 April 16, 2015. Russian President Vladimir Putin, center, answers questions from the public during the annual Direct Line with Vladimir Putin special broadcast live on Russian television and radio. Left: Kirill Kleimenov, head of the Channel One News Directorate. Right: Rossiya TV journalist Maria Sittel.“The most important thing for reestablishing normal relations is respect for Russia and respect for its interests,” the Russian leader said on Thursday, answering a question about the conditions under which relations between Russia and the West might improve. He added that in his view, the United States did not need allies, only vassals, but Russia could never agree to such one-sided cooperation. “It was not us who spoiled the relations, we have always stood for normal relations with all nations, both in the East and in the West,” Putin said. “Everyone must understand this. Moscow is always open for cooperation.” “We are ready for cooperation and will engage in it, despite the position of some leaders of certain countries. We will cooperate with those who want to work with us,” he added. The president also reminded the audience about the international situation in the early 1990s, saying that every time Russia attempted to tell the world that it had its own interests it always encountered a harsh reaction. “Remember how the West applauded Boris Yeltsin. But as soon as he voiced Russia’s position on Yugoslavia they unleashed the dogs on him. I would not even repeat the expressions that were used.” At the same time, Putin said the Soviet Union made a mistake when it tried to impose its own political and economic system on Eastern Europe in the second half of the 20th century. “After the Second World War we tried to force our model of development on many Eastern European countries, and we did it by force. We must acknowledge this. There is nothing good in it and we can still feel the negative consequences,” he said. “But Americans are behaving approximately the same today as they try to impose their model practically all over the world. They will also fail,” the president noted. Putin also said that Russia had no enemies in the world, except for international terrorism and organized crime. “We consider no one our enemy, I mean, among the international community. But also we do not recommend anyone to consider us their enemy.” At the same time he noted that Russia was a great nation with a nuclear potential comparable with the US and this made it “equally glorious” to be Russia’s friend or Russia’s enemy. The Thursday Q&A marathon was the 13th such event hosted by Putin. More than 3 million people sent in questions, which ranged from international politics to social programs inside Russia.

 If you are a Bible-believing Christian, there is no place for you in Barack Obama’s version of the U.S. military. Christian service members all over the nation are being disciplined for reading their Bibles, talking about their faith publicly and encouraging others to live a moral lifestyle. And just saying the name of “Jesus” at the wrong place or the wrong time while serving in the military is enough to spark a national controversy. We live at a time when political correctness in America is wildly out of control, and thanks to Obama the U.S. military has become one of the most politically correct institutions in our society. Things have gotten so bad that dozens of top officers that did not agree with Obama’s views have been forced out of the military in recent years. The U.S. military is being transformed into an overtly anti-Christian institution, and for those of us that are Christians that is a very chilling development. Perhaps you think that the title of this article is a bit of an exaggeration. Perhaps you think that there is no way things could have gotten that bad. Well, I grew up as a military kid. In those days, the U.S. military was actually quite welcoming to Christians. But now things have completely and totally changed. For example, just the other day the Washington Times reported that large numbers of Christians are either leaving the military or never joining in the first place because of the “hostile work environment” that currently exists… Christians are leaving the U.S. military or are discouraged from joining in the first place because of a “hostile work environment” that doesn’t let them express their beliefs openly, religious freedom advocates say. Michael Berry, senior counsel at the Liberty Institute, a Texas-based legal organization dedicated to defending religious liberty in America, said recent high-profile cases of military chaplains facing punishment for private counseling sessions that reflected the teachings of their religion could cause devout Americans who are qualified for military service to think twice about joining the military. Could this be what Barack Obama wants? Could it be possible that he actually wants to discourage young Bible-believing Christians from serving our country? Because according to the Times, that is exactly what is happening… “People of faith are going to stay away from the military,” said Mr. Berry in an interview with The Washington Times. “I can’t tell you how many moms and dads I’ve spoken to who say, ‘My son or daughter wants to join the military, [but] in light of what you’ve described, I’m not sure I want to let them join the military anymore,’ and I don’t blame them. I would have serious reservations about my own kids joining,” Mr. Berry said. If you are in the military today, you have got to be so careful about any expression of faith. Even the slightest slip up can cause the authorities to crack down on you. Just consider the following two examples which come from Newsmax… In December, a chaplain for a Ranger training battalion was sent an administrative letter of concern after a soldier complained that he had promoted Christianity and used a Bible during a mandatory suicide-prevention training session. Last month, a Navy chaplain was removed from his job and may lose his career after complaints about his private counseling during which he discouraged homosexuality and sex outside of marriage. You mean a Christian chaplain actually “used a Bible” and “promoted Christianity”? In the old days, doing those things was the very essence of what being a chaplain was all about. How in the world are you supposed to be a chaplain without “using the Bible”? It doesn’t make any sense. Like I said, the U.S. military is becoming an overtly anti-Christian institution, and it starts at the very top. Since he has been in the White House, Barack Obama has consistently slammed Bible-believing Christians. Obviously he considers them to be among his chief political enemies, and he barely tries to hide his animosity for them. We saw another example of this just recently… Consider what Obama – who is on record saying “we are no longer a Christian nation,” and who never notes the Islamic identity of murderers or the Christian identity of their victims, and who ignored a recent UN session on Christian persecution – had to say about Christians at the Easter Prayer Breakfast: “On Easter, I do reflect on the fact that as a Christian, I am supposed to love. And I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less than loving expressions by Christians, I get concerned.” One of the key people that the Obama administration has brought in to advise the Pentagon on matters of faith and the military is a man named Mikey Weinstein. Weinstein is the head of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, and to say that he hates evangelical Christians is a huge understatement. The following comes from one of my previous articles… The MRFF is a very insidious organization. It is headed up by a man named Mikey Weinstein. He has called Christians “human monsters” and “enemies of the United States Constitution“. Weinstein is convinced that sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ while in the military is “sedition and treason” and should be punished as such. With guys like that telling the Pentagon how to treat Christians, no wonder things have gotten so bad. Obama is “fundamentally transforming” the military, and those that aren’t willing to go along are being forced out. But don’t just take my word for it. In a previous article, I included these amazing quotes from retired high ranking officers… -Retired Army Major General Paul Vallely: “The White House protects their own. That’s why they stalled on the investigation into fast and furious, Benghazi and Obamacare. He’s intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged.” -Retired Army Major General Patrick Brady: “There is no doubt he (Obama) is intent on emasculating the military and will fire anyone who disagrees with him.” -Retired Army Lt. General William G. “Jerry” Boykin: “Over the past three years, it is unprecedented for the number of four-star generals to be relieved of duty, and not necessarily relieved for cause.” -Retired Navy Captain Joseph John: “I believe there are more than 137 officers who have been forced out or given bad evaluation reports so they will never make Flag (officer), because of their failure to comply to certain views.” Are you starting to get the picture? In addition, specific evangelical Christian groups are often being singled out as “hate groups” during military training sessions around the country. The following is from Fox News… Several dozen U.S. Army active duty and reserve troops were told last week that the American Family Association, a well-respected Christian ministry, should be classified as a domestic hate group because the group advocates for traditional family values. The briefing was held at Camp Shelby in Mississippi and listed the AFA alongside domestic hate groups like the Ku Klux Klan, Neo-Nazis, the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam. Needless to say, the AFA is not a hate group. But they are Bible-believing Christians that take their faith seriously. For Obama and his minions, that is a very bad thing. And as I pointed out the other day, we have seen this kind of thing since Obama has been in the White House over and over and over again. Christians are being demonized as “right-wing extremists” and “potential terrorists”, and if this keeps up it won’t be too long until we see overt persecution by the government. In the old days, Christians loved the military and the military loved Christians. But now they are being set directly at odds with each other, and for those of us that are Bible-believing Christians that has a very ominous ring to it. Source      |

 At least 18 people have been killed in a southeastern Nigerian town due to a “mysterious” disease which kills in less than 24 hours, government says. “Twenty-three people (were affected) and 18 deaths were recorded,” AFP quoted the Ondo state health commissioner, Dayo Adeyanju, as saying on Saturday. Earlier in the day a government spokesman, Kayode Akinmade, had put the number of casualties at 17, saying that the mysterious disease broke out early this week in Ode-Irele town. Akinmad added that all the victims perished within a day of falling ill and that Ebola or any other known virus has so far been ruled out as the cause by Laboratory tests, noting, “There is no patient of the disease in any hospital and the disease has not spread beyond the town.” He added that apart from government experts and health officials, World Health Organization (WHO) epidemiologists had also arrived in the town for further investigation. WHO has confirmed having information on 14 cases and 12 deaths. “Common symptoms were sudden blurred vision, headache, loss of consciousness followed by death, occurring within 24 hours,” said WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic, adding that an investigation was currently underway. Urine, blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples had been taken from victims, he added. “All samples have been sent to Lagos University Teaching Hospital this morning, and results are still pending. Investigations are still ongoing” Source      |

 A Green Party parliamentary candidate is facing a backlash after reportedly calling Israel “a racist and apartheid state.” Tanya Williams, the Green candidate for Twickenham, South West London, made the remarks during an Amnesty International hustings on Tuesday. According to the news website SW Londoner, she said: “It needs to be pointed out that they [Israel] are a racist state and an apartheid state.” “South Africa got its act together after decades of campaigning and I hope Israel may eventually too. I think it is time to stand up to the myth that Israel and Palestine are both equal participants in this conflict.” She also allegedly urged the UK government to end political and economic trade ties with Israel. “I personally think we need to stop supporting Israel, whether that’s trading arms with them, or politically, or treating them like a beacon of democracy in the Middle East which they are not,” she said. The Board of Deputies of British Jews has now called on the Green Party to condemn Williams for her “inflammatory” comments, “which attacked the only democracy in the region,” according to one member. Board Vice President Alex Brummer told SW Londoner: “The comments on the Middle East from the Green Party candidate in Twickenham are wholly unacceptable. “They are based on falsehoods, ignorance and sheer prejudice against Israel and its supporters. “Remarks like this can only fuel antagonism against the British Jewish community at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise.” However, the Richmond and Twickenham Green Party branch said it fully endorsed Williams’s statements, made “in an open forum focusing on human rights that invited a range of opinions,” the party said in a statement. “Her remarks fully reflect Green policy on the conflict between Palestine and Israel as stated in our manifesto as follows: “‘We seek a just, sustainable and peaceful solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict, based on mutual recognition of the rights to independent statehood for Palestinians and Israelis. “We condemn human rights violations by both parties and the oppression and disproportionate use of aggression by the Israeli government against the people of Gaza. “We seek to suspend the EU–Israel Association Agreement.’” Britain’s ties with Israel and stance on Palestine have become central foreign policy issues in the ongoing general election race. Labour Party leader Ed Milliband has recently pledged to recognize Palestine when the “right time” comes. Labour also says that securing peace in the Middle East and finding “a comprehensive two-state solution” for Israel and the Palestinians are key aims for the party. Source      |

 A truly chilling Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report written in conjunction with the Ministry of Healthcare (MoH) is warning today that the United States is on the verge of a catastrophic “canine apocalypse” due to a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/ISIS) bio-attack plot designed to plunge America into a “calculated and deliberate” state of continuous terror in order for their elite oligarchs to establish “final control” over these once free peoples. According to this report, the devastating avian flu virus variant currently sweeping across the mid-western parts of the US killing millions of poultry and sickening thousands of dogs was developed in CIA-ISIS field laboratories located around eight miles from the American border in an area known as “Anapra” situated just west of Ciudad Juárez in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. The SVR in this report further confirms that drone video evidence provided by the US News Service Infowars show the exact locations of these field laboratories in a heavily fortified mosque and desert testing facility/compound, both located in Chihuahua. This SVR-MoH report also notes that the politically conservative, nonpartisan US government watchdog group Judicial Watch had, likewise, revealed the existence of these CIA-ISIS bases in Mexico upon their receiving confirmation of them by a top Mexican Army field grade officer and a Mexican Federal Police Inspector. According to Judicial Watch in their report: “Law enforcement and intelligence sources report the area around Anapra is dominated by the Vicente Carrillo Fuentes Cartel (“Juárez Cartel”), La Línea (the enforcement arm of the cartel) and the Barrio Azteca (a gang originally formed in the jails of El Paso). Cartel control of the Anapra area make it an extremely dangerous and hostile operating environment for Mexican Army and Federal Police operations.  Critical to note about the Juárez Cartel which is helping ISIS, SVR intelligence analysts in this report say, is that they are, in fact, controlled by the CIA…and which in 2012 was confirmed by Chihuahua spokesman Guillermo Terrazas Villanueva who in speaking to the Aljazeera News Service stated: “The US Central Intelligence Agency and other international security forces don’t fight drug traffickers, instead they try to manage the drug trade. It’s like pest control companies, they only control. If you finish off the pests, you are out of a job. If they finish the drug business, they finish their jobs.” As to where the CIA, via its Juárez Cartel operatives, are infiltrating ISIS to conduct this massive bio attack, the SVR in this report states, is the US mid-western city of Chicago…which many American news forces are now likening to many Mexican cities embroiled in unending drug gang violence. Even worse, this report continues, Chicago has now been named by the MoH as the epicenter of the avian flu virus attacking dogs, where over 1,100 of these beloved domestic pets have been sickened with this deadly disease now having spread to the States of Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio and Indiana being affected too.  Most catastrophically, however, of this CIA-ISIS avian flu virus bio attack, the SVR reports, is its having killed millions of domestic turkey’s in the American mid-western States of Minnesota, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Iowa and Wisconsin since 4 March. Though a Minnesota farm is the most eastern farm in the US to be reporting this deadly disease, a turkey farm near Woodstock, Ontario, over 400 miles east of the Wisconsin farm, is suggesting this virus is already migrating through Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio too. To the MoH designating this avian flu a bio attack, this report says is due to the fact that it is an “unnatural” manmade variant of the Avian A/H5N1 subtypes Canine Influenza and Fujian Influenza viruses having only two distinct “targets”…dogs and turkeys. As to why just dogs and turkeys are being targeted by this CIA-ISIS bio attack, SVR analysts in this report state, can be likened to the “destruction of the identity” of the American people whose upcoming fall and winter holiday seasons are centered around their family feasts of this poultry, and when combined with an estimated that 70-80 million dogs comprising between 37-47% of all households in the United States, the loss of them would have a catastrophic effect upon these peoples lives, characters and souls.  And to the “reason/excuse” the Obama regime will use in telling the American people all of their beloved dogs must die, this report says, will be their stating that it is necessary to protect from the further spread of the avian flu virus through what are called the global flyways. To the preparation now underway by the Obama regime to carry out this horrendous “canine apocalypse”, this report warns, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) this past week ordered an additional 62 million rounds of ammunition…and which since 2012, has brought their total ammunition purchases up to 2 billion, 118 million rounds…or enough to kill one third of the entire population of Earth. Also critical to note, this report concludes, is that Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) supervisors called a “special” meeting yesterday at the US Consulate in Ciudad Juárez where this massive CIA-ISIS bio attack plot was the main point of discussion…but which this SVR-MoH report doesn’t mention any further due to its having a higher classification rating.
