Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko
The chorus of allegations about a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has President Poroshenko calling for an emergency meeting of the country’s security and defense council, while the Prime Minister Yatsenyuk is calling for a Russian asset freeze.
“I have made a decision to cancel my working visit to the Republic of Turkey due to sharp aggravation of the situation in Donetsk region, particularly in Amvrosiivka and Starobeshevo, as Russian troops were brought into Ukraine,” Petro Poroshenko said in a statement on his website.
The Russian representative to the OSCE Andrey Kelin has given a firm response to the allegations, saying that “We have said that no Russian involvement has been spotted, there are no soldiers or equipment.”
“Accusations relating to convoys of armored personnel carriers have been heard during the past week and the week before that,” he said. “All of them were proven false back then, and is being proven false again now.”
“There is no sense in these accusations,” he said.
Yet, Ukraine is going to call for a meeting of the UN Security Council, said Poroshenko.
“The world must provide assessment of sharp aggravation of the situation in Ukraine,” he added.
Poroshenko added that on Thursday there will be a meeting of Security and Defense Council to elaborate the plan for further action.
“The President must stay in Kyiv today,” he said.
As with previous allegations of smuggled troops, equipment and other underhand tactics, no evidence has been offered.
Given the confusion arising out of the recent capture of alleged Russian paratroopers and the subsequent videos with interviews released by the Ukrainians, the government is going to the US, EU and the G7 to ask for a freeze on Russian assets.
The Western media has been exploding with allegations, with everyone from the CNN to the New York Times going about the task in a very similar manner: quoting Ukrainian politicians, as well as US figures, the ambassador to Ukraine and the State Department. One similarity could be spotted: they all centered on passionate statements, no evidence, and were followed by a big background into things that took place over the past week.
Whenever there was any mention of someone actually seeing Russian tanks, it seemed a mobile phone was never on hand to take a photograph.
Meanwhile, the OSCE has announced that it’s calling an emergency meeting in Vienna – for the second time in August – giving no further details.
When the head of its Ukraine mission, Paul Picard, was asked if the monitoring team saw any evidence of Russia crossing the border with troops and tanks, the answer was “no.” He told journalists of round-the-clock surveillance by a team of 16 people. The team said “we are hearing shooting, but it’s difficult to tell just how far.”
This didn’t stop the Ukrainian government from alleging that the border town of Novoazovsky in the south-east has fallen under Russian control – a mix of troops and members of the eastern-Ukrainian uprising.
“We only know that the mayor of Novoazovsk said that after 10 rounds of artillery were heard, the Ukrainian soldiers retreated from the city, and the self-defense forces entered,” Kelin said.
He added that “the Ukrainian ambassador has offered no claims to counter this information.”

Australia’s national carrier Qantas has posted an annual net loss of 2.6 billion dollars last year.
The airliner on Thursday posted the full-year net loss of 2.64 billion US dollars in 2013-2014 in its worst performance. The figure is much worse than expectations as analysts initially predicted the company to report an underlying pre-tax loss of about 700 million dollars.
Qantas’s international division reportedly made a loss of 465 million dollars, more than double that of a year ago. The company attributed the loss to a restructuring program costing almost 2 billion dollars, and a 2.6-billion-dollar write-down of its fleet of Boeing jets. The airline also said increased competition, record fuel costs and subdued consumer spending were partially to blame.
The Australian Services Union (ASU), however, blamed Qantas’s management for the demise of the airline, which was once one of the world’s most profitable.
“We think that the board and senior management of Qantas needs to take responsibility for the result,” ASU vice president Ingrid Stitt said.
The huge net loss comes after Qantas announced cutting 5,000 jobs from its 32,000-strong workforce during the first quarter of this year as part of a tough restructuring move.
Following a profit warning in December last year, credit rating agencies, Moody’s and S&P, both downgraded Qantas’ credit rating to junk status. The struggling airline has since been working on its finances to convince Canberra it deserves a debt guarantee.

From Left to Right: Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko, US Secretary of State John Kerry and Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. Everyone in this photo is Jewish, just a coincidence!
“A blue-ribbon team of scholars from leading research institutions and museums has just issued a secret report to the government, acknowledging that European Jews are in fact Khazars.”, writes Jim Wald on The Times of Israel website. Jim Wald claims Jews have a plan to reform Khazaria (Chazerai in Yiddish) in Ukraine by sending Ashkenazi settlers there.
Texe Marrs seems to take it at face value in his article titled The Serpent People Return to Ukraine. The following question has to be raised though: what if the Khazar origin theory for Ashkenazis is actually disinfo? A Mossad hoax to divert attention away from the real nasty stuff perpetrated by Zionists.
The admission by the Israelis that the Jews are not related to ancient Israel but to Khazaria was reported in The Times of Israel as a Leaked Report: Israel Acknowledges Jews in fact Khazars; Secret Plan for Reverse Migration to Ukraine, March 18, 2014). That article, by Professor Jim Wald, related that the Israeli leadership in Jerusalem is sending military equipment and settlers from Israel to Ukraine.
They have taken charge of that ravaged country’s government and finances and intend eventually to make the Ukraine a “second homeland”. As a huge proof for this report, even though Ukraine’s total Jewish population is currently at only 0.2%, Ukraine’s new President Petro Poroshenko, is Jewish and so is Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. However with all that said, the international media, including the Russian media, are mostly focusing their attention on how how “evil neo-nazi Right Sector rule in Ukraine”. The truth is that the neo-nazis in Ukraine are only used a diversion tactic from the real deal and from who is really in charge in Ukraine.
Their plan, leaked by governmental insiders, came only after Netanyahu and his cabinet reviewed growing DNA genetic evidence that the Jews are not the descendants of Abraham. Instead, they came from Khazaria, of which Kiev, Ukraine is the centerpiece. In fact, the Jews of Israel and the U.S. are of Ukrainian heritage. Ukraine is in the heartland of Khazaria.
No doubt the Zionists have wrapped their greedy fingers around Ukraine, but does it really have anything to do with their Khazar past?
Keep your eyes open for lies, not in hatred or fear, but curiosity and love of truth. Remember that there are Jews doing that too.

A Chinese man has admitted to illegally taking a laptop belonging to a US government-owned nuclear weapons research facility to China.
A Chinese immigrant to the US has admitted to illegally taking a laptop belonging to a US government-owned nuclear weapons research facility to China.
Jianyu Huang, a former scientist who had been employed at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico, made the admission on Monday.
The US Attorney for New Mexico has said in a statement that he pleaded guilty to interstate transportation of a government-owned computer and computer-related media.
Huang was also charged with falsely stating that he did not intend to take US government equipment with him on a trip to China.
The 46-year-old will be sentenced to only 1 year and 1 day in federal prison followed by a term of supervised release.
He was arrested in June 2012 on a six-count indictment, including charges that he misused federal government resources and equipment to conduct research for Chinese research institutions.
Jianyu is originally from the People’s Republic of China but is now a naturalized US citizen living in New Mexico.

Ukrainian soldiers in a tent camp in Rostov Region
A group of 62 Ukrainian troops have crossed into Russia’s Rostov Region seeking shelter to save their lives amid an intensified counteroffensive recently launched by anti-Kiev militia in southeastern Ukraine.
“Today, 62 servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces turned to Russian border guards asking to let them into the Russian territory near Russia’s settlement of Shramko, Matveyevo-Kurgansky district, with the aim to save their lives,” the spokesman for the FSB’s border guard office in the Rostov Region, Nikolai Sinitsyn, told Itar-Tass news agency on Wednesday.
They were allowed to cross and provided with a transit corridor on the principles of humanism, but only after they left their weapons on the Ukrainian side of the border, Sinitsyn added.
This case became the latest in a series of similar incidents where a total of over 500 Ukrainian troops crossed into Russia since July seeking refuge and medical help.
Earlier this week, Ukraine released videos showing alleged Russian paratroopers captured on Ukrainian territory. Russian Defense Ministry sources were saying that they probably crossed the border by mistake during a routine patrol of an area which wasn’t manned. President Putin, when asked about the issue said he hoped it won’t be blown out of proportion, since Ukrainian troops regularly cross into Russian territory, sometimes in armored vehicles and were never charged with anything and always allowed to return to Ukraine freely.
Kiev’s renewed accusations of Russian military’s alleged operations on Ukrainian territory are “nothing new,” says Kremlin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov, adding that Russia regularly refutes such reports. Meanwhile Kiev says it has launched a preliminary investigation into the detained men on suspicion of “aiding terrorist groups.”
Ukraine’s own troops in the meantime are also facing prosecution, with General Prosecutor’s office announcing on Wednesday that 1,083 criminal proceeding had been launched since the beginning of the so-called anti-terrorist operation, with people being charged for “disobedience, unauthorized abandonment of a military unit or place of service, desertion, evasion of military service in another way, and so on.”
Anti-Kiev militia in the meantime announced that almost 90 Ukrainian troops laid down their arms and surrendered on Wednesday alone, following at least 129 the day before, Ria reports.
On Sunday, the main headquarters of the Donetsk People’s Republic announced that it had launched a counteroffensive against Kiev’s “punitive forces” in the region, blocking and surrounding many of the military and paramilitary units.
The military equipment captured from local army depots and those forces surrendering en masse has allowed militia to form 2 tank battalions, 3 multiple launcher rocket system batteries, 2 self-propelled howitzer batteries, 3 cannon battalions of various calibers and 8 mortar batteries, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Donetsk People’s Republic Aleksander Zakharchenko told the press at the time.

The DPR army will no more act in small groups as instead full-bodied independent military units had been formed, he added, announcing the beginning of a major counter-offensive but at the same time calling on Ukrainian troops to surrender and leave the territory of the republic, promising absolute safety for everyone not involved in war crimes against the civilian population.
Ukraine has been engulfed in a violent internal conflict since April, when Kiev’s military began its crackdown on the southeast parts of the country which refused to recognize the coup-installed government.
According to United Nations’ estimates released Tuesday, over 2,249 people have so far been killed and over 6,033 wounded in the fighting in eastern Ukraine. The number of internally displaced Ukrainians has reached 190,000, with another 207,000 finding refuge in Russia, the UN said.
