The Soviet Victory Day or May 9 marks the capitulation of Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union in the Second World War (also known as the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union and some post-Soviet states). It was first inaugurated in the fifteen republics of the Soviet Union, following the signing of the surrender document late in the evening on 8 May 1945 (9 May by Moscow Time). It happened after the original capitulation that Germany earlier agreed to the joint Allied forces of the Western Front. The Soviet government announced the victory early on 9 May after the signing ceremony in Berlin. Though the official inauguration happened in 1945 (which means it has been celebrated since 1946), the holiday became a non-labour day only in 1965 and only in some of the countries.

And then, taking a snapshot Katyushas, said: "My! .. My regiment! "

George W. Bush was elected President of the United States of America twice, once through the manipulation of the voting system (countless numbers of voters were blocked from voting in the key State of Florida) and once through the manipulation of fear, (Osama bin Laden turning up on cue weeks before the election). An analysis of the eight years of the Bush regime will determine whether this pariah ...

German commentators on Wednesday give generally positive reviews to Barack Obama's Nuclear Security Summit in Washington. The United States president must do even more to ensure the threat of terrorists or more countries getting their hands on nuclear weapons is reduced, but most agree he is off to a commendable start. On Tuesday, United States President Barack Obama led a meeting of 47 world lead ...
Clearly, large sections of the left are totally unable to think when confronted by organisations like the English Defence League or the British National Party. With regard to the latter, the comrades totally abandon any concrete analysis and, quite pathetically, prefer instead to mindlessly describe it as “Nazi” at every available opportunity. There is an idiotic determination to prove that Nick G ...
April 9 - LaRouche: This Idiot Would Walk Right Into His Own Assassination!
When two former US Ambassadors were recently briefed on what LaRouche has said about the British intent to assassinate Obama, each of them independently responded to the effect that: "Well, the perfect place would be the Washington Nuclear Security Summit next Monday and Tuesday, Apr 12-13... "It would be a nice terrorist

President Obama seems to have dramatically revised US nuclear strategy by renouncing the first use of nuclear weapons. He also said the United States will never use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states. But has American nuclear strategy really changed fundamentally? On the face of it the change in policy is substantial. But there are elements of the traditional US "carrot and stick" approach in the new policy. The declaration presents Iran with a clear choice: Only if it opens up its nuclear program to international inspection will it receive assurances it will not be subject to a nuclear first strike.

The United States and China seem to have reached an agreement with regard to the exchange rate between their two currencies. The agreement is that the U.S. government will stop yelling about it, and China will do whatever it wants to do, which will probably include some modest rise in the renminbi some time in the near future. This agreement was seen in the statements from both parties during the nuclear summit held in Washington over the past few days. "China rightly sees the issue of currency as a sovereign issue," said President Obama in response to a question about his meeting with President Hu Jintao of China. Stating more of what should have been obvious from the beginning of this dispute, he added "They are resistant to international pressure when it comes to them making decisions about their currency policy and monetary policy."

In today’s world, the gross majority of interaction between peoples is driven by the act of, or desire, to fulfill a desire. Consumer psychology, in an elementary classification, deals with determining how, in a precise point in time, sellers communicate with their respective markets. The point in time matters because consumer perception on anything at all, is liable to change without notice. Markets and segments thereof must be assessed and measured constantly to ensure that we are advertising to who we think we are advertising. Communication of information is a massive hurdle, as the seller has to ensure that the right message is getting across, all the time. Failure to execute in any of these aspects will lead to a Hindenburg of an advertising campaign, with biblical ramifications.

Angela Merkel is traveling across America this week. It's a country she loves, but the German chancellor is still having trouble connecting with Barack Obama. Her political style couldn't be any more different from that of the US president. She's fighting to prevent the US from disregarding or dominating the Europeans. German Chancellor Angela Merkel is traveling around the United States this week. She loves the country, but she has a few problems with its president, Barack Obama. Her political style is vastly different from that of the US president, but she also has something else to contend with: Washington's disregard for and attempts to dominate Europeans.

US President Barack Obama will Monday open a two-day nuclear security summit, warning that the atomic aspirations of groups like Al-Qaeda are the most serious security threat to the United States. Leaders from 46 other nations will attend the meeting, aimed at safeguarding unsecured uranium and separated plutonium stockpiles and averting extremist groups acquiring nuclear weapons. On the eve of the summit, which will be the largest chaired by a US president in 65 years, Obama said the “single biggest threat to US security … would be the possibility of a terrorist organisation obtaining a nuclear weapon".

Back in 2007, I predicted that the United States was venturing into another Great Depression. What I didn’t count on was witnessing it in any substantive way. Like Ms. Celie in The Color Purple, I figured I’d just sit back and watch while everything happened around me. It becomes impossible to ignore, however, when currently one in ten Americans are unemployed, one in four African Americans are unemployed, a hunger crisis is silently overtaking America, and the entire construction of the world as most of us have known it is crumbling at faster and more alarming rates everyday.

One day before the expiration of the ultimatum, the terrorist group ‘Al Qaeda in the Maghreb - 'Aqmi, al Jihad fi Bilad Al Maghrib al Arabi' - released an audio message by Sergio Cicala, the Sicilian abducted with his wife, Philomene Pwelgna Kaborč, last December 17, in the desert of Mauritania on the border with Mali. The message - a little more than a minute, entitled "Message from the Italian hostage to the Berlusconi’s...government" and published with a photo where Cicala is kneeling and unshaved in front of six Islamists with bandaged faces and weapons in hands - was tracked by SITE, the U.S. agency for monitoring Islamist websites, according to which the message was recorded on February 24.

Recently the Google incident has raised heated discussions. It all started with a blog post by Google's Senior Vice President & Chief Legal Consultant David Drummond on January 21, 2010. In the article titled "A new approach to China", Drummond claimed that Google detected "a targeted attack", which resulted in the theft of its intellectual property. He said that Google is "no longer willing to continue censoring the results on Google.cn, and so over the next weeks we (Google) will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China." ...
