Theme: Media Disinformation, Police State & Civil Rights

According to the New York Times, “The United States and the European Union have embraced the revolution here as another flowering of democracy, a blow to authoritarianism and kleptocracy in the former Soviet space.” ( After Initial Triumph, Ukraine’s Leaders Face Battle for Credibility, NYTimes.com, March 1, 2014, emphasis added)
“Flowering Democracy, Revolution”? The grim realities are otherwise. What is a stake is a US-EU-NATO sponsored coup d’Etat in blatant violation of international law.
The forbidden truth is that the West has engineered –through a carefully staged covert operation– the formation of a proxy regime integrated by Neo-Nazis.
Confirmed by Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, key organizations in the Ukraine including the Neo-Nazi party Svoboda were generously supported by Washington: “We have invested more than 5 billion dollars to help Ukraine to achieve these and other goals. … We will continue to promote Ukraine to the future it deserves.”
The Western media has casually avoided to analyze the composition and ideological underpinnings of the government coalition. The word “Neo-Nazi” is a taboo. It has been excluded from the dictionary of mainstream media commentary. It will not appear in the pages of the New York Times, the Washington Post or The Independent. Journalists have been instructed not to use the term “Neo-Nazi” to designate Svoboda and the Right Sector.
Composition of the Coalition Government
We are not dealing with a transitional government in which Neo-Nazi elements integrate the fringe of the coalition, formally led by the Fatherland party.
The Cabinet is not only integrated by the Svoboda and Right Sector (not to mention former members of defunct fascist UNA-UNSO), the two main Neo-Nazi entities have been entrusted with key positions which grant them de facto control over the Armed Forces, Police and National Security.
While Yatsenuyk’s Fatherland Party controls the majority of portfolios and Svoboda Neo-Nazi leader Oleh Tyahnybok was not granted a major cabinet post (apparently at the request of assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland), members of Svoboda and the Right Sector occupy key positions in the areas of Defense, Law Enforcement, Education and Economic Affairs.

Andriy Parubiy [right] co-founder of the Neo-Nazi Social-National Party of Ukraine (subsequently renamed Svoboda) was appointed Secretary of the National Security and National Defense Committee (RNBOU). (Рада національної безпеки і оборони України), a key position which overseas the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces, Law Enforcement, National Security and Intelligence. The RNBOU is central decision-making body. While it is formally headed by the president, it is run by the Secretariat with a staff of 180 people including defense, intelligence and national security experts.

Parubiy was one of the main leaders behind the Orange Revolution in 2004. His organization was funded by the West. He is referred to by the Western media as the “kommandant” of the EuroMaidan movement. Andriy Parubiy together with party leader Oleh Tyahnybok is a follower of Ukrainian Nazi Stepan Bandera, who collaborated in the mass murderer of Jews and Poles during World War II.

In turn, Dmytro Yarosh, leader of the Right Sector delegation in the parliament, has been appointed Parubiy’s deputy Secretary of the RNBOU.
Yarosh was the leader of the Brown Shirt Neo-Nazi paramilitary during the EuroMaidan “protest” movement. He has called for disbanding the Party of the regions and the Communist Party.

The Neo Nazi party also controls the judicial process with the appointment of Oleh Makhnitsky of the Svoboda party to the position of prosecutor-general of Ukraine. What kind of justice will prevail with a reknown Neo-Nazi in charge of the Prosecutor’s Office of Ukraine?
Cabinet positions were also allocated to former members of the Neo-Nazi fringe organization Ukrainian National Assembly – Ukrainian National Self Defense (UNA-UNSO):

“Tetyana Chernovol, portrayed in the Western press as a crusading investigative journalist without reference to her past involvement in the anti-Semitic UNA-UNSO, was named chair of the government’s anti-corruption committee. Dmytro Bulatov, known for his alleged kidnapping by police, but also with UNA-UNSO connections, was appointed minister of youth and sports.
Yegor Sobolev, leader of a civic group in Independence Maidan and politically close to Yatsenyuk, was appointed chair of the Lustration Committee, charged with purging followers of President Yanukovych from government and public life. (See Ukraine Transition Government: Neo-Nazis in Control of Armed Forces, National Security, Economy, Justice and Education, Global Research, March 02, 2014

The Lustration Committee is to organize the Neo-Nazi witch-hunt against all opponents of the new Neo-Nazi regime. The targets of the lustration campaign are people in positions of authority within the civil service, regional and municipal governments, education, research, etc. The term lustration refers to the “mass disqualification” of people associated with the former government. It also has racial overtones. It will in all likelihood be directed against Communists, Russians and members of the Jewish community.
It is important to reflect on the fact that the West, formally committed to democratic values, has not only spearheaded the demise of an elected president, it has instated a political regime integrated by Neo-Nazis.
This is a proxy government which enables the US, NATO and EU to interfere in Ukraine’s internal affairs and dismantle its bilateral relations with the Russian Federation. It should be understood, however, that the Neo-Nazis do not ultimately call the shots: Under a “regime of indirect rule” they take their orders on crucial military and foreign policy issues –including the deployment of troops directed against the Russian federation– from the the US State Department, the Pentagon and NATO.
The World is at a dangerous crossroads: The structures and composition of this proxy government installed by the West do not favor dialogue with the Russian government and military.The RNBOU
A scenario of military escalation leading to confrontation of Russia and NATO is a distinct possibility. The Ukraine’s National Security and National Defense Committee (RNBOU) which is controlled by Neo-Nazis plays a central role in military affairs. In the confrontation with Moscow, decisions taken by the RNBOU headed by Neo-Nazi Parubiy and his brown Shirt deputy Dmytro Yarosh –in consultation with Washington and Brussels– could potentially have devastating consequences.

GHOSTS OF THE SS

The fabric of American society just does not seem to be as strong as it used to be. In fact, many would argue that society is coming apart at the seams. Corruption and decay seem to be everywhere.
The reaction is equally interesting and, to some degree, circumstances are becoming unbearably uncomfortable for most Americans who are of the opinion that the reaction is an overreaction to hyper reality and the idea that we are now facing the consequences of bad decisions, bad government and predictive programming leading us to the inevitable fate of civil upheaval before year’s end.
We have mentioned time and time again that history seems to always find a way to rhyme and when we have leaders that continually disappoint us with their Faustian bargains, the prospect of freedom and even integrity are now falling like sand through our fingers.
The unfortunate thing about the typical American is that they are too comfortable with the idea that America is too big to fail. They believe that our very form of government is immune to collapsing into a different form. It is a mistaken belief that we as Americans would know full well when our government is teetering on the brink of socialism, communism, or even despotism.
I am focusing my attention on the activities in Ukraine at the moment because of the powder keg potential and the unfolding conspiracy that needs to be exposed.
Once again, we see a band of bad guys backed by Russia fighting against another band of scumbags backed by the United States and the EU. The only problem is that the bad guys on the Russian side have a lesser chance of becoming blowbacks to western interests and the group we have sided with are a band of Nazi radicals.

I am afraid that the future can be foretold without a crystal ball, parlor cards or Ouija boards. All that is needed is objectivity and the knowledge that hypocrisy has now become the norm in the West and that every Zionist, Neocon, Christian, pro-Israeli politician in Washington has now demonstrated that they have no morals and that they do not deserve our respect.

We heard how the plan was set up to destabilize the government in Ukraine when the U.S. State Department’s diplomat for Europe Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador with Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt were caught speaking on the phone about how it would all go down.
Later, after the violence intensified, our favorite war hawk John McCain – who supported the idea of making deals with Al-Qaida in Syria – was having his Kodak moment with none other than the leader of the Neo-Nazi anti-government alliance called Svoboda. McCain was repeatedly photographed with Oleh Tyahnybok, a known anti-Semite and Neo-Nazi.

When it was founded in 1995, the Svoboda party called itself the Social-National Party of Ukraine. Its symbol was similar to that of the SS. Jewish leaders in Ukraine are worried about the alliance and the twisted irony is the pro-Israel stance of John McCain seems a bit hollow right now and the actions of Pyatt and Nuland – both of whom are Jews – don’t add up.

However, now we have on record John McCain selling out to the Nazis and making deals that will most definitely blowback in the future. The conspiracy of bringing down the United States and making it a puppet for the new world socialist order is not a secret conspiracy – but an open conspiracy. Tyranny succeeds because the victims become “willing executioners” in the absence of better choices.
We are now seeing this being illustrated perfectly in Ukraine.

The leadership of the United States and the European Union will be responsible for World War III and its beginnings will be traced back to Ukraine and how a coup d’etat unleashed a monster that we thought was annihilated when Hitler took his final breath.
It used to be that I could tell a story that sounded as if it was an outline for a politically-inept ‘Twilight Zone’ TV show and have it be criticized as an overreaction. I would counter back that throughout history our own politicians, the ones that we trust would shake hands and make deals with devils and be praised for their patriotism.
This has happened far too many times in our history, from the time Donald Rumsfeld was practically French kissing Saddam Hussein to the deals that were made with Osama bin Laden in order to bring down Soviet Russia.
All of these back room deals with criminals and terrorists happen all of the time. The American people really do not see how potentially bad these practices are and with enough propaganda we don’t feel bad about sending our kids off to war to serve criminals and whores that made shady deals with even bigger demons that have been unleashed like a virus into the world theater of blood.
Our so-called leaders have developed a blueprint for some retro-causality where effect is seen before the cause and all of the reality has to be used to fill in the gaping holes in the story that the mainstream narrative fails to seal.
The United States has rolled over and played dead with regards to our new-found imperial cult. Our President, along with people like John Kerry, John McCain, George Soros, and Zbigniew Brzezinski, are making deals with corrupt groups in hopes that they will turn on us and give us impetus for all out war.
I can see it all now: World War III will have the entire same cast of characters World War II gave us, only the names have changed and the flags have been altered so that no one really knows that the ghosts of the past have returned for another showdown.
In the 1930’s it was Prescott Bush that made deals with the Nazis, and later it happened again in 1998 across Asia. In 2004, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine was aided by George Soros and the Nazi ghosts continued to materialize as the British Empire backed a band of useless Nazi idiots in order to aid in this bloody coup d’etat we are hearing about now.

UKRAINE US 'Supports Neo-Nazis" Group Svobada In Ukraine: Investigative Journalist 25Feb2014

Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen told Press TV that he is also seeing the Nazis being given power and ironically it is being done by Zionists and so-called supporters of Israel. “The American government supports neo-Nazis, but I just find it absolutely ironic that those who are neoconservative and pro-Israel are also supporting neo-Nazis who made a large portion of Ukrainian illegal government,” he also made the revelation known on several other independent talk shows across the country.
So far the mainstream media will not expose these deals being made and the purveyors of the left right paradigm also seem to be blind to the betrayal being carried out and come election time all will be forgotten from Benghazi to Nazi deals being made by useless Neocons like McCain who is now becoming a lapdog war-hawk for Barack Obama.
Can anyone explain why John McCain is not being arrested for not only support Al-Qaeda but making deals with known Nazi sympathizers in Ukraine?
Does anyone see that Victoria Nuland is following in the footsteps of her husband Robert Kagan – who is known as the architect of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan?
If American citizens knew this, do you think they would support the President and his tough words about harming the so-called protesters?
Does this also demonstrate that American politics are vile and mean nothing to the morale of the country? Are we now voting in mobsters and psychopathic opportunists that are making deals with monsters?
Is John McCain so caught up in being a Cold War relic that it has blinded him to the fact that – even though he hates Russia – they helped us defeat the very Nazi ideals that are espoused by the man he decided to take a “selfie” with?
How can ordinary Americans that have problems of their own understand or even care what is happening in Ukraine? The truth is they can’t and the United States government is ‘banking’ on the fact that you won’t pay attention to their deals with terrorists – and again now – Nazis.
Americans should care because selfish geopolitical interests are fueling this deal. Our new polices with the Neo-Nazis has created a monster in Ukraine which fuels instability and civil war. This is bait that is being cast out so that Russia will be hooked into the fray.
Then when Russia understands what is happening we could most definitely see ourselves on the precipice of a possible nuclear standoff and worse a nuclear attack.
However, we are not hearing about this at all. All we hear about is peace-loving protestors who are being supported by Barack Obama. We hear that the goal of the protests is to free Europe from ‘Putin the Horrible’. The truth is uglier than anyone would care to know as we see ghosts from Hitler’s SS, Operation Paperclip and the “ORG” materialize and haunt the world again.
Russia Today noted that in Kiev statues in the city that depicted the Russian victory of Nazi Germany have been toppled. In the rubble and on the walls there are spray painted swastikas being seen everywhere.

The Svoboda organization has not only placed their yellow flags in various places they have also adopted the red and black flag of the Organization of Ukrainian nationalists and its military arm known as the UPA. John McCain has been seen with both Oleh Tyahnybok, and Svoboda’s founder Stepan Bandera.
Bandera was a leading collaborator of the Nazis and his organization prepared the way for the Nazi invasion of Ukraine in 1941.
The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) were “responsible for the massacre of up to 100,000 Poles in 1943-44, and, according to the official history of the British MI6, after the war the group was taken over by British intelligence and was controlled in the 1950s by the Gehlen Organization in Germany, after Reinhard Gehlen became head of the BND [Federal Intelligence Agency],” according to the article ‘Western Powers Back Neo-Nazi Coup In Ukraine‘.
That’s right, Reinhard Gehlen became all cozy with his new position at the CIA just before World War II ended and we made deals with Nazis during Operation Paperclip.

Svoboda has also teamed up with another Neo-Nazi group known as Spilna Sprava (or ‘Common Cause’), a group that actually goes by the initials SS. They call themselves the “Stormtroopers”, they are anti-Semitic and have actually recruited over 300 “Afghani” guerillas that fought in Syria on the side of pro al-Qaeda groups against the Assad regime.
CounterPunch published an article in January called “Ukraine and the Rebirth of Fascism,” by Eric Draitser. Draitser has been vital in exposing the truth about the Ukraine debacle. His began with the warning:
“The violence on the streets of Ukraine is far more than an expression of popular anger against a government. Instead, it is merely the latest example of the rise of the most insidious form of fascism that Europe has seen since the fall of the Third Reich…. In an attempt to pry Ukraine out of the Russian sphere of influence, the U.S.-EU-NATO alliance has, not for the first time, allied itself with fascists.”
The BBC is reporting now that both the EU and the United States are committed to supporting and putting our hopes in a new generation of politicians. This new generation is being supported by the Obama administration.
So does anyone want to explain to Barack Obama, John McCain, Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt that they have organized and have endorsed a fascist coup and that they have handed over their support to Nazis?
I have a feeling they already know this.
I also have a feeling they don’t want you to know this.

China Rejects Corn from U.S. Stepping up inspections due to several shipments found of GMO Corn attempted to be exported by U.S.

China does not want GMO corn from the U.S., it just rejected a shipment of corn from the U.S. after finding out it was GMO.

China is stepping up it's inspection of corn imports from the U.S., due to finding several shipments of non-approved GMO corn.

How come the U.S. allows genetically modified corn and other vegetables, yet even China does not want GMO corn.

How come our government allows our vegetables to be modified and essentially poison us but other governments are interested in maintaining their citizens health?

We have a right to healthy non-GMO food. We have a right to have all GMO food products labeled saying what they are. We already know from lab test, GMO vegetables cause cancer and many other ailments.

But as we all know Monsanto is in charge of our FDA and they are in fact intimidating and working on closing all real organic farms. They are basically making it illegal for organic farms to exist and making it illegal to grow your own organic vegetables. When I say organic, I also mean Heirloom non-GMO seeds.

China along with Europe and other countries do not want GMO seeds/vegetables and are having to be diligent in stopping GMO food from getting into their country.

I have no doubt, Monsanto wants the seeds to be smuggled into the countries and the farmer's crops/fields be tainted with GMO seeds.

From article about China:

China has returned 887,000 tonnes of U.S. corn shipments tainted with a genetically-modified (GM) strain not approved by the country's agriculture ministry since lastOctober.

These corn shipments were found to contain the unapproved MIR162, a strain of insect-resistent transgenic corn, according to the General Administration of Quality Supervision,Inspection and Quarantine.

China detected the first batch of MIR162 tainted corn shipment from the U.S. in lastOctober in Shenzhen, and found several batches at the country's different ports after that.

The administration urged local entry-exit inspection and quarantine bureaus to step updetection of the imported farm produce and return or destroy those tainted withunapproved GM components.

Will the next pandemic be downloaded from the internet?

By Jamie Bartlett Science Last updated: February 26th, 2014
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/technology/jamiebartlett/100012564/will-the-next-pandemic-be-downloaded-from-the-internet/

I do hope that GCHQ is monitoring my computer. That’s not something you hear every day – especially since Edward Snowden. But anyone who, like me, has been searching for "DNA synthesisers" and "type H botulinum toxin" might be worth checking out. Whenever we debate security and privacy online, both sides have their go-to staples: terrorists/paedophiles versus Orwell/Stasi. But there are other risks looming on the horizon. Could the next deadly pandemic be downloaded from the internet? According to a recent article by Andrew Synder-Beattie from the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, it’s possible.
To those in the know, synthetic biology is one of the most exciting fields in life sciences. Broadly speaking, it applies engineering and computer science to biology: trying to design and engineer new biological parts or systems for socially useful purposes. This is done at the genetic level, which means reprogramming DNA sequences to give biological organisms new functions not naturally found. Before you recoil in horror, it might mean, for example, we could safely programme bacteria to produce fuel incredibly efficiently and cheaply. If it can be done carefully, the potential to feed and fuel the world is phenomenal. The UK is a leader in the field, and in July the government wisely poured £60 million into the development of the field.
But it is also quite frightening, mainly because of the risk of what the nuclear non-proliferation experts call "dual-use". A dual use technology is a technology that has a legitimate purpose, but can also be used in illicit products or weaponry. You won't be surprised to learn that some DNA sequences are harmful, and others, if modified, could be extremely dangerous. As it stands, the field is fairly good at self-regulating. In 2010, the US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity, which brings together scientists, public health officials and defence experts released a report on synthetic biology. It noted that biosafety could be managed with the right mechanisms of oversight, but also "strongly urged" the federal government to develop and implement a policy "for the review and conduct of dual use research of concern". That still hasn’t happened. And according to a 2014 paper from the University of Virginia, there is currently no country that has legislation that explicitly addresses synthetic biology. It’s all self-regulation.
The big worry is of course sensitive information getting online, because once it's out it tends to stay there. There are a growing number of open source biology movements, such as bio-hackers, biopunks, the users of "openwetware" and DIY-BIO fans, who pursue synthetic biology outside of the lab. So far these groups are regarded by experts as pretty responsible. But that could change of course, and the consequences could be high. When scientists late last year sequenced the DNA for type H botulinum toxin, it was not placed on any public databases because of security fears. This was the first time that a genetic code was not shared publicly, and for good reason. It is the most deadly substance ever discovered: 2 billionths of a gram is enough to kill one person. One reason it’s been published is because DNA synthesisers, machines that can take lines of DNA and turn it into molecules, are also surprisingly easy to get hold of. You can buy one for a few thousand dollars on eBay. With DNA code and a synthesiser, you too may be able to make some DNA of your own.
Of course, it’s probably not only rogue DIY biologists we should be worried about. WikiLeaks reports have alleged that the US intelligence community is interested in DNA collection, and even asked US diplomatic staff to collect the DNA of African leaders. Others I have spoken to about this subject off the record have expressed a worry what other, less scrupulous countries, might be up to in this burgeoning field.
Before you panic, this has been going on for a while. The polio virus was successfully reproduced over a decade ago; and the infamous 1918 flu virus was recreated by a DNA synthesiser back in 2005. Neither have been set upon an unsuspecting public. This is presently considered by the UK government to be a potential threat: a low-probability, high-impact problem. The degree of technical know-how required to actually do this is still high, and in the US the FBI has initiated decent oversight systems to monitor how DNA sequences are accessed. Pandora’s box isn’t opened just yet. The problem is that Pandora’s boxes have a tendency to get opened, especially with modern technology and communications. In his recent book Innovation, Dual Use and Security Jonathan Tucker argues that synthetic biology is likely to become easier for the non-specialist in the years ahead – including for non-state actors to use it for nefarious purposes. I have a feeling debates over security and liberty privacy online might change in future. Security might come to mean something slightly different in an age of synthetic biology – and given what's at stake, it's probably better we worrying about this sooner rather than later.

Sinister secrets of the school for Nazi brides: From love pledges to the Fuhrer, to lessons in breeding the master race... The astonishing expose of Himmler's bridal bootcamp

By Jane Thynne
PUBLISHED: 17:00 EST, 1 March 2014 | UPDATED: 20:42 EST, 1 March 2014

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2570959/Sinister-secrets-school-Nazi-brides-From-love-pledges-Fuhrer-lessons-breeding-master-race-The-astonishing-expose-Himmlers-bridal-bootcamp.html
This has to be the most romantic spot in Germany. That was my first thought on seeing Schwanenwerder Island, a tiny peninsula on the edge of Berlin’s Grunewald, so named after the swans that swim on its sparklingly clear lake.
But wandering past handsome houses with large gardens and high walls, I found something decidedly less romantic at its heart.
The stately white mansion at No 28 Inselstrasse, with lush lawns rolling down to the water’s edge, once housed the first Nazi bride school, an institution established by the regime to train young women in obedience, housekeeping, child-raising and – most importantly – loving the Führer.

Standartenfuehrer Richard Fiedler during his wedding ceremony with Ursula Flamm in 1936, was attended by Joseph Goebbels, pictured behind the happy couple

The schools, called Reichsbräuteschulen, were all but forgotten until recently, a quirk of Third Reich history that had somehow been overlooked. But last year a manual unearthed in Germany’s Federal Archive in the city of Koblenz gave a rare glimpse into their strict routine and the sinister vows sworn by women who attended them.
The schools were the brainchild of Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, Hitler’s own paramilitary defence force. Himmler was obsessed with ensuring that women marrying into the SS were suitable consorts, so in 1935 he established the schools to train girls to become perfect wives.

More...

But it wasn’t easy to qualify. Himmler wanted to keep his elite force ‘racially pure’, so if a woman became engaged to an SS officer, she first had to have her pedigree assessed by the SS Race and Settlement Office to be certain she had no Jewish or mixed blood.
Women had to be able to determine their Aryan ancestry with birth and marriage certificates dating back to 1800, which sometimes involved them visiting all the churches where their ancestors married to find the proof. If a woman discovered her great-grandmother, for example, had some Jewish blood, the wedding would not be authorised and the SS officer would have to choose between his job and his fiancee.
Brides also had to undergo the humiliation of having their nose and upper lip measured to ensure their features conformed to the correct Aryan type, and complete forms detailing any family history of conditions such as tuberculosis.

Becoming SS wives: A group of women at are taught how to properly wash their 'genetically desirable' children at Heinrich Himmler's Reichsbräuteschulen - bridal school

Practice makes 'perfect': The days at the bridal school started early with outdoor exercise, before moving on to lessons in healthy eating, sewing, childcare, interior decor and above all how to teach children to worship Hitler

Only when a certificate was issued permitting the wedding to go ahead could women enter the bridal bootcamp and plan their big day. Residential courses began two months before the wedding and cost 135 Reichmarks – the equivalent of £500 today. The daily routine was vigorous, starting early with outdoor gymnastics and sometimes an open-air bath before breakfast. This was followed by a long day covering topics such as healthy eating, sewing, childcare and interior decor (with an emphasis on using Germanic materials). Lessons on household budgeting might be followed by instruction on how to iron an SS dress uniform.
There were sessions too on how to polish your future husband’s boots and dagger, fatten geese, arrange flowers, make conversation at dinner parties, change linen, polish a floor and, above all, how to exhibit proper obedience to a husband. Every bride learned the ‘Ten Commandments for the German Woman’, which included ‘Keep your body pure’ and ‘Hope for as many children as possible’.
Yet these bride schools had far more sinister ambitions than turning out women who could sew the hems of curtains or stuff a herring. Hitler saw mothers as the ‘culture bearers’ to the next generation and he believed a woman’s most essential task was to indoctrinate her children with the Nazi ideology.
For example, brides were conditioned to tell fairy tales with the correct racial slant. Accordingly, the Prince in Cinderella rejected the ugly sisters not because of their looks but because they were racially undesirable Slavs. Brides also learned a bedtime prayer to teach children. It was based on the Lord’s Prayer but began ‘Mein Führer, Ich kenn dich wohl und habe dich lieb wie Vater und Mutter’ – ‘My Leader, I know you well and I love you like my father and mother.’
CENTRAL to the training were the lessons in Volksgemeinschaft – community spirit – focusing on race and genetics. Women were taught how ‘defective’ genes, such as those possessed by people with mental illness or Jewish blood, weakened the national stock. There was a strong message too against smoking – one of Hitler’s bugbears – because tobacco corrupted the ‘germ cell’ of the nation.
While the stated aim of the schools was ‘to mould housewives out of office girls’, the manual unearthed in Federal archives reveals how seriously the Nazi regime took marital conditioning. It details the formal vows women took before gaining the certificate to authorise their marriage.
In particular, women had to pledge undying loyalty to Hitler and promise to remain ‘Sustainers of the Germanic Race’. They would ‘become proficient in cooking and housekeeping, sewing, washing and ironing, childcare, nursing and home design’ and raise their children ‘in accordance with the ideals of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party.’
The vows even covered the form of the wedding service itself. Himmler rejected Christianity and preferred his men to hold neo-pagan ceremonies called SS Eheweihen, which took place not in a church, but in front of a party functionary and an altar decorated with SS symbols and oak leaves.

Their leader: Hitler and Gertrud Scholtz-Klink, the head of the NS-Women's League, shaking hands at a meeting of the Nazi party at Nuremberg in 1935

The happy couple exchanged silver rings engraved with mystical runes, and they received a copy of Mein Kampf. On top of the wedding cake, a little sugar figurine of Hitler was a popular choice.
As the author of spy novels set in pre-war Berlin, I have long been fascinated by the lives of women living under the Nazis. The Third Reich was an intensely masculine regime but I wanted to look at things from the opposite sex. Certainly, no woman in Nazi Germany could be in any doubt about the lifestyle planned for her. She only had to listen to the exhortations of Hitler’s deputy, Hermann Goering: ‘Take hold of the frying pan, dustpan and broom, and marry a man.’
Every culture, including our own, is preoccupied with the role of women, but the Third Reich took this anxiety to obsessive lengths. Not only were there bride schools, but mother schools were made compulsory, conditioning millions of women to take the Nazi message to the next generation. By 1937, more than a million German women had attended such courses and Hitler’s efforts to raise the birth rate began to bear fruit.
There was no tax at all for families with more than six children, women who had more than four children were awarded ‘mother crosses’ and newlyweds received a state loan of 1,000 Reichsmarks from which they kept a quarter for each child they produced. Abortion and contraception were banned, and voluntary childlessness was classified a ‘diseased mentality’.
Gertrud Scholtz-Klink, the Women’s Führer who joined Himmler in establishing the bride schools, announced: ‘It is our task to awaken once again the sense of the divine, to make the calling to motherhood the way through which the German woman will see her calling to be mother of the nation.’ An article from the Nazi women’s magazine, the NS-Frauen Warte, about the bride school in the city of Oldenburg showed fresh-faced girls in starched aprons gathered around a kitchen table. It also included the fond recollections of one unnamed housewife about her time at a bride school.

In charge: Gertrude Scholtz-Klink helped Himmler set up the bridal schools

‘The days were full, the training thorough, and the evenings of reading, singing, and games were delightful. The future families they would have as wives and mothers were always at the centre of the programme.
'That gave the six weeks the unity and organisation that so pleased the brides, creating that atmosphere of community that would last past the course.’
The same article pictured a newlywed SS wife getting to grips with life as a housewife. ‘She has forgotten her job, which she thought she could not live without, and instead her thoughts revolve around her household tasks,’ the magazine said.
Today, of course, the very idea of bride school sends a shudder down the spine. Yet some aims of the Nazi bride schools were not that different from modern pre-wedding spa breaks.
Women approaching marriage needed time away, according to an official manual: ‘In circles of 20 students, young girls should attend courses at the institute, preferably two months before their wedding day, to recuperate spiritually and physically, to forget the daily worries associated with their previous professions, to find the way and to feel the joy for their new lives as wives.’
Like other totalitarian regimes, the Nazis ensured that every moment of its citizens’ spare time would be occupied, leaving little opportunity to sit and think. For girls this meant the Bund Deutscher Mädel – the League of German Girls – from the age of ten to 18, followed by six months of ‘work service’ when they either toiled on the land or were sent to private homes to become domestic helps. After that came the National Socialist Women’s League.

The extent to which the Nazis controlled the lives of women is clearly illustrated in one of Hitler’s first enterprises after coming to power – the Reich Fashion Bureau. Hitler understood fashion’s value as a weapon of ideological control, so the Bureau promoted traditional German dress and Tyrolean jackets, while foreign trends were banned. He believed the styles pioneered by designers such as Coco Chanel encouraged an unnaturally slender silhouette which might affect the fertility of German women.
But women weren’t allowed to be too sexually enticing. Cosmetics were frowned upon – Hitler loathed lipstick – and the ideal woman didn’t paint her nails or dye her hair.
In 1939, in the SS newspaper Das Schwarze Korps, an unnamed SS wife wrote: ‘Hitler awakens in us that which is eternal and unalterable in the German concept of woman.’ Yet the irony of the bride schools was that the routines learned there were a stark contrast to the lives led by high-level Nazi wives such as couture-loving Magda Goebbels, who was married to Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, and Emmy Goering, an actress who regretted that her husband was a politician rather than an actor. The behaviour of many top wives differed dramatically from the ideal.
STANDING in the peace of Schwanenwerder that day, it was hard to imagine a time when the island was a gated community of luxury villas, commandeered for senior members of the Third Reich, including Albert Speer and Rudolf Hess.
A short distance from the bride school stands the site of Joseph Goebbels’s villa, where Diana Mitford and Oswald Mosley held their wedding breakfast in 1936. It was strange to imagine the bride school itself, with swastikas on its gateposts, and posters declaring ‘Cooking Is The Woman’s Weapon’ and ‘Order Saves You Time And Effort’ tacked to its walls.
I wondered if all pupils conformed to its draconian regime. Surely some of those girls harboured doubts about the life they were embarking on? Perhaps some had other reasons for closeting themselves away? It was then that I thought: ‘What better setting for a novel.’

The use of micro-nukes to takedown the WTC complex — 9/11 through different eyes

The thirteenth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States fall later this year, surprisingly we still have many unanswered questions

By Staff Writer

NEW YORK CITY (INTELLIHUB) – Why does the U.S. government continue to cover-up the actual events that took place on Sept. 11, 2001? Okay, I admit it, maybe that’s a stupid question.
While some are calling for an independent investigation of the events that took place that day, many independent investigations have actually been conducted, including one by the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. The group, composed of over a thousand credentialed architects and engineers, is determined to find out just what caused the buildings in the World Trade Center complex to collapse at near free-fall speeds back in 2001.
While the group’s spokesman Richard Gage, who I have interviewed several times, maintains that nano-thermite was used to bring down the towers. Which very well may be true, however there may have been other weapons used in conduction with the nano-thermite to knockout the main cores of the buildings in order to achieve the intended effect, minimizing collateral damage in the neighborhood.
Although one thing is for sure and is really not open for debate, the actual impact from the alleged passenger planes did not cause the collapse of the WTC’s towers 1 and 2 that stood proud above the New York skyline, nor did the jet fuel or fires throughout the buildings. In fact, we can clearly see that this was not the case, because the tops of the buildings actually started to collapse first, dustifying themselves in mid-air as reported by Dr. Judy Wood who conducted an independent investigation.
However, interestingly enough, it’s also a fact that micro-nukes exist, and have since the 1950′s, opening an entirely new can of worms for some researchers.
Wikipedia explains:
The Special Atomic Demolition Munition (SADM) was a family of man-portable nuclear weapons fielded by the US military in the 1960s, but never used in actual combat. The US Army planned to use the weapons in Europe in the event of a Soviet invasion. US Army Engineers would use the weapon to irradiate, destroy, and deny key routes of communication through limited terrain such as the Fulda Gap. Troops were trained to parachute into Soviet occupied western Europe with the SADM and destroy power plants, bridges, and dams.
The project, which involved a small nuclear weapon, was designed to allow one person to parachute from any type of aircraft carrying the weapon package and place it in a harbor or other strategic location that could be accessed from the sea. Another parachutist without a weapon package would follow the first to provide support as needed.
The two-person team would place the weapon package in the target location, set the timer, and swim out into the ocean where they would be retrieved by a submarine or a high-speed surface water craft.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the United States developed several different types of lightweight nuclear devices. The main one was the W54, a cylinder 40 by 60 cm (about 16 by 24 inches) that weighed 68 kg (150 lbs). It was fired by a mechanical timer and had a variable yield equivalent to between 10 tons and 1 kiloton of TNT. The W54 nuclear device was used in the Davy Crockett Weapon System.
Now do I have your undivided attention?
On 9/11 there is no doubt that multiple bombs were detonated in the WTC complex. This fact can not be disputed and is clearly documented by hundreds of videos and backed up by many eye-witness testimonies, including highly credible first responders and firefighters. In fact, seismic readings from that day even indicate that at least 3 large man-made explosions, possibly nuclear by signature, took place underground the WTC complex. Could these be the actual blast that took out the cores of buildings 1, 2 and 7 in the WTC complex? Is this what the U.S. government has been hiding all along?

Interestingly, previous tests have been conducted by factions of the U.S. government in which they used micro-nukes to demolish rather large buildings. The results were astonishing to say the least, almost a perfect mirror of the collapse of buildings 1, 2, and 7 that took place in Sept. of 2001.
To no surprise during the construction boom of the 19th century as large skyscrapers started to become a norm in America , detailed plans to demo large buildings became mandatory in some large city municipalities, required by the city itself in actual city building ordinances. But what if that building is too big to demolish with conventional explosives? How could such a large building be demolished so that the surrounding buildings would remain unaffected? And to think, all of this is likely a dilemma that large cities may still face to this day.
Interestingly, some have even gone as far as to say that micro-nuclear devises were always installed in the WTC towers 1, and 2, to meet demolition ordinance requirements required by NYC building code. If this is true, the nuclear devises would have had to have been regularly maintained and inspected by military elements and possibly the U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE) or the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Is it possible this was an option?

The use of micro-nukes in the WTC complex on 9/11–the smoking gun

It’s safe to say that high energy releases have a distinct look.
Dr. Ed Ward has documented what he believes is the use of micro-nukes on the World Trade Center complex attack that took place in September of 2001.
One of the smoking guns in this case is that over 5.3 billion pounds of steel was instantly turned into 2 billion pounds of dust, but that’s not all.
Massive steel beams were bent like pretzels as the towers collapsed.
One video shows the penthouse on building 7 being demolished on the roof just before the building comes down. This proves that a top-down demolition process was being utilized, otherwise the buildings might have just twisted, naturally falling over themselves. But perhaps the most startling revelation is the fact that vehicles looked incinerated up to one mile away from the towers. Cars were even flipped over as if they came out of a war zone.
The fact that many of the first responders are now dead if not very sick does not sound like the byproduct of a falling building but more like they got a massive dose of deadly radiation. Most of the responders have died of blood cancer, yet another sign of radiation exposure.
Cars not hit by falling debris yet totally destroyed far away from the towers
Molten metal was seen in and around the debris of the WTC for months.
There is also the fact that the debris field was substantially low for the magnitude of buildings that were destroyed, thus signifying that most of the debris was incinerated upon the demo blast.
Massive craters under the WTC complex were formed, likely from the detonation of micro-nukes, as the rock was even melted smooth. Later after the site was fairly cleaned up and the craters were excavated, the city of New York continued to wash down the cavities with hoses daily for years as traces of Tritium were found, signifying the use of nuclear weaponry. Evidence shows that levels of Tritium were 55 times higher than normal in the WTC debris. Tritium is a by-product of a nuclear blast.
The fact that the WTC buildings were pulverized into a fine dust, 20 microns in size or less, cannot be ignored. This is a tell-tale sign of a high energy release typical of a nuclear explosion. Eyewitness accounts and personal testimony indicate that people were thrown an entire city block from what was described as a warm wind just as the towers begin to collapse.
There were also multiple reports of “hanging skin” or “melted skin” on victims around ground zero. This was a common occurrence in the Hiroshima blast.
Major hot spots were reported in and around the debris for up to six months after 9/11.
This is commonly referred to as “China Syndrome”, where nuclear material will continue to undergo fission for a period of time, generating massive heat plumes.
To no surprise, videos obtained via Freedom of Information ACT (FOIA) requests show that sections of the video and audio have been removed, especially during the beginning of the collapse of the towers. Why would the government need to remove these sections of the video and audio?

Impending EMP attack?

Rumors have been going around the web about Obama ordering the death of the power grid. This has evolved into the method - an EMP attack.

The cold hard truth about EMP

There is absolutely no way EMP can be used to take down the grid and there are plenty of examples of this, even in recent years. Furthermore, there is absolutely no way EMP can be used to cause widespread death of electronics, and there are plenty of examples of this, even post year 2000. I know you have been told otherwise, but everything out there is a lie. EMP is NOT a widespread threat to the infrastructure, nor is it a widespread threat to gadgets and other electronic items.

History is full of cold hard proof

EMP was noticed during the Nevada nuclear tests. It was discovered that nuclear detonations will trip circuit breakers, and on rare occasion can cause damage to electronic devices that are connected to very long runs of wire. EMP from nuclear weapons happens between 100 khz and 10 mhz depending upon the environment the nukes are set off in. So there you get your math to work with when it comes to nukes. The limiting factor in what a nuke can do is the frequency the nuke produces, which in the radio world is a low frequency even at 10 mhz. The worst case scenarios during the Nevada tests were the tripping of nearby circuit breakers (within 50 miles) and possible destruction of a rotary type phone multiplexer at a small phone company located nearest to the testing grounds, where it was suspected that ONE (1) of the many nuclear detonations was able to couple with the phone lines and blow the switch out. But the contacts in these switches had a life span of a week at most, and were noisy and problematic at worst. Anyone with a little age should be able to remember how noisy and poor the phones were 40 years ago because of how these multiplexer switches functioned. By modern standards they were absolute trash, so it is really hard to determine whether or not EMP damaged the switch or if it failed on it's own.
During a high altitude nuclear test (which is advertised as the worst case scenario for EMP) performed over the Pacific ocean, within eyeshot of Hawaii, the only thing that happened for certain is several burglar alarms were set off, the circuit breaker to the street lights in Waikiki (on the main drag) tripped, and one dead car starter motor was blamed on the test. THAT IS ALL. Nothing was destroyed in a way that could be directly pinned on the nuclear test because car starter motors fail too frequently for the ONE that was in question to be provably pinned on the test. The EMP from that test resulted, in reality, in the need to reset the circuit breaker for the street lights and the need to reset a few burglar alarms. NO DAMAGE.

Ahh, but modern electronics are not the same, and will blow, RIGHT?

Not so fast. There were plenty of nuclear tests in the early part of the transistor and microchip age and NOTHING got blown out EVER. In all cases, nuclear EMP was only able to couple with devices that had long wires in them, and modern electronics have NONE, NADA, ZIP. To pick up an electrical charge that is delivered by a frequency, you need an appropriate antenna. Everything in modern electronics has been miniaturized down to the lowest possible expense, and there is NOTHING for the EMP from a nuke to couple with inside modern electronic devices. The average EMP needs, at 1 mhz, a length of wire a thousand feet long to drive a charge into. How long is your Iphone? And 10 mhz needs a wire 100 feet long. This presents a real problem for the "high altitude burst destroying everything" scenario, because when detonated at a high altitude, nuclear weapons hit the bottom of the frequency scale and produce EMP's in the 100 Khz range. THAT would take a 10,000 foot length of wire to couple with. How many people have THAT sitting around the house?

Ahh, but there are specialized devices that hit ultra high frequencies now, even microwave frequencies, and THEY would surely blow everything out, RIGHT?

Answer: Though high frequencies above 1 ghz will easily couple with and blow out ANYTHING, there is a little problem with using them for destruction. It's called water vapor, and it is a major component of the atmosphere.
Water vapor limits the range, in the BEST CASE SCENARIO, to two miles. And if it is raining, modern high frequency EMP weapons only reach out a block or two. They do a decent job of destroying everything within range, but that range is too short to cause a wide scale disaster. Remember in the first Matrix, how they had to wait for the sentinels to get close before using their EMP weapon to take them out? That was accurate. That really is how high frequency EMP weapons work.
Frequencies in the 10 - 1 meter range 50-500 Mhz are also not good for EMP weapons, because it takes too much power at medium frequencies to wipe anything out. You can get right up to a super high powered UHF Tv station antenna with your walkman, and you will still hear the music (after walking away, at that close a range your walkman would probably be jammed).

But "EMP" WILL BE "USED" to destroy EVERYTHING if the public is unaware of the realities, BECAUSE:

It's awful easy to flip a switch to cut the power, and say EMP did it. All cars manufactured since 2004 for sale in America have a MANDATED cell network controlled kill switch which was announced in 2003 and subsequently shut up about and fully censored, and Onstar vehicles and some vehicles from Mercedes Ford and Dodge have had it longer. Intel processors, everything Centrino and newer, including ALL core2, Sandy Bridge, I series and recently even the Pentiums and Celerons have a cell network coupled kill switch.

So when the BIG EMP happens, it really does not need to do any damage, we have allowed tyranny to progress so far that whenever they want they can cut the power and just shut your car off and kill your computer and no doubt many other things, just with a command. WE DO NOT NEED EMP FOR ANY DISASTERS NOW, but it would SURE make a good excuse for one, would it not?

When the lights go out, consider that.

Updates to the above

I can see it already, how the above is going to be "debunked". So let me go over a few real world post year 2000 examples of what I am talking about . . . . 1. North Korea has detonated several nukes after the year 2000 and SOUTH KOREA IS STILL ONLINE. If nuclear EMP was that bad, it would have been lights out in South Korea. Why did nothing happen at all?
2. The fission byproducts from the big blast at reactor 3 prove all by themselves that a nuclear weapon style blast happened there, YET THE LIVE CAM KEPT WORKING. IF nuclear Emp was as bad as what is said, HOW did that live cam keep working, when it was looking right at it? And don't tell me the official story - that it was only a hydrogen blast. If you have paid attention to the Fukushima issue for this long, you should not be that ignorant.

3. An easily proven nuclear weapon blast compliments of Israel via a gift given them by their psychoservants in the FED was recorded by a digital video camera in Syria, and THAT camera also survived filming it. If EMP was as bad as stated, HOW did that camera survive?
And I am sure my "walkman next to a television station" line will get ripped, but anyone knowing radio wave propagation would realize that is in fact a good comparison. If that antenna is broadcasting at 500 mhz, it will be able to couple with a walkman 500 times as well as an average nuclear EMP. And if you are within 50 feet of a nuke going off, you are not going to worry about your walkman. Let's say a run of the mill 5 megaton nuke is used for the EMP scam when it happens -
If you are within 30 miles of that nuke, you are dead. Within 60 miles? results will vary. And I have always said that within the hard kill zone of a nuke EMP will be so overwhelming it will knock out everything, good antenna or not. HOWEVER, EMP will be so attenuated by distance that it will be nothing to worry about outside the kill zone. Bottom line? Emp is about as dangerous for about as far as the heat and shock wave will reach. If the blast won't kill you, the EMP won't blow your Iphone.
Back to the TV antenna analogy. 50,000 watts 50 feet away. Let's say for a time frame of one second. How much of a nuclear EMP effect would THAT equal for your walkman?
Here is the math - Nuclear EMP, 3 microseconds. TV station - 1,000,000 microseconds. Divided difference = 333,333 times the time exposure for the television station. Multiply 50,000 watts by 333,333 for equal power transfer into your walkman at equal frequency The actual equivalent output exposure is then equal to an EMP of 16666650000 watts. Now there is an additional factor. Your nuclear EMP happened at 1 mhz, which is 500 times less able to get into your walkman than the 500 mhz from the television station is. To hit your walkman as hard as that television station will with a full second of exposure, your nuclear EMP is going to have to again be 500 times more than 16666650000 watts. AND THEN, you were 45 miles away from that five megaton blast, because you got in a hole and lived. How much greater a distance than 50 feet is 45 miles? how powerful would that nuclear EMP really have to be to wreck your electronics from THAT FAR AWAY? THAT is your answer.
There is a reason why nuclear EMP does not have a history of destroying electronics, even with well established post 2000 fully computer age nuclear detonations happening around the world multiple times. I can only guess that Nuclear EMP is a CIA creation, hatched to scare the public and make the public believe a future event was caused by EMP when in fact the government merely shut everything off in a final grab for power over the people. The CIA would have been able to look forward and see the day that would be possible.
As for whether or not a properly detonated nuke would take out satellites is beyond my math, because there is no way to know what will happen in space until something like that is actually done. There is no doubt that enough of a disturbance would happen to knock out communications for a while, but my guess is that if the satellites were permitted to, they would automatically resume after a couple hours. // http://jimstonefreelance.com/index.html

Ukraine: A Deep State Analysis

Ukraine: A Deep State Analysis
Some preliminary thoughts on a complex situation.
It doesn't take any special insight into the situation in Ukraine to conclude that no one narrative illuminates all the dynamics. Various contesting Grand Narratives have emerged in the media--neofascist coup, rampant corruption, east versus west, to name a few--but these only describe a few of the regional fault lines and complexities.
At my request, correspondent A.C. offered a preliminary Deep State analysis of the situation. A.C.'s perspective is informed by decades of experience in Eastern Europe, Russia and the Baltic region.
I recently discussed the Deep State in The Dollar and the Deep State, and offered this definition by Mike Lofgren:
The term “Deep State” was coined in Turkey and is said to be a system composed of high-level elements within the intelligence services, military, security, judiciary and organized crime.
The Deep State is a hybrid association of elements of government and parts of top-level finance and industry that is effectively able to govern the nation without reference to the consent of the governed as expressed through the formal political process.
I describe the U.S. Deep State as the National Security State which enables a vast Imperial structure that incorporates hard and soft power--military, diplomatic, intelligence, finance, commercial, energy, media, higher education--in a system of global domination and influence.
One key feature of the Deep State everywhere is that it makes decisions behind closed doors and the surface government simply ratifies and implements the decisions. I have covered various aspects of geopolitics and the Deep State for years, for example:
The Great Game: Geopolitics and Oil (October 19, 2010)
The Banality of Evil and Imperial Over-Reach (December 14, 2010)
Speaking of Iraq--let's start with the obvious Deep State agenda in Ukraine: energy. Nations with a strategic "vital interest" in the region's energy mix include Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Germany (and the rest of the Europen Union, which currently depends on natural gas piped through Ukraine from Russia), Romania and (of course) the United States, which maintains a strategic interest in every square meter of the planet (including the seas and ice caps).
It's not much of a stretch to say that Russia's fiscal health and geopolitical influence are based on hydrocarbons--specifically gas and oil delivered to other nations for cash and/or political favors.
The maturation of fracking technologies have led to the exploration of western Ukraine, Poland and Romania by super-major oil companies such as Chevron: Where We Operate - Chevron

Chevron holds four shale concessions in Poland—Frampol, Grabowiec, Krasnik and Zwierzyniec—which total approximately one million acres. In the Grabowiec concession, drilling of the first well was completed in March 2012, followed by a diagnostic fracture integrity test in December 2012. A first well also was drilled in the Frampol concession in 2012. In the Zwierzyniec concession, drilling began in December 2012. Continued exploration drilling is planned for 2013.

Chevron holds more than 2 million acres in Romania, including a 1.6-million-acre concession in the Barlad Shale. We plan to drill an exploration well in 2013. We hold three additional concession agreements covering 670,000 acres in southeast Romania. Acquisition of 2-D seismic data across these concessions is expected to begin in 2013.

Chevron successfully bid for the right to exclusively negotiate with the government of Ukraine for the Oleska Block. The company is expected to operate and hold a 50 percent interest in the 1.6 million-acre concession.

Ukraine holds promise for shale gas despite uncertainty
The development of gas fields in these regions poses a direct competitive threat to the near-monopoly currently held by the Russian national oil company, Gazprom. This sets up a scramble for energy, where western Ukraine, Poland, Romania and the EU have powerful financial incentives to develop energy sources outside of Russian control, while Russia has an incentive to secure energy resources and assets in Eastern Ukraine and Crimea.
Here is A.C.'s outline of some of the key dynamics:

This gas pipeline map graphically illustrates Gazprom's real problem. A major competing gas field is appearing literally underneath a major existing east-west gas pipeline running into central Europe. Drill wells and immediately begin selling to Germany and other existing Gazprom customers. And also undercut Gazprom's pricing by a touch.

The extent to which US-based multinational oil and gas firms are directly displacing Russian enterprises in supplying the EU is remarkable. Chevron and Exxon are very prominent in the emerging offshore and shale plays.

I think the imminent threat of Ukrainian shale gas development is a factor in forcing Putin's hand over the EU trade deal. Putin's regional Great Power ambitions are backed entirely by strong arm hydrocarbon diplomacy. Putin's domestic political position equally rests on stable and elevated hydrocarbon prices to fund the state budget.

He has no revolutionary ideology with mass appeal in religion, politics or economics. Nor does he possess a large internationally recognized sphere of dominance like Stalin obtained at Yalta in 1945.

Nor does he have a large land army with which to intimidate and subdue neighboring states. He's only managed to convert a portion of the shrunken Army to "kontraktniki" (well-paid professional volunteers). These guys are the ones suppressing the Muslim insurgents in the Caucasus. If Putin attempted to openly intervene in the Ukraine with the available and virtually untrained conscript military forces it would produce a political explosion in Russia's own internal politics. This is addition to the surge of Ukrainian nationalist opposition that would ensue.

Putin's risk arises not just from the example being set for Russian domestic opponents. If Putin is seen to be responsible for alienating and finally "losing" the Ukraine he'll find himself in trouble with the Russian Deep State.

What's Happening in Kiev Right Now Is Vladimir Putin's Worst Nightmare (New Republic)

Will Ukraine Break Apart (New Yorker)

As this piece notes, modern Ukraine in its present form is an artifact of the 1945 Yalta Conference and the post World War II order. Just like Yugoslavia. Unfortunately for all concerned, this latent instability is now compounded by a happenstance of geology and the recent maturation of the technology for exploiting shale gas reserves. Adjoining neighbors like Poland now have motives that were missing when the Ukraine was a poor and primarily agrarian land.

The gas pipeline map shows the major incentives and rational objectives of a partition strategy from Putin's perspective. He can't stop development in Polish Lublin or near Lviv. He at least needs to keep control of infrastructure in the eastern Ukraine. Offshore Black Sea oil and gas tract concessions are also at stake.

This suggests that the interests of all parties align in supporting a de facto partition rather than a civil war in Ukraine in which neither side could establish stable, long-term control of the other.
I asked A.C. for his view of the U.S. Deep State's goals in the region.

The short two-part answer is:

1. Frustrate Moscow's ambitions to dominate Eurasia. The operative strategic analyses employed are MacKinder's World-Island Theory as subsequently and heavily modified by modern hydro-carbon fuel economics: The Geographical Pivot of History.

2. Continue to improve the EU's Central European position with respect to its hydrocarbon fuel supplies. The Neocons were already deeply worried about the growth of NATO dependence on Gazprom and the eastern pipelines in the mid-1980s. This has been on their radar for decades.

The overall objective is to destroy Putin's capacity to set marginal natural gas prices in Europe. If pipelines under the Baltic and Black Seas are feasible so are pipelines under the Mediterranean Sea from North Africa to France, and from the eastern Mediterranean and Aegean to Greece and southeastern Europe. Add some LPG terminals and European shale gas operations and this is achieved.

There may be a third goal in trying to set an example for domestic Russian opponents, which exist in great numbers. I think it's more likely the Russian Federation's Deep State will find another leader first.

Thank you, A.C., for your perspective on this complex, fast-evolving situation. Sometimes strategic goals can be met not by establishing overt control (i.e. becoming a target) but by indirectly thwarting the goals of competing Deep States.
