Russia's Missing Article: Censorship, Prudence, Or A Win For Moscow's Troll Army? by noreply@rferl.org (Mark Krutov)
Friday April 10th, 2015 at 12:23 AM

A newspaper in the Russian region of Buryatia excised an article about a local soldier who was allegedly severely injured while fighting for the separatists in eastern Ukraine. Is it a case of heavy-handed censorship or was it an example of the successful functioning of the Kremlin's notorious "troll army"?

U.S. Cannot Be Trusted, Iran’s Supreme Leader Saysby conalurquhart
Friday April 10th, 2015 at 12:21 AM

TIME

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatullah Khamenei warned Iranian diplomats on Thursday not to trust the United States as they try to finalize the nuclear agreement that was reached in Lausanne,Switzerland last week.

In his first speech since the agreement, Khamenei said: “I have told the officials to not trust the opposing side, to not be fooled by their smiles, to not trust their promises because when they have achieved their objectives they will laugh at you…. After every round of talks they make public comments that they then tell us in private was meant to save face in their own country and to counter their opponents, but this is their own problem and has nothing to do with us.”

Khamenei said that he would support an agreement that “upholds the interests and honor of the [Iranian] nation,” but would prefer no deal to one that endangers those interests. Stressing his belief that the U.S. cannot be trusted, he said he had serious concerns. “Everything is in the details. It is possible that the deceitful opposing side might try to restrain our nation in the details,” he said.

Iran and the U.S., Russia, China, U.K, France and Germany agreed on a framework deal last Thursday although Khamenei singled out the U.S. in his comments. The deal is supposed to limit Iran’s ability to make a nuclear bomb but allow it to develop nuclear energy. In return, Iran will be allowed to access bank accounts, oil markets and financial assets that have been closed to it by international sanctions.

The deal says that sanctions will be lifted once international monitors have verified that Iran is abiding by its commitments under the deal.

Khamenei’s comments came the same day as President Hassan Rouhani demanded that all sanctions on Iran be lifted immediately when the deal is concluded. “We will not sign any agreement, unless all economic sanctions are totally lifted on the first day of the implementation of the deal,” he said.

The Ayatullah insisted that international inspectors would not be allowed to enter military areas nor would Iran be subject to any regime that was not applicable to other countries. He also warned that the three-month timetable could be extended. “They might say that we only have three months to reach a deal, well if three months becomes four months the sky won’t come falling down,” he said.

Though many Iranian officials, from the President to the head of the Revolution Guard have issued messages in support of the Lausanne agreement, Khamenei insisted no binding agreement has been reached, “What’s been done until now neither guarantees an agreement, nor that talks will even reach a conclusion,” he said.

While some observers had hailed the Lausanne talks as an opening between Iran and the U.S., Khamenei said: “All should know that we have nothing to negotiate with America on regional and international issues. However the nuclear negotiations will be an experience. If the other side refrains from its usual improper actions this will become an experience that we can negotiate on other issues, but if we see that once again they act improperly, our distrust of America will be only strengthened.”

Khamenei also singled out Saudi Arabia for criticism for its attacks in Yemen. “We have always had numerous differences with Saudi Arabia but until recently they always acted with dignity in foreign policy. Now a few inexperienced youth have taken over the affairs of the state and are replacing dignity with barbarity,” he said.

This week Iran sent warships to support Houthi rebels in Yemen who Saudi Arabia has been bombing. “But I warn them that this behavior will not be tolerated in the region and they must cease their crimes in Yemen. The Saudis have created a dangerous precedent in the region, they will be harmed and incur losses in this issue in which they will under no circumstances triumph. The Saudis’ face will be rubbed in the ground in Yemen,” Khamenei said.

Putin Orders Millions Of Troops To High Alert After US Hypercraft “Attack” by The European Union Times
Thursday April 9th, 2015 at 11:01 PM

The European Union Times - World News, Breaking News

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) in an “urgent action bulletin” published today states that President Putin has ordered over 3 million regular and reserve military forces to their highest alert status, and further ordered the defense-industrial complex to immediately and drastically increase the production of missiles manufactured for air defense and missile defense complexes by 200%, over fears relating to what the MoD calls “unprovoked” attacks upon the Federation by an advanced United States “hypercraft” (interdimensional/space) weapon.

Due to the unprecedented scale of this vast military order, this bulletin says, President Putin earlier today, also, publically warned the Federation citizens by stating: “This year’s forthcoming large-scale checks will encompass all military districts and types of troops.”

Necessitating the urgent need of this historic military action, the MoD says, was an “appearance” over the Federation-protected nation of the Republic of Kazakhstan this past week of an advanced US “hypercraft”, which was captured on video, and deemed by the Kremlin to be an “unprovoked attack”.

Important to note, this MoD bulletin continues, was this past weeks US attack was the second such “incident” of its kind in the past six months, the first being when one of these “hypercrafts” appeared over Yekaterinburg in the Sverdlovsk Oblast on 14 November 2014, and which was then immediately destroyed in a massive counter missile attack which resulted in a near cataclysmic explosion.

MoD experts in this bulletin note that the first recorded “appearance” of this US “hypercraft” weapon was on 17 October 2013 as it was conducting aerial maneuvers near MacDill Air Force Base(MDAFB) in central Florida and alarmed many citizens of this area, many of whom took photographs of its telltale “black smoke ring” vortex contrail.

The second recorded “appearance” of this US “hypercraft” weapon, these MoD experts state, was on 13 April 2014 in the skies over Royal Leamington Spa, in the United Kingdom, near the highly secretive US Air Force space communication base at RAF Barford St John where, like the previous year in Florida, its telltale “black smoke ring” vortex contrail was left hanging visibly in the sky.

Enabling the 14 November 2014 shootdown by Federation defense forces of one of these US “hypercraft” weapons over Yekaterinburg, this MoD bulletin explains, was due to the uncovering by MoD scientists of the “supercavitation” propulsion system it uses based upon what is commonly referred to as the “toroidal vortex effect”…which, most simply put, allows a space vehicle to, literally, “swim through the sky”, and, perhaps, interdimensionaly too.

And to how exactly close the Federation-US are to war, this MoD bulletin grimly points out, the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has also reported that their EMP attack against Washington D.C.on Tuesday, which crippled many American government buildings, including the White House, was a “successful retaliation” for a similar EMP attack by the US upon Federation computer servers on 16 March located in Stavropol, in the Stavropol Krai Federal District, and which was captured on video.

Though not mentioned in this report, it is interesting to note that immediately following the SVR’s EMP attack Washington D.C., the US military command that scans North America’s skies for enemy missiles and aircraft announced its plans to move its communications gear to its Cold War-era mountain bunker Cheyenne Mountain base in Colorado designed to safeguard their command’s sensitive sensors and servers from a potential electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack.
