 Defected Ukrainian soldiers socializing with Russian civilians in east of Ukraine.According to Interfax, citing local self-defense activists, some 300 Ukrainian troops agreed to lay down their weapons and “go home” following negotiations in Slavyansk. “We managed to negotiate with them. About 300 military, only some of those who closed around the city decided to lay down their arms and go home,” a self-defense activist was quoted as saying. Conflicting reports are emerging about whether the activists would or would not allow the troops to keep their weapons and APCs. According to Western media journalists present at the scene, the locals would not allow them to take back the APCs surrendered earlier, but the soldiers were allowed to march away with their rifles. The people cheered the troops as they started leaving Slavyansk. Meanwhile, the anti-government activists guarding the armored vehicles have said that they did not “seize” them as the media claimed, and that the troops “switched sides” peacefully. “They were not seized by the self-defense forces. In fact, the Ukrainian troops arrived here flying a Russian flag. In this way, they have taken the side of the people,” a Slavyansk activist told Russia-24 TV. Photos from the scene now show women and children climbing onto the APCs and taking photos with the armed men in camouflage with St. George ribbons. Source           |

 A new study conducted in Australia observed about 1,000 people in public places (sports settings, shopping centers, libraries). It found that Australians (white people) do not like “diversity” and naturally choose to be among other Australians. “Those from the English-speaking white majority group tended to interact predominately with other majority group members [other white people], and were more likely to ‘self-segregate’ in public spaces than those from minority groups,” said lead researcher, Dr. Naomi Priest. “This supports evidence that, generally, the preference of the majority will have a stronger impact on segregation patterns than those of the minority, such as that minority people are likely to be socially isolated or have no contact when majority members self-segregate.” Dr. Priest said the study could be useful to plan out policies that encourage or force races to mingle with each other in public places or events. That’s forced assimilation, and shows that despite all the evidence against them, liberals still want multiculturalism. “The findings of this study highlight important behavioral targets for intervention to reduce racism and provide specific and contextual information regarding interactions within public settings. In particular, targeting public spaces as settings for intergroup contact as well as to promote accessibility and use by those from minority backgrounds,” she said. There have been many studies now that have documented the fact that when an area has many different groups of people they naturally separate, there is one from Ohio, one from Britain, and one from Michigan. A study conducted of over 30,000 US and Canadian citizens found exactly the same results, and the lead researcher of that study also said governments should force assimilate people in the name of “diversity”.

 In the last few days violent racial riots broke out in Tel Aviv, something that has not been mentioned by the Western media. African migrants, mostly Sudanese, marched in the capital of Israel protesting against the government of Netanyahu. The reason for the protest was the demand for refugees to be given asylum in Israel and for the Israelis to stop treating them as second-class human beings. Israeli counter-demonstrators with Israeli national flags screamed “deport all immigrants!” And “leave our country!”. They attacked the African refugees resulting in a string of violent incidents. Police arrested 17 people on charges of vandalism and violent beatings. The counter-demonstrators smashed shop windows employing African immigrants, burned cars with Africans inside and savagely beat the protesters. The Israeli counter-demonstrators were supporting members of the Knesset (Israeli parliament) Miri Regev, who took part in the violence stated that “The Sudanese are a cancer in our body.” This was reported in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz which unlike the US and EU press, reports stories for Jewish consumption.  The African protesters complained about the problem of asylum, blaming the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and Interior Minister Eli Yishai, who have demanded detention and deportation of all refugees and migrants coming from Africa. In a radio interview, the interior minister said that the Sudanese and Eritrean migrants are responsible for rising crime and violence and that they can not condemn someone who avenges the Israeli assault or rape of his daughter by Africans. It was stressed no woman is safe in the evening on the streets of Tel Aviv and this is due to African immigrants. After these events took place in the capital of Israel and in light of the statements by Israeli officials, where is American Jewish Committee leader David Harris? Where is he to protest to the government of Israel and it’s racist violence brought against African immigrants? Also where is the demand for the resignation of Parliament Member Miri Regev and Minister Eli Yishai for their racist statements expressing hatred, loathing and prejudice against black Africans? Obviously we will not see this. Only yet another glaring example of Jewish hypocrisy at it’s best. Source      |

 Italy’s enormous public debt continues to grow at an unrelenting pace. The Bank of Italy announced on Monday that the country’s debt hit a record 2.1072 trillion euros in February, over 17 billion euros up compared to January. Within the 18-nation eurozone, only Greece had accumulated a higher overall debt mountain. Italy’s 2014 budget has been criticized by the European Commission for not doing enough to bring down debt, that stands at over around 130 per cent of the GDP. This year’s budget was passed by ex-premier Enrico Letta. Meanwhile, the new head of government Matteo Renzi has recently unveiled a major package of tax cuts and investments to revive the struggling Italian economy. Italy is a reliable country there is no question, they should not be afraid of us. Last week Prime Minister Renzi’s administration has approved an economic blueprint, also known as DEF – Economic and Financial Document – that aims to balance Italy’s budget in structural terms by 2016, and be in line with the EU rules. However Renzi has failed to provide detail on promised spending cuts. Pundits have also criticized him for using one-off revenues to help finance plans for permanent tax cuts. Source      |

 Helicopters heading to aid 476 passengers and crew aboard a South Korean ferry sinking on its way to Jeju island from Incheon, some 20 kilometres off the island of Byungpoong in Jindo.One person was found dead inside the sinking vessel, while the other died shortly after arriving at the emergency ward, Reuters reported. The ferry was carrying 459 passengers, of whom 164 were rescued, Reuters reported. Earlier reports suggested that 368 people had been rescued and that about 100 were missing, according to the Ministry of Security and Public Administration. However, the initial figure was later revised, as officials said they had miscalculated. There are conflicting reports about the total number of students and teachers on board. According to Reuters, a school official stated that 338 students and teachers were on board, all of whom have been rescued. However, other estimates put the number at anywhere between 110 to 160, pending further confirmation from the Coast Guard. The high school students were on their way to Jeju Island as part of a school trip, according to Yonhap news agency. The South Korea Coast Guard confirmed the vessel’s distress signal at 8:58 a.m. local time on Wednesday. The signal was sent out about 20 kilometers off the island of Byungpoong. Authorities have launched a rescue operation. Vice minister of security and public administration, Lee Gyeong-Og, told the BBC that there are 34 naval, coast guard, and civilian ships taking part in the rescue operation, along with 18 helicopters.  “The ship is taking in water and sinking,” a coast guard spokesman told AFP. “We have coast guard vessels, commercial ships in the area, as well as helicopters all engaged in the rescue operation.” There are reports that the ferry hit a reef during thick fog. YTN live footage shows the vessel almost completely underwater. Rescuers were able to remove 197 passengers from the sinking ferry and take them to a nearby island, according to the Korean Herald. Shortly after the rescue, the rest of the passengers began jumping into the water after being told that the vessel was about to sink.  “Efforts should be made to prevent even one casualty, and a thorough search [of the ship] must be carried out to ensure nobody is left behind,” the Korean Herald quoted South Korea’s President Park Geun-hye as saying. Following the incident, Park ordered all available vessels and special operations divers to help with the rescue, Reuters cited the presidential office as saying. A US Navy vessel has also joined the rescue operation. “We heard a big thumping sound and the boat stopped,” YTN news quoted a passenger as saying. “The boat is tilting and we have to hold on to something to stay seated.” The ferry was reportedly identified as ‘Sewol’ – a vessel that can carry up to 6,800 tons. The ship was said to have departed South Korea’s northwestern town of Incheon around 9 p.m. local time on Tuesday. Source     |
