So the prime minister of Crimea has a sense of humor — and he unleashed it at the White House on Monday, sending out a mocking Photoshopped photograph of President Obama wearing a Russian military uniform.

Crimean Prime Minister mocks Obama in faked Russian uniform on Twitter
Via Daily Timewaster
And the accompanying translated text — take or leave a couple of pronouns — that’s attributed from Sergey Aksyonov,
as reported by The Huffington Post: “Interestingly, after the success
of the company in returning Crimea, Barack is getting the rank of
colonel?”
Re-Post 2012: Michael Collins and the Eight Hundred Year Occupation
Via WRSA
“Realists appealed to Collins. There would be no more glorious protests in arms, he decided. He built a cadre of realists around him, first in the IRB, then at Volunteer headquarters, where he took over Pearse’s old post as Director of Organization before becoming Director of Intelligence, finally in Dáil Eireann, as the underground government’s very effective Minister for Finance. Collins was a doer. Essentially a well-informed opportunist with very few scruples, his entire ideology could be stated in five words: ‘The Irish should govern themselves.’”
Michael Collins was a tough young Irish operative during the seminal years of Eire’s final divorce from the United Kingdom at the beginning of the twentieth century. This paper will attempt to discover if Collins was the culminating point that brought Number Ten Downing Street to the negotiation table, stared down Winston Churchill and came home with the solution for Irish independence from the British Crown.
Ireland was invaded and occupied the British crown in 1169 and suffered a brutal occupation punctuated by indigenous risings, rebellions and pockets of resistance. Sinn Féin emerged in 1905 to formalize a political vehicle to liberate the Irish from the British occupation. These sophisticated rebel organizations started to emerge in the in the 19th and 20th century, culminating in the 1916 Easter Rising which led to the mismatch and overreach that would be the undoing of English rule over the Irish.
Michael Collins would emerge as the premier guerrilla leader during the crucial struggle between 1916 and 1922. He embodied the early germination of the non-state soldier as a twentieth century variation on the age-old warrior in history and fought in Ireland under a variety of covers and positions within the political hierarchy of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB). Collins would fight for the next four years culminating on Bloody Sunday on 21 November 1920.

-- Sean Cronin, “Irish Nationalism: A History of its Roots and Ideology”
“The characteristics which mark Collins out as a
remarkably successful Director of Intelligence during the War of
Independence include his evident appreciation of the importance of the
collection and assessment of information as primary elements of
intelligence operations which should precede action; his partial
penetration of his adversary’s own intelligence system; the efficiency
and ruthlessness with which action based on good intelligence was taken;
and his success in preserving the security and efficiency of his own
organization both in Dublin and in Britain despite the pressures it
operated under because of the constant threat of raids, arrests and the
capture of documents.”
--Eunan O’Halpin, “Collins and Intelligence: 1919-1923 From Brotherhood to Bureaucracy” (in the anthology Michael Collins and the Making of the Irish State)

Islam, a pagan and utterly depraved, sadistic religion: Christians' throats slit in pagan slaughterhouse
Video footage reveals systematic execution of victims
Editor’s Note: EXTREME CAUTION ADVISED: The videos linked and embedded in this story are extremely graphic, showing brutal executions, and the bodies of those killed in those executions.
After exposing videos of “ritual human sacrifices” of Christians by Muslims, a former Palestinian Liberation Organization member-turned-Christian has discovered a new set of shocking videos that show human slaughterhouses in which non-Muslims are executed.
The videos, posted by Walid Shoebat, and his son, Theodore Shoebat, are horrific, showing heads neatly lined up against a wall and bodies suspended by their feet in a room.
Also shown is the testimony of a witness who was threatened with being “sacrificed.”
“I have never seen something like this,” Shoebat told WND. “I have been investigating this story for the past two weeks. The story is probably the most horrific I have ever [done]. It proves with footage actual systematic [sl]aughterhouses of human beings, including Christians in Syria.”
The witness video, translated by Shoebat’s organization, Rescue Christians, includes the testimony of Saif Al-Adlubi, who inexplicably was identified for “sacrifice” but then not killed before government soldiers arrived.

National Emergency -
I defy anyone to prove that there is an actual national emergency
because of relations between Crimea and Ukraine. Obama finds “an unusual
and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of
the United States…” What threat? I defy anyone to prove that there is a
threat to the security of Americans arising from Crimea's relations
with Ukraine.

The Unravelling -
The great majority of people, who have already seen the first half of
the Great Unravelling come to pass, still somehow cannot imagine the
second half—the more disastrous half—as being in any way possible...
along the way there will be numerous surprises—actions taken by
governments that may be as unprecedented as they would be unlawful. Why?
Because, again, such actions are the norm when a government finds
itself losing its grip over the people.Jeff Thomas at caseyresearch.com
Asymmetrical politics -
The political left has always faced an uphill climb in a country in
which there are two self-identified conservatives for every
self-identified liberal. In order to succeed in this environment,
liberals have generally resorted to one of three tactics: obscuring
their true intent; pursuing through regulation and the courts what they
can't through legislation; or muzzling their critics.

Post-human ideas -
Homo progressivus does not merely hate white men, but all men and
women. Targeting humanity by race, gender or class is his method of
playing divide and conquer; pitting one group against another with the
ultimate goal of tearing down civilization to restore the world as it
was before man. Animal rights have come to follow this terrible
post-human progressive imperative.

Hope and ... um, hope -
The 11th hour has come. It's too late now, even in Kerry's 12 hour day
for a fig leaf. There'll be nothing Kerry can hide behind, no talking
point to spin. If Russia comes across, Obama's nakedness will be plain
for all to see... Kerry evidently hopes Russia will restrain itself,
since there is nothing else that will stop it. The administration is in
the position of hoping the bank robber, in this case Putin, will leave
content after only taking fifty bucks from the till. By why should he?
From the robber's point of view, the risks come in packets. Once you've
begun the hold-up, you might as well clean out the vault as leave with
$50. It's the same crime.

Hundreds of Gun Registration Forms Burned In Protest
Hundreds of Second Amendment supporters took to an upstate New York forum on the SAFE Act and promptly turned their gun registration forms into a pile of ash.
The group, known as the NY2A Grassroots Coalition, held a Safe Act Forum at the Elks Banquet Hall in Saratoga County, where they discussed the “importance of not registering firearms” with the state. Methods of circumventing the SAFE act through civil disobedience and modification to existing firearms were also discussed, a legally modified AR-15 was raffled off, and gun registration forms were burnt in protest.
The day began with Republican candidate for governor Rob Astorino, declaring at a Saratoga gun show that he “will repeal the SAFE Act.”
