According to reports the central bank of Ireland are fining the AIB two million, two hundred and seventy thousand euros for six breaches of failing to deal with money laundering or the funding of terrorist activities, allegedly occurring between 2010 and 2014.

Traditionally the cbI has been responsible for Irish banking legislation but is now thought to be governed by British legislation rather than conforming to eu or previous Irish standards; for instance with regard to the sharing of information and other protocol which is authoritarian and lacks transparency and trust, leading to abuse. It is not known why British legislation is being allowed to dominate.

According to reports, manifestations of Mary, mother of Jesus were said to have occurred in Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzogovina as seen by six Herzogovinian youths in 1981. The apparition which was entitled, mother of the redeemer and Queen of Peace began during the time of the socialist federal union of Yugoslavia; and according to reports has also been seen in Sarajevo and elsewhere.

The socialist federation originated in ww2 with the anti fascist council for the liberation of Yugoslavia, reportedly a response to the 1941 invasion and partitioning of the kingdom of Yugoslavia by Germany, Italy, Hungary and Bulgaria, leading to resistance from pro Yugoslav communists.

Reportedly there was a build up of political and economic tensions prior to the 1981 apparition and throughout the 1980’s. President Tito, leader of the Yugoslav partisans and the sfuy died in 1980. According to reports in March 1981 an Albanian student protest in the socialist autonomous republic of Kosovo lead to more protests and civil unrest. Eleven deaths were recorded, seven of whom were protestors. There were an estimated 4,200 arrests followed by a declaration of a state of emergency. Protests were outlawed. According to the league of communists the riots were a product of Albanian nationalism.

Muslim contingents were thought to be a product of the Ottoman era which spanned over 400 years. Bosnia and Herzogovina were reportedly annexed by Austro-Hungary in 1908, a catalyst for the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir presumptive, and his wife, Sophie in 1914 by Gavrilo Princip, reportedly a student, possibly with saxon ideas. Said to be serb. Not believed.

From 1868 a Hungarian-Croat settlement lead to a merger of Croatia and Slovenia and a reported magyarisation. The treaty of San stefano was signed in the wake of russian victory over the Ottomans in 1878. The uk and Austria-Hungary were said to have been dissatisfied and the treaty was replaced by the treaty of Berlin which reportedly consisted of a restructuring of the Balkans.

The catholic church which had mission status during the ottoman empire reportedly came under the influence of pro- Croat military officers during the Austro-Hungarian empire and Fransiscan schools were under the control of the emperor. Serbian and Croatian names were reportedly forbidden. There was thought to have been a takeover bid of the Catholic church via new appointments and ecumenical directives. According to documentation lutheran and anglican fransiscan orders still exist. Bosnia and Herzogovina who reportedly operate as a condominium are thought to be divided by cultural and political interests. Bosniacs were said to be adherents to Islam. A plan was to merge Bosnia with Croatia and Christian Herzogovina and Serbia, but from around 1880 fransiscans in Herzogovina were preparing to seperate from Bosnia in favour of Croatia.

Reportedly from 1881 the emperor had the exclusive right to appoint bishops in the territories. Relations remained cordial with Rome. In 1882, according to reports a bishop in Magydus in asian Turkey was appointed to northern Herzogovina. Reportedly he was instrumental in the building of universities in Croatia leading to widespread education and he bought property in the republic of Srpska and Montenegro from muslims who were leaving the country. According to a report this was followed by a catholic migration from Herzogovina. He is said to have helped relatives to move to near Nevesinje in the republic of Srpska.

Reportedly, during ww2 the Yugoslav partisans targeted Germany and collaborators. The as called independent state of Croatia under ustaśe were said to have had similar ideas to Hitler and were the only state to operate death camps independently. According to a report a systematic persecution and genocide of Serbs began during the war which resulted in mass murder and deportations. Tens of thousands of Serbs and Romanians were killed in the Jasenovac death camp in Slovenia. According to the report, the ustaśe government killed an estimated 25,000 Romanians. 26,000 left Croatia.

Reportedly in 1944 Belgrade was liberated from german influence by Yugoslav partisans and the Russian and Bulgarian armies which lead to a german withdrawal from Greece and most of Yugoslavia. According to documentation in 1946 the Bulgarian monarchy was replaced by the peoples’ republic, reportedly until 1990. A Bulgarian socialist republic was short lived.

Julian was evicted from the Ecuadorian embassy and subsequently arrested in March 2019. Two weeks earlier the then deputy national security adviser for intelligence, Richard Moore flew to Ecuador. A year or two later he was reported to be head of mi6, foreign secret service involved in covert foreign missions.

Earlier, in July 2018 Philip Barton, then said to be director general of security at the foreign office flew to Ecuador for what was described as short notice bilateral talks. A week after his return he attended government communication headquarters or gchq, reportedly responsible for providing signals intelligence and information to the government and armed forces. According to a report he now runs the home office. Gchq became the subject of media attention in 2013 when the national security agency controller revealed a secret security system which collects the data of most internet activity from fibreoptic cables with a view to possible future surveillance. He now lives in Russia.

Around September 2018 Ecuadorian officials were comandeered and flown to the uk for discussions with the British minister for the armed forces, reportedly concerning corruption and money laundering in Ecuador.

Defamation followed Julian’s arrest, and criticism of his treatment by the embassy that offered him asylum. There are worries about his treatment in Belmarsh. The possible use of medication etc. He should now be transferred to a European destination.

According to reports this week the u.n. organised three days of meetings in Geneva regarding the divided island of Cyprus, situated south of the coast of Turkey. The conference which was attended by Turkey, Greece and the uk followed a peace march by Turkish and Greek Cypriots in the capital, Nicosia. Cyprus is said to be the site of the u.n.’s longest running peace mission, beginning 1964, and despite a de facto ceasefire, ceasefire lines reportedly extend 180 km. Over 80 military personnel are said to be stationed in Cyprus. The mission was reportedly intensified in 1974 following a pro Greek coup.

According to documentation Cyprus was placed under uk administration under the Cyprus convention of 1878, a secret agreement between the uk and the Ottoman empire in return for uk support in the congress of Berlin, which concerned Turkey and the Balklands and aimed at keeping Istanbul within the arab empire. Macedonia and southern Bulgaria stayed too.

Cyprus was formally annexed by the u.k. in 1914. According to documentation, conflicts during the proceeding years resulted in independence in 1960, but there has since been a dispute between Turkey and Greek authorities. 1960 statistics to date show Greeks have made up nearly 80% of Cyprus residents. Reportedly they settled on the island during the second millenium bc. Greeks were thought to have settled in Egypt in 1630 bc. They were called hyksos or foreign kings by Egyptians, and may have been administrators for the Assyrian empire. Reportedly they left in 1523 bc and according to an ancient source settled in and around Gaza.

According to the u.n. the Geneva talks did not result in plans for further discussions. The dispute involving the three was said to have been intensified by the discovery of huge sources of natural gas off the Cypriot coast. The area has a history of similar discoveries. Reportedly exxonmobile have been assigned to the highly lucrative block 10. By whom not detailed.

Listening to various reports about the treatment of Julian Assange, it is logical to assume that his imprisonment in Belmarsh is a ministry of defence rather than government decision. The uk are obviously complicit. Listening to the uk media over the years, a recurring theme when the mod are in controversy is to focus on what the u.s. are doing, the implication being they are far worse. Often diverges to a picture of naive Britain being lead by the u.s., can’t say no etc. A regular theme in the British press.

Various doctors and thought to be supporters of human rights have assessed Julian’s treatment as psychological+ torture but instead of calling for his immediate release have deviated to the treatment he would get in the u.s. if extradited. Are the u.n. complicit in the wars? And if so is the u.n. special rapporteur, independent?

According to reports, the Dayton accords of 1995 was a peace agreement between the presidents of Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia, as called because it was the product of convening at the u.s. airforce base near Dayton, Ohio. As part of the accords a $2 million debt owed by Bulgaria for war damages was reportedly waived. The as known federation of Bosnia (and Herzegovina) includes the republic of Srpska which spans the Bosniak Croat federation and the Bosnian Serb republic. The croats are reportedly ethnic muslims. The serbs slavic.

Reportedly the idea of a kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes evolved partly for security following the breakup of the Ottoman empire, said to have consisted of the Serbian monarchy who had previously wrestled freedom from the Ottomans and a multi ethnic government. Neighbouring Montenegro became occupied by Hungary in 1916 and joined in 1918, said to have been followed by small territorial gains from Bulgaria. According to a report Serbia had previously captured most of present day Macedonia which became part of Yugoslavia, though a Greek not slavic nation. Other reports were of a Bulgarian occupation of Macedonia and Romania during ww1 with a view to annexing and incorporating the new territories.

Post ww1 the kingdom of Yugoslavia or south slav land became a federal socialist republic made up of Bosnia, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia. Alexander I reigned from 1921 until 1934 when he was assassinated, according to various sources by Bulgarian, Vlado Chernozemski during a state visit to France. Chernozemski was said to have also killed two politicians, one identified as a socialist. He may have infiltrated the Macedonian internal revolutionary organisation which reportedly became an agent for Bulgarian interests. Macedonia being one of them. Not wholly succesful.

Following Alexander’s assassination he was succeeded by his 11 year old son Peter II and a cousin, Prince Paul who was regent. In 1939 Paul visited Hitler, he reportedly refused to sign Yugoslavia over to Germany as an economic colony, or make an issue by pulling out of the league of nations. He was said to be in favour of a peace front in the Baltics and to deter Germany from invading Poland and elsewhere. In 1939 he also visited Britain, seemingly as an advocate for peace. According to the report he ordered that the Yugoslav gold reserves be transferred to London.

Paul signed the tripartite Berlin pact in 1940, a defensive military alliance of Germany, Italy and Hungary and previously signed by other Baltic nations. Reportedly the result was a coup. Paul who was replaced by an adult Peter II spent the rest of the war under British house arrest in Kenya.

Germany, Italy and Hungary invaded Yugoslavia in 1941. Though resulting in surrender after 11 days, it was thought to have been a catalyst for resistance groups. Peter was exiled to London where in 1944 he married princess Alexandra of Greece and Denmark. He was deposed by the Yugoslav assembly in 1945.

Josip Broz Tito became president. He was said to have backed the left in the Greek civil war. According to a report Winston Churchill gained an agreement with Stalin not to support Greek communists. Following the abolishment of the Yugoslav monarchy and the transition to a federal peoples’ republic, Tito signed the Bled agreement with Bulgaria, 1947 which reportedly envisioned a unification with Macedonia, Czechoslovakia and perhaps Yugoslavia as a union of Baltic nations. Not completed.

According to reports Britain became involved in the Greek civil war against the communist, Greek peoples’ liberation army, elas who on defeat signed the treaty of Varkiza, 1945. Reportedly the treaty allowed for communists to participate in government, all civil and political liberties guaranteed, along with the establishment of a non-political army. The treaty was not upheld and was reportedly followed by widespread killing of communists. The communist party of Greece became illegal in 1947.

According to reports, the reason for the 1970’s oil crises which resulted in petrol rationing, and ultimately war, began with the 1973 Arab oil embargo during the yom Kippur war and a decision to raise oil prices. Prices were said to have risen excessively, which was followed by a second crisis in 1979. A reported loss of oil production in the persian gulf, estimated at 4.8 million barrels per day following the Iranian revolution.

Energy has become an issue in the foreign policy of the uk, u.s. and elsewhere. According to reports the uk were experiencing an energy crisis during the years 1973-75, said to have been brought on by the 1973 yom kippur war, fought in the Sinai with Egypt, the Golan with Syria and in Israel. The Egyptian Sinai was an area of dispute between Egypt and Israel for a time. Reportedly the cause of the war was an egyptian blockade of Israeli ships’ access to the Sinai canal. Jordan sided with Egypt, said to be to prevent Israel from making territorial advances. A ceasefire was agreed in June. Israel’s successes were winning back the Gaza strip from Egypt, east Jerusalem and Samaria, renamed the west bank from Jordan; and the Golan heights. According to biblical documents, the Golan heights weren’t originally a part of Israel. They have been a subject of contention between Israel and Syria for millennia.

Embargoes were reportedly applied eleven days into the war due to perceived support for Israel. Initially to the u.s. and the Netherlands, quickly expanding to the uk, western europe and Japan. Oil prices were said to have risen from US$3 before the war to US$15 in November 1974. Was accompanied in the uk by a major dispute with coal miners, and power outages due to an electricity workers dispute, leading to a state of emergency and a three day working week for industry.

The second crisis following the Iranian revolution was thought to be due to western influences. Resulted in oil prices going from US$13 per barrel in 1979 to US$34 in mid 1980. Reportedly, affected companies were British petroleum (BP), Chevron (Texaco) and Shell (Royal dutch shell). The Iranian revolution was the overthrowing of the Shah of Iran and the Pahlavi dynasty and the establishment of an islamic republic under Ayatollah Khomeini. Possibly supported by leftist and student organisations. Lead to a migration of the privileged

The president of Chad has been killed, according to one report whilst visiting soldiers who were fighting rebels. Three hundred rebels were aid to have been killed. Chad has reportedly been fighting with the french in Chad, Mali, Burkino Faso, Mauritania and Niger.

According to reports the result of an April 11 general election on Monday, described as provisional stated President Deby had succeeded to his sixth term. On election day, described as rebels attacked or possibly invaded the north of the country. The army said the president had been commanding the army at the weekend as it battled the rebels, and died from injuries sustained at the weekend.

Reportedly, according to legislation, in the absence of a president or in case he dies, the speaker of the parliament takes charge of the country for forty days until elections are held; but the military have announced that both the legislative assembly and the constitution have been dissolved.

According to a report the uk have urged its citizens to leave the country. Non essential u.s. government employees have also been ordered to leave.

The Ukraine became part of Russia in 1793, reportedly gaining independence in 1991. Thought to be due to public pressure. According to reports since 1994 the Ukraine has agreed to the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty as a nuclear free nation.

Amid current news of a russian military build up on the Ukraine border, two u.s. naval ships were said to be planning to sail to the Black Sea on April 14th and 15th until 4th and 5th May. The u.s. have said they will deploy additional troops in Germany, contrary to Donald Trump’s plans to withdraw from europe.

Crimea was captured by Russia in 2014. The same year, protests from the people of the Donbas region of the Ukraine against the government reportedly resulted in Russia waging a political and military campaign in the area, said to be ongoing. Crimea is the subject of an ongoing dispute, being described as an independent republic and federal region of Russia by Russia, and part of the Ukraine by the Ukraine.

Under Gorbachev’s reforms of 1989 the enforced migration in 1944 of Taters living in Crimea, a peninsula which spans the Ukraine and Turkey was pronounced illegal. Since the soviet dissolution of 1991, russian policy reportedly consists of pro western factions, slavophiles and imperialists. Slavophilia was said to have existed in Poland, Serbia Croatia and Czechoslavakia. They are often collectivist rather than individualist cultures though there are exceptions.

According to statistics, from 1993 to 2014 the Ukraine population decreased by 6.6 million. The nuclear accident in Chernobyl, and aftermath were probably major factors. Reportedly the Ukraine president Viktor Yanukovych was ousted in 2014, said to be following a decision not to sign a Ukraine-EU association agreement which was eventually signed in 2016. Though the Ukraine is said to be one of the largest grain exporters in the world, along with Moldova it is reportedly the poorest country in Europe, and very corrupt. Since their independence in 1991 they are said to have played a significant role in u.n. military operations and are known to have had controversial links with a u.s. company which was reported to be selling Iraqi oil.

According to reports, kremlin critic and leader of an opposition movement in the one party transcontinental country, Alexei Navalny will be entering his third week of hunger strike in protest at his treatment by the Russian authorities. Navalny was reportedly poisoned with a novichok nerve agent, one of a group of nerve agents developed by the soviet union between 1971 and 1993. He is said to have become violently ill during a domestic flight in August, which lead to an emergency landing in Siberia and hospitalisation. He was put in a medically induced coma, reportedly to reduce metabolic activity and blood flow to the brain in order to minimise swelling and protect from permanent damage. Two days later he was transferred to the Charité hospital in Berlin, one of Europe’s largest university hospitals with numerous said to be collaborative research centres. The use of the nerve agent was confirmed by five laboratories certified by the organisation for the prohibition of chemical weapons, a branch of the chemical weapons convention. On 17 January Navalny returned to Russia and was arrested.

The chemical weapons convention was accused of being u.s. dominated following objections and a reshuffle relating to plans to include Iraq, which would have allowed monitors into Iraq and could have averted a war. The cwc reportedly cooperates with the u.n., not thought by all to be impartial. Authoritarianism and a lack of trust may prevent any cooperation between the Russian government and Navalny who has popular support in Russia and beyond, but some sources say he may be backed by the uk. Opinion is any collaberation between the two parties should be good for Russia from a nationalist perspective.
