Well I never would have thought.... This is the original "good source", and also the only one at the time that claimed it. http://in24.org/world/23597

jonnypeh posted:Polish official claims Egypt sold warships to Russia for $1 This was totally unexpected, who could have imagined that the proud Egyptian navy did not, in fact, need those two heli-carrier Mistrals after all and they simply acted as middlemen for the transfer to the original customer. Also I hear people claim that Libyan strongman Haftar is bankrolled by Russia, I really have no idea of the substance of that claim and it might just be bullshit.

I'll wait until it's reported by something more credible than a Polish official, because come on, have you looked at Polish officials lately?

This is the same government that's exhuming the victims of the Smolensk plane crash including the dead president and his wife to prove this minister's crackpot theory about a conspiracy between Putin and former Polish PM current European Council President Donald Tusk to assassinate a president that was down 15 point in the polls in an election year.

I saw a YouTube recently suggesting that the reason Putin mysteriously disappeared recently was to let a feud between Kadyrov and an oligarch cool down without choosing a side. Any truth to this?

So the parliamentary elections in Lithuania have now come and gone. Lithuanian Peasant and Greens Union has crushed and destroyed traditional parties claiming over a 3rd of the seats in the parliament (54 out of 141), overtaking the Homeland Union (Conservatives and Christian Democrats) party (31 seats), Lithuanian Socialdemocratic Party (17 seats) and the Lithuanian Liberal Movement (14 seats). The rest are what the locals call "the crazies": * Lithuanian Polish Election Movement - Christian family Union (8 seats) [ Polish minority basically ] * Party Law and Order ( 8 seats ) [ Party dedicated to "revive" the reputation of an impeached president ] * Independednt candidates (4 seats) * Worker's party ( 2 seats ) [ A basically dead party ] * Anticorruptional coalition of N.Puteikis and K.Krivickas (1 seat) [Yup, thats the name, they were thinking about even a longer one with many names in it] * Lithuanion Greens Party ( 1 seat ) [ Similar to the winners, but more radical and they're not even hippies... ] * Political Party "Lithuanian List" ( 1 seat ) [ Completely boring people that noone really knows anything about ] What the winners have planned for now: * Create a state wide alcohol monopoly * Bring national clothing as "standard" clothing in schools * Have "professionals" in the government (prime minister and other ministers) that have no affiliation with parties and can be controlled from the parliament Talks are currently held in the presidential palace to decided on who will be forming the new government. If all goes well, you won't have to go to Utah to see an Amish Paradise. VoltairePunk fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Oct 24, 2016 |

It's hard to place or describe the context of these "professionals" for example, but to give something to think about is: They think a farmer that went against being able to sell land to foreigners, against atomic energy, who never even could construct a proper argument against these ideas as "the best candidate for being a prime minister".

The news the past few hours in Ukraine are the leaked Surkov emails. Live UA Map has a summary of what is contained in them. Looks like lots of correspondence between Surkov and the Kremlin months before the end of EuroMaidan. https://twitter.com/ServiceSsu/status/790879690789679104 https://twitter.com/Liveuamap/status/790922805986615296 https://twitter.com/Mortis_Banned/status/790996956722102273 #SurkovLeaks on Twitter.

 "Historical memory becomes an object of "targeted destructive actions from foreign state structures and international organizations, conducting geopolitical activity against Russian Federation."" - Russia's Security Council's experts during talks on preparation to 100-year anniversary of the Russian Revolution.E: Overnight someone tried to blow up a lawyer office in Naberzhnye Chelny. Lawyers of the office went to court in August after they were attacked by a group of thugs, featuring armed OMON troopers, during their meeting with a local entrepreneur, who hired them to be represented in a conflict with another local entrepreneur.

As the new Polish government has replaced all undesirables in senior positions in government-controlled companies the new managers need to show their initiative... by buying a mass, or maybe whole ceremony where they entrust the company to Mary, mother of God.  Next stop: hiring priests as managers of conscience and showing stamps from church on monday meetings. Also Smolensk rememberance once a week.
