Just as the corporate media is not reporting that the USA and Russia are on a collision course which can end up in nuclear war, the corporate media is not reporting that the Ukraine is falling apart. That does not mean, however, that this is not happening. It is. In fact, it has been for a long while already, but since that collapse is smoothed out by a lack of military action and by the political support of the Empire, it does not appear to be catastrophic (in the sense of causing a sudden dramatic change). But the signs are all over the place, ranging from the outright bizarre attack by Ukronazi saboteurs on Crimea (which, besides the group which was caught also involved at least two other groups conducting a diversionary reconnaissance by fire against the northeast of the Peninsula) to the quasi daily reports of an “imminent”, but apparently never coming, Ukronazi attack against the Donbass. On the political front, the Ukrainian Jeanne d’Arc, Nadezhda Savchenko, is now accused of being a Putin agent because she advocates for negotiations with the DNR/LNR, while the regime in Kiev is trying to maintain its relevance to NATO hawks by offering to teach them “how to fight against the Russians”. The reality, of course, is that financial support from the Empire to the Ukraine has now almost completely dried up due to, among other things, the realization that the Ukies can steal almost all the money they get, and that nobody buys the “the Russkies are coming!” canard anymore. Frankly, the Ukronazi project has outlived its utility and nobody gives a damn what will happen to the Ukrainian people.

And that is a huge mistake.

Somalia on the EU

It is impossible to estimate how many people are still living in the Ukraine today, but most experts believe that the figure is somewhere between 35-40 million people. The vast majority of them are struggling to make a living and their future looks very, very bleak. Remember Dmitri Orlov’s five stages of collapse? They are:

Stage 1: Financial collapse. Faith in “business as usual” is lost.
Stage 2: Commercial collapse. Faith that “the market shall provide” is lost.
Stage 3: Political collapse. Faith that “the government will take care of you” is lost.
Stage 4: Social collapse. Faith that “your people will take care of you” is lost.
Stage 5: Cultural collapse. Faith in “the goodness of humanity” is lost.

‘We do not trade territories’: Putin on Kuril Islands compromise with Japan

Although signing a peace treaty with Japan remains a key issue, the territorial dispute over the Kuril Islands emerged as a result of WWII and is not subject to revisal, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, warning against opening “Pandora's box.”

“We do not trade territories,” Putin said in an interview with Bloomberg, when asked if he was ready to consider “giving up”one of the Kuril Islands in order to reach a political resolution and greater economic cooperation with Japan.

He added, however, that the “peace treaty with Japan of course is a key one, and we would very much like to find a solution to this problem with our Japanese friends.”

“We had a treaty signed in 1956 and surprisingly it was ratified both by the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and by the Japanese parliament. And then the Japanese side refused to implement it, and after that the Soviet Union also, so to say, nullified all agreements reached within the framework of the treaty.”

Refusing to draw parallels between Tokyo’s claims and the territorial dispute between Russia and China, Putin said the latter was resolved after 40 years of negotiations and was only due to a “high level of trust” between the states.

“If we reach the same level of trust with Japan, we might be able to reach certain compromises,” Putin said.

“However, there is a fundamental difference between the issue related to Japan’s history and our negotiations with China. The Japanese issue resulted from World War II and is stipulated in the international instruments on the outcomes of World War II, while our discussions on border issues with our Chinese counterparts have nothing to do with World War II or any other military conflicts.”

When a reporter, as he claimed, jokingly asked if Russia was ready to negotiate sovereignty of the Kaliningrad region, Putin warned against opening “Pandora's box.”

"If someone is willing to reconsider the results of World War II, let us discuss this. But then we will have to discuss not only Kaliningrad, but also the eastern lands of Germany, the city of Lvov, a former part of Poland, and so on, and so forth. There are also Hungary and Romania on the list,” the Russian president explained.

“If someone wants to open this Pandora's box and deal with it, all right, go for it then,” Putin said.

Lavrov: US biological research not entirely peaceful

The US may be conducting biological research that is “not entirely peaceful,” as Washington opposes the idea of tightening international control over biological weapons, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

America's staunch opposition to Russian efforts to create a monitoring mechanism for the execution of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) indicates that the US may be conducting militarized biological research, Lavrov said in his yearly address to future diplomats at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO).

Russia is developing a supervision mechanism for the observance of the BTWC, Lavrov said, stressing that most countries support this move while the US actively opposes it.

“It is known that the US has a number of projects in the field of biological research, particularly some joint research programs with our neighboring countries,” Lavrov said.

He added that the refusal of the US to create a monitoring mechanism for the execution of the BTWC indicates that “these projects are not entirely peaceful.” He also stressed that the US has shied away from discussing the issue.

Lavrov also said that Russia has developed principles for the creation of a convention on combating chemical and biological terrorism in cooperation with China, adding that this idea is widely supported.

US rejected Russian offer for cooperation on cyber-security

The US has shown no interest in cooperating with Russia on the issues of cyber-security, the foreign minister said as he delivered a speech to first-year MGIMO students on September 1.

He said that many Russian citizens accused of cyber-crimes by the US were detained in third countries and illegally transferred to America in the past. At the same time, Russia’s Prosecutor General’s Office still has not received any official answer from the US on its offer of cooperation, which it sent almost a year ago.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) refused to give Russia any official written answer while several department officials said they “see no sense in such cooperation,” Lavrov said.

Lavrov also said that he had repeatedly discussed the issue with US Secretary of State John Kerry, who called the DOJ’s position “wrong”and said he would try to change the situation.

No prerequisites for new Cold War

The Russian foreign minister said that he sees “no prerequisites” for a new Cold War and called such a development “unlikely.” He also said that the current situation in the international arena “significantly differs” from the one that existed during the Cold War.

“In contrast to that period, we do not have ideological differences,”Lavrov said, adding that Russia and the US now have common principles, which the two countries share as members of the UN and OSCE.

At the same time, he stressed that many modern problems arise from the fact that Western countries and particularly the US are still trying to maintain global dominance and impede the formation of a new polycentric international system based on “mutual concessions and respect as well as understanding.”

Some countries try to impose their will on other states and resolve international problems in a way that only fits their own interests, Lavrov said.

“In fact, they pretend to have a monopoly on the truth and use a number of illegitimate coercive measures and unethical means to influence their partners, [such as] rewriting history or aggressive propagandist media campaigns, unilateral sanctions or sponsoring coups as well as fueling regional conflicts and direct military intervention,” the foreign minister said, apparently referring to the current policy of the West towards Russia, Ukraine and the Middle East.

Gostaria de fazer uma actualização após a última informação que enviei.

Num escasso período de tempo, logo após a primeira actualização, aconteceu o suposto incidente de tentativa de assassinato da Chanceler alemã.

Avisei que as pessoas mais importantes do mundo se tinham revoltado contra a Chanceler alemã e depois, dentro de poucas horas após o nosso anúncio, fomos informados deste ataque à sua comitiva.

Compreendo que algumas pessoas pensem que a minha informação está incorrecta.

No entanto, quando escutarem a minha primeira actualização e, a seguir, observarem o momento do ataque à comitiva, irão perceber que a minha informação está correcta. 

Há um grupo de pessoas que desejam uma Terceira Guerra Mundial e Angela Merkel é comparada ao Arquiduque Francisco Fernando. O assassinato do Arquiduque foi a causa próxima da Primeira Guerra Mundial.

A Alemanha foi manipulada na Primeira e na Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Eles estão a tentar fazer o mesmo para iniciar uma Terceira Guerra Mundial.

Hoje (28:08:2016), os tanques americanos na Europa Central ocuparam as posições finais, que é uma postura ofensiva.

Na semana passada os americanos movimentaram os seus tanques, mas não foi relatado.

Presentemente, os tanques ocupam as posições geográficas finais.

O objectivo desta situação é provocar a Rússia [a curto prazo],através de um ataque militar.

Hoje a Finlândia divulgou os mesmos avisos aos seus cidadãos, tal como a República Checa e a Alemanha, ou seja, armazenar alimentos e água para um mínimo de 10 dias.

Não importa se toda esta operação é uma bandeira falsa ou uma verdadeira escalada para uma acção militar. O facto é que a elite deseja desorganizar o mundo através da Europa.

Com a situação financeira crítica que prevalece em todo o mundo, vê-se que a guerra é a única maneira de tornar a obter lucros.

Esta é a visão da família Rothschild.

O braço satânico dos Illuminati deseja a guerra pela guerra.

Notem, por favor : Se não entrarmos em pânico e não nos assustarmos,teremos uma oportunidade melhor para evitar uma nova catástrofe.

Nos próximos dias, verificar-se-á, se estes acontecimentos acalmam ou se a situação se agrava.

Quem já escutou as minhas declarações ao longo dos últimos dois anos sabe que vos aconselhei a armazenar comida e água para duas semanas.

Presentemente, os governos oficiais também estão a dizer para as populações armazenarem alimentos e água.

Eu e outras pessoas, temo-vos alertado para esta situação potencial. Por favor, mantenham a calma e sejam firmes. Não acreditem em tudo o que está a ser divulgado pela comunicação mediática.

 Envio, agora, uma mensagem destinada  a todos os membros do grupo "Connecting Consciousness".

Por favor, verifiquem se têm os endereços de email e os números de telefone dos vossos coordenadores e das redes de apoio local.

Por favor, façam os preparativos para vós e para as vossas famílias, de modo a estarem tão seguros quanto possam estar.

Obrigado. Darei mais informações logo que as obtenha.

[Foi-me pedido para dizer algo sobre este assunto aos membros americanos:]

Os membros norte-americanos não têm nenhuma informação destas notícias. As mesmas estão a ser retidas pela comunicação mediática norte-americana, portanto, este assunto será completamente novo para muitos de vós. Precisam procurar nos sites da comunicação mediática alternativa ou tentar obter notícias na Internet, sobre os países europeus.

O vosso governo não está a dizer a verdade. Está a escondê-la de vós.

Por favor, procurem notícias alternativas.

Obrigado. 

Armed man arrested after attempting to infiltrate Merkel motorcade in Prague

Deutsch -- Ich möchte euch ein Update unserer vergangenen Information geben.

Ich möchte euch ein Update unserer vergangenen Information geben.

Sehr kurze Zeit nach unserem ersten Update fand der angebliche Mordanschlag auf die deutsche Kanzlerin statt. Ich hatte gewarnt, dass die obersten Anführer der Welt sich gegen die deutsche Kanzlerin gewendet haben, und dann, innerhalb weniger Stunden nach unserer Ankündigung, hören wir von diesem Angriff auf ihre Wagenkolonne.

Mir ist klar, dass einige Leute meinen, meine Informationen seien falsch. Wer sich aber mein erstes Update und den Zeitpunkt des Angriffs auf die Kolonne ansieht, der wird feststellen, dass meine Informationen akkurat sind.

Es gibt eine Gruppe von Leuten, die einen Dritten Weltkrieg wünschen, und Angela Merkel sehen sie als ihren Erzherzog Ferdinand. Die Ermordung von Erzherzog Ferdinand führte zum Ersten Weltkrieg. Deutschland wurde in den Ersten wie auch in den Zweiten Weltkrieg hineinmanipuliert. Und nun wird genau dasselbe für den Dritten Weltkrieg versucht.

Heute wurden die amerikanischen Panzer in Mitteleuropa auf ihre letztendlichen Positionen gebracht – in einer Aufstellung für eine Offensive. Die Amerikaner haben ihre Panzer die letzte Woche über verlegt, doch darüber wurde nicht berichtet. Sie sind jetzt an ihren geographischen Zielen angekommen. Hierbei geht es ausschließlich darum, Russland zu [kurz unverständlich] einem militärischen Angriff zu provozieren.

Finnland hat heute dieselbe Warnung an seine Bürger herausgegeben wie Tschechien und Deutschland – nämlich Nahrung und Wasser für mindestens 10 Tage im Haus zu haben.

Es ist unbedeutend, ob dies ein Falschflaggen-Einsatz oder die Vorbereitung militärischer Aktivitäten ist. Wichtig ist, dass die Elite das Ziel hat, die Welt mittels Europa zu destabilisieren.

Die finanzielle Situation ist überall auf der Welt kritisch, und ein Krieg ist die einzige Möglichkeit, neue Gewinne zu machen. So sieht es die Familie Rothschild. Der satanische Ableger der Illuminaten will einfach nur Krieg um des Krieges willen.

Dies müsst ihr wissen: Wenn wir keine Panik haben und uns keine Angst machen lassen, haben wir eine weit bessere Chance, eine neue Katastrophe abzuwenden.

Im Laufe der nächsten Tage wird entschieden, ob all dies einfach leise im Sande verläuft, oder ob es zu etwas sehr Ernsthaftem eskaliert wird.

Wer meinen Aussagen der letzten zwei Jahre gefolgt ist, der weiß, dass ich meinen Zuhörern gesagt habe, sie sollen Nahrung und Wasser für zwei Wochen lagern. Nun sagen die offiziellen Regierungen ebenfalls: Bevorratet Nahrung und Wasser.

Ich habe, wie viele andere auch, vor dieser potenziellen Situation gewarnt. Bitte bleibt ruhig und stark. Glaubt nicht einfach alles, was in den Massenmedien gesagt wird.

Nun noch eine Nachricht an alle Mitglieder von Connecting Conciousness:

Bitte stellt sicher, dass ihr die E-Mail-Adressen und Telefonnummern eurer Koordinatoren und regionalen Unterstützungsnetzwerke zur Hand habt. Bitte trefft die nötigen Vorbereitungen, damit ihr und eure Familien so sicher seid, wie es eben geht.

Vielen Dank. Weitere Informationen folgen, sobald ich sie erhalte.

[Auf die Bitte nach einigen Informationen für die amerikanischen Mitglieder hin:]

Die amerikanischen Mitglieder erfahren von alledem nichts in ihren Nachrichten. Es wird dort aus den Medien herausgehalten, und so dürfte dies für viele von euch brandneu sein. Sucht auf den alternativen Medien-Webseiten oder seht euch Internet-Nachrichten aus europäischen Ländern an.

Eure Regierung sagt euch nicht die Wahrheit. Die verbergen sie vor euch. Sucht in den alternativen Nachrichten.

Vielen Dank.

Simon Parkes 28.8.2016, Situation in Europe.

Simon Parkes 28.8.2016, Situation in Europe.

GERMAN
PORTUGUESE

I wanted to do an update after our last information.

A very short period of time after our first update, there was the supposed incident of assassination for the German Chancellor.

I had warned, that the top people in the world had turned against the German Chancellor, and then, within very few hours from our announcement, we were told about this attack on her motorcade.

I understand that some people are thinking that my information is incorrect.

However, when you listen to my first update and then look at the timing of the attack on the motorcade, you'll realize my information is accurate.

There is a group of people who wish a Third World War, and Angela Merkel is seen as the Archduke Ferdinand. The murder of the Archduke caused the First World War.

Germany was manipulated into the First World War and the Second World War.

And they're trying to do the same for a Third World War.

Today,(28:08:2016) the American tanks in central Europe have moved to their final positions, which is an offensive stance.

For the last week, the Americans have been moving their tanks, but it was not reported.

They are now in the final positions, geographically.

The whole point of this is to provoke Russia into [short dropout] a military attack.

Finland today has issued the same warnings to its citizens, as the Czech Republic and Germany herself, namely to store food and water for a minimum of 10 days.

It does not matter if this is all a false flag or a real ramping up of military action. The point is that the elite are wishing to destabilize the world through Europe.

With the financial situation in the world critical, it is seen that a war is the only way to make new profit.

This is the view of the Rothschild family.

The satanic arm of the Illuminati wish war just for war's sake.

Please know this: That if we do not panic and we do not become frightened, we stand a better chance of preventing a new catastrophe.

Over the next few days, the decision will be made whether this just becomes quiet or whether it is escalated to something very serious.

Anyone who has listened to my statements over the last two years will know that I have told people to store food and water for two weeks.

Now, official governments are also saying: Store food and water.

I and many other people have warned of this potential situation. Please remain calm and strong. Do not believe everything that is coming out of mainstream media.

This is now a message to all connecting consciousness members.

Please ensure that you have the email addresses and phone numbers of your coordinators and local support networks.

Please make preparations for you and your family, so that you can be as safe as you can be.

Thank you. I will give more information as I hear it.

[Being asked to say a word towards the American members:]

American members are not being told any of this news. It is being kept out of the American media, so this will be brand-new for many of you. You need to look on the alternative media sites or try to get Internet news from European countries.

You are not being told the truth by your government. It is being hidden from you.

Please seek alternative news.

Thank you.

ERIC ZUESSE -- Clinton Plans to Destroy Russia

ERIC ZUESSE | 31.08.2016 | WORLD

Clinton Plans to Destroy Russia

Leaked emails are filling in the picture of a Bill-and-Hillary-Clinton plan to destroy Russia – a plan which had originated with US President George Herbert Walker Bush in 1990, and which has been followed through both by his son George W Bush, and by both of the Clintons, but which has only recently started to become documented by leaked publications of personal communications amongst the key operatives who were the insiders running this operation behind the scenes, and who include Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, George W Bush, Victoria Nuland, Jeffrey Feltman, Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan al-Saud, Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman al-Saud, and the Emir of Qatar.
