The hypocrisy of this teetering empire is breathtaking to behold. We instigate the overthrow of a democratically elected government in the Ukraine because they were leaning toward Russia. We declare Putin to be a new Hitler for taking actions to protect Russian interests and Russian speaking people in the Eastern Ukraine. When the voting booth is used to decide which country the people prefer to align themselves with, we declare the results illegal. Our track record of spreading American style democracy is flawless: Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, and Syria. I bet Iran can’t wait until we democratize them. Our military empire is running out of money. The world knows our game. They aren’t buying it anymore. We spy on our supposed allies and sow discontent with the CIA and paid mercenaries. History will not be kind to America in its death throes.
I bet the Ukrainians can’t wait until their New American style democracy is as successful as it has been in Iraq. A series of bombings took place in various parts in Baghdad on Tuesday killing at least 25 people and wounding dozens more.
Hey Admin.
NOT to be a whiny pussy pain-in-the-ass …. really …. BUT, is there any way to get COLOR tied in to the voting? (The “pink posts” help me to quickly locate bb and Nonanoymous posts. lol)
It would be nice … but, no big deal if it can’t be done.
Stuck
That plug-in doesn’t have a color function. You can’t have it all.
Reading “The Saker” and some other “insider” blogs, I am led to believe that Ukraine will erupt into full scale Civil War around mid-summer.
I swear, I thought it was a Saturday Night Live skit. The woman looked just like an SNL actress, ready to throw out some ridiculous bullshit for laughs. And, it was just that. Only not intended to be.
It’s a sad state of affairs when the real State Dept personnel look like an SNL skit, and The Onion, news satire, provides more honest reporting than the “news.”
It’s an upside down world we live in.
How about the USA address it’s own fucking fraud first? A PARTIAL list ………
FLORIDA — ‘Let us vote!’ The state Democratic Party filed a lawsuit to extend voting in four counties …… allowing thousands more to vote ….. and, win.
OHIO — Scores of ministers urged their flocks to join them after services to vote ….. for the black guy.
FLORIDA, MISSOURI, OHIO, VIRGINIA — Leading civil right groups (Neegrows) are at polling stations “encouraging” people to vote a certain way
PENNSYLVANIA – Given two extra days to request an absentee ballot …. in Philadelphia County alone resulting in 28,000 new registrations.
NORTH CAROLINA — Bogus callers tell people they can vote by phone.
VIRGINIA — Three members of Congress have asked for a federal probe into massive vote fraud allegations.
ILLINOIS — where dead people vote by the thousands
.
Really, Jen Psaki (State Department spokescunt), why don’t you just go fuck yourself?
The sad commentary here is when the war starts it will be American youth that will die, not those that want this war.

That’s an awesome letter (link) you provided. It deserves to be copied and pasted here … hope you don’t mind.
———————————————————————————————— –
My Open Letter to Obama.
I nearly died in a war that you and most of your colleagues supported overwhelmingly, including the two presidents who came before you. Many citizens may not agree with waging war in Iraq to free the oppressed Iraqi citizens, but it’s something that warriors like myself have zero control over. I joined to serve my country and to better my life. I’ve seen things that you could never imagine, and they have made me the person I am today.
Mr. Obama, even though we share extreme opposite views, we have one thing in common, we both attended school in Hawaii. However, that’s where the similarities end. You see, as you attended your exclusive, private school, I would ride my bike to Kaimuki High school in one of the roughest areas in Hawaii every morning and would ride past Punahou, the exclusive private school you attended. I would notice the Bentleys, Maserati’s, and fancy foreign cars that all the kids were dropped off in; wow it must have been extremely rough in Hawaii living that life, right? I could only imagine what it was like to have that kind of money. Fortunately for you, not many people are aware of the school and the upper class citizens who attended it. The tuition to attend your exclusive, private school was more than it cost me to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the University of Arizona. You talk a big game when it comes to financial inequality, yet I’m quite sure you have no idea what it’s truly like to have sacrifice. You were one of the elitist children in Hawaii.
After High School, we each chose very different paths. You were able to attend Ivy League schools, and I sought out a military career to in hopes of earning a degree. What we have in life as children usually sets the tone for what we will face later in life that will make us successful. I worked to get where I am today, and YOU WERE HANDED IT….Mr. Inequality.
I volunteered to go to Iraq on both of my deployments, and the second time I begged to go even after I wasn’t selected, which ultimately got me placed on the team where I would lose both legs and my dominant arm. I’ve never asked myself was losing 3 limbs in a war worth it, even though many Americans were against it.
I am frequently reminded of the many young Iraqi children who would beg me for water, food, and toys while I was stationed in Iraq. Children, who in all aspects made the poorest of poor American children look rich. You have no idea what it really means to be poor. It’s laughable that you, who would have no idea what it means to be poor would so frequently play the inequality card.
While I was in Iraq, our mission was to liberate the Iraqi citizens from a tyrant and that’s what we did. Never forget, it was your people who sent us there, like the Clintons, John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi & Carl Levin. However, since the day you busted onto the scene you’ve been talking about ending the war and pulling the troops out, not understanding the blood sweat and tears that so many Americans and Iraqi’sinvested. And with complete disregard for every life sacrificed, every limb lost, and every broken family, you bailed on our mission to pursue an agenda that was completely centered on your re-election in 2012. If you didn’t bail on Iraq you were worried that you may not get re-elected and that’s a fact. Just before elections on Oct 11, 2012 you said “Al Qaeda is on the run and Osama bin Laden is dead.” Look at Iraq now, they are in shambles and the Al Qaeda flag is flying freely. Clearly, you’re unfit for duty as a Commander in Chief. You put your own agenda ahead of America’s agenda, and now you have single handedly ruined and destroyed nearly everything we gained in Iraq. It clearly means nothing to you, because the only thing that you’ve personally invested in that country was a promise to bail on them. However, people like me gave limbs, friends have died, and we’ve watched families destroyed by war’s aftermath.
I’m not placing blame on you for the war, I’m placing blame on you for destroying what we’ve worked so hard to build. You’re not a leader, you’re a community organizer. A leader would have stood up regardless of the situation and put America’s agenda first and that is ensuring a secure Iraq even after 10 years of war. But, you placed Barack first, just as Robert Gates confirmed in his new book. I can’thelp but think of those poor kids who I gave water and toys to 11 years ago. They’re probably 15 or 16 years old now, and I can only imagine what it’s like for them to have their nation being torn apart yet again; all because of your poor leadership qualities. Regardless of why we went to Iraq, its water under the bridge. We went there, we waged war, and we not only owed it to our KIA’s but we owed it to the citizens of Iraq. We invaded their country and turned it upside down, and you bailed on them. You bailed on our soldiers and you’ve wasted every death and every limb, it’s all for nothing. And to make matters worse you blame others for your failures.
You’re just another elitist rich thug who’s pretended to live the rough life growing up in the inner-city. You’re only worried about your own agenda and furthering your party instead of taking care of Americans. Your inability to be a leader at some of the most critical points has caused both of our wars to fail. You’ve been a joke to most of our veteran community and we have no faith in your ability to lead.

Russia wins oil rich territory as big as Switzerland without any violence as it is handed ‘Ali Baba’s cave’ of natural resources in Arctic
—– Russia was given 20,000 sq mile area in Sea of Okhotsk on March 15
—– Agreed by UN treaty body Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf
—– Experts believe land grab is dress rehearsal for acquisition of North Pole
—– It comes amid growing competition in the largely untapped oil-rich region
Two weeks ago, president Vladimir Putin announced the creation of a ‘united system of naval bases for ships and next-generation submarines in the Arctic’ to defend Russia’s interests there
A Russian arctika class nuclear powered icebreaker smashes its way through ice near the North Pole. Russia is employing every weapon in its arsenal to ensure its stake in the region, militarily, legally and economically
Meanwhile, Amerika fracks.

“The Farce Is Complete: Joe Biden’s Son Joins Board Of Largest Ukraine Gas Producer”

Fuck this place. Let’s all move to Russia.
Iraq was in better shape when Saddam was in office, that war was a waste, & being there are war crimes as no declaration of war was made.
Had the Bush admin. not made the stupid decision to invade, the vet would have his limbs. Also, it is the military’s oath to defend what the Constitution says, so obeying the commander & thief in his instance was committing a crime.
While I feel for his loss, the logic is BS. It is statist thinking & we are not to disagree or question, similar to the criticizing Obama BS. Statists & fascists like to wrap their garbage in the flag or trot out a disabled vet similarly to racists & other apologists.

While this is true, W didn’t wage war on Iraq because Saddam threatened his daddy. Saddam’s ass was grass when he fired scuds at Israel during the first Gulf War. Having said that, the war on Iraq wasn’t so much to remove Saddam as it was to just fucking destroy that country so that it can’t threaten Israel for another century and the same thing goes with Syria. Viewed from that perspective, the Iraq was was an overwhelming success. We destroyed (almost) an entire country way to go ‘Merica, Land of the free and home of the brave!!
I posted this very idea yesterday – that people have the right to choose. And looks like they have chosen.
Admin steals my idea and forgets to give credit. Go figure. Prolly takes candy from babies, too.
The USSA and Obama’s actions are despicable. And they’re willing to start WW3 to retain the dollar and petrodollar status, despite the facts that the criminals in Washington and the Fed are wiping out the dollar and our economy so billionaires can get richer.
Many writers and pundits are saying Russia doesn’t want Ukraine. They are bankrupt, tens of billions in debt, and have no resources beside crops and the Black sea ports. If Russia did take over, they’d have bail them out and support them.
Obama, ketchup boy Kerry, Shrillery, and the imbeciles in the CIA and Washington are unbelievable.
Imagine a situation: Texas wanted to join Russia, or be independent. So Russia uses the KGB to overthrow the government, and sets up a puppet government of neo-Nazis. Then Russia loans Texas billions more. Then Russia imposes sanctions on the Feds and Obama. Then Russia sends KGB agents to assist Texas in their fight against the Feds. Then Russia sends mercs to Texas, and arms, and forces Texans to attack the Feds. It’s exactly the same situation as in Ukraine. Putin deserves a medal for not taking the bait. In the meantime, we inch ever closer to WW3, and none of our leaders do anything or say anything. We’re not a democracy, and we don’t allow democracy in other nations. We impose our will on them, and then attack if they don’t comply (at home and abroad).
And Russia strikes back:
Russia Holds “De-Dollarization Meeting”: China, Iran Willing To Drop USD From Bilateral Trade
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 05/13/2014
Russia Ministry of Finance is ready to greenlight a plan to radically increase the role of the Russian ruble in export operations while reducing the share of dollar-denominated transactions. Governmental sources believe that the Russian banking sector is “ready to handle the increased number of ruble-denominated transactions”. According to the Prime news agency, on April 24th the government organized a special meeting dedicated to finding a solution for getting rid of the US dollar in Russian export operations. Top level experts from the energy sector, banks and governmental agencies were summoned and a number of measures were proposed as a response for American sanctions against Russia.
U.S. “foreign policy” is a farce. We have no business meddling in the internal affairs of any of these countries, and the campaign we’re waging in Syria and the Ukraine is treasonous.
AWD: “And they’re willing to start WW3 to retain the dollar and petrodollar status, despite the facts that the criminals in Washington and the Fed are wiping out the dollar and our economy so billionaires can get richer.”
It is ALL about that and showing up, so the shepple countries can follow until they are completly destroyed
