Legendary Sevastopol
You fly , winged wind
Over seas , above ground .
Tell you everything in the world
About my favorite city .
Everything in the world you narrate ,
As for the Crimean shores
Our grandfathers fought
And in famous battles .
Legendary Sevastopol
Impregnable to enemies
Sevastopol, Sevastopol -
Pride of Russian sailors.
Here to fight , holy and right ,
Went for his homeland
And your former glory
We have multiplied in battle.
Throwing off the black jackets ,
Black Sea Fleet during the war ,
Here at the tanks come with a grenade
Went to their death thy sons .
If overseas
We were enemies will come with a sword ,
We meet uninvited guests
Fire fighter .
Know the whole country dear,
That ships are not asleep
And reliably protect
shores of his native land .
"For all the fearmongering we hear out of our politicians on the right about how heaven forbid we're going to turn into Greece, the one country you never hear them talk about any more is Iceland. The reason they don't is, as Cenk Uygur explained on his show this Tuesday, they took a different path than the United States after their financial crisis and nationalized the banks, threw some the people responsible for the crash in jail and bailed out the homeowners instead of worrying about only bailing out the banks. And now they're coming back and their economy is growing again..."
On March 7, the London Independent headlined "Exclusive: UK banks in row over Yulia Tymoshenko 'millions,' " saying:
"...(N)umerous foreign accounts were set up in (her) name (and) her family."
At least 85 bank accounts "containing millions of pounds were linked to (her) and relatives."
It bears repeating. She's a billionaire mega-thief. She accumulated wealth the old-fashioned way. She stole it.
Lawrence Graham is a UK lawyer. In March 2013, Ukraine's legitimate government enlisted him to investigate Tymoshenko's "allegedly misappropriated" wealth.
He reviewed 278 bank accounts in 26 countries. He learned Tymoshenko or family members "were either beneficiaries or signatories to accounts which included a number of UK banks." http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2014/03/14/meet-obama-s-new-ukrainian-friends
Gold expert Jim Sinclair is issuing a warning of a massive downside risk to U.S. sanctions against Russia. Sinclair says watch the "struggling dollar" and Russia accepting any currency for oil and natural gas. Sinclair explains, "It's struggling . . . because it smells the real teeth of retaliation for sanctions being in the simple acceptance of any currency whatsoever for payment for gas to Europe. Believe me, they will settle in other currencies. . . . It makes energy cheaper. Why in the world would anyone want to pay in dollars if they can pay in their own currency? Russia could retaliate in a way that would have phenomenal impact on the U.S. dollar. . . . Russia has the upper hand. They have it in their ability to turn the U.S. economy upside down and into collapse. There is no question whatsoever. Putin doesn't need a nuclear bomb. He has a nuclear economic bomb that he can set off at any time."

The cofounder of CODEPINK, the Women for Peace organization, Medea Benjamin, was detained against her will on Monday, March 3rd, at the Cairo, Egypt airport. She wasn’t permitted to enter the country even though all her papers were in order. Ms. Benjamin was trying to make her way to Gaza to celebrate on March 8th, “International Women’s Day,” with a delegation of 100 women from around the world, and to also mark a day of solidarity with the women/peoples of Gaza.
Instead of being permitted to travel to Gaza, she was first put into a holding area and later tossed into a cell. She spent a night in the cell with other female prisoners. Eventually, she was able to make contact with the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. But, before they could make it to the airport to assist her, five plain-clothed Egyptian security personnel came into jail, assaulted and injured her, put her in handcuffs, and forced her onto a plane headed to Istanbul, Turkey.
As a result of the abusive and harsh treatment by the Egyptians, the 61-years old, “a very petite” activist, sustained serious and painful injuries to her left shoulder. When she was on the airplane heading to Turkey, a doctor, fortunately, was able to treat her injuries. He put her left arm back into its socket and gave her medicine to relieve her intense pain. This interview took place at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on Friday afternoon, March 7th. Here is Medea Benjamin’s account of her traumatic ordeal in her own words. Keep in mind, the current Egyptian regime receives $1.5 billion in annual aid from the U.S. taxpayers.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is holding its annual confab at the Washington Convention Center. (http://www.aipac.org) Its stated mission is to “promote U.S. Israel relations.” On Sunday, March 2, 2014, it was confronted by spirited activists protesting outside the convention hall. They were led by CODEPINK, a national women organization that stands for “Peace and Social Justice.” (http://www.codepink4peace.org).
A strong Palestinian-American contingent was also present at the demonstration. CODEPINK is protesting for “Palestinian rights and no war with Iran.” (Check out: Human Rights Watch, at: https://www.hrw.org/middle-eastn-africa/israel-palestine. Earlier this week, CODEPINK/and or one of its allies, released a video mocking AIPAC. It was posted on You Tube, but it was later “taken down!” Supposedly, it is up again. See: http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/03/01/352840/parody-video-reflects-aipacs-intentions/
Speaking on camera on this video is Medea Benjamin-co founder of CODEPINK. She is leaving tonight with a delegation of women to Gaza, via Egypt. I asked a number of the AIPAC delegates at the demonstration, if they wanted to speak on camera, but they all declined. One of them told me off-line: “What’s the point? You see how small this protest is.”
