#No TTIP: Protes massa kutuk PERJANJIAN perdagangan Amerika Syarikat-EU sebagai 'merebut Kuasa KORPORAT’ . . .

SrikandiTV - Berpuluh-puluh ribu orang membanjiri jalan2 di bandar-bandar di seluruh Eropah pd hari Sabtu dlm perhimpunan besar-besaran terhadap perjanjian perdagangan kontroversi antara Amerika Syarikat dan Kesatuan Eropah.

Khutbah pakatan itu, yang dipanggil transatlantik Perdagangan dan Pelaburan Perkongsian (TTIP), bermula Februari lalu dan, dengan kebanyakannya diadakan secara tertutup, telah menimbulkan kebimbangan meluas di Kesatuan Eropah dan seterusnya.

Rangkaian sosial telah dikerahkan untuk kempen besar-besaran yg telah menyeru orang Eropah & Amerika utk mengambil tindakan terhadap "yang merebut kuasa korporat terbesar dalam tempoh sedekad."

#NoTTIP: Mass PROTESTS Slam US-EU trade deal as 'CORPORATE power GRAB' . . .

Tens of thousands of people are flooding the streets of cities all over Europe on Saturday in mass rallies against a controversial trade agreement between the US and the EU.

Talks on the pact, called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), started last February and, having been mostly held behind closed doors, have raised widespread concerns in the European Union and beyond.

Social networks have been mobilized for a mass campaign that has been calling on Europeans and Americans to take action against “the biggest corporate power grab in a decade.”

Salah satu penganjur demonstrasi di Berlin, Michael Efler, memberitahu RT Peter Oliver: "Kami membantah sini terhadap perjanjian perdagangan bebas sepenuh-nya dirundingkan secara rahsia, kerana mereka memberikan syarikat lebih banyak hak mereka yang pernah ada dalam sejarah."

Protes telah dirancang di 22 buah negara di seluruh Eropah - perarakan, perhim-punan dan acara awam lain - di lebih 1,000 lokasi di UK, Perancis, Jerman, Itali, Sepanyol, Greece, Belanda, Poland, Republik Czech & negara-negara Scandinavia.

One of the organizers of Berlin’s demonstration, Michael Efler, told RT’s Peter Oliver: “We are protesting here against the free trade deal completely negotiated in secret, because they give corporations more rights they’ve ever had in history.”

Protests were planned in 22 countries across Europe – marches, rallies and other public events – in over 1,000 locations in UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Netherlands, Poland, the Czech Republic and Scandinavian countries.

Menurut organisasi antarabangsa ATTAC, Hari tidak bertumpu Tindakan menya-tukan bilangan yg belum pernah berlaku kumpulan masyarakat awam & individu, pergerakan sosial, kesatuan sekerja dan pembela hak asasi.

Tujuan utama gelombang bantahan adalah "untuk menuntut demokrasi," yang dalam kes ini bermaksud meletakkan menamatkan rundingan mengenai 3 perjan-jian per-dagangan utama: perjanjian EU-AS (TTIP), perjanjian EU-Kanada (CETA) & perda-gangan dalam perkhidmatan perjanjian (Tisa).

According to the international organization ATTAC, the decentralized Day of Actions unites an unprecedented number of civil society groups and individuals, social movements, trade unions and rights defenders.

The main aim of the wave of protests is “to reclaim democracy,” which in this case stands for putting an end to the negotiations on three major trade agreements: the EU-US deal (TTIP), the EU-Canada deal (CETA) and the trade in services deal (TiSA).

Perjanjian perdagangan bebas kontroversi, TTIP ditakdirkan untuk menjatuhkan halangan kawal selia. Penyokongnya menjanjikan pertumbuhan € 100 billion euro KDNK Kesatuan Eropah, & hampir $ 90 juta untuk pertumbuhan Amerika Syarikat, & juga kewujudan lebih dpd 700,000 pekerjaan tambahan di Amerika Syarikat.

Penentang TTIP memberi amaran bahawa angka-angka ini terlalu optimis, namun. Walaupun barang-barang dan perkhidmatan akan lebih murah banjir Kesatuan Eropah, perjanjian itu akan mewujudkan masalah alam sekitar, kehilangan kedau-latan ekonomi, dan membawa torrents makanan yg diubahsuai secara genetik dan pengangguran, kata mereka.

Di UK, di mana lebih sedozen protes sedang berlaku, orang takut untuk masa depan perkhidmatan awam di negara ini - sistem penjagaan kesihatan, sistem pendidikan dan juga BBC boleh mendapat gangguan daripada syarikat2 Amerika Syarikat yang besar.

A controversial free trade agreement, TTIP is destined to bring down regulatory barriers. Its supporters promise a 100 billion euro GDP growth for the EU, and almost $90 billion growth for the US, as well as the creation of over 700,000 extra jobs in the US.

Opponents of TTIP warn that these figures are too optimistic, however. While cheaper goods and services would deluge the EU, the deal would create environ-mental problems, a loss of economic sovereignty, and bring torrents of genetically modified food and unemployment, they say.

In the UK, where over a dozen protests are taking place, people fear for the future of the country’s public services – the healthcare system, the education system and even the BBC may be susceptible to interference from large US companies.

In London, British historian and investigative journalist Andy Worthington told RT’s Harry Fear that people have reasons not to trust politicians who have been reassu-ring them since 1980s, yet “handing over more and more power to corporations.”

The trade agreement between the EU and the US could be finalized by the end of this year.

KIEV DIAM-diam Menerima DATA dari penyiasatan KEMALANGAN MH17 - hacktivists UKRAINE . . .

Ahli-ahli satu kumpulan pakar antarabangsa memeriksa tapak di mana dijatuhkan Malaysia Airlines penerbangan MH17 yang terlibat dalam kemalangan, berhampiran perkampungan Hrabove (Grabovo) di rantau Donetsk, Ukraine timur (Members of a group of international experts inspect the site where the downed Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crashed, near the village of Hrabove (Grabovo) in Donetsk region, eastern Ukraine. (Reuters/Sergei Karpukhin)

SrikandiTV - Hacktivists CyberBerkut Ukraine mendakwa bahawa mereka telah menembusi rangkaian dalaman Kementerian Pertahanan Ukraine & mendapati bukti bahawa Kiev semakin rahsia data dari MH17 penyiasat kemalangan, terma-suk maklumat yang membayangkan penglibatannya.

Suatu dokumen dipaparkan di laman web siber berkut.net, dan didakwa turun dari rangkaian Kementerian Pertahanan Ukraine, sejak 7 Ogos dan muncul sebagai ditandatangani oleh Kolonel Igor Zorin, ketua pasukan pertahanan udara Ukraine.

Ia adalah satu laporan yang menyatakan bahawa serpihan peluru yang ditemui bersama-sama dengan serpihan penerbangan MH17 terhempas sebenarnya ejen kerosakan yang peluru berpandu permukaan-ke-udara 9M38 yang dimiliki oleh kompleks pertahanan udara bergerak Buk atau Buk M1.

Imbasan Photo didakwa menggambarkan serpihan yang berkenaan juga telah dihantar.

Dokumen tersebut mengakui bahawa bentuk segi 4 tepat tertentu serpihan yang menunjukkan bahawa ia boleh tergolong dalam kepala peledak 9N314 daripada anti-pesawat peluru berpandu 9M38.

Ia telah dicadangkan bahawa keputusan muktamad boleh dibuat selepas menganalisis serpihan asal yang digambarkan dalam gambar-gambar.

KIEV Secretly Received DATA from MH17 Crash INVESTIGATORS – Ukrainian HACKTIVISTS . . .

Ukrainian CyberBerkut hacktivists claim that they have penetrated the internal network of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry and found proof that Kiev is getting secret data from MH17 crash investigators, including information which implies its involvement.

A document, posted on the website cyber-berkut.net, and allegedly downloaded from Ukraine’s Defense Ministry network, dates back to August 7 and appears to be signed by Colonel Igor Zorin, the chief of Ukraine’s air defense forces. It is a report which maintains that a fragment of a projectile found together with the debris of the crashed flight MH17 is in fact a damage agent of a 9M38 surface-to-air guided missile belonging to the mobile air defense complex Buk or Buk M1.

Photo scans allegedly depicting the fragment in question have been also posted.

The document acknowledged that a specific rectangular shape of the fragment pointed out that it could belong to a 9N314 warhead of the 9M38 anti-aircraft missile.

It was suggested that the final conclusion could be made after analyzing the original fragments depicted in the photographs.

CyberBerkut mendakwa dokumen adalah bukti bahawa MH17 suruhanjaya siasatan kemalangan & Ukraine Pertahanan Kementerian mempunyai "hubungan istimewa."

Sementara itu, Timbalan Ketua Bekas Pertahanan Udara, pakar tentera Aleksandr Tazekhulakhov memberitahu RT bahawa penilaian oleh foto, serpihan itu cacat ke tahap di mana ia adalah mustahil untuk bebas menentukan bentuk yang sangat penting untuk keputusan muktamad.

"Serpihan logam yg digambarkan di dlm gambar tidak dpt dikenal pasti sebagai sebahagian daripada kepala peledak peluru berpandu balistik. Ia boleh menjadi apa sahaja, "katanya. Hanya selepas beberapa jenis ujian seperti balistik, kimia dan analisis spektrum, boleh apa-apa kesimpulan dibuat.

Lembaga Keselamatan Belanda, yg sedang menyiasat kemalangan MH17 itu, yg dikeluarkan laporan awal pd bulan September yg menyatakan bahawa pesawat itu "berpecah di udara mungkin akibat kerosakan struktur yang disebabkan oleh sebi-langan besar objek tinggi tenaga yang menembusi pesawat dari di luar."

CyberBerkut claimed that the documents are evidence that the MH17 crash investigation commission and the Ukraine Defense Ministry have “special relations.”

Meanwhile, Ex-Air Defense deputy chief, military expert Aleksandr Tazekhulakhov told RT that judging by the photo, the fragment is deformed to the extent that it is impossible to independently define its form which is very important for the final conclusion.

“The metal fragment depicted in the photo can’t be identified as part of any ballistic missile warhead. It can be whatever,” he said. Only after several types of tests, such as ballistic, chemical and spectral analysis, can any conclusion be made.

The Dutch Safety Board, which is investigating the MH17 crash, released a preliminary report in September stating that the plane “broke up in the air probably as the result of structural damage caused by a large number of high-energy objects that penetrated the aircraft from outside.”

Suruhanjaya itu berkata, laporan penuh mengenai bencana yang ditetapkan yang akan dikeluarkan "dalam tahun kemalangan itu," sebagai penyiasat "mahu menga-nalisis lagi data dan bangkai."

Buk Buk M1 dan sistem peluru berpandu telah dibangunkan oleh Kesatuan Soviet dan memasuki pasaran pada tahun 1970-an dan awal 1980-an.

Awal minggu ini, satu sumber di Kementerian Pertahanan Rusia yang memberi-tahu agensi berita RIA Novosti bahawa selepas kejatuhan Kesatuan Soviet, bebe-rapa sistem tersebut kekal di Ukraine dan Kiev hari ini mempunyai tidak kurang dari-pada 70 sistem Buk M1.

Menurut sumber-sumber terbuka, tentera Rusia hanya beroperasi Buk-M1-2 dan sistem peluru berpandu Buk - M2 - versi terkini diubahsuai dibangunkan selepas Ukraine mencapai kemerdekaan pada tahun 1991.

Sumber itu juga menuduh Valentin Nalivaichenko yang ketua Perkhidmatan Kesela-matan Ukraine (SBU), yang secara tidak sengaja bocor bahawa MH17 Boeing-777-200 kemalangan pd bulan Julai disebabkan oleh peluru berpandu yg ketinggalan zaman hanya Ukraine tentera masih beroperasi.

Sumber RIA Novosti juga berkata pada hari MH17 ditembak ke bawah, 156 SAM rejimen Ukraine menjalankan satu pelancaran peluru berpandu yang tidak dibenarkan.

The commission said that the full report on the catastrophe is set to be released “within a year of the crash,” as the investigators “want to further analyze the data and the wreckage.”

Buk and Buk M1 missile systems were developed by the Soviet Union and entered into service in the late 1970s and in early 1980s.

Earlier this week, a source in Russia’s Defense Ministry told RIA Novosti news agency that after the fall of the Soviet Union, a number of such systems remained in Ukraine and today Kiev possesses no less than 70 Buk M1 systems.

According to open sources, the Russian army operates only Buk-M1-2 and Buk-M2 missile systems – the latest modified versions developed after Ukraine became independent in 1991.

The source also accused Valentin Nalivaichenko, head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), of inadvertently leaking that the MH17 Boeing-777-200 crash in July was caused by an outdated missile that only Ukrainian army still operates.

SrikandiTV - Ketua Majlis Keselamatan Ukraine mungkin secara tidak sengaja ter-tumpah kacang, berkata serpihan peluru berpandu Buk-M boleh didapati dengan MH17 serpihan kemalangan. Walau bagaimanapun, peluru berpandu yang tepat beliau menyebut hanya dimiliki oleh Ukraine, pegawai2 tentera Rusia berkata.

Penyiasatan kemalangan MH17 Boeing-777-200 pd Julai akan siap apabila mayat Buk-M pertahanan udara peluru berpandu yg ditemui, Valentin Nalivaichenko, ketua Perkhidmatan Keselamatan Ukraine (SBU), memberitahu TV Ukraine.

Ukraine akan memenuhi obligasinya dan mengenal pasti penjenayah, yang akan menanggung tanggungjawab dan pampasan bagi kerosakan ke bawah untuk mengambil penerbangan MH17 dgn 298 penumpang & anak kapal di atas kapal, kata Nalivaichenko.

"Ia akan menjadi anggota perkhidmatan Rusia yang menggunakan peluru berpandu Buk-M " untuk mengambil jet penumpang, katanya.

MH17 crash: Ukraine security chief says missile only Kiev has may be found at crash site . . .

Ukraine’s Security Council chief may have inadvertently spilled the beans, saying fragments of a Buk-M missile may be found with MH17 crash debris. However, the exact missile he mentioned is only possessed by Ukraine, Russian army officials say.

Investigation of the MH17 Boeing-777-200 crash in July will be completed when the remains of the Buk-M air defense missile are found, Valentin Nalivaichenko, head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), told Ukrainian TV.

Ukraine will fulfill its obligations and identify the perpetrators, who will bear responsibility and compensate for the damage for taking down the MH17 flight with 298 passengers and crew on board, Nalivaichenko said.

“It will be Russian servicemen who used the Buk-M missile” to take down the passenger jet, he said.

A source in Russia’s Joint Staff has commented on the issue to RIA Novosti news agency, saying that Nalivaichenko’s involuntary leak has revealed that Ukraine possesses a modernized version of the Soviet-made air defense complex.

Pada awal tahun 1980, industri pertahanan Kesatuan Soviet mula pengeluaran Buk-M1, yang amat berkesan, jarak sederhana sistem pertahanan peluru berpandu.

Banyak Buk-M1s ditempatkan di sempadan barat negara itu, di wilayah 3 kawasan di Ukraine Republik Sosialis Soviet.

Selepas kejatuhan Kesatuan Soviet, semua sistem mereka kekal di Ukraine dan Kiev hari ini mempunyai tidak kurang daripada 70 sistem tersebut, sumber RIA Novosti berkata.

Menurut sumber-sumber terbuka, tentera Rusia beroperasi lebih 350 Buk-M1-2 dan sistem peluru berpandu Buk-M2, dgn hanya versi terkini diubahsuai dibangunkan selepas Ukraine mencapai kemerdekaan pada tahun 1991 dengan kejatuhan USSR. Versi diubahsuai Rusia mula beroperasi pada akhir 1990-an, dan kini telah benar-benar menggantikan yang lebih tua, sistem peluru berpandu Soviet.

Pakar tentera Rusia menegaskan bahawa Rusia tidak mempunyai "dimodenkan" Buk sistem pertahanan udara.

Rusia beroperasi lebih 350 sistem peluru berpandu Buk, semua dari mereka dengan versi terbaru Buk M1-2 dan Buk M2, katanya.

"Apabila Encik Nalivaichenko menyebut 'dimodenkan Buk sistem, dia mungkin bermakna sistem pertahanan udara yang siap dinaiktaraf oleh industri pertahanan Ukraine. Kita tahu bahawa Ukraine telah bekerja ke arah ini, "kata sumber itu, sam-bil menambah bahawa maklumat mengenai pemodenan Ukraine sistem Buk disah-kan pada lewat Jun di laman web Kementerian Pertahanan Ukraine, yg dilaporkan telah diubahsuai sistem peluru berpandu menjadi operasi.

Ini berlaku hanya beberapa minggu sebelum Malaysia Airlines Boeing-777-200 telah ditembak jatuh di ruang udara Ukraine pada 17 Julai.

Menurut sumber dalam Rusia Staf Bersama, apa-apa pengubahsuaian tanpa kuasa elektronik kelengkapan ketenteraan rumit akan berbuat tidak baik, kerana ia akan merendahkan ketepatan senjata.

Pada asalnya, semua Buk sistem pertahanan udara yg beroperasi di Ukraine telah dihasilkan tinggi keselamatan Institut Penyelidikan tumbuhan Instrumentasi di Wilayah Moscow.

"Kekeliruan dan tidak konsisten tindak balas Nalivaichenko ini tidak meninggalkan keraguan bahawa beliau menyebut pelan yang pasti tidak dibangunkan oleh SBU, tetapi dibawa pada hari yang lain dari mentor mereka di luar negara," kata sumber Kakitangan Bersama. "Ini adalah kesilapan Nalivaichenko dan mulut yang besar."

Bahawa pd hari MH17 ditembak ke bawah, 156 SAM rejimen Ukraine menjalankan satu pelancaran peluru berpandu yang tidak dibenarkan, keadaan kecemasan yang sedang disiasat oleh SBU & jelas yang hushed oleh pihak berkuasa Kiev, kata ‘said’ pegawai itu.

"Anda tidak perlu menjadi seorang genius untuk meletakkan bersama-sama unsur-unsur teka-teki ini dan memahami apa jenis gambar Encik Nalivaichnko cuba untuk menjual kami," berkata Kakitangan Bersama sumber di Rusia.

In the early 1980s, the Soviet Union’s defense industry began production of the Buk-M1, an extremely effective, medium-range missile defense system.

Many of the Buk-M1s were stationed on the country’s western borders, on the territory of three regions in the Ukraine Soviet Socialist Republic.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, all those systems remained in Ukraine and today Kiev possesses no less than 70 such systems, RIA Novosti’s source said.

According to open sources, the Russian army operates over 350 Buk-M1-2 and Buk-M2 missile systems, with only the latest modified versions developed after Ukraine became independent in 1991 with the fall of the USSR. Russia’s modified versions came into operation in the late 1990s, and now have completely replaced the older, Soviet missile systems.

The Russian military expert stressed that Russia has no “modernized” Buk air defense systems.

Russia operates over 350 Buk missile systems, all of them of the latest versions of the Buk M1-2 and Buk M2, he said.

“When Mr Nalivaichenko mentions a ‘modernized Buk’ system, he probably means an air defense system that was upgraded by the Ukrainian defense industry. We know that Ukraine has been working in this direction,” the source said, adding that the information about the modernization of Ukrainian Buk systems was confirmed in late June on the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s website, which reported renovated missile systems becoming operational.

This happened just a few weeks before the Malaysian Airlines Boeing-777-200 was shot down in Ukrainian airspace on July 17.

According to the source in Russia’s Joint Staff, any unauthorized modification of the electronics of complicated military hardware would do no good, as it would degrade the accuracy of the weapon.

Originally, all Buk air defense systems operated in Ukraine were produced at the high-security Research Institute of Instrumentation plant in the Moscow Region.

“The confusion and inconsistency of Nalivaichenko’s responses leaves no doubt that he mentioned a plan that definitely had not been developed by the SBU, but rather brought in the other day from their overseas mentors,” the Joint Staff source said. “This is Nalivaichenko and his big mouth blunder.”

On the day that the MH17 was shot down, Ukraine’s 156th SAM regiment carried out an unauthorized missile launch, an emergency situation that is being investigated by the SBU and obviously being hushed up by Kiev authorities, the official said.

“You don’t need to be a genius to put together the elements of this puzzle and understand what kind of a picture Mr Nalivaichnko is attempting to sell us,” the source at Russia’s Joint Staff said.
