    http://therebel.website/en/mike-king/825826-the-myth-of-the-russian-oligarchs

    This article is as stupid as it is mendacious. It condemns Putin for rewarding those loyal to him.

    Is Putin supposed to reward those who are disloyal to Russia? Perhaps he should he invite pro-western criminals such as Navalny, Kasparov and Khodorkovsky into his inner circle? Maybe even the nasty whores of ‘Pussy Riot’ can get a seat at the Kremlin table?

    25-minute interview from 15 Dec 2014, English subtitles.
    How and why the Ruble was driven lower. Nikolai Starikov
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un5rsKFo7Xo

    Nikolai Starikov, writer on geo-politics and international finance, explains in detail the mechanisms of the ruble’s 2014 fall, the passivity or complicity of the financial authorities, and the end result this is leading to.

    Attacks against Russia are happening on multiple fronts, including:
    – Sanctions suspending credit lines from abroad;
    – Speculators easily manipulating the RUB exchange rates;
    – False flag atrocities;
    – The oil price determined by OPEC;
    – Preparation of a “Patriotic Maidan”.

    Starikov claims that all of the above is instigated by Washington to defend the dollar’s supremacy and prevent the rise of the Eurasian Economic Union, which officially comes into existence at the beginning of 2015.

    @ New Insight at 1:20 – I take every opportunity I can to say “Thank You!” for your video channel and your accumulation of new, provocative talks from major Russian figures. Just starting to watch this latest from Starikov now, so I have no comments yet about the video – but to you, Thanks!

    The official recognition of the zionazi/nazi private orgs as a serious threat means the Russians will not give them quarter.

    Hear that, Israel-American “off the shelf” terrorist business “employees”? Once busted, you’re fertilizer, no 2nd chance. Is the money worth the crime?

    BOT TAK I guess those animals were genetically developed ? Monsanto…is that Israeli owned ? I would imagine it is Zionist owned, as I’ve noticed myself that Jews-possibly Zionists buy little companies…for instance.

    A really good natural eyeshadow made of minerals was started in BC,.

    A few years later, when I wanted to buy more, the company belonged to “Cobra Toys”…make-up???

    And the head guy, when I complained that the colors were much fewer, his name was Yael.

    @Ann: Monsanto to a great degree is owned and developed by Bill Gates. the owner of Microsoft and The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which experiments on African and Indian children with vaccines. Not to mention forcing the use of GMOs throughout the world. A thoroughly evil man by any standard.Karpatok

    Saker,

    It is hard for me to think too much right now. As one who has been reading and commenting on this blog at least since Strelkov’s retreat from Slavyiansk, to be honest I feel more beaten down by the Western MSM Evil Empire propaganda machine that at any time. Including when the Ukrainian army and the Nazi battalions were gloating, via their mouthpieces at the (MI6 run) Reuters, that the conquest of Donetsk and Lugansk were imminent. Even at that low point I understood enough Soviet/Russian military history to know that a sudden, shocking martial reversal was quite possible and even probable since the junta seemed way too overconfident given the shambolic state of its supply lines and frontline forces.

    Yet to see Russia agree to ship coal to Ukraine with a ‘pretend to buy now and don’t pay a kopek later’ agreement, the very day or two after the Kiev regime cut off Crimea and the Western presstitutes boasted about Crimea being in the dark after days of ignoring hours-long rolling blackouts across Ukraine only Russian and Novorossiya media reported, has been depressing. It feels like capitulation, and is terrible optics, even from the point of view that yes Putin the new Hitler cares more about the Ukrainians sitting in the dark this winter and possibly freezing to death than does Kiev or Washington. The ‘aggressor nation’ that #InvadedUkraine is sending coal to prevent mass blackouts from causing discontent against the regime it is supposedly hellbent on overthrowing. But the Western presstitutes, NATO and Deep State propagandists don’t give a damn about such contradictions. All they care about is their little victory jig like their Obozo commander in chief proclaiming to his sycophant Candy Crowley of the dying Clinton News Network that the sanctions are working and Putin and more importantly Russia are being weakened and humiliated:

    http://www.erietvnews.com/story/27680365/obama-putin-is-no-chess-master

    I don’t know what else to say except today seems both literally and spiritually dark for the people of Crimea, despite the lights coming back on temporarily because broke ass no money for coal or gas Kiev’s hostage taking scam worked.

    Hollywood propaganda threatens world peace –

    I can only think of one group or nationality that your Hollywood portrays in a positive light. In your movies the French and Italians are cowards, the Germans are Nazis, the Russians are communists, the English are colonialists, the Mexicans are drug dealing criminals, the Chinese are slave-masters, the Africans are savages, and the Muslims are terrorists. Your slanderous defamation of everyone else in the world through the use of these joint public/private propaganda movies is an offensive act, and North Korea has every right to object.

    This type of provocation, however politically irresponsible, is not unpredictable. Whatever the United States does to ultimately pull the last straw of world patience, it will probably be ugly and will leave an image of the remains of a nation that ended because it pushed the debauchery factor too far. Everything about Hollywood is one gaping wound on the American landscape anyway, but for these jokers and idiots to enter the field of world political agitation proves once and for all that it is only a matter of time before the world reacts to America, which North Korea branded a “cesspool of terrorism.”

    Almost all wars begin with false flag operations.

    The coming conflicts in North Korea and Russia are no exception.

    Mass public hysteria is being manufactured to justify aggression against Moscow and Pyongyang, in retaliation for acts attributed to the North Korean and Russian governments, but orchestrated and carried out by the CIA and the Pentagon.

    Indonesia Verifies Reports on AirAsia Plane’s Emergency Landing

    “BALI (INDONESIA), December 28 (Sputnik) — Indonesian Ministry of Transportation is currently verifying information claiming that the missing AirAsia aircraft has made an emergency landing in the eastern part of the Belitung island in the Java Sea, the ministry’s representative said Sunday.

    “We at the [crisis] center [in Jakarta] have not received such information yet. According to some data, our colleagues in Surabaya have learned it. We are currently checking this,” the ministry’s representative J. A. Barata told Detik.com.

    According to Detik.com, a relative of a missing passenger received a text message from an unknown sender, stating that the plane made an emergency landing and all passengers were alive.

    AirAsia flight QZ8501 en route from Surabaya, Indonesia to Singapore, lost contact with air traffic control at 07:24 a.m. local time (00:24 GMT) and went missing…”

    More info on the Ukraine reactor, it looks ominous:

    ДНР: В районе ЗАЭС радиационный фон превышает допустимый уровень в 14 раз (DND: In the area of ZNPP background radiation exceeds the permissible level 14 times)

    http://vz.ru/news/2014/12/28/722635.html https://z5h64q92x9.net/tr-url/ru-en.ru/www.vz.ru/news/2014/12/28/722635.html

    “The Chairman of the people’s Council DND Denis Putilin stated that in the district of Zaporizhzhya NPP background radiation exceeds the permissible level in 14 times, supposedly this happened while trying to replace the core blocks of the Russian production of products of the American company.

    “Currently, in the district of Zaporizhzhya NPP background radiation exceeds the permissible level 14 times. According to available data, the main reason for this is to stop on November 28, the third power station, which occurred after an unsuccessful attempt to replace the core blocks of the Russian production of products of the American company Western house”, – reads the statement of the Chairman of the people’s Council DND Denis Putilina, which is quoted by “Interfax”.

    Information about excess radioactive background in the area of ZNPP from other sources yet.

    Earlier on Sunday it became known that the sixth ZNPP unit was disconnected from the network in the operation of protective system.

    Background radiation, as explained in the press service of NPP corresponds to the natural radiation background at the location of the Zaporizhzhya NPP and is 8-12 micro-roentgen per hour.

    In late November of this year Zaporizhzhya NPP has disabled third unit from interconnectors. After Minister of energy and coal industry of Ukraine Volodymyr Demchyshyn, this was due to short circuit in the system transmit electricity.

    Disabling the third unit ZNPP was one of the reasons for introducing graphs blackouts throughout the country. His work was resumed on December 5 after repair.”

    MOSCOW, December 28. /TASS/. Moscow praises highly the participation of Ukrainian Choice public movement leader Viktor Medvedchuk in talks for a captive exchange between Ukrainian authorities and representatives of conflict-torn regions in southeast Ukraine.
    “Moscow values highly the role which Medvedchuk played in attaining an accord on the recent captive swap,” Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS.
    “In fact, his constructive ties showed that these talks have no alternative to shape an atmosphere of trust and to achieve concrete results to settle the conflict in Ukraine,” he noted.
    Hmm-If ukr finally decides to get some common sense, is Moscow supporting this guy to be a future leader of a federated Ukraine?
    Would rus be interested in “supporting” political parties such as The Lithuanian political party Order and Justice (wants to take CIA to international justice) against vitriolic Lith. president for example?

    Somehow I’m just feeling various countries might be beginning to wake up to their own political vulnerabilities by following western democratic principles/ideals…..this guy might be interesting to contact for vineyard??

    “The recent pronouncements of American deputy foreign secretary Sarah Sewall are very revealing. She has spoken openly and stridently about how the United States, interpreted quite broadly and specifically (sic), is devoting millions of dollars in the interest of national security to executing various action plans in two dozen Eastern-European countries” etc etc for a new kind of “Alliance of Free Democrats” organisation……
    Can anyone appraise recent drastic developments in Belarus- “The Aide to the Belarus President said he was confident that the problems will be resolved, including thanks to the trusting relations between the presidents of Belarus and Russia.” Could Serbia, Hungary, Belarus Slovakia/ others?? tend towards re-inventing themselves politically as Rus “satellites” in some way, perhaps by OSCE, not just economic ties/association?
    Is Belarus so vital?? to Minsk progress it is vulnerable to western/baltic NATO subversion/subjugation? I see references to “authoritarian” president, etc etc in msm….

    Artist Андрей Тарусов created a calender of the pleasant sights to be found at various Crimea beaches:

    “…According to the Creator, the creation of this work, it took him almost a year.

    – For a long time I suffered with a future theme. In the end, I found a solution: I asked his fans: “On what topic you would like to see the calendar for 2015?” Most wrote to me that it would be great to create a calendar on the theme of the sights of the Crimea, ” says Andrew.

    The artist says that he had to choose a theme from a huge number of ideas, but the theme of the Crimea liked immediately…”

    The children are meant for a ritual sacrifice to either Moloch or Marduk? Not sure which one of those two but one of the two. The plane, it’s intended target is most likely Ukraine, the Jesuits are planning on using it to create a HUGE nuclear explosion in the area, as they are planning on using that to escape via the tear it would cause in the quantum field / fabric of space-time-reality. One more sacrifice, and then head for the hills. My guys are doing what they can already to prevent this, but we need some real boots on the ground kind of interferences.

    article continues from interview President Hungarian Parliament “In this way it is apparent that a world political power struggle is under way, whose stake is not only the fate of Hungary but all of Europe, but the chance of European nation-state sovereignty and true democracy.
    (my comment-exactly opposite what Yats says!!!!)

    What can we do in this situation? Can we do anything at all?

    We can shake off the moral burden of believing the solution is in our hands. It is completely unnecessary, because it is hopeless, to make diplomatic efforts in the interest of proving to the Americans – to transpose the old communist phraseology to suit our situation today—we are not revisionist deviationists, and it is not necessary to send troops in the spirit of the Brezhnev doctrine to regulate us.Having won membership (in the EU) is it not our mutual goal to emancipate ourselves within the framework of the European Union? Hungarian diplomacy must concentrate on this and a strategic cooperation with Germany.

    Do the Americans represent the logic of war?

    It seems totally irrational logic is starting to run the world. Petty, selfish people not suitable for the political arena are twisting the fate of countries and peoples from North Africa to the Central-East back to Europe, according to what appears to be a long-term strategy, but is really only according to momentary interests. On the subject of the logic of war, such theories exist that the First World War did not end, but continued with the Second. To continue this thought, the Second did not end, but continued as the Cold War. And looking back on the past twenty-five years we can establish that the Fourth World War is under way.”
    States USA will try to reset up minority political parties that a governing party can do without, thus unwillingly submitting to foreign subversion.

    Euros and dollars”fleeing” the country, like belarus?

    Dear Saka,

    I came across an article Counterpunch Org!

    The Empire is Crumbling, That is Why it Needs War by ANDRE VLTCHEK

    “Last night, in Beijing, I sat in a historic Szechuan restaurant with a friend who happens to be a Chinese diplomat. We exchanged some stories, ordered food, and then, suddenly, my throat felt dry and my eyes got misty.

    I bowed and thanked her for the heartfelt offer China made to rescue Russia.

    Just before leaving my hotel, I read the news on the RT:

    “China’s foreign minister has pledged support to Russia as it faces an economic downturn due to sanctions and a drop in oil prices. Boosting trade in Yuan is a solution proposed by Beijing’s commerce minister.

    ‘Russia has the capability and the wisdom to overcome the existing hardship in the economic situation,’ Foreign Minister Wang Yi told journalists. China Daily reported Monday: ‘If the Russian side needs it, we will provide necessary assistance within our capacity.’”

    By no means was I representing the Russian Federation here, in Beijing, nor was my friend representing China that night, at the dining table. It was an informal meeting attended by just a few friends, nothing more.

    Not to mention that I am not really, ‘technically’ a Russian. Yes, I was born in Leningrad but almost my entire life I spent elsewhere… all over the world, to be precise. And in my veins, not that it really matters; it is also all confused… there circulates an explosive mixture of Russian, Chinese and European blood…… (read more in Counterpunch Org! )

    American Kulak-I just think it is becoming Ukr’s national characteristic, from the ATO forces, sbu, and political and government posts etc to hold anyone/anything hostage they can and blackmail them all in any way they can to cover up their own depradations and failings-Eu, NATO, Rus,Crimea etc etc…..as Crimea’s electricity is supplied on a loop from ukr, ukr needs coal to feed the loop, but will us every delay possible eg Minsk, just like not releasing remaining 800+ held/captured/kidnapped(not forgetting innocents have been for example tortured to death in Ukr) from the east-it is the western characteristic to gloat and cheer over any mis-percieved weakness in anything they do not wish to understand, projecting their own fear sand weaknesses and immorality in multiple forms of “violence”,in fact what ever form suits them best.
    Contrast with DNr LNr trying their best to develop a sense of statehood and responsibility for people, Crimea and Rus trying to rebuild a future from insanity and supporting the needs of those in want.

    He is the guy who, while in the Government said in 2011 that oil price will be at $60 in 2 year time, called for creation of a reserve fund (true, he could name another number and wait long enough for this to happen, and that was not his only number, –the other did not happen,– but still)…

    IENNA, December 29. /TASS/. Ukrainian authorities should initiate substantial talks on the country’s federalization and come to terms with the authorities of the self-proclaimed republics in the southeast of the country, Austrian President Heinz Fischer said.
    The settlement of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine should first of all begin with “the observation of the ceasefire regime,” Fischer said in an interview with APA news agency.VIENNA, December 29. /TASS/. European Union’s possible further sanctions in regard to Russia may be a ‘foolish and damaging’ step, Austrian President Heinz Fischer said in an interview with APA news agency.
    “I believe it is a false and even damaging point of view that the sanctions [against Russia] can be toughened to the extent, when Russia is weak and can be subjected to the desired [outside] political goals,” Fischer said.
    According to the Austrian president, “the Russian economy has a certain reserve of durability.”KIEV, December 28. /TASS/. Only Russian gas will make it possible to meet practically half of Ukraine gas demand, Konstantin Borodin, a leading Ukrainian energy expert, said on Sunday.“Whereas the European Union is looking for alternative sources of fuel, Ukraine’s government cancels laws that make it possible to save it,” he added.“We must waste no time and contact Russia. It is the key source of energy available to Ukraine now.
    Poro-I think it inadmissible to continue the practice of rolling blackouts, especially ahead of the holidays,”
    December 28. /TASS/. The Chechen people is ready to defend Russia’s interests and safeguard its border, Head of Russia’s North Caucasian Republic of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov said on Sunday.
    “America and Europe have declared an economic war on Russia. They are seeking to spread chaos, panic and mass upheavals,” he said at a meeting with the republic’s law enforcers at the Sultan Belimkhanov stadium in Grozny.
    December 28 (Sputnik) — Western countries wish to end the “logic of confrontation” in its relations with Russia over the Ukrainian crisis and engage in direct dialogue with Moscow, EU’s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Sunday.“Russia has an important role not only in Ukraine, but also in Syria, Iran, the Middle East, Libya,” she told the newspaper.-sounds like panic to me.
    Report from the militia:

    The punitives shelling Gorlovka at about 22:30, it was reported from Gorlovka. Shells fell down at the mine 6,7, Glubokaya, Shirokaya Balka, Rtutniy, Kurganka and Brssarabka. The situation in Donetsk was strengthening in the afternoon; salvos were heard periodically in all the parts of the city. The battle keeps on in Peski. Explosions are heard near the mine Butovka.”
    So the coal mines are shelled but Rus supplies coal——-crazy.
    Klitsevich added that in another case, he will initiate the appeal of the State Duma to the president with request to start supplying of military technique to the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. The deputy pointed out that “extreme decision of the USA” “can provoke” the Russian part to do such step.

    intresting article Georgia -Moscow relations optimistic, prime minister resists western skewed political set up of minority parties that are over influential, and ukraine is not regarded as sensible by any means.

    “In the midst of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis Hungary should not forget either that more than 100,000 Hungarians are living in Karpátalja (Carpatho-Ukraine), a substantial number of which are Hungarian citizens as well. The most important thing for the government is to protect them as well.Naturally, there exist influential United States interest groups as well with which we do not agree on matters of fundamental questions of values”.Hungarian government.
    “MOSCOW, December 29 (Sputnik) – Ukraine plans on fulfilling its obligations on paying Russia $3 billion and will not restructure its Eurobonds, the Ukrainian Finance Ministry’s press center told RIA Novosti on Monday.Russia could use “allies” Serbia and Hungary to break consensus and solidarity within the European Union concerning the newest sanctions against Crimea, as well as general EU sanctions against Russia, according to Russian political analyst Yuri Solozubov”.

    LUHANSK, December 29. /TASS/. Kiev is not yet ready to negotiate vital issues with the self-proclaimed Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR), the republic’s head Igor Plotnitsky .There is no believing Ukraine’s current leadership, as they have failed to observe their promises too many times now,” Plotnitsky said.

    Anyone any thoughts on Russian National Unity parties/movements?
    December 29. /TASS/. The military operation in eastern Ukraine will not end until January 15, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said on Monday.
    “Peace is a long process. It is easy to launch war, but it is difficult to stop it,” he said.
    The first step in this direction has been made. The ceasefire operates and “we should strengthen it,” Poroshenko said. “The second step — humanitarian — has started working,” he said.
    The third direction is the economy. The enterprises working with the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics are unable to work with Ukraine. “We won’t allow them,” Poroshenko said.
    There is no military solution to the conflict in eastern Ukraine, Poroshenko stressed. He added that he will impose martial law in Ukraine if the peace process is disrupted”.
    I’m not impressed by this message I tell you..constant delays, lack of command, authority, private militias out of control, kidnappings, ukr forces breaking ceasefire and still attacking…….militia stopping aid getting through, people starving to death…
    sounds like he is hoping Donbass will start things off again, or hoping they can be provoked?
