The Ministry of Defense (MoD) is reporting today that President Putin ordered this mornings massive snap combat exercise of Federation air forces and air defenses after he received a “rambling/incoherent” telephone call from British Prime Minister David Cameron wherein the UK leader began apologizing for the “coming war” and pleaded for his country not to be retaliated against with nuclear weapons.
During this nearly 30 minute telephone call, this MoD report states, Prime Minister Cameron further related his “belief/feelings” to President Putin that the UK was being “pushed” into this conflict by the Obama regime whose “adventures” in both Syria and Ukraine have cost tens-of-thousands of lives and continue to destabilize the entire world.
Making tensions even worse between the Federation and the West, this report continues, was Prime Minister Cameron’s call coming at the exact time NATO had begun its own massive air force war game exercise along the Federations Arctic border areas, which President Putin has now countered with 12,000 military personnel, up to 250 aircraft, 700 pieces of military hardware and increased combat air patrols along NATO borders.
Equally as disturbing to the Federation, this report says, was information released this past week by the former NSA intelligence analyst and US Navy counterintelligence officer John Schindler wherein he stated that he was told by a senior NATO official, “We’ll probably be at war this summer, if we’re lucky it won’t be nuclear.”
One of the Obama regimes top billionaire-oligarch backers, George Soros, this report also notes, this past week has, likewise, warned that World War III between the US, Russia and China is “no exaggeration”.
Aside from these, and many other “warnings” of the West’s intention to start a world war with the Federation, MoD experts in this report note, US Secretary of State John Kerry’s sudden visit to Sochi a fortnight ago, where he requested an emergency meeting with President Putin, has led to even further relationship instability issues between Russia and America in that with so many epic Obama regime policy failures, even the most astute observer can see that total war may be the inevitable outcome.
And to be noted, this report continues, so grave and concerning have some factions within the Obama regime come to realizing how close to world war they are after they were betrayed by the Saudis over Syria and Ukraine over Russia, Secretary Kerry’s emergency visit to President Putin was deemed vital…and as best described by the award-winning geopolitical analyst and international strategic risk consultant F. William Engdahl who in his articleWashington Blows Itself Up With Its Own Bomb stated:
“In short, by the point John Kerry was told to swallow hard and fly to Sochi, hat in hand, to offer some kind of peace pipe to Putin, US leading circles, the American Oligarchs had realized their aggressive neo-conservative warhawks like Victoria “F**k the EU” Nuland of the State Department and Defense Secretary Ash Carter were propelling the creation of a new alternative world structure that could spell the ruin of the entire post-Bretton Woods Washington-dominated Dollar System. Oops.”


As Ann Pettifor, the director of Policy Research in Macroeconomics (PRIME) has already warned that the world is on the tipping point of another money meltdown, echoing London’s Guardian news service warnings of a new global economic crash coming, this report explains, the “true goal” of this coming war is world US Dollar hegemony…which the Federation and China are determined to destroy.
And contrary to the West’s vast propaganda machine used in the continued mass deception of their citizens that they are the “best and most powerful in the world”, MoD experts in this report state, the facts remain that the countries aligned with Russia together control about 60% of the world’s GDP, have more than two-thirds of its population, and cover more than three-quarters of its surface…while at the same time Russia’s debt stood at $600 billion, as of 1 January 2015.
With the West, on the other hand, being led by the United States having debt markets at a staggering $60 trillion (the largest in the world and bigger than Europe and Japan combined), this report warns, one can, also, readily understand George Soros’s warning of World War III, and those from the former Reagan administration economic official David Stockman who, likewise, a fortnight ago grimly stated, “We are now entering the terminal phase of the global financial system that will end in total collapse.”
And as Chinese leadership today warned the Obama regime that “war will be inevitable” if it doesn’t stop its global meddling, and top Putin advisor Deputy Premier Dmitry Rogozin, likewise, chillingly warned NATO that “tanks don’t need visas”, this report says, both the Federation and China have now joined together to fight against the West’s colour revolutions and economic sanctions that have destroyed to many nations and peoples to count.
To the effectiveness of the United States and its allies in “spreading democracy” for their billionaire oligarchs, and whose neocons hawks are even now ready to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, this report concludes, their citizens should at least be aware of their past actions…and as, perhaps, best stated by the KyivPost news service:
“America’s recent attempts at muscular foreign policy should be scaring the living daylights out of all Ukrainians. Just look at Iraq. Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator, but twelve years after its liberation by American troops, Iraq is an unmitigated disaster. Half a million dead, millions of displaced persons inside the country and refugees abroad, political disintegration and the rise of ISIS are the heavy toll already paid by Iraqis – and the bill keeps adding up.”
Only when the money printing presses are turned off by the US and EU will the madness stop…otherwise global war will settle this issue like it did in World War I and World War II…

Barack Obama has made a speech, saying that this Memorial Day is the first in 14 years without major US war. Critics and social media users slammed him as hypocritical, saying the US remains involved in military conflicts and proxy wars.
“Today is the first Memorial Day in 14 years that the United States is not engaged in a major ground war,” Obama said on Memorial Day, a US holiday for remembering those who died while serving in the country’s armed forces.
He added that this Memorial Day is the first “since our war in Afghanistan came to an end,” but admitted that about 10,000 US troops remain on a mission to train and assist Afghan forces, even though “Afghanistan remains a very dangerous place.”
“And as so many families know, our troops continue to risk their lives for us,” Obama said.
Obama also said that the wars which America waged were “for democracy, the peace we’ve laid to preserve it.”
The statement by US president was met with strong criticism both from experts and social media users.
“What a joke. Of course the US is still at war,”wrote Brian Fernandes, a user on Facebook.
“The US still has troops in Afghanistan and plans to keep them there for years. And they have fomented wars in Ukraine, Africa, Syria, and now Yemen. The US is the most barbaric war-mongering nation on Earth,” added another, Richard Tina.


The 13-year war US war in Afghanistan ended in December 2014, concluding in a cost of nearly $1 trillion and the lives of over 2,200 Americans, according to the New York Times. Despite America’s combat operations being rolled back, troops remained as part of an agreement reached between Washington and Kabul.
Afghanistan still sees explosions and shootings. In January three US military contractors were killed in Afghanistan, after gunfire erupted at Kabul International Airport’s military facility.
The Taliban’s leadership declared that the Obama administration’s decision to slow US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan would hamper peace efforts in the country.
Washington is “participating pretty directly in an ongoing conflict in Iraq” in addition to a number of proxy wars that they are supporting,” former US marine Ross Caputi told RT.
The war in Afghanistan “is certainly not over, and it won’t be over for many years – arguably even after the US troops leave. Wars always leave a destructive wake of violence after them, and there is sort of lag to the violence also.”
Caputi believes that the US government is attempting to present a certain picture of US foreign policy and US military engagements around the world.
“Most of the time the picture they are trying to present is very different from what is actually going on the ground. This is part of something that they call information operations, and they use a number of tactics in these information operations.”
Washington uses “misinformation” which is a part of “perception management,” he says.
“So that is what they are doing, they are trying to manage way that the public perceives US foreign policy, even if that means deceiving them.”
Countries once invaded or interfered with by the US and its allies – Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia or Syria – have become hotbeds for militants from Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and similar terrorist groups.
Though Washington has not officially declared war since 1941 (in WWII), Syria became the seventh country that Barack Obama – recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize – has bombed in his presidency.
Washington is also involved in on-ground training of the military in the countries, engaged in internal wars, including the one in Ukraine. In April, paratroopers of the US 173rd Airborne Brigade arrived in western Ukraine to provide training for Ukrainian government troops who fight against rebels in eastern Ukraine.

The Time Warner Center as viewed from Central Park West in New York.
American company Charter Communications is clinching a deal to buy Time Warner Cable for about $55 billion.
Charter, mostly backed by American billionaire John C. Malone, is set to buy the company following a deal that may be announced as soon as Tuesday, the New York Times reported on Monday.
Charter is said to be paying some $195 a share in cash and stock, an amount approximately 14 percent higher than the cable telecommunications company’s closing stock price on Friday.
The deal would bring about a new mega-merger in the US media industry.
The European telecommunications company Altice agreed to pay some $9 billion to buy Suddenlink last week.
Meanwhile, Charter was also coming close to another agreement over another cable operator, Bright House Networks.
Malone’s efforts to penetrate the American broadband industry last year, failed after Comcast the largest broadcasting and cable company in the world by revenue, bid $45 billion for Time Warner Cable. Comcast ultimately failed to buy Time Warner, however.

Finding the scientists to build such a weapon, whether dirty or actual, wouldn’t be all that difficult.
With nuclear material having been stolen on multiple occasions in Mexico, and close terrorist ties to intelligence organizations in the middle east, it appears that if an organization was committed to acquiring nuclear material they could do so. Finding the scientists to build such a weapon, whether dirty or actual, wouldn’t be all that difficult. Moreover, smuggling such a device into the U.S. is possible, as evidenced by a 2011 report which confirms that at least one nuclear weapon of mass destruction was seized as it entered the United States.
According to a report from Zero Hedge, such a plan may be in the works over the next twelve months, as the Islamic State claims it may be actively pursuing a nuclear weapon intended for detonation on American soil.
Three weeks after the first supposed attack by Islamic State supporters in the US, in which two ISIS “soldiers” wounded a security guard before they were killed in Garland, Texas, the time has come to raise the fear stakes.
In an article posted in the terrorist group’s English-language online magazine Dabiq (which as can be see below seems to have gotten its design cues straight from Madison Avenue and is just missing glossy pages filled with ‘scratch and sniff’ perfume ads ) ISIS claimed that it has enough money to buy a nuclear weapon from Pakistan and “carry out an attack inside the United States next year.”
In the article, the ISIS columnist said the weapon could be smuggled into the United States via its southern border with Mexico.
Curiously, the author of the piece is John Cantlie, a British photojournalist who was abducted by ISIS in 2012 and has been held hostage by the organization ever since; he has appeared in several videos since his kidnapping and criticized Western powers.
As the Telegraph notes, “Mr Cantlie, whose fellow journalist hostages have all either been released or beheaded, has appeared in the group’s propaganda videos and written previous pieces. In his latest work, presumed to be written under pressure but in his hall-mark style combining hyperbole, metaphor and sarcasm, he says that President Obama’s policies for containing Isil have demonstrably failed and increased the risk to America.”
Cantlie describes the following “hypothetical” scenario in Dabiq :
Let me throw a hypothetical operation onto the table. The Islamic State has billions of dollars in the bank, so they call on their wilayah in Pakistan to purchase a nuclear device through weapons dealers with links to corrupt officials in the region.
The weapon is then transported overland until it makes it to Libya, where the muj?hid?n move it south to Nigeria. Drug shipments from Columbia bound for Europe pass through West Africa, so moving other types of contraband from East to West is just as possible.
The nuke and accompanying mujahadin arrive on the shorelines of South America and are transported through the porous borders of Central America before arriving in Mexico and up to the border with the United States.
From there it’s just a quick hop through a smuggling tunnel and hey presto, they’re mingling with another 12 million “illegal” aliens in America with a nuclear bomb in the trunk of their car.
Cantlie continues:
Perhaps such a scenario is far-fetched but it’s the sum of all fears for Western intelligence agencies and it’s infinitely more possible today than it was just one year ago. And if not a nuke, what about a few thousand tons of ammonium nitrate explosive?
That’s easy enough to make. The Islamic State make no secret of the fact they have every intention of attacking America on its home soil and they’re not going to mince about with two muj?hid?n taking down a dozen casualties if it originates from the Caliphate. They’ll be looking to do something big, something that would make any past operation look like a squirrel shoot, and the more groups that pledge allegiance the more possible it becomes to pull off something truly epic.
Remember, all of this has happened in less than a year. How more dangerous will be the lines of communication and supply a year on from today? If the West completely failed to spot the emergence of the Islamic State and then the allies who so quickly pledged allegiance to it from around the world, what else of massive significance are they going to miss next?
One can, of course, debate just how much the West “failed to spot the emergence of ISIS” considering it was not only the CIA which initially trained the terrorist organization in Jordan in 2012, but according to recently declassified Pentagon documents, the US was well aware the outcome its attempt to overthrow Syria’s Assad would have on the region, in the process “creating” ISIS, aka al Qaeda 2.0.
In other words, even the “hypothetical operation” involving a nuclear attack on US soil would implicitly have the blessing of the US government. Which, considering the way the stock market surges every time the US economy deteriorates further on its way towards recession, probably means that a mushroom cloud appearing in some major US metropolitan area is just what the E-mini algos would need to send the S&P500 limit up.
Source: Zero Hedge
We have definitive confirmation via declassified documents that the Islamic State is a creation of the U.S. Department of Defense and Central Intelligence Agency, and their influence across the middle east was predicted well in advance of anyone ever having heard the name ISIS or ISIL. We also know that false flag operations, such as the German Reichstag fire of 1933, are often used by governments (or rogue elements within a government) to implement changes to existing political and social paradigms.
It could be that this nuclear threat is a psychological operation designed to elicit fear in the populace so that they go along willingly with legislative actions like the Patriot Act which further erode individual rights in the name of protecting us from terrorism, or to justify large scale military operations on U.S. soil, including but not limited to this summer’s Jade Helm exercises.
Or, certainly within the realm of possibility, is the notion that at some point a rogue terror element, the origination and loyalty of which makes absolutely no difference in the end, is planning on detonating a nuclear device on U.S. soil.
Perhaps this is one reason for why the elite are rapidly investing in secret hideaways. Perhaps they know it’s time to start exiting large metropolitan areas ahead of whatever is coming. Perhaps it all starts with a bang and a mushroom cloud, soon followed by panic, riots, looting, and of course, the unprecedented domestic military response that would be necessitated by a widespread breakdown of civil order.
We can only speculate, but the fact is that another large-scale attack on U.S. soil would usher in a new era in the Land of the Free.
Admittedly, we have delved deep into the rabbit hole of conspiracy theory, but we leave the reader the following quote to consider within the context of this current threat:
The process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.
Project for a New American Century, 2000 (PDF Link)
Signed by Jeb Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, et. al.
At the very least the American people are being psychologically conditioned to accept their own enslavement. At worst, an event such as this would be used to plunge the world into the next great war.

A number of Russian MPs have suggested altering the current legislation and introducing criminal responsibility for illegal trade in GMO products. The idea is to mete out prison terms of up to two years for repeated offenders.
The bill tightening the rules for selling genetically modified products has been prepared by lawmakers representing the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, known for its nationalist stance. The draft has already been forwarded to the government and Supreme Court for assessment, and it will then be submitted to parliament.
If passed the bill would amend the existing article of the criminal code that orders punishment for concealing any information about potential hazards for human life and health. It would include violation of the rules for marking goods containing GMO material. Those found guilty would face fines of up to 300,000 rubles (about $6000), or up to two years in prison or penal labor. The bill specifies that, depending on the crime’s circumstances, the punishment could be applied to the head of the company and the workers involved in the violations.
Currently, improper labeling of GMO products is punished by fines ranging between 20,000 and 50,000 rubles ($400 – $1,000) for individual entrepreneurs and between 100,000 and 500,000 rubles ($2,000 – $10,000) for companies. The law regulating the turnover of GMO was first introduced in Russia in 2007. It requires clearly visible indication on all goods containing 0.9 percent of genetically modified organisms by weight.
One of the sponsors of the new bill, MP Kirill Cherkasov, said in comments to the Izvestia daily that the document was necessary until experts release full scientific research on the effects of GMO on human health. He added the current practice could lead to abuse, as sometimes the profits from selling unmarked GMO products can potentially cover even heavy fines.
Experts who took part in developing the bill also said that producers often sent “clean” products for government evaluation, but sold cheaper products with GMO content on the mass market.
According to the government statistics overview released in 2014, the share of GMO in the Russian food industry has declined from 12 percent to just 0.01 percent over the past 10 years, and currently there are just 57 registered food products containing GMO.
In February 2014, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev held a government session dedicated to the problem. He said Russia will create its own research base for genetically modified organisms that would provide the authorities with expert information and allow for further legislative measures and executive decisions.
Medvedev also warned against perceiving GMO products as “absolute evil,” but said the government didn’t support their use in the food industry.
