What about the European partners? Instead of offering Ukraine real support, there is talk about a declaration of intent. There are only promises that are not backed by any real actions. The European Union is using Ukraine’s economy as a source of raw foodstuffs, metal and mineral resources, and at the same time, as a market for selling its highly-processed ready-made commodities (machine engineering and chemicals), thereby creating a deficit in Ukraine’s trade balance amounting to more than 10 billion US dollars...

As reported, the organization of reverse gas supplies through Slovakia would allow the supply to Ukraine from the EU in this direction of up to 20 billion cubic meters of gas.

All Africa: Guinea - Mobilisation Against an Unprecedented Ebola Epidemic
News Pinnacle: Ebola, Corruption and the Misery of the Liberian People
New England Journal of Medicine: Emergence of Zaire Ebola Virus Disease in Guinea — Preliminary Report
In March 2014, the World Health Organization was notified of an outbreak of a communicable disease characterized by fever, severe diarrhea, vomiting, and a high fatality rate in Guinea. Virologic investigation identified Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV) as the causative agent. Full-length genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis showed that EBOV from Guinea forms a separate clade in relationship to the known EBOV strains from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Gabon. Epidemiologic investigation linked the laboratory-confirmed cases with the presumed first fatality of the outbreak in December 2013. This study demonstrates the emergence of a new EBOV strain in Guinea.

- USAID official in Guyana expelled as a U.S. intelligence agent operating under USAID cover. USAID agent Glen Bradbury, a Canadian, ran Leadership and Democracy Project, which is aimed at overthrowing President Donald Ramotar. Obama must be getting lessons from Kissinger.
- USAID ZunZuneo operations in Costa Rica, Cayman Islands, and Spain aimed at creating "smart mobs" in Cuba to protest against Cuban government. This template is used around the world. USAID is and always has been a CIA front.
- Longtime Chavez ally and former head of Venezuelan intelligence assassinated in Caracas. More CIA handiwork.
- U.S. entraps son of Suriname's President Desi Bouterse. Bouterse was targeted by Obama's Mama Stanley on behalf of her CIA employers in the 80s. Obama's war against Bouterse is mafia-like score-settling. U.S. ambassador Jay Anania is another CIA interventionist envoy who Bouterse has threatened to expel from Paramaribo.
- Bolivia's Morales says U.S. backs Venezuelan civil war for the country's oil. Well, we've never done that before, now, have we?

Boiling Frogs Post: Examining the Turkish False Flag Leak - The Eye Opener
John Kerry is said to be putting the release of Jonathan Pollard on the table in Isreali-Palastinian talks. From one very familiar with the details of the Pollard case, Wayne Madsen:
Journalists Glenn Greenwald and Russ Baker have alleged that convicted
and imprisoned U.S. spy for Israel Jonathan Pollard, federal prisoner ID
number #09185-016, did not do any great harm to the national security
of the United States. Greenwald, speaking on Israeli television, agreed
with those who are calling for Pollard to be granted clemency...
Baker, writing for his WhoWhatWhy.com website implies that Pollard received unfair treatment and, therefore, should be released as other "Americans accused of spying in foreign countries have been sent home and reunited with their families." This is a specious argument. The United States continues to imprison such notorious spies as John Walker and Robert Hanssen. There is no well-spring of support from any U.S. lobby supported by Russia for these two agents for the Soviet KGB to be granted clemency and sent to Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, or some other former republic of the Soviet Union. But, as with anything having to do with Israel, the rules are always different. Pollard, a committed Zionist who transferred enough documents to Israel that could fill a normal home garage -- some of which were transferred to the KGB by Israel for increased quotas of Soviet Jewish emigrés to Israel -- caused as much harm to America's security as either Walker or
Hanssen, both of whom are serving life sentences as is Pollard...
This editor, as someone who participated closely in the damage assessment report on Pollard's treason on behalf of the U.S. Navy and NSA, can confidently declare that those who soft-pedal Pollard's harm to the United States simply have no idea what they're going on about...
As the person in charge of computer and communications center security for the U.S. Naval Telecommunications Command (NAVTELCOM), I was asked to ensure that an inventory was conducted of all communications security (COMSEC) material at the Naval Communications Center at Suitland. Fortunately, the security manager at the communications facility had already identified Pollard as a security risk and he was never permitted access to cryptographic keying material or other COMSEC information. However, the security manager had reported Pollard to his superiors as a risk. Pollard never lost his security clearance because he claimed that his co-workers were "anti-Semitic." NISC's command staff decided it was not worth pulling Pollard's security access if he posed a danger of going public with "anti-Semitism" allegations. Political, government, and military careers in Washington have been ruined by those who have glibly used the "anti-Semitism" canard as a weapon of defamation.
The fact that Pollard's espionage for Israel involved others inside the Reagan administration was reported by Bob Woodward in a February 19, 1988 article in The Washington Post. Woodward reported that FBI and other investigators involved in the Pollard case were focusing in on someone Woodward, using his expected "Deep Throat" jargon, referred to as "Mr. X."
"Mr. X" was described by Woodward as a high-level Israeli mole inside the U.S. military-intelligence establishment who tasked Pollard with acquiring specific classified documents for transmittal to Israel. Pollard followed through in his tasking, providing SECRET, TOP SECRET, and SENSITIVE COMPARTMENTED INFORMATION (SCI) documents, many of which were marked WNINTEL (Warning Notice -- Intelligence Sources or Methods Involved) to the Israelis. Some of the U.S. sources were carefully-developed CIA assets inside the defense, intelligence, interior, telecommunications, and science/research ministries of a number of Middle Eastern countries, including Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Sudan, Libya, Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, South Yemen, Yemen, and Algeria.
After the Mossad determined from Pollard's haul the identities of these U.S. assets they approached the assets with blackmail threats: either they cooperate with Mossad and stop spying for America or their CIA connections would be turned over to their own governments. Face with such a "Catch-22" dilemma, many were forced to spy for Israel. Some planted Israeli-developed bogus intelligence with their CIA handlers, thus ensuring that the United States was blindsided in its intelligence coverage of the Middle East. The failure of the U.S. to foresee the plot to bomb PanAm 103 in 1988 was believed by U.S. intelligence analysts to have been directly caused by Pollard's treason and the compromise of U.S. assets in Syria, Iran, Cyprus, and Lebanon.
U.S. intelligence sources have told WMR that "Mr. X" was not one person but a group of ten Israeli agents-of-influence. They became known to the FBI and Defense Department investigators as the "X Committee." They included Albert Wohlstetter, one of the original neo-conservative gurus who also served on the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and who worked for RAND; Wohlstetter's RAND colleague Andrew Marshall, who carved out a lifetime job as the chief of the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment (ONA) and who continues to serve in that position in his nineties; Perle; Stephen Bryen, Perle's deputy at the Pentagon and co-founder, along with Perle, of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), a suspected Israeli intelligence cover; Henry Rowen, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs; Secretary of the Navy John Lehman; and other leading neo-conservatives, including Feith, Michael Ledeen, Paul
Wolfowitz, and Fred Iklé.
As with Feith, Bryen was caught passing classified information to the Mossad station in Washington. In Bryen's case, he was caught in 1978 passing U.S. secrets to the Mossad station chief in Washington, Zvi Rafiah...
The "Damage Assessment Memo" that was drafted by Weinberger and used to convince the judge in Pollard's trial to sentence Pollard to life imprisonment reportedly contains details of the intelligence passed by Pollard's handlers to the Soviet KGB and military GRU intelligence services. Pollard's supporters are demanding the memorandum to be declassified because they maintain it will show that Pollard was merely spying for a close U.S. ally and friend. Only if one were to believe that the USSR was a "close U.S. ally and friend" would such an argument carry any weight. However, dupes like Greenwald and Baker are convinced that Pollard's treason against the United States was in the best interests of Washington and Tel Aviv. Nothing could be further from the truth...

They included Albert Wohlstetter, one of the original neo-conservative gurus who also served on the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and who worked for RAND; Wohlstetter's RAND colleague Andrew Marshall, who carved out a lifetime job as the chief of the Pentagon's Office of Net Assessment (ONA) and who continues to serve in that position in his nineties; Perle; Stephen Bryen, Perle's deputy at the Pentagon and co-founder, along with Perle, of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), a suspected Israeli intelligence cover; Henry Rowen, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs; Secretary of the Navy John Lehman; and other leading neo-conservatives, including Feith, Michael Ledeen, Paul
Wolfowitz, and Fred Iklé.
As with Feith, Bryen was caught passing classified information to the Mossad station in Washington. In Bryen's case, he was caught in 1978 passing U.S. secrets to the Mossad station chief in Washington, Zvi Rafiah...
The "Damage Assessment Memo" that was drafted by Weinberger and used to convince the judge in Pollard's trial to sentence Pollard to life imprisonment reportedly contains details of the intelligence passed by Pollard's handlers to the Soviet KGB and military GRU intelligence services. Pollard's supporters are demanding the memorandum to be declassified because they maintain it will show that Pollard was merely spying for a close U.S. ally and friend. Only if one were to believe that the USSR was a "close U.S. ally and friend" would such an argument carry any weight. However, dupes like Greenwald and Baker are convinced that Pollard's treason against the United States was in the best interests of Washington and Tel Aviv. Nothing could be further from the truth...

In the second half, Max interviews Jim Rickards about his new book, ‘The Death of Money’. In this first of two parts, they focus on the insider trading on 9/11 and the mutually-assured financial destruction as the nuclear weapon of our day.
Max Keiser also discusses his personal knowledge of CIA executive director A. B. "Buzzy" Krongard's involvement in trades while at Alex Brown and Sons (ABS). Rickards - trying to downplay those 'crazy conspiracy theories' - admits he didn't examine the ABS trades. Would he have been published if he had? Keiser discusses these trades in greater depth on the Alex Jones Show in CIA Aware of Insider Trading Prior to 9/11: Segment I and Segment II. For more on "Buzzy" see Christopher Bollyn's 9-11 and Alvin Krongard - Israel's Agent at the CIA.

Open Secrets: FEC Will Examine Allegations Against Ron Paul Campaign
While there is a basis for dismissing this as a targeted investigation, the targeting can also be said to have come from within. Though Paul seemed at the time to be the only viable candidate worth voting for - being solidly anti-war and having openly called for the elimination of the CIA - it was inevitable that the CIA or its "secret team" associates would jump into the mix. Recall that the signs of infiltration of Paul's campaign by one highly questionable political operative, namely Trygve Olson, was reported as far back as February 2012 in the Washington Post. Justin Ramaindo of Antiwar followed up showing Olson's association with CIA-linked operations like the International Republican Institute (incidentally the IRI is also involved in the recently reported operations in Cuba) in Can Ron Paul Be Tamed? The answer to the question sadly was yes, particularly through his Achilles heel: family ties. Olson came at the recommendation of Paul's son Rand, who had hired Olson for his 2010 senatorial campaign via Mitch McConnell; while Jesse Benton, implicated in the above story and universally loathed by Paul's true believers, had literally married into the family. In the end, however "pure" Ron Paul's intentions may have been, his trusting disposition and neglect to guard against such infiltration only speaks to his incapacity for the office he was seeking. What is needed is someone with acute Machiavellian circumspection placed in the service of the over-riding mission of overthrowing the coup and restoring the republic. Keep this in mind for 2016...
