TERRORISTS. I know you are trying to accuse the Donbass people of being "terrorists" but they are not. 

They voted for independence from the Washington installed group of thugs in Kiev and it was a matter of self preservation, as opposed to Maidan, where again provocateurs on Washington's payroll acted not for the freedom and well being of Ukrainian people, but for profit and the favors (read money) of Washington and the EU. If Yanukovich was bad (he was neither perfect nor pro-Russian) who you have now is a thousand times worse because not only do they personally pocket much of what is sent by the west, but they have removed many social guarantees, have overseen the removal of the country's gold, have given power over to foreigners because in their opinion--of the millions of Ukrainians, none is capable of running their own country. Now you have Biden's son in control of energy resources and Monsanto is going to destroy the nation's agriculture, all for fun and profit.

12. "Why does every Ukrainian patriot, who wears Ukrainian symbols, sings the Ukrainian hymn, supports the unity of his country and speaks against separatism automatically become a Banderite and fascist? Under what article of the [Russian Federation] criminal code?"

The criminal code of the Russian Federation has nothing to do with the former Ukraine. No one looks at every single so-called "Ukrainian patriot" as Banderite or fascist. 

 

 In reality what they are is cannon fodder for Washington's geopolitical interests to establish total global domination. There is sympathy for those who are not fascists and Banderites and in fact when they are taken prisoner, they are treated with humanity and compassion. Furthermore, when they come to the realization that they have been misled and lied to, they are welcome to sanctuary in Russia.

The true fascists and Banderites are many...they are criminals, murderers and psychopaths and they will be punished just like Nuremberg. The "government" of the US colony that the former Ukraine has become is loaded with fascists and Banderites. 

Poroshenko has the blood of thousands on his hands, and he is a super robber oligarch that cares nothing for the people, but he is beholden only to those who pull his strings. He says and does what he is told to do by the US ambassador, by Victoria Nuland who admitted that Washington invested 5 billion dollars into the takeover of Ukraine by Washington. By US Senator John McCain and by Barack Obama. Every time one of them shows up, another murderous incident happens against Donbass.

13. Are all pieces of evidence of the presence of Russian troops in Ukraine–even those offered by Russian soldiers themselves–forgeries produced in the West?

There have been hundreds of them, and yes all and I mean all of them have been exposed as forgeries. Refer to the previous question about the open invitation to all to inspect Donbass and Crimea.

14. "Comrade Putin frequently has declared that Russia is not a side in the conflict and that he personally respects and supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine. If that is really so, then why hasn't Russia closed the border from its side so that volunteers (and not only they) from the Russian Federation do not have the opportunity to cross it in order to fight against the territorial integrity of Ukraine?"

Now my personal opinion on this differs from Mr.. Putin's. The territorial integrity of Ukraine was destroyed when the US put their puppets in charge in Kiev. Therefore, there is no room to speak of territorial integrity.

But Mr.. Putin has a different opinion from mine, he does insist on something non-existent, something that was destroyed...pretty much all in the name of doing anything and everything to establish peace and stop the killing. Unfortunately, the desire for peace is one-sided as Kiev and Washington do not believe in compromise.  They want what they want and will murder all who get in their way.

There is no reason to close the border and most of the traffic is of a humanitarian nature. Donbass would be Leningrad during World War II if not for Russian humanitarian assistance and the people of Russia would not want that fate to befall their brothers and sisters. Leadership in Kiev has declared their intention to murder the people of Donbass if they do not leave. And why should they leave their own land?

15. The Russian government last August explained the appearance of Russian troops in Ukraine by saying that they had crossed the border by mistake. "Do you really believe this? What would be your reaction if NATO soldiers 'accidentally became confused' somewhere near Vladivostok?"

You're speaking I believe of 3-4 individuals, and it was a mistake from what I've seen after examining all claims. I might remind you that Ukrainian forces fired mortars into Russia (even killing someone and causing destruction) and Russia did not do anything about it because Russia wants no part of it. 

That is diametrically opposed to NATO's arrogant, blatant declaration that they will go wherever the hell they damn well feel like it because they are the rulers of the world.

I am sure if some of them showed up in Vladivostok they would be treated like royalty (again, my opinion differs from Mr.Putin's, I would jail them, have a trial and then go from there).

16. "Why has Russia not once condemned the 'Novorossiya' militants and not once called on them to lay down their arms first? At the same time, officials of the Russian Federation have frequently called on Ukrainian soldiers to lay down their arms and leave the Ukrainian Donbas to the bandits. Why all [Russian] federal media gives positive coverage to only one side?"

Only one side can be right, and it's Novorossiya. There is no sympathy in Russia for the murder, Genocide and destruction of Donbass by Kiev at the behest of their Washington masters. 

These men and women are defending their land and they should be honored and praised and supported in every way possible (my personal opinion). 

Mr. Putin wants to keep out of it, but by no means should he ever condemn them for resisting. It would be like condemning the Soviet Army for resisting Hitler and the Nazis. 

Lay down your arms and let them kill you...kill your children, kill your wife, kill your mother and father; kill your old, fragile grandparents. This is what Kiev is doing to Novorossiya and anyone with an ounce of humanity will not condemn them, but praise them for having the same courage, integrity and honor of their forefathers. 

I am in awe of them...they are wonderful men and women and if you see for yourself, the people look to them for protection and help and they get it.

On the other hand, Kiev and Washington should leave these people alone. They have expressed their desire to be left alone. 

LEAVE THEM ALONE AND STOP KILLING THEM!!!! Get out and take your cluster bombs, phosphorous and TochkaU's with you. 

Do you really think that grandmothers and grandfathers are a threat to Ukraine that they have to be shelled every day and hit with missiles, artillery and rockets??

I refer you to the fact that by international law, they have a right to self determination.

17. How do you explain the fact that the forces of the 'DNR' and 'LNR,' hard-pressed as they were last August, suddenly "opened a new front in the direction of Mariupol and seized Novoazovsk? Who did this in fact: the forces of 'the militias,' whom the Ukrainian army had successfully contained or Russian soldiers without uniform markings who supposedly weren't there?"

Again with this nonsense about Russian soldiers, the mythical little green men. They take this off the shelf and dust it off every time defense forces are beating them. 

They were not hard pressed in August, they were winning and that forced Kiev to cry for a ceasefire in order to regroup, rearm and reinforce. Why do they do that? 

Where do you ever get the idea that the Kiev forces were successful in any campaign against their own people? Their morale is low, almost non-existent, while Novorossiya forces are fighting for their land, for their survival, for their future. They are given no choice in the matter and as many in history have noted....they are unbeatable. Ask that French fry and Hitler about that.

18. Why does Belarus, a state aligned so "close to Russia, support the territorial integrity of Ukraine and not agree with Putin's imperialist plans? Why does Lukashenka, Putin's ally in the Customs Union believe that there is no fascism as a mass phenomenon in Ukraine and say that it is necessary to destroy the militants fighting against Ukraine?"

Mr.. Putin has no imperialist plans.  You have completely contradicted yourself by calling Mr. Lukashenko Putin's ally. Your entire question is flawed. Lukashenko supports peace. 

Anyway, I cannot speak for the man and it seems unlikely that he is opposed to Mr. Putin's peace efforts, in fact he has hosted the talks and his relationship with Mr. Putin is excellent. Nowhere will you ever see him accuse Mr. Putin of "imperialist plans." 

This is the stupidest nonsense to come out of the information war, because the imperialist plans are those of Washington and no one else. Russia did not overthrow Ukraine's government and start barking orders from the Embassy in Kiev.

19. Do you believe Russian officials when they say that the 12 Pskov paratroopers did not die fighting in Ukraine but rather "by chance" died from heart attacks, suicides and accidents all at the same time?

I do not believe Russian officials said anything of the sort. I also do not believe that the story has any validity. It's much like the story of WMD in Iraq. Assad using chemical weapons on his own supporters, Khaddafi bombing his own people.

20. What are the 'Novorossiya' militants fighting for and what is the use of what they are doing?"

FREEDOM, THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE THEIR OWN PATH, THE RIGHT TO LIVE, THE RIGHT TO THEIR CULTURE, THE FUTURE OF THEIR CHILDREN.

They are being savagely attacked and murdered and this is a war crime, a crime against peace and a crime against humanity.

Since Kiev is so fond of the west and Washington, here you go:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

The people of Donbass have spoken and they are willing to give their lives for their freedom. Who are any of you to deny them that and kill them for it?

Eternal Shame to "America," Germany and Europe

Eternal Shame to

One hardly knows where to begin when listing all the examples of the shame and disgrace that the US, Germany and Europe have brought upon themselves. They have failed every test for humanity, especially and including their monotonous demand for obedience, that one and all are to follow their prescribed model of freedom and democracy.

One year ago, on 2 May, an untold number of individuals (from 48 to as many as 100) were savagely burned alive or beaten to death with the full encouragement of the Kiev junta and their western handlers. Washington and the west have since played deaf, dumb and blind to this most egregious war crime which began the genocidal murder campaign against all opposition to the fascist Kiev junta.

To this day, there has been no investigation of this war crime. Indeed, even a Kiev Rada Deputy was filmed dancing on burned bodies on Odessa's Kulikovo Polie during on May 2, 2014.

Kiev fascist forces then began attacking civilians on a daily basis with heavy military hardware, even banned, forbidden weapons...shelling civilian areas mercilessly, killing children and destroying homes, schools, hospitals, churches and orphanages. They have also destroyed vital infrastructure such as electrical and water plants. They have deliberately created a humanitarian disaster with malice and forethought, while blaming Russia for this campaign of Genocide and ethnic cleansing. The repeated lie of Russian aggression is absurd, as absurd as accusing defense forces of attacking their own mothers, grandmothers, wives, children, fathers and grandfathers. As absurd as thinking that the country that suffered more than any other from war would seek to start another one anywhere.

The only reason Kiev gets away with continuing this murderous campaign is because of the tacit approval of the west. Not only approval, but the United States has been barking their orders from the American Embassy, via Geoffrey Pyatt, US Ambassador, who presents false evidence of a mythical "Russian invasion."

As the Minsk2 agreement was concluded, the US proceeded immediately to violate that agreement, along with Britain, Poland and Canada by sending troops into the country and providing lethal weaponry to the Kiev Nazi Regime. Is this an act of working towards peace or is this pouring gasoline onto the fire?

There is a stark contrast between the oppressive atmosphere in Kiev controlled areas and those that are free from Kiev. You will find the areas free from Kiev are also free from repression, each man and woman doing their best to help their neighbor. There is no fear from neighbors. The defense forces are welcomed as they provide humanitarian assistance to civilians when not defending these same civilians in combat. A special thank you and salute go out today to the brave Commanders and defense forces of Novorossiya. The 9th of May is your day too.

Only days ago, Kiev kicked a European journalist out of the country for telling the truth about Odessa. The popular Italian journalist, Franco Fracassi, suffered for truth-in the truest sense of the word, being arrested at the Borispol Airport. "He will be thrown out for what writes about Odessa," said Ukrainian security services.

As the anniversary of the Odessa massacre approached, a total of 50 people were arrested by junta forces in Odessa at the last count. Odessa residents were urged not to cede ground to the fascists and join a memorial rally on May 2.

So much for freedom of speech, freedom of the press and "democracy." What was that you were saying, Ms. Nuland?

The Head of the Main Investigation Department of the Ukrainian Security Service, Vasily Vovk, was quoted as saying, "Ukrainophobes" should minimize rhetoric for their own safety due to the recent murders in Ukraine. He said this on ICTV channel's program "Freedom of Speech" on the evening of April 20.

More than a dozen individuals have met strange deaths:

-Jan. 29: Former Chairman of the local government of the Kharkov region, Alexey Kolesnik, hanged himself.

-Feb. 24: Stanislav Melnik, a member of the opposition party (Partia Regionov), shot himself.

-Feb. 25: The Mayor of Melitopol, Sergey Valter, hanged himself a few hours before his trial.

-Feb. 26: Alexander Bordiuga, deputy director of the Melitopol police, was found dead in his garage.

-Feb. 26: Alexander Peklushenko, former member of the Ukrainian parliament, and former mayor of Zaporizhi, was found shot to death.

-Feb. 28: Mikhail Chechetov, former member of parliament, member of the opposition party (Partia Regionov), "fell" from the window of his 17th floor apartment in Kiev.

-March 14: The 32-year-old prosecutor in Odessa, Sergey Melnichuk, "fell" to his death from the 9th floor.

Donetsk journalist, Sergei Sukhobok, was killed on the 13th April. He was one of the founders of the online media "Obkom" and "ProUA," also known for his opposition to the current Ukrainian leadership.

-April 15: A former Ukrainian MP and active anti-Maidan activist, Oleg Kalashnikov, was killed in his flat in Kiev. The 52-year-old was found dead at his residence on that Wednesday evening. His death was "caused by a gunshot," the Interior Ministry said.

His killing is one in a series of odd deaths plaguing former government officials and ex-President Yanukovich's party members. Thusfar, the investigation considers the primary motive behind the killing to be Kalashnikov's "political activity" linked with his "participation in the organization and financing" of counter-revolutionary events in Ukraine. Gerashchenko emphasized that Kalashnikov "had knowledge" of the anti-Maidan movement that resisted the coup last year and continues to challenge new authorities in Kiev.

"Without any doubt the deceased knew a lot about who and in what way financed anti-Maidan, which cost Yanukovich and his camarilla several million hryvnias per day. He takes these secrets with him to the grave," Gerashchenko said, also listing some other leads on his Facebook page. Business debts, personal enmity, burglary attempt and "other versions of murder"are listed among other possible motives.

Before the murder, Kalashnikov received threats of physical violence for his political views, in particular for his drive to defend Ukrainians' right to widely celebrate the 70th anniversary of World War II victory.

Oles Buzina, 45, a supporter of ex-president Viktor Yanukovych, was shot in the street. Buzina's body was found on the ground nearing his apartment building close to the city center. The head of Kiev's police department Alexander Tereschuk said that a TT gun was allegedly used in the crime.

Not only has the United States and the EU been giving political, propaganda and military support for these shocking murders, but also it gives intelligencce agency support for Ukrainian death squads.

A controversial Ukrainian website published personal information about 'enemies of the state' and evidence shows that it has been run by a NATO cyber center in one of the Baltic states. The website went offline on Saturday following public pressure.

NATO's Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence - СCD-COE has been exposed as providing technical support for Mirotvorec, the above mentioned website of Ukrainian nationalists running an 'enemies of the state' database.

Just after the killing of Oles Buzina, a video was published on the VK social network and was then immediately removed even though copies were made. It showed the members of the neo-Nazi Azov batallion with a captured defense fighter, they put him on a cross, raised the cross and set it on fire. It cuts off as he screams.

A message was also inclcuded which warned: "all the separatists, traitors of Ukraine and militia fighters will be treated the same", - "Cyberberkut" quoted the message from "Azov." Most believe this video to be a fake. However, the message has been conveyed and has served its purpose. In any case, it shows that some sick mind conceived the entire scenario whether or not it really happened.

This is the mentality being approved of, encouraged and supported by the US and the EU. What does this blind support show about the "values" espoused by the United States and the EU??

Thanks to the violent, illegal, unconstituional coup bought and paid for by the United States, the former Ukraine, Banderastan today, is a spiritual and intellectual cesspool of immorality, a jungle, filled with hatred, ignorance, idiocy, violence, suspicion and envy. I dare say they are carbon copies of their puppet masters in Washington. What we have is 21st Century fascism on the rise in Europe and America. It is appalling and horrifying that the West is a supporter of death squads, genocide and the law of the jungle.

Iranian Press TV rightly pointed out that the "US has an ongoing human rights crisis that it can no longer shield from the international community."

Another most revealing incident happened at the United Nations. Samantha Power, the US Permanent Representative to the UN, in an act of brazen censorship committed while lecturing North Korea on human rights, ordered the sound engineer to shut off the microphone while the Representative from the DPRK was pointing out the horrible record of the US on human rights.

The Senate Select Intelligence Committee's report exposing CIA torture has been released in the United States as the country is being inundated by angry protests over a series of vicious and unpunished police killings. This has received little notice by the American corporate media.

Police in the US kill citizens at over 70 times the rate of other first-world nations. In 2014: 1,100 people killed by US police. That is an average of three people a day. In 2013: 763 people were killed by police.

America imprisons almost twenty-five percent of all people imprisoned in the world, although containing only about 5% of the worlds population, an extremely disproportionate share of people imprisoned globally.

The United States also has one of the worst records among industrialized nations - losing on average between four and seven children every day to child abuse and neglect. Statistics show that among other developed countries, the U.S. has by far the highest infant mortality rate

Now perhaps when we see the true fascist, failed nature of the United States, we can understand why the United States has been bullying, blackmailing and bribing world leaders not to attend the 70th anniversary of the Victory of the Soviet Union over Hitler's Germany. The presence of western leaders for the victory celebration, especially American, would be tantamount to the sacrilegious.

The Victoria Nuland regime in Kiev passes laws glorifying Nazis and Stepan Bandera, a well known Nazi collaborator in the war. Kiev has been destroying all war monuments due to the orders and agitation from Washington, forbidding the celebration of the 70th 9 May Victory Day. Other fascist states such as Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia do much the same, celebrating their Nazi collaborators and destroying war monuments. European values at work.

Nazism has been on the rise in Europe over the last few years. There has been increased activities of fascist groups, fascist ideology, and repeated attempts to revise the outcome of the Second World War. Euro-Atlantism and Russophobia are running rampant, with many individuals banging the drums of war. NATO leaders and US generals are the worst.

No more hiding for the aggressors, global media and electronics have made it impossible for the unjust, murderous, genocidal forces of the world to conceal their criminal activity and mischief, it's all out in the open. In the face of its long history of domestic and international violence, the US government has lost all of its legitimacy. Appropriate action should be taken by the General Assembly to rectify its stranglehold on the UN's neck.

In the EU, one of the main culprts is Germany. It was planned that the delegations from all of the anti-Hitler coalition countries would meet at the Reichstag. Delegations from the United States, Britain and France were there. The Russian delegation was cordoned off, although the embassy had filed a request in advance. Moreover, immediately after the scandalous incident in the square at the Reichstag ... Ukrainian radicals rushed in trying to engage the Russian delegation in a brutal fight - because of St. George ribbons and flags. A lame excuse was given.

This was published on the site of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation:

"In response to reports by several media outlets about an incident that took place in the Reichstag on April 23 involving a delegation of the Russian Armed Forces Veterans Council, led by its Chairman, Army General Viktor Yermankov, we deem it necessary to report the following:

This was apparently a purely technical mishap. When the itinerary of the delegation's visit was discussed, it was made clear that full tours of the Reichstag would not be available on that day due to plenary meetings of the Bundestag, and that it would only be possible to visit the dome. Upon the arrival of the delegation, however, the itinerary listed a tour that could not take place for the stated reason. After a representative of the Russian House of Science and Culture was contacted, security officials expressed their apologies for the confusion, which were accepted by the delegation.

We consider the matter settled."

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich commented on the incident:

"I have seen reports on that score," the diplomat said. "What they say is not exactly true, to say the least." At the same time Lukashevich pointed out that "the very instance has aroused emphatic indignation."

"We are trying to clear up all details," he went on to say. "I can promise that the reaction on the merits will follow before long."

Despite these appalling, despicable attempts to spoil the joy of today's celebration, this is something they are too lowly, unworthly and steeped in their own depravity, evil deeds and filth to even remotely be able to touch...the celebration of 70 Years of Victory Day will go on without those who find themselves as the spirtual and political successors of the Third Reich, those who attempt to rehabilitate Nazism in our time: the United States and the EU.

The Red Army was virtually alone in the fight against the German Nazis from 1941 until the Normandy invasion in June 1944, after the war's outcome had already been decided. Additionally, the Soviet role in D-Day was enormous due to the extraordinary drive of the Red Army from Stalingrad to Berlin in the two years following victory at Stalingrad on February 2, 1943. Soviet industry worked 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to produce the armaments necessary for the war.

Nine out of every ten German soldiers killed in the war were killed by the Red Army. Only 11 Wehrmacht divisions fought the Allied armies in the west, while 228 Nazi divisions were fighting the Red Army in the east. As the Normandy landing finally took place, the far greater victory of the Red Army in Operation Bagration came, when Hitler's last great concentration of armies was annihilated in Byelorussia. The Soviet flag was placed on the Reichstag building in Berlin by Soviet soldiers. Over 27 million Soviet citizens were killed during the Great Patriotic War.

This was a devastating loss. The suffering, the grief and the horror were unparalleled, as was the courage, the determination and the spirit of the Soviet people in fighting the German Nazi invaders. There is no greater example of human courage in world history.

Today, 9 May, most of the world looks to Russia in gratitude.

The Soviet Union freed the world from Nazism. The world owes a great debt for this victory. Thank you fathers and mothers for the victory. I bow at your feet. I hug and kiss you, one and all. You are all so beautiful, special and precious. No one can diminish the pride I feel for Russia today. Russia is a beacon of freedom; a kind, patient and generous country. A brave country. A forgiving country. Russia is magical. Russia is a fantasy land where dreams have been built on touchable, visible, physical reality.

Russia is beautiful. The best in the world!

The United States and the EU need to tell us why their inferiority complex is so severe in response to the USSR victory of World War II that they have to bully, blackmail and even attempt assassinations to prevent world leaders from coming to Moscow for the 9 May Victory Day celebration. Why the agitation for countries to dispose of war monuments to Soviet victors??? Are they afraid to have people see that the Russian/Soviet way of life is superior???

Shame, shame, shame to the United States, and to you Germany and the EU countries.
