One of the lesser known methods of color revolutionaries and snatchers of sovereign countries is to file multiple baseless frivolous lawsuits simultaneously to clog judicial systems and to obstruct and impede the work of courts and law enforcement.
One of the recent most successful attacks took place in December 2014 in Ukraine, when a Soros funded EuroMaidanSOS coordinated with over 400 lawyers to flood the Ukrainian criminal and civil court systems with approximately 5000 complaints, crippling it at a time when the foreign organized violent coup against the democratically elected government of Ukraine was underway. The lawsuits filed in local and superior courts complained about everything from human rights violation, to a poor quality of food in state prisons, to the mismanagement of business contracts by the government.
The result we know: Ukrainian courts and law enforcement agencies were paralyzed, the democratically elected government was overthrown in a bloody coup coordinated by the Pentagon and Brussels, and the fascist junta took a rule over the country and declared the war on half of the population of Ukraine. Simultaneously, it gave the EU and US excuse to declare war on Russia, which was the entire reason why the coup in Ukraine took place initially.
Sixteen months later, we see a flood of lawsuits, 14199 filed against Russia in a supra-government organization the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). You can view those suits here: http://www.echr.coe.int/Documents/CP_Russia_ENG.pdf
The sheer volume of the lawsuits, however, is dwarfed by the amount of the court awards against Russia that projected to exceed $100 trillion by the end of 2015. In comparison, the US economy’s crippling debt that the US will never be able to pay is $18 trillion. There are no caps on ECHR’s awards. The judgments against Russia will soon exceed its GDP. Thus, the European courts turn awards into forms of punitive sanction against Russia’s people.
We have courts that are legal arms of the Council of Europe which is a political organ of the European Union. In 2014 the EU declared war on Russia and banned Russia from being a member of the Council of Europe. The EU and NATO place the armies of the countries of Europe, America, Canada, and Australia on Russia’s borders. After positioning the armies in Narva (158klm from Saint Petersburg) and fleets next to Russia’s territorial waters, the European courts started accepting and rubber stamping tens of thousands lawsuits against Russian taxpayers and proceeded seizing Russian taxpayers assets located in Europe and North America.
The European courts claim two legal grounds for this judicial assault: the Energy Charter Treaty 1994 (ECT), and Russia’s membership in the Council of Europe. Both of these grounds are false.
In regard to the Energy Charter Treaty 1994 (ECT), the EU Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) has ordered Russia to pay $50.08bn to the majority shareholders in Yukos Oil Company. The final award decision was issued on July 18, 2014 after the declaration of war on Russia by the EU and US. See more at: http://www.pca-cpa.org/showpage.asp?pag_id=1599
The tribunal held unanimously that Russia breached its international obligations under the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) – http://www.legalbusiness.co.uk/index.php/lb-blog-view/2681-shearman-sterling-secures-historic-50-billion-arbitration-award-in-yukos-case
There are many major problems with the legality of this monetary award. To name just one, Russia is not a part of ECT. The Energy Charter Treaty has been debated in Russia’s parliament from 1996 and rejected in 2006, when Russia’s Parliament refused to ratify the Energy Charter Treaty and deemed it unconstitutional. http://iam.duma.gov.ru/node/1/4170
A brief history of the ECT in Russian parliament is here. Russian politicians at the time called the treaty “stillborn,” to be “against Russia’s economic interests” and “failed to reflect the real conditions of the market.” http://www.polit.nnov.ru/2009/01/19/energodochart2/
Since the Energy Charter Treaty has never been ratified by the Parliament, Russia is not and has never been a party to this trade treaty. It means that Yukon, and its former owners have also never been parties to this trade treaty.
How did the EU Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) decide to make Russian taxpayers pay over $50bln in alleged violation of a controversial trade treaty that Russian parliament never ratified and even explicitly rejected because the treaty violated the Constitution of Russia?
There are other issues with the Yukos decision. Like the fact that Russia’s government had paid $500mln to former shareholders to settle all the disputes when the company collapsed, and the fact that Yukos was declared bankrupt under the European court.
How can such an old and established EU institution act with such blunt disregard to the law and common sense?
Because every EU institution has been mobilized for the war against Russia. All of their decision-making must be viewed as acts of war.
After taking power in January 2014, the fascist Kiev junta immediately proceeded with the Civil War against the Russian speaking population of Ukraine and with filing lawsuits against Russia.
The first lawsuit was filed on March 13, 2014. You can read a press release here Ukraine v. Russian Federation 20958/14 13.03.2014
http://www.echr.coe.int/Documents/InterStates_applications_ENG.pdf

Keep in mind, this is the European court that is issuing the decision against Russian government, at the time a member of the European Council, in favor of the three months old unelected military Junta, which had no legitimate representation in any of the EU and UN structures.
On August 9, 2014 Ukraine filed another lawsuit in the ECHR on the total amount of damages more than 1 trillion UAH.
http://www.mnogovbloge.com/?p=5856&lang=en
In January 29, 2015 – Ukraine’s Naftogaz filed a lawsuit with the Stockholm Arbitration Court against Russia’s gas giant Gazprom, demanding over USD 6 billion repayment from the Russian company over a transit gas contract:
http://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2015/01/29/395228/Naftogaz-files-lawsuit-against-Gazprom
In April 2015, Ukraine filed two lawsuits with the European Court of Human Rights against the Russian Federation claiming that “Russia annexed Crimea” and “violated of international commitments by the Russian Federation as they pertain to Ukraine.” Ukraine Files USD 85 Billion Lawsuit Against Russia:
http://uacrisis.org/3789-ukraine-files-usd-85-billion-lawsuit-russia
Ukraine is preparing more lawsuits against Russia to file with the European Court of Human Rights and the International Court of Justice.
Pavlenko, advisor to Ukrainian president Poroshenko said that, “Russia has to pay us for all this carnage and damage”. According to Pavlenko, the conflict is costing Ukraine $5 to $10 million a day.” He failed to mention that this conflict is entirely self-inflicted.
Pavlenko said, “we are putting together a detailed list of properties and businesses damaged and lives lost due to the invasion by Russia. Ukraine will seek compensation from Russia for the damage. Latest estimates show over 18,000 people have been seriously wounded, 7000 are confirmed dead and 2 million are completely displaced refugees”. “Ukraine is also contemplating whether to file an official complaint against Vladimir Putin as a war criminal.”
If Russia ever invaded Ukraine, we would have a democratic government in Kiev, and wouldn’t have a torrent of baseless frivolous lawsuits.
Since there is no proof and no legal basis for the European Union supra-national courts to award anything to Ukraine, the claimant states that, “The minister noted that as a member of the Council of Europe, the Russian Federation is obliged to pay this compensation.”
Ukrainians somehow estimated that the Ukrainian crises has already cost Russia close to $200 billion and the damage may well exceed $400 billion this year alone. That can be Russia’s platform to countersue Ukraine and the EU.
According to Minister Petrenko, Ukraine has so far applied to the European Commission of Human Rights, the UN Human Rights Committee, and the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture. So, we are expecting the torrent of lawsuits coming down the European legal pipes to go on, and not just from Ukraine or former Yukos owners.
Russia is the second country after the US with immigration inflow. Russia also accepts about 5 million migrant workers per year. In 2014-2015 Russia has become a recipient of nearly 1 million refugees from Ukraine.
On October 1, 2007 the Human Rights Watch released a report on Georgian immigrants in Russia. According to the report, about 1 million immigrants from Georgia legally or illegally reside in Russia, and “the vast majority of migrants working in Russia do so without work permits”.
According to Leonid Bershidsky’s article for Bloomber View, Why Russia Still Attracts Immigrants June 15, 2015. Last year, despite the collapse of oil prices and the Ukraine crisis, Russia was the biggest originator of migrant workers’ remittances in Europe with $20.7 billion in remittances.
http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-06-15/why-russia-still-attracts-immigrants
In this flood of people coming to Russia from the former Soviet Republics, and now the independent states, there are about 1 million migrants from Georgia, who are allowed freely to come and work in Russia. The only requirements, they have to have identification papers.
On July 3, 2015, in an expression of obvious gratitude, Georgia filed multiple lawsuits with the European Court of Human Rights against the Russian taxpayers seeking over $70 million for “deportation of illegal migrants” back to Georgia in 2006. http://tass.ru/mezhdunarodnaya-panorama/2092574
These are in addition to the lawsuits that Georgia filed on July 3, 2014 with ECHR.
http://sputnik-georgia.ru/society/20150703/227998624.html
The European Court of Human Rights decided that deporting illegal immigrants and unauthorized workers back to their home countries should cost $70,000 per person.
Russia must use this decision and demand from the European counties to pay $70,000 to every illegal immigrant they deport back to their home countries.
Let’s look at the Georgian policy on illegal immigrants. It’s found in the Library of Congress of all places:
“the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will be responsible for monitoring migrants, reviewing their documents, and deciding on the legality of their stay in Georgia. Upon finding an illegal migrant, the police will extradite him or her. According to the legislation, each extradited person is to be fined, placed in a newly created temporary residence center, and made to leave the country within a month. The extradited person would be banned from returning to Georgia for the ensuing two- to five-year period. The extradition decision can be disputed in a court. (Id.) The migration control authority of the police is also prescribed by the new Law on the Police, which entered into force on January 1, 2014. GEORGIA ONLINE (Jan. 3, 2014) ” http://www.loc.gov/lawweb/servlet/lloc_news?disp3_l205403822_text
Here the files of the European Court for Human Rights decision.
http://hudoc.echr.coe.int/sites/eng/pages/search.aspx?i=001-145546#{“itemid”:[“001-145546”]}
Every human rights organization in Europe that protest deportation of the illegal immigrants should know about this decision. Tell the illegal immigrants all over Europe to demand their $70,000 from European countries.
Russia’s authorities should completely ban the workers’ migration from Georgia, until the time the Georgian authorities to withdraw their complaint from ECHR.
Georgia found a new way to make money, sending millions of illegal migrants to Russia and demanding “moral” compensation for them being deported. Simultaneously, Georgia admits that they have hundreds of military officers fighting on the side of the Kiev Junta against the Russian population of Ukraine. http://sputnik-georgia.ru/world/20150702/227985120.html
The actions of the ECHR go against the founding principles of the Council of Europe as stated in the STATUTE OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE London, 5.V.1949.
a. The decisions of the ECHR go against the Chapter I – Aim of the Council of Europe, Article 1 as stated “a. The aim of the Council of Europe is to achieve a greater unity between its members for the purpose of safeguarding and realizing the ideals and principles which are their common heritage and facilitating their economic and social progress.”
Instead, the ECHR abusing its power and putting severe rift between people with common heritage.
b. The decisions of the ECHR go against the Chapter I Aim of the Council of Europe. Article 1 as stated “d. Matters relating to national defense do not fall within the scope of the Council of Europe.”
c. The decisions of the ECHR go against the Chapter II, Membership, Article 3, as stated “Every member of the Council of Europe must accept the principles of the rule of law…” Kiev military junta came to power as a result of the violent overthrowing of the democratically elected president in violation of the Constitution of Ukraine.
Historically, several states were suspended from the Assembly:
— Greece, following the installation of the Colonels’ military dictatorship in 1967;
— Turkey, following the military coup of 1980;
Ukraine was not suspended following the military coup of 2014 and the installation of the Junta. Not suspending Ukraine after a violent government overthrow has been a direct violation of the European Council founding principles and historical precedents. Instead, it was Russia that was suspended in April 2014.
d. By unleashing “war on terror” directed against the Russian speaking population, Ukraine being a member of the European Council violated the Article 3 as stated “Every member of the Council of Europe must accept the principles of the rule of law and of the enjoyment by all persons within its jurisdiction of human rights and fundamental freedoms, and collaborate sincerely and effectively in the realization of the aim of the Council as specified in Chapter I.” Not all of the persons of the Russian speaking population of Ukraine enjoy the human rights and fundamental freedoms within the jurisdiction of the Kiev Junta.
On November 16, 2014 Ukraine scraped Human Rights Treaty for Eastern Ukraine region: http://rt.com/news/205919-ukraine-bockade-rebel-areas/
On March 5, 2014 The Russian parliament filed an official request with the Council of Europe’s constitutional experts, the Venice Commission, to assess the legality of the Ukrainian coup. http://tass.ru/en/world/722272
Russia’s request was ignored. Instead, on April 10, 2014 Resolution 1990 (2014) from the Council of Europe suspended Russian membership.
And on April 15, 2014 the Venice Commission’s delegation composed of Ms. Kiener (Switzerland), Ms. Suchocka (Poland), Mr. Papuashvili (Georgia) and Mr. Scholsem (Belgium), accompanied by an expert of the Directorate General on Democracy of the Council of Europe, Mr. Marcou (France), and the Secretary of the Venice Commission, Mr. Markert, had a meeting with the Special Commission of the Verkhovna Rada for the preparation of amendments to the Constitution of Ukraine.
Other technical problems with the ECHR decisions are as follow:
a. Individuals and groups alleging violations of human rights provisions are required to first exhaust domestic remedies before a case can be considered admissible by a European tribunal.
b. “the Court is in principle not empowered to suggest which specific individual or collective measures states should take to implement the judgments15 (with the exception of the just satisfaction), nor to annul, repeal or modify statutory provisions or individual decisions taken by administrative, judicial or other authorities.”
https://www.icl-journal.com/download/f1527ce403500a9ec58b8269a9a91471/ICL_Thesis_Vol_7_3_13.pdf
Kiev authorities demand the full restoration of the Ukrainian economy back to the way it was at the time Junta came to power. “Articles 46-1 and 1 of the Convention, and originates from public international law implies for the state an obligation to remedy the structural problems identified by the Court, in order to comply with these obligations in good faith”.
With respect to the obligation to remedy structural problems with the Ukraine economy, there is no doubt that Russia would have to remove the Kiev Junta and to restore the legitimate government of Ukraine back. Many members of the legitimate Ukrainian government were killed by the Junta. The government in exile is located in Russia.
c. Another crucial point of ECHR procedures is that “as expressed in the case Marckx v Belgium, States are not required to remedy the situation existing prior to the judgment.”
In contrast, the European Court of Justice of the European Union (EU) serves a very different function. “The function of the Court of Justice, however, is not to arbitrate complaints brought by individuals against member States, but to ensure that the interpretation and application of European Union Law is observed by EU members.”
Need I remind you, that Russia is not an EU member?
“Thus, the Court of Justice has jurisdiction over cases brought by a member State against another member State for treaty infringement, by a European Community institution against a State and by individual citizens or organizations against European Community institutions. The Court of Justice does not have jurisdiction over the appeals of national court decisions” Enforcement Mechanisms in the European Human Rights System http://www.stopvaw.org/enforcement_mechanisms_in_the_european_human_rights_system
On Friday July 3, 2015 at the meeting of the country’s Security Council, president Putin said that Russia “cannot expect a change in the hostile policies of some of our geopolitical opponents in the immediate future.” He didn’t elaborate what countries he was referring to.
“The reasons for pressuring Russia are clear: the country is conducting an independent policy and doesn’t trade its sovereignty. This is not to everyone’s liking, but it can’t be any other way,” he said.
http://rt.com/news/271564-putin-west-russia-pressure/
This was the first time ever, the Russia’s president used words “geopolitical opponents” instead of his usual “our partners.” The fact is that the EU’s declaration of the war against Russia absolves and releases Russian taxpayers from any obligations, real or imaginary.
The war between Europe and Russia is not over yet. Why is it Europe self-declared itself a winner in a war that Europe has started? On what pretext is Europe imposing on Russian taxpayers insurmountable financial claims?
The US and EU have NATO armies on Russia’s borders pointing guns, tanks, nuclear missiles at Russia’s cities and simultaneously demanding trillions of dollars in ransom. The US and EU are conducting state-on-state financial terrorism, since these actions inspire to create fear in people.
The exposure of Russian taxpayers to these frivolous lawsuits is enormous. If Russia pays just one dollar to any of these money extortionists, Russian taxpayers will be on the hook of paying trillions of dollars to anyone in the world filing lawsuits against Russia in European courts.
Of course two can play this legal game. Russia should sue the EU, US and Ukraine for the unconstitutional bloody coup d’état, for the economic losses caused by the severance of trade ties done by Ukraine, for the economic losses due to sanctions, for NATO build up on Russia’s borders, for causing a dramatic increase in Russia’s military spending, for the refusal of Kiev junta to implement Minsk II peace agreement, for the millions of refugees that Russia is currently hosting, and for the collapse of Russian national currency that caused a 22% in death rate increase at the beginning of 2015. I believe that the death rate increase in Russia was due to people being upset about losing their savings. By Ukraine’s own observers, financial losses of Russia due to the Western backed coup in Ukrainian will rise over $400 billion at the end of this year.
This money should be recovered from the US and EU and all the other backers of the Ukrainian coup.
Russia should also sue Western media outlets for the vicious anti-Russian campaigns that started with the Olympics in Sochi, that are deeply offensive to every Russian person and cause loss of enjoyment. Russia should sue every Western official, and every American senator who opened their fat mouth and called to “kill more Russians,” like the US Army General Robert H. Scales http://rt.com/politics/240149-russia-general-us-probe/
Russia should sue countries that have introduced sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine crisis: EU, US, Australia, Canada, Albania, Iceland, Montenegro, Norway, Ukraine, Switzerland, Japan.
However, there are no independent legal platforms anywhere in the world that Russia could use, considering that Russia is banned from the representing itself in the Western courts.
“How does Russia respond?” asks the old good Russian newspaper Pravda.
” With dignity, of course. However, it is only Russia that can hear its own explanations and arguments. All other countries either do not hear or do not want to hear them. Some others act proceeding from the concept of “revolutionary expediency” as Washington prescribed. – See more at: http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/03-07-2015/131204-russia_west_third_world_war-0/
Today, we see the bizarre one way street concerning Russia’s participation in European organizations. Europe states that Russia has NO RIGHTS, only responsibilities. Russia’s representatives and PMs are not allowed to participate in the European Security Council meetings and in OSCE meetings. The gag orders are placed on Russia’s taxpayers. The Russian people’s national interests are being completely dismissed and are not allowed to be expressed. Simultaneously, Russia’s international responsibilities are being artificially heightened to an unprecedented level. Russia is being demanded to forfeit all Russia’s national and domestic laws in favor of the European laws and regulations that Russia has never ratified and never agreed to, like the European Energy Treaty.
The Russian Federation ratified the European Convention on Human Rights in May 1998. The first judgment against Russia came in 2002, after Vladimir Putin has become Russia’s president.
In 2014 the ECHR has decided on 15792 complaints against Russian taxpayers. It delivered 129 judgments (concerning 218 applications), 122 of which found at least one violation of the European Convention on Human Rights. For the first 6 months of the 2015 ECHR has already accepted 14199 complaints against the Russia’s taxpayers. http://www.echr.coe.int/Documents/CP_Russia_ENG.pdf
Why doesn’t the ECHR consider the economic sanctions imposed on the Russian people, a vicious mass media campaign demonizing Russia, its people, and its history, and the NATO build up on the Russia’s borders as violations of the Human Rights of the people in Russia?
The Court’s budget for 2015 amounts to approximately 69 million euros. That budget is financed by contributions from the 47 member States of the Council of Europe. The European Court of Human Rights is a branch of the Council of Europe. That’s why the ECHR doesn’t see anything wrong when it comes to the European Union’s actions against people living in Russia.
To top off this madness, the 2015 contribution of Russia to the Council of Europe EUR 306 million budget is EUR 32,805,83!
Russia paid its dues to the Council of Europe, while no longer being a member of the Council of Europe. Russia was suspended from the Council of Europe in April 2014, when Russia’s delegation was suspended from the council’s parliamentary assembly. The assembly also terminated Russia’s right to participate in election observation missions and other committees.
In January 2015, the Council of Europe suspended Russia’s voting rights. The ban was imposed on Russia’s right to vote at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
Since Russia is being excluded as a member of the Council of Europe, it also should mean that Russia automatically stops being a signee to the European Court of Human Rights agreements and any other EU based agreements.
No one person and no one country should bear responsibilities without having any rights.
Remember Taxation without Representation?
This is worse. This is a war time tribunal over people whose tongues are cut out. This is a tribunal with a Investigator, Police Chief, Sheriff, Judge, Executioner, and the editor of a local newspaper being one and the same person. The one person, who is the sole beneficiary of the trial.
The EU Imposes the responsibilities, duties, court orders, and fines on the Russian nation while taking away its rights and venues to defend itself. The pathetic little man that is currently occupying the US presidential office compares the Russian people to a virus. The NATO nuts call to nuke Russians. The neo-Nazis in Ukraine call Russian citizens of Ukraine “Colorado beetles” and burn people alive for speaking the Russian language.
Enough is enough!
Despite what the European Court of Human Rights mistakenly believes, tax haven shell companies and offshore accounts don’t have human rights. Bloody fascists juntas, like the one in Kiev, don’t have human rights. Neo-Nazi death battalions, like those killing people in Eastern Ukraine, don’t have human rights.
Russian taxpayers have human rights, every one of them.
These legal assaults are done with the task to disrupt Russia’s legal, financial, and constitutional systems and to cause the collapse of the society, like it was done in Ukraine. Remember, how Soros funded EuroMaidanSOS coordinated with over 400 lawyers to flood the Ukrainian criminal and civil court systems with approximately 5000 complaints at the days of bloody military junta uprising in December 2014 -January 2015?
To repeal these attacks, Russia’s Parliament should declare the EU and its institutions to be “geopolitical opponents” and any agreements with them to be unconstitutional. Any trade agreements with the European countries should be done outside of the EU framework.
The EU and its institutions are on their way out. It’s only a matter of time before the EU collapses.
After 400 years of the Russian dream to become an equal part of Europe is dead. Russians paid for it in huge territorial loses, millions perished in wars facilitated by Europe, and trillions in stolen treasures. European rulers relentlessly pushed to colonize Russia, not to make it a partner. Now Russia’s government should abandon the mindset of pathological need for the European Union.
Russia’s government and its elite have to finally realize, what everyone knows by now, that the EU no longer wishes to have diplomatic relationship and to do business with Russia. We see how every cultural agreement, every trade deal is being used as a political tool to cut Russia off, to inflict a wound on Russia, to make the Russian people bleed. Russian government and its business leaders have to do everything in their power to untangle themselves from all trade deals and political agreements with the West. Otherwise, they are allowing the West to put unfair and undue harm onto Russian people. To allow this to go on is a national treason
“Russia’s government and its elite have to finally realize…”
I first read it as: Russia’s government and its elite have to finally seize…
and I thought it was going to go on with a list of things Russia would take over one after the other, including western agents to kick them out.
Russia shouldn’t be funding and paying taxes on organizations that have kicked it out and acted unfairly against it either: “Russia paid its dues to the Council of Europe, while no longer being a member of the Council of Europe. Russia was suspended from the Council of Europe in April 2014”

Thanks for this analysis. Useful data.
One of the recent most successful attacks took place in December 2014 in Ukraine, when a Soros funded EuroMaidanSOS coordinated with over 400 lawyers to flood the Ukrainian criminal and civil court systems with approximately 5000 complaints, crippling it at a time when the foreign organized violent coup against the democratically elected government of Ukraine was underway. The lawsuits filed in local and superior courts complained about everything from human rights violation, to a poor quality of food in state prisons, to the mismanagement of business contracts by the government.
You probably meant Dec., 2013. Also it’s important to remember that Soros is not American or European, he’s Israeli, and it’s Israeli/ziofascist interests he acts in. So when one sees the hand of Soros involved in something, it’s certain that hand is acting in zionist/Israeli interests. I suspect this sort of corruption of legal systems and spamming phony lawsuits is derived from, and expands upon, zionist influence peddling tricks practiced by the various Israel lobbies and their networks of sayanim. It has the same sort of S.W.A.R.M.ing stink about it.
Soros is Hungarian and American, not Israeli.
Though, he may have an Israeli passport tucked up his big fat butt.
And he is one of the most evil MF’ers on the planet.
Power and wealth has warped him. I remember him from many decades ago when he had clear analytical ideas which over time warped into satanic programs making the world worse for everyone he touches with his ideas and money.
The truly evil core of what we call zionists is not in Israel at all I think. It is probably divided between New York, Washington, London, Russia and Ukraine, with israel as vacation spot. Netanyahu is just a mid level puppet.
Correction
Soros is a Jewish zionist with an Israeli passport. This, for all practical purposes makes him an Israeli. Where he was born, where he has his mansions and holding, whatever other passports he has acquired, are secondary to his zionism. It’s interesting you want to hide his Israeli identity.
The use of corrupt Western ‘legal’ systems to attack your enemies is a favourite Zionazi tactic known as ‘lawfare’. It is being used in the West at present to outlaw the BDS movement against the Zionazi racist state. Typical of the type of ‘justice’ it delivers are massive, tens of millions of dollars, judgments against the Palestinians for the death of Jewish children killed in Israel, delivered by US courts, while the hundreds of times greater number of Palestinian children murdered by Jews receive NOTHING. The punitive damages are then extracted from the meagre resources of the Palestinians. Evil doesn’t do it justice. Hatred plus unbridled greed just about sums them up.
This is still related to the Greeks from
Dr Paul Craig Roberts: Grexit Can Prevent WW3
———————————————-
In addition to discussing facts not
addressed by the Mainstream Media
about the current situation in Greece,
Dr Paul Craig Roberts also describes
the mechanisms by which the gold
market, which has been frozen for
the duration of this Greek tribulation,
will finally begin to reflect the true
value of bullion, as opposed to the
imaginary price speculation, based
on gold production.
The true value of gold is being held
down and will continue to be artificially
low until it becomes crystal clear that
the putative holders of gold deposits
admit that they cannot deliver the
bullion that is being requested of
them.
On that day, the price of gold will
skyrocket.
As for Greece, this is what Dr. Roberts
has to say:
Video: (19 minutes)
Dr Paul Craig Roberts: Grexit Can Prevent WW3
http://www.ForbiddenKnowledgeTV.com/page/27369.html
“The Greek government have before
them the unique opportunity to prevent
World War III: all the Greek government
needs to do and Greek people will get
behind the government is to default on
the loans, resign from the EU and from
NATO and accept the deal that the Russians
offered them. This would begin the
unraveling of NATO very quickly.
“Italy and Spain would follow, so southern
Europe would desert NATO and so would
Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic.
NATO, of course is the mechanism that
Washington uses to cause conflict with
Russia so, as the EU and NATO unravel,
the ability of Washington to produce this
conflict disappears. Now, the reason that
the situation has not been resolved [is]…
because the the Greek people lacked the
judgment to give the current government
enough electoral support that it would be
taken seriously by the Germans the EU
commissioner, European Central bank and
the IMF…
“…when the Greek people say. ‘We want
to stay in the EU,’ they destroyed negotiating
power other governments [yet,]…the Greek
government understands that what is being
imposed on Greece is not workable you
simply cannot pay debts when austerity is
driving down the economy.”
So desperate is the West …Trying every single dirty trick to damage Russia..
Why do they want war so badly? they really think they are going to win?….
The fact is… Russia is in a really hard position. She must keep the trust in the Eurasian project and defend it at any cost. The China-Russia double Helix must endure the future ISIS offensive, the future gas pipe and financial offensive, and the cultural offensive. Hollywood its going to become a more vicious weapon, the military will try everything to be more advance, and it will become a huge PMC controlling global irregular armies, supported by NATO forces. To make it weaker is also a dangerous game, because it means leading the anglozionist to a arms race they can`t win.
Russia need to use its brains and its heart to the maximum, because she knows that to destroy the anglozionist empire, she must sacrifice herself. She only needs more time to be stronger. I really hope they can win this without total nuclear annihilation, because earth is already dying and human life is losing its worth…
Scott,
Thank you for telling us about this. Unreal. Alice in Wonderland.
Scott,
Good information.
Russia has had a choice for a long time, but some didn’t want to admit it. Russia can be a junior partner of the West, but emphasize the junior. This means the “correct” leaders would be people like Khodorkovsky, Kasparov, and Chubais. The fact that many in Russia have been convincing themselves that they can be an equal is one of those hard-to-understand mysteries from the East. Is Nigeria an equal? How about Brazil? Besides, equality is earned through things like industrial production, high-tech, media and soft power, and financial networks. Russia is rather weak on these, so why would you expect someone in an American think tank to consider Russia an equal?
So, in a way, it is kind of the EU to help Russia see more clearly their choice.
100% agree with you Paul II, but there are some Russians that have delusions of greatness, that is the problem. the driven force that keep Putin-Russia alive is China, period. If China arrives an agreement with USA, Putin is over
The reverse is true as well.Hence the importance of friendship between Russia and China.And the importance to the Empire and their minions to undermine it.Take yourself for instance.I’m sure you realize that without Russia’s support China has no protection from the Empire, and is the next on the list to be destroyed.There is no such thing as an “agreement” with the US.You are stooge or don’t exist.That is China’s stark choice.On her feet beside Russia or on her knees before the US, is the only offer on the table.Hopefully China isn’t fond of sore knees.
Uncle Bob 1,
“China ………and is the next on the list to be destroyed.There is no such thing as an “agreement” with the US.You are stooge or don’t exist.”
I agree with you but with one correction, for Washington if a country is a stooge doesn’t exist, they only respect power, period.
About China-Russia “friendship”, there is not friendship, there is interest and necessity, is a fact that between 1972 and 2003, China was more interested in their relationship with USA than Russia, sometimes showing open hostility to the soviet union as the Vietnam -China war or border clashes.
China still need Russia military technology, in 10-20 years they will achieve parity and then…..who knows!
Russia without a break is have been loosing since the fall of the Soviet Union, they lost Eastern Europe, 13 of the soviet republics and a bunch of industrial assets and military secrets.
They used to have 4 full Aircraft Carriers and 4 light AC like the Mistral,now they have just one, can you dig it?
We’ll see after 10-20 years.But until then if China wants to survive as a free state (and a whole state) she will be “friends” with Russia.I think China is smart enough to realize that (and does).
Bob, China and Russia must aim for permanent friendship, with one another and any other state or population or individuals that seeks friendship. The age of human aggression and belligerence, of domination and submission, and of ‘Full Spectrum Dominance’ must be finished, or humanity is finished. Not only are the weapons available genocidal, but humanity faces ecological threats that require total global co-operation and co-ordination. That the Pope has nailed his colours to that mast shows that he could be a useful ally, and I hope Putin and Xi cultivate that possible alliance.
Western hatred of China, now not just undisguised but typically hysterical and deranged (the unhidden joy of Western propagandists at the Chinese stockmarket shake-out, the naked, but once again deluded, delight at the ‘mere Asiatics’ getting their comeuppance and the demented hope, yet again, that this would lead to China ‘collapsing’ has been nauseating)is even greater than the hatred of any other country, because it is based on fear. Stomach-gripping fear that the 500 year reign of terror of ‘God’s Chosen’ Western overlords, the standard-bearers of that perfection of human achievement, Judeo-Christian civilization, may be over, has driven all the little propagandists and Empire-loyalists quite mad. India, too, representing a great, millennial, non-Western civilization, will be targeted as soon as it proves less than totally subservient. I expect Modi knows that. After all a Hindu chauvinist must, surely, understand from the dreadful history of English exploitation in the sub-continent, just how deep is Western contempt and hatred for the Global Others.
Obi-Juan,
Not the illusions of greatness but the desire to be treated equally. Big difference.
There is not equals, there who has power those who has not.
Russians since the time of Gorbachev-Yeltsin choose to not.
Regarding Yukos final judgment, and especially pages 409 -412 thereof.
In addition to considering the matter in the interest of those 3 foreign registered enterprises, it is prudent for an appropriate E / HR Court (‘the Court’) to entertain this from the perspective of people of Russia as well
Initially, the people had the company and the oil, since all property was public property.
They received 160 mil usd loan and 350 mil usd investment to depart with the company- (later valued at 50 bln usd)– as well as with their oil, the latter worth over 27 bln (as 27 bln is the tax bill). Some proportion of those 27 bln was returned back to the people in taxes, but likely only in part.
Than something happened involving various persons and enterprises, including company sale for some 9 bln usd in contested circumstances; but none of this is of any relevance for us here for the purposes of this presentation.
And now in the end, the people are told to pay up 50 bln usd –as it their and not their government money. This surely seems like being robbed (again), and the Court shall do their utmost to protect legitimate rights of those people.
I am confident they are hard at work, 24/7, at this important task.
As long as Russia “accepts” that these swine have any say in Russian affairs this type of thing will continue over and over.I don’t know whether to laugh or cry over the stupidity of it all.The simplest and easy answer is just to announce that only Russian courts have any jurisdiction on any of those matters.And that no others will be accepted ,period.But for some ridiculously foolish reason Russia lets them continue trolling them.A weak Russia is a useless Russia.Until Russia understands that and acts accordingly we will keep seeing this bullying.I keep hoping that one day they will stop showing weakness,but so far I’m constantly disappointed with that hope.Maybe the next government will learn not to make the mistakes this one does,we’ll see.
Problem is, as already seen last week, it is not enough for Russia to say they have no jurisdiction. That did not stop several countries from “arresting” all Russian properties, did it?
Businesses were just sent questionnaires asking how much Russian State funds or property they were holding. But bank accounts got actually frozen, including in diplomatic missions. You can’t really grab the money of another country’s embassy, but they tried. Actually physically they can, and how they be stopped?
We were never told what Russia said, but they did at least undo this next day. Whatever it was, they should start saying it more often.
“Problem is, as already seen last week, it is not enough for Russia to say they have no jurisdiction. That did not stop several countries from “arresting” all Russian properties, did it?”
You announce that is theft against the Russian people.File charges in a Russian court on those that ordered those “arrests” (yes I mean the foreign officials).And in the meantime “arrest” an equal amount of foreign owned property in Russia (including loan payments that might be going to be send to that country).The ways to stop them are many.Its the will to use them that seems lacking.
UB 1,
I sort of agree with you, but the problem is as follows:
The scum do not even try to take any legal actions in Russia because they would be thrown out instantly.
So, as I see it the problem is as follows: if any Russian company incorporates it’s divisions, offices, etc… in any country they want to do business in, that entity falls under the jurisdiction of that country.
Now a side step: few years back Michael Crichton wrote a book called “Rising Sun”, but do not watch the movie read the book. He always researched the subject, and in one of his footnotes he said that 3/4 of all the lawyers in the world reside in the States. My question is how many (few) of them are employed? Hence the US has a whole army of hungry, unemployed lawyers to do what the subject of this article is talking about. They’ll do it for peanuts.
This is a multi-pronged attack by people who do not expect Russia to pay anything voluntarily. It is intended first to ruin Russia’s reputation with those countries (like Greece) who might be considering joining the Eurasian Economic Union. Western financial interests would dearly love to see that organization die on the vine. Same for the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which competes with the IMF. Western financial interests MUST remain in charge of all world finance.
Second, this blizzard of law suits allows for a pileup of judgements against Russia with two secondary objectives: to keep Russia distracted in the courts and possibly miss some deadlines that will result in judgements, and to give Western bottom feeders legal “cover” to start seizing anything that looks Russian, including, say, Gazprom’s pipelines. Here is a way to allow the EU to claim it “owns” pipelines even outside of EU territory. Of course, they may not want to take title to any pipelines in Ukraine; after 20 years of deferred maintenance and more recently bombings, those pipes are more expensive than they are worth.
Third, if Russia acts to protect its assets it will immediately justify all the Russophobes who claim it is trying to take over the world. Even if Russia dismisses the courts as not having jurisdiction, everybody will point fingers and say Russia is a rogue nation that disregards rule of law. These court actions are an attempt to spread the Western “shunning” of Russia to other countries in other continents.
This is part of the war against Russia and anybody else who wants to start a new world order based on other currencies than the euro and the dollar. USA invaded Iraq after Hussein threatened to start a gold-based currency, and we are threatening Iran partly because they want to sell oil for gold, not dollars. What nerve! Russia and China are also threatening the current world order. China is too big for us at the moment, but Russia is a handy target and economically small enough for the banks and Western governments to attack.
I hope and pray the Russian government does the right thing. Whatever that is. Because it will affect not only Russia but us small people who don’t want to see this war going on.
Wow, I had no idea the legal assault was on anything like this Kafkaesque Bizarro World scale. Every European Institution is being weaponized, an absurd marriage between Hubris & Hypocrisy. What grotesques will they bring forth?
Europe is finished. Whatever the European Dream was, it cannot survive this level of corruption of its basic institutions. If Russia dropped a new Iron Curtain today, breaking all contact, could they just flip over and go back to normal (whatever that was)? Europe is morphing into a caricature of itself, and I fear once started it may not be able to stop, never mind reverse, the process.
I give the current sequence of developments 3 months until there’s a tipping point. A “nobody-saw-it-coming” event that everyone sees once it’s happened.
Don’t know if I can hold my breath longer than that.
Erebus, at Grift, the supposed ‘environmental’ blog, before I was banned for Thought Crime, one contributor alerted me to the existence of Wetiko disease, a term coined by Native Americans to describe the psychopathic behaviour, aggression and genocidal murderousness of the European invaders. One psychologist has labeled the condition ‘malignant egophrenia’. The US ruling elite have been spreading this psychic disease throughout the world, under the Orwellian description of ‘Western Moral Values’ ever since 1776. The stooge and compradore elites in Europe have succumbed en masse to this malignancy, as, of course, have Fifth Columnists inside Russia and even inside China. I suspect that excising this spiritual cancer from humanity might end up like the proverbial operation-a success, but, regretably, the patient died.
I find it simply amazing (in a bad way),that Russia continues to allow the West to bully them.The largest country in the World.With as many people as the next two most populated countries in Europe “combined”.And the largest nuclear arsenal on earth.And yet she constantly acts as a “weak sister” in World affairs.If you are “Andre the Giant” and a robber attacks you on the street.Both of you unarmed,and no police anywhere.Are you going to start crying and beg for mercy.Or are you going to fight back and knock his head off.Maybe there are some that thing the “begging for mercy” bit will work.But I’m not one of them.Countries,just like people,stand up for themselves and fight.Or bullies push them around and steal their lunch money.After 10,000 years or so of “civilization” that truism shouldn’t have to be explained to anybody anymore.But I’m thinking that the Kremlin needs a refresher course on it.Maybe bring over some “experts” from Donbass to explain what “fight back” means.There is an old saying in the fight game that sums this all up,”everyone has a plan (cunning-plan) until they get hit”.It appears there are a lot more Russian citizens willing to serve Russia than what I see out of many of the leaders, who’s job it is to serve Russia.Maybe something should be done about that,and quick.
You have a great plan of action. Blow up the world. Kill everyone.
Anonymous, where have you been hiding?
You see the solution with great clarity.
Total destruction of everything.
Clever.
It appears I pushed the “post” before filling in the name portion,sorry about that.An “edit” ability might be a useful function to have.Having said that I’ll now address your statement.
It was total hasbara,and needs a reply.Nowhere in my comment did I mention to,” blow up the world. Kill everyone” or “Total destruction of everything”.That is your interpretation of self-defense.And a “clever” way to try to discredit defense against the empire.The standard “empire supporter argument”.If people resist the “empire” they want to “blow up the world”. And your way is why we see this crisis today.Yanukovich accepted your way,and Ukraine lost its “lunch money”.Donbass didn’t accept your way.They are fighting for their freedom.People have a choice in this world,fight for your rights and freedom,or lose them.That has been the same choice from since humankind first formed civilizations.And will always be the choice.Your choice is to kneel,mine is to fight.
Putin is a Cold War, warrior, former KGB and a right smart guy. There are clearly, in my mind, MUCH that we don’t know about as to the back room discussions, deals, leverage, that Putin has had, applies and kept in reserve. He will not display his hand all at once. Deception is the art, the ART of war. To defeat your enemy without shedding YOUR blood is an effective and productive strategy.
I suspect that those who might perceive Russia as weak for not going gung ho, in response to Western aggression, likely understand that there is a game afoot that they can’t possibly realize the scope and depth that it takes.
That goes for the US and NATO as well.
For instance, there is rumor that Russia has proof that 911 WAS an inside job. Do you really think that intelligence gathering stopped when the Cold War ended? Surely you know about THESE guys?
http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/fiveisraelis.html
VVP quite possibly planned for many scenarios and knows what needs to be done and when. He already warned the empire several times not to go too far.
The empire knows that he has an enormous arsenal of possibilities at hand, political, financial, economical, tactical, etc. Even when things get tough and rough choices like a NEMP can bring the message in a clear manner without any immediate loss of life or material destruction, besides a whole lot of electronics and electrics of course… ;)
Imagine any ‘modern’ western country being without any electrical power, that would literally as well as figuratively be ‘lights out’.
Who chairs and sits in judgment at these EU committees and courts? The Mad Hatter?
exactly right..very many thanks Scott.
I had thought Rus was going to do something via the WTO though eg re illegal sanctions but not sure how that is progressing re ……..and also persue legal actions of war criminals via the “white book” list of war crimes, but no recent news on that either-if that does procede, does that mean Rus admits even further to EU legal jurisdiction over them? Has EU and USA successfully put Rus in this quandary of wanting to work successfully with Europe but actually cannot?
Recent case of Finland only proves the point-insincere “apologies” from the Finnish President re banning of attendance by Rus participants in Helsinki OSCE due to EU sanctions list but still wishing for happy and workable relations with Rus……..note Duma is getting increasingly fed up with this duplicity……….
“note Duma is getting increasingly fed up with this duplicity”
Then they need to “do something about it”. I see statements like that all the time and they end up doing nothing.Its getting truly embarrassing that they do nothing.It could be getting to a time for a government that “does” do something about it. More than just “talk” about doing something about it.
Very interesting. A totally overlooked aspect. And so obvious. Fraudulent banking & legal trickery go hand in hand. Naturally. I hope this post gets cross-linked and re-posted all over the net.
Just think, folks, if Russia where inside the borders of the Empire of chaos it would have been crushed a long time ago. But thanks to the unfathomable design of existence, the situation presents itself slightly different. And Russia still stands a chance.
Man-thing vic nuland said it best,altogether now,”phuque cue ee eugh”.and the whores you rode in on.
the real question is where does it all begin and where in the hell does it end, not even Houdini could get out of this one, it might just be possible if the rest of EUROPE breaks away from the influence of America and does what they are supposed to do, and then and only then we might just get on the path to peace.
Excellent piece — thank you, Scott. The only needed corrections concern the years indicated (subtract them by one).
To put this all-out lawlessness and vileness into perspective:
The difference between fascism and bourgeois (“liberal”) democracy used to be that whereas the former amounts to coercion accompanied by deception, it’s the reverse which applies to the latter. Scott’s piece above shows eloquently that, at bottom, the difference is a matter of the determination, militancy, and resolve of Western imperialist parasitism in view of worsening systemic failure. Given 30 odd years of neoliberal development of capitalism, bourgeois democracy and, most notably, bourgeois legality have become threadbare, especially with the onset of the terminal, financial crisis. Parliamentary democracy has always been a con trick, sure, but nowadays the banks and the big corporations no longer pretend to be committed to it even the slightest; TTIP and all the anti-Russian bogus lawsuits being clear cases in point. Just like in the 19th and early 20th centuries, spying, lawlessness, perpetual wars, and brutal austerity have become capitalism’s universal norm. The prospect of looting Russia and China to death is the one and only “feasible” option available in these circumstances.
Nussiminen, I believe you’re quite correct. The insanely reckless aggression of the Western pathocracy towards China, Russia, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria etc, is certainly sign of a group psychosis driven by extreme fear. The global parasite oligarchy know that the neo-liberal capitalist system has reached an inescapable cul-de-sac. Too much debt, too much inequality, too much financialised rentier parasitism for the system to be sustained much longer, but no exit, because these are all inherent features of Free Market capitalism. Interest rates cannot be raised,because the level of debt is just too high. And perpetual low interest rates mean ever greater debt and ever greater speculative bubbles.
The serfs have been exploited to the point of revolt. The police death-squads terrorising the inner-city sacrifice zones in the USA are breeding bitter hatred and resentment. The US is attacking one country after another, and its Special Forces death-squads operated in over 100 countries last year. Western publics, brainwashed from birth by the entirely propagandistic and hate-mongering ‘Free Press’ are being prepared for war with ‘evil Putin’, or China, ‘expanding’ into its own territorial waters. The prospect of thermo-nuclear war is greater now than in 1962, because the aggressors now are utterly insane, whereas Kennedy and Krushchev were at least human.
One factor sometimes neglected is that the ecological crisis of crises that Pope Francis accurately observed was turning the planet into a ‘pile of filth’, cannot be addressed while the USA remains global hegemon. The decarbonisation required to avert cataclysmic climate destabilisation cannot happen while the value of fossil fuel assets on the accounts of Western capitalist corporations, amounting to tens of trillions, underpin the stock-markets of the West. Moreover, the US petro-dollar, the trade in which establishes it as the de facto global reserve currency, is one of the USA’s remaining strengths in the world, along with its hugely hypertrophied military death-machine. No petro-dollar, no ‘Exceptionalism’. With no future to offer its increasingly impoverished lower 90%, the US elite are turning to the oldest trick in the book-creating enemies, abroad and at home, to divert the proles and prepare them for war.
“Western pathocracy — absolutely brilliant, Mulga!
It’s plain to see that especially the US Neocons, in terms of pathocracy, have reached such a level of degeneracy and insanity that killing off the whole planet except their useless selves is entirely justified, even imperative. Ergo: Parasitism breeds degeneration all along the line.
Nussiminem, I have long believed that the Western pathocrats (kakistocracy is just as descriptive-the rule of the worst in society)are intent on massive genocide. It does not make any sense to be as insanely aggressive as they have been, now attacking the two powers that can annihilate them with relentless belligerence, and so determined to prevent any co-ordinated global action to remedy the ecological catastrophe, unless you think that you can somehow escape the coming Apocalypse. Of course, not a few may be religious lunatics actively working to bring about just this cataclysm, for perverted ‘religious’ reasons (one of the factors behind Gorbachev’s surrender was the real belief in the USSR that many members of the Reagan regime were actively working for nuclear war to bring about the End Times)but most, I assume, think that their wealth will somehow protect them from the disaster, while billions of ‘useless eaters’ untermenschen that they fear and despise will disappear. Eugenics has long been an obsession of Western elites, particularly in the USA. If this not be so (and the extremity of the Evil involved is one reason that I do believe it not just possible, but likely)then you must come to the conclusion that the ruling Western elites are simply suicidal.
” In regard to the Energy Charter Treaty 1994 (ECT), the EU Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) has ordered Russia to pay $50.08bn to the majority shareholders in Yukos Oil Company. The final award decision was issued on July 18, 2014 after the declaration of war on Russia by the EU and US. ”
———————————————————————————————————–
Do not forget what the Yukos case is all about!
When Khodorkovsky was arrested back in 2003. he publicly announced this :
—————————————————————————————————————-
Control of Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s shares in the Russian oil giant Yukos have passed to renowned banker Jacob Rothschild, under a deal they concluded prior to Mr. Khodorkovsky’s arrest, the Sunday Times reported.
Voting rights to the shares passed to Mr. Rothschild, 67, under a “previously unknown arrangement” designed to take effect in the event that Mr. Khodorkovsky could no longer “act as a beneficiary” of the shares, it said.
From the figures reported in the Sunday Times, it appeared Mr. Rothschild had received control of all Mr. Khodorkovsky’s shares.
The two have known each other for years “through their mutual love of the arts” and their positions as directors of the Open Russia Foundation, Yukos’ philanthropic branch, it said.
http://www.rense.com/general44/ask.htm
——————————————————————————————————————–
This was the first time EVER that Rothschild name was mentioned in big media. This is the key of understanding why Putin is so much hated by the Western media.
Israel is a private state of Rothschild family!
Rothschild family according to some sources was the main engine behind the overthrow of Romanov dynasty in 1917. These voltures have always trying to conquer Russia and to plunder all of its vast natural resources.
The Yukos key is the key of understanding whom exactly Russia is facing: its archenemy, the Rothschild family.
Soros is a small player, it is Rothschilds who are behind the “Аnglo-Zionist empire”.
Precisely because of this fact, Putin is the most revolutionary person in the world today.
Never forget this.
I wonder how many lawsuits the EU and the Empire of Chaos have against Israel?
Zero ?. Am I close with the number?
These tribal parasites are notorious for filing law suits and meddling in other nations’ affairs.
However, they don’t count with the most important fact. God is on the side of Russia.

A good informative article joining those elusive dots up. The result is jaw dropping to say the least. It is part of a huge tangled web of deceit, skulduggery at the highest levels. Is this message really being received loud & clear in Moscow?
“nobody-saw-it-coming” mentality at work here in Europe. This morning I saw an old clip of Zhirinovsky confronting the Ukrainian elite in 2006. He saw a confrontation between NATO & SCO. It is high time that SCO covers their back, in all areas including their own legal structures.

Thank you Scott,
Lovely Bitter reading. This website is like a school. We learn; that is a necessary thing.
Students would be well advised to reprint the essay above and distribute it as widely as possible.
Also; thank you Dr. Paul Craig Roberts. Grexit can help prevent WW3. All resistance to the Oligarchs is a positive for the freedom, prosperity, and peace, of the Earth’s people.
For the Democratic Republics!

I found another short and pithy analysis of the monster warring with Russia right now. This guy runs a financial blog but is also a poet:
“Great worldly power can at first appear to be awe inspiring, almost beautiful, in its scope. How can we possibly oppose something so majestic, so shocking, so vast in its scope and reach. But as we draw closer, we may at times perceive the smell of decay, and corruption, the rot beneath the appearance of the glamour. And perhaps, drawing close enough, we may even catch a glimpse of the diseased eyes and evil leer behind the mask. But by then, alas, we are his.”
http://jessescrossroadscafe.blogspot.com/2015/07/first-they-come-for-weakest.html
This report brings to mind the old joke “What do you call a hundred thousand lawyers in prison for fraud? A good start ! ”
The West, like any bully picks on a victim they see as too weak to fight them back.Russia should “never” be seen to be that victim. If she allows herself to be seen that way she will always be bullied.
“This was the first time ever, the Russia’s president used words “geopolitical opponents” instead of his usual “our partners.” ”
There was a joke about it on the Russian web. As the joke goes, the change of language is in response to popular demand not to continue with “our western partners” to avoid any misunderstanding on the nature of our relationship in light of the recent gay marriage laws in the USA.
At last someone has dared to put the genocidal abuse of all Russia in plain true words. Scott is right. Russia must turn away from the West.
It is only when the cost to Europe comes out will Europe realise they cut off their own head. It started in the British Parliament in 1814, now owned lock stock and barrel by the US Pentagon in 2015.
The US also does not accept it desperately needs Russia. Without her unique, independent co-operation, the US will loose much of it’s luster, if indeed any is left.
@ Scott,
Thanks, bud.
Lady Justice is being violently raped on the backseat of FUKUS’ wheels, but hey, look over there at the Cartra$$hians!

One of the recent most successful attacks took place in December 2014 in Ukraine, when a Soros funded EuroMaidanSOS coordinated with over 400 lawyers to flood the Ukrainian criminal and civil court systems with approximately 5000 complaints, crippling it at a time when the foreign organized violent coup against the democratically elected government of Ukraine was underway.
I think it was in December 2013 as in 2014 Ukraine was already under junta.
European courts are run by demented wankers, that’s why they are blind.
Another example of the same idiocy is from Ukrainian European-wanabe parliamentarians.
Ukraine’s parliamentarian has proposed to punish for 12 years for the use of the words “Russia” and “Russia” to refer to the territory of the modern Russian Federation in official documents and in the media and on road signs and in advertising. This is stated in the bill, published on the website of the Verkhovna Rada.

“Apparently, Russia can magically turn various ethnic groups into Russians by simply being on this planet.”
I SAW that film! It was by, um, Monty Python, and some alien from outer space was turning all the tennis players into Scotsmen and they all kept marching up to Scotland to play golf, and that was how the alien won the Wimbledon tournament.
I keep thinking Ukraine gets crazier and crazier, and then I realize they are just copying old Monty Python movies.
Hm. If I look at the statistics, countries like Turkey, Ukraine, Rumania, or Italy, also have a lot of pending cases, though it is true Russia has had more convictions. (see http://www.echr.coe.int/Pages/home.aspx?p=reports )
Anyhow, my experience is that anything which is used as a weapon is taken away sooner or later. If SWIFT is used as a weapon, sooner or later you stay out of SWIFT. If Russian membership of the Council of Europe is used as argument to unjustly condemn Russia, then obviously Russia could withdraw from the Council of Europe. Even more so as Russian voting rights in the Council have been withdrawn.
I read in the article above about the Energy Charter Treaty.
Russia never signed any Energy Charter Treaty and i am glad that I read the article again where the author then confirms that fact.
The carter began as a the Charter Protocol.
I researched these issues specifically for my uni papers.
What i discerned was the EU poicies such as the ECT morph over time in a linear fashion and cannot be “undone” by signatories.
This is dangerous and true the Russians/Sovietscorreclty believed it was unconstitutional, as confirmed in the story above.
EU policies and direction typically start as memorandums of understanding for example then become charters then treaties then finally to be implemented without democratic input by the peoples of Europe, they become “packages” which EU member sates are obliged to install without contest.
This is dangerous and true and the Russians/Soviets believed it was unconstitutional, as confirmed in the story above.
What i can confirm is the EU and its non-transaparent institutions are dangerous and most certainly not democratic.

many spelling errors in this article.
Author please revise. It’s painful to read.
I suggest taking advil or possibly alieve they should be able to cure your pain.
Which spelling errors? I copied it over to Thunderbird write box and there were none found, except proper names and one correct alternative spelling (advisor).
Blue, do not mind andrew’s comment. If you check around you will find out that spelling is most common complaint that trolls use.
The problem with Russia is fundamental: it still believes in the moral legitimacy of Western “civilization.”
But anybody with a brain should see clearly that the Western civilization is nothing more than a civilization based upon LIES …. about freedom, demorcracy, human rights, or the rule of law.
As Gandhi replied when asked what he thought of Western civilization: It would be a good idea (i.e. if it existed).
To hell with the West.
May the Westerners all be cast back to the Lake of Fire and burn there forever.
I trust the Russians will treat these acts of war appropriately.
What is the source for the projection of $100T (!) in damage awards by the end of 2015? I have trouble visualizing how that could possibly be true.
So Russia is under attack by the west in the courts and with frivolous lawsuits. The best course is to disengage with the EU slowly and cut them off from participating in any business deals where they can make a lot of money. In other words, hit em in their pocketbooks where they will really feel the pain. No more deals for gas and oil. Redirect all energy sales to the east and jack up prices for EU countries which still want to buy gas and oil parsing sales in auctions with no guarantees of future supplies.
