Unknown Snipers Once Again Stir Up Violence … This Time In Crimea
Shouldn’t We Find Out Who’s Responsible Before We Start Beating the War Drums?
After a Ukranian soldier at a base in Crimea was killed, Ukraine announced that the murder was a “war crime”, and that Ukranians could use live fire to protect themselves.
Fair enough.
But no one knows who actually pulled the trigger. The Independent
reports:
However, there were indications that it was the separatist Crimean government’s recently created “Self Defence Forces” who had actually carried out the fatal attack. Local officials, meanwhile, claimed that “fascist snipers” had fired the first shot from a residential building and one of the injured was one of the defence force members.

Local authorities presented a different version of what had taken place. A police officer said: “There were snipers who were using peoples’ homes to start shooting, that was the provocation. One of those injured was from the Self Defence Forces.”

GMO and Biotechnology - Corporations vs. People
Are governments protecting citizens or corporations? Most regulations on GMO and biotechnology indicate legislators either ignore their impact on health or defend the interests of the biotech industry.
|
Food and Farming Secretary Owen Paterson has been called a puppet of the sector and is either ignorant of or is wholly misrepresenting the efficacy and health impacts of GMOs. Anne Glover, Chief Scientific Advisor of the European Commission, has been accused of presenting lies as facts over the GM issue.

Listen to the Global Research News Hour!
On March 16, a massive turn-out of people in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea cast a ballot to decide the enclave's future.
The final results found that with 81.3% of eligible voters in Crimea participating in the referendum, more than 96% chose to rejoin Russia.
Western nations, including the US and Canada say they will not recognize the result of the vote. Moreover, the US and EU are pursuing economic sanctions against Russia, supposedly as punishment for its violation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine.
The West's concept of popular democracy seems to be highly nuanced.
