The latest statements by the deputy head of NATO testify to the fact that the leaders of the bloc want to intervene in Russia’s internal politics, and are “dreaming of Russian Maidan.” This is the view of Russia’s permanent envoy to NATO.

“The speech in Riga demonstrates the concern about Russia’s democracy and internal policy. At last, now we know that NATO has a dream, and this dream is a Maidan in Russia,” Aleksandr Grushko said in comment that was tweeted through the Russian representation office in the alliance.  Continue reading “NATO seeks regime change in Russia – envoy”

Zbigniew Brzezinski, U.S. President Obama’s friend and advisor on Russia, is a born Polish aristocrat who has hated Russia his whole life but who hid that hatred until after the communist Soviet Union collapsed and he then publicly came out as hating and fearing specifically Russia — the nation, its people, and their culture. In 1998, he wrote The Grand Chessboard, arguing for an unchallengeable U.S. empire over the whole world, and for the defeat of Russia as the prerequisite to enabling that stand-alone global American empire to reign over the planet.   Continue reading “The ‘Democrat’ Brzezinski Says Russia’s Putin Wants To Invade NATO”

Here’s a conspiracy theory for you…

All over the news today we’re being told the white powder found in the offices of several Quebec federal cabinet ministers was just a harmless scare. Offices were evacuated and people were sent to the hospital yesterday after four suspicious envelopes which contained white powder and an intimidating message written in French that threatened the Conservatives turned up in key offices.

Nigeria’s militant Islamist group Boko Haram has sworn allegiance to Islamic State, which rules a self-declared caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria, according to a video posted online. The pledge came in an Arabic audio message with English subtitles alleged to have come from Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau and posted Saturday on Twitter, according to the SITE Intelligence monitoring service.

“We announce our allegiance to the Caliph of the Muslims … and will hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity, in hardship and ease, and to endure being discriminated against, and not to dispute about rule with those in power, except in case of evident infidelity regarding that which there is a proof from Allah,” said the message.   Continue reading “Boko Haram declares allegiance to Isis”

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — If the massive undersea search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 turns up nothing by the end of May, the three countries leading the effort will go “back to the drawing board,” Malaysia’s transport minister said Saturday, a day before the anniversary of the plane’s disappearance.

Liow Tiong Lai told a small group of foreign reporters that he remains cautiously optimistic the Boeing 777 is in the area of the southern Indian Ocean where the search is ongoing. Despite the exhaustive search for the plane, which disappeared last March 8 during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, no trace of the jet has been found. In late January, Malaysia’s government formally declared the incident an accident and said all 239 people on board were presumed dead.   Continue reading “Malaysia: ‘Back to the drawing board’ if jet not found soon”

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — The top U.S. general predicts the one-two punch of Iranian-backed militias and Iraqi government troops will prevail over Islamic State fighters in the unfolding battle for Tikrit, Saddam Hussein’s hometown.

But U.S. Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the expected successful push in Tikrit, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Baghdad, Iraq’s capital, would not be possible without U.S. airstrikes that have tied down IS elsewhere in the north.   Continue reading “Top US general optimistic about outcome of Tikrit battle”

BANGKOK (AP) — The towering Danish ship Kobenhavn set sail from Argentina one December day, bound for Australia with five dozen souls aboard. Eight days later, as it traversed the South Atlantic, it radioed a nearby ship. All seemed well.

That was Dec. 22, 1928. The vessel was never heard from again. There were reports of a “phantom ship” spotted through the haze, but searches of the icy waters turned up nothing. A year passed. “Never in the history of shipping has a missing vessel been searched for more thoroughly,” Associated Press correspondent Alex Gerfalk wrote then. “Science has exhausted its resources in an attempt to find a plausible explanation for the complete disappearance of the largest sailing vessel in the world.”   Continue reading “AP Essay: Of a plane still missing, and a planet still vast”

Homeless and hopeless, David Allen Potchen is the bank robber who didn’t want the money, he just wanted to be caught.

His “career” as a stickup man began in 2001, when he walked into a Lowell, Ind., bank armed with a shotgun and took nine employees hostage. But he didn’t ask for money in the four hours he spent chatting with the terrified tellers and bank manager as FBI and SWAT surrounded the bank. He asked for two Big Macs and cigarettes.   Continue reading “Luckless, Hopeless Welder Robs a Bank Just to Get Caught”
