2015-04-01 US: Organized State Crime
=============================
Organized crime by judges and police is common, both at the federal and state levels. Organized crime in state justice agencies is prosecuted by federal agencies from time to time. However, similar organized crime in federal agencies is above the law...

2015-03-31 Pepe reporting from rebel East Ukraine
=========================
Stasia lays a flower on the ground where her squad was under heavy fire by Kiev's goons last summer, with one dead and twenty wounded out of 35. She was hit byshrapnel, but survived. I mention it in my Asia Times "Howling" column.
The pic is by my friend and force of nature Janus Putkonen - we were on this trip together, along with Vanya and two kick-ass TV crews from Serbia and Slovenia.
Here's one of the reports part of the outstanding coverage by Janus, in Finnish:
The trip was made possible by German-based media project Europa Objektiv and their first class team. Yes, there ARE a lot of people across Europe with a conscience - and they do care about the people of Donbass. They are not, obviously, political "leaders".

2015-03-31 TURKEY: ‪#‎DHKC‬ (Revolutionary People's Liberation Front) today took as hostage the Public Prosecutor, who leads the investigations of the murder of ‪#‎Berkin_Elvan‬

2015-03-31 TURKEY: ‪#‎DHKC‬ (Revolutionary People's Liberation Front) today took as hostage the Public Prosecutor, who leads the investigations of the murder of ‪#‎Berkin_Elvan‬
==============
Fighters of the ‪#‎DHKC‬ (Revolutionary People's Liberation Front) today took as hostage the Public Prosecutor, who leads the investigations of the murder of ‪#Berkin_Elvan‬ at 12.36 local time, in his office at the 6th floor of ‪#‎Istanbul‬'s Caglayan Court.
They put an ultimatum until 15.36 and announced their demands
1- The policemen, who killed Berkin Elvan shall go in front of live-cameras and confess their crime.
2- The policemen shall be charged before a people's court.
3) All accusations against persons, who were faced with judicial inquiries, who were dismissed or arrested for taking part in actions for Berkin Elvan, shall be reversed.
4) After the limit of three hours, there shall be granted a secure withdrawal.
5) Contact to a delegation.Persons who shall be present in negotiations:
Ümit Kocasakal (president of the #Istanbul Bar Association), Sezgin Tanrıkulu (CHP-deputy), a lawyer of CHD (Association of Progressive Jurists), 1 person of the people's council, relatives of June martyrs, and members of TAYAD (Association of Prisoner's Relatives)
In a voice recording, which was published by the media, the DHKC fighters stated:.
"There's no justice. We said 'We will establish justice'. Exactly, we're going to establish justice. Until today there was no justice established by this system for the dozens of children of the people. Justice will come from the barrel of the guns. It will be established by the struggle of revolutionaries. We send our greetings to the families, who lost their children. Maybe today we will be martyred here for their cause and the cause of their children. We repeat 'We will create justice'.
Still there is big tension at the court of Caglayan:
It is not clear yet, how the situation is inside. But it is fact, that the governor of Istanbul shortly after the end of the ultimatum gave a statement, where he called Berkin Elan suddenly as 'our child' and that 'everyone was so sad about the happenings'. Of course, these words aren't credible, since today's president himself said publicly without remorse, that he gave personally the order to kill this child.
‪#‎Police‬ president and governor have stated, that they will be followers of the demands of the activists and hope that no one will be harmed..
The DHKC fighters said shortly before end of ultimatum:
"If you publish the names of the murderers of Berkin Elvan, we will save the public prosecutor".
At this hour negotiations go on.
A delegation of new CHD leaders Gökmen Yesil, Sükriye Erden, as well as the president of the Turkish Bar Association Metin Feyzioglu, the head of Istanbul's Bar Association Ümit Kocasakal is recently present in the court.
It is waiting at the Prosecutors Office.
A group of 20 persons is holding a sit-in in front of the courthouse.
Lawyers of People's Law Office say: They could negotiate about other issues, if the names of the suspect policemen, whose photos were published, are announced.
The DHKC fighters continue to insist, that the names of the murderers of Berkin Elvan are being revealed and that the murderers go before live channels to give a statement. If they don't do so, they would punish the Public Prosecutor. If the names of the murderers were revealed, there won't be any action against the prosecutor and he could leave the building together without being harmed.

2015-03-31 ISRAEL: Governed by the banking cartel
========================================
Today, Israeli media published various reports regarding Israel's central bank, on the occasion of its annual report. Bank of Israel reserves are as follows:
* 2/3 US Dollar
* 1/3 Euro and UK Pound
NO GOLD AT ALL.
NO CHINESE CURRENCY AT ALL.
That, on top of a NIS 50 billion loss on currency trades, resulting from policies instituted by Stanley Fischer - top Bankster - today No 2 at the Federal Reserve.. Under his tenure as Bank of Israel Governor (Bibi's personal import), Bank of Israel became more secretive than ever... And policies he instituted created a real estate bubble, which nobody has a clue how to get out of...
Bank of Israel is a critical risk for the security and independence of the State of Israel!

מה שמדהים יותר מכל, הוא הרכב הרזרבות המוצהרות של בנק ישראל:
* שני שליש דולרים אמריקאים
* שליש יורו ושטרלינג
מה חסר??
* מטבע סיני
* זהב!!!
בעולם בו הדולר והיורו בלתי יציבים, רוב הבנקים המרכזיים בעולם מחזיקים רזרבות ניכרות בזהב. לא אצלנו. על פי דיווחים - אין כלל רזרבות זהב מזה שנים!
וזה שאין כל רזרבות במטבע סיני ג"כ אומר דרשני...
שלא להזכיר את הבור השחור של 50 מיליארד ש"ח הפסדים בבנק ישראל...
בנק ישראל הפך לסכנה מוחשית למדינת ישראל!

Declaration of bankruptcy: Schröder punish Merkel's Russia policy! Dismissed former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder (SPD), by the Western media as "Putinversteher", condemned in an interview Russia course by Angela Merkel in the Ukraine crisis in the strongest possible terms and said that he had understanding for Russia's foreign policy concerns and that there is absolutely no reason to be afraid of a possible threat to Russia in Eastern Europe.[1]

Schröder stressed that he also knew "nobody, not in Russia, which would be so crazy even to consider it, to call into question the territorial integrity of Poland or the Baltic States." An objective examination of the facts shows the complete opposite of what you make to the accusation Russia. Because not Russia threatens the territorial integrity of other States, but threaten the territorial integrity of the Russians of the West and NATO. Schröder said:

[...] With the end of the Soviet Union, the Warsaw Pact has ceased to exist, while the NATO not only continued, but has considerably expanded eastwards. [...]

Gerhard Schröder, Chancellor from 1998 to 2005, understand Russia's concerns related to the growing isolation of the country together. He insisted that to isolate the test Russia international is "wrong", because the responsibility for the crisis in the Ukraine at "all parties". In this conflict "all pages of errors made," and these have in "Carried a spiral of sanctions, threats, and violence."

The Social Democrat also criticized the attitude of the Chancellor in the EU Association Agreement. She would have committed, that the Commission does not "negotiated only with the Ukraine and not with Russia on an EU Association" and stressed that the "Ukrainian culture in split is." He condemned the exclusion of Russia from the G8 Group sharply, because "in the crisis talks are essential."
