Ukraine/Russia Smell that? That's the smell of a whole lot of sumfin' hitting a very large fan.

Right Wing Nationalists = Fascists Mark my words we are going to end up on the wrong side of this thing.
Trying to learn what is going on in Ukraine/Russia. Watching the conventional news channel on TV for the first time in over a year. What absolute shit this is. Is this what passes for journalism now? Only the BBC and CBC have the thinnest pretense of objectivity. CNN is Laughably Latte Liberal on just about every issue with talking heads who don't even seem to have a rudimentary understanding of geopolitics. Every other "News" outlet seems to be preoccupied by every fluff story about the Oscars they can find. ABSOLUTE CRAP. The networks can't understand why nobody watches anymore? Really?

Anyway, 
CNN has just declared that Russia has invaded Ukraine. The fact that this region is overwhelmingly ethnic Russian makes me wonder; how the hell do they know? "Holy crap! Southern Ukraine is full of Russians! What the hell happened!" "Must have been an invasion."

It  may be that Russia wants to deploy it's forces in the Crimea region to stabilize the nuclear missile silos scattered all over the region. Many forget that after the fall of communism the Ukraine became the world's 4th largest nuclear power.

Stay tuned Apocalyptoids, we're on this.

• The escalating situation is “far worse than we truly know.”
• “There are hundreds of issues at stake here.”
• “Whether it’s temperature, radiation exposure, or the number of people exposed – all of these statistics are flawed. We don’t know anything yet.”
• “This is far worse than what the general public are perceiving.”

Prophecy from 90 Year Old Norwegian Woman

This man will never be forgotten if I have anything to say about it.

On this day in 1983, Soviet military officer Stanislav Petrov single-handedly averted a worldwide nuclear war when he chose to believe his intuition instead of the computer screen in front of him which indicated the US had launched a nuclear missile attack against the Soviet Union... (This remarkable incident proves one man can make a difference...for the whole world!)
Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov was the officer on duty at the Serpukhov-15 bunker near Moscow on September 26, 1983, a time when the Cold War was at a peak. Just three and a half weeks prior, the Soviets had shot down Korean Air Flight 007, killing all 269 people on board the Boeing 747. It was Lt. Col. Petrov's responsibility to observe the satellite early warning network and notify his superiors of any impending nuclear missile attack against the USSR. In the event of such an attack, the Soviet Union's strategy was to launch an immediate all-out nuclear counter-attack against the United States, as the doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction required.
Just past midnight, at 00:40 hrs, the bunker's computers indicated that an American missile was heading toward the Soviet Union. Lt. Col. Petrov reasoned that a computer error had occurred, since the United States was not likely to launch just one missile if it were attacking the Soviet Union -- it would launch many simultaneously. Also, the satellite system's reliability had in the past been questioned, so he dismissed the warning as a false alarm, concluding that no missile had actually been launched by the United States.

However, a short time later the computers indicated that a second missile had been launched, followed by a third, a fourth and a fifth. Petrov still felt that the computer system was wrong, but there was no other source of information with which to confirm his suspicions. The Soviet Union's land radar was not capable of detecting missiles beyond the horizon, so by the time land radar could positively identify the threat, it would be too late.

Petrov's dilemma was this: if he was disregarding a real attack, then the Soviet Union would be devastated by nuclear weapons without any warning or chance to retaliate, and he would have failed at his duty. On the other hand, if he were to report a non-existent attack, his superiors might launch an equally catastrophic assault against their enemies. In either case, millions of people would die.

Understanding that if he were wrong, nuclear missiles would soon be raining down on the Soviet Union, Petrov decided to trust his intuition and declare the system's indications a false alarm. After a short while, it was apparent that his instincts were right. There were no approaching missiles. The crisis put him under immense pressure and stress, yet Petrov's judgement had been sound. A full-scale nuclear war had been averted.

Cuz things just aren't bad enough...

I wonder if I should move to Antarctica or something.

US, Pakistan Near Open War; Chinese Ultimatum Warns Washington Against Attack

Webster G. Tarpley, Ph.D.

May 20, 2011

China has officially put the United States on notice that Washington’s planned attack on Pakistan will be interpreted as an act of aggression against Beijing. This blunt warning represents the first known strategic ultimatum received by the United States in half a century, going back to Soviet warnings during the Berlin crisis of 1958-1961, and indicates the grave danger of general war growing out of the US-Pakistan confrontation.

ASSHOLES

Asshole 1 "Not that serious...under control after all."

Asshole 2 "Situation in Japan is kind of funny."

Asshole 3 "Radiation is good for you."


These self-serving creeps have all hit new lows this week. Particularly hard to stomach in the face of the courage and sacrifice of the Japanese people in general and the heartbreaking heroics of the "Fukushima 50". I hope there's a special little corner of Hell reserved for these three idiots.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. Has Everything Under Control

Seriously, did anyone think that once things started to explode at Fukushima that ANYONE needed freakin' clue how this was going to turn out? I'm no expert in nuclear physics but I DO know that when shit fucking BLOWS UP at a nuke facility, that's really, REALLY bad. Do the "authorities" around the world think the other 6 billion of us are 6 years old or what? I think I'm now at the point in my life where if I believe anyone from any government anywhere is telling me the truth about something I'll drop dead from a heart attack.
