Is This the Start of a New Cold War?

With Russia claiming sovereignty over the Arctic Ocean Floor and taking further steps to put its mark there, the Chairman of the Russian Federation Council National Monopolies Committee stated to the Russian press that: “The Arctic Region had always belonged to us and that status was affirmed by the International Convention already in the 1920’s. The Mendelev’s table shows that this Arctic Shelf and the islands around it belongs to Russia by International Law.”

Of course the struggle is for the mineral resources that are contained there, such as huge deposits of oil and gas.

Russia had sent an expeditionary team there and had planted a Russian flag on the Arctic Ocean floor.

Immediately after that, Canada started to rattle the sword and is planning a military base near there, and also lately, Sweden says that it is also their territory. Who will be next to claim this North Pole Ocean Floor?

Maybe the next claim will be from China, Japan, Norway or Finland!

Byelorussia and Poland At Odds

From Interfax

The Byelorussian Committee of State Security commented on the incident that took place on the border on August 15th, when a group of Polish politicians were not allowed entrance to visit Byelorussia. The Byelorussian Security Agency stated that the Poles knew of their persona non grata status, but they however deliberately caused a scandal in order to raise the popularity of their political parties before the Polish elections.

As they were advised earlier, they will not be allowed to cross into Byelorussia – such as the Vice Chairman of the Polish Parliament, Kishishtof Puter and others of the political parties “Correctness and Justice” as well as the “Citizen’s Platform”. All of them were heading into Byelorussia at the invitation of he anti-Lukashenko organization, the “Union of Poles of Byelorussia” which was organized from abroad – to celebrate the “Day of Polish Military Forcers.”

President Lukashenko has placed Poland on the list of countries of the region that are fully operating in the interests of the United States and that aim is to destabilize the conditions in Byelorussia.

In June of this year a Polish Catholic priest was told to leave the country after he was organizing anti-state demonstrations and threatening national security.

In July of this year the Byelorussian National Security Agency discovered and arrested a group of Polish spies that were trying to obtain military secrets regarding  the Byelorussian-Russian joint defence systems and were to pass it on to a foreign power.


Communists of Ukraine Opened Up Museum of Victims of US Imperialism

By RIA-NOVOSTI

The Museum was opened up in Crimea, dedicated to victims of US Imperialism. The Communist Party member Leonid Grach said that this Museum in Crimea will be built in the predominately Russian speaking population region.

This Museum will depict the massacres of Native Indians in America and continuing until the present Imperialist wars of occupation all over the world. This Museum is to counteract the monument erected in Washington last July 12th dedicated to the “Victims of Communism”. At this unveiling, President Bush compared Communists to terrorists and blamed the socialist ideology on the deaths of 100 million of innocent people.

Bush made this statement at this unveiling: “Like all Communists, the terrorists and radicals who attacked our nation, are followers of a murderous ideology that despises freedom, crushes all dissent, has expansionist ambitions and pursues totalitarian aims.”

COMMENT:

After this diatribe by Bush, how come that there was no official rebuff statement by the present Putin government? Sorry, President Putin was too busy shaking Bush’s hand and embracing Condoleezza when they met in Washington. Diplomacy has its place of course, but, what happened to the truth? Or has President Putin agreed that Soviet Communists killed 100 million?


Gorbachev Was the Second Coming of Judas

As time of this traitor’s actions recedes into the murky waters of deception, more and more stories are coming out as to who Gorbachev really was, who he is now and, who is and will be supporting his high-life style until he dies.

It is alleged that he is being supported now by funds given from some of the US Multinational Corporations, secret CIA Funds assigned for that purpose, plus his commercial interests and offshore bank accounts.

This we all know now as more and more details are coming out now – such as who got paid $$$ for some of the important archives of the CC CPSU that are now in the Hoover Museum in Washington? Why is Gorbachev on one hand criticizing the traitorous policies of Putin and on the other hand praising him to high heavens?

But it was found out lately from the Russian press that somehow proves the old adage that “ An apple does not fall out of a pear tree!”

General Vlasov, Soviet traitor in whose army Gorbachev's father served; Vlasov was shot as a war criminal.

Gorbachev’s father was a member and supporter of General Vlasov Army that fought on the side of German Nazis against the Soviet Red Army and, did such atrocities against their own people that sometimes surpassed even those of the German SS troops.

This General Vlasov was captured, by the Soviet Red Army, tried and executed as a traitor by the Soviet High Tribunal Court. This death sentence was totally approved by the Nuremburg War Crimes Tribunal that tried the Nazi war criminals.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev in all of his speeches all over the world, and as a darling of Imperialism, always bragged to the world media that his role was always to abolish Socialism and the USSR. His wife made the same statements before she died.
