Anyone remember Chernobyl Girl? A Ukrainian woman, who took many motorbike tours of the forbidden zone, and published photoblogs of them. Her dad's a retired nuclear physicist so she had the necessary gear and knowledge. Very smart lady, and her website has always been interesting. Also, despite lots of disinfo on the web (typically by the State, trying to discredit her articles) she's real - I've had several correspondences with her. So I place very high value on her personal reporting of the Maydan revolution: http://www.elenafilatova.com/ She's confirming the situation in Crimea, and why it's unlikely to stay non-violent: http://www.angelfire.com/extreme4/kiddofspeed/maydan/update.html So far no hot conflict, but today and the next while are likely to get interesting. You can bet the US will come up with some stupid, belligerent and deceptive tricks. In the style of Georgia. And there was I thinking the next massive global stupidity was going to be between China and Japan. ---------------------------------------------- http://www.iraq-war.ru/article/305499 Carnival in Crimea By: Pepe Escobar on: 28.02.2014 [22:38 ] http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Central_Asia/CEN-05-280214.html Prompt coverage sources ----------------------- http://www.iraq-war.ru/ http://www.zerohedge.com/ http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-28/ukraine-acting-president-says-russia-starts-aggression-against-country-russian-plane http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-28/officers-76th-russian-shock-troops-division-operating-ukraine http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-28/obama-deliver-statement-ukraine-445-pm-live-stream http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-28/more-apcs-and-helicopters-and-now-un-coming-latest-developments-ukraine http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-28/ukraine-imposes-capital-controls-limits-foreign-currency-withdrawals 28.02.2014 http://www.iraq-war.ru/article/305450 (Russian) Western and Central commands start massive redeployment http://www.iraq-war.ru/article/305318 Facts you need to know about Crimea and why it is in turmoil By: RT on: 27.02.2014 http://www.iraq-war.ru/article/305568 Putin Asks Parliament to Approve Military Action in Ukraine By: Various on: 01.03.2014 20140302 http://turnerradionetwork.com/news/331-mjt ** FLASH ** Earthquake Strikes Crimea; Russian Troops Blame U.S. HAARP - Furious - Saying U.S. "Used a Weapon of Mass Destruction against Russian Military" Saturday, 01 March 2014 23:39 20140303 http://voiceofrussia.com/news/2014_03_02/Dozens-of-foreigners-attended-Euromaidan-protests-Russian-participant-6520/ Western mercenaries fought in Maidan protests - witness Quite a few mercenaries from the United States, Germany, Turkey, Poland and other countries formed part of the Euromaidan activists and militants, said one such activist, arrested by Russian border-guards in Russia's Bryansk Region, who said his name is Vladislav.

Deputy Secretary-General) Jan Eliasson said correctly it is needed to keep the head cool. It is needed to bring the situation back on political track and in constitutional framework. It is needed to return to the February 21 agreement and formation of a government of national unity," Churkin said. http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/02-03-2014/126976-ukraine_putsch-0/ Ukraine: The Law, the Putsch and the Imposter The irresponsibility of the western media calling Oleksandr Turchynov "Interim President" and referring to the "new Government" of Ukraine walks hand in hand with the notion that Governments can be deposed and instated by groups of armed thugs on the streets. Turchynov claims power, but what about the massive voting fraud in the Rada? Under the law, under the Constitution of Ukraine, Oleksandr Turchynov is not the Interim President, he is an imposter, the leader of a Putsch who has as much right to declare himself or to be declared Interim President as the author of this article, or anyone else for that matter. Why doesn't Turchynov, the subject of a criminal investigation in the past, not declare himself Queen of Sheeba? http://rinf.com/alt-news/breaking-news/neocons-want-ukraine-crisis/ What Neocons Want from Ukraine Crisis President Barack Obama has been trying, mostly in secret, to craft a new foreign policy that relies heavily on cooperation with Russian President Vladimir Putin to tamp down confrontations in hotspots such as Iran and Syria. But Obama's timidity about publicly explaining this strategy has left it open to attack from powerful elements of Official Washington, including well-placed neocons and people in his own administration. http://crockettlives.wordpress.com/2014/03/01/ukraine-back-in-the-ussr/ Ukraine: Back In The USSR? "Americans no longer trust Obama, and for good reason. Worse, our enemies trust Obama - to do nothing … Our enemies realize now, the only real red line President Obama is willing to draw is through the words Competence and Action." - Michael Ramirez http://www.thedailysheeple.com/putin-has-occupied-crimea-is-ukraine-world-war-iii-next_032014 Putin Has Occupied Crimea, Is Ukraine & World War III Next? Obama is famous for drawing imaginary red lines in the sand and then not acting. He warned Russia about their involvement in the Syrian conflict in which hundreds of thousands have died. He warned Russia against assisting Iran with its nuclear program. Putin has ignored Obama at every turn and holds him in absolute contempt. The unfolding war in Ukraine is just another case in point. Obama does not have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to Putin. Or, is Obama playing for a much higher authority and Putin is supposed to win? I will address the "theatrical aspect" of what could be playing out behind the scenes in the Rothschild/Rockefeller bankster empire in a later article. This article is focusing on connecting the dots of the key events as they are occurring in near real time as it relates to a military standoff in Ukraine. http://www.globalresearch.ca/american-conquest-by-subversion-victoria-nulands-admits-washington-has-spent-5-billion-to-subvert-ukraine/5367782 American Conquest by Subversion: Victoria Nuland's Admits Washington Has Spent $5 Billion to "Subvert Ukraine" After three visits to Ukraine in five weeks, Victoria Nuland explains that in the past two decades, the United States has spent five Billion dollars ($5,000,000,000) to subvert Ukraine, and assures her listeners that there are prominent businessmen and government officials who support the US project to tear Ukraine away from its historic relationship with Russia and into the US sphere of interest (via "Europe"). Victoria Nuland is the wife of Robert Kagan, leader of the younger generation of "neo-cons".

Facts you need to know about Crimea and why it is in turmoil "Today the majority of the Ukrainian armed forces deployed in Crimea passed to the side of the authorities of the Crimean autonomous region. The transition was absolutely peaceful, without a single shot fired either by the military or by the forces of self-defense," an unnamed source told RIA Novosti news agency. The source added that some of the servicemen also ran away, while some submitted letters of resignation. The local military have not been paid for many months, the source also told RIA Novosti. http://dissidentvoice.org/2014/03/what-the-hell-is-obama-thinking/ What the Hell is Obama Thinking? Nothing is quite as nauseating as watching the hypocrisy and hubris with which President Obama 'warns' the Russian president not to 'interfere' in Ukraine, telling the Russians there would be 'costs to pay.' It's a surreal move, echoed by his equally creepy and out-of-touch consigliore and chief "diplomat," the morally bankrupt John Kerry. Astonishing in its audacity and lack of regard for history, truth or facts, this bellicose blather seems aimed only at the idiots over whom he presides, the fools and tools in congress and the press, and his bought-and-paid-for lackeys in European capitals. Outside the bubble, the sabre rattling is alarming and threatening. Having stood the issue completely on its head, No Drama Obama ignores how it looks to Russia, China and anyone with a skeptical mind. It is so jarring that it leaves only two options: is he crazy or does he really want war? http://rt.com/news/ukraine-navy-flaghsip-protest-389/ Ukrainian Navy flagship takes Russia's side - report Ukraine's Navy flagship, the Hetman Sahaidachny frigate, has reportedly refused to follow orders from Kiev, and come over to Russia's side and is returning home after taking part in NATO operation in the Gulf of Aden flying the Russian naval flag.

It ended when Russian Intelligence agents uncovered a plan by coup plotters to destabilize the Crimea using the same strategy they'd used in Kiev, that is, seizing government buildings, inciting violence, and spreading terror. The discovery, which included "hacked" e mails, shaped events on the ground. Russian troops were deployed to beef up security at the airports and government buildings making it impossible for the putsch to succeed. In other words, the Kremlin implemented its own "preemption" scheme and it worked like a charm. The Washington-backed coup in the Crimea was foiled and order was maintained. Score one for Russia. Here's the scoop from blogger Moon of Alabama from a post titled "The Crimean Anti-Coup Move". 20140306 http://rt.com/news/ashton-maidan-snipers-estonia-946/ Kiev snipers hired by Maidan leaders - leaked EU's Ashton phone tape The snipers who shot at protesters and police in Kiev were allegedly hired by Maidan leaders, according to a leaked phone conversation between the EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton and Estonian foreign affairs minister, which has emerged online. WRH: This is a normal part of US regime change; hire agents provocateurs to commit atrocities and blame them on the government being removed. We saw the same dirty trick in Syria where the hired mercenaries carried out chemical weapons attacks on civilians which were then blamed on Assad. 20140306 http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-03-05/behind-kiev-snipers-it-was-somebody-new-coaltion-stunning-new-leak-reveals-truth http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ZEgJ0oo3OA8 "Behind The Kiev Snipers It Was Somebody From The New Coalition" Earlier today an even more shocking recording has been "leaked" this time one between the always concerned about human rights EU foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton and Estonian foreign minister Urmas Paet, in which it is revealed on tape that all those photos of horrifying deaths of Ukrainians by snipers during the last days of the Median stand off, were in fact caused not by Snipers controlled by Yanukovich, but that the snipers shot at both protesters and police in Kiev were allegedly hired by Maidan leaders! The last time a leaked phone call out of Ukraine was released about a month ago ostensibly by the Russian NSA equivalent, one between US assistant sec state Victoria Nuland and the US envoy to the Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, it was revealed that the real puppet masters behind the Maidan movement, and the true instigators of the Ukraine "revolution" were none other than the "developed" world superpowers, lead by the US. Also revealed were tensions between the US and EU strategies on how to overthrow the current government, culminating with the infamous "Fuck the EU." Needless to say the US, which implicitly confirmed the recording, was angry at Russia and accused it of using dirty tricks. That's ironic, because when it comes to "dirty tricks" what is about to be presented, blows the top off anything Russia may or has done to date. 20140306 http://www.turnerradionetwork.com/news/347-pat U.S. Satellites Detect Planes at Russian Nuclear Weapons Storage Facility http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/index1750.htm March 9, 2014 Russia Warns Of American Deaths As Ukraine Crisis Spirals Out Of Control 20140311 http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-03-10/was-price-ukraines-liberation-handover-its-gold-fed Was The Price Of Ukraine's "Liberation" The Handover Of Its Gold To The Fed?

An online Ukrainian news website, Insider, said eight pro-Russian militants had been killed. Russia's Interfax news agency said Ukrainian troops used large calibre weapons as they tried to take an occupied government building in the city. Members of a crew from Britain's ITV News in the city said on Twitter that they saw heavy guns being used and smoke from burning tyres rising above Mariupol. "Just filmed serious fighting downtown Mariupol. Snipers everywhere. Heavy guns. A man got shot just next to me. Black smoke over the city," wrote cameraman Daniel Demoustier. Ukrainian military armoured vehicles were seen in the centre of Mariupol. WRH: Unfortunately, these skirmishes are merely a prelude to a much larger war in the region. I am fully expecting the West and US to stage an horrific false flag here, to be blamed on Russia, as the casus belli for a war against Russia, and I am not alone in this expectation: Steven Lendman, an honorable voice of reason and peace in a wilderness of warmongers, wrote yesterday at globalresearch.com: False flags are a longstanding US tradition. They go way back. They are used often. Previous articles discussed them. They target independent nations lawlessly. They eliminate outlier foreign leaders. They aim to remove all challengers to US global dominance. They prioritize conflict and instability. They create enemies where none exist. According to VOR, a false flag provocation against Russia is planned. "Russian military uniforms and fake IDs of Russian officers have been taken to the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk," said VOR. A staged attack on Ukrainian border guards is planned. It's reminiscent of how WW II began. Nazis impersonated alleged Polish terrorists. They attacked the Gleiwitz radio station in Upper Silesia, Germany. It bordered both countries. It was pretext to attack Poland. WW II followed. Is Obama risking No. III? Is he mad enough to try? Is he beholden to crazies that extreme? A Ukrainian official said on condition of anonymity: "The task is to stage an attack on Ukrainian border guards by people dressed in Russian military uniforms and make a video of it." "The SBU (Ukraine Security Service) has transferred about 20 personal bodyguards of Dnepropetrovsk Region governor (Igor) Kolomoisky from Kiev to Donetsk." "(T)he group" will team with (neo-Nazi) Right Sector" hoodlums. It'll "accompan(y) a cargo of about 200 sets of Russian military uniforms and about 70 (blank]) IDs of Russian military officers." At issue is crushing Eastern Ukrainian resistance. It's eliminating freedom fighters for justice. It's smashing all opposition. There are two referendums to be held in various places in Eastern Ukraine; one this weekend, on the 11th, and the other, to be held on the 18th of this month. If in fact such a a false flag is planned and contemplate, I would almost be willing to bet real money that it will be held between these dates. I am hoping to heck that Steven is wrong on this, but it is rare with this man that he is. For those of you inclined to prayer, please do so about this potential horrific event; because folks, something wicked this way comes, and it appears that citizens of the US are about to be dragged into a war against Russia which the US military is most likely not to win, because the US military doesn't have the money, the troop strength, or the manufacturing to insure a positive outcome to a conventional war against Russia. And this is what makes the military scenario so scarily dangerous here. 20140511 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZiJRnaom_E#t=574 9 facts that prove the U S is behind Ukraine crisis 20140513 http://nationalinterest.org/feature/welcome-russian-nuclear-weapons-101-10432 Welcome to Russian Nuclear Weapons 101 (4 pages) A US govt mouthpiece talking about how ready Russians are to use tactical & strategic nuclear weapons. In light of the constant US govt mouthpiece talk of US vulnerability to EMP weapons, makes me expect another US false flag attack. My comment: So, the US government foments a proxy war with Russia in the Ukraine. Simultaneously we see multiple US government spokespersons talking about how vulnerable the USA is to EMP attack. (One of those EMP FUD-spreaders was Dick Cheney a few months ago, so we can confidently assume the usual suspects are up to something.) Now we're getting articles from probable US government front organizations like 'national interest' about how willing and eager Russia is to use nukes. If there's a nuclear EMP attack on the USA, or a small nuclear strike somewhere in Ukraine leading to a larger scale exchange that just happens to include an EMP over USA, no matter how much the MSM and US government insist it was Russia's fault, many people will know who to really blame. Listen you Banker vampires, your time is up. You are NOT going to get away with starting another large scale war to distract from the inevitable collapse of your 'fiat money created as debt' scam.

Today saw Ukraine issue $1 Billion 5-Year Notes at a stunningly low risk of only 28bps above US Treasuries and dramatically cheaper than the cost of capital in the public markets (and from the IMF) which yield over 10%. The reason for the 1) low cost, and 2) actual ability to raise debt... the bond is guaranteed by the US Agency for International Development and "assures full repayment of principal and interest" based on the full faith and credit of the US (Taxpayer). 20140515 http://politicalvelcraft.org/2014/05/12/obamas-taxpayer-hired-400-800-blackwater-killer-mercenaries-deployed-on-ground-in-ukraine/ Obama's Taxpayer Hired 400 - 800 Blackwater Killer Mercenaries 'deployed on ground' In Ukraine!

By: THE SAKER on: 25.06.2014 [11:41 ] (82 reads) When I heard this morning that Putin had asked the Federation Council to repeal the resolution on the use of Russian armed forces on the territory of Ukraine I was frankly baffled. Truly, I had not expected such a move. I had noticed yesterday that the so-called "consultations" (as opposed to "negotiations") between the Russian Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov, a senior representative for the OSCE Tagliavini, Ukraine's second president Kuchma, Ukrainian Choice movement leader Medvedchuk and the Donetsk People's Republuc's Prime Minister Borodai, South-East movement leader Tsaryov and representatives of the Lugansk People's Republic had resulted in the Novorussian leaders agreeing to a temporary cease-fire, but I did not expect that the situation would change so rapidly.

At least two were clearly aimed at Saur Moglia with the idea of the Ukes trapped in The Cauldron having a sudden escape route opened for them. Moments before launch Russian Federation units surged toward the border at The Cauldron area and to the north of The Cauldron. None of the 4 Tochka missiles reached their targets. I repeat, none of the 4 Tochka missiles reached their targets and none impacted with the ground anywhere that can be found in anything close to one piece. As you know this missile can carry a tactical nuke, chem/bio, cluster munition or HE in the weight of just under 500 kilos. When the 4 missiles failed to reach their targets the Armed Forces of RF immediately halted their surge and held position. They are in the same positions 30.07.2014. There has been a noticeable slow down of fighting activity since the launches and Strelkov has pointedly said again that Novorossiya is open to negotiations. The 4 Tochka missiles were shot down over Novorossiya territory occupied by Ukraine Armed Forces before the missiles reached their programmed height. They were shot down from inside RF according to normally reliable sources. No visual evidence has been provided of RF shooting down the Tochka systems nor of the system used to shoot down the Tochka missiles. 20140824 http://rt.com/news/182332-humanitarian-aid-foreign-ministry/ Mission completed: Moscow confirms delivery of aid to E.

At least part of the reason the US State Dept./CIA staged a coup in Ukraine that overthrew its democratically elected government and installed a neo-Nazi puppet regime was to steal Ukraine's gold. Rumor had it that shortly after the coup the gold was quietly loaded onto a plane that took it to the US. And now comes the official revelation: Ukraine has no gold reserves left. The gold was sold to pay for a failed military campaign in Eastern Ukraine, and to prop up the fake paper gold market for a little bit longer. One would expect that once the fix is off, the price of gold will skyrocket, the US dollar will drop like a rock, and Americans will need to add the word “hyperinflation” to their list of national woes. 20141210 http://sputniknews.com/russia/20141209/1015647016.html Russian Missiles Shoot Down Ukrainian Surveillance Drones Over Crimea Russia has shot down several Ukrainian unmanned surveillance aircrafts flying over the Crimean Peninsula from the North over the last month using Pantsir (Greyhound) surface-to-air missile systems, a Crimean military source told RIA Novosti on Tuesday. “Pantsirs have been used against the targets by the division based close to the Chongar Isthmus,” the military source said. “After recognizing the unmanned surveillance aircraft, it is intercepted on the border with the command of capturing and escort. If the unmanned surveillance aircraft flies deep into our territory or approaches a military facility, then it is shot down,” the source added. 20141214 http://rinf.com/alt-news/editorials/ukraine-prepares-250000-graves-soldiers/ Ukraine Prepares 250,000 Graves for Its Soldiers 20141216 http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.it/2014/12/ukraine-as-seen-through-eyes-of.html Ukraine As Seen Through The Eyes Of A Geologist by Vadim Zolotaryev, http://matveychev-oleg.livejournal.com/1722656.html via http://worldcrisis.ru/crisis/1729991 GKD: Ah ha!

(Press Conf. Video proof) This seals it: This Pro-Russian Separatist Spokesman just provided testimony evidence that the missile which blew up in Donestsk yesterday evening was, in fact NUCLEAR TIPPED. He specifically states in this RT News Conference video that the warhead from the missile fragments being displayed is the equivalent of “five hundred TONS of TNT.” The English sub-titles also clearly confirm him saying “500 tons of TNT.” There is no conventional warhead that exists ANYWHERE which can deliver that kind of destructive blast. NONE. The only way a missile warhead can generate a blast equal to 500 Tons of TNT is if it is a tactical nuke. GKD: I think is mistranslation. The rocket parts shown don't appear to have been close to a nuclear explosion, only HE. Also, they are not being treated as radioactive. 20150212 Proof Kiev committed a false flag attack on Kramatorsk http://vineyardsaker.blogspot.it/2015/02/the-proof-that-kramatorsk-tornado.html http://codename-it.livejournal.com/773125.html 20150220 via Saker A few loose ends about Debaltsevo "Dragon_First_1" has posted a detailed analysis of the forces which have actually succeeded in getting out of the Debaltsevo Cauldron.

The Seabees have been in Ochakov since April to establish contracts, obtain construction permits, and perform other logistical tasks for the maritime operations center project, the Navy said. The maritime operations center is one of three projects that the Seabees will execute in Ochakov. “Beginning construction in Ukraine is a significant accomplishment,” Lt. j.g.
