EVACUATE NOW! – This is Not a Drill

(VETERANS TODAY) Russia is burning down this summer. The smoke is engulfing Moscow and the European Union. Embassies are emptying.
What’s the deal?
Thousands of forest fires are burning all over Russia. More importantly, the nuclear weapons factories and reactors around Mayak and the former Soviet Union’s Uranium Project are going up in smoke. The smoke is toxic and radioactive in every possible sense of the words.
Russian forest fires are burning down old H-Bomb factory areas and the Chernobyl poisoned woodlands. This holds the virtual certainty of at least 241,000,000 Lethal Doses of radioactivity becoming air borne during a fire. Due to peculiar nuclear forces the tiny ceramicized radioactive particles stay in the air for months
or even years till they are “rained out” by some form of precipitation.
Snowflake edges are particularly good scavengers of radioactive particles.
Two US Air Force C130s just flew into Moscow. Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab, or one of the seven other nuclear weapons labs in the US, are more than likely involved. Ask yourself this. What on earth could
have scared the Russian nuke forces enough to call in their old hated Cold War foe – the US Air Force – for help?
There is a simple way to let the people of the world know what is going on with airborne Chernobyl and Mayak data. We paid for all the data, anyway, whether Russian, American or European Union Data.
Free the Data. Release it to the InterNet all over the world and let people decide for themselves which country is safe enough for their families to live in.
If you are planning a trip to Europe or Russia – don’t go. If you are already there – leave immediately. If you have family or friends there – get them out if you can. This is not a drill. It is the real deal.
Another way to look at the Mayak national sacrifice zone in Russia is that the old Soviet Union manufactured 30,000 global thermonuclear weapons. There were numerous “accidents” at Mayak that weren’t supposed to happen and “officially” never did happen. The government lied, of course.
The 1,000 sq km around the Mayak bomb factory is one of the most contaminated areas on Earth because the Mayak Uranium Project manufactured the most poisonous substances on Earth for the most lethal weapons on Earth.
Manufacturing thermonuclear weapons is a really nasty business. As far as Weapons of Mass Destruction goes, there are the real McCoy.
As of 8/15/2010 all personnel in Russia and the European Union are advised to evacuate immediately. I repeat. This is not a drill. If you can’t leave, get your kids out. It may be too late already.

Former Miami Beach Cop Charged by FBI with Kidnapping, Extortion: IT’S THE SAME COP THAT KIDNAPPED A FEDERALJACK.COM REPORTER!

Richard Anastasi, who served as a Miami Beach Police officer until last December, kidnapped a Russian national last week, tortured him with threats of violence and tried to extort $100,000 from his family, federal prosecutors say.
 Richard Anastasi, a former Miami Beach cop, is charged in a bizarre kidnapping. |
Anastasi, who is 47, and an accomplice, 42-year old Francisco Arias, were charged this afternoon with taking a hostage with the purpose of obtaining a ransom.
Both men have admitted to tormenting the victim, prosecutors say. Anastasi claimed he was trying to use “police techniques” to recoup money he’d lost to the man in an identity theft scheme.
The twisted case began just after midnight last Thursday, prosecutors say.
The victim, an unnamed Russian man, went to an apartment building on West Ave. where he believed a package was waiting for him.
Instead, Anastasi and Arias were outside. Anastasi had retired from the MBPD on Dec. 6, according to police records, after almost 14 years on the force.
They forced the victim into a Jeep and sped off — and thus began a nightmare of threatened castration, forced dentistry and gunshots, prosecutors say.
Anastasi and Arias drove the victim to a house on SW 198th St. Along the way, prosecutors allege, Anastasi passed a knife to his accomplice and told him to cut off the victim’s testicles. Arias ripped into his pants with the knife.
At the house, the pair allegedly pointed a semiautomatic rifle with a laser sight at his head, and “advised the victim he was going to kill the victim and use him as fertilizer,” the complaint says.
The victim “begged for his life,” according to the complaint, and promised the men money. They then forced him to call his mom in Russia and wire $1,000. Arias allegedly called the money “bond” and said they’d let the man go only to get $100,000 for the men.
Around 8:30 a.m. — eight hours after his abduction — Anastasi and Arias dropped the victim off back in Miami Beach.
The victim didn’t hear from the pair again until this Monday. Anastasi and Arias showed up at his house, the complaint says, and posed as cops to get entrance from his roommate. When the roommate asked for ID, Anastasi “lifted his shirt to reveal his firearm and asked if (the roommate) had any other questions.”
Twenty minutes later, the victim returned home. Both men beat him, the complaint says, and Arias twice choked him into unconsciousness.
They then kidnapped him again. Inside the car, Arias allegedly pulled out pliers. He put the tool to the man’s tooth, the feds say, and said “that for every tooth he extracted, he would reduce the amuont of money owed by $50.”
Feds started tapping the victims phone the next day, after he complained.
Yesterday, with the feds listening in, the victim told the men he had money and asked to meet at 14th and Collins Ave. around 4 p.m. When the pair rolled up in a black SUV, the FBI swooped in.
Inside the SUV, they found quite the kidnapper’s handbag: a shotgun, rifle, handgun, portable radios, duct tape, flex handcuffs, binoculars and Anastasi’s police ID badges.
Anastasi told federal agents that he’d had his identity stolen and “that he used his skills as a former police officer” to go after the men who’d stolen it. He admitted to posing as a cop and trying to scare the victim, though he denied trying to extort money from him.
Both men face potential life sentences if they’re convicted of the charges.

Russia sells anti-air missiles to Iran
(PRESS TV)
The Russian S-300 anti-aircraft missile defense system
The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister says his country has every intention of delivering the advanced S-300 air defense missile systems to the Islamic Republic.
Israeli daily Haaretz reported on Tuesday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who visited Russia on Tuesday, has been assured that the sale of the S-300 anti-aircraft system to Iran “will be held off” by the Kremlin.
However, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov commented on the report, saying that the deal is still in motion
“There is a contract to supply these systems to Iran, and we will fulfill it … Delays (with deliveries) are linked to technical problems with adjusting these systems,” Ryabkov said on Friday.
The Russian official warned against attempts in Israel and the US to politicize and, to some extent, demonize the nature of Russia’s arms export to Iran.
“It is absolutely incorrect to put the emphasis on the issue of S-300 supplies… and to turn it into a major problem, to say nothing of linking it to the discussion on restoring trust in the purely peaceful character of Iran’s nuclear program,” Ryabkov said.
Faced with a looming threat against its enrichment infrastructure, Tehran has decided to acquire the sophisticated S-300, a mobile land-based system designed to detect and shoot down aircraft within a 120 km (75 miles) distance.
Codenamed ‘the SA-20 Gargoyle’ by NATO, the system also features high jamming immunity and is capable of simultaneously engaging up to 100 targets.
If delivered, SA-20 would make Iranian nuclear sites ‘invincible’ in the face of any attack, including aerial saturation bombings typical of Israel.
With that in mind, the Israeli leadership has gone to great lengths to stop Iran from acquiring the S-300 defense system.
“The S-300 is a Russian-made surface-to-air missile system that is very advanced, with long ranges and many capabilities,” Israeli Air Force (IAF) commander, Major General Ido Nehushtan said in September.
“We need to make every effort to stop this system from getting to places where the IAF needs to operate or may need to operate in the future,” he added.
Israel has on numerous occasions threatened to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites, arguing that the country’s enrichment activities are an existential threat to Tel Aviv, which ironically is reported to have an arsenal of 200 nuclear warheads at its disposal.
This is while Tehran says its enrichment program is purely peaceful and unlike Tel Aviv, has allowed regular inspections of its nuclear installations.

Russian general: U.S. missile defense a threat
(MILITARY TIMES) U.S. missile defense plans are a threat to Russian national security and have slowed down progress on a new arms control treaty with Washington, Russia’s top military officer said Tuesday.
Gen. Nikolai Makarov said that a revised U.S. plan to place missiles in Europe undermines Russia’s national defense, rejecting Obama administration promises that the plan is not directed at his country.
“We view it very negatively, because it could weaken our missile forces,” Makarov, the chief of the Russian military’s General Staff, said in televised remarks.
Makarov’s comments are the strongest yet on the revamped U.S. missile effort and signal potential new obstacles to an agreement on a new nuclear arms reduction treaty to replace the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty that expired Dec. 5.
The U.S. has insisted that the missile defense plans should be separate from talks to forge a new agreement on cutting the two nations’ nuclear arsenals.
Moscow and Washington hoped that they would sign a new treaty by the end of December, but talks have dragged on.
President Barack Obama’s decision to scrap Bush administration plans for missile defense sites designed to shoot down long-range missiles from rogue states such as Iran drew praise from the Kremlin, which had fiercely opposed the earlier plan as a threat.
Experts have said the new plan is less threatening to Russia because it would not initially involve interceptors capable of shooting down Russia’s intercontinental ballistic missiles.
In December, Moscow urged Washington to share detailed data about the reconfigured sea- and land-based systems to replace the old plans.
Russian officials at first reacted calmly to U.S. plans to deploy Patriot missile systems in Poland, but have grown increasingly critical in recent weeks.
Romania last week approved a proposal to place anti-ballistic missile interceptors in the country as part of the revamped American missile shield.
Asked Tuesday about the plans in Romania and Poland, Makarov called the U.S. missile defense plans a threat.
“The development of missile defense is aimed against the Russian Federation,” he said.
Romania’s Foreign Ministry maintained in a document that the proposed system is “strictly defensive … it just defends against any attack.”
No radar would be placed in the country for the missile-defense system and no interceptors would be put on ships in the Black Sea, the ministry said. The ministry also said that Russia could participate in the system if it chose to do so.
The ministry said the shield would include four phases. First, radar and Standard Missile-3 ballistic missiles would be placed on ships in southeastern Europe, along with a radar base, by 2011.
The second phase, by 2015, would include placing ground interceptors and a new radar base in southeastern Europe. The third phase would cover the whole of Europe by placing ground interceptors in northern Europe and developing new SM-3s to be placed on the ground and on ships, by 2018.
In the fourth phase, by 2020, the system would include protection against intercontinental ballistic missiles, the ministry said.
Makarov said that the planned U.S. missile shield must be part of U.S.-Russian talks on a successor to START. He said that the U.S. refusal to include missile defense in the talks had hampered progress.
“The treaty on strategic offensive weapons we are currently working on must take into account the link between defensive and offensive strategic weapons,” Makarov said. “This link is very close, they are absolutely interdependent. It would be wrong not to take the missile defense into account.”
Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin warned the U.S. last month that it must share information about its missile defense plans if it wants Russia to provide data on its new weapons.

Journalist calls for euthanasia of disabled newborns
February 3, 2010 by POPEYE
Filed under Featured Stories, Russia
(RT) The article titled “Finish it off so it doesn’t suffer,” which calls for the euthanasia of disabled newborn children, has caused public outrage in Russia and has led to fierce debates in the blogging community.
In the article under question, the author says that “the killing of the newborn is in fact the same as an abortion or super-late term abortion” and calls disabled newborns “defective blanks” and “newborn idiots”. He states that depriving disabled infants of life is “true humanism”.
The Union of Russian Journalists has accused the author of the article of breaching professional ethics.
The Union Board’s criticism comes from the fact that, instead of discussing the right for free choice of a disabled newborns’ fate, the author claims the only rational way is to deprive them of life. The board concluded that the article entrenches upon extremism.
The board added that the author of the article should have realized that he is humiliating people who are already bringing up disabled kids.
“The author is not raising a disabled child – that is why his generalized conclusions about the life of disabled people and their families… are just speculations. As a mother of a disabled child, and based on my experience, I state that these speculations have nothing to do with the reality,” said Svetlana Shtarkova, who, along with another disabled child’s mother, Snezhana Mitina, has written a letter to the Union of Russian Journalists’ Board.
According to statistics, there are 545,000 disabled kids in Russia. Only 12.2% of them live in foster homes, 23.6% of these children have various organ diseases and/or metabolic disorders, 23.1% have motor disabilities, and 21.3% have mental disabilities.

Monkey to be sent to Mars
(TELEGRAPH) Although the ape will be looked after by a robot on the mission, the decision is expected to spark controversy with animal rights groups.
The Russians first succeeded in putting monkeys into orbit in 1983.

“We have plans to return to space,” said Zurab Mikvabia, director of the Institute of Experimental Pathology and Therapy in Georgia which supplied apes for the programme in the 1980s.
The Institute is in preliminary talks with Russia’s Cosmonautics Academy about preparing monkeys for a simulated Mars mission that could lay the groundwork for sending an ape to the Red Planet, he said.
Such an initiative would build on Mars-500, a joint Russian-European project that saw six human volunteers confined in a capsule in Moscow for 120 days earlier this year to simulate a Mars mission.
Mr Mikvabia said: “Earlier this programme was aimed at sending cosmonauts, people (to Mars).
“But given the length of the flight to Mars, and given the cosmic rays for which we don’t have adequate protection over such a long trip, discussions have focused recently on sending an ape instead of a person.”
Estimates for the length of the journey to Mars vary depending on the type of mission envisioned, but the European Space Agency says its proposal for a round-trip mission would take 520 days, or about a year and a half.
If Russia pursues the idea of sending monkeys to Mars, Mikvabia’s institute could become the site of an enclosed “biosphere” where apes would be kept for long periods to simulate space flights.
The Institute said a robot would accompany the first primate to Mars to feed and look after the ape.
Mr Mikvabia said: “The robot will feed the monkey, will clean up after it. Our task will be to teach the monkey to co-operate with the robot.”
