Soros urges EU to give more support to Ukraine and not concentrate on Greece

by Michael Smith (Veshengro)

An unelected (please insert your own choice of expletive here) of a billionaire tells the European Union what to do. Sorry, run that by me again very slowly.

While this may, in the light of the events that have been unfolding with regards to the Greek “crisis” and the Troika and the European Union vehemently refusing to budge but an inch as far as rescheduling the Greek debt is concerned, be already a little old the fact remains that this particular individual is taking upon himself far too much power to tell not just one government but an entire groups of governments what to do.

And seeing the influence that this man has over the leaders of the European Union and other nations shows the farce that our so-called democracy actually is. Unfortunately most people never get to hear about those shenanigans by such “powerful” individuals, as well as corporations, play and the influence they have over those people that are supposed to be answerable to us, the people.

Instead, however, our “representatives” do not represent us but work on behalf of those that pay them brides or otherwise put pressure on them to do as they want, and refuse to answer and be answerable to us, the electorate.

That should tell everyone who is not blind or deaf that we do not, anywhere, live in any form of democracy, not even by a long stretch, and that totally aside from the fact that being allowed to once in every so many years to cast our vote for the next captain and crew to run the ship, who then decide to just carry on as is regardless on the same course, does not a democracy make.

Democracy means, in its original, that the people govern themselves and I doubt that anyone will be able to list but one country on this Planet where this is actually the case. In the main the countries are but governed, and thus none of us are free people but slaves to the state, by more or less oligarchs.

Time to wake up people!

Snipers with high-powered rifles in Ukraine “uprising”

by Michael Smith (Veshengro)

Several western news agencies circulated reports and pictures from the “uprising”, better termed illegal coup, in Kiev, Ukraine, claiming that there were people with high-powered rifles in action.

The photos – and here but two – in all cases showed men with air rifles and not high-powered (or even not so high-powered) rifles, hunting or sniper.

This is a break-action air rifle, probably cal .22

This is an under-lever action air rifle of Russian manufacture, probably cal .177

Neither of those, nor others that were shown elsewhere, are sniper rifles and neither are capable of killing – unless at close range – a person.

However, most people who do not know better will believe this sham because, after all, as they would say, it was being reported in the media and came from sources such as Reuters.

Education goes a long way in discerning what is truth and what is falsehood and it is, in this day and age, very proper to simply question everything and to do one's research. Not that it has been different before, I guess. The German fascists knew only too well that the media, in those days newspapers and radio, were weapons to be used for their aims.

With the co-called freedom of the press in the West, however, people have come to believe that they are being told the truth. This, however, is but an illusion and smoke and mirrors and much of our press and media, being but owned by a number of powerful families and organizations are but weapons of mass distraction designed to keep the masses in the dark.

And while there is “freedom of speech” and “freedom of the press” (well both sort of) in the West that does not mean that everything we hear on the radio, see on the television, read in the papers or see on the Internet is going to be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Far from it.

Someone playing with air rifles in a war-like situation is not going to do anything but put himself at risk of being shot by a counter-sniper as a sniper and thus one can also, almost, assume that those pictures that were being circulated have been staged.
