Report released on the investments by companies and institutions in Cluster Bomb munition producers

7 UK firms finance globally banned cluster bombs CMC member organisation PAX published a report on companies and institutions that have invested in the globally banned cluster bombs which are being used in places like Ukraine and Syria. Even in Laos almost 50 years since the bombs were dropped are still effecting residents of the surrounding areas to this very day. In the report it highlights financial institutions that have invested in the cluster bomb manufacturers. The report also hightlights those institutions that have disinvested from cluster bomb producers and subsequently established clear policies that make sure no more investments would be made in the future by the institution. The report was first published on 29 October 2009, and subsequent updates were published on 14 April 2010, 25 May 2011, 12 June 2012, and 12 December 2013. The report lists institutions who have been investing in these munitions from 2011 to 2014. 7 of those institutions are British and include insurance companies to asset management companies all come up in the ‘Worldwide Investments In Cluster Munitions’ report. International laws state these weapons are illegal to use because they are indiscriminate in nature which does not differentiate between fighter or civilian. Unexploded left overs usually is left after the detonation of one of these bombs leading to deaths not only of those hit by the bomb but also those who may happen to live in the surrounding area in some cases decades later like in Laos.

Brisbane G20 Total Lock Down Of Peoples Lives... Nothing to see here but Kualas.

As we watched the G20 take place in Australia you will have noticed MSM(Main Stream Media) was none stop with its Putin mania and Abbots comment that he would "shirt front" president Putin. Maybe you also got to see the Kuala bears the MSM turned the G20 into a complete circus with its coverage, They neglected to really talk about what was being discussed among the world leaders and about the problems we face today. First off we need to talk about the preparations for the summit. Just like we see everywhere and anywhere this summit takes place the surrounding areas or even the whole city is deemed a security zone huge fences are erected steel cages hundreds of police, secret service you name it. The city comes to a stand still and as the article "12 ways G20 Has Turned Brisbane Into a Orwellian Wasteland" states "Police are in total control" Buzzfeed news actually ordered an "Ubercade" just like the motorcade you would usually see at such an event a president or a prime minister, anyway they did this and found exactly what we have come to expect of the the growing global police state complete shutdown of peoples day to day lives. They describe being at several protests during the day while they drove around Brisbane in this "Ubercade" explaining that police heavily outweighed protestors and that any undesirables were swiftly taken care off by the local robocop. Many people actually packed up and left Brisbane because of the G20 coming, they new it would disrupt normal life for however long needed. These type of measures are increasingly the norm during such events and the people don't like it they are angry and rightfully so. In my article the ' The World is Entering a Multi-polar Phase in Global Governance' i talked about the rise of the BRICS nations and indeed since that article many developments have taken place it seemed the BRICS nations stole the show during the summit. The rise of the BRICS is a very real rival to U.S. hegemony and dominance. Chinese President Xi Jinping added that BRICS cooperation should not only boost the global economy, but also ensure global peace. As seen in Syria when Russia and China stood up to another illegal war being pushed by certain establishments and individuals within those establishments this was for me the first clear sign of opposition rising. The U.S. president and his cohorts sat and discussed how else to put pressure on Russia during the summit instead of working on real solutions to very real issues, Obama was more interested in facing down his rival or trying to... The rise of the BRICS and a clear rival to the Petro dollar system is seen as a major threat by those who need to maintain the status quo for their own benefit. No matter what those MSM outlets who fail to acknowledge the facts and would rather portray a false reality to the public will and are gradually loosing the information war. The rise of this opposition does not stop with the BRICS and those in high places. People right across the world have been rising, pockets of resistance have sprung up all over the globe against the status quo the people are crying out for change. We need to realize no matter how much we may think we hate all politicians or all establishments we need to be realistic and understand those in power can be a force for good "actions speak louder than words" yes they do a balance is needed in our world and the BRICS is bringing that balance. A new world order is upon us but as i have said before it is up to us the people what type of order do we want, the people have decided this order is not working for our world people are dieing daily inequality is the worst it has ever been. Change is upon us we the people must keep the pressure going keeping up the good work fighting the information war daily fighting the lies and bias untruth of those MSM who look to deceive the people “If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” ― Malcolm X

The Continuation Of Military Use By U.S. Armed Forces And CIA Needs To Be Brought To An End In Ireland

Some may not already know this but for well over a decade armed forces of the U.S. have been using Shannon Airport as a stop off point before continuing on to their bastions in Europe and the Middle East, Indeed Ireland itself is becoming one of these bastions, well over 2 million U.S. troops have passed through Ireland to fight illegal wars and conflicts around the world. Not only is Shannon being used as a staging post for the U.S. armed forces but is also being used for operations associated with the CIA and its 'extraordinary rendition program' The use of Shannon Airport by U.S. forces means Ireland is complicit and has been complicit in these conflicts which has seen millions of innocent men women and children perish, from Iraq to Afghanistan to Libya, this list is endless. This is a stain on the Irish nation and it needs to be addressed, of course we have had many people who have stood up and have even went to jail trying to highlight this most well known being 79 year old peace activist Margaretta D'Arcy, in which during her trial she tried to make a citizens arrest of the judge for collaborating in war crimes. D'Arcy was also convicted in 2012 for peacefully opposing the use of Shannon airport by U.S. military by blocking two flights from landing at Shannon. At the time of the protest, Galway Alliance Against War issued the following statement. Over the past twelve years consecutive Irish governments have colluded in Washington’s campaign of wars from Afghanistan to Yemen, in which up to 2 million people have perished. By allowing the US military to use Irish airspace and Shannon airport to wage these wars we have become a willing accessory to mass murder. We have blood on our hands…we feel we have no alternative but to block the runway at Shannon to highlight Irish involvement in this carnage. Not only is the complicity of Ireland in these wars immoral it is in violation of aviation, human rights and international law. In a Booklet 'Shannon Airport, War and Renditions' which was jointly published by Shannonwatch, The Peace And Neutrality Alliance(PANA) and The Irish Anti-War Movement(IAWM) highlights these violations... The booklet outlines four key areas in which the Irish authorities are deemed to be inefficient: The application of aviation law in relation to the transportation of munitions of war and other explosive substances Suspected breaches of international and European human rights law, as well as domestic Irish law, in relation to known and suspected involvement in rendition Possible breaches of international humanitarian law Policy and practice relating to the concept of Irish neutrality In 2011 alone a total 1,142 'Civilian Planes' with munitions on board landed at Shannon airport this was revelad in answer to a question posed by Sinn Fein TD Padraig Mac Lochlainn Shannonwatch, the organization which monitors foreign military use of Shannon airport and campaigns against it, said the figures “make a mockery of the notion of Irish neutrality”. On its website, a spokesperson is quoted as saying: “Like Kuwait and Kyrgyzstan, Ireland and Shannon have now become staging posts for US invasions and occupation. “The figures make a mockery of the notion of Irish neutrality, and show that successive governments have relinquished all interest in maintaining an independent Irish foreign policy.” John Lannon, the booklet’s author, says the use of Shannon Airport has contributed to suffering and human rights abuse for over a decade: “The consistent disregard for national and international laws has meant that Shannon has been directly involved in the suffering and death of innocent people – from men tortured in Guantanamo Bay, to children in Afghanistan who are injured or orphaned by airstrikes and roadside bombs.” These operations being carried out are not sanctioned by the Irish people but of a few who are in the back pockets of the U.S. and E.U. whatever the puppet masters say goes, but there is only so far you can push a people before they begin to rise and this is what we may very well be seeing in Ireland today. End Ireland's Complicity In These Crimes Against Humanity Now Ireland Says NO!

The subjugation of Ukraine goes on living standards in decline, economic terrorism? And the brutal crushing of dissent....

Nearly 5 months after the military were given the go ahead by illegally installed Prime minister Yatsinych to launch what he called "Terror operations" against Self Defense Militias of the DPR we are seeing escalations both in the information war being fought thru-out the web and the airwaves, the war being fought on the ground with accusations being flung around by officials in the West and Kiev, nearly all of which have been shown to be nothing but just that accusations.

Most recent accusation being that a Russian armoured military convoy crossed the Ukraine border and was subsequently destroyed, the National Security And Defense Council of Ukraine said they had confirmed "A part of the column does not exist now" but did not elaborate further on what had actually taken place if anything at all as no evidence so far has been presented.

On Thursday the 15th two foreign journalists said they had seen a convoy of Russian army vehicles cross the border. Pictures were then posted later on a social networking site but with no information of where and when they were taken, but that has not stopped the war talk from the usual culprits in the media running with the narrative of Kiev without properly verifying the information. We have seen this before also with the MH17 tragedy and the lack of clear evidence for certain accusations.

If the recent history of the US state department is anything to go by this could be another escalation in their eyes that Russia is indeed invading Ukraine, without evidence of course, well not the evidence that would usually be credible in a normal court but trial by media shall continue it seems.

Valery Chaly, deputy head of Poreshenko's said "A huge military convoy accompanied by Russian soldiers and equipment

was moving towards the Ukrainian border, allegedly by agreement with the Red Cross,"

"A humanitarian column with 'peacekeepers' was to enter the territory of Ukraine, clearly to provoke a full-scale conflict,"

Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, dismissed the statement by Chaly as untrue.

"Each time Kiev is more and more inventive in creating fairy tales," she said, noting that special protocols had to be completed before Russian troops could be sent abroad.

"The (Ukrainian) National Guard probably have to report about their achievements in the field, so they pretended they have some," she said.

Chaly said Poroshenko held urgent talks with his security chiefs and world leaders, though he did not specify which ones. Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin said separately he had called his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov who had assured him the convoy would be stopped.

"As of now, the danger of provocation has been removed, but operational staff continue to work," Chaly said.

Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Ministry, dismissed the statement by Chaly as untrue.

"Each time Kiev is more and more inventive in creating fairy tales,"

Economic Subjugation Of The Ukrainian People

Soon after the illegal and unconstitutional overthrow of the democratically elected Yanukovych government with much from US funded NGO’s and Far right Neo Nazi groups. The new government came to power which included a number of the Far-Right Ultra nationalists taking key positions with Arseniy Petrovych Yatsenyuk at the helm began the wholesale of Ukraine.

Secretary of state Victoria Nulan was quoted as saying "the US invested $5 billion into so called "pro democracy" NGO's inside Ukraine, we have seen the same scenario play out across the globe in recent years, Libya,Syria,Venezuela the list is endless, opposition being supported in order to cause social unrest and ultimately revolution inside Independent sovereign nations which is against international law.

After the long drawn Maidan protests which seen major violence on Maidan square came to a head deals were struck with the IMF and world banks, these deals look to subdue the working class of Ukraine with cuts right across the board, indeed it seems Ukraine could and most probably will end up like that of the economy of Greece or worse.

The International monetary fund announced on March 27th that they had reached a tentative loan agreement“financial lifeline” to Ukraine worth $14 -18bln over a 2 year period, one of the first reforms made was to heighten the price of natural gas, President Barack Obama called the deal a “major step forward” that will “meet the needs of Ukrainian people over the long term.” This of course could not be further from the truth as i will explain now...

This loan may have been heralded as a "major step forward" by president Obama but what he didn't mention is that the loan agreement came with demands for "economic reforms", which has usually translated into austerity measures like that seen in Europe, and as in Europe the working class will be bearing the brunt of the measures, It's exactly these kind of imposition of conditions that led to the European Network of Debt and Development to call for reform inside the IMF itself.

Unlike in Europe the IMF conditions for Ukraine will not include debt relief, this agreement and its so called success all hinges on cuts to subsidies and social services. Prices will rise nearly 30% on all imported goods due to the devaluation of the  hryvnia, all of this combined will lead to the further drop in living standards inside Ukraine and will push even more people into poverty,  according to economists. “I don’t think half the population will live below the poverty line, but the majority of the population will be worse off economically—that’s understood,” Kiselyov said.

“Ukrainians differ from the Portuguese and the Greeks because they don’t have many savings left,” Koltashov said. “Wages now in Ukraine are, as a rule, not enough to feed a family, and the devaluation of the hryvnia will make it totally impossible.”

The Revolution won, but the people lost

The Ukraine government it seems is not interested in the slightest about its people in regards to life and liberty all of this is not for the benefit of the people, the government seeks to pay back its buddies at the expense of the nation, we have seen moves in the energy sector by western firms to try and move in on a piece of the pie, Crimea was the jewel in the crown with its vast reserves of natural gas just off shore in the Black Sea, the people of Crimea decided they would be better off back with Russia and voted as such.

If it was not bad enough that the wholesale of natural resources in Ukraine is well underway, the country owes European banks a reportedly 23 billion in unpaid loans, and also outstanding loans of $1.5 billion with US banks. The only winners in all of this are the multi national corporations that stand to gain from privatization of the states assets that have not yet already been sold off.

Indeed this all seems to me to be leading to people becoming more and more disinfrantized with the whole "Maidan Revolution" and those that have came to power because of it, poverty caused by these loans could and may very well come back to bite Kiev, dissent is being crushed from Kiev to Donetsk, and it is not just the “pro russians” feeling the brunt, camps that have stayed in Maidan square were tore down by heavies of the government, some scuffles occurred and a few handbags swung but no one killed this time, but it certainly shows us a picture of a country in turmoil far from the rose tinted narrative of the Mainstream or officials in the EU and US, as long as the "Terror operations" in the East and the wholesale of state assets and national resources continue slaughter of innocent civilians and the rape of a country Ukraine will find itself shattered  literally.

Recent Updates 17.08.2014:

Kiev is claiming to have gotten the upper hand in the key city of Luhansk with pictures being pocted on twitter of what looked like a Ukrainian flag being raised above a police station in the Zhovtneviy neighbourhood of the city, the picture could not be independently vereified.

Officials in Kiev allege to have pushed a contingent of self defense members out of the city itself, they say they have nearly encircled their strongholds of Donetsk and Luhansk and have taken over control of the road between the two cities, this is denied by self defense militias in the area.

Alexander Zakharchenko, prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, said over the weekend that rebels were in the process of receiving some 150 armoured vehicles, including 30 tanks, and 1,200 fighters trained in Russia to launch a major counter-offensive.

A spokesman for the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine said: “We have information that rebels used their routes, which are not under the control of the Ukrainian army, and got some ammunition and troops that came across from the Russian Federation. We can’t say the exact numbers, we’re checking this information.”

A Russian convoy carrying humanitarian aid for the people most affected by the turmoil in the East of the country, the Kiev government claimed that Russia was in the middle of pulling a "Trojan Horse" type stunt to try and invade Ukraine under the guise of humanitarian aid but there is nothing to suggest this to be the case but it's of my opinion the Kiev government knew this anyway.

The Minister of Social Policy in Ukraine signed an order officially recognizing the convoy  as humanitarian aid cargo of the International Red Cross that is currently on the border of Ukraine.

"In accordance with Articles 4 and 5 of the Law of Ukraine 'On Humanitarian Aid' considering the initiative of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko on receiving humanitarian aid within the framework of international humanitarian missions under the auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to recognize the cargo as humanitarian aid,” the document reads.

Supervising the delivery of the humanitarian aid to Ukraine will be the ICRC, the convoy will go ahead after it receives some security guarantees from both the warring sides in the country.
