text: Latest News First Iraq and Turkey – now Iraq and Iran hold joint military drills Iraq, Iran and Turkey are forming a united military front against Kurdish secessionism. Published 1 year ago on September 30, 2017 By Adam 3,216 Views Share Tweet In July of this year, Iraq and Iran signed a military agreement on future military cooperation which helps to solidify the fact that Iran is now Iraq's most important international partner. At the time, the agreement was thought to be primarily about Iraq utilising Iranian military strength and counter-terrorism intelligence in the battle against Salafist/Takfiri terrorism. CONFIRMED: Iraq signs military cooperation agreement with Iran Now however, it would appear that the agreement will also pertain to defensive measures against Kurdish secessionism in Iraq, something which Baghdad and Tehran oppose with equal resolve. Today, Iran and Iraq begin joint military exercises in the borderlands of the two nations, specifically in areas near to so-called Iraqi Kurdistan. Sputnik reports, "The Armed Forces of Iran and Iraq will hold joint border drills within several days, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Massoud Jazayeri said on Saturday. 'The joint drills … will be held within several days in border areas,' Jazayeri said, as quoted by the ISNA news agency. The statement was made less than a week after Iraqi Kurdistan's referendum on the region's independence from Baghdad. According to the official results of Kurdistan's Independent High Elections and Referendum Commission, 92.7 percent of the voters cast their ballots in support of independence. Both Iran and Iraq criticized the independence vote. This comes as Turkey and Iraq have also conducted joint military drills on the Turkish side of the Iraqi border. Turkey and Iran conduct massive military drills near Kurdish regions of Iraq The unilateral Kurdish secession referendum which is opposed by all world powers except for Israel, has helped to galvanise the already strong Iranian-Iraqi alliance while also helping to draw Iraq closer to Turkey. Turkey had previously vowed to cut off Kurdish regions of Iraq with a large scale economic embargo. Turkey's President Erdogan also indicated that military intervention is possible. Both Turkey and Iran have helped to create a no-fly zone over Kurdish regions, a move which has Baghdad's full support. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 18 hours ago on December 18, 2018 By Seraphim Hanisch One of the charges that nationalist Ukrainians often lodge against their Russian neighbors is that the Russian government has never acknowledged or formally apologized to Ukraine for the "Holodomor" that took place in Ukraine in 1932-1933. This was a man-made famine that killed an estimated seven to 10 million Ukrainians , though higher estimates claim 12.5 million and lower ones now claim 3.3 million. No matter what the total was, it amounts to a lot of people that starved to death. The charge that modern-day Russia ought to apologize for this event is usually met with silence, which further enrages those Ukrainians that believe that this issue must be resolved by the Russian acknowledgement of responsibility for it. Indeed, the prime charge of these Ukrainians is that the Russians committed a genocide against the Ukrainian people. This is a claim Russia denies. To the outside observer who does not know this history of Russia and Ukraine's relationship, and who does not know or understand the characteristics of the Soviet Union, this charge seems as simple and laid out as that of the Native Americans or the blacks demanding some sort of recompense or restitution for the damages inflicted on these societies through conquest and / or slavery. But we discovered someone who had family connections involved in the Holodomor, and who offers her own perspective, which is instructive in why perhaps the Russian Federation does not say anything about this situation. Scene in Kharkiv with dead from the famine 1932-33 lying along the street. The speaker is Anna Vinogradova, a Russian Israeli-American, who answered the question through Quora of "Why doesn't Russia recognize the Holodomor as a genocide?" She openly admits that she speaks only for herself, but her answer is still instructive. We offer it here, with some corrections for the sake of smooth and understandable English: I can't speak for Russia and what it does and doesn't recognize. I can speak for myself. I am a great-granddaughter of a "Kulak" (кулак), or well-to-do peasant, who lived close to the Russia/Ukraine border. The word "кулак" means "fist" in Russian, and it wasn't a good thing for a person to be called by this label. A кулак was an exploiter of peasants and a class enemy of the new state of workers and poor peasants. In other words, while under Communism, to be called a кулак was to bring a death sentence upon yourself. At some point, every rural class enemy, every peasant who wasn't a member of a collective farm was eliminated one way or another. Because Ukraine has very fertile land and the Ukrainian style of agriculture often favors individual farms as opposed to villages, there is no question that many, many Ukrainian peasants were considered class enemies like my great grandfather, and eliminated in class warfare. I have no doubt that class warfare included starvation, among other things. The catch? My great grandfather was an ethnic Russian living in Russia. What nationality were the communists who persecuted and eventually shot him? They were of every nationality there was (in the Soviet Union), and they were led by a Ukrainian, who was taking orders from a Georgian. Now, tell me, why I, a descendant of an unjustly killed Russian peasant, need to apologize to the descendants of the Ukrainians who killed him on the orders of a Georgian? What about the Russian, Kazakh golodomor (Russian rendering of the same famine)? What about the butchers, who came from all ethnicities? Can someone explain why it's only okay to talk about Ukrainian victims and Russian persecutors? Why do we need to rewrite history decades later to convert that brutal class war into an ethnic war that it wasn't? Ethnic warfare did not start in Russia until after WWII, when some ethnicities were accused of collaboration with the Nazis and brutal group punishments were implemented. It was all based on class up to that time. The communists of those years were fanatically internationalist. "Working people of all countries, unite!" was their slogan and they were fanatical about it. As for the crimes of Communism, Russia has been healing this wound for decades, and Russia's government has made its anticommunist position very clear. This testimony is most instructive. First, it points out information that the charge of the Holodomor as "genocide!" neatly leaves out. In identifying the internationalist aspects of the Soviet Union, Ukraine further was not a country identified as somehow worthy of genocidal actions. Such a thought makes no sense, especially given the great importance of Ukraine as the "breadbasket" of the Soviet Union, which it was. Secondly, it shows a very western-style of "divide to conquer" with a conveniently incendiary single-word propaganda tool that is no doubt able to excite any Ukrainian who may be neutral to slightly disaffected about Russia, and then after that, all Ukrainians are now victims of the mighty evil overlords in Moscow. How convenient is this when the evil overlords in Kyiv don't want their citizens to know what they are doing? We saw this on Saturday – taken to a very high peak when President Petro Poroshenko announced the new leading "Hierarch" of the "Ukrainian National Church" and said not one single word about Christ, but only: "This day will go down in history as the day of the creation of an autocephalous Orthodox church in Ukraine… This is the day of the creation of the church as an independent structure… What is this church? It is a church without Putin. It is a church without Kirill, without prayer for the Russian authorities and the Russian army." But as long as Russia is made the "problem", millions of scandalized Ukrainians will not care what this new Church actually does or teaches, which means it is likely to teach just about anything. Russia had its own Holodomor. The history of the event shows that this was a result of several factors – imposed socialist economics on a deeply individualized form of agrarian capitalism (bad for morale and worse for food production), really inane centralized planning of cropland use, and a governmental structure that really did not exist to serve the governed, but to impose an ideology on people who really were not all that interested in it. Personal blame might well lay with Stalin, a Georgian, but the biggest source of the famine lay in the structures imposed under communism as a way of economic strategy. This is not Russia's fault. It is the economic model that failed. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

The memo – in full below – details then-national security adviser Michael Flynn's interview with FBI agents Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka, and shows Flynn was repeatedly asked about his contacts with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and in each instance, Flynn denied (or did not recall) any such conversations. The agents had transcripts of Flynn's phone calls to Russian Ambassador Kislyak, thus showing Flynn to be lying. Flynn pleaded guilty guilty last December to lying to the FBI agents about those conversations with Kislyak. The redactions in the document seem oddly placed but otherwise, there is nothing remarkable about the content… Aside from perhaps Flynn's incredulity at the media attention… Flynn is set to be sentenced in that federal court on Tuesday. Of course, as Christina Laila notes, the real crime is that Flynn was unmasked during his phone calls to Kislyak and his calls were illegally leaked by a senior Obama official to the Washington Post. * * * Full document below… Liked it?

Continue Reading Latest Don't Laugh : It's Giving Putin What He Wants The fact of the matter is that humorous lampooning of western establishment Russia narratives writes itself. Published 19 hours ago on December 18, 2018 By Caitlin Johnstone Authored by Caitlin Johnstone: The BBC has published an article titled "How Putin's Russia turned humour into a weapon" about the Kremlin's latest addition to its horrifying deadly hybrid warfare arsenal: comedy. The article is authored by Olga Robinson, whom the BBC, unhindered by any trace of self-awareness, has titled "Senior Journalist (Disinformation)". Robinson demonstrates the qualifications and acumen which earned her that title by warning the BBC's audience that the Kremlin has been using humor to dismiss and ridicule accusations that have been leveled against it by western governments, a "form of trolling" that she reports is designed to "deliberately lower the level of discussion". Turns out jokes are a Russian disinformation conspiracy.Is nothing safe? What will those barbarian Others think of next? Weaponizing our tears? https://t.co/0CFcTL65q0 — Mark Ames (@MarkAmesExiled) December 15, 2018 "Russia's move towards using humour to influence its campaigns is a relatively recent phenomenon," Robinson explains, without speculating as to why Russians might have suddenly begun laughing at their western accusers. She gives no consideration to the possibility that the tightly knit alliance of western nations who suddenly began hysterically shrieking about Russia two years ago have simply gotten much more ridiculous and easier to make fun of during that time. Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the emergence of a demented media environment wherein everything around the world from French protests to American culture wars to British discontent with the European Union gets blamed on Russia without any facts or evidence. Wherein BBC reporters now correct guests and caution them against voicing skepticism of anti-Russia narratives because the UK is in "an information war" with that nation. Wherein the same cable news Russiagate pundit can claim that both Rex Tillerson's hiring and his later firing were the result of a Russian conspiracy to benefit the Kremlin. Wherein mainstream outlets can circulate blatantly false information about Julian Assange and unnamed "Russians" and then blame the falseness of that reporting on Russian disinformation. Wherein Pokemon Go, cutesy Facebook memes and $4,700 in Google ads are sincerely cited as methods by which Hillary Clinton's $1.2 billion presidential campaign was outdone. Wherein conspiracy theories that Putin has infiltrated the highest levels of the US government have been blaring on mainstream headline news for two years with absolutely nothing to show for it to this day. Nope, the only possibility is that the Kremlin suddenly figured out that humor is a thing. The fact of the matter is that humorous lampooning of western establishment Russia narratives writes itself. The hypocrisy is so cartoonish, the emotions are so breathlessly over-the-top, the stories so riddled with plot holes and the agendas underlying them so glaringly obvious that they translate very easily into laughs. I myself recently authored a satire piece that a lot of people loved and which got picked up by numerous alternative media outlets, and all I did was write down all the various escalations this administration has made against Russia as though they were commands being given to Trump by Putin. It was extremely easy to write, and it was pretty damn funny if I do say so myself. And it didn't take any Kremlin rubles or dezinformatsiya from St Petersburg to figure out how to write it. "Ben Nimmo, an Atlantic Council researcher on Russian disinformation, told the BBC that attempts to create funny memes were part of the strategy as 'disinformation for the information age'," the article warns. Nimmo, ironically, is himself intimately involved with the British domestic disinformation firm Integrity Initiative, whose shady government-sponsored psyops against the Labour Party have sparked a national scandal that is likely far from reaching peak intensity. "Most comedy programmes on Russian state television these days are anodyne affairs which either do not touch on political topics, or direct humour at the Kremlin's perceived enemies abroad," Robinson writes, which I found funny since I'd just recently read an excellent essay by Michael Tracey titled "Why has late night swapped laughs for lusting after Mueller?" "If the late night 'comedy' of the Trump era has something resembling a 'message,' it's that large segments of the nation's liberal TV viewership are nervously tracking every Russia development with a passion that cannot be conducive to mental health – or for that matter, political efficacy," Tracey writes, documenting numerous examples of the ways late night comedy now has audiences cheering for a US intelligence insider and Bush appointee instead of challenging power-serving media orthodoxies as programs like The Daily Show once did. If you wanted the opposite of "anodyne affairs", it would be comedians ridiculing the way all the establishment talking heads are manipulating their audiences into supporting the US intelligence community and FBI insiders. It would be excoriating the media environment in which unfathomably powerful world-dominating government agencies are subject to less scrutiny and criticism than a man trapped in an embassy who published inconvenient facts about those agencies. It certainly wouldn't be the cast of Saturday Night Live singing "All I Want for Christmas Is You" to a framed portrait if Robert Mueller wearing a Santa hat. It doesn't get much more anodyne than that. Russia makes fun of western establishment narratives about it because those narratives are so incredibly easy to make fun of that they are essentially asking for it, and the nerdy way empire loyalists are suddenly crying victim about it is itself more comedy. When Guardian writer Carole Cadwalladr began insinuating that RT covering standard newsworthy people like Julian Assange and Nigel Farage was a conspiracy to "boost" those people for the advancement of Russian agendas instead of a news outlet doing the thing that news reporting is, RT rightly made fun of her for it. Cadwalladr reacted to RT's mockery with a claim that she was a victim of "attacks", instead of the recipient of perfectly justified ridicule for circulating an intensely moronic conspiracy theory. Ah well. People are nuts and we're hurtling toward a direct confrontation with a nuclear superpower. Sometimes there's nothing else to do but laugh. As Wavy Gravy said, "Keep your sense of humor, my friend; if you don't have a sense of humor it just isn't funny anymore." Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

One Spark lights up Jacksonville | News
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The One Spark festival is kicking off Wednesday after years of planning, and creators of the idea could not be more thrilled.
"This really started on a napkin at Panera one day with myself and a few friends," said One Spark founder Elton Rivas.
He helped bring the idea from a paper product to a festival with an expected crowd of more than 10,000 people ... and each and every one of them get to be part of it.
"It's one of those festivals where you really get to be engaged with the creators or the people who are part of this process," he said.
The idea of the festival is ideas.
Creators from all over the world will showcase their best inventions, hoping to earn a quarter of a million dollars.
RELATED: One Spark festival traffic and road closure information
The crowd votes on who wins the money, and can give to the inventions they're inspired by.
"With One Spark you have the ability to contribute, so it's real time crowd funding, and that's not being done anywhere else in the world," he said.
It's taken years of planning to get to this point, and no small show of support from the community.
The City of Jacksonville has contributed $85,000 in public money to get it off the ground.
"We're really hoping that downtown shows off. There's a lot of creators, there's going to be a lot of energy. We're hoping that people see the potential and the vibrancy in downtown," said City Spokesman David Decamp.
Decamp said they've stepped up security and have tried to plan for every contingency; creator Elton thinks they're ready.
"We couldn't be more proud of how this has come together to make One Spark a Jacksonville event," he said.
The event starts in downtown Jacksonville Wednesday at 6pm.

MILWAUKEE (AP) Jonathan Lucroy has been frustrated, struggling at the plate the past month despite being named to his first All-Star team.
That all changed Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds.
Lucroy homered leading off the bottom of the ninth to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 4-3 victory over the Reds.
''To be honest with you, the last couple of weeks have been kind of tough for making solid contact, but I'm glad to help the team out, contribute and get it done tonight,'' said Lucroy, who was batting just .200 (21 for 105) in his last 25 games.
It was Lucroy's second homer of the game and 11th of the season. It was his second career walkoff homer and both were against the Reds. His first was last season off closer Aroldis Chapman and this one was off Sam LeCure.
The Brewers had lost five consecutive series before beating the Reds in the first two games of this series.
Lucroy's average had dipped from .341 on June 18 to .308 entering Tuesday night's game.
''He's frustrated because he thinks he's squaring up some balls,'' Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. ''It's not like he wasn't locked in, but today obviously he was.''
Francisco Rodriguez (4-3) pitched the ninth to earn the victory.
Cincinnati, which is 0-5 since the All-Star break, brought in LeCure (1-2) to pitch the ninth. His outing lasted just three pitches as Lucroy hit a 1-1 offering for a line drive homer inside the left field foul pole.
His first homer of the game was on a 3-2 pitch from starter Homer Bailey in the sixth.
The Reds came out of the All-Star break just 1 1/2 games behind Milwaukee in the NL Central but have quickly fallen 4 1/2 games back.
''We just haven't executed,'' Cincinnati manager Bryan Price said. ''We haven't swung the bats well. We haven't gotten a quality start.
''And we haven't played particularly good defense, we've missed some signs and just haven't played terribly well,'' he said.
Milwaukee scored all its runs on solo home runs. Ryan Braun and Aramis Ramirez hit back-to-back homers in the first inning on the one-year anniversary of the start of Braun's 65-game suspension for violating Major League Baseball's drug policies.
''I'm glad I'm not facing them so it's nice to have them on our side,'' Milwaukee starter Jimmy Nelson said of having Braun, Ramirez and Lucroy in the lineup.
Braun hit his 13th homer and Ramirez followed with his 12th homer, and first since June 26.
Cincinnati made it 2-1 in the fourth on Jay Bruce's RBI double that scored Billy Hamilton from third.
Lucroy's first homer extended Milwaukee's lead to 3-1.
Cincinnati tied it 3-3 in the seventh. Nelson hit Ramon Santiago on the foot with a pitch with the bases loaded and pinch-hitter Chris Heisey hit a sacrifice fly off reliever Brandon Kintzler.
Billy Hamilton then hit a soft fly ball but Zack Cozart was doubled off second base to end the inning.
Kintzler, Zach Duke and Rodriguez pitched three hitless innings of relief for Milwaukee.
''Kintzler did a great job, coming in with the bases loaded and no outs,'' Nelson said.
The Reds managed only five hits and Milwaukee had six.
Nelson allowed three runs, four hits and a walk and hit three batters while striking out five in his fourth major league start.
''He was down in the zone and his slider was good,'' Roenicke said.
Bailey allowed three runs, four hits and two walks while striking out three in his first start since leaving a game against the Chicago Cubs on July 10 due to right knee soreness.
NOTES: Brewers 2B Scooter Gennett left the game in the fifth inning due to tightness in his right quad. Roenicke said he was day-to-day. ... Cozart left the game after being hit on the right hand by a pitch from Nelson in the seventh inning. X-rays were negative and the team said he was day-to-day. ... The Reds placed RHP Logan Ondrusek on the 15-day DL retroactive to July 13 and recalled RHP Curtis Partch from Triple-A Louisville. ... A brief rain shower caused the Brewers to close roof at Miller Park in the fourth inning. It reopened in the sixth.

I think this game is singular with respect to the neo library - it does what it does to a very high standard, and plus the look of it is after all these years still absolutely breathtaking. the whole of the first level, culminating in the fight with the first boss - the background transitions - everything - I'm still blown away by it. I remember when it had just come out, I thought it looked amazing, that hasn't changed much.
An R-Type-type game excellently well executed. Graphically it appears to take after Irem, it's one of the most well crafted arcade experiences for the system together with the likes of Metal Slug in my opinion.
am I overstating things? yes probably.
I just wish the AES wasn't so damn expensive these days. even though I sold my neo years ago, I would own this game for the item itself.
I had it some 10 years ago, never thought the price would creep up so much.

CRESTVIEW � The Okaloosa County Democratic Executive Committee is reaching out to Crestview residents with a March 28 meeting featuring guest speaker, Okaloosa County Commissioner Nathan Boyles.
CRESTVIEW � The Okaloosa County Democratic Executive Committee is reaching out to Crestview residents with a March 28 meeting featuring guest speaker, Okaloosa County Commissioner Nathan Boyles.
Boyles� Republican Party affiliation had no impact on his selection, Hootnanny Social Club organizers said of the gathering at Coach-N-Four Steakhouse � one of many speaking engagements the group will schedule to mobilize local Democrats.
"It doesn't have to be a Democrat that can come and speak to us; it just has to be someone that respects us and will be upfront with their answers," John Whitley, Florida Democratic Party State Committeeman, said.
The committee � which has one office covering the whole county in Shalimar � wants to bring more area Democrats together and raise funds for a Crestview office. A branch here would help the organization focus on north county events while the Shalimar office would focus on the south end, he said.
"We're just looking to branch out and hopefully double our numbers," Whitley said.
No immediate plans or locations have been considered at this time.
The committee also wants to see increased involvement in the community, Whitley said.
"There is a lot more Democrats in north Okaloosa than you would think," he said. "Democrats around here need to socialize."
Motivating local Democrats to register to vote � and vote in all elections, not just for president of the United States � is a focal point.
Another goal is to attract 18- to 40-year-olds for Young Democrats and have them participate in each election.
In the past, the committee was present exclusively during the presidential election, every four years. The organization wants to change that.
"We don't want to take people's votes for granted," Whitley said. "It�s our job to be present during events that are important to them. Especially if there is someone locally that is running as a Democrat."
The committee plans to continue to participate in local events including the Triple B: Blackwater, Bluegrass & BBQ Cookoff on April 6.
Want to go?
Hootnanny, the Okaloosa Democratic Executive Committee's social club, will meet at 6 p.m. March 28 at Coach-N-Four Steakhouse, 114 John King Road. Contact John Whitley, 240-7751 or email@example.com, to RSVP.
