IMÁGENES DE SATÉLITE REVELAN QUE CHINA PODRÍA ESTAR PREPARÁNDOSE PARA INVADIR TAIWAN


 Visto en: El Microlector
Una serie de imágenes de satélite confirman que durante el año 2014 y principios de 2015, China ha construido un edificio que se asemeja mucho al palacio presidencial de Taiwan, con fines de entrenamiento militar.


El falso edificio está situado en la región de la Mongolia Interior, en la base militar de Zhurihe, considerada como la mayor base de entrenamiento militar de asia y la más moderna.


El edificio falso está situado en una cuadrícula de nueva construcción, con calles y edificios, que tiene similitudes con el centro de la capital de Taiwán, lo que ha llevado a concluir que el ejército chino podría estar entrenándose para invadir Taiwan.

China ya construyó una falsa réplica de un aeropuerto militar-civil en la ciudad costera de Taichung, en Taiwan, presuntamente también para llevar a cabo posibles entrenamientos para una invasión de la isla.


Se estima que las imágenes reveladas tener un componente de propaganda China y de presión sobre Taiwan, que celebrará unas elecciones presidenciales en enero de 2016.

2 EJEMPLOS QUE EXPLICAN LA DECADENCIA DE EEUU

Las causas para esta “caída del imperio” són múltiples y podrían escribirse gruesos tratados políticos, económicos, sociológicos y militares sobre ellos.
Pero en este artículo, solo expondremos un par de ejemplos que, de alguna forma, exponen el por qué de esta decadencia imparable.
UN CASCO DE 400.000 DÓLARES
¿Alguien cree que es sostenible económicamente un ejército en el que un casco puede costar 400.000 dólares?
Bien, pues esto es lo que se está gastando el gobierno de EEUU (con dinero de sus contribuyentes) para equipar a los pilotos del avión de combate F-35 Lightning II.
Cabe destacar que el súper-mega-ultra-moderno F-35 es considerado el mayor fiasco de la aviación militar a lo largo de su historia.
Una pequeña introducción al maravilloso mundo del F-35, tal y como nos lo explican en la web de Gizmodo:

Estaba destinado a ser el caza más avanzado de la historia pero va camino de quedarse en el mayor fiasco. Con casi una década de retraso en su desarrollo y un coste el doble de lo estimado inicialmente, el F-35, fabricado por Lockheed Martin, sigue presentando infinitos problemas técnicos que ponen en duda su futuro.
El primero de ellos fue una horrenda planificación desde el 2001 y cambios constantes en el diseño y los requerimientos tecnológicos.
La principal consecuencia de esa terrible planificación fue que los costes se dispararon.

Catalan Foreign Minister prepares to visit Edinburgh

Scotland at centre of diplomatic spat as Catalan Foreign Minister prepares to visit Edinburgh


David Leask, Chief Reporter





Scotland is at the centre of diplomatic spat as Catalonia's foreign minister prepares to make an "official" visit to Edinburgh that Spain insists is unauthorised.
Catalan envoy Raul Romeva will fly to Scotland later this month to meet senior SNP figures in what Madrid sees as a clear challenge to its control over international affairs.
Spanish authorities do not recognise Mr Romeva - a veteran campaigner for Catalonia's independence - as his country's foreign minister.

They believe that as an official in what they see as a mere "regional" administration, he should clear any international meetings with them.

So Mr Romeva's scheduled April 28 visit to Scotland has sparked headlines warning of serious diplomatic consequences for Scotland - especially if the Catalan minister meets his Scottish counterpart, Fiona Hyslop.
In what was seen in Edinbugh as a veiled threat, Madrid daily ABC reported: "The Scottish Government is aware that a meeting between Ms Hyslop and Mr Romeva could provoke discomfort in the Spanish Embassy and a protest to the Foreign office."
The paper, which is close to the caretaker Conservative government of Mariano Rajoy, stressed that Mr Romeva had not informed the Spanish Foreign Ministry about his trip.
Background: Spain's government still interim four months after inconclusive general election
Concern about an official reception for Mr Romeva comes despite the fact that Scottish ministers are too busy fighting for their seats in Holyrood elections to meet foreign dignitaries.
However, senior party figures will meet Mr Romeva, a former MEP with Catalan Greens, Iniciativa per Catalunya Verds
SNP MEP Alyn Smith, pictured below, said: "I would think a meeting with any of our Ministers would be unlikely as we are all busy campaigning for re-election, but I certainly will be meeting Raul as we were good colleagues in the European Parliament for ten years and we have much to talk about.


"If this provokes discomfort in Madrid perhaps our Spanish friends might wish to reflect on the discomfort we felt at the intemperate, ill advised and wrong remarks of their Prime Minster during our referendum."


Spanish unionists - who have blocked a Scottish-style independence referendum in Catalonia - have been openly hostile to the SNP and its government.
The SNP - which, as ABC reported has traditionally been "cautious" about criticising Spain - has become increasingly close to Catalonia's independence movement in recent months.

ASESORES DE EEUU SE REÚNEN EN SECRETO CON LÍDERES DE ESTADO ISLÁMICO EN IRAK

ASESORES DE EEUU SE REÚNEN EN SECRETO CON LÍDERES DE ESTADO ISLÁMICO EN IRAK Posted: 14 Apr 2016 04:58 PM PDT Fuentes iraquíes revelaron que recientemente generales del Ejército estadounidense se han reunido en secreto con líderes de Estado Islámico (Daesh) en el norte del país. “Siete asesores militares estadounidenses que coordinan las operaciones del Ejército iraquí, las fuerzas kurdas (Peshmerga) y los combatientes populares iraquíes contra Daesh se han encontrado, en al menos dos ocasiones, con líderes de esta banda extremista, entre ellos Abu Ahmad al-Alwani, en las proximidades de la ciudad de Mosul”, informó el miércoles la agencia kurda iraquí de noticias Dwarozh. Al-Alwani, que actualmente dirige las operaciones de Estado Islámico en Mosul, era un excomandante del Ejército iraquí y miembro del Partido del Renacimiento Árabe Socialista, Baas, agrupación política del exdictador Saddam Husein fundada en 1947, precisó la fuente. Una de las reuniones de los generales estadounidenses, que se realizó bajo la mediación de la tribu Shemer, tuvo lugar el 7 de noviembre de 2015 cerca de Mosul, mientras que la siguiente fue llevada a cabo el pasado 3 de febrero con la cooperación de la tribu Yabur en la ciudad de Hawija, en Kirkuk, añadió la agencia kurda. La agencia kurda alegó que el objetivo de los militares estadounidenses a la hora de celebrar tales reuniones es convencer a los miembros del Baas de que abandonen las filas de Estado Islámico. El pasado domingo, la Policía iraquí denunció que los aviones estadounidenses brindan apoyo a Daesh en la provincia de Al-Anbar, oeste de Irak. El presidente de la Asamblea Suprema Islámica de Irak, Seyed Amar al-Hakim, solicitó en febrero de 2015 explicaciones al comandante del Comando Central de EE.UU., el general Lloyd Austin, sobre el constante envío de armas, por aviones estadounidenses, a los terroristas que operan en el país árabe.

GEORGE ORWELL 10 STATEMENTS OF BEING FULFILLED TODAY

George Orwell is considered one of the great social critics of the modern era.

Some of your appointments, with more than half a century old, show a deep understanding of the future, that only an enlightened mind like yours could ever have.

1) "In our age there is no possibility to stay out of politics. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass formed of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia "

Many people today are willing to bury your head in the sand when it comes to political issues, but hard they try, never get isolated from reality.

Even if someone gets avoid politics, at some point the effects of policy decisions that have tried to avoid, knock on your door and fully affected.

2) "All war propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting"

We can see it every day in the news, where constantly politicians, experts analysts or commentators appear opinionated leaders, calling for the need to get the blood flowing through the streets of a city or region unpronounceable name.

Always in a "selective and humanitarian" bombing in the form of "legitimate" struggle against tyrants or terrorists in the name of democracy, peace, security or international law or in defense of the homeland, beliefs or ideologies more multifarious.

And as they drop bombs and bullets fly, they remain embedded in their comfortable clothes, talking quietly on camera, away from the battlefield that they themselves have generated.

They never fight in wars ...

3) "The war against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they will benefit from it"

This is a difficult idea to accept for many people. But just need to see who benefited from the recent wars waged by the United States to understand that this is the true reality that lurks behind most of today's conflicts.

4) "The very concept of objective truth is disappearing from our world. Lies will pass into history "

We can constantly see in history books worldwide.

For example, there is a book of Iraqi history that tells the "glorious victory of Saddam Hussein over the United States" in 1991.

There are, in turn, multiple history books, from different nations, who claim that any of its citizens was the first to fly or make the same invention.

History is always written by the winner or the one who has the power ... and it never asks if he's telling the truth.

5) "In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act"

Each time it is clearer: the revolutions of the future will not be fought with bullets and explosives, but with small pieces of data traveling over networks around the world destroying false narratives with which governments deceive their citizens.

There are examples (although discussed) Assange, Manning and Snowden ...

6) "Journalism is to say things that someone does not want you to say everything else is public relations"

Make no mistake about it; if an item does not upset anyone, not real journalism.

Most of what is now considered "news" is little more than an official announcement of a product, a service, or a belief.

That is, pure propaganda in the service of some interest.

Authentic journalism is to uncover the truth. And the truth always upset someone ...

7) "In real life it is always the anvil that breaks the hammer ..."

In all conflicts, as we now see around the world, the winning side is not the one who can inflict further damage, but which is able to withstand further damage.

He who resists is that ultimately imposes itself.

History is replete with situations where powerful military forces "won the battle but lost the war."

Does it sound Vietnam?

8) "The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but also has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them"

Tell that American citizens.

They launched the cry to heaven if they speak of the twin towers ... but neither have only heard of Haditha, Panjwai district Maywand or Mahmudiya.

In all these incidents, those who committed the atrocities and acts of brutality carried an American flag on his shoulder.

And so with all countries ...

9) "The threats to freedom of expression, writing and action, although often seem trivial when we see them in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and always lead to a widespread lack of respect for the rights of citizens"

Every day there is a new form of censorship or a new method of forcing people to be self - censorship  and people do not react to it, because every time a new method of repression, only applies to a small minority appears.

When people realize that their freedom of expression and their ability to dissent has been completely restricted, it is too late.

And that brings us to the most disturbing quote from Orwell ...

10) "If you want to see a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face forever"

Once people are indoctrinated with nationalist beliefs and once you have created the need to protect them from some kind of constantly changing in name "enemy" and form, infrastructure is no longer any possibility that people regain their freedom.

At the moment all these pieces are in place, every opportunity to regain freedom is lost and not only that, but the willingness of people to achieve that freedom evaporates.

At this point, people really love Big Brother.

It is not what is currently happening with much of the population of all countries?

Here comes Orwell again ... get ready for another of his "I told you so"
