One of the most bitter and brutal Republican mini-civil wars is raging in MI-11, west and northwest of Detroit and we took a brief look at it last week. Incumbent teabagger Kerry Bentivolio is up against a fatally flawed eviction and foreclosurer specialist, Dave Trott, who is being financed by the corrupt Republican Establishment.

Fukushima is not only the greatest environmental disaster of all time, it  will end up being a holocaust!

At least 51 people were killed and 78 more were wounded in attacks and clashes across Iraq. Once again, the greater Baghdad area was the scene of multiple bombings, while Anbar province continued to suffer clashes between militants and security forces.

March 19, 2014 (Tony Cartalucci - New Eastern Outlook) - In Al Jazeera's report, "US suspends diplomatic relations with Syria," it states:

Obama is no John F. Kennedy. And that’s a FACT, Jack! I love America and I am no communist or socialist, but I find myself cheering for the Russian communist over America’s Communist-in-Chief in the battle for the Ukraine.
Any way you look at it, Putin is cooler than Obama!
The strip below contrasting Barack Obama with Vladimir Putin takes a look back in an entertaining and (somewhat) instructive way. Why is our President bowing? Those bows are a character killer.

Merida – On the weekend civilians marched with National Bolivarian Guard (GNB) soldiers, and today the government declared part of Caracas “free” from violent protests. The march came as private media heightened its false statements about GNB actions.

On Saturday in Caracas there was a large civic-military march in support of “peace and life” and the GNB soldiers.

in this Two Fat Ladies "Afternoon Tea" clip, that's Jennifer Paterson (1928-1999) who cooks first. Clarissa gets her turn at 2:36.by KenI'm kind of surprised to see that in all there were only 24 episodes of Two Fat Ladies, produced in four series from 1996 to 1999, when Jennifer Paterson (born 1928) died, within a month of being diagnosed with lung cancer. The younger lady, Clarissa Dickson Wright (born 1947), died Saturday. Separately or together, the two were about the least probable TV stars you could imagine.

The figures do not add up: The Russians constitute 58 percent of Crimea’s population, yet 97 percent of the vote was in favor of joining Russia. If Ukrainians and Tatars had refused to participate in the referendum, voter participation would have been substantially less that 83.1.
The referendum was also a vote against the US-EU sponsored Coup d’etat.

In denying the Russian Federation the courtesy of allowing it to have a coherent alternative view, the US is attempting to claw back the illusion of its unquestioned supremacy, its absolute hegemony, its role as chief moralizer and arbiter of what counts as normal and abnormal in thought and behavior. Because either the world must have gone mad, or Putin must have.

Crimea’s secession from Ukraine was just like Kosovo’s secession from Serbia, and any arguments otherwise are just attempts to bend the West-advocated rules that were applied to the Kosovo case, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
The statements came as Putin was addressing the Russian parliament to convince lawmakers to ratify a treaty, which would make Crimea part of the Russian Federation.

Russian govt to discuss problem of Russians in Transdniestria – Rogozin
MOSCOW: The Russian government plans to discuss measures of support for Transdniestria in connection with the blockade that Ukraine actually declared against this republic on March 20, said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin.

We love our country – we have no love for Washington DC (a separate entity) – We the people have an interest in all of this of course. On the Ukraine, we F’d up! Its good to admit when you’re wrong. Hello?

Washington’s plan to seize Ukraine and to evict Russia from its Black Sea naval base has come amiss. But as Lenin said, “two steps forward, one step back.”

Three years ago, the UN approved NATO action in Libya to impose a no-fly zone and head off an allegedly imminent bloodbath perpetrated by the Gadhafi regime. Days before this third anniversary, the Libyan parliament basically impeached the Prime Minister following the government’s inability to do anything about armed groups in the east taking control of oil resources. There is veritable power vacuum in the country that continues to generate instability there and throughout the region.

Of course, it is illegal and, of course, it will be rigged, that referendum in Crimea today. And, of course, it is a ploy and comes only in the wake of Russia’s (read Putin’s) unprovoked aggression, used as a pretext to build a new Greater Russia.
That is, if you browse the mainstream Western media the last week and on this Sunday morning.
