Politics › US Seeking To Replace Putin With Cia-backed Regime: Madsen by tsdarkside(op): 10:05am On Jul 06, 2015
http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk

By wmw_admin on July 6, 2015

Press TV — June 5, 2015

Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen believes that the United States is seeking to replace Russian President Vladimir Putin with a CIA-backed regime.

“There are still these American dreams of ousting Putin and replacing him with some corrupt oligarch like Mikhail Khodorkovsky or a number of these CIA-supported and George Soros-supported Russian gangsters,” he said on Sunday.

American billionaire George Soros has been accused of using his money to subvert the political systems of many Eastern European and Central Asian countries.

The columnist made the remarks in an interview with Press TV regarding Putin’s congratulatory Independence Day message to President Barack Obama.

Madsen said Putin has made the right decision by calling on Obama to sit down and work together in order to resolve global issues.

“President Putin is correct in talking about how he and President Obama need to work together as they have been on Iran nuclear talks and on other issues,” he said.

The Russian president in his message noted that despite some differences, the state of affairs between the Kremlin and the White House remains vital to the international stability and security.

“We saw that happen with the Syrian chemical weapons being taken out of the country as a result of a US-Russian agreement,” Madsen said.

This is while the Obama administration has been busy inflicting sanctions against Russia for what Washington calls arming pro-Russian forces in eastern Ukraine.

Madsen, however, believes “the United States has right now a tendency to isolate Russia, to try to undermine its government.”

“The latest manifestation of that is obvious CIA support for something called the European Endowment for Democracy that is almost the same thing as the CIA-funded National Endowment for Democracy, out of Washington,” he said.

The analyst went on to say that although Russia is showing good will, it is not likely to get a similar response from the United States.

“It is going to be very difficult for President Putin to get anything substantial back from the American side on this olive branch that he has obviously extended to President Obama,” he concluded.

xcolanto:
It seems the UN nalyst knows more than Nigerians and the government know about boko boys. How could he be so sure of boko Being in its ending phase? I foresee the federal government going into juicy negotiations with boko boys, a situation where they would be rehabilitated and well cartered for like the militants in the Niger delta region where once handled.
It's sad that after the north eastern people have finished destroying their region, the resources of the ND would be used to advance the region ahead of the local communities that provide these resources. The clear bias and further neglect of the ND by the FG is likely to rough up some feathers down south as it presently is now with the one-sided appointments experienced so far. The FG has to tread carefully with the way the boko menace is handled.
no realy,,,,white-people are devils...this info is realy interessting.....pahhhhh....boko haram can not survive in nigeria...we dont need un to tell us rubbish....the clueless-one is gone....

Yes! Most defintely, but do not be deceived by those DNA kits non-sense, All Black people share the same DNA. The whole of the Sahara desert with all of the North-eastern African would be replenished (I wonder where all the missing lakes and river are going to, onething for sure is that they can't escape into space). However, Get your minds back and right.

To fight those white thing, Surprise them by changing your names fight, use a Black organisation agency (so that funds can go there), change your names. Africa would not accept you with them. Why? Because you went 500 years ago as Emeka Utubor, it is very nice if you come back as Haruna Ishola, or Koffi Ibang, or Eboka Ngungu or Shehu Muhammad or Tope Badimu/Badmus or Da-Silva(like the moors).

bigfrancis21:
Yes!

In all honesty, yes!

African americans are quite talented but the effect of mental slavery still holds sway in many of them, especially in the area of expressing and utilizing their intelligence. I see many african americans, especially males, believe they are incapable of achieving great statuses in life through the use of their brains simply because they are black, which is as a result of lingering echoes racial superiority in America. Sports or music are the only roads to success in life, as viewed by many. I see racial tension between blacks and whites continuing for a very long time. Equally, the american educational system, which only showcases white achievement, is partly responsible for the mental slavery of many african americans. From childhood, black kids are exposed to brainwashing of only white achievers and very little or no black achievers, meanwhile the legacy of slavery is audaciously brandished against black kids in the form of so-called history with the purpose of ingraining in their mindset that their forefathers were slaves, which is an indirect pyschological means of mentally subjugating these black kids from their early years. These kids grow up with the lingering effects of such mental subjugation in their primal years. Equally, the media keeps portraying Africa to be some deserted jungle and desert which many african americans believe and are ashamed to associate themselves with.

During the first quarter of the slave trade era, the Irish (regarded as caucasians today) were sold massively as slaves to English men and women and sold off to the Americas. However, this is hardly taught in so-called american universities. That portion of history has totally been ignored and sidelined and it is almost as if it never existed. However, the entire slave history of african americans was properly packaged and thrown at there at blacks as a subtle reminder of a lower social class in the past.

Thus in that regard, I am in full support of a mass return of AAs to Africa, especially to a country carved out as their own. A country they could call their own.
nooo....you shall integrate with us....welcome back..... grin grin grin grin
Business › Re: BVN : A Friend's Hilarious Experience At GT Bank With A White Man by tsdarkside(m): 9:17am On Jul 06, 2015
Tuntheycr7:
[b]This morning, as I landed in Lagos, I made to the
nearest GTB to transact. The queue from inside
the banking hall to the bank entrance was crazy.
They are customers who wanna register for their
BVN, I was told. Today is the last day for
registration, they said. I wished them well as I
aligned with the shorter queue for customers
who wanna deposit cash.
Soon, from the BVN queue, a woman began to
scream. The only thing I was able to pick from
the scream, 'se ori meji loni ni? (does he have
two heads?' I stepped out of my queue, to go
and gbeborun, to see what or who was
tormenting this woman. These GTB staff that are
always garbed in white military-like uniform; are
they drivers or security men? About three of
them had just came in with one whiteman. And
they took the whiteman straight to the lady at
the BVN desk. And the lady, too, was already
attending to the whiteman while the queue
watched, and waited, except this woman.
For a moment, I observed things. The woman
screaming against this white supremacy on the
soil of Africa is one local market woman. I
figured through her dressing, the way she tied
her purse around her waist, and when she
lamented that they left their wares to come join
this queue since they heard the exercise was
gonna close today. The men in white and the
whiteman weren't bothered by the woman's
noise. It was a case of allowing the dog bark all
it can till it can bark no more. The people on the
queue were indifferent. Some of them, their
looks carried the undertone, 'shey this woman
wey dey shout want oyinbo to join the queue ni?
Haba!'
I stepped into the circle, calming the woman.
And then, I took the fight from there. I banged
the desk twice, and instantly I got everyone's
attention. How can these men in white bring this
man in and wouldn't tell him to join the queue? I
began. Hey madam, pointing to GTB staff by the
BVN desk, you can only attend to this man when
he joins the queue! Who are you? One of the
idiots in white turned at me. I jega'ed him. I am
a ten year old customer of GTB, I said, with a
brief smile. At this point, everything stood still.
Tell this man to join the queue, I insisted. When
the whiteman's eyes met mine, I expected him to
talk. He didn't. I did the talking. Is this how you
do from where you come from, huh? I threw into
his face. Is this how you will connive with staff
to jump over the queue when at the Barclays
Bank in London or the Royal Bank in Edinburgh
or Dime Savings Bank of New York? Ha, we don't
do like that here in Nigeria o. We follow due-
process. Mafi bredi komi lomi obe je, ogbeni
oyinbo! L'Eko Ile? Oma to sori queue yen ni se.
He folded his arms and looked on imperiously.
At this point, the bank top officials had gathered
around. There were attempts to 'rescue' the
whiteman to their office upstairs. I halted it. The
moment I noticed, I told them that if they go
attend to the whiteman upstairs, I will tell
everyone on the queue to march upstairs, too.
And then, they resorted to begging. And even the
woman whose fight I had taken ownership of
started to beg me. Otito Baba Oko mi, she
pleaded. No, oyinbo MUST join the queue! Their
pleading fuelled my anger. What is that?
These things that come with neo-imperialism
sha. I've also heard about how whitemen smoke
in places marked No Smoking at the Nigerian
airport, and they go, without being penalised as
would Nigerian offenders.[/b]

Politics › Re: Here Are Solutions To Cure African Self Hatred Around The World!! by tsdarkside(m): 8:44am On Jul 06, 2015
igbo2011:
Here are some solutions:

We need to change our mindset. We need to have self love first. Value our image. Religion, media and education will do a great role in our mind liberating. Here is something a wrote last year about this topic.

The three main things are religion, media, and history.
1. Religion: When Africans looks at a deity that is white then they feel that god is white. The missionaries know hte original god is Jesus is not white but they still push white Jesus. This makes Africans worship white people subconsciously. Christianity originated from Africa anyway. Isis=Mary Horus-Jesus Ankh=Christ 42 principles of Ma at=10 commandments a set=Mary Magdalene. If Africans knew this then they would probably stop following Christianity. If you can enslave a mind then you can have a slave for a thousand year. Now many Africans are slaves in their mind. There is a facebook page for that as well: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Freedom-From-Mental-Slavery/161399403976816
People always say the race of Jesus doesn't matter, but if it didn't matter then why don't missionaries put Jesus in their original image? TO ENSLAVE THE MIND!!! Read the book Christianity before Christ: http://www.amazon.com/Christianity-Before-Christ-John-Jackson/dp/0910309205 and this book http://www.amazon.com/The-Worlds-Sixteen-Crucified-Saviors/dp/1602062803/ref=pd_sim_b_5

2. Media In Media we always see whites as good and blacks as bad. CNN BBC always portrays Africans badly. Many Africans watch this all the time and get their news from their. They believe everything from CNN even though a lot is BS that is why they justified Gbagbo being overthrown and Gaddaffi dying. Also now with this KONY 2012 thing. Even in Hollywood they show America and Europe and glorify it and they see how great the west is. Then they see how their city is then they say wow whites can build great cites but blacks can't. But the blacks don't know HOW they got all of that. What did they do? They exterminated the Native Americans, they enslaved fellow Africans. They cause many wars around the world to get cheap resources. They fund various African wars. Most Africans don't know this because we are brainwashed

3. History: Some Africans only think that their history is slavery and colonization. They glorify Europe and white people in history and say Africans are less than human. Read the book Miseducation of a negro by Carter Woodson. The educated Africans are taught to despise their own people. My friend went to a Christian school in Nigeria and they taught them Americans and European history instead of African history smh. That is how you make a slave.

I stress history in national building because without one's knowledge of self to give them self pride, they will not do anything in the future. I know Africans born and raised in Africa who know nothing about African history. Also, when I discuss African history they call me "Afro-Centric". Why is knowing the history of Africa "Afro-Centric" You are SUPPOSED to know the history of Africa. You are supposed to know about Ancient Egypt, Ethiopia, Punt, Nubia, Dhar TIchit, Nok culture, Wolof, Carthage, Phoencicains, Zulu, Cananites, Moors, Ghana, Songhai, Mali, Benin, Ife, Nri, Kuba, Luba, Kongo, Kilwa, Monomotopia Aashanti, Bornu, Hausa, and other great African empires. This should be common knowledge that ALL blacks know to give us appreciation for one another and also so we stop having an inferiority complex and hatred for one another.This will help create a global black unity among ourselves We also must know the bads like slavery, wars, colonization and neo-colonization. So we can understand our present day situation.

If you bomb Japan then they can bounce back up. Enslave a mind and they are a slave for life and you make their descendants slaves as well.

We must control the media, teach our great history about how western civilization was made by Africans. http://www.amazon.com/Africa-Western-Civilization-African-American-Heritage/dp/0933121253/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1333298517&sr=1-1
We must teach people what these Europeans do behind the scenes and how they do very bad things to get where they are. We must do away with religion and go back to spirituality. Besides the death rituals, spirituality is pretty good. If we must do Christianity then we must only do it with a black Jesus.

READ READ READ if you aren't a good reader then watch lectures on youtube. Don't just read TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!! We must WAKE UP fast before we get exterminated.

Jokes Etc › Re: Nigeria Jokes Update With Ofego by tsdarkside(m): 10:43pm On Jul 05, 2015
njuwo:
A rat looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. "What food might this contain?" The rat wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a rat trap. Retreating to the farmyard, the rat proclaimed the warning: "There is a rat trap in the house! There is a rat trap in the house!" The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr Rat, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it." The rat turned to the goat and told him, "There is a rat trap in the house! There is a rat trap in the house!" The goat sympathised, but said, "I am so very sorry Mr Rat, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers." The rat turned to the cow and said, "There is a rat trap in the house! There is a rat trap in the house!" The cow said, "Wow, Mr Rat, I'm sorry for you, but it is no skin off my nose." So, the rat returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's rat trap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house like the sound of a rat trap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his matchet to the farmyard for the soup's main Ingredient. Alas! the farmer's wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbours came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the goat. The farmer's wife did not get well, she died. Many people came for her funeral and the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. The rat watched all these from his crack in the wall with great sadness. So my people, always be concerned about the rat in your house.

Politics › “saakashvili Auctions Off Odessa To American Investors” by tsdarkside(op): 4:37am On Jul 05, 2015
By wmw_admin on July 4, 2015

Julie Levesque — Global Research July 3, 2015

Stop NATO recently published a news item from Interfax Ukraine which virtually went unnoticed. The short news piece said: “Odessa regional administration head Mikheil Saakashvili has departed for the U.S. to present the region’s investment opportunities to international investors.” (Saakashvili presenting Odesa region’s investment opportunities in U.S., Interfax-Ukraine, June 20, 2015)

Mikheil Saakashvili, the former (US sponsored) President of Georgia (January 2004 – November 2013) accused of “exceeding official powers” during demonstrations in 2007, was offered Ukrainian citizenship by President Petro Poroshenko who appointed him governor of the Odessa Oblast region. He abandoned his Georgian citizenship to avoid extradition and jail time in his country.

Only a month after leaving office in 2013, Saakashvili joined The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University in the U.S. In 2005, “Saakashvili was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize” by two notable warmongers, Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

Saakashvili said the following regarding his latest trip to the U.S.:

“I am presenting the Odessa region’s investment opportunities to international investors in New York. Odessa has a lot of advantages, in particular, a very well-educated and talented population and an amazing tourism potential, and we will guarantee investors’ protection from extortions and racket, which has obstructed economic growth so much until lately,” Saakashvili said on Facebook on Friday. (Interfax-Ukraine, op., cit.)

Saakashvili’s comments would be laughable if the situation in Odessa was not so dramatic.

The US-backed coup d’état in Ukraine, labelled “democratic revolution” by Western leaders and their mainstream media, brought to power unelected officials, including several neo-Nazis. What followed has been a real nightmare for the populations of Odessa and other regions, which had overwhelmingly voted for Viktor Yanukovich, ousted by the US-backed coup, and rejected an antidemocratic government handpicked and imposed by foreigners.

We may recall the May 2, 2014 massacre, in which 200 people were injured and 48 activists were killed by fascist thugs, some burned to death in the Trade Unions Building fire, others beaten and/or shot while trying to escape the flames.

Political repression in Odessa is an ongoing process. About a month ago Eric Draitser wrote:

In recent weeks and months, the local authorities have engaged in politically motivated arrests of key journalists and bloggers who have presented a critical perspective on the developments in Odessa. Most prominent among them are the editors of the website infocenter-odessa.com, a locally oriented news site that has been fiercely critical of the Kiev regime and its local authorities. (Eric Draitser, Kiev’s Repression of Anti-Fascism in Odessa, CounterPunch, May 27, 2015)

Back in April a group of Odessan residents announced their intentions to break away from Ukraine and join the newly formed Donetsk and Luhansk Republics in Eastern Ukraine. Shortly after, Ukrainian security forces arrested and tortured several dozen residents:

The security forces (SBU) arrested several dozen residents of Odessa, supporters of New Russia. Those arrested were subjected to severe torture.

Here is the text of the official statement sent by the head of the EPD [People’s Republic of Odessa]:

“Odessa again, is choking on the blood of their sons. At this time, the Nazis did not wait for May to act. Punishers of ‘Security Service of Ukraine’ arrested several dozen supporters of the New Russia. According to information received, they are now trying the most sophisticated, almost medieval torture-methods. I was told about this by reliable and trusted sources.

“On the outskirts of the city there were created some form of ‘national guard’. (Eric Zuesse, Ukraine: Odessa Region “Breakaway Republic” Project Announced, to Join Donetsk and Luhansk Republics, Global Research, April 13, 2015)

An unelected government appoints a foreign Governor to silence and torture its population and sell Odessa to foreign investors. That’s what “democracy” looks like in post-Maidan Ukraine.

Selling cities and countries is increasingly part of a neoliberal new normal.
