    Breaking: Russia has swallowed up Crimea...

    BREAKING: Putin Signs Treaty Annexing Crimea To Russia


    Video at the Page Link:

    N is reporting that Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a treaty “officially” annexing the Crimean region of Ukraine to the Russian Federation.
    The controversial “treaty” comes just two days after a referendum in which Crimeans voted overwhelmingly (95%) to join Russia. Both the United States and the European Union have said that the referendum and Russia’s annexation of the region are violations of both Ukraine’s constitution and international law.
    On Monday, Barack Obama issued limited sanctions against Russia and once again warned Putin not to escalate the crisis. Crisis escalated. Now what, Mr. President?

    Independent Crimea lasted less than 24 hours:

    RUSSIA’S HIGH-SPEED ANNEXATION OF CRIMEA




    By:

    3/18/2014 08:11 AM

    Russia’s annexation of Crimea happened fast. The dodgy Crimean independence referendum, denounced as illegal by the “international community, took place over the weekend. On Monday, Russian president Vladimir Putin thumbed his nose at the aforementioned “international community,” said it was too a legal referendum, laughed at the notion of sanctions, and signed a decree recognizing Crimean independence… which lasted less than 24 hours, as Tuesday morning saw Crimean leaderssigning a treaty to make it part of Russia.
    And to think there were international observers speculating that annexation might take weeks or months! Try hours, ladies and gentlemen. And then take two of those hours back, because the Crimeans announced they would be resetting their clocks to Moscow time on March 30, which will put them two hours ahead of Ukraine time.

    European and American sanctions – leveled against just 21 and 7 individual Russian officials, respectively – did nothing to slow Putin down. He’s still marching troops around on the Ukrainian border and playing footsie with Russian separatists in other parts of Ukraine. For whatever it’s worth, he gave a TV address to the Russian people on Tuesday in which he said “we don’t want division of Ukraine,” insisting that grabbing Crimea didn’t count, because “in our hearts we know Crimea has always been an inalienable part of Russia.”
    He even threw in a dig about how he expected Germany to support “reunification” between Russia and Crimea, the same way his country supported German reunification in the Nineties. Since that hasn’t been the German attitude thus far – Chancellor Angela Merkel has been describing the Crimean situation as a crime Russia “will not get away with” – Putin sniffed that the West has “crossed a line” and behaved in an “unprofessional” manner.
    Putin referred to the new Ukrainian government as “neo-Nazis, Russophobes, and anti-Semites” in his speech on Tuesday, to thunderous applause. That doesn’t bode well for harmonious co-existence. The Ukrainians have requested military assistance from the United States to checkmate Russia before it gobbles up more of the country, but thus far the strongest American response has been to reaffirm NATO ties to nervous Eastern partners like Poland. In fact, Vice President Joe Biden is in Warsaw today, offering reassurances that NATO will honor its commitment to defend them.
    But then again, papers were signed in the Clinton era obliging the United States, United Kingdom, and Russian Federation to respect the independence, sovereignty, and borders of Ukraine, as part of the process that led to Ukraine surrendering the nuclear weapons that would have kept Putin at bay. That agreement doesn’t seem to be counting for much, but it was written on much thinner paper than the NATO charter. A vigorous argument is currently under way as to whether the 1994 Budapest Memorandum would require the US and UK to offer a military defense of Ukraine. Spoiler: it won’t.
    One other little comment of Putin’s that has everyone on edge was his insistence, as transcribed by Reuters, that “Russia has the right to defend, by military force if necessary, Russian citizens and Russian speakers living in former Soviet republics, raising concerns that Moscow may intervene elsewhere.” It doesn’t seem like it would be very difficult to arrange the sort of incident that would justify such intervention. The Ukrainians are already accusing Moscow of making such arrangements within, and beyond, Crimea. In fact, just this morning Putin referred to Kiev as “the mother of all Russian cities,” and said it was important to protect ethnic Russians living there.
    Announcing his sanctions against seven Russians on Monday, President Obama warned, “We’ll continue to make clear to Russia that further provocations will achieve nothing except to further isolate Russia and diminish its place in the world.” It should be interesting to hear him make that clear today. As of 9:00 AM Eastern time, the White House still had not responded to Russia’s lightning-fast annexation of Crimea.

    BREAKING NEWS: Ukrainian Government Denounces Putin As A Fascist And Robber ROLLING UPDATES: Ukrainian Military Base Under Attack, Soldier Killed, Conflict Entering ‘Military Stage’, Geopolitical Expert Says Putin May Not See A Peaceful Way Out

    March 18, 2014 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.



    Credit For Original Photos: UPI

    The government of Ukraine balked at Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement Tuesday that “Crimea has always been an inalienable part of Russia.” Earlier in the day, Putin signed a treaty annexing Crimea as part of the Russian Federation.

    Speaking at a joint press conference, acting Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov and Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk denounced Russia’s claim of Crimea. Turchynov said that Putin is “mimicking the fascists of the last century,” while Yatsenyuk described Russia’s annexation of Crimea as “a robbery on an international scale.”
    Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Yevhen Perebyinis said Tuesday, “We do not recognize and will never recognize either Crimea’s so-called independence or the so-called agreement on its accession to the Russian Federation.”

    Putin’s assertion that Crimea was being incorporated into Russia rattled Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry. “What shocked the whole world was the real revival of Russian imperialism,” Perebyinis said, “for which nothing is sacred: neither international recognition of the borders of sovereign countries, nor rights or freedoms of the citizens, nor international obligations.”

    Ukraine, Perebyinis urged, needs international support. “We’re appealing to all responsible states and international organizations, insisting that they take effective measures against [Russia] aggression.”

    Putin shrugs. Via Fox News:

    A defiant Russian President Vladimir Putin answered President Obama’s announced sanctions against a handful of officials in Putin’s inner circle — but not Putin, himself — by signing a treaty Tuesday making Crimea a part of Russia.

    The signing follows a referendum on Sunday in which residents of Ukraine’s southern region overwhelmingly backed the move. The treaty still must be approved by Russia’s Constitutional Court and ratified by both houses of parliament. Those steps are considered mere formalities.

    Putin signed the treaty with Crimea’s prime minister and parliament speaker following a televised address to the nation, in which he vigorously defended Crimea’s vote as a restoration of historical justice.

    Putin has accused the West of encouraging unrest in Ukraine in order to break its historic ties with Russia, and dismissed Western criticism of the Crimean vote as illegitimate. More…
    Eurasia Group geopolitical expert Ian Bremmer, who previously said that Russia would take Crimea, suspects that Russia will use military force to exert its will over the whole of Ukraine, despite the West’s best efforts to intervene.

    His thoughts, via Business Insider:
    Putin doesn’t accept the abrogation of the European-brokered Yanukovych/opposition deal and accordingly views the Ukrainian government as illegitimate. This shouldn’t surprise the West (particularly given the importance of Ukraine to the Russian president), but the U.S. has refused to address [this issue].
    Now the Russians have responded with a sham referendum on Crimean independence, which Putin has promptly recognized. Warnings and redlines from the West — or at least, those that were remotely credible — were never going to have an impact on the Russians here; the importance of the interests are too asymmetrical.

    Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to create a new status quo at Crimea. Putin’s speech today made very clear that the Russians aren’t prepared to accept the present Ukrainian government going forward, Crimea or no Crimea.

    Which implies — at the very least — strong political and economic pressure, while the West and Russia exchange tit-for-tat sanctions. But there’s also a very real possibility that Putin doesn’t see a peaceful way to bring Ukraine back into the Russian fold, and so finds pretenses of mistreatment of ethnic Russians to justify a direct military intervention.

    At that point, Iran-type sanctions come into play from the U.S. Whether or not the Europeans would follow (the Chinese won’t) is an open question. But this is becoming an extremely costly, and geopolitically dangerous, conflict. And as with the sparring over Syria, the biggest losers are ultimately the Ukrainians. Read More…
    Following talks with Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves in Warsaw, Vice President Joe Biden told reporters:

    Mad Chess, False Flags and the Point of No Return

    Just Zen
    Mar 17, 2014 2 201



    by Zen Gardner

    We’re over the top and coming down the other side of a very slippery slope to an apparent trough now. Too much has been set in motion to stop this juggernaut of insanity being perpetrated on humanity. This isn’t to say we slow down our efforts to expose these psychopaths and their wicked intentions. Every awakened soul will be more ready hands for affirming the real world this truly is and will soon be manifesting. It’s just that the momentum is way too strong to turn this thing around before something very tragic happens.

    Not only is the police state ravaging lives and personal liberties, the war machine appears to be on auto pilot towards certain disaster.

    I’m convinced the Controllers run on a set agenda. It can be tweaked as there are certainly adjustments that have to be made to their plans along the way, but the detonation devices are in place, much like the symbolic controlled demolition of the World Trade Center. What concerns me most is how ripe the current situation is for another major false flag. As the political-corporate-military machine continues to be exposed, they’re going to need a major distraction to re-galvanize the unwitting public for the next phase of their world takeover.

    That or an outright major, but strategically limited, pre-calculated war.

    Nutsville Inc.

    Check this recent Orwellian militaristic maneuver:

    Raw Video- Connecticut SWAT team terrorize college dorm looking for plastic sword



    The daily headlines are almost beyond belief. From SWAT teams invading innocent civilians or trashing licensed and legally protected gun manufacturers, to the elderly and disabled being shot with complete impunity, the news is ugly. Never mind the brash lying and cover up by arrogant leaders and the complicit media, or the scientific and medical insanity of geoengineering, GMOs, vaccines and pharmaceuticals, nuclear madness and the wanton destruction of our environment.

    All the while the oligarchs push towards a global confrontation, instigating staged revolutions almost wherever they please, now even drunkenly taunting Russia and China to enter the fray.

    The overall world situation reminds me of the Cuban missile crisis when I was a child. Besides the nuclear attack drills when we hid under our desks, we didn’t know from one day to the next whether a nuclear conflagration would not only drastically change our lives, but end them all together. Or so we were told. We would joke as school let out each day, “See you tomorrow – maybe.” Surreal, but great programming for the future we’re experiencing now.

    Incredibly the world has plunged headlong into an accelerating overdrive of madness ever since, literally mining our planet and society with detonating devices in every way they can imagine.

    If they want there to be something of a world left to corral and dominate there must be some plan for a controlled release, which again begs for more carefully planned and measured false flag operations. The pathetic reality is that they have so many options to choose from. And most people have absolutely no idea what they are engineering.

    All the while the world economy teeters on the brink of a deliberate complete collapse.

    Nice job, boys. You’ll meet your demise soon enough.



    Forecast Revealed: Zbigpunk Brzezinski and His Murderous Chessboard

    “Moreover, as America becomes an increasingly multi-cultural society, it may find it more difficult to fashion a consensus on foreign policy issues, except in the circumstance of a truly massive and widely perceived direct external threat.” – Zbigniew Brzezinski
    We know they’ve forecast most of what we’re now witnessing for years. 9/11 was spelled out in giant red letters by both Brzezinski and the Neocon PNAC report, in almost identical words.

    Brzezinski went into much more detail in his instructional 1997 book “The Grand Chessboard”. Here’s a taste of this Machiavellian megalomaniac’s writing:
    THE GRAND CHESSBOARD — American Primacy And It’s Geostrategic Imperatives,” Zbigniew Brzezinski, Basic Books, 1997.
    These are the very first words in the book, “Ever since the continents started interacting politically, some five hundred years ago, Eurasia has been the center of world power.” — p. xiii. Eurasia is all of the territory east of Germany and Poland, stretching all the way through Russia and China to the Pacific Ocean. It includes the Middle East and most of the Indian subcontinent. The key to controlling Eurasia, says Brzezinski, is controlling the Central Asian Republics. And the key to controlling the Central Asian republics is Uzbekistan. Thus, it comes as no surprise that Uzbekistan was forcefully mentioned by President George W. Bush in his address to a joint session of Congress just days after the attacks of September 11 as the very first place that the U.S. military would be deployed.

    Major deployments of U.S. and British forces had taken place before the attacks. And the U.S. Army and the CIA had been active in Uzbekistan for several years. There is now evidence that what the world is witnessing is a cold and calculated war plan — at least four years in the making — and that, from reading Brzezinski’s own words about Pearl Harbor, the World Trade Center attacks were just the trigger needed to set the final conquest in motion.

    …”Hence, support for the new post-Soviet states — for geopolitical pluralism in the space of the former Soviet empire — has to be an integral part of a policy designed to induce Russia to exercise unambiguously its European option. Among these states. Three are geopolitically especially important: Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Ukraine.” (p. 121) “Uzbekistan, nationally the most vital and the most populous of the central Asian states, represents the major obstacle to any renewed Russian control over the region. Its independence is critical to the survival of the other Central Asian states, and it is the least vulnerable to Russian pressures.” (p. 121)
    …Brzezinski writes: “Moreover, they [the Central Asian Republics] are of importance from the standpoint of security and historical ambitions to at least three of their most immediate and more powerful neighbors, namely Russia, Turkey and Iran, with China also signaling an increasing political interest in the region. But the Eurasian Balkans are infinitely more important as a potential economic prize: an enormous concentration of natural gas and oil reserves is located in the region, in addition to important minerals, including gold.” (p.124)

    More>
    Hence the many wars and staged uprisings in that region there and the blatant efforts to subvert Ukraine. The hegemonists are now at Russia’s doorstep and taunting them for a fight. And both Russia and China know it.

    The line is being drawn. The real question is, who’s pulling the strings, and what’s their aim? It’s pretty clear.

    Prepare, But Don’t Despair

    The wake up of humanity continues to escalate at a fabulous pace. I don’t mean to affirm the would-be controllers’ plan here in any way but we have to be realistic as well as do everything we can to further expose the Truth to as many as possible. It’s just that when you stand back and put the pieces together, the picture that forms is not a good one.

    Serious preparations should be in order for everyone. Know where you want to live and who lives around you. Avoid large metropolitan areas where the restrictions will be much tighter and the confusion heightened.

    Have food and water and items to barter in an emergency. That’s good advice at any time, but to not prepare is to literally bury your head in the sand and hope this all goes away.

    It won’t. We have to deal with that very potential reality. At the very least we’ll see more limited conflicts, and perhaps even some nukes to up the ante and create the atmosphere they want.

    It’s worked before. If their deliberately bred dread machination is realized, humanity will jump to attention. In the words of someone from one of the several filthiest families to ever to walk our planet;
    “We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.”
    - David Rockefeller
    Screw ‘em. We are sovereign and we are infinite consciousness, experiencing this current whacked out world scenario and here for a profound purpose. Peace and love will be restored. They already have been for anybody in tune.

    We just have a few more things to go through on the geopolitical scene.
    Until then, keep raising the vibrational level of the planet, it is having a profound effect!

    That’s our ultimate goal, as well as ongoing activism and preparation.
    Never forget that.

    Love, Zen

    U.S. Moves to Squash EU Resistance in Eastern Europe - Secession by Transnistria and Gagauzia threaten EU Borg Hive.





    U.S. Moves to Squash EU Resistance in Eastern Europe

    Secession by Transnistria and Gagauzia threaten EU Borg Hive


    Kurt Nimmo
    Infowars.com
    March 18, 2014

    Vice President Joe Biden set the stage for the next phase of the economic war on Russia Tuesday when he announced from Poland the U.S. will impose a new round of sanctions following a vote in Crimea over the weekend declaring secession from Ukraine.

    “It’s a simple fact that Russia’s political and economic isolation will only increase if it continues down this dark path,” Biden said.
    The Associated Press reports “that virtually the entire world rejects the referendum in Crimea” and the region is “on edge over Russia’s nascent aggression in Crimea,” an allusion to the claim Russia plans to grab other former satellite states. “Former Soviet states are among the most alarmed by the prospect that Moscow could be resuming its traditional imperial ambitions,” AP claims despite a formidable obstacle to this, namely the inclusion of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Poland in NATO.
    Biden’s visit and the hysterical warning by the establishment media of Russian annexing former republics serves as a cover for another agenda – preventing so-called “breakaway” regions in the neighborhood from joining Russia, either outright or as part of an economic association matching the one tendered by the European Union.

    Transnistria borders Ukraine to the east and Gagauzia to the south. Illustration: Magellan Geographix

    Politicians in Moldova’s Trans-Dniester region, the autonomous territory situated on the eastern Moldovan border with Ukraine, have appealed to the Russian parliament to draft a law allowing it to join Russia. Trans-Dniester, or Transnistria, held a referendum in 2006 similar to the one held in Crimea over the weekend. Its demand for independence, however, was rejected by Moldova and, as characterized by the BBC, the “international community,” code for the United Nations.

    The Transnistria parliament, according to spokesman Irina Kubanskikh, had “appealed to the Russian Federation leadership to examine the possibility of extending to Trans-Dniester the legislation, currently under discussion in the State Duma, on granting Russian citizenship and admitting new subjects into Russia.”

    Moldova is preparing to sign an association agreement with the European Union similar to the one rejected by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych prior to his ouster during the February coup. Instead, Yanukovych called for closer economic alignment with Russia.

    A second autonomous area bordering Ukraine, Gagauzia, is also demanding independent status. The small area on Moldova’s southern border held a referendum in February. More than 70% of eligible voters said they want integration with the CIS Customs Union, an economic alliance between the states of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia. 97.2 percent rejected closer EU integration and 98.9 percent supported Gagauzia’s right to declare independence if Moldova merges with neighboring Romania under a European Union integration plan.

    Authorities in Chişinau, however, state the referendum constitutes a “defiance of law” and engenders separatist tendencies in the autonomous region.

    On Monday, NATO put cooperation between itself and Moldova on the fast track. Moldova has also initialized an association agreement with the EU. According to NATO Deputy Secretary General Ambassador Alexander Vershbow, European integration goes hand-in-hand with closer relations with NATO as both organizations are based on the same values.

    Biden’s visit to Poland is intended to rally NATO countries in Eastern Europe as secessionist sentiment grows in eastern Ukraine and Transnistria and Gagauzia look toward Crimea for inspiration. The United States and the European Union are now desperately attempting to portray closer alignment with Moscow as brazen Russian annexation instead of what is really is – rejection of the European Union and, to a large part, ethnic identification with Russia.

    The U.S. and the EU, according to Forbes, require “Warsaw’s support for whatever sanctions they impose on Russia to deter further expansionist moves” as future and present clients struggle with indigenous independence movements. Thus Biden’s visit to Poland and Lithuania.

    The coup in Kyiv, with its fascist overtones and strident nationalism threatening ethnic minorities, sends an unmistakable message to “breakaway” regions – the EU and the United States will embrace and support xenophobia and fascist violence as it moves to force all of Europe into the Fourth Reich.

    Ron Paul: Crimea secedes. So what?


    Ron Paul 8:09 p.m. EDT March 17, 2014



    Former representative Ron Paul, R-Texas.(Photo: Brendan Smialowski, AFP/Getty Images)

    Residents of Crimea voted over the weekend on whether they would remain an autonomous region of Ukraine or join the Russian Federation. In so doing, they joined a number of countries and regions — including recently Scotland, Catalonia and Venice — that are seeking to secede from what they view as unresponsive or oppressive governments.
    These latter three are proceeding without much notice, while the overwhelming Crimea vote to secede from Ukraine has incensed U.S. and European Union officials, and has led NATO closer to conflict with Russia than since the height of the Cold War.
    OUR VIEW: Show Putin the high cost of conquest
    What's the big deal? Opponents of the Crimea vote like to point to the illegality of the referendum. But self-determination is a centerpiece of international law. Article I of the United Nations Charter points out clearly that the purpose of the U.N. is to "develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples."
    Why does the U.S. care which flag will be hoisted on a small piece of land thousands of miles away?
    Critics point to the Russian "occupation" of Crimea as evidence that no fair vote could have taken place. Where were these people when an election held in an Iraq occupied by U.S. troops was called a "triumph of democracy"?
    Perhaps the U.S. officials who supported the unconstitutional overthrow of Ukraine's government should refocus their energies on learning our own Constitution, which does not allow the U.S. government to overthrow governments overseas or send a billion dollars to bail out Ukraine and its international creditors.
    Though the Obama administration has applied some minimal sanctions on selected Russian and Crimean individuals, neither the U.S. nor the EU can afford significant sanctions against Russia. Global trade provides too much economic benefit to both sides.
    Indeed, international markets rallied on news that the sanctions would be thus far minimal. They understand that trade and economic engagement are the surest roads to peace and prosperity. Let's hope governments will follow their lead.

    Is Ukraine Crisis A Bankster Psy-Op?

    March 19, 2014 by Bob Livingston

    Following the referendum on independence for Crimea, Ukrainians rallied for peace outside the parliament building in Kiev.

    The goals of the ruling elite never change in thousands of years. They always despise the millions of people they rule over, and even those they don’t.
    Though they rule with outward pomp and circumstance, inwardly they are “raving wolves.” They have no empathy for human beings. They think nothing of killing 10 million people in phony wars under the pretense of patriotism.
    Our Brandon Smith did an excellent job in his column Ukraine Crisis: Just Another Globalist-Engineered Powder Keg, explaining how the globalists and banksters have been fomenting crisis in Ukraine for years and how they played both sides against the middle in other major conflicts. Further proof can be found in the result of the orchestrated “coup.”
    Elected Ukrainian pro-Russia President Viktor Yanukovych was ousted after he rejected the International Monetary Fund’s demands to raise taxes and devalue the currency. So the U.S. and the EU installed central banker and hand puppet Arseniy “Yats” Yatsenyuk. A Forbes article described Yats as “… the kind of technocrat you want if you want austerity, with the veneer of professionalism. He’s the type of guy who can hobnob with the European elite. A Mario Monti type: unelected and willing to do the IMFs bidding.”
    In the wee hours of the morning of March 2, the U.S. took possession of Ukraine’s $1.8 billion (estimated value) gold reserves. That’s partial payback for the $5 billion the U.S. invested in dragging Ukraine toward the EU. It’s also gold the U.S. can pass on to Germany, which has been seeking to have its gold — supposedly held by the Federal Reserve — returned.
    Recall that after the U.S. sacked Iraq to overthrow a dictator, free its people and find “weapons of mass destruction,” it confiscated that country’s gold reserves. The U.S. then abandoned Iraq and left it to fall apart into chaos and anarchy and terror bombings.
    It treated Libya even worse. In order to “help” the Libyan people, President Barack Obama used NATO to bomb whole cities. It sacked Libya’s gold reserves (150 tonnes, estimated) and disappeared, leaving the country ruled by gangs and al-Qaida-related terrorists.
    But Moammar Gadhafi had to be overthrown not because he was a dictator, but because he planned to quit selling oil in U.S. dollars.
    President Barack Obama responded to Russia’s support of Crimean secession with sanctions, seeking “to hold accountable individuals who use their resources or influence to support or act on behalf of senior Russian government officials.”
    Yet those sanctions, according to a report affect only those who are Russian President Vladimir Putin’s domestic rivals.
    It’s becoming increasingly obvious that the Ukraine situation is an orchestrated crisis. It’s directed history orchestrated by the globalists. Ukrainians will likely end up like Iraqis and Libyans, destitute and living in a lawless society.
    Putin and Obama are merely pieces on the globalist chessboard. Empires and wars throughout history have been built and fomented upon myths and deception.
