ZERO HEDGE
The
Untold Story Of A Ukrainian Sniper Who Took Part In The Maidan Massacre.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/13/2015. In order to preserve
the western narrative that the violent Ukraine coup was not one staged,
massive, and very deadly false flag event, protest organisers have always
denied any involvement. Which is why stories such as the one we wrote in March,
which revealed that "Behind
The Kiev Snipers It Was Somebody From The New Coalition" - A Stunning New
Leak Released" got precisely zero traction in the western press. But
now, for the first time, one man has spoken up and told the BBC a different
story.

Another
Bubble Pops: Price Of Farmland Suffers First Annual Decline Since 1986.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/13/2015. WSJ
reports, the first crack in the farmland bubble are appearing, after farmland
values declined in parts of the Midwest for the first time in decades last year
"reflecting a cooling in the market driven by two years of bumper
crops and sharply lower grain prices, according to Federal Reserve reports on
Thursday." the average price of farmland in the Federal Reserve Bank of
Chicago’s district, which includes Illinois, Iowa and other big farm states, fell
3% in 2014, marking the first annual decline since 1986, which makes farmlands
the only asset class that had not seen a down year in nearly three decades!

The
US' Suicidal Strategy On Ukraine. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/13/2015. Ukraine is back in the news cycle and for good reason
as shelling continues even after the Minsk 'truce' deal. So what? The average
American might ask. Ukraine is half a world away. Who cares what happens there?
Putting aside the humanitarian reasons for not prolonging or intensifying a
regional conflict, we risk not just only America's century-long ties with
western Europe, but possibly the next world war. We are pushing our agenda
and armaments right up against the Russian border -- for reasons that are still
completely opaque at this time -- and Russia, understandably, will simply
not stand for that.

Obama
Unveils His Executive Order To Share Your Confidential Information With Corporations:
Live Webcast. Submitted by Tyler
Durden on 02/13/2015. As reported earlier, today Obama
will unleash his latest executive order, one which will set the stage for "information
sharing and analysis organizations" (ISAOs) - or, in political jargon "hubs
where companies share cyber threat data with each other and with the Department
of Homeland Security." In regular parlance, what Obama will do
is merely codify the second coming of the Patriot Act. Click here to make it

Fighting
Rages After Ukraine "Ceasefire" Deal; Ukraine Ultranationalist Leader
Rejects Peace Agreement. Submitted
by Tyler Durden on 02/13/2015. "A ceasefire is
due to come into effect from Sunday under the agreement, which also envisages a
withdrawal of the heavy weapons responsible for many of the 5,000 casualties in
the conflict that broke out almost a year ago. Kiev said pro-Russian rebels had
built up their forces across separatist-held zones since the deal and both
sides accused each other of killing civilians." There is still hope that
on Sunday morning things will be different. Yet, one element that is certain to
undermine any deal, in addition to the now usual suspects because after all
this is a proxy civil war with far greater geopolitical interests involved, is
Ukraine’s ultranationalistic Right Sector, whose leader Dmitry Yarosh today said
his radical movement rejects the Minsk peace deal and that their paramilitary
units in eastern Ukraine will continue “active fighting" according to
their "own plans."

Greece
Willing To Do "Whatever It Can" To Reach Deal After Greek Liquidity
Situation Deteriorates Rapidly.
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 02/13/2015. Gabriel Sakellaridis
told Skai TV. "If we don't have an agreement on Monday, we believe that
there is always time so that there won't be a problem." The reason for
this rapid about face? "Senior bank officials have told Kathimerini
that almost all the liquidity available to Greece (59.5 billion euros) has been
absorbed and that banks’ total dependence on the Eurosystem amounts to 90
billion. The rapid deterioration in liquidity conditions has been
attributed to the uncertainty that arose when the snap general elections were
called as well as the new government’s inability to reach a swift agreement
with the country’s creditors." As usual: money threatening to walk, walks.

SIS launches suicide attacks at Iraqi base
housing US Marines [Un adagio popular reza así: No críes cuervos porque
te sacaran los ojos. Es lo que al parecer está ocurriendo con America:
reclutaron, entrenaron, financiaron y armaron al ISIS, hasta con tanques y
ahora los mercenarios empiezan a darles la espalda. El que juega con fuego, que
no tema quemarse. Hoy atizan una guerra mundial y es sin duda fuego lo que van
a recibir los jerarcas del imperio y quizá no de los mercenarios de fuera.. quiza de sus propios soldados abandonados.. como ocurrio en Rusia en 1917, los zares crearon sus propios sepultureros y los mafiosos de las finanzas de America tambien]

Ukraine
ultranationalist leader rejects Minsk peace deal, vows 'to continue war'. [los payasos
neo-nazis de Kiev solo entienden el lenguaje de las armas y al parecer es otro experimento
tipo “Chechenia” el que les viene. La versión diplomática del estilo Checheno fue lo que ya se adoptó como modelo de pacificación
en Minsk -2 y los alemanes acaban de nominar a Rusia como garante de esos
acuerdos. Tic-Tac .. Tic-Tac: el neo-nazismo está condenado a desaparecer y será
con o sin el aval de EU. Ms. Merkel dijo “Hope is good, even esencial.. but hope is not enough” (WSJ. Friday 13-15: Doubt Clouds Ukraine Truce). Porochenko no los va a poder
sacar.. se requiere la ayuda de Rusia. Los americanos no tienen vela en este
entierro.. a menos que quieran cavar también su sepultura. El Ex –Embajador de EU a NATO, Ivo Daadler reconoció la
habilidad de Putin. En el viaje a Moscu de Ms. Merkel y Mr. Hollande días antes
del evento en Minsk, dijo, se puso las cartas sobre la mesa y “Putin tuvo todas
las cartas consigo”. (WSJ: “Hopes for Cease-Fire Deal Exceed Expectations”,
Friday 13-15). El solo hecho de haber sacado a EU del
evento en Minsk, fue ya un paso decisivo. La victoria de Putin en Minsk solo
significa que Europa empieza a ver luz al final del túnel y entiende que su
futuro está mejor asegurado en alianza con Rusia y China que con los timadores
de EU, esos que infestaron sus finanzas. La transición empieza con el evento de
Minsk, se abre asi un nuevo camino.. querrán desviar el tren de su nueva ruta y
este avanzará a pesar de las trampas violentistas de los neo-nazis que financia
EU.. el tren tiene ya ruta propia y nada que ver con la tiranía de banqueros mafiosos..
los anglo-americanos, sionistas y saudis]
