Pas de Pitié Pour Les Russes: Les Tchétchènes Sont Des Coupeurs de Ttête!
2008-10-30 00:43:00
The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Note: This is a French translation of the famous No Mercy For Russians post. It was translated by "Natalie from France". This post has also been translated into Italian. Italian version (traduzione in italiano). I really advise my regular readers to not even watch this video. It's probably one of the worst things you've ever seen; it's way worse than the Russian neo-Nazi one.We are also looking for translations into other large European languages and Japanese. I am looking for translators into Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Russian, Estonian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Polish, Hungarian, Romanian, Spanish, Greek, Japanese and Bahasa Indonesia.Si vous pensiez que la vidéo néonazie de l?exécution de deux « noirs » était le summum de l?atrocité, vous faites erreur.Le pire ne s?arrêtera jamais.Nous nous sommes demandés si une telle bar...
Neo-Nazi Beheading Video In French
2008-10-13 09:10:00
This is a French translation of the Neo-Nazi Beheading Video post that is so popular on this blog. It was done by "Natalie from France". This video gets a lot of traffic, especially from Europe, so lately, we are offering translations into large European languages. The Italian translation, Video Shock: I Neo Nazisti Russi Decapitano Un Prigioniero Caucasico, is here.We still do not have a good French title for this post. If any French speakers out there can think of one, tell us in the comments or email me above. We are still looking for translators into large European languages and Japanese. If you are interested, email me at the email address in the upper right-hand corner.Attention! Cette vidéo comporte des images choquantes, il s'agit d'une décapitation. Si vous êtes mineurs ou sensibles, ne regardez pas. Cette vidéo se prend une large partie du trafic, surtout en provenance d'Europe. Cet article américain, a été traduit en italien, nous recherchons des personnes parlant d'a...
Video Shock: Nessuna Pieta' Per I Russi - I Ceceni Sono Tagliatori Di Tes
2008-10-12 22:54:00
This article was originally published here in English under the title, Six Russian Conscripts Beheading. Unfortunately, or fortunately, whichever the case may be, it's received tons of traffic, so I commissioned an Italian translation. We are also looking for translations into other large European languages and Japanese.This is the Italian translation of "Six Russian Conscripts" by Paolo from Trieste. He added some additions of his own. This translation is called "No Mercy For Russians - The Chechen Beheaders".I recommend that my regular readers do not watch this video - it's actually way worse than the neo-Nazi one. But if you are into this stuff, this post does have an excellent frame by frame play by play down to the second, but it doesn't make sense unless you can read Italian.Se pensavate che il video neonazista dell'esecuzione di due 'neri era il massimo dell'efferatezza, vi siete sbagliati.Al peggio non c'è mai fine.Ci siamo chiesti se tale barbiarie era una 'risposta...
People From the Caucasus are Blacks?
2008-08-19 13:15:00
Take a lot at these "Black" and "non-White" Chechen kids in Jordan. Boy, they sure look pretty darn White to me! Especially that girl with the dark red hair and the turquoise eyes. Wasn't that one of Hitler's favorite combinations? White Power boneheads.This will go along with another post I wrote along the same lines, Are Dagestanis and Tajiks White?. The conclusion of that post was, yes, they are White. The reason it is even an issue is that Russians insist that the people of the Caucasus are "Blacks" and "non-Whites".It seems that quite a few White nationalists also deny that Armenians, Georgians, Dagestanis, Azerbaijanis, Chechens and other Caucasian peoples are White. White in this case will refer to peoples having a phenotype that is not only Caucasoid but also resembles European Caucasoids.As you can see in this neat video of cute little Chechen kids shot in Jordan. There is a large Chechen and Circassian population in Jordan dating back to the imperial wars of conquest tha...
Chechen War is Over?
2008-07-06 02:57:00
The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated July 12:A Norwegian Russophile of unknown motivations came to the blog to comment on the post about the execution of six Russian conscripts. He repeated the usual pro-Russian propaganda about the crazy Chechen War.I don't know about the Norwegians, but the truth is that almost all Greeks, Serbs, Montenegrins and Macedonians will always line up with Russia. I'm not sure about Bulgarians. Also you are going to see this to some extent in Romania, especially in Moldova. It's not so much Pan-Slavism (which doesn't really exist in a rational form), but more Pan-Orthodoxism.For instance, the Poles, Czechs and Ukrainians are all Slavs, but you don't necessarily see pan-Slavism with them. In the Poles, it is almost nonexistent. This is due to the Catholicism of the Poles. In the 20th Century, there were horrible wars waged with Polish Cat...
Six Russian Conscripts Beheading
2008-07-05 12:46:00
The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated July 8. I am posting this video because it is related to the neo-Nazi beheading video that is creating such a storm on the Internets.This is one of the sickest, most messed up videos I've ever seen. I watched it once and I don't think I can watch it again. My regular readers probably don't even want to watch this, but there's tons of people on the Net who love this stuff, so here it is.I've been listening to it a few times this morning to test it (with the visual removed, only the sound) and just the sounds are bad enough. This is worse than the neo-Nazi one if you ask me.Recently, the neo-Nazi video was proven to be real, sadly. The family of the poor man beheaded in the video recognized him when they saw the movie on the Internet.Subsequently, Russian law enforcement, which had originally dismissed the video as a fake (I never t...

Russian Neo-Nazi Video Is Real
2008-06-06 06:30:00
Updated June 18:The infamous Russian neo-Nazi beheading video, which can be found on this site here, along with a long post describing it and giving background to it, has long been rumored to be a fake. I never thought it was a fake, simply because faking such an act so well requires the facilities of an expensive movie studio. There is no evidence that these amateurs had access to such a studio.However, new evidence has just emerged that the video is real and is not a fake, according to Russian law enforcement (LE). I figured as much. The Russian neo-Nazis are completely out of control; they assault and kill people all the time, and not a whole lot is done about them. It made sense that sooner or later they would take to the next level and commit a homicide on tape a la Al Qaeda and the insurgents in Iraq.Kistaman Odamanov from Dagestan said that one of the men killed on the tape was her brother, Shamil U. Odamanov, 24. Her father, Umakhan, and her brother, Artur, along with other...
Prometheus Unbound?
2008-06-06 05:17:00
A Ukraine eternally condemned to be split between east and west is the image that persistently lingers on the retina of imagery as historical, cultural, lingual, and religious differences are allowed to dominate over unifying forces in world perceptions of the country's national identity. The image of a country fettered to its historic fate is today however confronted by a contrasting picture with roots in regional and national myths, linking together nations reunited in freedom at the shores of the Black Sea. Less known is that its origins are to be found in the ancient myth of Prometheus - the titan who stole the fire from the gods and gave it to man.Prometheus (Gr. he who thinks ahead) brought man the enlightenment - fire and knowledge - denied to her by higher powers. In eternal punishment, Zeus had him chained to a rock on mount Kaukasos, where an eagle was set to feast on his liver. His self-sacrificial torment was eventually ended by Hercules, who killed the eagle and set th...

Spinning up Iranian Nukes
2007-12-04 15:51:00
Much is currently being made about the National Intelligence Estimate released this week about the risk of a nuclear Iran. The most important story, however, has to be dug out of several sources. Despite all the rhetoric from Dubya about Iran building nukes, the Bush Administration has been sitting on this report for nearly a year, apparently attempting to spin up a more negative result. IPSNews.net Cheney Tried to Stifle Dissent in Iran NIE A National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran has been held up for more than a year in an effort to force the intelligence community to remove dissenting judgments on the Iranian nuclear programme, and thus make the document more supportive of U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's militarily aggressive policy toward Iran, according to accounts of the process provided by participants to two former Central Intelligence Agency officers. But this pressure on intelligence analysts, obviously instigated by Cheney himself, has not produced a draft e...
The Russian Bear Growls
2007-11-16 15:01:00
Bush's clumsy move into Central Asia and the Middle East has provided the Russians all the political capital among friendly neighbors and a power vacuum as big as the one in Bush's skull created by the used up US military. Bush has managed to restart the Cold War. Make no mistake, Russia knows it can trust the US only as far as it can force it to move. The US has been quite provocative, unnecessarily so. A new arms race seems to be in the offing. AlterNet A particular irritant to Putin, parallel to the arguments about CFE, is the U.S. proposal (a pet project of former defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld) to deploy 10 ground-based interceptor missiles in Poland and a 360 degree X-band radar in the Czech Republic. These are linked to an Alaska-based ballistic missile defense system, for which Gordon Brown agreed in late July 2007 (without the public debate Tony Blair promised the previous February) to provide facilities at Fylingdales and Menwith in Yorkshire. This U.S. system was ...
