[RUS] Ukrainian minister says Donbass residents genetically unfit for national culture
Ukrainian minister says Donbass residents genetically unfit for national culture https://www.rt.com/news/367972-ukraine-donbass-genes-culture/ Published time: 23 Nov, 2016 18:34 Edited time: 23 Nov, 2016 18:48 Residents of Ukraine's east lack the genetics necessary to be part of Ukrainian culture, according to the country's Minister of Culture. The comment was quickly picked up by the opposition, who are now urging the minister to resign. "Speaking about genetics, Zaporozhye and the Donbass [region]... they are imported cities. There is no genetics there," Evgeny Nishchuk said on Monday in an interview with local local TV channel ICTV when asked why Ukrainian culture is spreading so slowly. The comment was quickly noticed both inside and outside Ukraine. The Opposition Bloc party forwarded a plea to the Ukrainian parliament to make Nishchuk give up his office, saying that “societies based on ethnical segregation have long been outdated” and “he would be punished for this kind of comments in a civilized society.” “The minister points to ethnically unclean people who are, however, still providing for Ukraine’s economics and national budget,” the party’s statement said. The leader of Ukraine’s Radical Party, Oleg Lyashko, harshly condemned Nishchuk on his Facebook page and didn’t hesitate to call him “an idiot,” who should be fired as a “genetically impaired” person. Ukraine’s energy minister, Igor Nasalik, was less emotional, but still disapproving. “He was talking history, that I understand … but I don’t share his viewpoint,” Nasalik said, according to local news outlet Strana. Nishchuk apologized at a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, explaining that he “didn’t want to offend anybody” and he was talking about “the importance of culture dialogue and exchange”. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, made statements about rebels living in the Donbass region, which has been in an armed conflict with the Ukrainian government ever since it came to power in the 2014 Kiev coup. “I doubt that any of our western partners would take these words as an offense,” Maria Zakharova wrote on her Facebook page on Wednesday. “Most probably they won’t see them at all. They pay so much attention to human rights. And they pay so little when it comes to politically troublesome regions,” Zakharova noted. It's no surprise it's so hard to stick to the Minsk roadmap to peace in Ukraine, given that “Ukraininan governments see Donbass residents as culturally different people whose identity should be corrected,” Zakharova wrote. Earlier this month the commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forced said that people in Donbass harbor extreme hatred for Ukraine’s security officials, adding that they passed information about their locations over to rebel fighters. In August, Viktoria Syumar, deputy secretary of Ukraine's Security Council, suggested holding a nationwide referendum on whether it was worth fighting for control over Donbass, saying it that would take too much in terms of resources to restore the infrastructure there and besides, and that the local population "hates Ukraine." Before that, in June, Vadim Chernysh, Minister for Temporarily Occupied Territories (the official description of the Donbass area, which Kiev says was invaded by Russia), said that even if Donbass is brought back under Ukraine's control, its residents still won’t acknowledge the official Ukrainian government. Since August, 2016, the conflict has claimed the lives of over 9,500 people over two years of warfare, according to UN data.

Although his fellow "upper class twits" called Roosevelt a Class Traitor and Bolshevik, and organized a coup against him (the "Business Plot"). But his policies actually were "good for Business" and his performance in dragging the U.S. into WWII do qualify him for the "fascist" designation. That label fits every President before or since, to a greater or lesser but usually greater extent, if I recall correctly. But as an anarchist, I don't give half a shit what labels fit which rulers; I do prefer economic policies that redistribute wealth - therefore power - down the social hierarchy somewhat. Others may view the world in single digit binary terms, rejecting as worthless /any/ but their own ideal solutions, perfectly and uniformly implemented. That's only a small part of the definition of Fascism, so I will refrain from calling names on account of it. Juan. ROTFLMAO :o)

Re: Bitcoin Unable To Provide Privacy, Attracts FED and IRS Heat, FinServices Cave Demands
http://bitcoin-brokers.org/, if its still operating, can be an important element in a thorough trade-craft of financial privacy. They act as brokers to enable non-AML/KYC purchase of bitcoin. Sellers escrow their bitcoin with the broker. Buyers deposit cash into seller's bank account at a branch teller, acquire and present proof of payment, via broker, to the seller. Assuming no dispute, broker releases bitcoins to buyer minus a reasonable commission. Because broker never touches any fiat they aren't technically an exchanger. Seller pays no commission (last time I checked) but is not anon to buyer (and of course broker).

Re: CNN - asking the right questions
a more reasonable right-wing definition of fascism is one offered by the guy who invented it, Benito Mussolini (actually mostly by his court philosopher Giovanni Gentile).

Three missing elements in this (very useful) summary: First, the rise of the Third Reich happened while Germany was in economic ruins due to the Great Depression and Treaty of Versailles, literally on the brink of mass starvation. The people were desperate and the NSDAP offered a simple explanation (Jews and Communists did it) and a simple solution (get rid of the Jews and Communists). Under these conditions the Nazis were able to organize a national militia, the SA (Sturmabteilung a.k.a. Brown Shirts) and employ terrorist tactics to help the German people vote correctly. Second, Germany had a very strong culture of obedience to authority, a moral imperative synonymous with "honor." This mind set was dominant throughout the European sphere of influence in the 19th century, and although it was in decline (i.e. the much lamented decadence of the "yellow nineties" and outbreaks of anarchism in the early 20th century) it remained firmly in place there: The older Germans I met as a child were very much "Old World" people, and even as a child I could see that clearly. Third, Herr Hitler & Co. kept their key campaign promises: They did in fact restore Germany's economy and turned the country (back) into an industrial powerhouse. This was accomplished by implementing many reforms borrowed from Roosevelt's New Deal, and with the kindly assistance of capital provided by U.S. industrialists who heartily approved of the Nazis' political philosophy and economic policies. The Nazis earned the gratitude - and compliance - of the German people. Hitler was a passionate nationalist; Trump is a vulgar opportunist. Once in power, Hitler united his nation and did, in fact, make it great again - at least in terms of economic prosperity and industrial production. Trump has already mobilized the already divided American people into warring factions: Our natural born Fascists are out of the closet, the political Left is snarling and screeching while its leadership digs in for four years of mortal combat, and "moderates" of all stripes - a sleeping demographic giant - are looking for something they can actually DO about this train wreck for the first time in generations. The Internet has broken the monopoly of Big Capital over the content mass communications, so the Nazi's famous full spectrum domestic propaganda regimen can not be duplicated here and now. Although I would much rather have seen Sanders in the White House, attempting to implement an updated New Deal solution to the ongoing collapse of the U.S. economy, a Democratic Party under the literal control of Clinton and her network stopped Sanders by every means necessary, and handed the White House to Donald Trump. So now we get to see a radical solution to the various crises presently facing the United States and the world: Four years of open warfare between the American Right Fringe and Everyone Else. Our economic power brokers are already lining up behind Trump, leaving "boots on the ground" in the form of mass popular movements as his opponents' only viable response. We have been taught all our lives that this means armed conflict, because that's an option our rulers are very well prepared to control and use to their own advantage. But economic warfare through strikes, occupations and mass non-cooperation are powerful weapons that hit a ruling class hard where it counts - in their balance sheets and quarterly reports. Mass movements using nonviolent strategies and tactics can move political mountains - or failing this, the struggle to move those mountains builds the committed support networks that must exist for a last resort armed insurgency to succeed. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJYNdeeAAoJEECU6c5Xzmuq0oQH/3FqhyYT6j8Yyw0A7aUPWUkG Yi0Z3j/MWMTE73YhxWaWtxKQfwfO4Sy41dCz/Pzjxn7ZZb0NNTn+A0WUANcuCHGQ 4Wtt/GDFwhlhYifQ3XLOQaQfOk7/96kMlMMTgAwqq0FXBztWZ20nIn2M8lZP1tW8 9Jjaeh1uobhsnzLo9bbjf0p671lMS3T0WGO04ay6wSTG3c1J40zQuXs2geqfPZmx 17hS3mFhbE1GDSp+cj2BtOCaeEwwu/7O7SCWYiNDb6bLz7iDdArO5b1jlh2hLRn4
