Well, we all knew that the last floor of the SBU (the Ukrainian terror police) building in Kiev was fully occupied by US CIA agents and that no Ukrainians access to it. But this is even better. Apparently, the US decided to fly its flag on the building’s main entrance, just next to the Ukrainian one. See for yourself:
There is also a video showing the same scene: http://youtu.be/UffhTyUcUwc
The SBU, by the way, is an amazing organization. In its entire 23 year long history it never caught a single foreign spy (except fake Russian ones, of course). The Russians even made a hilarious video about a SBU “capture” of a FSB agent:
(the video is in Ukrainian so please make sure to press the ‘cc’ button for English subtitles)
But, seriously now. Not a single American, or German or Brit. Not *one*. In comparison, just in one year (2011) the Russian FSB officially caught 41 foreign spies and 158 Russian citizens who spied for foreign intelligence agencies. Assuming that 2011 was a ‘normal’ year, that would be roughly the equivalent of catching 943 foreign spies and 3643 Russian traitors for a 23 year long period. The SBU caught *zero*. This is why I call it “terror police” and not “security agency”.
But they did kill *a lot* of people, including politicians, journalists and activists. They are also pros in various torture techniques.
And now the US flag flies over that building.
The entire US intelligence community can be very proud of this.

Everything to irritate, annoy and upstage russia. Childish. Children running with scissors.
Well, what is the surprise?
It is their embassy. A trade mark.
In the amerikan spirit and psyché, this is nowadays precisely what constitutes U.S. embassies.
No tables, negotiations, dinners or give & take discussions.
It ´s changed.An US embassy is made of weapons, bugs, watchdogs,
blood, threatens, villany, and advanced brutality tortures.
So nothing more natural than sticking the star spangled right in front of the building.
They may as well put up the flag in the new 52 nd state. (iSraeL being the first state.)
When Biden visits, he sits in the chairman’s spot. And That HRH Resolution made it openly official.

Ukraine Invites Russian “Military Specialists” In Donetsk To Promote “Conflict De-escalation”
The Russian press agency reports that “Representatives of the Russian armed forces led by Lt. Gen. Alexander Lentsov have been sent to the community of Debaltseve in the Donetsk region at Ukrainian armed forces chief of staff Col. Gen. Viktor Muzhenko’s request,” Gerasimov said at a meeting with military attaches of a number of foreign countries on Wednesday.
“This mission has been tasked, together with the OSCE, with helping the conflicting parties, which are the Ukrainian forces and the local militia, to find compromise solutions on de-escalating the tension and withdrawing the troops from the contact line,” he said.

On the topic of the recently cancelled South
Stream:
European partners may join proposed Russian project to create gas route to EU via Turkey, gas hub at Turkey-Greece border, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev says in intw on Russian state TV.
2. A new Referendum in Dpnetsk?
As for the Donetsk region: next up, yet another referendum whether or not the region should join Russia, yet more monetary integration, until finally the Crimea scenario repeats itself and Russia is the proud owner of territory right above some of eastern Europe’s biggest shale deposits, oh and some of the best coal mines Europe has to offer.

As I said in another post,the confusion in Ukraine from lies and misinformation is thick enough to cut with a knife.I’m a 100% supporter of the anti-fascist position in Ukraine.Whether that means a totally freed Novorossiya or a autonomous Novorossiya in a Federal non-junta pro-Russian Ukraine.But as are many, I’m not sure Russia shares my concerns about Ukraine,and the defeat of fascism there.Until Russia purges her 5th column and makes a stand, I’ll continue to doubt.And I’m not the only one it appears.In a poll of Russian posters on Colonel Cassad it was asked if Russia was betraying Novorossiya or not.The results were 27.9% YES,39.5% NO,and 32.6% NOT SURE.That is probably the most telling information of people’s beliefs inside Russia I’ve seen.The combined Yes and Not Sure,rounded would be 60% and only 40% fully trusting they weren’t betraying the Russians in Ukraine.If they do betray those people,Putin may not need to worry about a “Liberal,5th column Maidan”.But instead a Nationalist,Russian World Maidan.The fallout from a fascist/NATO Ukraine being allowed to stand would be so great that the government would be shown unworthy to govern Russia and would need to go.And be replaced by one that would protect Russia and Russians.As well as clean out the 5th column finally.

Truth is a living thing! which also contains lies!..you choose.
Caveat Emptor!.
Please give me some perspective here. Is flying a foreign flag over one’s own intelligence agency common practice, or is it an internationally unprecedented incident? The CIA, for example, doesn’t fly the Israeli flag. At least, not outdoors.
It’s very timely, in view of the publication of the congressional report on torture. Having systematically ignored the subject for years, the mainstream media are now going to the opposite extreme and devoting pages to it. It’s hard to see how Obama can avoid either putting himself, Bush and the rest on trial – or utterly losing his last shreds of credibility.

New Russian-Turk pipeline looks like the Nabucco-West pipeline EU side. Can we call it a “win-win”?
Part one:
We are now seeing the drastic extent to which bankrupt governments feed on their hosts.
December 10, 2014
Santiago, Chile
As the holiday season approaches you might have mistletoe on your mind for cheery, romantic reasons.
What you might not have known however is that the festive flora and its relatives are all actually parasites.
Unable to photosynthesize to feed itself, mistletoe latches on to a host plant and steals away its nutrients and water.
From the mistletoe’s point of view this may seem like a great idea… for a while.
Depleted of nutrients, the host’s growth is stunted. Branches fall off. And eventually if the mistletoe grows large enough, the entire host plant just dies.
Thus, mistletoe can quite literally eat its own self out of house and home. This isn’t exactly a solid long-term strategy.
Given their behavior it seems that most governments belong to the same genus.
The public sector has no ability to support itself. In theory, they’re supposed to survive by taking a modest portion of people’s earnings through taxation, and then providing valuable services in exchange.
Nature calls this ‘symbiosis’. But life rarely follows theory.
In reality, bureaucrats and politicians who produce nothing of value parasitically choke off the productive class through onerous taxation and regulation.
This cannot last forever, because at some point they will have no hosts left to feed off of.
Ukraine is the perfect example of this right now.
In a leaked version of a new budget proposal (in Ukrainian), we are seeing the drastic extent to which bankrupt governments feed on their hosts.
The proposal includes measures to cut public education in Ukraine from 11 to 9 years. And more importantly, education will no longer be funded by the state.
There will be no more free food for children in school or for patients in hospitals, and healthcare will no longer be completely state-funded.
The government is also proposing to drastically reduce pension benefits.
Part two:
Women will have to work 10 more years in order to qualify for a pension, and men an additional 5.
They’re also proposing to FREEZE pension benefits, i.e. no longer adjusting them to the rampant inflation that’s unfolding in Ukraine.
They’d also like to do away with a number of other public services; they’ve proposed slashing the number of judges, prosecutors, and police.
They’ve even proposed reducing the number of members of parliament from 450 to 150.
Now, I happen to quite like the idea that a government is pulling itself out of the business of education, healthcare, security, etc.
But it begs the question—if the government is no longer going to provide these services… then why the hell should anyone have to pay tax?
Of course, taxes are still obligatory.
So on one hand the government is defaulting on all the obligations it has made to its citizens… essentially breaking the social contract.
Yet on the other hand they’re still going to throw people in jail for not paying taxes.
Just like mistletoe, this is a highly parasitic relationship. And it’s precisely what happens when a country goes bankrupt.
Ukraine is in this position for a number of reasons; certainly the war has been very costly and has wrecked havoc on the economy.
But Ukraine’s government has had a long history of pitifully bad decisions, corruption, and fiscal mismanagement. [stop me when this sounds familiar]
At this point they’ve managed to blow the vast majority of their foreign reserves (i.e. the country’s US dollar cash savings).
In fact, as of this morning, Ukraine’s total foreign reserves amount to just 0.34% of its enormous debt level.
This is barely enough to pay interest on the debt for the next six weeks! Astounding.
Oh… wait a minute. Hang on. I got my data wrong. I’m actually talking about the United States.
Fact is, Ukraine has $10 billion in foreign reserves on $70 billion in debt. That’s 14.2%.
The United States, on the other hand, has $61 billion in cash in its operating account [less than Apple], which equals 0.34% of its $18 TRILLION debt.
Nothing to worry about, though.
I’m sure that the rest of the world will continue to give the Land of the Free a pass.
It makes total sense that Ukraine is in the midst of an epic financial crisis, even though the US government is in far worse financial condition.
Because there are absolutely zero problems whatsoever with the US government being admittedly insolvent, highly illiquid, warmongering, and deceitful to even its own allies.
This is a consequence-free environment. Nothing to see here, people; you should have zero concerns about having 100% of your savings and assets tied to a bankrupt government that’s in worse shape than Ukraine’s. What could go wrong?
Hey look over there! It’s Kim Kardashian’s buttocks!

Anglos plot against Putin and Russia.
Quote
“Estulin noted a Bilderberg “campaign to delegitimize Putin,” financed by “some very angry and powerful Anglo-American elites.” Present at that 2012 conclave were top executives from Royal Dutch Shell (CEO Peter Voser and Chair Jorma Ollila) and BP (CEO Robert Dudley). [2] Also present was then-Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, now U.S. Secretary of State.
Interestingly, Daniel Estulin further reported that at the May 2012 Bilderberg meeting, “…one European Bilderberger openly admitted [that] ‘Putin is by far the most formidable opponent in the world stage to our plans.’ What makes [the] Bilderberg position that much more difficult is Putin’s moral position in ‘protecting and promoting its [Russia’s] national interest’.”
In other words, Putin had done nothing wrong, and the Bilderberg participants knew it. But he is in the way of “our plans,” whatever those may be.

“The magnitude of war crimes committed by the USA dwarves anything the world has ever seen.”
This is true.
But what’s even more disturbing is how America has not only been able to get away with its massive war crimes and but also been able to masquerade as a champion of Freedom and Democracy, despite it all!

Seems that way, but Catholics probably hold that record. And capitalism in general is a very incestuous close second, if not first. The Ami are doing their bit for the war crimes god, especially now that their wide bums are owned by Israel. They may out do the previous sods if we continue to let ’em.
But a question remains: why continue to let them? We all know who the criminals are, what they are doing and how they are doing it. Being a prison bitch is only the easy way out only for those who really like it that way.
вот так
The video seems to have been removed. Is there another one or did someone download it?
I’ve noticed in pictures from Ukraine where the American and Ukrainian flags are displayed together that the American flag is on the viewer’s left, as is shown on the picture of the SBU building. In America the left position is reserved for the US flag. In international settings this position would belong to the flag of the host country. Is flag protocol different in Ukraine or are we seeing an expression of American dominance in Ukraine?
Can’t believe no one has spotted this. This is so so so obviously a fake video.
The question is by whom????
Who this Ambramovich fellow – and why does he have as his passport photo a picture of JOSEPH STALIN!?!?!?!?
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/Stalin_1902.jpg
I mean seriously.
Can’t believe no one else spotted that yet.
So clearly a fake video – but by who?
It makes Ukrainians look like fools to claim Stalin (former de facto President of Ukraine & Russia) is still alive with such an obvious photo of Stalin (All Ukrainians & Russians would recognise that as a photo of Stalin immediately).
I can only conclude this video is actually Russian disinformation. Where did it come from? It must be some kind of joke they are playing on Ukrainian SBU to point out how poor they actually are at doing their job that the only Russian spy that could actually catch has been dead for 60 years!!! (And isn’t even Russian!!!) LOL. Quite funny, I’m sure the Russians found this video hilarious – and an accurate description of the Ukrainian SBU to boot!!!
Where did this video come from? If this is actually Ukrainian SBU – then they are actually the dumbest secret service on the planet. Seriously.
This video should perhaps be re-released as “Ukrainian SBU catch Russian/ Georgian spy Joseph Stalin 60 years after his DEATH. Amazing!!!”
re Crimea electricity-my understanding, from in-laws in Djankoi, that Crimea is on a big circuit/loop, so they can’t cut off Crimea without cutting off a lot of their own country too—-maybe someone can check out if any engineering works have gone on recently- but would be very ironic if supplies are cut.
KYIV (QHA) – Ukraine may turn of electricity supply to Crimea if consumption limits in the region are exceeded, Ukraine’s Minister of Energy and Coal Industry Yuriy Prodan announced At the same time, the minister said that Crimea now consumes power within the limits set.Prodan also noted that the schedule of power emergency shutdown is currently introduced throughout the entire mainland Ukraine.
Doesn’t the Head of the SBU keep his daughter in New York when she is not partying in London ?
I think that this image is ancient. from summer. I remember that in summer there was also a USA flag in SBU.
This image is from September, as in twitter date appears: https://twitter.com/Drazmihailovitx/status/514389326973919232
In other order of things, the current SBU head, Valentyn Nalyvaychenko, is the same as was in Yuschenko’s times, and was the forefather of converting SBU in a CIA termminal in Ukraine, and also involving SBU in historical-political debates as Holodomor. He was alsoa speaker in a Tryzub Stepan Bandera (part of Prevyi Sektor) meeetings.
Cheers.
If you see both flags you will realize both are FAKE as hell. It’s ridiculous, both flag masts are superimposed over different places in the building wall, and over the same wall you can see there is nothing to hold the masts. It’s like both falgs are floating in thin air.
