The Big Russian Navy Exercise of 2013

Wired has a good article discussing the upcoming big Russian Naval
exercise.
The Russian navy is about to stage its largest war exercise in a long
time — possibly the largest since before the breakup of the Soviet
Union. It’s a chance for President Vladimir Putin to show off his
military might, of course. But the exercise may also be a subtle warning
to the United States: Stay clear of waters that traditionally lie in
Russia’s sphere of influence.

Rings Within Rings: How Secret Societies Direct World Politics

BoilingFrogsPost.com
January 8, 2013
The idea that global politics is directed by a small group of
well-connected elite has long been decried as “conspiracy theory” by the
establishment and their media outlets. As listeners to the most recent
Corbett Report podcast will know, however, this idea is now openly
discussed and acknowledged by those very figures that once sought to
