1/  Russian Intelligence chief, popular Cambridge teacher die in “air accident“
In the “Intelligence World” and in politics things rarely happen by accident. In a tragic air crash in Russia (Tartarstan) some particular passengers on-board the ill fated plane were of particular note. Granted Tartarstan Airlines does not have the greatest of airline safety records, one would think an FSB official would be much more aware of potential risks…..

Donna Bull – described as a popular teacher at (Bellerby’s College at Cambridge-International Studies) and program administrator. She was on a business trip to Kazan,Tartarstan with her Russian friend and college Yana Baranova (recruitment manager for Bellerby’s in Moscow). Both were members of Study Group. A group that assists higher education students that go abroad outside of their own countries to study in another country. Perfect cover for any intelligence group either overtly or covertly!

Son (Irek) of Tartarstan’s President (Rustam Minnikhanov)
Irek was not untypical of the sons and daughters of the new elite. He was 23 years old and was involved with banking in Bern Switzerland and apparently had attended Webster University at the Bern Campus in Switzerland. His wife is a french-woman named Antonia Guichard, she was not on the plane.

FSB Security Chief (Head of FSB in Tartarstan)- Lt.Gen ,Aleksandr Antonov
“Aleksandr Antonov worked in state security service for 29 years. He started working in 1984, and moved up through all steps of the promotional ladder. In 2009 Aleksandr Antonov headed Department of Federal Security Service in Komi Republic, and since June 22, 2011 – Tatarstan Department of Federal Security Service”

2/ Is it curtains for the American dollar?
 Weve heard this might be coming and now it seems it will be…..

Twenty-three countries begin setting up swap lines to bypass dollar 

“For several years, financial analysts, primarily those outside the mainstream of academia, have been warning that any day could be the black swan event that collapses the dollar, and ends U.S. hegemony as caretaker of the world’s reserve currency. That day has finally arrived as on Nov. 18, a former head trader for a major financial institution issued a harbinger and stated that 23 countries, and 60% of the world’s GDP, are right now setting up new swap lines which bypass the dollar, SWIFT, and the BIS, and will usher in a new global currency system which will kill the dollar.” -full article here

In a recent report by The Washington Post, it was revealed that the FBI has been able to secretly activate a target’s laptop camera “without triggering the light that lets users know it is recording” for several years. While this may be surprising to some, it really shouldn’t be. Previous reports revealed that the FBI employs hackers to create software to remotely activate the microphones on laptops and cell phones as well as cameras. The U.S. government has also become the world’s largest buyer of malware. The NSA also recommended physically removing the webcam from Apple laptops for security reasons.
In August, the Wall Street Journal reported that the FBI has developed hacking tools like this for over a decade, though they rarely are discussed publicly.
