No doubt plenty of room for improvement. HTH. And that too... while noting that the request calls for existing past docs, not future improved ones. The time and effort required to produce the narrow list therein is trivial matter of pulling them from file drawer.

[RUS] CCP 95th speech: "in ten years, the key to the new world order will be the tandem of Russia and China" -- Chairman Xi Jinping
by Zenaan Harkness 07 Aug '16

07 Aug '16

The new world order may be all over but the shouting - as long as the dying USA hegemonic dragon does not manage to instigate World War 3! The Chinese may be upping their diplomatic subtlety, and anyway, truth is what it is. Also, I note the stark difference between China's almost but did not happen naval support of Russia in respect of the USA instigated Syrian crisis, yet recently in the South China Sea, Russia has pledged to join China in joint South China Sea naval exercises. Russia, at least under Putin, certainly demonstrates loyalty, which is a rare thing at a governmental level in the modern Western democratic fascist nations world we have lived in for substantial time now... It will be interesting to see how China conducts herself in the coming century or more, as a primary economic (and soon enough military) global power. The Chinese are very present to their most recent "century of humiliation" as they call it, and so their test is how they handle their power in the face of their history. One can hope they learn their diplomacy from Russia rather than the USA of course. Interesting times.. China openly offers Russia an alliance against NATO http://www.fort-russ.com/2016/08/china-openly-offers-russia-alliance.html

IAAF, USA and Canada demand Russian athletes represent "no country" at Olympic games
by Zenaan Harkness 07 Aug '16

07 Aug '16

If anyone wanted an example of propaganda and political bullying: "The IAAF and now the sports bodies of the US and Canada are not only demanding that Russian athletes prove their innocence before they can take part in the Games. They also demand that even if athletes prove their innocence, they should only be allowed to take part in the Games as “neutrals” and not as Russians. Thus even if proved innocent Russian athletes would have to deny their nation and their country – foregoing the right to wear its colours or hear its anthem if they win." http://theduran.com/stalinist-witch-hunt-russian-athletes/ (I'm not sure anyone takes seriously the assertion that USA basically does not use propaganda, only speaks truth and righteousness - I find it quite amazing that such an assertion was even put in this mailing list but I guess it's possible -some- people do believe that...)

justice, USA style: Personal Interview with US-designated Arms Dealer Reveals Torture and Secret Prisons

Every last shred of honour, egalite and any semblance of 'the rule of law' has been irrevocably burned by North American government employees, military employees, justice department employees, 'diplomats' and politicians. The truth steadily comes out these days, for this much we can be grateful.
