Russia
May 28, 2016 – Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Protaton Church in Karyes, on Mount Athos, Saturday. He thanked the community for welcoming him warmly and praised the acts that are conducted on the peninsula that is home to 20 monasteries.
Greek Orthodox priest (Greek): “Today we are living in an era in which peace around us is under challenge due to terrorism, the collapse of the states, religious fanaticism and other reasons. It is necessary for peaceful people to cooperate in order to maintain peace.”
Vladimir Putin, Russian President (Russian): “Brothers of the Holy Mount Athos! I want to thank you for the warm welcome. I am here for the second time and always feel the warmth and the best attitude not only to me as the head of the Russian state, but also to all Russian people.”
Vladimir Putin, Russian President (Russian): “Very important acts for the Orthodox world are conducted at Mount Athos. These acts are about preservation of the moral foundations of our society. Largely you are the source of this well-being and grace.”

The West Made Ukraine Secessionism Legal by Establishing the Kosovo Precedent
This week Eric welcomes back to the program Laura Carlsen, director of the Americas Program at the Center for International Policy, to discuss the ongoing disappearances of activists in Mexico, the reassertion of US hegemony in Latin America, and how militarization and free trade are the cornerstones of US imperial power in the region. Eric and Laura begin with an analysis of the recent kidnappings of Mexican activists and the frightening similarities with the infamous Ayotzinapa disappearances of 2014. The conversation then shifts to Central America and Honduras, and the role of Hillary Clinton and the US in that country. Eric and Laura also discuss how the Trans-Pacific Partnership and privatization are at the heart of much of the negative developments in the Americas, and how this drive is connected to geopolitical and strategic considerations. All this and much more in this wide ranging conversation.

Fmr. Russian Energy Minister Shafranik: Russia Will Continue to Serve as Europe’s Main Energy Source
In an interview with the Lebanese Mayadeen TV channel, former Russian Energy Minister Yuri Shafranik said that despite the increased production of American oil, Russia would continue to serve as Europe’s main source of energy. Shafranik, the chairman of the union of Russian oil and gas producers, dismissed the possibility of Qatar and Iran constituting real competition to Russian gas in the European market. He explained that a decade of stability would be needed to establish a corridor from Iran, through Iraq, to Syria and from there to Europe, and that only Russia was capable of meeting emergency demand in the global energy market, as proven in the Fukushima disaster. The interview aired on May 11, 2016.
The US and NATO

The Sun Will Rise – Questioning Israel in UK
May 28, 2016 – Sixty eight years ago, Israel was created after Palestine was stolen and ethnically cleansed by Zionist invaders, mainly from Europe.
In Britain, senior politicians within the Conservative and Labour parties are now saying that anyone who hates Israel or questions its “right to exist” are anti-Semites. They say we can criticize some of the harsher aspects of Israel’s policies, but not the existence of Israel itself. And this message is being echoed by the mainstream media in the UK and the wider Western world.
To question Israel’s right to exist has become the cardinal sin in the mainstream media, but Rabbi Jacob Weisz thinks that Israel’s legitimacy should be questioned as it has neither a religious justification nor any political justification.
The rabbi argues that the existence of Israel is not only unjust to the Palestinians but also unjust to the whole Jewish community as it tarnishes their name and their religion with an illegitimate state.
