415. WHY INDEPENDENT SCOTLAND?

 WEDNESDAY 17 SEPTEMBER 2014
THE CARTESIAN ON THE REFERENDUM IN SCOTLAND

WHY DO THE SCOTS WANT TO WALK OUT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM ?

SIMPLE: THE SCOTS WANT SOCIAL JUSTICE, AND SEE IN  THEIR SCANDINAVIAN NEIGHBOURS  THE RIGHT MODEL FOR SCOTLAND.  

THEY KNOW THAT AS LONG AS THEY ARE RULLED BY WESTMINSTER, THEY WILL NEVER GET THAT, BECAUSE THE LABOUR PARTY HAS NOT PRODUCED THAT TYPE OF DEMOCRACY,  AND, EVEN WORSE,  THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY GOLDEN RULE IS TO FIGHT AGAINST ANY KIND OF SOCIAL DEMOCRACY.

THE SCOTS HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT AND PUT UP WITH THE SOCIAL INJUSTICES AND THE RULE OF MILLIONAIRES, A KIND OF OLIGARCHY BY THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY. THEY SAY  THAT THEY ARE FED UP, THE UK IS HOPELESS AND JUST SEE NO OTHER OPTION THAN LEAVE.

NOBODY CAN BLAME THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE WAITED FOR CENTURIES FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM TO MAKE AMENDS. IT HASN'T.

THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND CARRY ON  ELECTING THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY, OR CALL THEM THE TORIES IF YOU WANT, WHICH IS A RIGHT WING PARTY HELL BENT ON MAKING LAWS THAT ONLY CATER FOR  MILLIONIARES. SCOTLAND DOES NOT  LIKE THAT. THEY WANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYBODY AND NOT ONLY FOR THE BUNCH OF OXBRIDGED.PRIVILEDGED TORIES.

THEREFORE,  WHY SHOULD THE PEOPLE OF SCOTLAND SUFFER THE POLICIES OF A PARTY THAT  THEY NEVER VOTE FOR AND NEVER ELECT? 

LOOKING AT THIS FROM ANOTHER ANGLE, IT'S NOT THE SCOTS THAT ARE FILING FOR DIVORCE, THEY HAVE BEEN PUSHED INTO IT BY THE RIGHT WING ENGLAND THAT HAVE BEEN VOTING ALL THE TIME THE TORIES INTO GOVERNMENT.

WE IN MOZAMBIQUE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING EUROPEAN POLITICS FOR A WHILE BECAUSE WE ARE INTERESTED IN IT. MOZAMBIQUE IS NOW A COMMONWEATH MEMBER,  AND FOR THIS REASON WE HAVE  A SPECIAL INTEREST IN THE UNITED KINGDOM FORM OF GOVERNMENT.

WE HAVE FOUND THAT IN CONTINENTAL EUROPE, GENERAL ELECTIONS ARE WON WHEN PARTIES OPERATE AROUND THE CENTRE RIGHT OR CENTRE LEFT, BUT NOT AT THE FAR END OF THE SPECTRUM.  

THE UNITED KINGDOM MUST BE THE ONLY COUNTRY WHERE A KIND OF FAR RIGHT PARTY, THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY, WINS THE ELECTION AND IS ASKED TO FORM GOVERNEMENT VERY OFTEN. IT IS THEN A PARTY OF GOVERNMENT AND SO IS THE LABOUR PARTY.

WHY IS THAT? IS IT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND ARE  RIGHT WING BIGOTS BY NATURE, OR IS IT BECAUSE MOST OF THE WRITTEN PRESS IS RIGHT WIND AND BRAINWASHES THEM? IT COULD BE, BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY ARE MILIONAIRES, FAR FROM THAT. 

THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM AT THIS LEVEL AND THE SCOTS DO NOT WANT TO BE PART OF THAT.

THE POLLS SHOW THAT THE YES AND NO  ARE NECK AND NECK.  HAVE THEY BEEN TELLING THE TRUTH? WE DO NOT KNOW. TOO MUCH IS AT STAKE AND WE WOULDN'T  PUT ANY DIRTY TRICK PAST THE POLLSTERS.  WE WILL SEE TOMORROW THURSDAY 18 SEP 2014 IF THE POLLS HAVE BEEN  RIGHT AND FAIR  OR IF THEY  HAVE SCREWD UP. 

WHEN WE  LOOK AT THE TRACK RECORD OF ALEX SALMOND, THE SCOTTISH FIRST MINISTER, WE  NOTICE THAT HE IS A GOOD SPRINTER. NOBODY PREDICTED  THAT HIS SNP  WOULD GET A MAJORITY AT HOLYROOD: IT DID.

NOW THEY SAY THAT THE YES CAMPAIGN CONDUCTED BY HIS PARTY, THE SNP,  IS THE UNDERDOG, BUT WE WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THEY SNATCHED  A MAJORITY AND MADE SCOTLAND AND INDEPENDENT COUNTRY.

WHY DOES THE TORY PARTY SAY THAT SCOTLAND WON'T  EASILY BECOME AN EU MEMBER , WHEN THE TORY PARTY THEMSELVES WANT TO LEAVE THE EU? WHAT WOULD BE THE FRUSTRATION OF SCOLTAND IF THE UK LEFT THE EUROPEAN UNION, WHEM WE KNOW THAT THE SCOTS ARE PRO-EUROPEANS? THE TORIES ARE NOT. THEY FUNDAMENTALISTS, RADICAL ISOLATIONISTS.

WE BELIEVE THAT IF SCOTLAND BECAME INDEPENDENT, IT WOULDN'T NEED TO APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP BECAUSE SCOTLAND  IS ALREADY IN. IT MEETS MORE THAN  THE  CRITERIA  REQUIRED FOR A FULL AND MATURE MEMBER. ALL THAT HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT KEEPING SCOTLAND OUT OF THE EU IS  DOWNRIGHT BULSHIT. 

SCOTAND WOULD BE WELCOMED IN THE EU THE FOLLOWING DAY AND WOULD MAKE A MUCH BETTER CONTRIBUTION TO THE EU THAN THE UNTED KINGDOM, WHEN THE TORIES ARE AT WHEEL OF THE UNITED KINGDOM: THEY ARE ALWAYS BRAINWASHING THE POPULATION AGAINST THE EU,  MOANING ABOUT SOMETHING AND PUTTING A SPANNER IN THE WORKS. WE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE UP TO AND HAVE SAID THAT LOADS OF TIMES.

THIS IS THE TORY BRAINWASHING MOTTO RELAYED EVERYDADY BY THE RIGHT WING NEWSPAPERS: UK GOOD - EU BAD- UK GOOD -  EU BAD - UK GOOD- EU  BAD- UK GOOD-EU BAD. IT LOOKS LIKE IT COMES OUT OF THE BRAVE NEW WORLD OR OF THE ANIMAL FARM. IT WORKS!

ANYWAY, WHOEVER WINS, AT THE END OF THE DAY IT WILL BE BUSINESS AS USUAL.

 IF THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND HAD STOPPED ELECTING THE RIGHT WING TORY PARTY, THE PEOPLE OF SCOTLAND  WOULD NEVER THINK OF   LEAVING THE UNITED KINGDOM. DO NOT BLAME THEM, BLAME YOURSELVES.

GOD BLESS YOU.

CARTESIAN TEAM -- MAPUTO

414 PRESENTE ENVENENADO PARA PUTIN

O TEAM DO BENFICA CATERSIANO NADA SURPREENDIDO

NO MEIO DO CESSAR FOGO SEM PARAR O COMBATE, O PRESIDENTE DA UCRÂNIA, PETRO POROSHENKO, OFERECE AUTONOMIA À REGIÃO LESTE.

QUE GRANDE JOGADA DE MESTRE!

A OFERTA DEIXOU O PRESIDENTE RUSSO E OLIGARKAS SEM VOZ.  OS ALTIFALANTES DA  RT, LEIAM:  ÓRGÃO  DE PROPAGANDA RUSSA,  AINDA NEM SEQUER TOCOU MUITO NO ASSUNTO. ESTÃO ESPERANDO PELA VOZ DO MESTRE, DO BIG BROTHER SPRESIDENTE.

NINGUÉM ALI DIZ MENTIRA NENHUMA SEM O SELO ESPECIAL DO MINISTÉRIO DA VERDADE OU DAS MENTIRAS  DOS INQUILINOS DA  KREMLIN HOUSE.

A JOGADA DE POROSHENKO DESARMA O KREMLIN PORQUE LHES RETIRA A LEGITIMIDADE DE CONTINUAREM  A GUERRA CONTRA A UCRÂNIA. 

SÓ QUE A REGIÃO LESTE JÁ ESTÁ  DE FACTO INVADIDA E OCUPADA PELO EXÉRCITO RUSSO, ENQUANTO QUE OS US E EUROPEUS AINDAM DE OLHOS FECHADOS, A INTEROGAREM-SE SE OS RUSSOS LÁ ESTARÃO, NÃO ESTARÃO, ESTARÃO SÓ NA FRONTEIRA? PARECE QUE ANDAM A ADOTAR A VERSÃO DA RT.

A AUTONOMIA NÃO É AQUILO QUE PUTINO QUER, ELE QUER ANEXAR AQUILO TUDO E DEPOIS DESTABILIZAR TODA A UCRÂNIA, PARTILA E COLOCÁ-LA DE JOELHOS A PEDIR PERDÃO POR SE QUERER EMANCIPAR.  DÍFICIL DE ESCAPAR ÀS GARRAS DO URSO SOVIÉTICO.

VAMOS AGORA VER COMO  O PUTINO VAI DESCALÇAR A BOTA E LEVANTAR VOO DA UCRÂNIA, QUANDO ESSA REGIÃO JÁ É A NOVORROSYA NA MENTE DELE. 

OBVIAMENTE QUE IRÁ DIZER AOS LACAIOS DESORDEIROS DE DONESTSK  PARA NÃO ACEITAREM AUTONOMIAS NENHUMAS, E SÓ A INDEPENDÊNCIA TOTAL OS SATISFARÁ.

 ISSO SIGNIFICA MAIS GUERRA E MAIS MORTOS E MAIS FERIDOS E MAIS DESTRUIÇÃO DAS CIDADES, DESTRIÇÃO TOTAL: A NO MAN´S LAND.

NO ENTANTO. POROSHENKO TERÁ MAIS TEMPO PARA PREPARAR AS TROPAS E REQUISITAR O ARMAMENTO NECESSÁRIO. QUEM SOFERÁ MAIS SERÃO AS POPULAÇÕES QUE POR ALI  VIVEM. DUVIDAMOS QUE ALGUÉM SOBREVIVA, À EXCEÇÃO DOS REFUGIADOS.

 

E QUEM PENSAR QUE OS DINAUSAUROS DO KREMLIN PÁRAM OU MUDAM DE RUMO EM ALARGAR AS FRONTEIRAS, ENGANA-SE BEM ENGANADO. TALVEZ O GENERAL PATON TIVESSE RAZÃO EM QUERER AVANÇAR PELA RÚSSIA FORA E TERMINAR O JOB. FOI REMOVIDO DO COMAMDO E RECAMBIADO PARA DONDE VEIO.

O MINISTÉRIO DOS NEGÓCIOS ESTRANGEIROS RUSSO JÁ ANDA NOUTRA ONDA, A ALVOROÇAR AS MINORIAS COLONIZADORAS QUE ESTALINE PLANTOU NA LETÓNIA, ESTÓNIA E NA LITUÂNIA. 

AQUILO É UMA QUESTÃO DE TEMPO ATÉ O ASSUNTO AMADURECER E A DESTABILIZAÇÃO COMEÇAR.  JÁ DIZEM EM VOZ ALTA QUE NÃO IRÃO TOLERAR DURANTE MUITO TEMPO O PROBLEMA DE CIDADANIA QUE OS IMIGRANTEs RUSSOS TÊM  NESSES PAÍSES  POR NÃO FALAREM AS LÍNGUAS INDÍGENAS.

a IDEIA DE ESTALINE QUANDO ENVIOU IMMIGRANTES PARA ESSES PAÍSES LIMÍTROFES ERA DE APAGAR ESSAS LÍNGUAS E CULTURAS E SOBREPOREM A ELAS A CULTURA E LÍNGUA RUSSA EM TODA A PARTE. QUASE QUE CONSEGUIU.

TANTOS OS RUSSOS COMO OS EUROPEUS QUE TENHAM JUÍZO NA BOLA, PORQUE O PERIGO VIRÁ DOUTRO LADO, E NÃO VIRÁ CERTAMENTE DAS AVENTURAS FANATO-TEOCRÁTICAS DO MÉDIO ORIENTE -- UMA GRANDE DISTRAÇÃO INFANTIL, EMBORA ESTEJA A PROVOCAR MUITO SOFRIMENTO DE PROPORÇÕES CATASTRÓFICAS.

UM GRANDE ABRAÇO AQUI DE MOÇAMBIQUE PARA OS NOSSOS AMIGOS DO MOVIMENTO PARA A PAZ NO MUNDO.

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM

413. RUSSOS LEVAM TANQUES DE FÉRIAS

CARTESIANO EM FÉRIAS NA UCRÂNIA

A MODA NO  EXÉRCITO  DA RÚSSIA É LEVAREM OS TANQUES DE GUERRA DE FÉRIAS À UCRÂNIA.  PENSAM QUE ASSIM TÊM MIAS SUCESSO COM O GÉNERO FEMININO. 

SÓ QUE ELAS NÃO ACHAM GRAÇA NENHUMA ÀQUILO  E ENTÃO A SOLDADESCA,  FRUSTADOS,  COMEÇAM A DISPARAR SOBRE TUDO INERTE OU MEXE.

A UCRÂNIA TORNOU-SE NUMA COLÓNIA BALNEAR MILITAR E INTERNACIONAL. E LEVAM COM ELES CANHÕES, KALASHNIKOVES, BOMBAS, ARMADILHAS, MÍSSEIS, SEM ESQUECER OS CAMUFLADOS! ESSA GENTE É MESMO DOIDA!

MAS NÃO DÃO LUCRO NENHUM, MATAM, ESFOLAM E  ESTOURAM TUDO QUANTO ESTÁ PERTO E LONGE!

FORA DAÍ E DEIXEM ESSA GENTE EM PAZ E SOSSEGO COMO ESTAVAM ANTES DOS COMISSARS AGITADORES, AGENTES DO PRESIDENTE PUTIM IREM PARA  AÍ A AGITAR AS CABEÇAS DESSA GENTE PACÍFICA.

VALEU A PENA? COM TANTA GENTE MORTA E FERIDA, CIDADES E ALDEIAS REDUZIDAS A ESCOMBROS? 

OBVIAMENTE QUE NÃO!  MAS HÁ ALGUMA COISA QUE PAGUE UMA VIDA? NÃO HÁ!

QUE GRANDE ASNEIRADA DO PRESIDENTE PUTIM, LAVROFE E DE TODA A CLIQUE MILITARISTA NACIONALISTA QUE O RODEIA!  TANTA DESGRAÇA E  SANGUE NA CONSCIÊNCIA!

VAMOS VER COMO SE SENTIRÁ O POVO RUSSO QUANDO ACORDAR DA BEBEDEIRA NACIONALISTA, DA PROPAGANDA E MENTIRAS GROSSEIRAS DA TELEVISÃO E JORNAIS CONTROLADOS PELA POLÍCIA SECRETA RUSSA.

INFELIZMENTE, A RÚSSIA AINDA NÃO SE CONSEGUIU LIBERTAR DAS DITADURAS. 

O OCIDENTE NÃO É O PARAÍSO, LONGE DISSO, O POVO PODE FALAR À VONTADE, CRITICAR OS POLÍTICOS, MANIFESTAR. PODE NÃO OBTER RESULTADOS, MAS DESABAFA E ISSO É BOM PARA A SAÚDE MENTAL. 

MAS NÃO É LEVADO A TRIBUNAL POR ISSO, NÃO DESAPARECE DA SUPERFÍCIE DA TERRA SEM MAIS NEM MENOS, NÃO É METIDO NA PRISÃO E ASSASSINADO EM SEGREDO. SOBRETUDO, NÃO RECEIA SER INCOMODADO PELOS SERVIÇOS SECRETOS POR DISCORDAR DA AÇÃO DOS GOVERNOS.

TODO O GOVERNO QUE É HONESTO NÃO TEME A OPOSIÇÃO NEM O POVO. OS GOVERNOS SÃO REPRESSIVOS PORQUE SÃO DESONESTOS, CORRUPTOS, QUEREM CONTINUAR ASSIM A SERVIREM-SE A ELES PRÓPRIOS E AOS AMIGOS, E PERSEGUEM TUDO QUANTO ABRE A BOCA E DIZ A VERDADE.

PORÉM,  VOCÊS AI NA EUROPA E AQUI NA ÁFRIKA AINDA PIOR, DEVEM SABER QUE NÃO PODEM DESTABILIZAR NEM AMEAÇAR O SISTEMA ESTABELECIDO. SE OS PODERES ESTABELECIDOS  CONSIDERAREM QUE VOCÊ É MUITO FORTE E SE TORNOU UM PERIGO PARA ELES, ENTÃO LIMPAM-SE O SARAMPO NUM ÁPICE. NEM VOCÊ NEM  NINGUÉM  CONSEGUIRÁ VRNCER O SISTEMA,

ESSA GRANDE MÁQUINA-MONSTRO, CUJAS ENGRENAGENS ESMAGAM,  TRITURAM, DESTROEM TUDO QUANTO SE SE LHE OPÕE PERIGOSAMENTE. SEU PODER  ESTÁ ACIMA DE TUDO, É MAIS FORTE DO QUE TUDO E ESCAPA AO CONTROLE DE QUALQUER INDIVÍDIUO, DE ALTA E AINDA MUITO MAIS DE BAIXA PATENTE. É  COMO UMA FORÇA DA NATUREZA.

 ACONSELHAMOS MUITA PRUDÊNCIA AOS NOSSOS AMIGOS, AMIGOS DA LIBERDADE. VALE MAIS UM COBARDE VIVO DO QUE UM HERÓI MORTO. A NÃO SER QUE QUEIRA SER KAMIKAZE.

A RÚSSIA TAMBÉM SE TORNARÁ LIVRE, PORQUE A LIBERDADE É INATA AO SER HUMANO. A LIBERDADE DO POVO RUSSO TAMBÉM SE TORNARÁ  REALIDADE. ISSO É UMA QUESTÃO DE TEMPO, E SERÁ MUITO MAIS CEDO DO QUE AS PESSOAS PENSAM. 

ESSA LIBERDADE JÁ ANDA A FERMENTAR HÁ MUITO TEMPO NA MENTE DO POVO RUSSO!  AS DITADURAS, VENHAM  ELAS DE PUTINS OU DE OUTROS, NÃO SÃO SUSTENTÁVEIS, É DIFÍCIL MANTÊ-LAS.

NÓS ENVIAMOS DE MOÇAMBIQUE  UM GRANDE ABRAÇO AO POVO DA UCRÂNIA QUE SOFRE DAS CONSEQUÊNCIAS DA AÇÃO ASSASSINA DO PRESIDENTE RUSSO, E TAMBÉM AOS PENSADORES LIVRES RUSSOS, OS QUAIS VIVEM APAVORADOS PELA SECRETA RUSSA.

Ukraine truce shaken by new shelling

A "siege mentality" is setting in at the Kremlin over Ukraine

Continue reading the main story

Ukraine crisis

• Nato's reaction force
• Frontier Finns
• Foreign fighters on both sides
• Chill with Russia

The Kremlin is a very different seat of power from 10 Downing Street, the Elysee Palace or the Washington White House.

The word Kremlin means "fortress".

For hundreds of years, that is exactly what it has been, with high walls, towers and a moat; besieged by foreign invaders, from the Polish army in the early 17th Century, to Napoleon 200 years later.

Today there are no foreign armies knocking at the gates.

Yet once again the Kremlin feels threatened.

Whether these are phantom fears or grounded in reality, they are fuelling a siege mentality at the heart of Russian power - one which is dictating Kremlin policy on Ukraine and on the West.

"Putin sincerely believes that 'Orange Revolutions' in Ukraine were instigated by the US State Department and that Kiev's Association Agreement with the European Union is an EU conspiracy to take dominance of Ukraine," says political analyst Andrei Piontkovsky.

"He hates the West for it and despises it."

Many in the Kremlin saw Ukraine's 2004 "Orange Revolution" as part of a pattern of Western encroachment

This week, one of Russia's most popular newspapers, Komsomolskaya Pravda, published an article entitled, "America is tightening the Anaconda Loop around Russia".

In the piece, a Russian military analyst claimed that Washington's geopolitical doctrine was geared to squeezing Moscow into submission like a great snake.

He argued that the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the USSR were the first two American "snake loops" around Moscow.

"Now," he concluded, "they want to build on their success by dragging Ukraine from Russia".

"The American end game is quite clear: it's global domination," claims the pro-Kremlin MP Vyacheslav Nikonov.

"The way to achieve that is to prevent the emergence of centres of power that can challenge this global domination. Russia looks more and more like a rising centre of power. So the end game is to weaken Russia."

Breakdown of trust

When Vladimir Putin came to power 15 years ago, the language coming out of Moscow was very different.

In March 2000, Mr Putin invited then British Prime Minister Tony Blair to St Petersburg and praised him as a "wonderful partner".

A few days earlier, in a BBC interview, the Russian leader had even raised the possibility of Russia joining Nato.

"I don't see why not," Mr Putin had said, "I would not rule out such a possibility... if, and when, Russia's views are taken into account as those of an equal partner."

"Common interests" - British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Russian President Putin 14 years ago

Since then, Moscow believes its views have been ignored.

Nato maintains that the alliance's eastward enlargement in Europe has helped spread freedom, peace and stability across Europe.

The view from Moscow has been rather different.

The Kremlin has watched Nato moving closer and closer to Russia's border.

"It is part of Putin's mind, he is afraid of this," believes Sergei Aleksashenko, a former deputy finance minister in the Russian government.

"He believes the enlargement of Nato has changed the geopolitical balance in Europe and creates more dangers for Russia.

"We may disagree with those views, but if Russia's leader is afraid, that means no-one in the West was able to explain to him it is not true or reach agreement.

"It is very easy to blame Putin himself and call him paranoid, but politics is a game for two people, for two sides."

Instruments of power

Yet Western leaders believe it is the other way round, that it is the Russian president who has changed the geopolitical balance in Europe, by annexing Crimea and by fomenting unrest in eastern Ukraine.

They fear that President Putin's policy on Ukraine is creating huge dangers for Europe.

In this atmosphere of mutual finger-pointing there now appears to be a total lack of trust between Moscow and the West.

A senior Russian foreign policy strategist with close links to the Kremlin told me there were no Western politicians President Putin felt comfortable negotiating with on Ukraine.

He claimed that the Kremlin had warned the West "dozens of times" not to meddle in Ukraine, but that all of Moscow's warnings went ignored.

"I can't see anybody now in Russia or in the West who could stop this," he concluded.

President Barack Obama has accused Russia of a "brazen assault" on Ukraine.

There is growing evidence of direct Russian military involvement in the conflict there.

What is President Putin hoping to achieve?

"His ultimate objective is his presidency for life. So, Ukraine has no right to become a democratic, economically open state. From Putin's point of view, that would create a very bad example for Russia," believes Andrei Piontkovsky.

He predicts the Kremlin will try to "freeze" the conflict in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in such a way as to leave Kiev weak and Moscow strong.

Source: IISS data and estimates

"If these two regions were given a special status within Ukraine, they would become Putin's instrument of destabilisation of Ukraine, his instrument for shackling Ukraine in certain geopolitical limits, like Trans-Dniester in Moldova or South Ossetia and Abkhazia in Georgia."

How will the Kremlin respond to more Nato troops and equipment in former Soviet bloc countries?

"In political gambling, Putin respects only brutal force," says Sergei Aleksashenko.

"He does not believe in win-win solutions. He believes that in political life there is only win or lose.

"If he believes Nato bases in the Baltic or Eastern Europe will be a danger to Russia, he will find some opposite decision.

"He believes that if he allows Nato to move its bases to Russia's borders that will be the defeat of Russia. And Putin doesn't like defeats."
