Belarus to Abolish Most Benefits
Belarus
is to abolish most of benefits for the disabled, veterans etc. and to
pay a sum
of money to tall instead. This is the same thing that President Putin
did in
Russia a couple of years ago.
That
in really means that no free prescriptions, free house repairs for
veterans, no
50% reduction in transport costs for all the school children/students
and also
the disabled children, no more free prescriptions for children under 3
years
old, plus many other much- needed services. This will of course
affect
all those that became disabled because of the Chernobyl disaster.
The
Byelorussian Government blames the economic difficulties and lack of
help from
outside Belarus. But critics point out that Belarus received a very large sum from Russia and also the
agreements
that were signed with Venezuela.
COMMENT:
We shall try to find out what is really behind this news item.
According to the UN
Economic Commission figures, the
official poverty line in Russia is 3,800 rubles per month – which is
only
$146.00 per month! But most elder and veterans must live on much less
than
this.
But the
poverty level (needed to buy a
minimum basket of goods) is now higher by over 7%, but for the
pensioners it is now 13% higher.
But the
people see daily over the Russian
media the absolute glorification of Czar Putin and his team – stating
that they
are making Russia very prosperous!
This Is Right from the Horse’s Mouth!
Gorbachev said
the
following at the U.S. Kansas City University lately – we just quote
this
important admission, without any need for comments on our part.
“Towards
the end of 1986 we began to start
the reforms, replacing the system (socialist) and we starred
step-by–step
approach of reforming the Soviet society, moving gradually towards
freedom and
democracy and capitalist market economics.”
West’s Double Standard Reporting
We print two direct quotes from Western media.
“Georgian leader wins presidential election”. This statement was broadcast to the world even before any results were known.
After the election was over, this is the statement given out by a Georgian political analyst, Temur Lakobashvili who was also a pollster there.
“This election was not ideal of course, but it was better than previous elections here. All previous elections in Georgia since the fall of the Soviet Union in Georgia were absolutely fraudulent and very one sided.”
Priceless! So eve their own spokesman actually admitted that Saakashvili’s victory “with more than 96% votes cast” was fraudulent. Why did they not say so after he was elected?
A document that became law and leaked to the press was signed by George Bush on October 16, 2004 and does not get any media play at all, for obvious reasons now in the USA. The law is tabled under the heading of “Global anti-Semitism Review Act”. Under this Act there was established a Special Division in Washington for reviewing acts of anti-Semitism worldwide and preparing annual reports about them to the US Congress. Here are just some of ideas or actions that the US government considers to be anti-Semitic:
The above are just some laws adopted by Washington and there is absolutely no need to comment on this outrageous document that is law now.
