Best book in the world on Masonry is in Russian. ТАЙНАЯ ИСТОРИЯ МАСОНСТВА – ОЛЕГ ПЛАТОНОВ. Secret History of the Masons. I want to remind U that ALL of French records and documents on the Masonry were stolen by Hitler. And then, Red Army found them and brought them back to Moscow
————————————–
I did a google search for that book a few minutes ago and found an article, This is a machine translated text of the beginning of that article. Now I can’t find that same article in any search.
The Secret History of Freemasonry – Oleg Platonov
The Secret History of Masonry
Oleg Platonov
This book is written on the basis of authentic Masonic documents, kept in secret Masonic archives and not subject to publication.
Dedicated to the memory of Metropolitan
St. Petersburg and Ladoga
John (Snychev, 02.11.1995),
who blessed this work
Metropolitan John of St. Petersburg and Ladoga (Snychev)
Russian Masonic secrets were guarded so reliably, that if World War II did not happen, we, most likely, would not have learned anything until now. The fact is that the archives of the Masonic lodges (and the Russian lodges were Western branches) and various secret organizations and special services were captured by Hitler during the occupation of Europe. And after our victory we were in the hands of the Red Army. As a trophy, they were taken to Moscow, where they were kept under strict confidentiality until 1991, using mainly as an operational material for the KGB.
Dozens, hundreds of thousands of cases from the middle of the eighteenth century to 1939, and in them – the minutes of meetings of Masonic lodges, documents, circular letters and instructions, financial reports and correspondence, which make it possible to speak with full certainty of the criminal, conspiratorial nature of this secret organization, which places the main the goal of achieving political influence and the domination of dark behind-the-scenes forces.
Unlike Western Freemasonry, which mainly played the role of behind-the-scenes ideological and political lobby, Russian Freemasonry had its own characteristics. Keeping all the features of the behind-the-scenes lobby, Russian freemasonry, because of its dependence on foreign Masonic orders, was the focus of persons deprived of national consciousness, and often just plainly anti-Russian.
For many of them, Freemasonry was a form of Russophobia – hatred of the Russian people, its traditions, customs and ideals, trampling on Russia’s national interests. In Masonry, the Russian intelligentsia alienated themselves from the Russian people, left it underground, inventing there various projects and combinations of “arrangement” of Russia in the Western way.
The main thing, of course, was that Russian Freemasonry, since the XVIII century, has always been only a branch of the Masonic orders of Western Europe, carefully following all the instructions of their leaders.
Even in those short moments when it received relative autonomy, the internal life of Russian Freemasonry was completely controlled by foreign centers. This is irrefutably demonstrated by the correspondence of Russian Masons with their leaders from abroad, as well as reports on the work carried out. From abroad, Russian masons receive instructions and circular letters, from which one can see what position the Russian brothers should take.
The authority of the foreign Masonic bosses was very high among Russian Masons, often much higher than the authority of the legitimate Russian government. How many times in its history did Russian Masons engage in secret collusion with foreign counterparts to pursue a line that in their language was called “great Masonic truth”!
The Russian Masonic brothers were not at all embarrassed that they were inherently agents of foreign governments and, following the installation of foreign centers, undermined Russia’s national interests.
The history of Freemasonry in Russia is the story of a conspiracy against Russia. The archival data show that there is practically no important event for Russia in which the Masonic orders did not play a special, always negative role for Russia. Freemasonry was the main form of the invisible spiritual occupation of Russia, a form of realization of the anti-Russian impulses of the West.
In relation to Russia, the activities of the Masonic orders were purely conspiratorial in nature, because they presumed secret actions that did not correspond to Russia’s national interests. contributed to its weakening, defeat in wars, the destruction of national ideals, traditions and customs.
In fact, the “work” of the Masonic orders was conducted in parallel with the subversive activities of foreign special services, and was often intertwined with them. There are many cases where members of Masonic lodges and agents of foreign intelligence services appeared in one person. By the way, foreign special services have always viewed the Masons as a reserve for recruiting personnel in the fight against Russia.
The Masons themselves have always tried to present their criminal community as an ideological organization. However, there was no positive idea in the mental reasoning of the Masons, but only Satan’s thirst for domination over other people.
The ideology of Freemasonry is the ideology of chosenness, which presupposes domination over mankind. The aim of the Masons is to establish a world order in which they will have a dominant role. In the Masonic literature, this is symbolically portrayed as the construction of a temple, of which Freemasons are freestyle masons.
Their father they consider Adoniram (or Adoram), to whom Solomon entrusted the structure of the temple. This Adoniram “had a great number of workers to produce a fee, which he could not all know.” To each builder of the Solomonic temple, the Masonic system promises a reward

Marvel of engineering – the Kerch Bridge to open today. Congratulations to the engineers and workers .
A great effort linking Krim to Rus.
https://www.rt.com/business/426703-crimea-bridge-opening-russia/
In my past, I first worked on bridge construction, and then later worked doing design of bridges. As such, that project across the Kerch straights looked like an amazing one to be a part of. These days, I’m on the wrong side of the world, and at least in America I’m considered to old to be employed. But I’d have been honored and thrilled to work on such a project. It looks amazing! Congratulations to all involved. Good work, and done on a job that needed to be done!
Evidently there is plan to destroy new bridge…here’s the “predictive programming “editorial” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/ukraine-should-blow-up-putins-crimea-bridge
They use “journalists” to plant the idea…then, after a suitable pause, they do it…and since it was predicted, the peeoople permit the crime, or at least do not strongly object.
I saw that the ukies have already threatened to attack the structure…but can’t fin the article again…
“…Fortunately Ukraine has the means to launch air strikes against the bridge in a manner that would render it at least temporarily unusable. Because of its significant length, the Ukrainian air force could strike the bridge while mitigating the risk of casualties by those traversing it…”
Stephon Pollock is the alledged Las Vegas mass murdering madman who took a modern automatic weapon and opened fire on a large crowd of people.
Pollock obviously made a mistake. What he should have done is contacted an Israeli embassy, and seen if he could have gotten permission to be a Border-Guard-For-A-Day. Then, he could have legally taken the same weapons and opened fire on similar crowds of people. But then he would not be regarded as an insane mass murderer, but as a hero. He could have posted videos of him laughing at the people he’s shooting, and Israeli government ministers would applaud him. He could have killed about the same number of people, but then been invited to the Trump White House and be given a medal.

Can’t read Russian fast enough. But I sent link to my wife.
Daniel Estulin is an interesting man. Evidently raised in Lithuania…..proud of his former Soviet citizenry. Then emigrates to Argentina it seems?
I read almost all of his tweets (dozens and dozens) apparently written 3 days ago…with most in dialogue in Spanish….South Americans and a few Mexicans…..interesting peek into the consciousness to the south at least of seekers of historical and political truth……
What’s the best book by him to read in English or Spanish?
I like his vehemence, but Saker has said most Russian masons, when push came to shove (at least in wars) were loyal to Russia. Slight difference of opinion……
No question that masonry with its secrecy and hierarchy and compartmentalization has been a very potent and effective weapon of The Few……against the Many…… a lot!
However I doubt that it is ALL entirely a 100% black and white matter. At times that potent and effective “secret” weapon was used against other systems of Empire and Authority…..that were themselves hardly benign…….in the West.
I will encourage my wife to read the whole book. I don’t think Estulin said it was translated into Spanish either. If it was, I’ll read it.
Much about Masons is mystery to me, but I can say with some assurance that in the gold rush period of California the Masons provided a coordinated Vigilante system that was generally preferred to the laws and regulation that followed. Of course there also followed a campaign to slander the Vigilante system. Some faint evidence in social structures of Northern California survives today.Understand, all commerce was in gold, and one needed assurances of probity. The control of robbery seldom involved hanging. They appointed defense counsel and had trials. Banishment was pretty common.
The period of Vigilante control of San Francisco especially makes good reading, though historians of the period rarely mention that nearly all Vigilantes were in fact Masons, and disciplined, sober, and well admired.
You have to read the diaries…not wiki…
I can add that the once famous spook and adventurer, von Luckner, was a Mason and a member of the Lodge in Hamburg. Jews were admitted to that Lodge, and not to some others in Germany. When the racial laws were made, Luckner gave a speech defending his Jewish brothers in the Lodge… “Drikugel” was, I seem to remember, the name of the Hamburg Lodge…but it’s been 50 years since I made a study of old v. Luckner…
Altogether, Masonry, it seems to me, provided a sort of “armature” (in the sense of the skeleton within a sculpture), which may be coordinated by intelops…and certainly is. Whose intelops, and to what purpose?
That is variable. Any club can be coordinated…even the Jewish “club”…as we see to our horror, as the MI6 intelop goes nuts, like the Golem it has become…
For the murdered Palestinians a long quote from Finian Cunningham article:
America’s Jerusalem embassy for mass murder, occupation and wider war
https://www.rt.com/op-ed/426680-jerusalem-embassy-palestine-violence/
How obscenely ironic. Embassies traditionally symbolize diplomacy and peace. The opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem was occasioned by a grotesque baptism of murder of Palestinians, heralding wider war in the Middle East.
Not only that, but on the very anniversary of one of the most shameful episodes of ethnic cleansing and dispossession over the past century – the 1948 Nakba or Catastrophe for Palestinians – the US government is brazenly siding with the heirs of that historic violence, the Israeli state.
Trump’s wholesale abandonment of any shame in endorsing Israeli violations against Arab historic rights is an incitement to regional conflagration.
It’s hard to express the horror. Israeli snipers shooting unarmed Palestinian protesters in Gaza, while some 100 kilometers away in Jerusalem, US dignitaries and evangelical pastors were blessing the opening of Washington’s new embassy as ‘God’s work’.
US President Donald Trump’s policy in the Middle East, if you could call it “policy”, has descended into absolute lunacy. No wonder, most European states stayed away from the US reception for unveiling its new diplomatic center.
Trump’s reckless disregard for Palestinian-Israeli peace is plunging the region into a blood bath. This week’s incendiary snub to Palestinians and the wider Arab region followed his tearing up of US obligations to the Iran nuclear accord. That violation of an international treaty has left diplomats from Europe, Russia, China and Iran scrambling to salvage a deal, which if it falls apart will unleash more instability and even war in the Middle East.
When Trump announced in December the moving of his country’s embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem it was roundly rebuked at the United Nations. The move violates decades of international consensus that Jerusalem should be a shared capital between Palestinians and Israelis pending the outcome of peace negotiations.
Trump said his decision was merely a “reflection of reality”. Cynically, it marks US acquiescence to illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory.
To be fair, Washington’s decision to relocate its embassy to Jerusalem was made over 20 years ago in 1995. Presidents Clinton, GW Bush and Obama opted to delay the actual move, claiming that such a move depended on progress in peace talks. Trump has now put into action legislation that was already on the books.
But what his declaration signifies is the jettisoning of any pretense by the US of being an “honest broker” between Israelis and Palestinians. Palestinian leaders now refuse to even engage with US officials, such is their disgust.
Paradoxically, Trump is helping to clarify the situation. The US is openly backing Israeli conquest of Palestinian territory and oppression of Palestinians. Washington is now transparently complicit in criminal Israeli policy rather than hiding behind a facade of mediation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed Trump this week for “making Israel great again”. With typical chutzpah, Netanyahu urged other nations to follow suit, absurdly claiming that by relocating their embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem they would facilitate peace.
The perverse logic, as proven already by the US policy, is that any chance of peace between Palestinians and Israelis is being utterly destroyed.
The hellish conditions that Palestinians are subjected to under relentless Israeli occupation are driving them to the desperate act of lining up in their thousands under the fire of Israeli snipers.
Over the past six weeks since Gaza’s population began the “Great Return March” some 50 unarmed protesters have been murdered by Israeli live fire. On the day of the US Embassy opening, dozens of more civilians were shot dead, within hours of the Jerusalem ceremony.
Israeli commanders have openly admitted that a shoot-to-kill tactic is being used whereby soldiers are even targeting children who dare to approach a separation barrier on Gaza’s eastern border with Israeli-held territory.
The Gaza protests were organized by ordinary Palestinians to highlight their desperate plea against a barbaric occupation and prevention of residents returning to their historic homes, including in Jerusalem. Some 70 per cent of Gaza’s population are descended from refugees who were displaced by Israeli settlers in the 1948 pogroms and later in the 1967 War.
Under Israeli siege, which the UN has described as illegal, Gazans are prevented from moving out of the coastal strip. Some two million people – half of whom are under 18 years old – subsist in unlivable conditions. Over 90 per cent of Gaza’s water supply is contaminated, electricity is available for only a few hours per day, fisherman are prevented from going beyond a few miles from the shore where human sewage runs directly into the sea.
As American historian Norman Finkelstein points out, Gaza is being tormented by military occupation, an inhuman blockade, massacres conducted with impunity by Israeli military, and children being poisoned. It is this context of genocide in which the recent protests are taking place.
Those protests were organized to coincide with the 70th anniversary of Israel’s declared foundation on May 14, 1948. The next day, May 15, is what the Palestinians and many supporters around the world prefer to focus on – the Catastrophe.
Trump’s decision to open the US Embassy in Jerusalem this week could not be more provocative and criminally insane.
It truly is a shockingly callous display of US support for seven decades of barbaric oppression against Palestinians and the wider Arab region. …
The zionazi queens of pindo “conservative” talk radio we’re wanking themselves silly over the embassy opening. These wannabee goatsods referred to the Palestinians murdered today as terrorists. The zionazi far right fronting the quisling trump regime make the hitler youth appear rational.
Voilà, my crypto-musings du jour, which follow up on very interesting post by Bro in the last cafe.
Bro’s filmmaker friend sketches out how he’s working not only on a documentary about blockchain, but also an effort such that the film itself leverages or even pioneers the use of blockchain in the sphere of film distribution.
Roughly — and please correct me if I’ve got this wrong —, my understanding of the project is this: his idea is to create an EOS token for the movie, and then give them away. The tokens allow their bearers to stream the movie or download it. I.e., the cost of either viewing or taking possession of the film will be expressed in EOS tokens. Once that is done, the project will be a case study of a possible future of movie consumption that could be sold to big streaming platforms like Hulu or Vimeo. For this project, then, the tokens would be free and the project is really to gather salable data and experience. In the future, of course, they would not be free.
My reactions: first, insofar as EOS hasn’t gone live yet and dApps for the platform are still vaporware, this means the audience for the documentary will be limited to those who will know how to navigate the bleeding edge of crypto tech. Of course somebody could (and probably will) write a dApp for movie distribution, but we (or at least I) don’t yet know when that will be available or what it might look like. Also, it depends on the anticipated launch date of the film. In any case, an app would need to exist before we could use it to obtain and/or watch the film. Maybe your friend already has an angle on this, already has contacts with a dApp developer, I can’t say. For the moment, then, the actual user experience of paying to stream/download the film remains a question mark.
For example, I bought some EOS on an exchange this spring (after you started talking about it, actually), but then there was an air drop and some kind of swap from a preview token (or whatever they called it), and at this point I’m pretty unclear on what’s going to happen to my EOS when the network goes live on June 1st. Will my EOS work on the new network? Will I have to transfer it through some special Ethereum wallet? Questions, questions, and really they are a separate discussion. My point is just that if somebody like me, who has been studying the crypto space for months now, is unclear on how this is going to work, I don’t see a casual film viewer being drawn to this.
For most people, the reality of choosing a film to watch is a pretty vague thing. People in the film business know this better than anybody, and it’s part of the reason that publicity budgets for Hollywood films are so insanely high. For blockchain to make a difference here, it has to make the choice of watching a film easier, not more complicated.
Second, I’m not really clear on how this approach would “protect” movies or music. It would be an alternate payment system, but if the idea is to use blockchain as a new system of DRM, the only way to really achieve that is hooking it up to a player that runs on the client side. There is existing tech for this, though personally the work on blockchain-enabled DRM schemes is not something that interests me. If the goal is to really disintermediate distribution, okay, but that’s not what I’m hearing in this pitch. More pointedly, I guess part of me wonders why we should be thinking about how to help big companies (e.g., Hulu had $1B in ad revenue last year) to increase their already-big revenue. (Aside: on the subject of Hulu and blockchain,might be interesting.)
https://www.ccn.com/hulu-cautiously-optimistic-about-blockchain-solutions-to-advertising-challenges/
Third, another angle on this — and one that I am personally more curious about — would be how blockchain could be used to raise money for film production and distribution. Maybe that’s more on the ICO side of things, idk. Will blockchain provide a way for independent directors/producers to raise capital for their projects and get them to audiences, or will it be taken up by the big players in the industry as it exists today?
To elaborate on this point, remember how Kyle of the Awakenment was gushing about how EOS would, in his words: “eradicate as many corporations as possible from the service industry”, and remember how his main example was the insurance business? His example was health insurance, and how in the wonderful EOS-enabled future we could use it to transact directly with hospitals and cut out the middleman. Since then, I happened to see an article reporting on how IBM is working with ANZ, New Zealand’s largest bank, on a “faster, more transparent payment reconciliation between brokers and insurers in the insurance industry”. To me, this is a much more plausible future than what Kyle is talking about: blockchain *won’t* provide total utopian disintermediation, rather, it will be adopted by the existing players to streamline and rationalize their offerings. Corporations like IBM and ANZ are the ones who have the capital, knowledge, and engineering resources to make this happen, and they have already started working on it. In practice, then, my concern would be that blockchain probably gets used to reduce costs inside the existing insurance industry, which is hardly the kind of disintermediation that the evangelists are talking about. Needless to say, shareholders love it when companies reduce their costs by, for example, sacking tens of thousands of employees, and that’s the space that players like IBM and ANZ are aiming for.
In any case, I look forward to hearing more about the documentary on blockchain, and hope my EOS tokens won’t become worthless on June 1st, so that I can watch it as the filmmaker is hoping — via a blockchain transaction.
Following up on cryptos and cinema, it seems “blockchain” has landed at Cannes:
At this year’s Cannes, the buzzword is blockchain
“As if to show it’s market intent, Slate also used the Marché du Film forum to purchase the documentary Beyond Bitcoin for what was reportedly a ‘seven figure sum.’
The documentary, about the future of digital currencies and made by British director Jake Witzenfeld, follows the stories of crypto financier Ryan Radloff, blockchain academic Perianne Boring and early Bitcoin adopter Roger Ver over the course of a year and attempts to examine what potential blockchain technology will have beyond its use with currencies. The documentary is scheduled to air in 2019.”
Mujo you have lots of questions whose answers are beyond the ken of a generalist like myself, at this point in time.
I will forward your comments and questions to the film maker. Email between him and me or better you and him without intermediary would probably be more sensible than expecting him to show up directly in the Cafe.
Amarynth has agreed to facilitate such email connections if they are desired by both parties. It would start with me and you and then evolve into you and him directly……as I am apt to have less time this summer than I have had for Vineyarding the past period.
But I would scan the cafe for what you guys clarify for the rest of us on the film/blockchain interface, as it evolves.
In regard to your EOS tokens, any bought before June 1 , 2018 “Launch” do become worthless unless “registered” with EOS before June 1…..or June 3….there’s a 2 day grace period.
I am NOT I.T. savvy, so this “registering” took a while, mainly because of extreme care on my part to guard the private key (and keep it off line for anything more than a few seconds…..). Even if the amounts are small in fiat terms of current value, you want to establish the right habits and discipline because some of these things can rise in value 5, 10, 100 times……is not all that rare, over a year or two.
Caution is the better part of valor when one does not understand how most digital data tech works, so you beginners and probably Mujo (more tech-savvy) types want a flash drive with private keys on it (stored in a secure place where it can’t be lost) to plug into your computer only when your computer is disconnected from the internet, for easy copying and pasting of keys……because the keys are are too damned long (35 or so characters??) to manually read them off a piece of paper and type in….you want to copy and paste them electronically….without error and without wasting time.
Now the shortcut to “registering” EOS tokens is if you bought them on Binance….you have a Binance account….then you can simply move them back onto Binance May 28- June 4 more or less (or whenever you see the permanent ones up in your Binance “wallets” with balances….) which will (it is said by Kyle and many others on the internet) match them to the NEW, permanent EOS token or whatever they call it.
Then move them off Binance Exchange for more permanent secure storage. There will probalby be an EOS dedicated wallet soon, unless the project implodes…but cold storage with hard wallet “opener” of MEW whose private key NO ONE sees…..is best….until the unique wallet is released…..and even then hard wallet storage is probably better.
Ledger Nano S accomodates 20 or so different major non ER-C (Etherium-based) coins and both Ledger and Trezor hard wallets can serve as openers for the most Secure type of MEW…..no paper printed out anywhere with any private key to go astray and fall into the wrong hands.
Better (IMHO) is to create a new MEW (My Ether Wallet……a paper wallet…….you print out the public address and private key and keep it in 2-3 secure places where 1 fire could not burn all the copies and they are inaccessible to everyone who has no business seeing them…..by choosing the option on the MEW Create NEW Wallet page…..which is to OPEN it with a “hard wallet” like Trezor or Ledger Nano S. I you don’t have one of these hard wallets you probably aren’t going to get one shipped to you in the 14-16 days left, however.
That’s a tight timetable!
But the hard wallet dispenses with the paper version and the private unique key is embedded in each piece of hardware …..unable to be seen by anyone, including the owner of the hard wallet. Secure! Unhackable. Unless you are ransomed at gunpoint and forced to cough up the hard wallet PIN!! Unlikely unless you have a ton more of them (EOS or any other token) than any of us here are ever likely to accumulate! LOL.
There are other remedies for registering EOS but I didn’t do them. Plenty of you tube instructions on the internet. Kyle’s is not bad. His video suggests a new MEW opened by hard wallet, but then proceeds to show other ways.
To make the process clear of what is being done: you go onto the EOS website and obtain the permanent public/private key combination for the permanent not temporary tokens……that has nothing to do with MEW…..then there is a process of about a dozen steps for mapping that permanent combination for the permanent tokens onto the storage site of the present expirable token in some version of MEW. Kyle has those instructions up on his The Awakenment you tube channel…..but the instructions I used did not come from a publically available link.
If you get stuck, I will email those instructions to you!
PS: You’re right, by the time a billion people catch on to all of this (it is too much challenge to many to learn, at this early stage) the cow will be out of the barn and the payoff for “early adoption” and learning will be mostly a thing of the past….
One expects that many of the challenges faced by early adopters in the crypto space in terms of security, inconvenience, frustration and a lot of learning curve will get easier, soon.
If this Javvy Wallet
https://youtu.be/iUX9vWdJTJc
coming out in July is a hard wallet (private keys embedded in the device….making it unhackable) that handles crytpo currencies that can currently only be stored on “desk top wallets” (not as secure, need to be backed up, clearly not portable—unless on a laptop “pseudo-desktop”) then I might get one and give it a good or bad review….as I see it.
On the other hand if the less than 2 minute video above is correct and there are currently only 3 million cryptocurrency users worldwide (??) that is less than 1 in 2,000 of the earth’s 7 billion plus inhabitants….meaning perhaps only Mujo and I and Amarynth have any of this on our radars, yet, and are preaching to an empty church………Anony-mouse.
To repeat, the significance, IMHO is not personal gain or loss but societal gain or loss and how good and big or negligible or even negative of a factor that will turn out to be.
More on that tomorrow from The Fast Adopters’ Crypto Lane, Interstate 5, Southern LA County.
@Bro, thanks a million for this! I will try it and report back.
The gold and diamond king of South Africa, Cecil Rhodes, was thrilled with the great British Anglo-Saxon Empire and by extension thought of the white race as a righteous means to control the world.
Rhodes met with his boss Rothschild in 1890 to discuss the implementation of this idea. Rothschild approved and in 1891 Rhodes formed a secret government of concentric circles with himself and several others at the center with associates and helpers manning the outer circles.
One of their first projects was the Boer War, which proved very challenging, but the conspiracy was determined and did prevail.
Another major project was establishing a central bank in the USA. The Conspiracy had central banks, or their equivalent, throughout the world, but need one in the USA to finalize the global financial structure. It helped that the Conspiracy had taken over the US Democratic Party in 1896.
The Federal Reserve Act kicked in just in time for their next project — war with Germany. Britain could not compete with Germany and figured to eliminate that competition. The Conspiracy had enlisted Russia, France, the USA, and others in their plans, and finally Germany was provoked in to attacking Belgium and start the war.
By this time Rhodes was long gone, and Rothschild put out the word that only Zionists would henceforth man the inner circles of the secret government.
The Anglo-Saxons fell from grace.
Sergei Skripal was secretly visiting different European countries and met with local intelligence officers. The Czech Republic and Estonia were among them. Spain very likely too (no pun intended), but unconfirmed. Meetings were facilitated by Britain. I will add details in a reply.
Czech President Doubts Lawmakers’ Conclusion Country Never Produced Nerve Agents
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201805101064341293-czech-president-nerve-agents-production/
WARSAW (Sputnik) – Czech President Milos Zeman said on Thursday he doubted Czech lawmakers’ conclusion that the country had never produced and stored any Novichok-family nerve agents allegedly used in the poisoning of Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia.
“I was citing the director of the Military Research Institute, who, in February, had published a report on Novichok production. I respect academic background of Parliament’s members, but I am not sure that they are more informed than institute’s director on where the gas had been produced,” Zeman stated after the meeting with Polish President Andrzej Duda in Warsaw.
A summary from NYT, which is a source of this news, about Skripal’s visits of local European intelligence officers:
– Mr. Skripal, a veteran of Russia’s military intelligence agency, the G.R.U., apparently traveled widely, offering briefings on Russia to foreign intelligence operatives, according to European officials, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity. The meetings were almost certainly approved and possibly facilitated by the British authorities as a way to both educate their allies and provide Mr. Skripal with income.
– He met with Czech intelligence officials on several occasions and visited Estonia in 2016 to meet with local spies.
– The trips were kept secret, known only to a select few intelligence agents. Not a single official from the spy services in the Czech Republic or Estonia would discuss the details publicly.
– Asked whether Mr. Skripal had met in recent years with intelligence agents in Spain, where he had once worked as a double agent, a spokesman for the country’s foreign intelligence service, CNI, said the question “is a red line we cannot cross.”
– Mr. Skripal arrived in Prague in 2012 shortly after his wife, Lyudmila, succumbed to uterine cancer. He met with officers from at least one of the Czech Republic’s three intelligence services, according to a Czech official with knowledge of the meetings.
Mr. Skripal was so helpful that Czech intelligence officers continued to meet with him, the official said, making several trips to Britain in subsequent years, though the exact dates are unclear.
– Officials were more circumspect about Mr. Skripal’s visit to Estonia, with one describing it as “very sensitive information.” A senior European official with knowledge of the trip confirmed that the former Russian agent met secretly with a select group of intelligence officers in June 2016, though it is not clear what they discussed. The British intelligence services helped facilitate the meeting, the official said.

Nerve agent on the door knob is a ridiculous theory. First, why would two people touch the door knob to open or close the doors. Even if they did, it is not possible for both of them to get just the right amount of a nerve agent not to kill them but to make them sick with the same intensity at the same time hours later.
Who we are, why we’re digging: Team probing Syrian war & Skripal poisoning case reveal all
https://www.rt.com/uk/426489-skripal-syria-propoganda-academic/
Made up of 15 academics, researchers, and PhD candidates across the UK, the group was established to “facilitate research into the areas of organised, persuasive communication (including propaganda and information operations) with respect to the 2011-present conflict in Syria, including related topics.”
Sheffield University Professor of Politics, Society and Political Journalism Piers Robinson spoke to RT following the release of the group’s most recent investigative analysis, an “update on the Salisbury poisonings.” Robinson said that the UK government’s theory that the chemical smeared on the front door was what led to the poisoning of Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, was an unlikely scenario.
“Our briefing notes that it is implausible that exposure to a nerve agent on the front door could have caused both Skripals to collapse suddenly and simultaneously at least three hours later,” he said, declining to enter into speculation about other possible scenarios. “Our concern is about what the evidence shows, not what we think,” he said.
The paper did note, however, that there were obvious possible motives for actors other than the Russian state to assassinate Sergei Skripal in early 2018. “The UK’s case that ‘only Russia’ had such a motive does not stand up to critical examination,” it read.
Robinson did have his own questions for the UK government. “Why will they not reveal the identity of the compound, what is known of its toxicity and how to treat it, and what is known of how to deal with contamination? This information is needed in case any more attacks occur,” he said.
“What steps has the UK government taken to rebut the Russian suggestion that Yulia Skripal is being isolated against her will,” Robinson questioned. “For instance, why not allow a neutral lawyer or diplomat to take a deposition from her that she has freely chosen to isolate herself from her family and from social media?”
“Although still work in progress, the piece, [an] update to briefing note ‘Doubts about Novichoks,’ has been well received by academics and serious commentators. It has been singled out by Cornell University’s Professor of Organic Chemistry David B. Collum as the most definitive work on the Novichok nerve agent scandal.

German Intelligence Knew ‘Novichok’ Nerve Agent Composition in 1990s – Reports
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201805171064530915-germany-knew-novichok-formula/
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – German intelligence gained a sample of the so-called “Novichok” nerve agent and determined its chemical composition back in the 1990s, local media reported on Wednesday.
An investigation, carried out by several major German media and published by the Zeit newspaper, revealed that over 20 years ago, the German federal intelligence service Bundesnachrichtendienst had managed to obtain a sample of the poison from a defector recruited by the intelligence. The outlet emphasized that the decision-makers in this operation confirmed this information.
The sample was reportedly transported to a laboratory in Sweden for analysis. However, the intelligence service and the German army were only provided with the chemical composition of the substance subsequently. The Swedish government was unable to comment on the information, the publication added.
Germany subsequently shared the characteristics of the substance with its NATO allies, the investigation revealed. Some of these NATO members began producing small quantities of the nerve agent.
RT has more detailed info:
Western countries, including the US and the UK, have long been aware of the chemical makeup of the nerve agent known as Novichok, a group of German media outlets reported following a joint investigation. The inquiry, based on anonymous sources, gives new insights into the issue of the nerve agent said to have been used in the poisoning of former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury, UK, in March. …
By the order of the then German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the BND then shared the formula with Berlin’s “closest allies,” including the intelligence services of the US and the UK. Later, the UK, the US and Germany reportedly created a special “working group” tasked with studying the substance, which also included representatives from France, Canada and the Netherlands.
“Some NATO countries were secretly producing the chemical agent in small quantities,” the four media outlets reported, adding that it was allegedly done to develop the necessary countermeasures. However, it remains unclear which particular states were involved in the Novichok production.
The sample of the nerve agent was particularly thoroughly studied by British specialists in the Porton Down laboratory. That is why they allegedly were so quick to determine the formula of the substance used to poison the former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia back in March, the report says.
At the same time, the German media admitted that “Novichok has long been not a secret anymore,” calling the claim of the British authorities concerning the origin of the substance used to poison the Skripals “precarious.”

Venezuela’s Oil-Backed Crypto Petro Grows Thanks to a Little-Known Russian Bank
Thanks, if the link above doesnt work, try,
https://www.ccn.com/?s=venezuela
The bank involved is Evrofinance Mosnarbank. Here some info:
“Evrofinance Mosnarbank ( Joint Stock Company) was established at the end of 2003 as a result of a merger of Evrofinance Bank and CB ‘Mosnarbank’. Such amalgamation was a natural development due to the fact that Bank Evrofinance and CB’Mosnarbank’ were incorporated as subsidiaries of major Russian owned banks based abroad and had common missions and business objectives. Bank Evrofinance. Established in 1993 by reorganization of a financial company of the same name (incorporated in 1990 as one of the first foreign-owned entities in Russia, Licence # 2 issued by the State Bank of the USSR on 10 December 1990). Its founding members were the Paris-based Russian-owned Banque Commerciale pour l’Europe du Nord – EUROBANK (BCEN-EUROBANK) and USSR Vnesheconombank, Moscow (the agent of the Russian Government on management of the USSR foreign debts and assets). CB «Mosnarbank». Established in 1995 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the London-based Russian-owned Moscow Narodny Bank Ltd. Being a versatile credit institution, Evrofinance Mosnarbank holds all licences required for effecting any banking operations permitted by Russian law. The shareholders structure of Evrofinance Mosnarbank includes: – VTB Group, including VTB Bank, VTB Bank (France) S.A., ITC Consultants (Cyprus), 25% + 1 share – Gazprombank Group, including Gazprombank, Gazprombank (Switzerland) Ltd, 25% + 1 share – National Development Fund, FONDEN / FONDO DE DESARROLLO NACIONAL, S.A., 50% – 2 shares”
From here: http://cbonds.com/pages/EvrofinanceMosnarbank
Shareholders in the bank are internationally based Russian banks in Paris and London (25% each) and FONDEN / FONDO DE DESARROLLO NACIONAL, S.A. (the remaining 50%) which is a government fund of Venezuela:
“The National Fund for National Development (FONDEN, S. A.) is an entity established by the government of Venezuela to invest the income that the nation receives as a result of exports of oil, its main source of income. FONDEN is legally registered as a company of limited company. Its creation was formalized with the publication of its regulations in the Official Gazette no. 38.232 dated July 20, 2005. Since then, he has handled the equivalent of more than 100 billion dollars by the concept of oil revenues. In 2011 alone he received 25 % of the State revenues in oil exports.
FONDEN is controlled by a board of directors made by the Ministry of the Popular Power for Economy, Finance and Public Banking, the Ministry of Popular Power for the Planning, and the Executive Vice president.”
Machine translation of here: https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FONDEN
So this seems to me more a “cloak” of a Russian bank “covering” Venezuela investing in their own crypto. Not that this is necessarily problematic but important to know what this actually is.

Putin attends Crimean Bridge opening ceremony
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvDGPXJOtRk
Thanks for posting that link. I started my day (EDT) with it, and it was a good start. Probably will watch it again before sleeping tonight.
A wonderful thing to see! VVP driving one of the first vehicles (notice, not the only “first,” symbolizing that the makers of the bridge are his equals in this project) in the parade across the new Kertch bridge! His words were inspiring but not “gushy and lying” as many pols would make it — straightforward — difficult job, good job, thank you. I thank you, the nation thanks you.
I’m sure that as all across this world, many Russians are dirt poor and seem to have little going for them, but at least they have a leader who is smart and shows his good will towards all people — and good manners, to boot. In that they are lucky, for they have him will have many accomplishments on down the line to be proud of. Whenever they have a tendency to feel distressed and whiny (which most of us do from time to time), I hope for them to remember such visions as this.
And whadda bridge! I look forward to an analysis (written for a nonengineer) of the various sections and explanation of how it is designed and why. How the construction was divided up and how it was all put together, along with timeline, etc. I can understand the structural mechanics if some good tech writer takes time to explain it to me. With lots of pix. It was a very interesting bridge project.
This morning the nazi gang looting ukie threatens to attack said bridge… Obviously such action would assure “regrettable” response…which would be, in logic, precisely the reason to attack the bridge…to start a new phase of the already running war… The nazis must be either suicidal, under control of persons who want a war, or really, really, stupid. But of course they shall get what’s “best”, will they not?

Russian Investigators Get Proof Refuting Rodchenkov’s Claims on Doping Samples
https://sputniknews.com/russia/201805111064348734-russia-proof-rodchenkov/
“The investigators have collected objective evidence that refutes Rodchenkov’s deceitful testimony about the delivery of doping samples of athletes to the Sochi Anti-Doping Laboratory, their storage and the replacement of them as a result of the opening of the BEREG-KIT bottles at night,” Svetlana Petrenko said.
The spokeswoman added that the Russian Investigative Committee had sent to the WADA the relevant documents, indicating that urine samples of Russian athletes during the Olympic Games in Sochi were transmitted during the day, rather than at night, and were handed over for tests within two hours.

Russian Investigators Want to Question German Journalist Over Doping Documentary
https://sputniknews.com/sport/201805151064474325-seppelt-russia-journalist-rodchenkov-doping/
The Russian Investigative Committee wants to question German journalist Hajo Seppelt in the case of World Anti-Doping Agency’s (WADA) informant Grigory Rodchenkov, the committee’s spokeswoman said on Tuesday.
The spokeswoman noted that Russian investigators was seeking to question the journalist regarding the information which he learned when making a documentary about the alleged doping violations of Russian athletes.
Earlier in the day, the German Foreign Ministry confirmed that Seppelt had been granted a visa to work at this summer’s FIFA World Cup in Russia. On Friday, the German TV channel ARD reported that Russia had denied Seppelt the visa required for attending the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which the broadcaster said was “an unprecedented interference in press freedom in terms of coverage of major events, such as the World Cup.”
…..
ARD is accusing Russia of ‘an unprecedented interference in press freedom’ even if all Seppelt and Rodchenkov lies were proven as lies and in spite of that Seppelt had been granted a visa. At the same time Victoria Skripal is denied a visa for the second time, SBU raids an office of RIA Novosti and detains a journalist and a Czech defense minister fires a head of an institute who dared to confirm the production of Novichok in his institute.

Chris Hedges, America’s Last Real Journalist, a profession now owned by propagandists hired by interest groups to tell their lies, gives us reason to think—Are Israelis God’s Chosen People or Satan’s Genocidal Racist Psychopaths?
There is little doubt that Israel has the most totally evil government that has ever existed on Earth. But before you hate every Jew, notice that the film, “Killing Gaza,” Hedges is describing that so exactly describes Israel’s crimes against humanity was made by two Jews. Some Jews have an extremely high moral consciousness, whereas most Israelis seem to have no moral conscience whatsoever. The Trump government is aligned with the Israeli govetnment that has no moral conscience against the Jews and the rest of humanity who do. Does anyone on earth really believe, for example, that Natanyahu has a moral conscience?
Watch the film, “Killing Gaza,” and see if you can find any semblance of a moral conscience in the Israeli government. Support this film. It is very important for the moral consciousness of mankind, which is the only factor that prevents nuclear war.
The unambiguous absence of morality in the Israeli government is why Putin’s invitation to the greatest immoralist of them all, Netanyahu, to be an honored guest at the Russian celebration of victory over Germany in WW II has done such damage to Putin’s and Russia’s reputation. Russia fought the genocidal Nazis and now honors with presidential invitations the genocidal Netanyahu whose policy is genocide for the Palestinians. And for Syria. And for Iran.

I’m relaying this mainly because others here might be interested, as there’s been a lot of discussion about this, including a fair amount of consternation at Putin’s presumed “refusal” to provide Syria with more advanced anti-aircraft systems.
Really.
Since the Russian ambassador to Israel recognise the pre-emminence of Israeli national security take it as good reason why the SAA have neither control of S300 nor S400 and why hope they get S500 as a figment of checkmate Bibi imagination.

Thank you, Paul Craig Roberts.
PCR has whined that VVP is just short of blind, deaf, and dumb because he doesn’t “react” to provocations, often obvious traps set to show what a tyranical dictator he is. When I objected to what I read as as an insult to Putin’s awareness and even intelligence, I was instructed by somebody over at a nearby table to “Calm down,” basically because Paul Craig Roberts is one of the good guys (which, for sure, he seems to be). So here I link to a recent essay, which admits that VVP “just might” be doing something right, after all. PCR, whose writing I like very much by the way, is due his credit for this; and I am more than willing to give it to him.
Slow down your mind a bit, Paul Craig, and watch and listen for a bit. Think back over the results of all that “no action” that you and others are so fast to criticize. Perhaps you will see a pattern, notice a trend.
As nasty a thing as it is to watch, the evil ones are eating themselves alive; and the caravan moves on.

Comrade V. Grossman writes commentary from Berlin…a newsletter. Interesting man, now quite elderly but still strong-willed.
“The danger of direct confrontation between two major world powers in Syria intensified. Both control thousands of atomic weapons, mostly with very thin triggers. The Middle East expert of the International Crisis Group in Brussels, Heiko Wimmen, said: “We are getting closer to the brink.” With the Donald-Bibi love-knot holding tight, both are hunting for chances to hoist war banners, evoke patriotic unity and thus keep their very shaky thrones. And now the Gaza shootings –and the Jerusalem embassy provocation! My thoughts return involuntarily to Kilauea – and Hiroshima.”
