Kremlin Rules Out Handing Back Crimea to Ukraine

-




Russia said on Tuesday it would not hand back Crimea to Ukraine, despite warnings by the United States and European Union that they will not drop sanctions over the Black Sea peninsula's annexation a year ago. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters during a conference call, "There is no occupation of Crimea. Crimea is a region of the Russian Federation and of course the subject of our regions is not up for discussion." Russia's parliament approved the annexation of Crimea on March 21 last year after residents of the peninsula supported the move in a referendum. Moscow has said repeatedly it will not return it to Ukraine. Russian forces had already seized control of Crimea after the overthrow of a Ukrainian president backed by Moscow, a move described by Russian officials as a coup which threatened the safety of Crimea's mainly Russian-speaking population. U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said on Monday Washington would keep economic sanctions in place on Russia over the annexation as long as Crimea remains under Russian rule. http://bit.ly/1HXe3Li http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

Muslim Group to Charlie Hebdo: Don't Publish New Issue

-
An influential Muslim institution in Egypt has warned the French satirical magazine that was attacked by Islamist militants last week against publishing its new issue, which features a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad on its cover. Egypt's official Religious Edict Authority, known as Dar El Ifta, said the magazine, Charlie Hebdo, is unnecessarily provoking the feelings of 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide who love and respect the Prophet. Charlie Hebdo's new issue, which was sent to the presses Monday night, features on its cover a cartoon of a bug-eyed Prophet Muhammad shedding a tear and holding a sign that says Je Suis Charlie, the now-popular phrase of solidarity with the magazine. http://nbcnews.to/1DVm8yb http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ

FUKUSHIMA ..The Worst Lie That Has Ever Been Committed Against The Human Race!

OH NO!, THEY SAY! DON'T LET THE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS, BECAUSE THEN WE WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS... PROBLEMS, they say? The-Powers-That-Be are a group of sociopaths that cannot see beyond their own noses of greed, and in their haste to gather all of the world's monetary value and control, they have brought this on, with NO IDEA ON HOW TO CONTROL OR STOP IT! THEY HAVE OPENED THE PROVERBIAL PANDORA'S BOX AND NOW DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONTAIN OR STOP THE APOCALYPSE THEY HAVE CREATED. So what do we do now? I don't know, and even the world's nuclear scientists don't know. What should have been done was not, and that would have been to take over Japan when this first occured, and employ every nuclear scientist together into a think-tank, to attempt to solve it. At this point in time, if the UN did this now, it would be like trying to close the barn door AFTER the livestock has already escaped. It's too late!!! They would have us believe that the vastness of our oceans...
