What Does Putin Want? A Major Analysis by a Prominent Russian Commentator -- a Foreword by The Saker
this conflict is not about the Ukraine but about the future of the planet and that there is no “Novorussian” or even “Ukrainian” solution, but that the only possible outcome is a strategic victory of either Russia or the USA which will affect the entire planet.

The Angry Arab News Service/وكالة أنباء العربي الغاضب: The American people should know: the US is on the ...: .The Saudi-US-GCC alliance in Yemen is working hand-in-hand with Al-Qa`idah. What the Saudi regime calls "rebels" or "resistance" in Yemen are none other than Al-Qa`idah terrorists. The same game was played in Syria, of course. Will Richard Engel now claim that he was kidnapped by Huthis, I wonder?

The America Hillary Clinton is trying to woo is moving away from Israel. Will the presidential hopeful and the Democratic Party leadership follow? I wouldn’t bet on it any time soon, but the trends are hard to ignore.

This is a culture: they all were part of a charade to promote and champion the Free Syrian Army when that very army was kidnapping innocent Lebanese Shi’ites and killing people on sectarian grounds. They didn’t want to believe it."Posted by As'ad AbuKhalil

Understanding the Politics of Saudi Sectarianism | Tanqeed
Understanding the Politics of Saudi Sectarianism | Tanqeed
"One of the most significant reasons is that the ostensible ‘sectarian’ nature of the conflict has not clouded the political judgment of most Pakistanis, whether Sunni or Shia. Despite the desperate attempts of the Saudis to characterize any development in the Middle East and beyond as a ‘Shia/Iranian conspiracy’ against Sunnidom, most folks are not buying it this time. The gratuitous and malignant interventions the Saudis carry out throughout the region and wherever they can get their hands on a Muslim community have become too obvious to overlook. The Kingdom’s recent machinations in Iraq, Egypt, Bahrain, and Syria have produced enormous bloodshed, mayhem, and new generations of puritanical and violent jihadis. This is of course consistent with the politically reactionary role the Saudis have always played – and our part of the world should know that best.
The fact that there is indeed commentary that is emphasizing how sectarianism is a camouflage for profoundly political causes is noteworthy and important. However, what is actually required now is deeper analysis to understand what is driving this ‘geo-sectarian’ card that the Saudis have been playing since 1979."

Russian Hackers: Putin Foe Khodorkovsky To Spend $5Mil on New Media Product
Russian Hackers: Putin Foe Khodorkovsky To Spend $5Mil on New Media Product
This article originally appeared this past Monday in Russian at the popular Russian news site, Lifenews.ru It was translated for RI by Aleksei Shestyan.
The businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky is planning to organize and launch his own media entertainment channel and a news website, spending over $5,289,000 on the projects' launch. Correspondence between the businessman and journalist Olga Pispanen, who is also Khodorkovsky's official PR representative, was published on the website 'Anonymous Group -Fifth Power', a hacking organisation.
According to the (leaked) documents, the businessman plans to name the television channel 'V', which portrays a sign for 'victory' made by the two fingers of a hand.
In preparing for the launch, technical support and pilot production of content should take about six months, and the promotion and promotional media should take about 30 months, or 2.5 years.
According to the data obtained by hackers, in launching his own media, Khodorkovsky plans to spend over five million dollars, while for just the service information there has already been developed a six-month budget of almost $ 4 million dollars.
Also, according to the documents, salaries to future employees of the TV channel will be paid in dollars. For example, the pay of the chief editor will depend on the specialization, and varies according to the documents from around 3000 to 4500 dollars a month. Executives of the new media outlet will receive 10 thousand dollars monthly. As for the financing of all of the media, it would be through a non-profit organization, the head office of which office would be in Prague, with other outlets across Europe and in Moscow.
Information of the intention to create this media outlet became available to the online-hackers after they hacked into Olga Pispanen's email account. In the tab "Inbox," she had led a correspondence with a person who was using the pseudonym of 'МВК' (Mikhail Borisovic Khodorkovsky), which according to the hackers, Khodorkovsky used to stay anonymous.
It can be noted, however, that there is no certainty as to whether Khodorkovsky will proceed with the outlets' creation, and it is unclear the extent to which the plan has been developed.
This is not the first time the hacking group -'Anonymous group' - has laid out the details of a correspondence between the businessman and PR representative. Previously LifeNews reported that the hackers published evidence of financial ties between Khodorkovsky and (Lyudmila) Ulitskaya. This was from a correspondence between Olga Pispanen and an addressee calling themselves Lyudmila U. and it was revealed that in February 2014 the writer (Lyudmila Ulitskaya) planned to meet the ex-head of Yukos (Mikhail Khodorkovsky) in Berlin or Zurich. In the end, the meeting was confirmed, and Ulitskaya notified that she had arrived in Switzerland. A few days after meeting with Khodorkovsky, Ulitskaya sent Pispanen details for a money transfer.
Also from the correspondence it also became known that at the time, Mikhail Khodorkovsky promised the leadership of (television channel) «Дождя» (or "Rain") financial assistance in the amount of one hundred thousand dollars, when the channel began to be excluded from satellite packages of television operators after the scandalous poll on the topic of 'The Siege of Leningrad.'
