RUSSIA HAS COURAGE TO STAND ITS GROUND!! DO YOU?
America has stirred up unrest in the Ukraine.

Russia has sent a strong message that they will not sit by and twittle their thumbs watching American aggression on their back doorstep. Ukraine borders Russia.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry says:
"It's an incredible act of aggression. It is really a stunning, willful choice by President Putin to invade another country," Kerry said on "Face the Nation" Sunday, adding that Russia has violated Ukraine's sovereignty and several of its obligations under international agreements. "You just don't in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pretext."
Now view Kerry's comments in light of the U.S. invasion of Libya and Iraq. The United States displayed incredible acts of aggression by invading these countrys. The U.S. violated both of these country's sovereignty and several of its oblications under international law. These countries were invaded under completely trumped up pretexts. President Quaddaffi nor Sadaam Hussein represented a physical threat to the United States. The people of Libya and Iraq did not overthrow the governments of these countries, the United States did. Now, Obama thought he could do the same thing in Ukraine and Putin has said enough! The people of Ukraine are out in the streets sending the message to United States installed coup leaders that the people of Ukraine stand with Russia.

This time the United States overestimated its ability to meddle in other people's affairs.

America has got to quit being the world's bully and starting these unnecessary wars, especially when in its own Constitution the 13th Amendment allows for someone to be legally enslaved. President Obama, just how embarrassing is legalized slavery in America as you go around the world trying to get other countries to accept America's worldwide domination under the guise of civilization? America is all over in Russia's neck of the woods and has said nothing about the Russian spy ship that has docked in Cuba!! President Obama, your priority should be to secure the safety of America. Take care of home!! Russia is sending signals that it might invade America and you are ignoring the signals while meddling in the Ukraine!! America you better wake up!! You the people are being enslaved and don't even realize it. Harriet Tubman said she could have freed more if they only realized they were enslaved. Harriett was talking about people of African descent. I am speaking to you all without regard to your descent. We all are at risk of enslavement. ALL!! I have accepted the duty to wake you up!! Can I get a collective yawn as you begin to come out of that slumber? WAKE UP!!

This country does not need, nor can it afford, to fight another war. The money spent on these military excursions should be spent on building up the internal infrastructure, expanding social security, medicaid and medicare, taking care of the veterans that followed orders and got maimed, mentally deranged, and who familes still suffer with the losses and pains that come from fighting these useless wars. I am Rev. Mmoja Ajabu, the abolitionist candated for U.S. Congress. Slavery in America should be legal for no reason!! Legalized slavery in America still in 2014 needs to removed from the constitution immediately!!
I am unbought, unbossed, and looking to be unleashed to fight for you against this madness coming out of Washington DC. I need your help. Make a contribution so I can keep this message in the air. Our very lives are depending on your support. If you like you then it is imperative that you support me. YOU READY??

Mary,
Thanks for the encouragement. I will send you literature to your email. In the mean time check this out:
The movement of Russian troops into Crimea has caused an international outcry. Western leaders have been quick to condemn the move as an “invasion”, and assault on “democracy” and international law. However, there are a number of points that must first be examined. First and foremost is the fact that the Russia-Ukraine Friendship Treaty establishes that Crimea, and Sevastopol specifically, represents a strategic national interest for Russia. Moreover, it codifies the fact that the protection of the rights of the people of Crimea is the responsibility of the Ukrainian government. However, what happens when a so called government in Kiev is openly hostile to the region? Who then is responsible for the Russians living there? With Kiev’s putsch government having the backing of the US, NATO and Europe, it seems that no one other than Russia could possibly guarantee the security of Crimea.
Second is the fact that Russia’s naval facilities are undoubtedly of vital national security interest to Moscow. Considering the openly hostile attitude expressed by the new Security and National Defense Committee leadership in Kiev, it seems clear that Russia’s national security interests would be under threat. There is ample precedent in international law justifying Russia moving to protect its forces in Crimea. Moreover, with Ukraine falling into the hands of Nazi elements, a sound argument could be made that, beyond the Crimea, Ukraine poses a danger to the security of Russia proper. Naturally, all of these nuances are left completely out of the narrative of Western corporate media.
Third, and perhaps most important, is the fact that the putsch government in Kiev is absolutely illegal under international law. Yanukovich, whatever negative things could be said about him and his government (and there are many), was never defeated in a democratic election. Rather, he was chased out of the country by a violent mob that has now been consecrated by the much touted “international community” (read US-EU-NATO) as the recognized government. This is a blatant violation of Ukraine’s Constitution, not to mention international law and the accepted principles of modern democracy. With Yanukovich having taken refuge in Russia, and still being the legal President of Ukraine, isn’t it fair to say that Russia is acting as the guarantor of international law, rather than its enemy?
Of course, the United States has taken the lead in blasting Russia for its intervention in Ukraine. On Sunday March 2nd, US Secretary of State John Kerry made the rounds of the major political talk shows. Hestated, “You don’t just invade another country on a phony pretext in order to assert your own interests.” The Orwellian doublethink required to make such a statement is palpable. The United States has invaded or, as the political Thought Police would say, “intervened,” all over the world countless times, each time violating those principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity that Kerry and the Obama administration seem to hold so dear today.
In Libya, US-NATO used its own phony pretext to coax the United Nations Security Council into passing Resolution 1973 which authorized a No-Fly Zone that NATO immediately transformed into an authorization for war, including bombing and aerial support to an insurgent army seeking to topple the legal authority in that country. The NATO mission led to the illegal assassination of Gaddafi, ethnic cleansing of black Libyans, the destruction of the country’s infrastructure and economy, and unleashed a continuing political and social nightmare that is tearing that country, or what used to be called a country, apart.
In Iraq, the United States skirted international law and all norms of international relations, unleashing a brutal war and occupation that has led to the deaths of more than a million Iraqis and the destruction of that country which continues to this day. The war on Iraq, universally recognized as having been waged under the phoniest of pretexts, is an ongoing war crime of the highest order.
One could cite many other examples of US-led “interventions” based on, as Kerry termed them, “phony pretexts,” including the bombing and destruction of Yugoslavia, the continued merciless drone bombings of Yemen, Somalia, and Pakistan, as well as the vicious wars in Central America which, for decades, were supported by the United States in the name of “peace” and “stability”. At what point does the hypocrisy of the United States become too much to bear?
Of course, the fundamental question with regard to all these conflicts is the question of US interests. Were there Americans directly under threat by the Gaddafi government? Certainly not. Was the US Navy in danger of being seized by hostile forces in Somalia or Nicaragua? Of course not. Were the American people under threat from Saddam Hussein or Slobodan Milosevic? Undeniably no. And yet, somehow these “interventions” were deemed acceptable, but Russia’s attempt to protect its own people and military installations in the face of a clear and present danger is a crime and breach of international law?
George Orwell wrote that doublethink was:
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget, whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process…
Doesn’t this aptly describe US foreign policy and its attitudes? When examining the current situation in Ukraine and the Russian response to the conflict, let us recall Mr. Orwell’s prophetic words. Let us recall the principles of modern democracy and international law. And let us reject the Empire’s propaganda and double standards.

Jason,
Your comment has been deleted. How many times do I have to tell you to stay focused!!! The world is on the verge of world war 3 and you want to come with jokes. Harriett Tubman said she could have freed more if they only knew they were enslaved. Today, she would have been talking about you!! WAKE UP!!
Rev. Ajabu
I'd like to point out that from all accounts that I have read as well as Youtube videos made by blacks, Russians are very discriminatory and often violent toward black people. According to the "Atlanta Black Star," Russia is one of the "Eight Worst Countries for Black People to Travel." http://atlantablackstar.com/2014/01/08/8-worst-countries-black-people-travel/
I make this statement because it would appear that because I appeared on a radio broadcast with you, much is being made of your pro-Russia statements. I don't discuss world politics because of my limited knowledge about it. However, it would appear that when it comes to racism, Russia needs to Change.
Blessings.
Mary,
My statements are pro-truth. And as far as I can tell the Russian version of events in Ukraine are closer to the truth than the West's statements. Our people are under assault every where, even on the African continent. When we say ENOUGH, and mean it, then we will see a change. Up you mighty people!! Accomplish what you will!!
