With Russian military formally invited into the Donbas, this could be the beginning of a peacekeeping force. Russia has stated as I understand it that the Donbas region should remain a part of Ukraine.
Judging from the declarations made by Kiev officials and Poroshenko, the Western and Kiev’s position is that it is Russia that needs to fulfill all the conditions under the Minsk Agreements. In Australia, Poroshenko said that “Russia must abide by a peace plan agreed in Minsk on September 5.”
In particular, clearly well coached by Western PR specialists, Poroshenko then spelled it for the mass audience in several short and simple sentences, even ending with “Very simple”:
“Please stop the fire. Please release the hostages. Please withdraw your troops from my territory. Please close the border. And I promise if you close the border, within one, two, three weeks, we have peace and stability in Ukraine. Very simple.”
The use of the term “hostages” instead of prisoners, detainees, or prisoners of war is very clever. It implies that both Russia and Novorossiya are terrorists who are taking Ukrainian soldiers and members of the right-wing battalions as “hostages.”
The demand also make it seem that it is Russia that is the source of shelling against Donbass, when it is the Kiev regime.
Unfortunately, yes, unfortunately, Moscow (as worded by Putin after his meeting with Hollande at the Vnukovo airport) is matching Poroshenko’s simple talking points only with this one: “As you know, we are supporting territorial integrity of Ukraine.”
Moreover, Kiev’s military spokesman Andriy Lysenko made it clear that the Kiev junta has no intention to withdraw its heavy weapons from its positions around the cities of Donbass for the supposed condition for them is that no single shot be fired for a day: “Once there has been a day without a single shot, it will signal we can start the process of withdrawing heavy weapons.”
So far, as far as Novorossiya is concerned, Putin and the Russian government has abandoned 1) any argument for Novorossiya on the basis of self-determination, 2) an effort to make the case on the basis of human lives and their protection, 3) an argument on the basis of standing up against fascism, 4) an argument about the continued illegitimacy of the Kiev regime, 5) an argument in terms of the national liberation struggle, 6) an argument against NATO expansionism and NATO-sponsored regime change in Ukraine either as aggression or as a threat to Russia’s national security, 6) an argument about the Novorossiya uprising as a democratic, anti-oligarchic revolution for social justice and dignity. Instead, Russia merely appeals to some autonomy rights and to a need to amend Ukraine’s constitution.
While, in the West, the most persuasive and effective argument of the activists that Novorossiya is mainly a struggle with fascism, Russia’s official position is tied to Russia’s insistence on fulfilling the Minsk Deal, which happens to be also the very thing which the West and NATO demands
Waiting for several months after the referenda (modeled on that in Crimea) in Donets and Lugansk on May 11, which Putin urged to be “postponed” (in that case effectively killing them), Putin and the Russian government began making it increasingly clear that the Minsk Agreements, which they do want to be fully implemented, do mean reintegration of Lugansk and Donetsk into Ukraine with the current Banderite and anti-Russian regime in Kiev intact. This position also means that, for Moscow, the referenda of May 11 are treated as politically and legally immaterial. But, at the same time, Moscow did not want to see Donetsk and Lugansk defeated militarily or in an open and direct way for, in that case, things would be too obvious and too bad for Putin’s reputation and legitimacy. To enable this “strategy,” Strelkov was removed, the Minsk Agreements were signed, and Moscow selected new leaders for Donetsk and Lugansk and made the republics run “local elections,” as Moscow now calls them, in which other candidates were barred from running (Gubarev, the communists, Batman, etc.). In ordering these elections, Moscow explicitly promised to recognize them and then, when the West and Kiev called them illegitimate, Moscow obliged and did not officially recognize them, hiding behind the sophistic formula already used for the referenda (“we respect” them).
Of course, the US and NATO knows all this and they are tweaking their strategy accordingly, letting Moscow be part of the process that is creating for Russia progressively disadvantageous, negative and self-defeating conditions.
Leaflets calling for the overthrow of business oligarch Petro Poroshenko and other oligarchs have been posted online The extremists are outraged because President Poroshenko has agreed to a ceasefire in Donbas at a time when a “second front has opened in Grozny.” “This is a good chance to sap Russia’s strength, but we have declared a truce. Just think of it: what kind of a truce is this when our soldiers are being killed every day and when these freakish separatists are ignoring it?” the indignant Euromaidan militants write. They also noted that corruption and oligarchy continue to thrive. “Degenerates who had robbed and killed us in previous years have been reelected to the Rada. The police are once again beating people time and again and protecting the traitors of Ukraine,” the leaflet states. At long last, national-fascists have realized that they are still being robbed under the pretext of war, and that Russia is being blamed for everything. On December 12, they want to seize state agencies in Kiev, just as was recently done in Vinnytsia. “We must defy the oligarchs and traitors, and we must give power to real patriots and military volunteers. We must officially declare war on Russia and fight it. Russia will be unable to fight on two fronts, and thousands of dead bodies will be too much for it,” the authors of the document note. Protesters are scheduled to gather at 6 pm local time on December 12 near an obelisk on Independence Square. Читать далее: http://en.ukraina.ru/news/20141210/1011457590.html
What are the problems with the Russian economy: ???
Part I
I will answer it differently from those who’ve been brainwashed by the four millenia plus long tradition of Semitic, Greek, Roman and now Anglo-Zionist imperial/parasite economics. It is precisely this kind of thinking (of supposedly ‘scientific’ economics) which now fully dominates the planet and has convinced bean counters and number crunchers worldwide that manipulating digits is the key to building prosperity. The ideation of resource exploitation, especially human resource exploitation, an oxymoron, as a good and necessary thing is the reason we are destroying our planet and are unable to so much as think of a better way to create real wealth and improve the lives of all people.
Economics is, at best, a social science. It is an aspect of culture so forget all the claptrap spoken by panels of know nothing economists trained in Royal Society and LSE talking points plus math. Marx had plenty of useful ideas but he was equally committed to the idea that workers should be cogs in an enormous machine: ultimately held in service to goals established by a self interested and parasitical elite. Efficiency has little to do wealth creation unless you are committed to the idea that wealth must flow upwards to be ‘managed’ by the exploiter class. So long as we remain trapped in this paradigm we are doomed to self annialation as has happened over and over to one empire after another throughout all of history.
Russia mostly lacks a culture of production (keep reading before you jump) but has a unique opportunity to build something entirely different that will leverage its vast resources and talented people. It can only succeed by first developing an understanding of what the problem is and what it has lost thanks to the virtual eradication of the kulak and artisan class plus indigenous rural Jewry. The so-called modern world was created by people committed to ruthless human exploitation and the Bolsheviks tore the heart out of Russia in their drive to imitate and surpass the West. The circumstances that created the economic ‘boom’ of the post World War 2 period in North America, Europe and Japan were a fluke and can never be repeated in a sustainable way for the benefit of all mankind. With China now on board we are precariously close to the end of the viability of Anglo-Zionist economics.
The Greeks and Romans openly admitted their prosperity was based on the exploitation of slaves. Our system is no different although we’ve managed to lose touch with this reality as the economics of globalization have allowed us to export most of the required misery to powerless people far away. Had our sytem been mainly about exploiting physical natural resources there would be no point in fighting a New Great Game after the Cold War was over. The West, China, Russia and others are competing, with varying degrees of awareness, for the right to lay claim to an adequete number of easily exploitable people so as to sutain their power and material prosperity.
Only Russia is in a strong position to break this pattern because the ratio of resources to people is very high (economists will dig that description). Russia will never have a large population of readily exploitable people relative to its competitors nor will it be permitted to take too big a share away from them so it must take a different path. At present it can leverage energy resources and weapons manufacturing to carve out a slice of the fruits of third world exploitation but this will only feed the Anglo-Zionist and Chinese slave master beasts who will eventually have no choice but to turn on Russia as the former are already begining to do. Russia cannot mimick the Western economic system of misery exploitation because it only empowers them in the longer term. Only thanks to Putin has Russia managed to avoid and delay falling prey to the economics of enslavement. The result is the AZ system has been pushed into an immediate crisis and it has happened very quickly necessicitaing their panicked response. This is also why the EU demands the right not just to use but also to own Russia’s energy resources. The economics of the current system and the need for easily exploitable resources demand it.
Although China is held up as shining example of what can be accomplished the fact is it has also externalized the worst aspects of unbridled exploitation to the Third World as well as to its own enormous and still mostly impoverished population; hand in glove with the West. Russia is in some ways fortunate that Chinese leadership has chosen to support a tripartite New World Order instead of directly carving up the world between the Anglo-Zionists and itself. In truth they are quite happy to see Russia carry the brunt of the fight against their main rival so for the time being at least, Russia has an opportunity to strengthen itself but the only way to do this and sustain it is to leverage her vast resources quickly and match it to her enormous creative human potential.
At some point the entire planet will hit a wall, with no new continents (or worlds) of easily exploitable human or other resources to be found.
Russia will succeed by combining two approaches:
1 – Russia must graft production culture onto itself via the immigration of people who already possess the know how. Dmitry Orlov is an unimpressive retread when talking about geopolitics but his ideas on self-sufficiency are exactly what is required for Russia in the longer term. This is how it was done in North America in the 19th century (the grafting-on of knowledgeable and talented European migrants, especially Germans and other central Europeans) before the Anglo finance parasites bought up everything productive and shipped it abroad or turned fixed assets like small farms into massive export oriented agricultural enterprises based on the parasite-skewed rules of ‘efficiency.’ The result is that North America has been turned into a cultural wasteland of rotting urban centres with wealthy gated communities on the periphery. My example is no different from the in-migration of German, Polish and Jewish artisans to Russia, especially between the time of the reign of Peter the Great and the partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
2 – Russia must foster a culture of production within itself through education and the incentivization of locally independent communities and people with access to modern technnologies that foster and support decentralization. If 14 year old Russians were properly inspired and apprenticed they could easily take their place alongside some of the new arrivals ensuring a critical mass takes root. Putin is the man who could make it desirable for these Nashi Pioneers to do it.
Personally I know this culture IS developing in parts of North America as people work hard to unplug from what they correctly see as the hostile world that sorrounds them. The US and Candian governments work hard to supress these 21st century pioneers but despite this the subculture is developing rapidly. People with the wherewithal are moving to the country with the idea of becoming maximally self sufficient and getting off the grid Many are successful and they tend to look for others who can support them with skills they may lack (who become prized partners and tenants).
Modern technology is an asset so long as it is used to assist in decentralization. As with all our technologies, how we choose to use and develop them is also an aspect of our culture. So long as our culture is guided almost exclusively by gangsters and their technocratic minions it will only serve their particular empire building interests so an important requirement for developing a modern independent culture of self sufficiency and production is that it be protected from capitalist and other forms of exploitative predation.
Russia is big and it can and will generate successful people, begining in agriculture and supportive small scale manufacturing but only if economically-minded top down proscribers leave these modern day pioneers completely alone. No taxes and no onerous regulations can be levied against them or they will never develop sufficient critical mass to replace the human and other wealth sucked up by urban banking centres in the dying Anglo-Zionist system Russia has mimicked in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Putin often shows signs that he recognizes this is the only path to achieving a healthy, strong and viably independent body of Russia although most of the people who sorround him are oblivious to what can make Russians the most free and prosperous people on Earth by far.
There is no short and easy route to producer development but talented and creative people can find a way forward. Obviously technological developments have seriously changed how this can be accomplished but unless Russians focus on and develop this kind of individuality on a large scale (very different from the individuality of consumer-slaves), they are doomed to eternal dependence on foreign products, ideas and technologies all of which lead to the modern form of priviledged serfdom, a.k.a. consumersim.
As for local development, I would open schools offering young people training and apprenticeships which would entitle them to maybe 100 hectares of land with supportive local co-operatives which could lend machinery, technical/technological and financial assistance as necessary. Local self sufficiency MUST be the primary goal so people must not become dependent on external support. This would obviously be an enormous undertaking fraught with difficulties but it would also allow Russia to use its talent for mega projects to build an infrasruture and assist with development. The most critical aspect is that Russia provides land and capital interest free up to a certain maximum amount to attract enough people. Those who say this is too expensive understand economics only by the rules made by centralizing parasites.
There will probably be 99 failures for every success but over a long period of time the basic structures of independent production will take hold and spread throughout Russia.
Basically I am proposing that instead of pandering to the North American viewership of RT, why doesn’t Russia try to foster the dream of their imagined viewership: a safe and secure environment where self sufficient pioneers can live their highest values, maybe have large families and allow interested local people to learn from them and join in as they please. If people watching RT believed that Russia had become the new frontier, like a new-New World of the 21st century, the Anglo-Zionists would quickly lose steam and then maybe Russia could, by the example of her people, save the world from self immolation.
Forget Novorussia from Odessa to Donetsk. Why not Novorussia all the way to Vladivostok and beyond?
That NKVD spy has been positively identified as the infamous Boris Badenov (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Badenov ) and Ukrainian authorities are still looking (with the assistance of Moose and Squirrel) for his accomplice Natasha Fatale and their boss (Fearless Leader).
This is a brilliant satire! Thank you for posting it.
Might I add – and this is very important – the Russians are idiots if they send their own army into Ukraine to police the zone between the Ukies and the rebels.
Why?
This is clearly a “cunning” Ukrainian plan that one can see through a mile away.
Get the Russians (FINALLY!) committing their forces inside Ukraine and they become – SITTING DUCKS for the likes of the Aidar & Azov battalions.
These guys hate Russia/ Russians – they certainly make no secret of that.
This opportunity to inflame the conflict with Russia and draw in Western Europe/ NATO is now being put on a platter for them if what I’m seeing and reading is correct.
So – Russia are putting their own army inside Ukraine at which they will be very very vulnerable to being sniped and shelled by crazy Ukies trying to start World War 3???
Truly – are the Russians that stupid???
Am I missing something???
What happens when the Azov or Aidar battallion ambushes and slaughters 100 members of the Russian armed forces.
Do Russia stand by and do nothing? Or do they feel they have no choice and commit to Ukraine in what will quickly turn into a full-scale War.
If the Russians are really doing this – putting their troops into harms way to be shot up by the Aidar & Azov battalions they should do it with ALLIES on the ground.
The countries I’m thinking of in particular are the Chinese (obviously), Korean, Indian, Brazilian and TURKISH (NATO). Get the Turks in there and if the Ukies pull any shit on them they are effectively launching a war against NATO & Russia.
Which Turkey can themselves declare.
Please someone tell me Russia isn’t being so naive and trusting of the Ukies to send their troops into such an obvious trap as this????????
Another thing I would add – and this goes to a sensible PR strategy for Russia in explaining its POINT OF VIEW.
If Russia could successfully disentangle Greece from the Euro (which is suffocating and strangulating the Greek economy terribly), Russia could refer to Greece as having joined “Free Europe”.
They could even say that in English as in quotations marks. “We welcome Greece into “Free Europe””
Start implanting the seed in audiences – and this will be reported accurately in many places around the world – if not in the US/UK perhaps – that Greece has been freed from the Euro/EU system and is now part of “Free Europe”.
They could use this terminology to describe any country not in the EU/Euro really. Like Serbia, Macedonia, Belarus, even Turkey (NATO membership not being important in this respect).
Start calling countries not in the EU – “Free Europe” – and watch countries start electing politicians that promise to take their country into “Free Europe” get elected.
Russia really needs to learn some PR techniques.
Technique No. 1
“If you say something often enough – People believe it”
Greece – it’s time to join Free Europe (and get cheap gas to boot). Really hope Russia are working on Alexis Tsipras and his Syriza party – and other parties in Greece that could support a Syriza Government.
The Joint Centre for Control and Co-ordination has been there for months, since just after the September ceasefire. Admittedly the didn’t have generals with so many stars, but there were fairly high level officers. The headquarters are at Debaltseve but they have outposts elsewhere, too. They were sabotaged by not being provided vehicles and radios, so they could not patrol. This is fairly typical of a Government project, to give lip service to doing something they don’t really want to do. OSCE has been talking with them daily, and sometimes drawing their attention to trouble spots they could do something about. They helped negotiate humanitarian ceasefires in various places, eg to repair power lines to a string of villages in Luhansk recently, and to let Ukies evacuate their wounded near the airport.
This is not anyone going over the heads of the republics, either — there are DPR and LPR representatives on the JCCC. They have avoided troop buildups by being able to challenge enemy convoys coming in… the JCCC investigates, and if it is claimed to be “troop rotation” then the same number of men and arms are expected to be seen leaving, too.
One serious difficulty with the Minsk agreement is, it apparently only applies where there are forces opposing. Neither Minsk nor the JCCC seem to be able to control situations like Mariupol, where Ukies slowly advance and do a fair bit of shelling, but have no NAF forces against them.
Attempts in the Rada to declare it an open war don’t augur well for so-called “peace” talks.
The latest garbled pronouncement from Strelkov is along the lines of * Putin has abandoned Novorossiya and the 5th column is winning * the governments of DPR an LPR have betrayed their people and there should/will be an uprising against them, allowing the people to save face ans rejoin Ukraine * if the fullscale war is put off until spring, NAF will be outnumbered 57 to one (I don’t know where he calculated that from) and will be beaten * therefore Russia should attack NOW (no consideration of possible world consequences).
OH NOW I remember where the 57:1 comes from. In spring ALL OF NATO is going to attack Novorossiya, but if Russia attacks NOW apparently they’ll do nothing to retaliate. Because winter.
Did I mention Strelkov is a dangerously naive, easily led idealist with a swelled head and fast diminishing hold on reality? sad to see.

More examples of the “exceptionalist” delusions of the American Empire.
Americans thinks they have a God-given right to deploy their spy planes, fighters, and warships near other nations’ borders like Russia and China with thinly disguised threats and saber-rattling.
But these same Americans throw a foot-stamping fit if a country like Russia legally sends its planes or ships by the borders of America’s colonies … I mean… NATO “allies” like Estonia, Lithuania, or Latvia.
America of course believes it can do what it wants to whom it wants.
Lest anybody give it a very small taste of its own medicine, America will throw a tantrum!
Americans are pathetic as they are arrogant.
“America’s Dangerous Double Standard on Air and Sea Provocations”
All mess in Europe was and is created by Germany and its industries, including Ukraine. Lebensraum or Drang nach osten were never abandoned. In this lines Merkel acts as Hitler did
U.S. New Cold War policy has backfired – and created its worst nightmare
“1. The world’s geopolitics, major trade patterns and military alliances have changed radically in the past month. Russia has re-oriented its gas and oil trade, and also its trade in military technology, away from Europe toward Eurasia.
The result is the opposite of America’s hope for the past half-century of dividing and conquering Eurasia: setting Russia against China, isolating Iran, and preventing India, the Near East and other Asian countries from joining together to create an alternative to the U.S. dollar area. American sanctions and New Cold War policy has driven these Asian countries together in association with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization as an alternative to NATO, and in the BRICS moves to avoid dealing with the dollar area, the IMF and World Bank austerity programs.
Regarding Europe, America’s insistence that it join the New Cold War by imposing sanctions on Russia and blocking Russian gas and oil exports has aggravated the Eurozone’s economic austerity, making it even more of a Dead Zone. This week a group of Germany’s leading politicians, diplomats and cultural celebrities wrote an open letter to Angela Merkel protesting her pro-U.S. anti-Russian policy. By overplaying its hand, the United States is in danger of driving Europe out of the U.S. economic orbit“…
Russia held starting in the 19th century though with a deep strife during the 20th , a number of scientific and artistic geniuses, whose legacy is still being developed but the Western world is plainly ignorant but for the secret military prograns they somewhat developed by bringing to USA the cream of Nazi scientists, who had partially developed some amazing science, like Viktor Schauberger, himself not a Nazi. Upon the demise of the USSR, the Russian Academy of Science, with the 5th column, did their best to destroy this legacy, and they are still busy at it, with seemingly little success. Russia is way more advanced in science and cognition at large, the West is still trying to hold the laurels and the shooting gun of a decrepit parasytic paradigm. To no avail. Be it

@Julian See it from another POV, if Russian soldiers do get attacked and injured (I’m hoping for no deaths here!), by the Azov etc. It is a good chance for Russia to justify itself and fully support Novorossiya. Remember the anti-Nazism resolution? The Anglozionist Empire do have to play by its own rules… (at the surface at least).
@Kat Kan Strelkov is child-like but he means well… Don’t get me wrong, below can be horrendously wrong and stupid,I’m a great fan of Strelkov, but let me say it :) Ukies Right Sector accused strelkov to be of Jewish descents, AND he never denied it, my friend is suspecting him to be trying to flame the war on purpose… I’m not antisemitic! Dammit
This is making the rounds today all over–weird timing as it is, maybe it really does have something to do with that DEC 15 bank transfer test monday in Russia (not sure if it’ll be a BRICS-to-BRICS test).
maybe if it works they have planned all along to make it online live from that hour?
The latest eye-opener comes from the U.S. Treasury, a department tasked with managing the country’s debt as well as the banking system as a whole. According to a new report the Treasury Department has ordered over $200,000 Survival Kits for as many as 3,814 employees who oversee the federal banking system.
It’s not clear why the federal government has ordered the kits, but perhaps they are expecting some sort of disturbance to take place and they want their employees to be prepared for it. According to Zero Hedge, the kits will be delivered to every major bank in the United States and include Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Capital One.
As Rupert Scholz, the former German secretary of defense, explained: “The aim of maintaining “stability” in Europe seems to be a most dangerous one. There will not be any real stablity, which is able to maintain peace, if individual nations are held prisoner in unwanted and unnatural (“unnatürliche”) state organizations, which have been imposed upon them.” Since 1990, German foreign policy has “constantly persisted in activly advocating a universal right of self-determination.” [4]
This policy has a particular bearing on Kosovo. The hidden war about Kosovo’s future started in 1995 at the latest. In February 1995 in the presence of Roman Herzog, Germany’s President at that time, Germany and Albania signed a common declaration of principle at Tirana. This declaration is rarely mentioned in the literature but nevertheless decisive because it promised to find a “solution to the Kosovo question” by advocating the right of self-determination for Kosovo’s Albanians. [5] Advocating self-determination for Kosovo´s Albanians, however, meant advocating their right to secede from Yugoslavia. This declaration was in so far a kind of advance notice to continue Germany’s 1991 course (recognition of Croatia) in order to further split up Yugoslavia following a racist (völkisch) concept of self-determination.
In the period following, the German goverment did everything it could to spur on the separation of Albanians within Kosovo. Germany supported and financed those nationalists who sought to pursue the goal of full independence by creating alternative governing institutions as well as independent Albanian educational and medical systems in Kosovo which systematically separated the majority of the people in Kosovo from the other peoples of Yugoslavia. In addition, German secret diplomacy was instrumental in helping the “Kosovo Liberation Army” (KLA), as they call themselves, since its creation in February 1996. The daily newspaper “The European” stated that “German civil and military intelligence services have been involved in training and equipping the rebels with the aim of cementing German influence in the Balkan area.”
It would be utterly amazing and incredible if the world began to recognise the wealth of resources that are not only from the earth.
I’m mot talking gobbldy-gook Star Wars extra territorial Mars rivers-of-wealth either, but I mean human wealth, that is spiritual, arts and science wealth, Christ wealth, love wealth. We all go about as though these are secondary, or the icing on the cake, or the bit that will, or may, happen, if we get the material resources thoroughly sorted first. Well, first we can’t because we’re stuffed, and so is the earth, so we’d better get the “secondary” bit right: This means saving the Ukraine and Russia as that’s where the resources of wealth that I’m talking about are, ice packed, and for the future, which will be very soon. Save Russia, save the planet.
@ Anonymous with the story about survival kits for bank employees….
well what can I say ? )a) story is from infowars.com not the most reliable source (Alex Jones????) )b) it makes it look like something huge with “$200,000SurvivalKits” but it is actually cheap little bare basic kits, the 2000,000 is for the LOT of them. Probably the main reason they bought it is, some good salesman talked them into it. The rest of the story continues with instructions on how to survive, with the usual scare mongering.
But it is not stupidity that is driving the decisions of the Russian Central Bank.
The point of raising interest rates is to crush the real economy of small and medium sized businesses and then allow others with access to capital (in London, New York, Frankfurt, etc.) to buy it up for pennies on the dollar. The title of the piece somewhat misdirects (intentionally I believe) even if the overall anaysis is very good.
The same thing was done when the Bank of Canada was basically ceded to IMF gangsters by Pierre Trudeau in 1973. Before that, Canada printed as much money as needed and put it into the economy INTEREST FREE.
World Wars I & II plus most of Canada’s develoment were funded this way. Canada was the first country to be debt free after World War II and what followed was an unprecedented period of growth which no nation on earth has since repeated.
After 1973, the system changed so that the Bank of Canada printed money, gave it over to private banks at a minscule interest rate who then lent it back to the government, at up to nearly 20% in the late 1970’s, and thus were able to buy up everything or sell it to foreign interests while turning everyone into debt slaves.
Even if you have zero debt personally, as a Canadian, FORTY PERCENT of your income goes to paying interest directly to banks.
This is why Russian interests rates were kept so high. The Banksters are making their usual play with the debt based currency scam with which they’ve gained ownership of everything.
The Russian Central Bank must be dismantled or Russia will experience exactly the same pattern as her resource rich and underpopulated Canadian analogue. I doubt Putin would think otherwise so with his recent speech the die has been cast. I should also note, nothing is revealed with my comment that hasn’t been turned over and over by buildings full of diplomatic experts. The ball now lies in the Anglo-Zionist court and they know it for sure.
Anyone, like Khazin, who demands heads roll at the Russian Central Bank but also believes the institution can be salvaged are agents of foreign based oligarchics. Or else Khazin is tasked, directly by Putin, with reassuring the oligarchs that Russia is indeed falling into line and will allow itself to be enslaved to foreign based oligarcgical elites, a strong possbility in this 4 dimensional game of diplomatic chess.
I am basically stunned that so few people seem to understand the modus operandi of the banksters after all these years. If Putin is sincere in his desire to make Russia a free and independent nation, he will have to address this situation immediately. None of this is so much as debatable to anyone who knows anything about 20th century economic history — and you can be sure that Khazin knows his history.
Here’s what I really believe:
Putin knows exactly what’s happening but he’s still working to buy time (playing dumb alongside Glaziev and possbly with the help of Khazin) until he and Russia are in a stronger position. No doubt to move against the RCB now will be costly and fraught with difficulty and he must be wary because he and his life’s work are threatened like never before.
Unfortunately he is completely out of time and the costs of moving against the RCB will only increase the longer this goes. The mere mention of the RCB in his speech has been interpreted as positive proof he will move against the IMF Embassy in Moscow and I agree with this view. He is far too wily to misjudge the situation and his enemies already believe the same.
Putin would like Russia to be the victim of an obvious Pearl Harbour type assault (physical or economic) by the West so as to guarantee worldwide support which Russia still needs vey badly if it is to fight a decades long struggle. Just as he will not move directly into Ukraine so as not to empower the Anglo-Zionists, they will also try very hard to limit their overt agresiveness towards Russia although it seems otherwise to supporters of Russia who experience every minor sanction or other humiliation as if it weere the end of the world.
As ever, the Anglo-Zionists can bring things to a head if they are determined to do so — and they ARE!
Who blinks first does matter but at some point the brawl will ensue, unless of course Putin is content to allow Russia to become completely enslaved to the West and the oligarch traitors who still have enormous power to make things difficult for he and Russia.
The moment of truth draws closer by the day. I sincerely hope Putin in now safely esconced somewhere where his life can’t be threatened. I am positive that at this very moments Russia is full to the brim with assassins.

Ann, there are at least two anons interested in Steiner. I talked with you in an old thread. I am not the anon here. I am the one who saw the last traces of old Europe in isolated places where it survived into the 60s and 70s. We had a good conversation.
With Russian military formally invited into the Donbas, this could be the beginning of a peacekeeping force. Russia has stated as I understand it that the Donbas region should remain a part of Ukraine.
Judging from the declarations made by Kiev officials and Poroshenko, the Western and Kiev’s position is that it is Russia that needs to fulfill all the conditions under the Minsk Agreements. In Australia, Poroshenko said that “Russia must abide by a peace plan agreed in Minsk on September 5.”
In particular, clearly well coached by Western PR specialists, Poroshenko then spelled it for the mass audience in several short and simple sentences, even ending with “Very simple”:
“Please stop the fire. Please release the hostages. Please withdraw your troops from my territory. Please close the border. And I promise if you close the border, within one, two, three weeks, we have peace and stability in Ukraine. Very simple.”
The use of the term “hostages” instead of prisoners, detainees, or prisoners of war is very clever. It implies that both Russia and Novorossiya are terrorists who are taking Ukrainian soldiers and members of the right-wing battalions as “hostages.”
The demand also make it seem that it is Russia that is the source of shelling against Donbass, when it is the Kiev regime.
Unfortunately, yes, unfortunately, Moscow (as worded by Putin after his meeting with Hollande at the Vnukovo airport) is matching Poroshenko’s simple talking points only with this one: “As you know, we are supporting territorial integrity of Ukraine.”
Moreover, Kiev’s military spokesman Andriy Lysenko made it clear that the Kiev junta has no intention to withdraw its heavy weapons from its positions around the cities of Donbass for the supposed condition for them is that no single shot be fired for a day: “Once there has been a day without a single shot, it will signal we can start the process of withdrawing heavy weapons.”
So far, as far as Novorossiya is concerned, Putin and the Russian government has abandoned 1) any argument for Novorossiya on the basis of self-determination, 2) an effort to make the case on the basis of human lives and their protection, 3) an argument on the basis of standing up against fascism, 4) an argument about the continued illegitimacy of the Kiev regime, 5) an argument in terms of the national liberation struggle, 6) an argument against NATO expansionism and NATO-sponsored regime change in Ukraine either as aggression or as a threat to Russia’s national security, 6) an argument about the Novorossiya uprising as a democratic, anti-oligarchic revolution for social justice and dignity. Instead, Russia merely appeals to some autonomy rights and to a need to amend Ukraine’s constitution.
While, in the West, the most persuasive and effective argument of the activists that Novorossiya is mainly a struggle with fascism, Russia’s official position is tied to Russia’s insistence on fulfilling the Minsk Deal, which happens to be also the very thing which the West and NATO demands
It is now official:
Ukraine’s new minister of economic development says Ukraine is bankrupt

Waiting for several months after the referenda (modeled on that in Crimea) in Donets and Lugansk on May 11, which Putin urged to be “postponed” (in that case effectively killing them), Putin and the Russian government began making it increasingly clear that the Minsk Agreements, which they do want to be fully implemented, do mean reintegration of Lugansk and Donetsk into Ukraine with the current Banderite and anti-Russian regime in Kiev intact. This position also means that, for Moscow, the referenda of May 11 are treated as politically and legally immaterial. But, at the same time, Moscow did not want to see Donetsk and Lugansk defeated militarily or in an open and direct way for, in that case, things would be too obvious and too bad for Putin’s reputation and legitimacy. To enable this “strategy,” Strelkov was removed, the Minsk Agreements were signed, and Moscow selected new leaders for Donetsk and Lugansk and made the republics run “local elections,” as Moscow now calls them, in which other candidates were barred from running (Gubarev, the communists, Batman, etc.). In ordering these elections, Moscow explicitly promised to recognize them and then, when the West and Kiev called them illegitimate, Moscow obliged and did not officially recognize them, hiding behind the sophistic formula already used for the referenda (“we respect” them).
Of course, the US and NATO knows all this and they are tweaking their strategy accordingly, letting Moscow be part of the process that is creating for Russia progressively disadvantageous, negative and self-defeating conditions.
Ukrainian radicals call for new Euromaidan.
Leaflets calling for the overthrow of business oligarch Petro Poroshenko and other oligarchs have been posted online The extremists are outraged because President Poroshenko has agreed to a ceasefire in Donbas at a time when a “second front has opened in Grozny.” “This is a good chance to sap Russia’s strength, but we have declared a truce. Just think of it: what kind of a truce is this when our soldiers are being killed every day and when these freakish separatists are ignoring it?” the indignant Euromaidan militants write. They also noted that corruption and oligarchy continue to thrive. “Degenerates who had robbed and killed us in previous years have been reelected to the Rada. The police are once again beating people time and again and protecting the traitors of Ukraine,” the leaflet states. At long last, national-fascists have realized that they are still being robbed under the pretext of war, and that Russia is being blamed for everything. On December 12, they want to seize state agencies in Kiev, just as was recently done in Vinnytsia. “We must defy the oligarchs and traitors, and we must give power to real patriots and military volunteers. We must officially declare war on Russia and fight it. Russia will be unable to fight on two fronts, and thousands of dead bodies will be too much for it,” the authors of the document note. Protesters are scheduled to gather at 6 pm local time on December 12 near an obelisk on Independence Square.

What are the problems with the Russian economy: ???
Part I
I will answer it differently from those who’ve been brainwashed by the four millenia plus long tradition of Semitic, Greek, Roman and now Anglo-Zionist imperial/parasite economics. It is precisely this kind of thinking (of supposedly ‘scientific’ economics) which now fully dominates the planet and has convinced bean counters and number crunchers worldwide that manipulating digits is the key to building prosperity. The ideation of resource exploitation, especially human resource exploitation, an oxymoron, as a good and necessary thing is the reason we are destroying our planet and are unable to so much as think of a better way to create real wealth and improve the lives of all people.
Economics is, at best, a social science. It is an aspect of culture so forget all the claptrap spoken by panels of know nothing economists trained in Royal Society and LSE talking points plus math. Marx had plenty of useful ideas but he was equally committed to the idea that workers should be cogs in an enormous machine: ultimately held in service to goals established by a self interested and parasitical elite. Efficiency has little to do wealth creation unless you are committed to the idea that wealth must flow upwards to be ‘managed’ by the exploiter class. So long as we remain trapped in this paradigm we are doomed to self annialation as has happened over and over to one empire after another throughout all of history.
Russia mostly lacks a culture of production (keep reading before you jump) but has a unique opportunity to build something entirely different that will leverage its vast resources and talented people. It can only succeed by first developing an understanding of what the problem is and what it has lost thanks to the virtual eradication of the kulak and artisan class plus indigenous rural Jewry. The so-called modern world was created by people committed to ruthless human exploitation and the Bolsheviks tore the heart out of Russia in their drive to imitate and surpass the West. The circumstances that created the economic ‘boom’ of the post World War 2 period in North America, Europe and Japan were a fluke and can never be repeated in a sustainable way for the benefit of all mankind. With China now on board we are precariously close to the end of the viability of Anglo-Zionist economics.
The Greeks and Romans openly admitted their prosperity was based on the exploitation of slaves. Our system is no different although we’ve managed to lose touch with this reality as the economics of globalization have allowed us to export most of the required misery to powerless people far away. Had our sytem been mainly about exploiting physical natural resources there would be no point in fighting a New Great Game after the Cold War was over. The West, China, Russia and others are competing, with varying degrees of awareness, for the right to lay claim to an adequete number of easily exploitable people so as to sutain their power and material prosperity.
Part II
Only Russia is in a strong position to break this pattern because the ratio of resources to people is very high (economists will dig that description). Russia will never have a large population of readily exploitable people relative to its competitors nor will it be permitted to take too big a share away from them so it must take a different path. At present it can leverage energy resources and weapons manufacturing to carve out a slice of the fruits of third world exploitation but this will only feed the Anglo-Zionist and Chinese slave master beasts who will eventually have no choice but to turn on Russia as the former are already begining to do. Russia cannot mimick the Western economic system of misery exploitation because it only empowers them in the longer term. Only thanks to Putin has Russia managed to avoid and delay falling prey to the economics of enslavement. The result is the AZ system has been pushed into an immediate crisis and it has happened very quickly necessicitaing their panicked response. This is also why the EU demands the right not just to use but also to own Russia’s energy resources. The economics of the current system and the need for easily exploitable resources demand it.
Although China is held up as shining example of what can be accomplished the fact is it has also externalized the worst aspects of unbridled exploitation to the Third World as well as to its own enormous and still mostly impoverished population; hand in glove with the West. Russia is in some ways fortunate that Chinese leadership has chosen to support a tripartite New World Order instead of directly carving up the world between the Anglo-Zionists and itself. In truth they are quite happy to see Russia carry the brunt of the fight against their main rival so for the time being at least, Russia has an opportunity to strengthen itself but the only way to do this and sustain it is to leverage her vast resources quickly and match it to her enormous creative human potential.
At some point the entire planet will hit a wall, with no new continents (or worlds) of easily exploitable human or other resources to be found.
Russia will succeed by combining two approaches:
1 – Russia must graft production culture onto itself via the immigration of people who already possess the know how. Dmitry Orlov is an unimpressive retread when talking about geopolitics but his ideas on self-sufficiency are exactly what is required for Russia in the longer term. This is how it was done in North America in the 19th century (the grafting-on of knowledgeable and talented European migrants, especially Germans and other central Europeans) before the Anglo finance parasites bought up everything productive and shipped it abroad or turned fixed assets like small farms into massive export oriented agricultural enterprises based on the parasite-skewed rules of ‘efficiency.’ The result is that North America has been turned into a cultural wasteland of rotting urban centres with wealthy gated communities on the periphery. My example is no different from the in-migration of German, Polish and Jewish artisans to Russia, especially between the time of the reign of Peter the Great and the partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
2 – Russia must foster a culture of production within itself through education and the incentivization of locally independent communities and people with access to modern technnologies that foster and support decentralization. If 14 year old Russians were properly inspired and apprenticed they could easily take their place alongside some of the new arrivals ensuring a critical mass takes root. Putin is the man who could make it desirable for these Nashi Pioneers to do it.
Part III
Personally I know this culture IS developing in parts of North America as people work hard to unplug from what they correctly see as the hostile world that sorrounds them. The US and Candian governments work hard to supress these 21st century pioneers but despite this the subculture is developing rapidly. People with the wherewithal are moving to the country with the idea of becoming maximally self sufficient and getting off the grid Many are successful and they tend to look for others who can support them with skills they may lack (who become prized partners and tenants).
Modern technology is an asset so long as it is used to assist in decentralization. As with all our technologies, how we choose to use and develop them is also an aspect of our culture. So long as our culture is guided almost exclusively by gangsters and their technocratic minions it will only serve their particular empire building interests so an important requirement for developing a modern independent culture of self sufficiency and production is that it be protected from capitalist and other forms of exploitative predation.
Russia is big and it can and will generate successful people, begining in agriculture and supportive small scale manufacturing but only if economically-minded top down proscribers leave these modern day pioneers completely alone. No taxes and no onerous regulations can be levied against them or they will never develop sufficient critical mass to replace the human and other wealth sucked up by urban banking centres in the dying Anglo-Zionist system Russia has mimicked in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Putin often shows signs that he recognizes this is the only path to achieving a healthy, strong and viably independent body of Russia although most of the people who sorround him are oblivious to what can make Russians the most free and prosperous people on Earth by far.
There is no short and easy route to producer development but talented and creative people can find a way forward. Obviously technological developments have seriously changed how this can be accomplished but unless Russians focus on and develop this kind of individuality on a large scale (very different from the individuality of consumer-slaves), they are doomed to eternal dependence on foreign products, ideas and technologies all of which lead to the modern form of priviledged serfdom, a.k.a. consumersim.
As for local development, I would open schools offering young people training and apprenticeships which would entitle them to maybe 100 hectares of land with supportive local co-operatives which could lend machinery, technical/technological and financial assistance as necessary. Local self sufficiency MUST be the primary goal so people must not become dependent on external support. This would obviously be an enormous undertaking fraught with difficulties but it would also allow Russia to use its talent for mega projects to build an infrasruture and assist with development. The most critical aspect is that Russia provides land and capital interest free up to a certain maximum amount to attract enough people. Those who say this is too expensive understand economics only by the rules made by centralizing parasites.
There will probably be 99 failures for every success but over a long period of time the basic structures of independent production will take hold and spread throughout Russia.
Part IV
Basically I am proposing that instead of pandering to the North American viewership of RT, why doesn’t Russia try to foster the dream of their imagined viewership: a safe and secure environment where self sufficient pioneers can live their highest values, maybe have large families and allow interested local people to learn from them and join in as they please. If people watching RT believed that Russia had become the new frontier, like a new-New World of the 21st century, the Anglo-Zionists would quickly lose steam and then maybe Russia could, by the example of her people, save the world from self immolation.
Forget Novorussia from Odessa to Donetsk. Why not Novorussia all the way to Vladivostok and beyond?
That NKVD spy has been positively identified as the infamous Boris Badenov (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Badenov ) and Ukrainian authorities are still looking (with the assistance of Moose and Squirrel) for his accomplice Natasha Fatale and their boss (Fearless Leader).
This is a brilliant satire! Thank you for posting it.
Might I add – and this is very important – the Russians are idiots if they send their own army into Ukraine to police the zone between the Ukies and the rebels.
Why?
This is clearly a “cunning” Ukrainian plan that one can see through a mile away.
Get the Russians (FINALLY!) committing their forces inside Ukraine and they become – SITTING DUCKS for the likes of the Aidar & Azov battalions.
These guys hate Russia/ Russians – they certainly make no secret of that.
This opportunity to inflame the conflict with Russia and draw in Western Europe/ NATO is now being put on a platter for them if what I’m seeing and reading is correct.
So – Russia are putting their own army inside Ukraine at which they will be very very vulnerable to being sniped and shelled by crazy Ukies trying to start World War 3???
Truly – are the Russians that stupid???
Am I missing something???
What happens when the Azov or Aidar battallion ambushes and slaughters 100 members of the Russian armed forces.
Do Russia stand by and do nothing? Or do they feel they have no choice and commit to Ukraine in what will quickly turn into a full-scale War.
If the Russians are really doing this – putting their troops into harms way to be shot up by the Aidar & Azov battalions they should do it with ALLIES on the ground.
The countries I’m thinking of in particular are the Chinese (obviously), Korean, Indian, Brazilian and TURKISH (NATO). Get the Turks in there and if the Ukies pull any shit on them they are effectively launching a war against NATO & Russia.
Which Turkey can themselves declare.
Please someone tell me Russia isn’t being so naive and trusting of the Ukies to send their troops into such an obvious trap as this????????
Another thing I would add – and this goes to a sensible PR strategy for Russia in explaining its POINT OF VIEW.
If Russia could successfully disentangle Greece from the Euro (which is suffocating and strangulating the Greek economy terribly), Russia could refer to Greece as having joined “Free Europe”.
They could even say that in English as in quotations marks. “We welcome Greece into “Free Europe””
Start implanting the seed in audiences – and this will be reported accurately in many places around the world – if not in the US/UK perhaps – that Greece has been freed from the Euro/EU system and is now part of “Free Europe”.
They could use this terminology to describe any country not in the EU/Euro really. Like Serbia, Macedonia, Belarus, even Turkey (NATO membership not being important in this respect).
Start calling countries not in the EU – “Free Europe” – and watch countries start electing politicians that promise to take their country into “Free Europe” get elected.
Russia really needs to learn some PR techniques.
Technique No. 1
“If you say something often enough – People believe it”
Greece – it’s time to join Free Europe (and get cheap gas to boot). Really hope Russia are working on Alexis Tsipras and his Syriza party – and other parties in Greece that could support a Syriza Government.
The Joint Centre for Control and Co-ordination has been there for months, since just after the September ceasefire. Admittedly the didn’t have generals with so many stars, but there were fairly high level officers. The headquarters are at Debaltseve but they have outposts elsewhere, too. They were sabotaged by not being provided vehicles and radios, so they could not patrol. This is fairly typical of a Government project, to give lip service to doing something they don’t really want to do.
OSCE has been talking with them daily, and sometimes drawing their attention to trouble spots they could do something about. They helped negotiate humanitarian ceasefires in various places, eg to repair power lines to a string of villages in Luhansk recently, and to let Ukies evacuate their wounded near the airport.
This is not anyone going over the heads of the republics, either — there are DPR and LPR representatives on the JCCC. They have avoided troop buildups by being able to challenge enemy convoys coming in… the JCCC investigates, and if it is claimed to be “troop rotation” then the same number of men and arms are expected to be seen leaving, too.
One serious difficulty with the Minsk agreement is, it apparently only applies where there are forces opposing. Neither Minsk nor the JCCC seem to be able to control situations like Mariupol, where Ukies slowly advance and do a fair bit of shelling, but have no NAF forces against them.
Attempts in the Rada to declare it an open war don’t augur well for so-called “peace” talks.
The latest garbled pronouncement from Strelkov is along the lines of
* Putin has abandoned Novorossiya and the 5th column is winning
* the governments of DPR an LPR have betrayed their people and there should/will be an uprising against them, allowing the people to save face ans rejoin Ukraine
* if the fullscale war is put off until spring, NAF will be outnumbered 57 to one (I don’t know where he calculated that from) and will be beaten
* therefore Russia should attack NOW (no consideration of possible world consequences).
OH NOW I remember where the 57:1 comes from. In spring ALL OF NATO is going to attack Novorossiya, but if Russia attacks NOW apparently they’ll do nothing to retaliate. Because winter.
Did I mention Strelkov is a dangerously naive, easily led idealist with a swelled head and fast diminishing hold on reality? sad to see.
Where -Wolf
That was a bit long for me at present but got the general gist I think, and appreciate the directions you come from. Especially the last paragraph is very good, and that’ s the point of it all I suppose.
Ann has made some good points here concerning spiritual science and Rudolf Steiner, he may interest you in terms of the mission and role of the East.
Good luck and keep writing, because it is interesting what you have to say, despite I am too tired to read all properly:(
and to other posters all, thanks too so much for updates and thoughts analysis and links and more, and continuing thanks to Saker naturally.
More examples of the “exceptionalist” delusions of the American Empire.
Americans thinks they have a God-given right to deploy their spy planes, fighters, and warships near other nations’ borders like Russia and China with thinly disguised threats and saber-rattling.
But these same Americans throw a foot-stamping fit if a country like Russia legally sends its planes or ships by the borders of America’s colonies … I mean… NATO “allies” like Estonia, Lithuania, or Latvia.
America of course believes it can do what it wants to whom it wants.
Lest anybody give it a very small taste of its own medicine, America will throw a tantrum!
Americans are pathetic as they are arrogant.

All mess in Europe was and is created by Germany and its industries, including Ukraine. Lebensraum or Drang nach osten were never abandoned. In this lines Merkel acts as Hitler did
Backfired! | Michael Hudson
U.S. New Cold War policy has backfired – and created its worst nightmare
“1. The world’s geopolitics, major trade patterns and military alliances have changed radically in the past month. Russia has re-oriented its gas and oil trade, and also its trade in military technology, away from Europe toward Eurasia.
The result is the opposite of America’s hope for the past half-century of dividing and conquering Eurasia: setting Russia against China, isolating Iran, and preventing India, the Near East and other Asian countries from joining together to create an alternative to the U.S. dollar area. American sanctions and New Cold War policy has driven these Asian countries together in association with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization as an alternative to NATO, and in the BRICS moves to avoid dealing with the dollar area, the IMF and World Bank austerity programs.
Regarding Europe, America’s insistence that it join the New Cold War by imposing sanctions on Russia and blocking Russian gas and oil exports has aggravated the Eurozone’s economic austerity, making it even more of a Dead Zone. This week a group of Germany’s leading politicians, diplomats and cultural celebrities wrote an open letter to Angela Merkel protesting her pro-U.S. anti-Russian policy. By overplaying its hand, the United States is in danger of driving Europe out of the U.S. economic orbit“…

Russia held starting in the 19th century though with a deep strife during the 20th , a number of scientific and artistic geniuses, whose legacy is still being developed but the Western world is plainly ignorant but for the secret military prograns they somewhat developed by bringing to USA the cream of Nazi scientists, who had partially developed some amazing science, like Viktor Schauberger, himself not a Nazi.
Upon the demise of the USSR, the Russian Academy of Science, with the 5th column, did their best to destroy this legacy, and they are still busy at it, with seemingly little success. Russia is way more advanced in science and cognition at large, the West is still trying to hold the laurels and the shooting gun of a decrepit parasytic paradigm. To no avail.

@Julian
See it from another POV, if Russian soldiers do get attacked and injured (I’m hoping for no deaths here!), by the Azov etc. It is a good chance for Russia to justify itself and fully support Novorossiya. Remember the anti-Nazism resolution?
The Anglozionist Empire do have to play by its own rules… (at the surface at least).

This is making the rounds today all over–weird timing as it is, maybe it really does have something to do with that DEC 15 bank transfer test monday in Russia (not sure if it’ll be a BRICS-to-BRICS test).
maybe if it works they have planned all along to make it online live from that hour?
The latest eye-opener comes from the U.S. Treasury, a department tasked with managing the country’s debt as well as the banking system as a whole. According to a new report the Treasury Department has ordered over $200,000 Survival Kits for as many as 3,814 employees who oversee the federal banking system.
It’s not clear why the federal government has ordered the kits, but perhaps they are expecting some sort of disturbance to take place and they want their employees to be prepared for it. According to Zero Hedge, the kits will be delivered to every major bank in the United States and include Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Capital One.

As Rupert Scholz, the former German secretary of defense, explained: “The aim of maintaining “stability” in Europe seems to be a most dangerous one. There will not be any real stablity, which is able to maintain peace, if individual nations are held prisoner in unwanted and unnatural (“unnatürliche”) state organizations, which have been imposed upon them.” Since 1990, German foreign policy has “constantly persisted in activly advocating a universal right of self-determination.” [4]
This policy has a particular bearing on Kosovo. The hidden war about Kosovo’s future started in 1995 at the latest. In February 1995 in the presence of Roman Herzog, Germany’s President at that time, Germany and Albania signed a common declaration of principle at Tirana. This declaration is rarely mentioned in the literature but nevertheless decisive because it promised to find a “solution to the Kosovo question” by advocating the right of self-determination for Kosovo’s Albanians. [5] Advocating self-determination for Kosovo´s Albanians, however, meant advocating their right to secede from Yugoslavia. This declaration was in so far a kind of advance notice to continue Germany’s 1991 course (recognition of Croatia) in order to further split up Yugoslavia following a racist (völkisch) concept of self-determination.
In the period following, the German goverment did everything it could to spur on the separation of Albanians within Kosovo. Germany supported and financed those nationalists who sought to pursue the goal of full independence by creating alternative governing institutions as well as independent Albanian educational and medical systems in Kosovo which systematically separated the majority of the people in Kosovo from the other peoples of Yugoslavia. In addition, German secret diplomacy was instrumental in helping the “Kosovo Liberation Army” (KLA), as they call themselves, since its creation in February 1996. The daily newspaper “The European” stated that “German civil and military intelligence services have been involved in training and equipping the rebels with the aim of cementing German influence in the Balkan area.”

It would be utterly amazing and incredible if the world began to recognise the wealth of resources that are not only from the earth.
I’m mot talking gobbldy-gook Star Wars extra territorial Mars rivers-of-wealth either, but I mean human wealth, that is spiritual, arts and science wealth, Christ wealth, love wealth. We all go about as though these are secondary, or the icing on the cake, or the bit that will, or may, happen, if we get the material resources thoroughly sorted first.
Well, first we can’t because we’re stuffed, and so is the earth, so we’d better get the “secondary” bit right: This means saving the Ukraine and Russia as that’s where the resources of wealth that I’m talking about are, ice packed, and for the future, which will be very soon.
Save Russia, save the planet.
@ Anonymous with the story about survival kits for bank employees….
well what can I say ?
)a) story is from infowars.com not the most reliable source (Alex Jones????)
)b) it makes it look like something huge with
“$200,000SurvivalKits” but it is actually cheap little bare basic kits, the 2000,000 is for the LOT of them.
Probably the main reason they bought it is, some good salesman talked them into it. The rest of the story continues with instructions on how to survive, with the usual scare mongering.
Part I
I love this guy.
But it is not stupidity that is driving the decisions of the Russian Central Bank.
The point of raising interest rates is to crush the real economy of small and medium sized businesses and then allow others with access to capital (in London, New York, Frankfurt, etc.) to buy it up for pennies on the dollar. The title of the piece somewhat misdirects (intentionally I believe) even if the overall anaysis is very good.
The same thing was done when the Bank of Canada was basically ceded to IMF gangsters by Pierre Trudeau in 1973. Before that, Canada printed as much money as needed and put it into the economy INTEREST FREE.
World Wars I & II plus most of Canada’s develoment were funded this way. Canada was the first country to be debt free after World War II and what followed was an unprecedented period of growth which no nation on earth has since repeated.
After 1973, the system changed so that the Bank of Canada printed money, gave it over to private banks at a minscule interest rate who then lent it back to the government, at up to nearly 20% in the late 1970’s, and thus were able to buy up everything or sell it to foreign interests while turning everyone into debt slaves.
Even if you have zero debt personally, as a Canadian, FORTY PERCENT of your income goes to paying interest directly to banks.
This is why Russian interests rates were kept so high. The Banksters are making their usual play with the debt based currency scam with which they’ve gained ownership of everything.
The Russian Central Bank must be dismantled or Russia will experience exactly the same pattern as her resource rich and underpopulated Canadian analogue. I doubt Putin would think otherwise so with his recent speech the die has been cast. I should also note, nothing is revealed with my comment that hasn’t been turned over and over by buildings full of diplomatic experts. The ball now lies in the Anglo-Zionist court and they know it for sure.
Part II
Anyone, like Khazin, who demands heads roll at the Russian Central Bank but also believes the institution can be salvaged are agents of foreign based oligarchics. Or else Khazin is tasked, directly by Putin, with reassuring the oligarchs that Russia is indeed falling into line and will allow itself to be enslaved to foreign based oligarcgical elites, a strong possbility in this 4 dimensional game of diplomatic chess.
I am basically stunned that so few people seem to understand the modus operandi of the banksters after all these years. If Putin is sincere in his desire to make Russia a free and independent nation, he will have to address this situation immediately. None of this is so much as debatable to anyone who knows anything about 20th century economic history — and you can be sure that Khazin knows his history.
Here’s what I really believe:
Putin knows exactly what’s happening but he’s still working to buy time (playing dumb alongside Glaziev and possbly with the help of Khazin) until he and Russia are in a stronger position. No doubt to move against the RCB now will be costly and fraught with difficulty and he must be wary because he and his life’s work are threatened like never before.
Unfortunately he is completely out of time and the costs of moving against the RCB will only increase the longer this goes. The mere mention of the RCB in his speech has been interpreted as positive proof he will move against the IMF Embassy in Moscow and I agree with this view. He is far too wily to misjudge the situation and his enemies already believe the same.
Putin would like Russia to be the victim of an obvious Pearl Harbour type assault (physical or economic) by the West so as to guarantee worldwide support which Russia still needs vey badly if it is to fight a decades long struggle. Just as he will not move directly into Ukraine so as not to empower the Anglo-Zionists, they will also try very hard to limit their overt agresiveness towards Russia although it seems otherwise to supporters of Russia who experience every minor sanction or other humiliation as if it weere the end of the world.
As ever, the Anglo-Zionists can bring things to a head if they are determined to do so — and they ARE!
Who blinks first does matter but at some point the brawl will ensue, unless of course Putin is content to allow Russia to become completely enslaved to the West and the oligarch traitors who still have enormous power to make things difficult for he and Russia.
The moment of truth draws closer by the day. I sincerely hope Putin in now safely esconced somewhere where his life can’t be threatened. I am positive that at this very moments Russia is full to the brim with assassins.

That was a bit long for me at present but got the general gist I think, and appreciate the directions you come from. Especially the last paragraph is very good, and that’ s the point of it all I suppose.
Ann has made some good points here concerning spiritual science and Rudolf Steiner, he may interest you in terms of the mission and role of the East.
Good luck and keep writing, because it is interesting what you have to say, despite I am too tired to read all properly:(
and to other posters all, thanks too so much for updates and thoughts analysis and links and more, and continuing thanks to Saker naturally.
Hi Ann!
How to choose a name when one is so indecisive, changeable, and preferring to be anonymous..
I respect your comments, and send sincere thanks to you,
anon
Ann, there are at least two anons interested in Steiner. I talked with you in an old thread. I am not the anon here. I am the one who saw the last traces of old Europe in isolated places where it survived into the 60s and 70s. We had a good conversation.
