Small news that can turn big

Sorry that the sources are not in English, but I can´t find anything about these apparently small, but potentially highly explosive issues in English-language media:

Source O Globo: US Ambrassador has been pronounced a person 'non grata' by Bolivian President Evo Morales link

President Medvedev has openly accused United States of pretty much scamming and defrauding the whole world : link

Nicaragua is about to break the stalemate and to openly recongnize independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia: link

Sorry, i don´t understand russian, but regarding Nicaragua, they have already recognized the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia link
Nicaragua has recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia, backing Russia's stance on the breakaway Georgian regions and siding with other leftist Latin American nations to defy Washington.
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, a former leftist guerrilla leader who had close ties to Moscow during the Cold War, has criticized Georgia's attempt to regain control of South Ossetia and supported a counterattack by Russia.

Venezuela and Cuba have sided with Russia in the dispute, but Ortega went further in fully recognizing the regions' independence. "The government of Nicaragua recognizes the independence of the republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia and we are completely with the Russian government's position," Ortega said in a speech late on Tuesday.

I think this is astounding news which could turn big!

30 Million Will See 9/11 Truth Documentary "ZERO" On Russian State Television Sept. 11

The Daily Paul wrote:Pushing for an international tribunal

Chiesa, one of Italy's most respected journalists and a La Stampa foreign correspondent for more than 20 years, told his Berlin audience an 9/11 international tribunal could serve a useful purpose.

"If feelings were strong enough a positive result could be obtained, but it would not happen immediately. So far it's been the US administration that has won the information fight and obtained their result -- unfortunately," Chiesa said. "Our task is to inform millions of people of the true situation.

Everybody should be involved in this struggle with a tribunal or
commission helping once we win approval for the idea," he said.

In an interview with German news agency dpa, Chiesa, a European
parliamentary deputy, said Russian television is to give prime time airing to his film on the eve of this week's seventh anniversary of the attacks in New York and Washington.

"That means that some 30 million Russian citizens will learn the truth about what happened, which is a very big result for me."


Chiesa, whose documentary was first screened to a large German audience at the Goethe Institute in Munich in May, was clearly delighted at his reception in Berlin. "It's important that so many people have shown up," he said.


Ivashov, Chiesa, Meyssan, Russian Experts To Debate 9-11 On Russian TV Friday

Webster Tarpley wrote:The host for the debate stressed that this landmark telecast did not imply that the Kremlin administration of President Medvedev and Prime Minister Putin was officially espousing any particular point of view concerning 9/11, but rather reflected a commitment to free and open debate. Nevertheless, observers in the Russian capital sense a far-reaching change of mood by the Russian government in the wake of the August 7-8 genocidal attack on South Ossetia by the Georgian dictator and US satellite Saakashvili. The Russians, according to this view, are through with doing favors for the US, especially in regard to Washington's official myths about 9/11 and the war on terror, and this telecast will deliver that message in a clear and unmistakable way.


Can't wait to see the Youtube version with English subs. Seems like the comments of a former Russian Army Commander on the events of 911 would be of interest to anyone who has been following recent geopolitical events in Central Asia.

That's huge.

Sounds to me like the Russian government is grooming their citizens through the media for conflict in the future 8O

This is freaky.... but yes, our government has taken a wrong turn somewhere down the line.

Funny because the number one and fieriest "enemy" of the empire started to make some noise out of that issue, 30 months ago and then ..... silence.

Perhaps george is right and hugo aknowledges the falling of all the buildings to terrorists attacks. Including WTC7! link
