Authorities in St Petersburg allegedly discovered 20 to 30 kettles and irons with 'spy microchips that send some data to the foreign server', according to Russian media. The revelation comes just as the EU launches an investigation into claims that Russia itself bugged gifts to delegates at last month's G20 summit in an attempt to retrieve data from computers and telephones.   Kitchen espionage: Kettles imported to Russia from China with hidden microchips which can send spam data and possibly steal information have allegedly been found by authorities in St Petersburg   This has led to speculation that the chips allegedly found in the home appliances may also have the ability to steal data and send it back to Chinese servers. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/fraud/russia_and_china/news.php?q=1402326746 Jun 7, 2014 theunhivedmind 0 Comments   More On China’s “Missing Commodity” Scandal: Fallout Spreads As Banks Get Involved Tyler Durden’s pictureSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/05/2014 15:53 -0400 http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-06-05/chinas-missing-commodity-scandal-spreads-banks-fear-fallout-rehypothecated-funding-d While we have warned about the problem with near-infinitely rehypothecated physical/funding commodities/metals, be they gold or copper, many times in the past, and most recently here, it was only yesterday that China finally admitted it has a major problem involving not just the commodities participating in funding deals – in this case copper and aluminum – but specifically their infinite rehypothecation, which usually results in the actual underlying metal mysteriously “disappearing”, as in it never was there to begin with.

Joseph Coniglio, 65, faces one count of extortion and eight counts of mail fraud. Each charge carries up to 20 years in prison and fines of up to $250,000. The retired plumber from Bergen County approached Hackensack University Medical Center soon after being appointed to the influential Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee in 2004 and received about $103,900 by the time the arrangement ended in early 2006, according to the indictment. Coniglio has maintained his innocence, but he dropped his re-election bid in September after being told he was targeted in a federal corruption probe involving the hospital. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/fraud/russia_and_china/news.php?q=1202167847 03/ 02/ 2008 SEVEROMORSK, February 3 (RIA Novosti) - Russia will build up its presence in the strategic areas of the World Ocean, the Russian navy commander said on Sunday. Admiral Vladimir Vysotsky summed up Sunday the results of the Russian naval task force's two-month tour of duty in the Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic. The operation was the first large-scale Russian navy exercise in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean in 15 years.   "What is important is that we have appeared [in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean] at a scheduled time and not just that we appeared there. We'll do all we can to build up our presence where Russia has strategic interests," Vysotsky said, adding that Russia intended to carry out similar missions once every six months. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/fraud/russia_and_china/news.php?q=1198175672 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/fraud/russia_and_china/news.php?q=38b37aabc4619753b1baa6d4f7aaf714 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/fraud/russia_and_china/news.php?q=1de81a74746f5508fdf0551828f6c411 MOSCOW (AP) — The Russian military has successfully tested what it described as the world's most powerful non-nuclear air-delivered bomb, Russia's state television reported Tuesday, the latest show of the nation's military muscle amid chilly relations with the United States.It was the latest show of Russia's military muscle amid chilly relations with the United States.Channel One television said the new weapon, nicknamed the "dad of all bombs" is four times more powerful than the U.S. "mother of all bombs. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.net http://www.fourwinds10.net/siterun_data/government/fraud/russia_and_china/news.php?q=33decc899c9e779cc2a4ae0df24929eb CHEBARKUL RANGE (Chelyabinsk region), August 17 (Itar-Tass) -- President Vladimir Putin said Russia would resume flights of its long-range aviation on a permanent basis beginning from Friday.

Boris Yeltsin was always good for a laugh, which is probably why on the occasion of his death people outside of Russia are not calling him words like scum and monster, but instead recalling him fondly, with a smile, as one would a retarded nephew who could always be counted on to pull his pants down at Thanksgiving dinner. Like most people who lived in Russia during the 1990s -- and Russia was my home throughout Yeltsin's entire reign as Russian president -- I have a wide variety of fond memories of the Motherland's drunken, bloblike train wreck of a revolutionary leader. My favorite came in 1995, at a press conference in Moscow, when a couple of American reporters perfectly captured the essence of Yeltsin by heckling him as he stumbled into the room. As he burst through the side entrance with that taillight-red face of his, hands wobbling in front of him in tactile search of the podium, the two hacks in the back called out: "Nor-r-r-r-r-r-m!" Such a perfect moment, I almost died laughing.
