The non elected EU thives and delapidators ...

Baghdad, Iraq (CNN) -- A small group of U.S. special forces have been on Iraq's Mount Sinjar carrying out what U.S. officials told CNN on Wednesday was an assessment of the humanitarian crisis where thousands of minority Yazidis are trapped by extremist fighters.

The group spent 24 hours on the mountain trying to determine just how many Yazidis are there and the conditions they face, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The revelation follows news the United States deployed 130 military advisers to get a firsthand look at the humanitarian crisis unfolding as ISIS fighters threaten Iraq's ethnic and religious minorities: Yazidis, Christians and Kurds.

Nowhere is the crisis more evident than Mount Sinjar, where as many as 40,000 minority Yazidis are hiding after fleeing the advance of fighters with the Islamic State, formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, on the town of Sinjar.

CNN first learned about the U.S. military operation on Tuesday but withheld the information at the request of U.S. officials out of concern for the safety of the troops. CNN did not report about the operation until the troops left the mountain.

News of the American troops came the same day a senior ISIS commander told CNN that ISIS fighters abducted more than 100 Yazidi women and children from Sinjar. The ISIS commander, who has knowledge of the events that unfolded, said the fighters killed a large number of men when they took over the town more than a week ago. "At that time, they took Yazidi women and children, and I can confirm those women and children have entered Mosul," the commander said by telephone. "...The Islamic State is taking this opportunity to call them to Islam."

What to know about ISIS : While CNN cannot independently confirm the claim, it follows previous reports by survivors who describe ISIS fighters grabbing families and separating the men from the women and children. The plight of the Yazidis, coupled with the ISIS assault against Iraq's semiautonomous Kurdish region, prompted the United States to begin targeted airstrikes over the past several days. The aim, according to U.S. President Barack Obama, is to help protect U.S. personnel in the area and to destroy ISIS positions around the mountains to ease the threat to minority groups. President Barack Obama this week ordered nearly 130 advisers to the Kurdish capital of Irbil to assess the humanitarian crisis, and U.S. officials say it's likely that a small number of them will travel to the mountain area to get a first-hand look at what might be possible.

The advisers, made up of Marines and special operations forces, join hundreds of other American advisers already in the country advising Iraqi troops in their fight against ISIS, an offshoot of al Qaeda in Iraq. The group has waged a brutal campaign while seizing large areas of territory this year in Iraq, aiming to establish a caliphate.

This whole mes was a creation of the EU's imperialist ambitions , they financed the opposition to the democratically elected President with at least a billion Euros , succeeded in overthrowing him and in putting their placemen in power and then sat back. However as the West has discovered in Iraq, Afganistan ,Libya, and Syria it is extremely easy to interfere in the affairs of another country but very difficult to control events thereafter . However even the most stupid western politician should have understood Russia would not just stand by. Unfortunately our leaders have shown they are totally stupid as far as intervention in foreign countries is concerned.
Putin is in the right to defend what he cosnsiders to be his sphere of influence. As this mess continues the economic consequences for everyone but particularly the average EU citizen goes from bad to worse...

If I understand it correctly the latest false Kiev claim goes like this:

1. A mighty Russian force attacked Ukraine through the border.
2. A heroic Ukrainian army destroyed at least 50% of this menacing force.
3. The Russians put their tail between their legs and retreated before the mighty Ukrainian army could wipe out the rest of them.
4. Apparently the terrified Russians had the good sense in them to take back to Russia all their destroyed equipment for reasons of protecting the Ukrainian environment.

In all of this excitement, no soldier or journalist was able to use their iphone and capture some evidence. No aerial satellite photography either. Other than these minor details (of no evidence existing anywhere) this is a decisive victory for Kiev's unstoppable forces... Lies, upon lies, upon lies. Such is the natural environment for the beast called EUSSR. It has to feed on lies otherwise it dies. And since it refuses to die it has to constantly fabricate new lies just to keep up with its corrosive self-indulgence.

You can't possibly have debt pooling (which is what stimulus would essentially become) without fiscally responsible states. If France is allowed to breach the deficit target again, and indefinately as Michel Sapin pretty much asked Merkel, then it's a green light for states to never reform and just spend as the buck won't stop with their national central bank, just the distant ECB. Without full political intergration it'll be a disaster.

I mention France as it's the lynchpin - it's the 2nd biggest economy in the eurozone but suffering from complete political failure. It can't reform and won't. Germany cannot possibly handle this.

Merkel should put a bullet in the Euro before it exports deflation eveywhere... What fool would suggest that Greece and Portugal can compete on a level playing field (ie: with no chance to devalue periodically and the same interest rate) against Germany?...The youth of those countries have no chance, they end up leaving for Germany (and the UK) to get work, thus compounding the problems. Taxes to Germany and UK and peanuts to the outliers. Germany doesn't want to leave the Euro, all they've done is lent to the broken countries and need their money back. If Germany left the Euro zone the natural balance would be devaluation of their debt. It will go on until the lights come on in these countries with 25% + youth unemployment and realise they've destroyed a whole generation....

The only elegant solution is to split the Euro into two: the northern states forming the NordEuro (or DMark...) with the southern states forming the EuroLight. Thus allowing the DMark to float up, the EuroLight to depreciate and each half taking the necessary writeoffs. Otherwise it is going to explode with a messy bang.

Un premier sondage cruel, pour ne pas dire effrayant ! 59 % des personnes interrogées par le nouvel institut Odoxa approuvent le limogeage d'Arnaud Montebourg par François Hollande et Manuel Valls. Les sympathisants du PS sont même plus nombreux (75 %) à approuver cet acte d'autorité que ceux de la droite (57 %).
Mais, ce coup d'éclat ne renforce pas la confiance des personnes interrogées dans l'exécutif. Loin de là ! Huit Français sur dix pensent que la politique économique du gouvernement n'est ni juste, ni claire, ni efficace... "Même les sympathisants de gauche ne sont qu'une minorité à penser que cette politique sera claire (36 % seulement) et efficace (34 %)", souligne Gaël Sliman, président d'Odoxa. On ne pouvait cauchemarder pire résultat...

Le clou de ce sondage (*) est que le refrain de la dissolution entonné depuis plusieurs mois par la droite fait de plus en plus d'adeptes. 63 % des sondés demandent à Hollande de dissoudre, alors qu'ils n'étaient que 52 % en novembre 2013. Des résultats inquiétants car l'une des vertus d'un remaniement ministériel est de redonner de l'air et de la confiance à la nouvelle équipe. Un "effet de bord" positif totalement invisible selon l'institut Odoxa...

Mr Valls -another adolescent with no brains to be PM - like ROMANIA's PM

The first government of Mr Valls, who was appointed less than five months ago, fell on Monday after a row with Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg. Mr Montebourg resigned along with two other ministers from the left. He will be replaced by Emmanuel Macron, a former Rothschild banker and ex-presidential economic adviser.

President Hollande is seeking a coherent line on economic policy after recent criticism from the left wing of his Socialist Party. Many see it as his last chance to make a successful presidency, after his recent poll ratings sunk to 17%.

Key portfolios unchanged - For the first time, a woman - Najat Vallaud-Belkacem - will be put in charge of education, replacing Benoit Hamon who also lost his job. Ms Vallaud-Belkacem was minister for women's rights in the last cabinet. Meanwhile, Fleur Pellerin has been made minister for culture, replacing Aurelie Filippetti who is also out of the government. Key ministers in the previous cabinet, like Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian and Finance Minister Michel Sapin, retain their posts.... Valls and Macron will change France once and for all: the SP dissidents will be too cowardly to force dissolution of the National Assembly and new elections, the SP dissidents would rather have a few more months of National Assembly member privileges than fight for what they were originally elected for. Shame on SP dissidents, shame on the caviar gauchistes of the SP. Either the structural reforms can be enacted, or France will implode in street revolts, strikes, and more. The lessons of Greece, Spain and the US are that humans are passive in the face of government-decreed austerity, unemployment, foreclosure and homelessness....François Hollande’s new government only stifled voices of dissent from the left wing of his Socialist Party. These marginal changes simply mean that France is headed down the dark path to meet its destiny and as the second largest economy after Germany, France will take Europe as a whole with it. Hollande’s already unbelievable weak political standing both in France and his diminished respect within the wider European economy, will only have a very chilling impact that dooms France in the future. We are watching live how empires, nations, and city states die.

marx-4These governmental changes leave the direction of Hollande’s policy intact. Hollande is desperately trying to hold on to the theories of Marx that were born there in France. Hollande cannot connect the dots that socialism and communism failed for freedom belongs inherently to the people. He cannot grasp that if you told students in school they will all get the same grade regardless of their effort, you would soon destroy the purpose of education. Individual self-worth and achievement may invoke envy in the slackers, but it creates great civilizations among the enlightened. Hollande does not understand that this same basic concept applies in economics. We are people with equal right – not equal abilities or desires.
