Kiev's national security and defense council secretary Andriy Parubiy was feted on visits to Ottawa and Washington.
He came seeking more heavy weapons and funding than already provided. He orchestrated February 2014 Maidan killings.
As security chief, he controlled access to weapons used. He took full advantage. He positioned snipers with automatic weapons in Kiev's Philharmonic Hall. They murdered around 100 protesters and police. President Viktor Yanukovych was wrongfully blamed. His ouster followed.
Things were scripted in Washington. The rest, as they say, is history. Plans are to Nazify Ukraine nationwide.

The Rector of al-Azhar, Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, has blamed the spread of extremist militant groups in parts of the Arab world on the misinterpretation of religious teachings. "The most striking reason, that I see, is the historical accumulation of extremist tendencies… that grew out of corrupt interpretations of some texts in the Holy Quran and Sunnah [Prophet Mohamed's teachings]," Ahmed el-Tayeb, was quoted as saying this week in anti-terrorism conference in Makkah.
El-Tayeb, Egypt's top cleric, represents the Egyptian government and is often expected to rubber stamp the decisions and policies of whatever government in power, regardless of whether these decisions and policies are compatible with the teachings of Islam.

(Washington, DC) The voters of your nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., voted overwhelmingly to legalize marijuana for personal use. On November 4, 2014, 70.1% of D.C. voters said yes to the following changes to already liberal marijuana laws:
[Initiative #71] will make it lawful under District of Columbia law for a person 21 years of age or older to:
possess up to two ounces of marijuana for personal use;
grow no more than six cannabis plants with 3 or fewer being mature, flowering plants, within the person’s principal residence;
transfer without payment (but not sell) up to one ounce of marijuana to another person 21 years of age or older; and
use or sell drug paraphernalia for the use, growing, or processing of marijuana or cannabis. D.C. Cannabis Campaign (Image)
Two Republican leaders in the House of Representatives greeted the exercise in democracy with threats of jail for the D.C. mayor and chief of police. The very odd Representative Jason Chaffetz from Utah said:
“If you decide to move forward with the legalization of marijuana in the District, you will be doing so in knowing and willful violation of the law. You can go to prison for this. We’re not playing a little game here.” Rep Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) Washington Post, Feb 24

So many of us are still so childlike in our belief in “America,” the ideal, that we continue to sit in silent awe on the sidelines, waiting for someone, anyone, to explain to us how it is that our America consistently produces presidents who eagerly tear through the world like bulls in china shops, destroying heirloom governments without hesitation, in their zeal to create new, subservient mini-states.
Did George Washington and Abraham Lincoln have similar war ambitions? Would they have exported war and instigated artificial revolutions to destroy nations, in order to control their energy markets (SEE: Cold War-style confrontation between US and Russia focuses on energy rather than military)?
Would the founding fathers have admired Obama and Bush as they have so outrageously used and abused the nearly sancrosanct ideals of Democracy and “human rights,” using them as “war-bait” (a set-up for war) for luring unhappy, but unwarring nations onto the path of destruction?

U.S. President Barack Obama apparently is going ahead with his plan for NATO missiles to be placed in Ukraine aimed against Moscow, but found a way to do it that won’t violate the warnings by Russia’s President Vladimir Putin against Washington’s directly supplying those arms to Ukraine (such as is demanded of Obama by congressional Republicans, and even by a few hawkish Democrats — all passionate supporters of Hillary Clinton). Obama’s subordinate (or dependent local leader), the President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, is now arranging to receive those weapons via a less direct channel; and this arrangement couldn’t happen if the U.S. White House were opposed to it. The idea might even have originated inside the White House.

Film buffs may recall Stanley Kubrick's 1964 dark satire titled "Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb."
It depicted deranged general Jack D. Ripper's obsession to wage nuclear war - despite no Pentagon authorization. Obama may be lunatic enough to launch one.
The film ends ominously - with nuclear detonations accompanied by popular British singer Vera Lynn's famous WW II "We'll Meet Again" recording.
A previous article discussed Ukraine's deputy foreign minister Vadym Prystaiko briefly. He sounds like Jack D. Ripper.
Interviewed by Canada's CBC Radio The House program, he said "(w)e have to stop (Putin)."
"For the sake of the Russian nation…Ukrainians and Europe. (W)e are preparing for full-scale war."

The law regarding anti-Semitic behaviour in the UK
Anti-Semitic behaviour is defined as behaviour that is offensive to anybody who has Jewish heritage, and which threatens, abuses or insults such a person based on his or her Jewish nationality, race or religion. Clearly, such acts are outlawed under an act prohibiting expressions of racial hatred, and if proved to be true, can result in fine, imprisonment or both.
Dear Prime Minister,
Gilad Atzmon
In the last few weeks we have witnessed British Jewish leaders relentlessly complaining about ‘the rise of anti-Semitism.’ This morning we learned that two former foreign ministers are at the centre of a huge 'cash for access' scandal. I guess that Sir Malcom Rifkind is not going to help in the current struggle to defy anti-Semitism. Apparently the Jewish Chronicle is not convinced that Jack Straw passes the ‘Kosher’ test.
The Daily Mail reports today:
Former foreign secretaries Jack Straw and Sir Malcolm Rifkind today sought to defend themselves after becoming embroiled in a new 'cash for access' scandal where they both boasted about charging at least £5,000-a-day.

Minsk II resolved nothing. Russia bashing remains intense. Brussels imposed new sanctions. Obama intends more US ones.
Moscow and rebels are blamed for Kiev ceasefire violations. Britain intends getting more involved.
Prime Minister David Cameron is more appendage of US foreign policy than independent UK leader. RT International blasted his war-mongering featuring one Big Lie after another.
He sounds like Obama with an English accent. He's "deploying (dozens of) British service personnel to provide advice and a range of training, from tactical intelligence to logistics to medical care," he said.
"We will also be developing an infantry training programme with Ukraine to improve the durability of their forces."

Its viciousness exceeds anything in recent memory. Big Lies bury hard truths.
A February 20 Office of the Vice President statement said Joe Biden discussed "the latest situation in eastern Ukraine" with (US installed) president Poroshenko and prime minister Yatsenyuk.
He lied claiming "Russian regular troops operating inside Ukraine" supported "Russia-backed separatists" in Debaltseve - "in blatant violation of (Minsk) as well as Ukraine's sovereignty an territorial integrity."
"…Russia cannot continue to hide behind the false claim that these latest military operations are solely the work of local separatists."
