Another related blogspot of "blueprint news", and which is dating back to March 2014, reminds the historic development in Eastern Ukraine. Russian literary sources from the early years after World War II indicate that after German forces could be beaten back in 1943/44, workers came from all over Russia to the Donezk bassin to restore the essential coal mining industry and connected industrial branches. Some industry important as well for the production of arms had been partly transferred to regions east of the Ural mountains or to the Sverdlovsk area at a time when German troops still hurried eastwards toward Stalingrad, the place that should become a graveyard for many of them.

A visitor from Manchuria reminds Russia's short war against Japan
Since 1930 Japan had increased its sphere of influence in China's territory of Manchuria. That region had always been the target of Russia's and Japan's opposing interests because of its natural resources. The town of Harbin, an important junction for Russia's Manchurian railway line was so much under Russian influence that, both, Chinese and Russian was spoken there.
When Japan in 1932 finally invaded essential parts of Manchuria and founded the puppet state of Manchukuo with its capital Hsinking (now: Changchun), they employed PuYi, the last emperor of China who had just succeeded to get out of the hostile Republic of China. As emperor KangDe (since 1934) he tried to give reputation to the Japanese protectorate of Manchukuo, however with rather modest success.
When Japan surrendered to the western alliance in 1945 after the nuclear strikes of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, PuYi / KangDe tried to leave for Japan in order to surrender to U.S. forces. Unable to find a plane, he finally decided to surrender to a Russian unit that followed fleeing Japanese troops, now that Stalin could afford sending troops to the Far East after the fall of Berlin. From his autobiography PuYi is quoted as saying: "We could have been hiding there for weeks but it would have made no sense any longer."
[浦仪：我的前半生]
Much later, Puyi was transferred from Russia to a Chinese prison for war criminals where he was held during the years of the Korean war when Manchuria served the People's Republic of China as a base for their "Chinese Volunteers' Army" on duty in North Korea. After reeducation, he became a regular citizen and, much later, even a member of the National Commission of the Political Consultation Conference for the People of China. China's first minister of foreign affairs and later prime minister Zhou EnLai ensured his protection up to the end. PuYi died in 1967, probably from cancer of the kidneys.
Editor's Remark:
As to the truth of that Chinese reeducation story, there are lots of photos showing PuYi during and after reeducation, together with remaining members of his imperial family (especially with younger brother PuJie) or in the presence of Zhou Enlai on official occasions. So, if the whole story was a fake, it would be a very well done fake and a highly professionally staged plot.
The Manchurian Strategic Offensive Operation (Манчжурская стратегическая наступательная операция) began on 9th August 1945, with the Soviet invasion of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo and was the last campaign of the Second World War and the largest of the 1945 Soviet–Japanese War which resumed hostilities between the Soviet Union and the Empire of Japan after almost six years of peace. Soviet gains on the continent were Manchuria, Inner Mongolia and Northern Korea. The rapid defeat of Japan's Kwantung Army with its central command in Hsinking (Changchun) has been argued to be a significant factor in the Japanese surrender and the end of World War II, as Japan realized the Soviets were willing and able to take the cost of invasion of its Home Islands, after their rapid conquest of Manchuria and South Sakhalin.
As agreed with the Allies at the Tehran Conference in November 1943 and the Yalta Conference in February 1945, the Soviet Union entered World War II's Pacific Theater within three months of the end of the war in Europe. The invasion began on 9th August 1945, exactly three months after the German surrender on 8th May (9th May, 0:43 Moscow time).
Although the commencement of the invasion fell between the atomic bombings of Hiroshima, on 6th August, and Nagasaki, on 9th August, the timing of the invasion had been planned well in advance and was determined by the timing of the agreements at Tehran and Yalta, the long
term buildup of Soviet forces in the Far East since Tehran, and the date of the German surrender some three months earlier. On 3rd August, Marshal Vasilevsky reported to Premier Joseph Stalin that, if necessary, he could attack on the morning of 5th August.

A visitor from Prague reminds German occupation of Czechoslovakia
On 15th March 1939, German troops entered Prague on behalf of Nazi-leader Adolf Hitler who then proclaimed from Hradjin Castle the German protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia ("Böhmen und Mähren"). During German occupation (1939-45), most members of Prague's once extensive Jewish community were deported and killed. In 1942, Prague witnessed the assassination of one of the most powerful men in Nazi Germany – Reinhard Heydrich – during Operation Anthropoid, accomplished by Czechoslovak national heroes Jozef Gabčík and Jan Kubiš. Heydrich was chief of the "Reichssicherheitshauptamt" (Reich Main Security Office) that comprised all essential German police organizations and "Stellvertretender Reichsprotektor" (Deputy Reich-Protector) of Bohemia and Moravia. On 5th May 1945, shortly before Germany capitulated, an uprising against Germany occurred. Four days later the 3rd Shock Army of the Soviet Red Army liberated the city. The majority (about 50.000 people) of the German population of Prague either fled or was expelled by the Beneš decrees in the aftermath of the war.

On behalf of the U.S. defence ministry "Pentagon" a spokesman confirmed that Iranian forces seized the ship "Maersk Tigris" which belongs to the company Maersk and is registered in the Marshall Islands.
[Source: Al-Arabiya العربية on 28th April 2015]
Name: MAERSK TIGRIS
Type: Container Ship
Gross Tonnage: 52600 t
Deadweight: 62292 t
Build: 2014
Flag: MARSHALL ISLANDS
Anchored in Bandar Abbas
since 28th April 2015, 19:35.
Editor's Note:
According to other sources, the MV Maersk Tigris has been stopped by Iranian forces belonging to the Revolutionary Guards without any obvious reason known so far. The Marshall Islands where the ship has been registered is connected with the United States by some association treaty that leaves all military defense of the island nation to the U.S.. That's why the nearby cruising destroyer USS Farragut has been ordered by the Pentagon to observe the situation.
Washington Examiner on 28th April 2015 (local date!):
Iran's seizure of the Maersk Tigris is the second time in a week it has harassed transiting vessels under U.S. protection in the Strait of Hormuz.
A senior defense official at the Pentagon said that on Friday, the Maersk Kensington, a U.S.-flagged cargo vessel, was intercepted by four Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy patrol craft.
"In the incident, the [Iranian] patrol craft at one point encircled the Maersk Kensington, and eventually followed the ship as it continued on its course. The [Iranian] units eventually withdrew from the area," the official said.
Iran's harassment of ships in the Strait follows its attempt last week to send a convoy of vessels to Yemen, which was eventually turned away after the arrival of the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt.
Fars News Agency FNA, Tehran on Wednesday 29th April 2015:
After informed sources told FNA last night that "the ship ... has been seized by Iranian naval forces at the request of Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization IPMO", IPMO deputy chief Hadi Haqshenas explained in his today remarks that Maersk Tigris has been engaged in payment disputes with the Iranian "Pars Tala'eyeh Oil Products Company" for several years.
He said the Iranian company had "started litigation in recent years to sue Maersk Line Shipping Co.", adding that "after the court of appeal upheld the initial court ruling in favor of the Iranian company, ordering Maersk Line Shipping Co. to make up for the financial losses of the plaintiff, the decree was sent to Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization - which is in charge of maritime affairs according to international laws and regulations - on March 15, 2015 to be put into effect".
"The IPMO then requested the operational forces to put the court ruling in action," Haqshenas continued.
Haqshenas's statements were later today repeated in an official statement of the IPMO, where the organization underscored that the seizure was "purely the result of a legal case and not a military development in nature".
The statement also added that all the moves made with regard to the vessel, including the court proceedings and ruling, "fully comply with the international laws and maritime rules and regulations".
"Given the legal nature of the case and considering that the responsibility for the seized vessel falls under the judicial authority now, its release will only be possible through a judicial decree," it stressed.
The IPMO statement also reiterated that Maersk Co. has been fully briefed about the detailed measures adopted with regard to the vessel and the crew since its seizure in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday.
Later today, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham also made similar remarks, stressing the legal nature of the seizure.
She also underlined that the crew are "fully sound and healthy" and "have been provided with full consular access".
.....
Iranian sources had earlier stated that the crew members were from Britain, Bulgaria, Romania and Myanmar.
International law recognizes Iran that has the lengthiest coastline (more than 2,000km) on the rims of the Persian Gulf as to be in charge of security in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.
In Iran, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy is responsible for protecting security of territorial waters in the Persian Gulf, while the naval forces of the regular army are in charge of security in the Caspian Sea as well as missions in the high seas.
America confirms the withdrawal of Iranian ships ..... and last dementi.
نفى قائد البحرية الإيرانية أن تكون سفن بلاده قد غادرت المياه الدولية في خليج عدن قبالة اليمن، وأكد أن السفن لا تزال موجودة هناك بهدف تأمين السفن التجارية الإيرانية.ـ
The Iranian navy commander denied that ships of his country abandoned international waters in the Gulf of Aden facing Yemen and stressed that [=> his navy's] ships would not leave from there in order to secure the Iranian merchant ships.
وكان مسؤولون أميركيون أعلنوا أن واشنطن سحبت حاملة الطائرات "ثيودور روزفلت" والبارجة "نورماندي" من سواحل اليمن، بعدما غيرت قافلة سفن إيرانية كانت متجهة إلى اليمن مسارها وعادت أدراجها.ـ
U.S. officials made known that Washington withdrew the aircraft carrier "Theodor Roosevelt" and battleship "Normandy" from the coasts of Yemen. Things had
changed after a convoy of Iranian ships, heading to Yemen, turned back on track.
القافلة كانت تضم 9 سفن إيرانية، منها اثنتان حربيتان كانت في طريقها إلى اليمن على ما يبدو، إلا أن مسؤولاً أميركياً أفاد أن السفن الإيرانية تحركت إلى الشمال الشرقي مبتعدة عن اليمن.ـ
The convoy comprised nine Iranian ships, including two warships, on their way to Yemen, until it seemed that U.S. officials noted the Iranian ships were moving to the north-east [and] away from Yemen.
[Source: Al-Arabiya العربية on 25-26th April 2015.]
Editor's Note:
Both Iranian navy ships are rather small frigates and belong to the Iranian "Thondor" Type 021-class of missile-boats while the USS Theodor Roosevelt is a 100.000 ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier known as the "Big Stick" and that is coming together with her escort, the guided missile cruiser USS Normandy. According to western media, the merchant ships of the Iranian convoy are believed to be loaded with weapons for the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Guenter Grass was a German novelist, poet, playwright, illustrator, graphic artist, sculptor and recipient of the 1999 Nobel Prize in Literature. Grass was born in the Free City of Danzig on October 16, 1927, and died on April 13, 2015, in Lübeck.
"What Must Be Said" (German: "Was gesagt werden muss") is a 2012 prose poem written by Guenter Grass, a poem discussing an alleged threat of annihilation of the Iranian people. Grass exposes his fears that Germany's delivery to Israel of a sixth Dolphin class submarine, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, might facilitate an eventual Israeli nuclear attack on Iran, and thus involve his country Germany in a foreseeable crime.
The poem was first published on 4 April 2012 by the Süddeutsche Zeitung (Germany), La Repubblica (Italy) and El País (Spain), triggering four days later the declaration by Eli Yishai, the Israeli Minister for the Interior, that Grass, who had visited Israel in 1967 and 1971, was now persona non grata.
At that time, I volunteered to provide independent translations of the disputed Grass poem into the English and French language and published them in a blogspot of "blueprint news" that was titled Israel - German Submarine Delivery Raising Protest. Via an external link these translations are still available from the Wikipedia page which is dedicated to the original version written by Guenter Grass. Useless to mention that lots of people from all over the world came to read my translations. And when I noticed that Grass died the day before, I found again an impressive list of visitors to "blueprint news" and who could be identified just on the day Guenter Grass died.
What else to say about his worldwide recognition, even though there were many who blamed him for obscuring his own past during World War II when he served
in the Waffen-SS while he was still a very young man with few experience of life.

Editor's Note:
Sheikh Sayyid Abdul-Malik al-Houthi (born January 1st, 1982- dead 12 april 2015) was a leader of the Zaidi Shia movement Ansar Allah (Houthis). His brothers Yahia Badreddin al-Houthi and Abdul-Karim Badreddin Al-Houthi are also leaders of the group, as was his late brother Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi. Houthi addressed the nation on Yemen TV in a late-night speech on 20 January 2015 after troops loyal to him seized the presidential palace and attacked the private residence of President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi in Sana'a. He demanded Hadi implement reforms giving the Houthi movement more control over the government. Although it was initially reported that Hadi conceded to Houthi's demands, the president resigned from office on 22 January, saying the political process had "reached a dead end".
