Yeah, I just read that not long ago. What is very worrying is that the aforementioned article also ties in with the following one -

www.telegraph.co.uk...

Russia 'distributing passports in the Crimea'

Ukraine is investigating claims that Russia has been distributing passports in the port of Sevastopol, raising fears that the Kremlin could be stoking separatist sentiment in the Crimea as a prelude to possible military intervention.

The allegation has prompted accusations that Russia is using the same tactics employed in the Georgian breakaway regions of Abhkazia and South Ossetia in order to create a pretext for a war.

Russia handed out passports to the residents of the two provinces, which have long looked to Moscow for support, five years ago. The Kremlin has justified its invasion of Georgia in terms of defending its citizens in Abkhazia and South Ossetia from Georgian "aggression".

Tensions between Moscow and Kiev have grown in recent days after Viktor Yushchenko, Ukraine's pro-western president, imposed restrictions on Russian ships entering the Black Sea Fleet's base in Sevastopol.

Ukraine further infuriated the Kremlin last week by offering Europe and the United States access to its missile warning systems.


this does look worrisome, and the Georgian operation may have been the starting point of a new change in foreign policy by Russia.

Who is spearheading this? Putin from behind the scenes or is it Medvedev?

If it is Putin, then why has he waited till he was out of power (publicly) to start this new change in policy?

Ukraine is no Georgia, they have a significant army and weapons and will put up much more of a fight than Georgia ever will.

I think Russia may try and stir anti western sentiment in Eastern Ukraine which has a high number of Russian supporters compared to Western Ukraine, possibly fueling civil conflict of some sort as a pretext to possibly anexxing Crimea for itself and retaking the Black Sea port of Sevastopol.

Getting unglier by the day.

Don't forget their hands on the gas taps to a lot of Europe. That's a BIG bargaining chip which has been used already.
So, with or without nukes, Russia has a very big economic stick to wave about.
Military might does not always provide the most effective bargaining power.

yes, you are right about the energy bit, they can manipulate EU quite a bit with this. Europe would have to be energy-independent first - but this is hard as the main national energy companies across EU are absorbed by the Russians or at least depend on Russians.. another wake up call for renewable or alternative energies

Nice links, they were well needed.

You Americans don't know how lucky you are to have Alex Jones.

He lends a strong voice to your Constitution and speaks truth to power.

He is the constant target of US government psy-ops and disinfo campaigns yet he will not back down.

Alex Jones; A True American Hero....

Regardless of what the disinfo agents will say, and they will say all sorts of nonsense - they often start threads and repetitive posts which often abnormally persist

as a means to prevent new people from tuning in to Alex Jones. Such tactics cause a psychological association between Mr. Jones and the disinfo messages (ie. Alex Jones CIA Connection) they wish to implant into your psyche.

This will cause you to be dismissive of the things Alex Jones says - even though he backs up everything with documentation and tells you where to find the files/documents for yourselves. Even though he only reports on things that are made public or declassified, the Mene (disinfo) will be stuck in the back of your mind and that particular truth will not have as much weight as it should have.

Your primitive subconscious will suspect that Alex may be lying, now that it has been implanted with disinfo - this is especially true for those who are just finding out about Alex Jones and can even cause them to turn away from him entirely.

This is why subliminal and disinfo tactics are considered illegal and unconstitutional... People have a right to live without having their minds molested with Government lies and psy-op tactics.

Those participating in the suppression of the constitution ( by disseminating disinfo) are just creating more evidence to be used against them when the War Crimes Trials are held...

I wish we had an Alex Jones in Canada.
