One of George Bush's first acts after becoming president was to stop all US funds to foreign organisations that helped women in any way to get an abortion, including providing advice. The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) lost $34m that Congress had appropriated for it in 2002.

"At a time when governments have pledged to increase their commitment to improving the health of women, only the Bush administration could find logic in the idea that they can reduce abortion and promote choice for women in China by causing more abortion," said Hovig.

Secret Services (three patrs). Part II. "Who hath ears to hear, let him hear"

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:35:48 GMT

"W H O H A T H E A R S T O H E A R , L E T H I M H E A R..." *

"Of whom a man is overcome,
of the same is he brought in bounge"
(2Pet. 1,29)

What is a rear sight shooting? Everybody knows. It is a shooting when one chooses an aim among several ones placed not so far each from other, then he is taking a careful sight and... Right! Meanwhile, since telescopic sights started to be used, a rear sight shooting became to be an accuracy itself.
Do you think it is possible to hit a person being in the in the crowd or in one place with some other people with gasiform poison gas (PG)? It turned out that it is possible.
The method of doing this is very simple. It is used by Secret Services without any difficulties, though it is beyond even the imagination of a sane, normal person. One is filled (or, as one of Russian Human Rights defender has said, "pumped full") by force with gasiform organic phosphates - PG affecting the central nervous system of a human being. May be any other PG are used as well, but we know nothing about that.
"How is it possible to fill anybody with poison gas? - a reader will ask, - Well, it is possible to poison one. It is easy to comprehend. It is enough to let the gas get into the room where one is located, and that is it! Of course, at the same time all the other people who are present at the moment in this place would be stricken as well. But to fill one with gas?!
It turned out that this is also possible. As a rule, this is done while the night time. A gasiform colourless and odourless organic phosphates are being sent to the room where one is sleeping (let's get down to the version when there is nobody except for him in the room while the night time). It is not so complicated from the technical point of view. They send to one's room PG in a very small quantity and of a very slight concentration. The concentration of PG is so slight that it doesn't do a human being any harm. It even doesn't attract his attention (at least, while the first time). In other words, one is sleeping and has no idea what happens to him in spite of himself. There are two such attacks with some time interval during the night. As a rule, each attack lasts about an hour.
It is necessary to say that organic phosphates are quickly withdrawn from human being's organism with urine, breathing, perspiration... At the next evening there are almost no any poison in the one's organism. That is what on that very "almost" this Jesuitical method of pressure upon the person and his enslaving is based.
On the second night the person is treated with the gas attacks again, and at the end of the second day almost all PG given to him during the second night are withdrawn as well. However the remaining quantity of PG is added to the remaining quantity of the first night PG, then to the total remaining quantity of the two nights PG, then to the total remaining quantity of the three nights PG, etc. At the same time while the day and the evening time they are doing their best not to miss the moment when he is alone in the place - in the room, in the bathroom, in the kitchen (the prey's apartment is always overheard, and often it is overseen as well) and to add to him some quantity of PG. Moreover, they treat him with PG in the street, using a specific methods (I'll tell about this later).
If one is not alone in the room during the night (let's consider this version now) they don't treat him while the night time (except for the case when he goes to the bathroom), and all of the operation is performed while the daytime. In this case it takes the Secret Service more time to reach the final result as usual. Though, one or two nights they can work with him for all that, because the quantity of PG sent to the room for these two nights is so few, that those members of his family who share the room with him don't even notice it.

"So, what is the aim of such a filling a person with PG?" - an inquisitive reader will ask again, - And how is a rear sight shooting concerned in this case?"
In some time (approximately between two weeks and a month after the beginning of the operation) a person begins to comprehend what happens to him. At this time he began to sense the gas which is sent imperceptibly into his room. He has already felt bad enough. His face glows, though it looks like usual. He senses some burning in his breast. His salvia becomes viscous and unnaturally white. There are small cramp twitches of different groups of muscles all over his body (convulsion readiness). Moreover, it became very difficult for him to think something over. It is necessary to add some somnolence which is very strong from time to time. We know the case when a person fell asleep while the intercourse, and another time when he was driving.
That is the time when the person became to be an open target for a rear sight treating him with poison gases wherever he was. The small quantity of PG of trifling concentration which is baneful for him is at the same time practically harmless for people who find themselves close to him at the moment. They even don't notice it. Now it is possible to hit him with the poison gases when he is among his family, friends, colleagues, in the urban transport, in the cinema, in the theatre etc, not being worried about people who find themselves occasionally in the zone of poison gases.
At this time the Secret Service begins to remind about itself (from the very beginning of the poison gas operation it has not revealed itself). Ominous silent or strange telephone calls are heard in his place.
It is high time to explain now in what cases and when Secret Services use such a complicated, cumbersome and very expensive method of pressure upon a person. Of course, nothing is done off the cuff. Nothing is done without rhyme or reason. A long, laborious, single-minded work always precedes the gas attack, but the main thing in this situation is the fact that this work because of different reasons result nothing.
However, the absence of any result is not enough for a Secret Service to get down to this method. It should be the absence of a very significant result. It occurs sometimes that in a Secret Service's opinion (which very often is absolutely wrong), a person has some very important information. I addition he has some information which could compromise the Secret Service seriously. For example, he is aware about some inhuman methods of pressure upon people who are under investigation or shadowing Secret Services uses. If Secret Service suspects that the person intends to give publicity to this information, they get down to this method. They are sure that the best way for them to obtain from him the necessary information and at the same time to disavow him as a dangerous witness is to enlist him, converting him into their secret agent. This method leads to the person's persistent poisoning, and then, as a result of it - to recruiting him by force.
The person who has against his will been plunged into a chronic poisoning finds himself on a very short lead. Now it is absolutely possible to manipulate with his health making him feel well or bad. It sounds terrible, isn't it? However, it is really so.
Practically he is already an invalid. He is not able to tolerate a regular cigarette smoke, be found near any detergents (washing powder and so on), drop in any hardware store where they sell paints, be found in any place if it has just been painted. It is unnecessary to mention the case when somebody in the neighbourhood of him starts to determinate cockroaches or bed-bugs. All of this causes a heavy wasting cough which looks like vomiting. Besides that, he discovers that it is difficult for him to think, difficult to arrive at decisions, difficult to go in for any intellectual work. It takes him much more time to solve any intellectual task than it took him before.
The person rushes to a hardware store and purchases gas mask supplied with anti-chemical filters. During some time he feels rather easier. However, the filter soon shrinks low, and he has to buy another one. He goes to the store and finds out that there are neither protective masks nor anti-chemical filters on sale. He goes to another store, then to the second one, then to third one... There is the same situation everywhere. He starts to have such a feeling that, at least, in his local area both masks and filters has been removed by somebody's order. He goes to another district of the city and comes across a very familiar situation. In all hardware stores whatever he may go into, he is told that five minutes before there a man came and bought all of protective masks and filters .
If he is lucky somehow or rather to purchase any anti-chemical filters, he has to cherish them as the apple of his eye and by no means to leave them in the uninhabited apartment. Otherwise he will not be able to use them: breathing through them will cause a heavy cough described above, as if someone while the absence of people in the apartment brought some quantity of PG on the filters' surface.
Trying to make his lot easier, the person does his best to spend time in the fresh air as long as he can. However, even in this case he encounters some kind of "surprise". The "surprise" in this case depends on the geographical location of the Secret Service which persecutes him. On the straight like an arrow streets of the transoceanic power's cities the "surprise" overtakes him in the shape of an invisible gasiform cloud thrown out of the operative cars specially equipped for such an aim and shooting past him with a high speed.
On the Russian streets the person is being followed by operative people with such bags of the same type on their shoulders. We are not aware about the contents of these bags, however, as soon as one of the operative people approaches the person the latter at once finds himself within a gas cloud.
Of course, he has possibility to go to the country (to the forest, for example), to the park or to the see (if he lives in the city situated near the see). However, in a very short time he feels that organic phosphates are going to him again with the wind for this time. In spite of their being colourless and odourless he recognizes them at once because he feels sharply ill.

"But to what extent is it possible to fill one with such a muck?", - the reader exclaimed again.
Two toxicologists - an American and a Russian one - has told him in informal conversation, that the time comes when a person in the position like his can lose his conscious for the short time. So, that is what Secret Services strive to reach in this situation.
If it happens in the street the person very soon finds himself in the hospital. (He is brought there by the ambulance, which was passing near that place "by chance"). The doctors, at least some of them, know very well what kind of patient has come to them. They are aware quite well what was the real reason of his falling unconscious in the street.
The tragedy of his situation lies in the fact that he can explain nothing to anyone. Once he drops a hint at some poisoning or gases a heavy mental diagnosis will show in his chart. But he is sure to be examined by a psychiatrist. However, it will occur later. In the meantime the doctors are doing their best to make him feel all of the hopelessness of his conditions. In his presents they start expressive discussion about his conjectural brain's swelling. But when the person goes through necessary examinations and it becomes absolutely clear that there is no any swelling in his brain, the doctors get down to asking him, if there have been any lunatics in his family. All of this is designed for making him lose any hope and agree with informal contacts with the Secret Service: " Oh! Oh! I am ready for everything!"
If it doesn't happen, the person falls in the street again in some time after his leaving the hospital and finds himself in the hospital again. After that it happened once again and after that again and again. At least a psychiatrist is invited to examine him.
However, everything what takes place in the hospital is a fruit of the author's imagination. He permitted himself to let his imagination run. He doesn't have any experience of losing his consciousness, falling in the Street and finding himself in the hospital. However ha has another experience. I'll retell about it later.

So, what Secret Services exactly uses this Jesuitical, man-hating, violating all of the basic human rights method? By our own experience we know that American and Russian Secret Services use it. We can suppose that Secret Services of countries which are friendly to USA and Russia are armed with that method.
Everything here is very simple in general. Secret Services of former Soviet Republics also as the former social republics of the Eastern Block have inherited this method from the Soviet KGB. Those among them which after disintegration of the Soviet Union gave guidance to the North Atlantic Union could besides that receive it from their new transatlantic partners. As far as the Western Europe democratic countries are concerned, it is widely known their close connections with their American colleagues.
There is a particular piquancy, lying in the fact that the Secret Services of the opposite orientations have some kind of a mutual guarantee. They have an informal arrangement to cover this awful method up from the world general public. In 1996 in America we knew one Russian immigrant who was suggested to come to unofficial relations with one of the American Secret Services. When he firmly rejected their suggestion, they "pumped" him up with gasiform organic phosphates. Then he got a plane ticket and, using the opportunity since he had a Russian passport, left USA for Moscow. Just in several hours after his arriving he was taken up by KGB with the same method. The reason of that lay in the fact that they were aware of what had happened to him in America. They knew everything (I mean that Americans had tried to recruit him using that method) out of telephone conversations which he was holding with one of the well known Russian Human Rights defenders and from the detail letter which he had faxed her from New-York.

But why doesn't the person, who as the fate's decree has fallen a prey to this horrible method, relate about everything to everybody? Why doesn't he narrate about his awful story his friends, neighbours, fellow-employees? Why doesn't he appeal to the mass media, or at last to the police? In the answer of this very important question lies the explanation of this crying scandalous fact. How it has generally happened that such a method has become to be possible on the Earth? Why do two-legged creatures from Secret Services, who have the insolence to call themselves human beings, dare to use this method to homosapients? How it has happened that the human association allows such a thing? The answer of this question is simple and frightful. The human association knows nothing about this.
These poor things who has found himself in such a position are not heard by anybody. Their stories are sounded so preposterous that it is much more easier for the interlocutor to take this as a fruit of morbid fantasy, take the narrator to be a little bit out of himself than believe everything. Yuriy Vlasov, repeated world and Olympic games champion and the prominent dissident, who at the end of the 80-s embarked on a single combat with KGB (his lungs have been ruined by KGB just with poison gases), used to say: "When one says that it is possible for the certain forces to make anyone fall ill, to convert anyone into a sick person, the people who hear all of this are declined to perceive this as the revealing of unbalanced character..."
In addition the person who is being treated with PG affecting the central nervous system of a human being, really can make a strange impression. It is difficult for him to collect his thoughts, difficult to concentrate his attention at the certain topic... Moreover, if it is known that he is going to some serious meeting, he can on his way to it suddenly feel such typical (known very well to psychiatrists) jerks of his head, such typical movement of his tongue. His interlocutor really can think that this poor fellow is out of himself a little bit, particularly if he meets him first.
The same about organizations - state as well as the human rights ones, where these poor tings try to appeal. For example, the mentioned above the Russian immigrant in America who had been pumped with PG by American Secret Services sent by fax his complaint to different state organizations. Moreover, he sent it to the American branch of Amnesty International, and Human-Rights Watch / Helsinki. Besides that, he was acquainted with the well known Russian human-rights defender Ludmila Alekseesva (she had just returned to Moscow after 20 years sojourn in USA) and faxed her his complaint from New-York as well. Apart from that, he gave her several calls from New-York and narrated about his situation in details. She expressed sympathy with him and made him believe that American human-rights were sure tor respond his complaint. She suggested also her relating everything the representative of American Human-Rights Watch / Helsinki (her name seemed to be Rachel) who was at that time in Moscow.
In several days Mrs. Alekseeva told him about the conversation with American lady. On hearing about poison gases, she exclaimed: "This is absolutely impossible in our country!" (The well known Russian writer Anton Tchekhov came to his mind at once: "It is impossible, because it is never possible!" That's it! It was such a reaction of Human-Rights defender to the narration of the appalling Human-Rights violations. She neither asked Mrs. Alekseeva to give her the prey's phone number so that she could give him a call and make inquiries about everything, nor manifested the willing to give a call her Helsinki’s Group colleagues and display interest, how the investigation of the events described in the complaint is going on, and why after all there had been no response for the complaint.
Shortly after that the person arrived by air to Moscow, where at the same day was taken up by KGB with the same method. From the fax which he had sent Mrs. Alekseeva from New-York and their phone talks as well KGB knew what had occured to him in USA. (By the by then it was not necessary to fill him out with anything to have him led by the Secret Service as it had been done at the beginning of the operation. It was quite enough just to going on with him what Americans were doing). Then he went to Mrs. Alekseeva (they met at her apartment in the Old Arbat street) and once again in this time in details narrated her his story.
Probably, he really was a little bit out of himself. (On his way to her he paid attention to some people with such bags of the same type on their shoulders who were being followed him). However, he noticed that she was peering into him rather than hearing what he was saying. Suddenly she lost her interest in him and told something an American lady who visited her at that time. He heard that they were talking about the weather...
In three weeks he returned to New-York and found out that no one of the organizations - neither state nor Human-Rights ones where he had appealed with his complaint, replied to it. However, he became rather soon aware of American Secret Services’ actions in respond. He was told in an overt way... By the way, it should be interesting (particularly for those who have their own experience of being under some Secret Services' pressure) what it means - "in an overt way". Did they give him a call? Or did they call him up with subpoena or in any other way? Oh, but there was nothing like that. Simply one of his nodding acquaintance whom he had seen several times in his life suddenly showed specific knowledge of his biography and some everyday facts which his wife and him were discussing in their bedroom. Having shown in that way in the concrete his ID the acquaintance told out of the blue sky: "They don't let anybody come out of the condition like you have found yourself in. They have mixed you up, taken you not for the person you really are. However, you turned out to be a complete blunderer and faxed your complaint everywhere. As result of this there is the only way to correct the situation now. You have to visit a psychiatrist and let him diagnose you slightly. In five years it would be possible to remove this diagnosis, and the people who urge you now to do this will tell "Such a smart person he is!" If you do this you'll feel at once much more easier".
Fortunately, not all the people whom these poor things appeal to for the help are deaf for them. There are some of them ("Who hath ears to hear, let him hear...") who though with difficulty catch the situation. (It is interesting that those who truly respond to the strange misfortune turn often out to believe in the Lord). And here it is very important for the man who has really comprehended what happens in the concrete, to behave in a right way. Not being as a rule a Human-Rights defender, he nevertheless has to to act as a Human-Rights defender. And now we would like to give him several advices.

An Open Letter to All Evangelical, Far-Right Conservatives

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:35:46 GMT

(Cross-posted from my personal journal)

You are the poster children for the old adage, "ignorance is bliss." This is no longer an issue of opinion or personal bias; it is your willing exercising of ignorance of facts.

I am now officially making a conscious effort to extract, to the highest extent possible, your ignorant kind from my life. Call it emo, call it an ultimatum, call it my sticking my head in the sand; I really don't care. I am officially done with dealing with stupid people who actively advocate and vote against the best interests of the United States and the average American citizenry.

Beneath the cut, you will find a fairly long list. If you agree with any or all of the statements in this list, kindly do us both a favor: do not talk to me or approach me in any manner whatsoever. Scrub me from your LJ friends list. Leave me the hell alone, permanently. I suppose this may sound harsh, and even a bit hypocritical, but I can only beat my head against a brick wall for so long before I pull my bloody forehead away and say enough is enough.

Just one added note: I do have some conservative friends who are more than open to honest, factual and frank discussions about the issues listed below. The people I am addressing here are those with permanently closed, locked and sealed far-right-wing minds who can't even see they are harming themselves or others.

So, kindly go away if you believe the following:

--that the George W. Bush administration has even the slightest understanding or concern for the average American

--that the protection of a human life should begin at conception but end at birth; from there forward a person is on their own, and that any other societal protection would be "socialism" or a "welfare state"

--that no woman is intelligent enough to make her own choices when it comes to her own body and reproductive rights

--that homosexuality is a sin punishable by eternal damnation

--that homosexuality is a "lifestyle choice"

--that the practice of a homosexual lifestyle is only acceptable if you are a prominent Republican official

--that the practice of pedophilia is only acceptable if you are a prominent Republican official or member of the clergy

--that IOKIYAR (It's Okay If You Are A Republican) is legitimate and non-hypocritical doctrine

--that the universe was created literally in six 24-hour days

--that the earth itself is no more than 6,500 years old, despite mountains of proof to the contrary

--that Creationism is a legitimate scientifically-testable theory

--that Evolution isn't (see above)

--that "Christianity" consists of assigning to God all your hatreds and bigotry, based on extremely loose translations of a 1,500-year-old man-written tome, which has been heavily edited and altered dozens, if not hundreds, of times over the years

--that the Jewish people will be pivotal in the End Times, but once they have served their purpose for "real" Christians to get into the temple of heaven, the Jews will be eternally damned

--that the Fox News Channel is an unbiased, fact-checked source of legitimate news and reporting

--that Iraq or the Saddam Hussein regime had any involvement whatsoever in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, The Pentagon and Flight 93 which crashed in western Pennsylvania

--that footage of those attacks is acceptable to use in political advertising by the Republican party, but is a "moral outrage" if any one else does it

--that the 9/11 attacks, Hurricane Katrina, or any other disaster can be attributed to "God's punishment" against gays, Liberals, or feminists--or basically, anyone who doesn't agree 100% with your ideology

--that the "War on Terror" has created anything besides a mountain of dead bodies and even more potential terrorists

--that the majority of the civilized world hates the failed foreign policies of the United States is no big deal

--that capturing and/or killing Osama bin Laden is no longer important

--in the old stereotype of the "tax-and-spend liberal," despite the fact that the spending and deficit-building of the Bush administration has outpaced all the previous American presidential administrations combined

--that it is in any way acceptable that nearly 50 million Americans--roughly one-seventh to one-sixth of the country's population--has little or no health insurance coverage

--that George W. Bush's reference to the United States Constitution as "just a goddamned piece of paper" was just a cute little joke or slip of the tongue

--that Barack Obama was ever a member of the Muslim faith

--that Barack Obama's middle name somehow makes him a Muslim--with the understanding, of course...

--that all members of the Muslim faith, without exception, are wild-eyed terrorists obsessed only with the destruction of all Americans

--that somehow you can equate the surname "Obama" with "Osama"

--that the distribution of "Obama Waffles," depicting Barack Obama as a thick-lipped Aunt Jemima stereotype--with a bonus image on the box of him in a Muslim turban--is "political satire" but not racism

--that wearing buttons that read, "If Obama becomes President, can we still call it the White House?" is anything but openly racist

--that, for even a microsecond, you seriously pondered the question, "Is Obama the Anti-Christ?"

--that the use of the term "Democrat Party" somehow doesn't make you look immature, cruel or illiterate

--that hunting defenseless wolves from the air in a helicopter is not a barbaric, cruel and unfair practice

--that book banning and/or censoring deals only with the protection of our youth, and has nothing to do with the tenets of Fascism or violation of our First Amendment rights

--that referring to your wife as a "cunt" and "trollop" is perfectly acceptable

--that Democrats/Liberals/Progressives hate America simply because they don't agree with you

--that wearing a United States flag lapel pin made in China makes one damned bit of difference

--that a yellow ribbon "Support Our Troops" magnet on your vehicle absolves you from any attempt at real support

--that taking your shoes off and putting your shampoo in a Ziploc bag at the airport security checkpoint accomplishes anything

--that an important selection criterion for a major world leader isn't intelligence, experience or ability to lead, but who you would rather have a beer with

--that Terry Schiavo should have been allowed to be a living, breathing piece of meat with no measurable quality of life

--that the sole goal of "education" in the United States should be teaching toward an ethnically-biased test--a program that is federally-mandated, but with next to no funding

--that Ronald Reagan was one of the greatest Presidents in American History (?!)

--that Bill Clinton's blow job was an impeachable offense, but that the treasonous and Unconstitutional actions of the Bush-Cheney cabal over the past 7.5 years are excusable

--that the American economy is currently in even remotely good health

Russia DID NOT ATTACK Georgia!

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 10:51:32 GMT

The world. You deceive! World mass media conduct propagation of a false information. Russia DID NOT ATTACK Georgia! 07.08.2008 at 22:00 Georgia has attacked South Ossetia. At 3:30 08.08.2008 tanks of the Georgian armies have entered into city Tskhinvali. Artillery bombardment all the day long proceeded, fights with use of tanks and heavy combat material, both against ossetic armies, and against peace inhabitants were conducted. 2000 civil people already were lost. The Russian peacemakers have arrived to South Ossetia in the evening 08.08.2008 for settlement of the conflict and prompting of the world in republic and protection of the Russian citizens living on territory of South Ossetia. Georgia has attacked South Ossetia on eve of Olympiad, it is top of cruelty and cynicism. We shall tell is not present to WAR!!!

----------------------------
The Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has called the Georgian assault “a crime”.

He has personally toured the beds of the injured, and spoken with refugees, across the border in North Ossetia, inside Russia. He said he could no longer bear to listen to their appalling stories.

One women told him she had seen relatives pushed into a house which was then set on fire. Another described an old woman and two children being crushed by a Georgian tank. Putin insisted it was “beyond the imagination of any civilised person”.

The prime minister returned to Moscow adamant that Russian intervention in South Ossetia was completely justified.

In front of television cameras, speaking to President Dmitry Medvedev, Putin said:
“People are in a difficult situation, especially old people, children and women. They have seen a lot of suffering. I would like to draw your attention, Mr President, to elements of genocide against South Ossetian people”

It appears there are moves to create humanitarian corridors for refugees to flee. But Georgia insists nothing has yet been agreed.

No western cameras in South Ossetia
The conflict over Georgia’s breakaway republic is as much about information as it is about weapons. South Ossetia's press service claims Western media outlets can't be trusted because they haven't been operating in the region ”since the conflict began”.

Georgia!!!

Hi, this video is directed to an American public and the rest of civilized Western world. I am a Russian citizen, I live in United States for a long time, for over 10 years. I happened to be in Russia now and I caught all this "action" that's taking place in South Ossetia, a region in Georgia. I never posted on youtube, but I couldn't hold myself from doing it now. I had to do this.
My message to American public is meant as a wake up call. American and other Western media especially CNN is feeding you complete horse shit! Russia did not invade and did not attack Georgia. It was a response to a horrible war crime committed by Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili, this irresponsible man who just can't stand Russia, hates us, and will kiss America's and Europe's ass just to get a chance to join NATO and European Union. America has always supported Georgian "democracy" and I suspect actually that it was America who instigated Georgia to commit this crime.... on the first day of Olympics! How ironic is that? But please don't take this allegation too close heartedly, my point is not about whether or not U.S. government had any role in this, my point is to give you truth about what really happened Thursday night

So again, Russia did not invade or attack Georgia, as your media outlets are saying.

A brief geography and history lesson. South Ossetia is a very small region about 40 miles by 40 miles in the northern Georgia. It's population is around 70000 people. It borders with Russia. Today, many of the residents of South Ossetia are Russian citizens holding Russian passports, it's our people. South Ossetia had claimed independence from Georgia in 1992. Obviously it was never recognized by any international organizations. In 2006, they held an election where 99% of the voters supported independence from Georgia, and the turn out rate was 95%, it was monitored by a team of 34 international observers from the West. It still was not recognized by the world. As an analogy I would like to bring Kosovo situation, Serbian region in the south that was illegally snatched from Serbia and made into an independent country. Please look it up on Wikipedia and see how similar this situation is. How ironic is that America never supported Southern Ossetia same way it supported Kosovo. Obviously, it was made to show Russia how unfriendly the rest of the world is towards us.

Thursday night, Georgian military started an attack against South Ossetia. It was yesterday. They shelled the main city of Tshinkvali. They killed over a 1000 people. The excuse was to "restore the constitutional order in the region". BULLSHIT! This attack was an attempt to commit "ethnic cleansing", it was an act of genocide. They shelled civilian houses, schools, hospitals, without any warning. They also captured several villages near Tshinkvali. Reports say that they attempt to kill anyone of the Ossetian nationality. It was a pure act of Genocide. Wake up!

Russia couldn't watch this atrocity happening to its own citizens. We had no choice but to bring in our military into the region and protect our people. Whatever happens next the world needs to know, that the cause of this conflict is Georgia and its president. Before you accept what your media tells you, before you get fired up by McCains irresponsible allegations and comments, try remember all the lies that American media had always fed you, try to read news from other media outlets, not russian, but other parts of the world, other than U.S. or U.K.'s media.

America needs to wake up and stop doing what it's doing. Stop seeing an enemy in Russia. Stop using countries like Georgia, Ukraine, Poland, Latvia, Estonia who are basically acting like prostitutes of U.S. government in their public acts of hatred towards Russia.

And finally need to say, Mr. SSHAshvili that's how we like to call him. S.SH.A stands for U.S.A in Russian. Mr. SSHAshvili will pay for what happened yesterday.

South Ossetia

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 10:51:23 GMT

07.08.2008 at 22:00 Georgia has attacked South Ossetia. At 3:30 08.08.2008 tanks of the Georgian armies have entered into city Tskhinvali. Artillery bombardment all the day long proceeded, fights with use of tanks and heavy combat material, both against ossetic armies, and against peace inhabitants were conducted. 1400 civil people already were lost. The Russian peacemakers have arrived to South Ossetia in the evening 08.08.2008 for settlement of the conflict and prompting of the world in republic and protection of the Russian citizens living on territory of South Ossetia. Georgia has attacked South Ossetia on eve of Olympiad, it is top of cruelty and cynicism.

All of this pictures was taken in South Ossetia.

Destroyed tank of georgian invaiders.

Georgian soldiers were shooting down women, old people and children in South Ossetia. Eight populated areas were wiped off from the face of the earth. Their defenders fell during Georgian aviation attack. As witnessed by Ilona Djioeva, resident of Dmenis village, “Georgian war- civilians’ houses and then the village was entered by soldiers who shot up old people, women and children”.
“We managed to get to the positions of the Russian peace-making contingent and they helped us to get to a safe place. Georgian shot down escaping people; the wounded were shot through the head. Only a few people survived. Russian soldiers helped us to get out of it.
Now my mother and I are going to Mozdok region, which is in Ossetia. We don’t know anything about my brother. He works in Tskhinval militia” – told IA Regnum correspondent, a 19 year old student.

Georgian troops shooting unarmed civilian watch!
Short movie from Georgian TV news. Soldiers shooting unarmed man. They don't want even try to hide these moment.

Secret Services (three parts). Part III. "The advices to a Human-Rights defender"

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 10:51:11 GMT

T h e a d v i c e s t o a H u m a n - R i g h t s d e f e n d e r

- It is necessary to remember that the person who has appealed for help is already not able to protect himself. He is really sick since he is being influenced with PG aiming affecting the central nervous system of a human being. Any actions which require to be considered carefully cost him much efforts including the very conversation with the Human-Rights defender. Because of that he needs to be treated with great solicitude. It is necessary at once to let him understand that now he is not alone in his situation, that he is sure to be protected and to persuade him that it is true.
However, the Human-Rights defender has to remember that as soon as he has gone deeply into the person's position, considered it carefully, and is going to protect him, he finds himself in jeopardy, particularly if he is firmly determined to give publicity to all situation.
We will not here recall the Secret Service's arsenal which they are able to apply order to close the Human-Rights defender's mouth. However, they are sure to do their best to do this. Just exactly by reason of that it is necessary to make all of the story public - to give it to mass media, narrate it as many people as it is possible. However, each time when the Human-Rights defender intends to relate this story to anyone he has to be confident that he will be heard.
It is necessary to forget about all the attempts to perceive the Secret Service's motive because of which it treats its prey so cruelly. Secret Services sometimes have rather different logic than a common, normal man has. What, the fact that seems to a normal one to be preposterous can be quite logical and reasonable for Secret Services. By the way, it often regards not the interests of the State, but interdepartmental ones and sometimes even strictly practical private ones. Sometimes it happens that one of the secret officials made a mistake and hopes to correct it with using such a method. By reason of all that the Human Right defender, we have already mention that, doesn't have to make any attempts to make all of this out. In any case not in the first turn. In the first turn he has to see a person in front of him whose human-rights are catastrophically violated.

- It is necessary to break up a vicious circle of coercion and lie, on which this dreadful method of slaving people (as all the satanic things) is founded. Do you remember the well known Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsin: "Coercion has nothing to cover himself up apart from falsehood. Falsehood has nothing to rest upon apart from coercion"?
All the situation which has befallen the person is pierced through with two vectors of falsehood which are mutually complementary. Both are supposed to delude the public if the heart of the matter of the person's position suddenly is given publicity. By the plan of the Secret Service which for some its own aims' sake has plunged the person into the chronic poisoning, the people, whom he associates with have by no means to understand that he is poisoned. This is one of two basic conditions of that gas operation - one of two vectors of falsehood.
The second basic conditions lies in the fact that if the prey suddenly starts persuading anyone that he is poisoned he will be declared to be insane. Here is a paired falsehood, covering up this cooling blood coercion which is being surreptitiously performed by Secret Service upon one of the human brothers.

- In order to enlist an official confirmation of the poisoning it is necessary organize a neurologist consultation. This consultation should take place in the presence of the Human-Rights defender. It is very useful for him to hear how all of that is going from the specialist. In addition, the poisoned person, being not quite in condition, can lose sight of something in his relation, to express some of his ideas not quite precisely, etc. In this case the Human-Rights defender who is in the know of everything at this time has to add the person's relation, correct something...
It is necessary to be ready to the situation when the neurologist turns out not to be aware of chronic poisoning with organic phosphates which is very seldom encountered in every day life. (A sharp organic phosphates poisoning is just another matter. It is met rather often, but there are absolutely different symptoms while it). We know the case when a Moscow neurologist (it was she) told her patient candidly that she had nothing to do with any poisonings and had no idea what all his strange symptoms meant. She recommended another neurologist, specialist of poisonings, but next morning meeting her patient in the clinic corridor she came up to him:
- Yesterday I looked into the reference book. You seem to be right. It looks like organic phosphates indeed.
The neurologist recommended by her tuned out to be a real specialist. He named "organic phosphates" at once and to all appearance understood everything because during the visit twice advised the patient to go out of the contacts with PG:
- Just imagine that you will be cleaned... (he meant the cleaning his blood with a system of special filters they practiced in their out-patient department), but they will you again...
He neither named those "they" who could do something with him "again" nor specified what he meant saying "they will you again"... However he looked very significantly while pronouncing that.
He refused to give the person any health certificate (that was an informal visit), rejected money and cognac which the person offered him:
- It is absolutely not necessary to present me with anything. There affair of virtue has been done, and that's it! Let's arrange now to consider that you have never visited me.
However it is necessary to get a health certificate in spite of everything. It is not enough to get one certificate, but minimum two ones. For that the person should officially visit two or three neurologists. There should be a note in the health certificate that the person's symptoms match organic phosphates poisoning. There is no sense to have a reference to a blood test in the health certificate. Because of intelligible reasons this test is sure to be very good always. If it is possible it is advisedly to avoid the blood test generally in order not to obscure the whole picture. The note of the symptomatology is quite enough.
All the health certificates should be copied and hidden at the places of different friends in case of attempt to steal them. In America we knew the man whose health certificates which had been given to him by two independent doctors were stolen from his place. Fortunately, he was lucky to restore the certificates in the doctors' records, though everything could have been the wrong way round.

- It is necessary to knock the psychiatric cudgel out of the Secret Service, which it has prepared for the case of its exposure. With that end of view it is necessary for the person to be examined by independent psychiatrist. This examination also should take place in the presence of the Human-Rights defender. Independent psychiatrists should be told about the poisoning of the person so that they could make the strange symptoms described above out, if they become apparent while the examination.
It is necessary to get let the Secret Service understand that the psychiatric cudgel has two ends, and it's second end can hit the Secret Service itself with great power. For that purpose the Human-Rights defender should tell a couple of times anywhere including by phone (his phone in connection with that story is sure to be overheard) that he is determined to appeal to the International Association of Psychiatrists. As the practice shows this could be very effective. The doctor bearing shoulder-strips secretly would not like to look like Mr. Lunts and Mr. Snezhnevskiy.*

- It is necessary also to visit (of course together with the Human-Rights defender again) a toxicologist. By the way, the Russian language readers, will find out, we think, not without interest that toxicologists in Russia and toxicologists in America are not the same. In Russia a toxicologist is a doctor. He deals with poisoning, and goes in for treating people for the consequences of poisonings. I America a toxicologist is a chemist. He deals with PG, and goes in for searching affecting of different PG upon a human-being's organism. But we are talking about the Russian reality.
In the Soviet Union and in the postsoviet Russia as well toxicologists because of quite comprehensible reason always were a specific cast. However, in the big cities there are a few places where one has possibility to talk to a toxicologist. There are toxicological departments both for in-patients and out-patients in each large hospital. To say the truth these departments are full with patients suffering of sharp poisoning. Chronic poisonings are met rather seldom, but it makes no different. Toxicologists are good experts in the symptoms of chronic poisoning as well.
What would we like to have having visited a toxicologist? On the first hand, as in the case of neurologists, it is necessary to get the confirmation that the person's symptoms match chronic poisoning with organic phosphates. On the second hand (it is the main thing), it is necessary to attain the cleaning the person's blood. This is a procedure (it takes several hours) of passing one's blood through complicated system of anti-chemical filters.
The both tasks become complicated with the fact that the victim is constantly being followed by an efficient group consisting of fellows with typical shoulder bags. They not only put in action the contents of their bags, but also keep their eyes on him so that he could not, God forbid, receive somewhere the confirmation of his being poisoned indeed.
To clarify the last idea I'll relate about one "toxicological Odyssey" which took place several years ago in Moscow.
The prey and his sister (they didn't have a Human-Rights defender unfortunately) arrived to the toxicological clinic for in-patients of the widely known the Skliphosovskogo Institute. They went to the back entrance, poked to the nurse who opened them the door some money into the chink and asked her to call the doctor. The doctor, hearing that someone wanted to talk to him privately, was very favourable (probably, the idea about honorarium came to his mind at once), and the person described his symptoms. However, not willing to prompt anything to the doctor, he didn't tell him that he was aware that he was poisoned. But without any prompting the doctor said at once:
- It is a chronic poisoning. It is organic phosphates. There is nothing frightful! Just go to our out-patient toxicological clinic. They'll test your blood and clean it. In several hours you will be absolutely good.
In several days the person and his sister came to the out-patient toxicological department. They went to the back entrance again, called the doctor. The conversation was short but extremely constructive:
- I am poisoned. I've no idea, where it has been done. They said it is organic phosphates. Could you clean me? Here is a hundred dollars.
The doctor's reaction came immediately:
- Of course, we can. What is the problem? Galochka! (It was the name of one of the trained hospital nurses - V.K.).
He got down to issuing some instructions... But suddenly someone imperiously hailed him from the distant end of the corridor:
- Nikolay Ivanovich!
He left and in three minutes came back, being absolutely another man:
- What kind of poisoning is that?! You don't have any poisoning! Let's take a look at the symptoms while the poisoning with organic phosphates.
He opened the book he had fetched and started numerating.
- Well? Have you had such symptoms?
The victim kept a silence. He really didn't have such symptoms. It was not until in the evening at his place the idea came to his mind that the doctor had numerated the symptoms of sharp poisoning while he had a chronic one. The doctor could not but see that. He juggled with the facts deliberately.
- Well. What about the blood test in this case?
- It is possible.
Farther the events were going in a following way. They took his blood for the test (it was the venous blood), and he came out in the yard (the clinic was located on the first floor). He was pacing to and fro not so far from the entrance, when a man in the hospital uniform came up to him. That was either a doctor or a hospital attendant (the person had not seen him before). Lowering his voice he asked:
- Was it you whose blood has been just taken?
- Yes. It was me.
- There is a computer there.
- ???
Seeing that he was not comprehended, the man clarified:
- There is no anyone there, only the computer.
He told nothing more.
And again the victim didn't understand (his obscured head didn't let him catch that at once) that the doctors, who evidently had understood everything, took pity on him and now were trying to help him to intercept the result the blood test from the Secret Service. He tarried, was taken aback... And in several minutes Nikolay Ivanovich was coming up to him holding triumphantly in his hand some sheet of paper.
- You see! Was it not me who told you! The blood test is normal. You are absolutely healthy!
In several days the person and his sister came to the toxicological clinic for in-patients again, and the same doctor, who had advised the person on his poisoning before, said:
- I've already told you: You have a chronic poisoning with organic phosphates. Will you just go to the out-patient toxicological clinic. They'll test your blood and clean it.
- We have already been there!
- Have you been?!
He left and in a minute was back. His face was changed with fear.
- What a poisoning did you mean? Where have you got such an idea? You don't have any poisoning!
The circuit was closed...

What can Human-Rights defender do under the circumstances like these?
It is very important to be aware that a regular blood test is not enough in order to reveal the presence of organic phosphates in human-being's organism. A regular blood test doesn't show anything like that. It is necessary to take some kind of specific test. It is called "Blood test for "cholesterase" (unfortunately, I am not sure how to write this medical term in a correct way - V.K.)
If the Human-Rights defender represents an official Human-Rights organization, he has to visit toxicologists and, showing his ID, ask them to let him possibility to trace all of the stages of the person's blood test for "cholesterase". If his request is rejected, it will be the ground for further Human-Rights actions. Moreover, it'll become evident that there is something wrong with the person’s blood test.
If the Human-Rights defender doesn't have a corresponding ID, it is necessary to find somehow out the exact location of the computer, which issues the final result of blood test for "cholesterase" and be there without preliminary permission in due time.
Moreover, the Human-Rights defender has to be aware that while the chronic poisoning like that one loses the capacity to assimilate vitamin B-12 form the food. As for the lack of vitamin B-12, it can result in different functional departures from the norm including in one’s behaviour. We are not professionals and not aware, when such departures usually arrive. We also don’t know what intensity the exhausting of vitamin B-12 is going in one's organism with. However, from the moment when one starts feeling the gasiform PG going towards him (one of the signs that the chronic poisoning have been already formed) that exhausting is going with the full speed. Neurologists recommend to begin making injections of vitamin B-12.
Summing up, we would like to repeat: being in such a condition a person is not able to protect himself at all. He needs in the very serious protection!
"Who hath ears to hear, let him hear..."!

PS
While an honest investigaiton (it could be interdepartmental one) I am ready to prove everything described above. It seems to be very important because as far as I know there is at least one person in USA who is being treated with the described method at this time. I can suppose that minimum a couple of persons in Russia are in the same position as well.

Bush in SLC- Protest time!!

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 01:29:53 GMT

President Bush and John McCain were in town today raising money for the McCain campaign.
I attended a "High Road for Human Rights" anti-war rally in protest to the visit. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3354711

(Above are a few of the funny signs I saw there)

It was incredible. So inspiring.

This was the stage where the protest was held. The brunette with the bangs is Kathy Snyder who spoke. Her son was killed in Iraq last year.

Rocky Anderson was there.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_Anderson
I actually spoke with him for a few minutes! he is a wonderful, intelligent, and personable man. It was an honor to meet him in person.

There were three other speakers besides Rocky.

Sicko By Michael Moore

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 01:29:44 GMT

All my life I had wanted to go to America. All my life I had listed it in the top 10 - to visit, to see, to touch, to feel. It didn’t even matter to me which part of America, as long as it was on the coast. When I was growing up, America was something like Mars - as unavailable and undesirable to live in, but still as attractive travel-wise.

I had never admired America the way everybody who likes adventure literature admires Australia. Yet the Indians (the Mohican!) , the treasure hunts, the Scarlett O’Hara story - all of that kept it very high up my wish list.

I had a great time in all four states I visited. I know it was very touristy, yet I wanted it to be touristy to the point of being tacky, so I didn’t mind much. Crabs at Pier 39 in San Francisco, humble gambling in Vegas, a Broadway show in New York (the horses in Central Park unfortunately didn’t happen, too damn cold).

Nice country, I thought, - probably even great for retirement. Until I saw Sicko. Bloody hell! America, being one of the vastest, richest and certainly the loudest countries on the planet cannot provide proper medical care for its citizens.

I know they say we are spoilt here in New Zealand. The more I travel the more I realise how great this country is, and how lucky we are to have the freshest seafood cheaply (relatively, yes) and breathtaking scenery in any given point of the country, and two-day travel time to keep all buggers out. But I still thought America was full of life, very open-minded, very consumer-oriented, yet very demanding and very “you have to have”-oriented.

In New Zealand, where they copied the British system of medical care and social welfare, essentially everything is free. You get free emergency care and the proper follow-up; free maternity care and paid leave up to 6 months; free assistance in giving up smoking; free surgery; free gyms for the obese and so on. The system works very simply: if you are unhappy with the public wait, get an insurance and get operated on in a private way. If you do not want to get the insurance - oh well, the government is here to look after you.

Things are different in America. 1. You have to have insurance. 1A. For that, you have to be insurable. 1B. You have to be able to afford health insurance, as it is quite pricey. 3. You have to be lucky enough not to have your health insurance cancelled, if your health gets worse. 4. You cannot choose your doctor, as you get one allocated. 5. If you do have insurance and things get sour, they must not turn sour enough for your insurance to cover only some of the costs. And there is probably 6, 7, 8 and so on in finest print.

I have no idea how Americans put up with that. With their budgeting, with their military power, with their absolute potential, they get such poor health treatment. I know France is a resourceful country, but look at Cuba! They manage to provide free health care. I imagine Canada can somehow survive by just collecting taxes, not fees. I just feel very grateful that I do not have to live there - despite of all my American dreams. And I will make sure I have a thick travel insurance next time I am over in the States. Because there is no other way.

10 things you should know about John McCain (but probably don't):

1. John McCain voted against establishing a national holiday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now he says his position has "evolved," yet he's continued to oppose key civil rights laws.1

2. According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi."2
3. His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.3

4. McCain opposes a woman's right to choose. He said, "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."4

5. The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.5

6. He's one of the richest people in a Senate filled with millionaires. The Associated Press reports he and his wife own at least eight homes! Yet McCain says the solution to the housing crisis is for people facing foreclosure to get a "second job" and skip their vacations.6

7. Many of McCain's fellow Republican senators say he's too reckless to be commander in chief. One Republican senator said: "The thought of his being president sends a cold chill down my spine. He's erratic. He's hotheaded. He loses his temper and he worries me."7

8. McCain talks a lot about taking on special interests, but his campaign manager and top advisers are actually lobbyists. The government watchdog group Public Citizen says McCain has 59 lobbyists raising money for his campaign, more than any of the other presidential candidates.8

9. McCain has sought closer ties to the extreme religious right in recent years. The pastor McCain calls his "spiritual guide," Rod Parsley, believes America's founding mission is to destroy Islam, which he calls a "false religion." McCain sought the political support of right-wing preacher John Hagee, who believes Hurricane Katrina was God's punishment for gay rights and called the Catholic Church "the Antichrist" and a "false cult."9

10. He positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year.10
John McCain is not who the Washington press corps make him out to be. Please help get the word out—forward this email to your personal network. And if you want us to keep you posted on MoveOn's work to get the truth out about John McCain, sign up here:
