North East coast of America on unprecedented lockdown: 60million people hit by shutdown as roads, tunnels, trains, bridges and businesses brought to standstill and THREE FEET of snow threatens country's most densely-populated areas --Driving bans, threats of arrest, canceled planes, closed railways and metro systems and tunnels froze giant cities | 27 Jan 2015 | Tens of millions of Americans were caught in an unprecedented blizzard lockdown today, with residents of five states effectively banned from going outside as states of emergency were declared. A storm threatening to dump three feet of snow from New Jersey to Massachusetts prompted states of emergency to be declared, with metro systems in New York City and Boston shut, and threats of 500 fines for drivers on roads which were barred in the evening to all but emergency vehicles. A fifth of the population of the U.S. was advised to shelter from the storm, with a large swath of New York state, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and Massachusetts forced from the roads by driving bans to make room for plows, police and ambulances. Governors and mayors told people to stay for all but the most vital reasons, while panicked residents cleaned out stores in anticipation of days trapped behind huge drifts of snow before the rigorous emergency measures kicked in.

Jeffrey Sterling, 47, of O'Fallon, Mo., was convicted of nine counts of unauthorized disclosure of national defense information and other related charges for leaking materials that prosecutors said put lives at risk and compromised one of the U.S. government's few mechanisms to deter Iran's [alleged] nuclear aspirations.

Putin: Ukraine army is NATO legion aimed at restraining Russia | 26 Jan 2015 | The Ukrainian army is essentially a 'NATO legion' which doesn't pursue the national interests of Ukraine, but persists to restrict Russia, President Vladimir Putin says. "We often say: Ukrainian Army, Ukrainian Army. But who is really fighting there? There are, indeed, partially official units of armed forces, but largely there are the so-called 'volunteer nationalist battalions'," said Putin. He added that the intention of Ukrainian troops is connected with "achieving the geopolitical goals of restraining Russia." Putin was addressing students in the city of St. Petersburg.

Ukraine: The Rise of the Right --'To become an Azov fighter you have to be a proper white man'. --Azov Battalion fighter | 20 Jan 2015 | Ukraine's bloody conflict against pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country has led to thousands of deaths - but it faces a new fight against the rapid rise of far right groups. BAFTA-winning filmmaker Ross Kemp saw first-hand how militias, made up of football hooligans and current and former soldiers, are now fighting on the front line...Senior members of the Azov Battalion have now been given influential positions within Petro Poroshenko's government. Its commander, Andriy Biletsky, is believed to be in charge of two neo-Nazi political groups, and has been elected to serve in Ukraine's parliament while the battalion itself has been integrated into the country's National Guard. Differences between Ukraine's far right groups have been put aside as the fighting continues, though one fighter -- a teacher and psychologist -- told Kemp that to become an Azov fighter you had to be "a proper white man. You can be nationalist, you can be fascist or national socialist. It's not the main thing. Our future is a war - a war with Russia."

CDC lies: Measles outbreaks confirmed among children already vaccinated | 13 Jan 2015 | Official reports are claiming that unvaccinated children are to blame [for the Disneyland measles outbreak] because some of those who contracted the measles hadn't been vaccinated. Some of them had been vaccinated, of course, and the original source of the disease has yet to be determined. But like always, it is automatically those individuals who choose not to inject their bodies with a vaccine linked to brain damage and autism -- and that's been shown to spread the measles -- that must have triggered the outbreak. The interesting thing about this latest measles outbreak is that the media is parading it around as evidence that not getting vaccinated triggers disease outbreaks, even though the original source of the disease is unknown. It is entirely possible that a vaccinated person spread the disease to both vaccinated and unvaccinated people, which in and of itself shows the lack of effectiveness of vaccines.
