The Ted Kennedy Story the Media Refused to Tell

This information is explosive and sobering. It is not opinion, speculation, or conjecture. It is pure, 100%, documented FACT.

And Columbia Conservative Examiner has it.

Now that we have been treated to days of Kennedy-worship, it is time to come back down to reality. The funeral is over, and citizens need to know the REAL Ted Kennedy. This story will tell it all.

ALERT! Russia Renews Cold War Rhetoric

During the 2008 Presidential campaign, both Barack Obama and John McCain stated that there would be 'no new Cold War with Russia.'

But it appears as if we may not have a choice.

Russia has increasingly undertaken actions that are definitely reminiscent of the Cold War, and its new President, Dmitry Medvedev, has seemed to take an even more hardline approach than his predecessor Vladamir Putin.

The country has threatened nuclear attacks if the U.S. places a defensive missile shield in Poland and has defended its blatant act of aggression in its invasion of Georgia.

And, even today, Russian warships are in the Caribbean for joint maneuvers with the navy of Venezuelan Communist dictator Hugo Chavez.

CBS News has a full report on Russia's move toward renewing the Cold War, written by its Moscow corespondent. (H/t to Matt Drudge).

LIBERTY ALERT! RUSSIA THREATENS THE WEST

In a stunning development of draconian proportions, Russia has threatened the West with a response that will 'go beyond diplomacy' if the U.S. follows through with its missile shield in Poland.

The U.S. signed the agreement with Poland over the objections of the Russians who not only oppose U.S. Patriot missiles being placed in the country to counter the Iranian threat, but who also object to an anti-missile defense shield to protect Europe from an attack.

But this afternoon the Russians upped the ante by threatening to 'go beyond diplomacy' in its response to the missile shield being placed in Poland.

Matt Drudge via Breitbart reports that Russia issued its second such threat in just 2 days following the signatures on the agreement between the U.S. and Poland.

Earlier in the week the Russians hinted that such an agreement would 'leave Poland open to a nuclear attack.'

The latest threat is yet another signal that many observers claim that Russia has moved to open another Cold War and to position itself as the enemy of Europe and the United States. The move comes some 20 years after the fall of the Soviet Union and the tearing down of the Berlin Wall.

But under former KGB operative Vladimir Putin, Russia has taken a definite turn toward the ominous.

Russia Seeks Return to Soviet Domination

It is clear that with Vladimir Putin's invasion of the sovereign nation of Georgia, Russia is seeking to return to the old days of Soviet domination in the region.

The former province of the USSR had sought and won its independence from Russia at the end of the Cold War. As long as former Russian President Boris Yeltsin was at the helm, Georgia could be assured of its continued independence.

But with the ascension of former KGB operative Vladimir Putin to the nation's highest office, political observers have noticed a distinct turn away from the reforms accomplished under Mikael Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin and a gradual return to the oppressive policies of the old Communist USSR.

The relatively small nation of Georgia is no match for the Russian army. When the tanks rolled in, Georgian citizens were clearly outnumbered and overpowered. Reports from Moscow indicate that Putin plans to send in even more tanks and troops.

Clearly, the intent is a complete takeover of the country, which many analysts say poses an ominous threat to the region and may signal the beginning of a new Cold War.

European nations in particular have grave concerns about the Russian violation and its ramifications for other nations in the region.

Make no mistake, Putin is a Communist and never stopped being a Communist, though in the early part of his regime he acted as if he were a reformer in the tradition of Gorbachev and Yeltsin. The KGB agent in him is too strong and too powerful. His tactics were born in the bowels of the KGB. And his goal is Russian dominance in the tradition of Stalin, Kruschev, and Brezhnev.

The entire community of the free world should unanimously and strongly condemn Russia for its act of aggression against a basically defenseless sovereign nation.

And unless the Russian army stands down, there should be swift and resolute military consequences initiated by the West.
