40 YEARS AFTER [FAKE] REVOLUTION, PORTUGAL IS ANGRY [Excerpts]
Euphoria gripped Portugal during the 1974 Carnation [FAKE] Revolution, when junior army officers swept away a four-decade dictatorship.
The almost bloodless coup brought what for the Portuguese were novelties —-the right to vote, universal health care, public education, old-age pensions and labor rights.
On the coup's 40th anniversary Friday, the prevailing mood among the Portuguese is anger at how their [?] government is now stripping away those cherished entitlements amid a financial crisis.
Miguel Januario, a 33-year-old street artist painting a commemorative mural on a wall of Lisbon's New University, said he held dear the changes brought by an event he didn't live through, "but since then we've allowed new forms of dictatorship —-in this case financial —- to take over."

A FADING MIDDLE-CLASS PERK: LOWER MORTGAGE RATES [Excerpts]
For three decades, the U.S. [World Tyrant] middle class enjoyed a rare financial advantage over the wealthy: lower mortgage rates.
Now, even that perk is fading away.
Most ordinary homebuyers are paying the same or higher rates than the fortunate few who can afford much more.
Rates for a conventional 30-year fixed mortgage are averaging 4.48 percent, according to Bankrate.
For "jumbo" mortgages —-those above $417,000 in much of the country—- the average is 4.47 percent.
This trend reflects the widening wealth gap between the richest Americans and everyone else.
Bankers now view jumbo borrowers as safer and shrewder bets even though conventional borrowers put less capital at risk.

[World Tyrant] President Barack Obama *last month* orchestrated the first ever meeting between [Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo] Abe and South Korean President Park Geun-hye, ostensibly to talk about their common antagonist: North Korea [the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea].
Yet two days before Obama arrived in Japan on *this week’s* trip to Asia, Abe stirred emotions anew when he had a small gift delivered to the Yasukuni shrine, which honors Japan’s war dead, including 14 war criminals.
“The notion is that America [The World Tyrant] is going to re-balance in favor of Asia, but the parties have to do more, as well, and Abe’s jingoistic gestures threaten to make cooperation on anything a non-starter,” said Jeffrey Kingston, the director of Asian studies at Temple University’s *Tokyo* campus.
“Washington has been trying to knock heads together with the thinking that we can’t hold security issues hostage to history.”
“A lot of these issues, instead of going away after 70 years, seem to be getting worse,” [Charles] Morrison [president of the Hawaii-based East-West Center] said.
“It’s very frustrating for American leaders who want allies to build constructive relationships with each other.”

Media Forum of Independent Local and Regional Media [Excerpts]

VIKTOR LEVANOV: My name is Viktor Levanov, and I’m a blogger.
Here is my question: during the developments in Crimea, there were many attacks on Russian websites: sites of TV channels, other media and government organisations.
According to experts and to certain data, US [World Tyrant] special services and the National Security Agency were behind those attacks; they were launched from the territories of the United States, Europe and Ukraine.
It is an open secret that the United States [The World Tyrant] control[s] the Internet. The Patriot Act [Levanov means to say the Communications Act of 1934] gives them all the power they need. Now the former agent Edward Snowden has opened our eyes. This Act, adopted 80 years ago, in 1934, still allows the President of the United States to shut down communications on the entire planet with a single resolution. How is this possible?
Take Google. I use Google, for instance, all of its services. I am certain that many government officials and major politicians use Google.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Use Yandex.
VIKTOR LEVANOV: I will get to Yandex shortly too, I will get to all of them.
We use Google, which collects users’ personal data. And where does it all go? It all goes to servers in the USA [The World Tyrant]. Hence the question: why can’t they build servers here? I do not want my personal data and information about politicians that run my country to go to the United States [The World Tyrant].
Now over to Yandex, since you mentioned it.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Let me respond to this part first.
Of course, we can and should do this. The only thing is that it all takes time and capital investment. Meanwhile, everything you said is true, pure and simple, as they say –-everything goes through servers located in the United States, everything is monitored there.
You should simply always bear in mind that such is the reality created by the Americans [World Tyrant ubermenschen]. They are the ones who did it. You know that it all began initially, when the Internet first appeared, as a special CIA project. And this is the way it is developing.
The rest is what has made it to the market and took on huge proportions. Nevertheless, it is initially a military programme, a special programme, and special services are still at the centre of things.
However, I know Yandex, VKontakte and other search engines are trying to develop hardware here, and most importantly, they are also working on software. This is happening, but it takes time and money.
Our companies did not have sufficient resources to invest –-now these resources are appearing and the process has begun. I hope it will develop quickly enough and will serve our interests.
VIKTOR LEVANOV: May I ask about Yandex now?
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Yes, go ahead.
VIKTOR LEVANOV: About Yandex: it is good to know that they are developing in Russia and are doing all these things. However, if we speak of the information side of the matter, it is not quite clear what Yandex is: on the one hand we know it as a search engine, where you enter some words and find the information you need; but on the other hand it is a kind of media, because all the time, every day the top five news items Yandex collects from *other* sources are viewed by millions of people. Meanwhile, Yandex does not have a media license and cannot be held liable under the law as a media outlet because it is a search engine.
I am not suggesting shutting it down or anything. I simply want to know when our Government will begin making decisions to free us of *digital aggression*. Thank you.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: As for protection of information, our special services are also working on it and are introducing special security systems. Primarily this has to do with classified information of the Defence Ministry, the defence industry, and government agencies, primarily federal ones. Some things are moving forward, while others are not going so well.
From what we have learned from Mr Snowden, the US [World Tyrant] NSA is very efficient. This is a kind of informational confrontation. It always existed, and *now it is acquiring new forms* on a new technical basis. We have our own special services who are also working on this.
As for the civil sector in general, we already agreed that servers need to be moved and information has to be closed.
Regarding Yandex, things are not that simple either. I will not say now what they can do and how. However, both the Government and the Presidential Executive Office are now working on this issue –-I am sure you know it; it is discussed publicly-– defining the term ‘media’.
You are a blogger. I will not express any opinion now so as not to take sides, however if a certain person influences the views of thousands, tens of thousands of people, essentially this blog can also be termed ‘media’. It affects thousands of people, maybe even hundreds of thousands, I don’t know. A talented person can do this. Why not?
In this case, it is definitely a media outlet. The public has to understand this, assess it and make a balanced decision in the democratic way, via State Duma Deputies. For instance, they can first have a public discussion, say organised by the Russian Popular Front, in the Civic Chamber and so forth. Only we have to make sure we do not have *any* excesses here; we should not impose any bans. We must proceed from reality and act accordingly, the way it is done all over the world.
As for Yandex – I repeat, it is not so simple either. We have to ask them what they can and cannot do. However, when they were starting out, they were forced to have a certain number of Americans and Europeans [World Tyrant / NATO ubermenschen] on their management team, remember? And they had to agree to this. This is why it is a national [?] system.
Part of their registration is also abroad. This is done not only for tax purposes, but for many other reasons as well. This is a complicated area. As I have said, this was all created by the Americans and they want to retain their monopoly. However, *they say monopoly is bad*; it is only good if it is their own monopoly.
It is impossible in the modern world, but we need to consistently protect our interests. The process is underway and the state [The New Russian Empire] will support it.

Authorities in the Indian state of Jharkhand are hunting those behind [how about: those who carried out] a. . .rebel attack which killed three election officials and five policemen.
The attack came half-an-hour after voting in the state closed in the sixth phase of India's general election.
The rebels set off a landmine as a bus carrying officials crossed a bridge near Asna village in the Dumka area.
