Seen On The New Donetsk Republic Leader's Wall...
Just a few days ago we highlighted what some had outlined as "Novorossiya" (New Russia) - the new territory being 'created' by the Russian Spring... today courtesy of @kdzieciol, we see it from a slightly different angle - on the wall of Denis Pushilin's office - the leader of the new independent Donetsk Republic...
"Map of #Ukraine redrawn at Donetsk Peoples' Republic leader Denis Pushilin's office. Room 1007"
Angle not clear enough? Here it is again:

Looks like Farmville to me.
I'm more a Kings of Camelot kind of player :)
Makes sense.
It's strange that couple of months ago, way before the Ukrainian crisis, couple of larger Forex brokers (CitiFX, Armada Markets, SaxoBank) introduced leveraged trading in USD/RUB. Are they expecting some kind of crash and now want to lure all of the retail crowd into this market?
Lure retail, or dredge a channel to guide in the massive retail-yoking algo torpedos?
Funny how that's a "mineral commodities" map.
Keep your eyes on the prize, no?
The West can't solve Vladimir Putin
They're tryin' to get him to shootin'
But this guy's too quick
His moves are too slick
His chess guess is best, no disputin'
Signed: the non-lymeric king (but thought I'd give a try for WB7)
;-)
Putin's success must not stand!
said the banksters reviewing their plan
'Say! I have an idea'
said a man at the rear
Why don't we just bomb ol' Iran?
left out moldova
HEy, I GOT An IDEA, Let's Have The NEXT OLYMPICS Here !!!
I screwed my first limerick up and didn't even realize it...damn auto-complete must have changed "game" to "guess". How stupid! hahaha Oh well...that's why WB7 is the true Limerick King. ;-)
One more try:

Whats POCCNR mean? Russia?
Yes.
Duh. You thought Putin was going to allow them a port from which to transit? Are you nuts?
Writing is on the wall?
That's because it is the map of what was called as New Russia during the Russian Empire times.

Yes; the message for the junta in Kiev
is "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin".

You're killing me. LOL
Title of the map is:
*** The map of mineral commodities of ukraine ***
I bet this is no coincidence.
Fascinating. And anyoen else think the upper map looks like a Bear facing left? And a baby bear right behind it?
Or is it this new strain....
ori
Yeah it looks like a cute chubby water bear, they can survive for centuries in absolute zero without oxygen, they're also immune euronato pole-grabbers I hear.
Crimea is important, so Russia has a year-round warm water port. Eastern Ukraine is fairly mineral-rich (oil/gas + pipelines of course), and there is quite a lot of heavy industry. But primarily Eastern Ukraine must be in Russian hands, to prevent NATO from stationing 'missile defences' there (just like how the 'Defence' budget is used for empire building, what do you think missile 'defences' are for).
I must confess that as partial as I am to self determination and as sympathetic as I am to Russian speaking majorities trapped in an EU looted Ukraine, I will be very dissapointed if Ukraine is not left with significant port access to the Black sea. At a minimum Ukraine needs to be left with the Nickolaev Oblast and thus also Odessa. Putin needs to know where and when to stop.
As much as I agree with your spirit of compromise here, I'm pretty sure Putin is NOT pushing the issue here!
It will stop when the lunatics in the West stop trying to use the borders of other people's Country's as prison cells!! As Americans, we better stop eating fast food with our EBT card loot and start seeing that the same is destined for us, as what just happened in the Ukraine!
If the borders you live within aren't of your own making and they are not for YOUR benefit, then what are they??? Counties, States, Country's, aren't a religion, there fluid, living, entities like the people that live within them, they should be able to change and morph with the "will of the people", when they don't or can't, your no longer a free person, your a slave or servant at best, to those borders!!!
What is happening in the Unraine is profound and more revolutionary then almost anything since the colonies in 1776 or Africa in the early 20h century!!!!
" I'm pretty sure Putin is NOT pushing the issue here!"
Then you are living in a cartoon.
Everyone has their fingers in the Ukraine. That is the problem.
Imagining politicians to be god-like is the problem, not the solution.
Pretty much ignored what the people there want didn't you?
Being right on the doorstep isn't as important these days. The real question is how fast can Russian missle defense systems detect and react to a launch from lets say Poland.
That is a tech question I am not familiar with so if the empire still has the first strike time arbitrage advantage which I believe don't believe really means shit in this case since both sides can easily park subs right on the doorstep for a close first strike attack that being on the doorstep if in this case it is more about follow up after the fact.
But there is no one simple answer to this conflict since it is layered with territorial empire interests overlaping the empire's real objectives.
The core issues at play always revolve around the oldest standing people's and groups while the outer layers revolve around the newest people's and groups in the empire.
A launch from Poland would impact Moscow within 5 minutes.
Russia has some extrremely sophisticated air defence systems, arguably the best in any military inventory. There is the P-400 and a forthcoming P-500 with an improved abilty to counter ICBMs.
But the real problem with close basing is the short reaction times involved. Somebody launches something out of Poland and the dude in Moscow has under 5 minutes to react to the threat. The best way to protect your birds is to fly your birds. Some asshole is shooting at you, what are you going to do? Dam straight you are going to fire back with as many bullets as you can of the greatest calibre you can muster. You are going to put him down and then double tap him to make sure he stays down.
Essentially the proposed NATO close basing ends up putting the entire world on a hair trigger basis. Your welfare now depends on the cognitive skills of some grunt who suspects he is about to be incinerated. Great system.
dumb.
Missile are big. Support equipment is bigger. They won't fit in 600 paratroopers carry-on luggage.
Flight time to Moscow is multiples of 5 minutes.
Politician's declarations (including to join NATO) does not result in the magical creation of military hardware. Joining NATO results in an office being converted for the attache's use the requirement to reguarize certain support equipment on a voluntary basis in order to support military forces who will be equipped differently than the host nations'.
To be frightened by a handful of bureacrats is not rational. To conflate NATO membership or the arrival of 600 paratroopers with the presense of NUCLEAR weapons is not rational. Is not sane.
Bombers do not carry ICBMs. There is no point. Bombers carry bombs. If Russia objects to nuclear bombers near its borders it should cease telling other countries that its politicians will arrive in them. It should cease invading others' airspace with them.
The irony is that Russia REGULARLY sends NUCLEAR BOMBERS into the CIVILIAN AIRSPACE of nations with whom it is not at war, but considers it to be nearly an act of war for those same others to have their equipment within 1000 miles of Russia.
Russia tells the world how it wishes to be treated with its actions toward others. EVERY COUNTRY NEIGHBORING RUSSIA HAS BEEN INVADED AND OCCUPIED BY RUSSIA.
EVERY.
LAST.
ONE.
But Russia pretends not to understand why those countries fear Russia? Pretends not to know why those countries want powerful friends?
Pretends Chechnya an its other problems were created by others?
Sure, and every nook, cranny, and bush hides a CIA agent. I found one in my shoe this morning.
This is pure paranoid insanity.

Putin vs Obummer: 2 - 0
putin has pants'ed obama more than 2x. dont forget syria. putint to west: we'll take ukraine or we shut off your oil and nat gas. and you financial bubbles all burst. west to putin: you can have it. just, for the love of god, dont pop our bubble.
The problem with the West's threats is that the West equates "banking" with "economy", so as the West threatens the Russian currency, the West believes it is engaging in dastardly provocations ... however the West, in doing so, ironically, unconsciously, is only revealing the depth (or "debth") of its own decay. The emperor truly has no clothes, and can't see its own reflection in the shiny pipelines of real goods and real energy that Putin chooses to lord over. Currency is a means, not an end, unless you are financialized economy with no "growing" output but reserve currency (like, say, the US), reserve currency essentially being sheets of paper that globally denominate the prices of large volumes of real goods at the expense of, securitization by, or backing of any real value created by the American citizen taxpayer. The West, perhaps specifically the US of A as London is filled with sharp, cagey, MFers who are likely controlling any- and everything under the sun with an English name, is unconsciously destroying itself moment by moment, however this destruction, if not acknowledged, will be literal rather than spiritual, as it should.
Banking and the economy have definitely become synonymous in the 'Civilized World'.
Just yesterday I was reading about some interesting fiat experiments from the past. One was "the short string" standard, which meant if you had 770 bronze coins, it was treated as 1000 bronze coins (sucks for the guy with less than 770 coins, thats for sure). Used in China.
The other was the original paper fiat currency. I heard merchants would stop accepting the newly issued fiat, and in cartel-like fashion, decide which FORMER regime's fiat to use instead. It was a way for the merchant groups to try to take some of the power from the state, by refusing to accept newly issued fiat.
If you have access to real goods, and firm human connections, and knowledge of the real marketplace which by implication indicates knowledge of real human need, why would you accept anything less than quality in exchange for what you may offer?
Any recommended reading?
I am currently reading 1493 (which the above anecdotes are from), and also a big fan of Anatoly Fomenko, but a lot of his work has not been translated to English, so I am stuck using Google Translate... Which honestly must be similar to what it was like for scholars 400 years ago, digging into archives, and reading foreign scripts, different styles of handwriting, trying to decipher what exactly you are reading!
In my experience, it's the best way to learn something - try to read it in its original language, when you don't know the original language. It really makes you try to decipher why they wrote what they wrote how they wrote it.
It's super easy to pants someone wearing 'mommy jeans...Putin has give him the atomic wedgie as well...'
89-0 by my count. Countries that is, now firmly on Russia's side of the fence.
Way beyond critical mass.
what abou Syria
Putin vs Obummer 3 - 0
wait ... Ukraine ISN'T in Pakistan??!!
[reference: CNN official staff cartographers]
This should get that water problem in Crimea worked out.
Yep. The Ukrainian Navy will soon be renamed the Ukrainian River Patrol and can sell off all those blue-water vessels to the highest bidder -- probably to good neighbor, Russia, in exchange for gas supplies.
Seems Staged
This whole situation seems like one staged event after another. What should concern everyone is the fact that all of them are pushing toward larger conflict.
You know a better way to keep the banking system "solvent?"
I'll tell you one:
Wash it down with a really strong deter-gent ;-)
The ends apparently justify the any means necessary after all.
The problem is that everyone looks at this Gang War and believes they see a white hat on one or the other.
It is wishful thinking at best, and wanton insanity at worst.
Europe is in this for access to energy.
Russia is in this to subordinate Europe to its will by means of energy.
The US is in this to retain power and influence in Europe.
WHERE IS THE WHITE HAT?
I SEE NO WHITE HAT!!!
it reminds me how Stalin and Hitler secretly decided to devide Poland right before they went into direct conflict
WW3 is on the horizon
My first thought too, but look at the drawn lettering. It's pretty hard to photoshop the part in the window reflection to be appropriately lighter than the rest.
If you were going to photoshop lettering onto a map photo, you'd do it on the photo itself. It would be equally dark lettering.
It could be done before the photo was taken, but that would mean it exists in that office.
Shrug.
Who's to say that's even the guy's office? The whole region stinks.
++ Bingo :-)
Staged or not, the message is clear. And someone wants that message to be known.
Yep, but message being sent is already known by the low brow fringe tinfoil hat wearing dickweed ZH regulars. It is more for those just tuning in.
Now for someone who can actually read what the map says.
The question is which language and what does it say?
The other question is if they are fucking with the Jesuits at the same time then what does 1007 mean in numerology? See if any curious ZH'rs want to answer this one by using the digital library.
I don't know, but I do know 2014/2 = 1007.
Hopefully the world is not about to be carved in two!
Use the search Luke. The world already is carved into at least 2 or else the conflict wouldn't be happening now would it. Good catch on the secondary meaning though.

You know the answer to that one if you know how to think, not what to think.
So far no one has answered the questions I put forth and that is and of itself an answer.
"Seems Staged". We're talking about the coup, right?
Putin has his Quislings. Some day he will have his Pétain.
He's got his Obama. What else does he need?
Hope and change alright... for East Ukrainians!
"What else does he need?"
Odessa
If for no other reason than to deny control of the port to any other state.
I think a bridge or a tunnel connecting Crimea to Russia is soon coming.
Take a look at the red border between Crime and Ukraine on Google Earth now.
I think we'll soon see moar red lines there.. drawn by Putin!
Headbanger...
Chinese companies are already discussing the financing/building of a bridge from Russia to Crimea (across Kerch Straight).
http://in.rbth.com/news/2014/05/05/china_investors_may_build_bridge_acro...
In addition, Russia is discussing using it's own sovereign wealth fund to build the bridge.
Cost estimates run from 1.2 to 3 billion $... probably yuan or rubles or oil/gas or gold or whatever.
Now that makes sense. Hopefully it will benefit the people of Crimea so they have a better life.
The bridge will cost:
A lot of steel (likely sourced locally)
A lot of labor (likely sourced externally)
Engineering talent (likely sourced locally)
And oil and gas to be sold, in exchange (indirectly of course, as engineers are not at this time used to being paid in natural gas)
The Kerch Strait looks to be about three miles across and very shallow.
I'm not a civil ingineer but I would think the bridge would be mostly reinforced concrete piers with a 300 meter or so central steel arch..
The Crimea could become a a nice tourist spot for the Ruskies.
Probably would still have to provide access to shipping through there. But yes, same as you, building bridges is not my day job.
Just wanted to illustrate the importance of getting away from thinking in terms of USD. Accounting during high inflation isn't that difficult. It just isn't useful or comparable.
As LOP would say, "tick tock".
If he likes his obama, he can keep it..................PLEASE
The Doughnut Republic. I like it!
I envision a new Berlin Wall between West and East Ukraine or actually between East Ukraine and Russia.
Yeah, but this time it may be the West putting it up.
In Mexico, they have already discussed building a wall between North Bananarama and South Bananarama. Of course, the purpose for that wall was communicated as something altogether different...
Correction: between West-Ukraine and Russia
West takes wreckless misstep in Ukraine, Russia masterfully re-raises and comes out #winning!
Because Putin is not only a chess master, but a Judo expert too.

the blackwater bullies will have no impact. they are scared to death of the Russian army. they prefer unarmed civilians, women and children, if possible.
Blackwater = armored toll booth operators. Unionized, to boot.

thats good !
There is no way they are going to allow (the west that is) a landlocked Ukraine. If that scenario is planned, they better stock bodybags and lots of them.
pods
Who needs bodybags when they're all vaporized from the initial blast?
Yup. The loss of Odessa would be crushing, but even with Odessa, it's important to note that they lose everything anyway.
The major agriculture AND industry is in the east. They have forest in the west, and ethnic Poles whose brethren in Poland fill every train into the EU to work at cut rate wages in construction jobs.
The country's primary refinery is in the east, too, along with 2/3 the little oil production they have.
Well, it's their own fucking fault. Monsanto/Chevron land grab isn't going to work in Ukraine like it supposedly does with the BLM in Nevada.
Fuck you, you fucking fuckers!
Especially you, Nuland.
Can ships go all the way to Kiev? I mean for oil tankers, supermax cargo container ships.
Good Question.
The ZH research team now has to investigate breadth and depth of that river along the whole route.
FYI that big refinery is near the river.
I don't think so. Supermax?
"its reservoirs have large ship locks, allowing vessels of up to 270 by 18 metres (886 ft × 59 ft)"
Panamax is 120 ft wide.
Looks like the Dnieper is roughly comparable to the Suez Canal in terms of ship size & navigability.
No problem.
They can borrow the 120' of Moldavian beachfront.
That's how the cookie crumbles.
I'm buying some property in Tiraspol.
Fuck you, Obama!
Tyler, what do the color bands on the map mean?
Does anyone have the link to the map of the carved-up USA?
Yes, but instead of 'Russia', the writing reads 'Rothschild's'.
if anybody is wondering what Washington's response is...
"The US Strategic Command, the agency responsible for country’s nuclear arsenal, will hold large-scale war games this week that will include 10 B-52 Stratofortresses and up to six B-2 Spirit bombers, along with other military and government agencies.
The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-powered strategic bomber built to carry nuclear weapons.
The Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, also known as the Stealth Bomber, is an American strategic bomber, designed for penetrating dense anti-aircraft defenses that can drop up to sixteen 1,100 kg B83 nuclear bombs.
The exercise will be conducted from May 12-16 and is set “to deter and detect strategic attacks against the US and its allies,” the Strategic Command said in a statement.
“This exercise provides unique training opportunities to incorporate the most current technology and techniques in support of our mission. Continued focus and investment in our strategic capabilities allow US Stratcom to deter, dissuade, and defeat current and future threats to the U.S. and our allies.” said Admiral Cecil Haney, head of Strategic Command.
StratCom is the US’s nuclear command and is responsible for space operations, global strike, global missile defense; and global command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and combating weapons of mass destruction.
Though the timing of the exercise was declared as “unrelated to real-world events,” it does come on the heels of the recent war games in Russia. Announced in November 2013, military drills on countering nuclear strikes were overseen by President Vladimir Putin ahead of the May 9 celebrations dedicated to victory in World War II
Contrary to the openness of the Russian war games, the US Strategic Command released very few details about the upcoming exercise.
Relations between Moscow and Washington have worsened significantly over the situation in Ukraine. The US continues to endorse and support a military operation by Kiev’s coup-installed government against federalization supporters in the southeast of the country.
Last week, NATO said it may permanently station additional troops in Eastern Europe as a defensive measure against Moscow. Russia views this recent buildup of NATO forces as a provocation and counterproductive in the struggle to deescalate tensions in Ukraine."
...so now they are bringing out the nuclear bombers, because that will surely calm things right down. and does GSC seriously expect anyone to believe that this has nothing to do with the current situation in eastern Europe?
I always liked the old Chinese proverb "may you live in interesting times".
but I think this is quickly turning into the wrong kind of interesting.
Probably going to bomb the Bundy Ranch.
Well, there is interesting and then there is WE ALL GONNA FUCKIN DIE!!!!!
yup.
So the Aliens/Clingons win.
Wake me when you see fallout shelters in grammar schools and bomb drills after lunch hour. Oh, it's been that way since the 1940's? Nevermind!
the b-52 (and the b-17) is the most beautiful plane in the sky. just thought i'd throw that in there. sorry. continue.
I saw one fly into Hancock once, low and right over my back yard, it was massive, loud and it looked like it was moving so slow that I that I thought it was going to just drop right out of the sky. we were used to the f-16's that were stationed there, but that b-52 was very, very impressive.

US Army soldiers are not in East Ukraine firing on the innocents who want separation; but they are the same US-paid mercenaries (Blackwater) forced to change their name after earlier atrocities. It’s the same as having Navy Seals, Army paratroopers, or US Marines; they are all paid for by the US taxpayer to create the war in Ukraine to benefit the international IMF banking cartel.
Among the candidates of hired mercenaries that were contracted by the West “to suppress civil protests and dissatisfaction,” er, “to bring democracy and freedom” to Ukraine by violently overthrowing her elected government in February, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry (and confirmed by German journalists, as reported by ZH yesterday) “for the role of gendarme is the Barbados-registered company Greystone Limited, which is integrated with the Academi corporation."
Says the ministry, “It is an analogue, and, probably an affiliated body of the Blackwater private army, whose employees have repeatedly been accused of committing grievous and systematic human rights abuses in different troubled regions.”
Infowars sheds further light. “Academi was known as Blackwater and then Xe following its involvement in the murder of 17 Iraqis in Nisour Square, Baghdad, in 2007. Academi’s board of directors includes former Attorney General John Ashcroft, Bobby Ray Inman, the former director of the NSA, and the company’s CEO is a retired Brigadier General, Craig Nixon.

Good explanation to the map above. Write up is so so, but maps is all you need to see.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2013/12/09/this-one-ma...
P.S.: notice this is from Dec 2013. Nobody at WH connected the dots, or is it part of flexibility?
Ukranians remember Russian Cheka favorite game of 'run around the telegraph pole.' Russian Cheka slits Ukranian's stomach, pulls out intestine and sticks it to telegraph pole with knife; then whips Ukranian and chases him around pole until intestines all wrapped around it. Cheka liked this game; killed 8 million or so Ukranians and took their land for Russians. Now it's Russia land.
Yes let's talk about history from another time that is basically unrelated besides geography instead of pertinent subject matter like military flame stoking by both sides and the escalation to a war that will make cheka look like a playground fist fight....
So Chamberlinesque, the repudiation of Russia's past brutality and nivate that it won't happen again. It will, and it won't stop with the Ukranians. The tin-foil hat crowd here can't get past the conspiracy goblins and comprehend just where the evil lies.
Again with that trick of guilt by association? USSR not equivalent to Russia.
People never grow weary of their own propaganda. So same answer as usual, no matter how hard you wish for it not to be, reality exist outside you.
The new name for Cheka is Blackwater; the Bolsheviki techniques have been adopted by the Bolshevik bankers pushing their web of debt slavery all over the globe.
Since the end of WWII, there could have been peace and human progress but not in the world of international bankers; they just couldn’t stop the slaughter of innocents and the constant drive to control the world for their evil power.
What’s your purpose in reviving Cheka horror to use against a people interested not in war but in independence?
Here’s your Cheka, now relocated in Washington, DC:
Robert Wilton, correspondent of the London Times in Russia for 17 years, in his foreword to Les Derniers Jours des Romanoffs, listed the members of the [Bolshevik Party’s] Central Committee, of the Extraordinary Commission [Cheka or secret police], and of the Council of Commissars functioning at the time of the assassination of the Imperial family.
“The 62 members of the [Central] Committee were composed of five Russians, one Ukrainian, six Letts [Latvians], two Germans, one Czech, two Armenians, three Georgians, one Karaim [Karaite] (a Jewish sect), and 41 Jews.
“The Extraordinary Commission [Cheka or Vecheka] of Moscow was composed of 36 members, including one German, one Pole, one Armenian, two Russians, eight Latvians, and 23 Jews.
“The Council of the People’s Commissar [the Soviet government] numbered two Armenians, three Russians, and 17 Jews.
“According to data furnished by the Soviet press, out of 556 important functionaries of the Bolshevik state, including the above-mentioned, in 1918-1919 there were: 17 Russians, two Ukrainians, eleven Armenians, 35 Letts [Latvians], 15 Germans, one Hungarian, ten Georgians, three Poles, three Finns, one Czech, one Karaim, and 457 Jews…”
Effective governmental power, Wilton continued, is in the Central Committee of the Bolshevik party. In 1918, he reported, this body had twelve members, of whom nine were of Jewish origin—Bronstein (Trotsky), Apfelbaum (Zinoviev), Lurie (Larine, Uritsky, Volodarski, Rosenfeld (Kamenev), Smidovich, Sverdlov (Yankel), and Nakhamkes (Steklov). The three Russians were Ulyanov (Lenin), Krylenko, and Lunacharshy.
Said Wilton, “The other Russian Socialist parties are similar in composition,” and he gives the compositions.
A public opinion poll conducted in 1990 found that three out of four Soviet citizens surveyed regarded the killing of the Tsar and the family as a despicable crime. – The Nation, June 24, 1991, p. 838
One isn’t supposed to say it, but America sealed her fate when, under the Clinton Administration, “the White House, the Senate, and much of the American media” (and now the House of Representatives and soon to be the U.S. Supreme Court) fell, as the Israelis put it, “in our hands.”
This statement came from Israeli columnist Ari Shavit in an article reprinted from the Israel newspaper Haaretz in the May 27, 1996 issue of the New York Times as he reflected sorrowfully on the wanton Israeli killing of more than 100 Lebanese civilians that April. Bill Clinton, “the lover of peace,” had raised no protest when the Israelis drove 400,000 innocent Lebanese out of their homes in “retaliation” for rockets launched into Israel, wounding one Israeli.
Okhrana->Checka-> NKVD->KGB->FSB
The new name for "Checka" is FSB. The FSB claims direct descendence.
Why on earth are you taking the side of the IMF-financed butchers in this struggle - the US-paid mercenaries who killed the unharmed protesters in Odessa, the Ukrainian National Guard troops who shot and killed Ukrainians attempting peacefully to vote in the referendum: all events clearly evidenced in Internet videos, AP reports, and German news reports?
Here’s Ron Paul yesterday on the events and the comment by Jen Psaki:
“In several eastern Ukrainian towns over the past week, the military opened fire on its own citizens. Dozens may have been killed in the violence. Although the US government generally condemns a country’s use of military force against its own population, especially if they are unarmed protesters, this time the US Administration blamed the victims. After as many as 20 unarmed protesters were killed on the May 9 holiday in Ukraine, the State Department spokesman said, ‘We condemn the outbreak of violence caused by pro-Russian separatists.’”
I really would like to know, if you are an American, why are you are siding with a State Department lie as explained here by Ron Paul?
You use too much loaded rhetoric, shallow emotive terms to be taken seriously, JR.
Regarding this clown and disgrace to the medical profession, Ron Paul..."pfft!"
And let him know that if his bullshit Texas tries to secede I would personally pull the trigger on every one of those who stepped forward in advocacy. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
The Russian nationalist insurgency in Ukraine deserves the same treatment.
.
You use too much loaded rhetoric, shallow emotive terms to be taken seriously, novictim.
In the Banderastani order, Ukrainian Yatzi Junta Citizenists have a right to aggression, other have no right to self defense.
Anyone looking for a Chemical Ali position, there is a real talent here.
Only a nutter on ZH would think that small portions of the country, the industrial portions no less, would have the right to secede!.
I don't need to invoke the 1992 Ukraine constitution to validate that position...but since it does...for a province to secede then the entireity of Ukraine needs to decide if it can.
And while I'm at it, why would you not just advocate for the 5/25/2014 election to help decide the future course in Ukraine? Why are you spurring on idiots to get themselves killed when a political solution is possible?
ZH has a lot to answer for.
Your nuts, seek help. What a load of rotten garbage.
I am with you, JR, on being in direct opposition to private security services replacing US Military Personnel.
I am against all these libertarian crap advocates for privatizing government from local to state to federal...it is all a way to create a crony constituency for the purpose of shaking down campaign dollars in the quid pro quo.
But ZH is in favor of privatization.
There are uncomfortable (for some) details on Cheka leadership; http://www.theguardian.com/world/2003/jan/25/russia.books
Very interesting, thank you.
A few paragrphs jumped out:
Interestingly it reminds me of the heavy involvment of the American [mostly secular layer of] Jews in the DNC, which for most purposes have become a soft Communist Party. One might speculate as to why, but that is a topic for another conversation.
Your references are from 2003 and since then there have been additional reviews of Solzhenitsyn’s banned book, “Jews in The Soviet Union - Two Hundred Years Together.”
This is a review of Solzhenitsyn’s book by James de Juste that was posted at Amazon.com on April 29, 2010 with later updates.
Amazon notes that “Two Hundred Years Together is an important book by an important author that has not been able to find an English language publisher anywhere in the world.”
The reviewer explains why: “It’s clear that no publisher of books in English will touch it—the publishing business, of course, being Jewish dominated. The book has been in existence for some years, and why a major book by a major writer and important ethical force in the Twentieth—or any other—century like Solzhenitsyn, should be ignored is a mystery unless it is viewed as anti-Semitic by the field of Jewish publishers, and that would be the cause of it being stonewalled.”
Said the reviewer of Solzhenitsyn’s book :
"This book can and should be taken as an extreme cautionary tale to Americans.
“What the Jews did nearly one hundred years ago to the Russians, the circumstances are setting up in a similar way to have the same kind of thing happen in the USA. Instead of Communism the flag will be the New World Order. And as Trotsky (Lev Bronstein) wanted Communism to go international, so will go the New World Order. With the very, very quiet almost infinite wealth and power of the Rothschilds behind this, you know that it is slowly coming about.”
Writes de Juste: “In any event, several chapters from ‘Two Hundred Years Together’ were translated for the book, ‘The Solzhenitsyn Reader’. So my review comments here are based on those several chapters:
Solzhenitsyn “discusses the roles of both the Russians’ and the Jews’ in the Bolshevik revolution. With the revolution, the Tsarist bureaucracy was kaput. There, aside from the Jew Trotsky and Jews of high Bolshevik rank, e.g., Zinoviev, et al., he notes the vast assignment of Jews to Bolshevik commissars, organizational, and administrative jobs, to collegiums and presidiums, and how much of that was then cruelly administered by those Jews toward the Russians…
“As yet, as I have seen in those few translated chapters – or not seen – there was no mention of the hideous and cowardly murder of the Russian royal family by the Jews, or of the largess of New York Jewish International banking money that financed Trotsky to start the revolution, monies which were not donated from a pure Socialist motivation but from a Capitalist one, a motivation toward a substantial return on investment, which indeed paid off. Those sub-plots would supposedly have to be included in the full book if we ever see it released in English.”

Please read more carefully this time.
The references are not 'mine', but from the article IndianaJohn posted, which is of 2003.
Furthermore, they, as the article states, they are not quotes from some opinionated reviewer, but rather Solzhenistsin himself.
Good day.
It's a mystery to me how these references (referring to documents by someone) were brought down to us from IndianaJohn if not by you. I was simply adding later references to the ones you provided. As they say in New York: "You got a problem with that?". Is the buck supposed to stop with you?
It's a mystery to you that people respond to other people's comments by highlighting things they find interesting in the other people's links?
The mystery that may ingrigue some is why do you keep reffering to Solzhenistsin's description of his own book as 'references'? And post other people's opinion as if more definitive of the book than author's own description of it. Mystery indeed.
get lost idiot
fucking, absolutely, genius brilliant. putin says to the usa, "you want ukrainian spring? we give you russian version. lol. what are you going to do about it? invade? lol!) merkel wants to bomb london and paris like the good old days.
Who would waste a single bomb on Londinistan?
No one can say theyre not ambitious.
With all due respect to the Durdens on this,we are really, really reaching for an excuse to make the Russo-Ukraine side somehow malevolent.
A guy who is in an empoverished country took a greese pencil to a map indicating hope for an enthnically-sensible (and majorly economically sensible) unification. At worst, it is excessive patriotism.
Contrast this with actual banker/neo-Nazi CIA and Wall Street goons who openly threaten an entire enthnolinguistic group with violence. Nay, they actually show a willingness to do it, including burning people alive.
We should cover all sides, but this 'report' is just silly.
War happens when one side refuses to surrender their freedom to an attacker. And we are in the early stages of a people declaring their intention to be free.
As you have expertly described, the violence and threats are being thrust upon East Ukrainians; the warmongering is coming from the US-based IMF thrust. And a grease pencil sign of hope may just be the most important piece of news in the world today.
The front page of the NY Times today makes no mention of the East Ukrainian referendum; the Drudge Report and other so-called news outlets are silent as well.
This is called cover up, covering the atrocities of one’s government for purposes of receiving money and favors. The whole thing is not unlike the NY Times most famous cover up: Stalin’s 1932-33 mass starvation and extinction of 7.5 million Ukrainians while the Times’ propagandist and correspondent, the notorious leftist Walter Duranty, almost single-handedly aided and abetted one of the world's most prolific mass murderers, covering up what he knew to be true.
The cover up this time ain’t gonna work; and the reason? The Internet and sites such as Zero Hedge and Global Research. Here is just one example of US-induced terrorism revealed today by the latter:
Welcome to Nulandistan: A Multimedia Look at What the US and EU Have Unleashed on Ukraine

Thanks for your post.
Interesting map. "The Autonomous Republic of Crimea" fascinates me.
When will Crimea become autonomous, I wonder?
Didn't Czarina Vladima declare Crimea now a part of Russia? Yes, he did do that. LOL
Call it "Reversion to the Mean", so to speak. Maps do change every so many years historically, and it's been Russia for most of its history.
In the past they have changed because a Ruler made a military conquest and changed it unilaterally/politically. Only now -- most recently -- have the people of various regions in the political entity known as Ukraine taken things into their own hands, and put into practice the idea that "Maps and borders do not define people. People define borders."
In effect, "The will of the People" is now deciding where borders should be, rather than Rulers, Kings, Tyrants, Aristocrats or Bureaucrats in a far away place deciding it for them. Many (myself included) would argue that many modern political problems have their roots in such willy-nilly and fiat decisions as to where to draw political boundaries, aka "borders". The ME has plenty of examples of this phenomenon, where British aristocrats drew arbitrary boundaries for most of the ME -- and (inadvertedely or deliberately) ignored the natural boundaries of geology, race, culture and religion. Thanks, Britannia!
It really does come down to this simple precept: Is there still such a thing as "We The People...", or only when our Oligarchs say it is? The implications for other parts of the world (even in the EU or the USSA) are profound: They are either joyful or scary - depending on how it might affect your "deal" with TPTB and your own lifestyle.
Change is the only constant in the Universe. -Kirk out.
R.E: The British, and 'lines in the sand' for borders. Its no accident. see Africa, Colonial India. Divide and conquer. Find an area with a dominant ethnic group. Combine with area with different dominant ethnic group. Label the resulting recipe for civil war 'independent nation'. Step back and watch the fireworks.
