Comment by Peter J.Antonsen
” P.S. Balkans will be stable and secure only when a Balkan Federation or some kind of economic/political/military pact between Bulgarians, Serbians (in the grand meaning of that, like Yugoslavians), FYROMians, Romanians and Grecians comes in existence.”
Agreed.
I. The Germans could not attack Russia without first destroying Yugoslavia and neutralizing their Serbian cousins.
In 1940, for the Axis, (Fascist Germany and Italy) to dominate South East Europe, and enable them to attack Russia, is was necessary for them to break up and occupy the Balkan nations. The fascist imperialists had to destroy Yugoslavia, which stood in their path, and by its existence, blocked the Southern approach and prevented any attack on Russia.

II. The Americans cannot not attack Russia without first destroying Yugoslavia and neutralizing their Serbian cousins.
In 1990, the Zionist American Fascists once more destroyed Yugoslavia. The planned atomization of the Ballkan peoples weakened their natural resistance to outside political and economic domination, — and opened the road for the expansion of Zio-American NATO and future invasion of the Kievan Ukraine, (where Russia was born).
III. Historic Pattern: First destroy Yugoslavia – Next attack Russia.
A. Economic Sanctions: are an act of War.
1. After the absorption (some might write – liquidation) of the Ukraine, it has to become a staging area for surrounding, and, future direct attacks upon Russia. It is the imperialist triggered confrontation over the fate of the Russian population of the Ukraine, that has enabled their Oligarchs to institute a whole range of (new) Economic (as well as military), Sanctions against Russia.
2. The latest version of the economic sanctions against Russia is the attempt to completely Divorce Russia from all economic connection to Europe and the Americas.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) of the imperialists has just ruled that (essentially) no nation need repay its Debts to Russia. Their first ruling was that their Ukraine Junta need not honor their contractual commitments with Russia. They can hold onto the $3 Billion loan from Russia, and never repay it. By translation, the Zionist American Oligarchs will support any nation that wishes to renege on its contractual obligations to repay Russian loans. Therefore, Russia is as cut off from the lifeblood, of world human and economic commerce, with the rest of the planet, as is the Moon. A Death Sentence by any other name.
How will Russia do business now? By Barter? You give us 1000 Oranges, and we will give you a Tank?
China, might be the next to receive this treatment, if it allies with Russia, rather than come over to the Dark side.
3. This ruling by the Zionist American IMF, (as I wrote on this forum some 2 weeks ago), as completely separates Russia from Europe and America, and most of the rest of the world, as a Direct Declaration of War. Imagine, a husband and wife being told they can no longer have sexual relations. What effect do you think that order might have on their marriage?
In military terms, The IMF ruling is the real body blow, and the downing of the Russian bomber, a mere jab.
The Road to Freedom – is through a VISION.
Yours or mine; it does not matter, as long as it is well thought out, and contains some love.
1. The Russian leaders must uphold their Republic and imprison their Oligarchs!
2. They must show some empathy for the growing Resistance in Europe, beginning with that in France. If Vladimir Putin can manage to say some positive things about that American counter-insurgent agent, Donald Trump, then what is his problem with noting the far more principled courage of the Le Pens and their National Front?
Is he aware of the Zionist turn in his media, and Russian foreign policy? It is not about Jews; it is about right and wrong; it is about the Vision, without which, as explained in Orwell’s “1984,” there is no hope or possibility for a happy future. Tolkien’s forces of Good triumph because of the courage (and human vision) of the ‘little’ Hobbits.
Ha ha!!!
Brilliant comment by Mr. Antonsen. (Except one small thing: Putin’s public support for Marine Le Pen would actually only undermine her chances in the elections.)
The key sentence is this: ”
_____________________________________________________________________
China, might be the next to receive this treatment, if it allies with Russia, rather than come over to the Dark side. ”
________________________________________________________________________
It is now all about China, really.
The worst case scenario would be: Russia vs. the rest of the world. In that case, I absolutely support the nuclear war. And Russia should hit first, as Putin said recently.
Former CIA Agent: They gave us millions to dismember Yugoslavia!

dear saker, dear readers
First, I want to apologize for my english… I rarely write in english.
as a french reader, I have to explain you why IMO Mr Putin don’t show some empathy with the Front National.
FN is part of the global domanation system, they’re fake resistants, in fine they play for the US.
they are usefull for sullying any idea of soverainity, disgusting young people from french symbols (especially young people from north african immigration): Jeanne d’arc, french flag, la Marseillaise, etc. in fact, they never vrote in their programs our withdrawal from UE.. they want an other europe, like every MSM politic party here. (it’s impossible to change a sigle line from european treaty without any unanimity, and with 28 players, it’s mathematically impossible) but sometimes says like so, then says someting scandalous, race-think, or else, then receive a media bashing… it’s a sad game.
after 40 years and an over mediatisation, they never reach 15% of the registred voters.
don’t forget the nazi ask France for 700 000 jews and received about 70 000… FN is not our story.
No, but there is one real french party and his name is UPR, Union Populaire Républicaine.
never heard about UPR?
who says: lets go out of UE and € with art 50, it’s legal, out of NATO with art 13, it’s legal.
let’s take back our borders, our economy from ECB, our laws from Brussels, our foreign policy from Washington. it’s clear, it’s written and this the core rules of this National Liberation Movement, forgetting for a time the right-left struggle, rejecting extremism from both sides.
this movement is 8 year old and is TOTALLY BLACK LISTED by MSM. nowhere you can read about them in french medias. this is why you don’t know about them
the fact is that we are under occupation and the destruction of France is on the way, between TAFTA and eurorégions, with young leaders or zionists everywhere in french medias and politics.
UPR rise from 7000 members in february to 10 000 this december, 200 000 voters last election (under emergency state, without electoral campain, with forbiden meetings and no MSM at all (neither press nor TV). the only opinions in TV news werent for the system ones (FN, LR, PS and the “others europe”)).
Mr Putin know that and send UPR a high rank ambassady member this summer, during the summer university.
UPR delegation was in moscow for the 70th victory parade, was in crimea this summer, noticed the US coup in Ukraine and the danger of the situation in Syria… but can not reach ordinary citizen’s mind due to total MSM blockade.
fighting here the Washington story telling about Russia, I have to adress you this explanation
FN is a trap
best regards from France
Your English is fine Tonton.
I’ve watched FN closely and my conclusion is the same as yours. I believe FN is a tool of the French deep state. These things are highly subjective but the last straw, for myself, was just after the Paris false flag. Marine Le Pen called for militarization and generally followed a line favourable to NATO-Gladio and reiterated numerous Zionist divide and conquer talking points.
And she had NOTHING to say about the nearly immediate imposition of a French patriot act.
@Peter
Peter, I always read your comments and appreciate your many creative ideas. I agree with most of your points except those concerning FN.
Russia has its own objectives of course but it treats FN like an enemy —
As far as their surface rhetoric is concerned, Russia should be FN’s best friend. They’re not because they understand Le Pen is a puppet of their very worst enemies.
FN is NATO.
You will never get an opportunity to vote for sanity and independence in any so-called democracy. The word is completely meaningless when applied to mass social institutions.
Democracy is a marketing gimmick. It gives people the feeling they’ve approved of decisions made of, for and by Zionist fascists. How many times must we be fooled before we finally begin to understand the game is always rigged?
It is the anarchists who are the most important foundation of any proper resistance to illegitimate authority. If their voting for pre selected candidates like all other sheeple then we are really too far gone to bother.
We need to follow the spirit of Durrutti, not of a whoring politician like Marine Le Pen.
Tonton, & C I eh?
Merci, for your comments, that were most kind, and totally honest.
The major parts of my unpolished & brief missive – concerns the dangers that the destruction of Yugoslavia and the corresponding dispersal of the Serbian people (committed by the Zionist American imperialists), pose for Russia.
Now for the fun!

I will number this for clarity:
1. Here is “RT News” featuring a veritable Love Affair between Russian President Vladimir Putin, and American pro-Zionist Imperialist and furious anti Arab and anti Islam demagogue, Oligarch- Donald Trump, and you draw the line at Marine Le Pen and her National Front.
2. Head Clown Trump’s assigned mission is to create interest in and political cover for the upcoming American Electoral Circus of 2016. America must insist (in the court of brainwashed public opinion) that it is a ‘democracy.’ Trump will draw the rubes to the voting booths, and help stir up interest in the phony show, the where corrupt Politician and War Criminal, and trusted servant, Hilary Clinton, will be -anointed- to the position of American spokesperson (unconstitutional President), for the Zionist Oligarchs.
3. Putin, and the Zionist Russian media, pump-(the word we use in America) for Trump, but have not a word for the Le Pens, not for the father, nor for the Daughter. The French Zionist American government is busy repressing the Le Pens, as they repress Dieudonné and Soral, and other less known political movements.
http://www.france24.com/en/20151221-france-national-front-le-pen-campaign-funds-allegations
Why?
Why is the French Government doing that? A clear explanation would be helpful.
Are these indictments frame ups? Why repress the national front if they are no threat to the French State, and to the Zionist Americans?
Why do not they reward the Le Pens?
Do we support the French Zionist American imperialist Government repression of their opposition, (even if it is compromised and will sell out as did Greece’s Syriza)?
If Trump was repressed by phony American government frame ups, would, even, he deserve any defense?
Are the 6.8 million French citizens who voted for the Le Pens to be denied their rights? The Le Pens speeches voiced support for Russia in Syria, and the Mistral sale, (as do others in the French opposition). Their speeches are accessible over the internet.
*Is this the Key to your position? “Democracy is a marketing gimmick”
If “Democracy is a marketing gimmick” – what is your political alternative? Hero worship? Dictatorship of the proletariat? Monarchy?
French citizens might criticize Marine Le Pen, but to silently allow the puppet French Oligarchs to hang her, and her father, and Dieudonné, and Soral, which will enable the Oligarchs to rig the 2017 Presidential election, would be an immoral act.
At all times:
Solidarity with all victims!
March together under separate banners!
For the Democratic Republics: the ones we have, the ones we will save, the ones we will restore, and the ones we will forge!
The reason for suppressing a “dissident” is the same everywhere: You build credibility with the suckers. If the KGB, DGSE, FBI, or the internal security apparatus for any major country wanted to actually suppress somebody, it would get awfully ugly awfully quickly.
Obviously, there is another kind of suppression, the kind Dieudonne or Soral face, which is cutting off their oxygen supply in terms of income and hassling them so much that average people don’t want to get involved and pay the price. But when was the last time Marine Le Pen was brought in for questioning about tax crimes? Or had an actual smear job on her? (Not a fake divide-and-rule promoting smear job?)
Some timeless wisdom from one of the masters: “The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.”
@ P. Antonsen, ” TonTon Bob: The FN was set up by Le Pen (pere) and financed by the socialists under Mitterand to undermine the french conservatives. Tonton Bob is right in his analysis. The Front nationale, being a front, is currently kowtowing to the jewish lobby to make themselves an acceptable alternative face of mainstream politics. the problem with this is that they have outgrown their masters, have outgrown their purpose and are currently a danger to the mainstream les Republicains (former UMP) and governing socialists under the catastrophic Hollande.
It is a pity to see France, a very imperfect country with its contradictions and proud of these (see their colonial history in Africa and the current CFA franc setup by which , like the petrodollar they still have shackled the African Countries), losing its autonomy and particularities to simply become another AZ vassal.
Thanks Tonton for the info about the UPR, I will look them up.
ElRius
@Tonton Bob, your English is fine.
Really glad that you are providing the facts regarding what’s really happening in France as opposed to the wishful thinking of some people. – Interesting that Russia sent an official ambassadorial representative to UPR and no one here, at this blog, knows about it.
Excellent comment by Tonton Bob. Unlike like outsiders who idealize and exaggerate these fake opposition “fronts” like Nation Front, you, who live in France, can speak/read the language and, from regular exposure to Le Pen and her dupes, can sift out their inconsistencies and lies.
People it’s called National “Front”, “Front Nationale”, they’re literally telling you to your face that it’s a “Front” organization but some of you refuse to see it because of a sad need to believe in your own fantasies: look they’re laughing at the clueless anglo-speaking foreign fanboys of Nation Front by even telling you to your face it’s just a “Front”, a facade, a fake, a puppet). This is part of the sick humor of the elites: to advertise their deeds to a dumbed down public and then laugh at them when it still flies right over their heads (it makes them feel superior and re-validates their contempt for the public as dumb livestock).
the official ambassadorial representative send to UPR was Alexei Nicolaïevitch KOVALSKI
sorry, there is no translation but in french, here is the “table ronde” about the futur of franco-russian relations.

best regards from France
Tonton – Marine Le Pen in is pro-UKUSA , anti Russian, pro NATO-EU.
The rest is acting.
I also would consider that Putin does not openly support FN because it is against his principle to support racism. You have to understand that Russia has many ethnicities (more than 100 languages) and religions (10-15% are Muslim, many Buddhists and Jews).
A Russia that only supports the white Christian majority is bound to disintegrate at some point.
He probably would talk to anyone including FN, but I doubt that he supports their general vision for the future.
Putins policies look to me like that of a liberal although the difference between him and Western liberals is that he doesn’t sacrifice the right of the majority to keep and cultivate their own tradition, culture and religion to appease the minority.
happy to finally read some sense in the comment section of thesaker about the LePen .
I wonder if Farage in UK is the same kind of fake opposition that the FN is in France .
In a way he seems to be a look alike with his questionable immigration stance making him easy to criticize and to amalgamate to thing like getting out of UE and racism or approving Russia stance and being racist.
But in another way i never saw any of the Lepen say the obvious truth like Farage does in the European Parliament.
I think it is of great importance that blog like the saker speak of this issue and inform those that read it about what the FN really is.
Too many people are being duped and place their hopes in big lie that will never happen.
Ivan, Espelho, Crazy Natoist, Touton, Harry Potter, Elrius,
Response of a “wishful thinking” person:
“I also would consider that Putin does not openly support FN because it is against his principle to support racism.” – Ivan
But he supports Donald trump??? Trump is famous for his extreme racist views.
Try this for an eye opener.

What is Vladimir Putin doing with Trump and Netenyahoo?
All victims of Zionist American imperialism deserve defense. Trump, is doing just fine. However, it appears the Le Pens, Jean Marie, as well as Marine, and Dieudonné, and Soral, will be under continual French Zionist government attack until the Presidential election of 2017. I guess that is fine with you?
So the French Government attacks on the Le Pens are not real? The attacks are “window dressing”, (another American expression), not real? Can you carefully check on that, and let us know if the Zionist French Socialists are only harassing the National Front to build up their credibility? Or does the French government intend real damage to the Le Pens and their NF?
I believe Elrius is closer to the truth on just why the French government are attacking the National Front’s leaders. ” the problem with this is that they have outgrown their masters, have outgrown their purpose and are currently a danger to the mainstream les Republicains (former UMP) and governing socialists under the catastrophic Hollande.”
I do not know about you, but I support that “danger.” In America, Rand Paul, unlike his father, also attempted to conciliate with the Zionist Oligarchs. He went, (as do the rest of the American Congress), and donned a Yamaka, and prayed at the ‘Wailing Wall’ in Jerusalem. Senator Rand Paul conciliates, and also wishes to become President. He is, nevertheless, routinely bashed by the mainstream media. I have been in his office; left him a note; don’t know if he read it, but would defend him against US Government slander, despite the fact that he -pulled a Marine Le Pen (as we say in America).
Ron Paul still loves his son; but if you go to his website, you will find no pandering.
Guys: I’ll defer to your French, if you defer to my Brooklyn.
My preference in the USA is -Ron Paul, Ralph Nader, Noam Chomsky, Joan Baez, Cynthia McKinney (interviewed by the Saker), Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning (life sentence in prison), Assange (life sentence in the Ecuadorian embassy in London), among others. Unlike me, none of the above are perfect, (like me), but they do their best.
My politics are closest to Alain Soral, and his Equality & Reconciliation effort.
What will you – French citizens do – for the French Presidential elections in 2017? Any plans?
Alternate Government electoral effort – here in the USA -2016.
Why do you think Putin “supports” Trump? He was asked during the 4 hour interview session what he thinks of Trump and stated that he is a competent and intelligent man (obviously, he wouldn’t be rich otherwise) and that he is leading in all polls. (truth)
As he understands Trump doesn’t view Russia as an enemy and he reflected on that positively as well. (why wouldn’t he?)
Aside from that Trump is hardly a racist. He says that Americans are hated all around the world, particularly by Muslims and that the US must do something against it, at least controlling the borders and do better background checks on Muslims that enter the country. He wouldn’t let Muslims in from areas that are currently controlled by Terrorists (Syria, Lybia, Iraq).
Western liberals might not like that, but it is still not racism, no matter how often repeated. Contrast that with Le Pen that talks of Muslims as being a problem just because they are Muslims.
For FN the Muslims in general want to out breed and submit France to Sharia law, which is idiotic. Yes there are many Muslims that want that and don’t want to be part of Western society, but there’s exactly a 0% possibility that this can happen.
Also, Trump deals in business and in private with many Muslims successfully, he has no fear of being shown with them whatsoever.
But I agree with you on this one: The way the French elite attacks FN and Le Pen is an attack on democracy itself and the French society should not allow this to happen.
I just sent out two eamils on this on Saturday to illustrate how rotten the corporate media is in reporting things honestly:
——————–
Yarka, BTW, means bright, brilliant, vibrant — it is the name of the art supply company I bought paint and chalk from years back.
See what Putin really said in response to the question — it was not an endorsement.
http://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2015/dec/17/vladimir-putin-praises-bright-talented-donald-trump-video
Speaking after his annual press conference in Moscow on Thursday, Vladimir Putin tells media that he welcomes comments by US presidential candidate Donald Trump on the deepening of relations with Russia. Earlier, during a question and answer session, the Russian president was asked what he thought about the US presidential race, and said he was ready to work with whomever the American people chose. [This headline on this article was amended on 18 December 2015. An earlier version quoted Putin as saying “bright and talented”. To clarify: the word he used was “yarkii” (яркий), which can mean bright or brilliant, but not in the sense of intelligent; it can also be translated as colourful, vivid or flamboyant.]
If you look at the video with the translation Putin also said it’s not up to us to decide — it’s up to the American voters.
He also said Trump wants to move to better relations with Russia how could we not welcome that?
——————————-
http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2015/12/heres-what-vladimir-putin-really-said-about-donald-trump-today
LA Times reporter Michael Hiltzik has spent time reporting from Russia and speaks the language well. Via email, he offers this explanation of what Vladimir Putin really said about Donald Trump today:
From what I can hear from the video you posted, he calls Trump a “yarkom chelovekom.” In my dictionary, “yarkii” can be “clear, bright, dazzling.” You sometimes hear Russians using the term to denote the bright sky of a bracing, clear morning.
Brilliant I think would be wrong to the extent it connotes intelligence—that’s not what Putin’s driving at. Outstanding is a pretty lazy translation. Bright personality captures the meaning, but not the idiomatic tone, of the word. Very colorful is downplaying the real meaning.
I’d go with something like vivid. The word also could mean garish, but I think Putin was trying to be complimentary, and garish would be criticism.
I’d guess that the reason all the translations agree on “talented” is that —though I can’t hear it in the clip—Putin probably used “talantlivii,” which is a common Russian adjective, stolen from the French.
So Putin was probably just trying to say that Trump is a big personality. Hiltzik says—and I agree—that Putin wasn’t especially trying to say anything either good or bad about Trump—though knowing Putin, it’s a good guess that he approves of big personalities. Basically, he was just trying to state the obvious about Trump. In any case, there you have it.

Here’s RT
https://www.rt.com/usa/326328-trump-russia-putin-relations/
Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised Donald Trump for wanting deeper ties with Moscow and described him as the “absolute front-runner in the presidential race.” Putin, however, said he was ready to work with whoever becomes the next US president.
“He is a very flamboyant man, very talented, no doubt about that… He is the absolute leader of the presidential race, as we see it today. He says that he wants to move to another level of relations, to a deeper level of relations with Russia. How can we not welcome that? Of course we welcome it,” Putin said during his traditional end-of-year Q&A session with journalists.
The Russian president however refrained from commenting on Trump’s pre-election rhetoric.
Everything that is related to “issues of internal politics – the rhetoric he uses for propping up his popularity,” are not a matter of concern to Russia. “It’s not our business to assess his work in this respect.”
Earlier, in the same Q&A session, Putin had said he was prepared to work with whoever turns out to be victorious in the US presidential election in 2016. He added that despite the differences the two countries may have, they also share many common interests.
“We will work with any American head of state the American people elect. Our cooperation is not with a particular person but with a nation, a big and powerful international player,” the Russian president said in an interview on April 18.
While the majority of Democrat and Republican candidates have been laying into Russia, Trump has taken a different tone, saying he wants to work with Moscow if he is elected.
“I think that I would probably get along with him very well,” Trump said of Putin in an October interview with CNN. “And I don’t think you’d be having the kind of problems that you’re having right now.”
[…]
Regarding Netanyahu:
When looking at where Russias military is currently operating it should not be a surprise that Russia will of course talk with the Israelis. He invited Erdogan to Moscow even though he knew that he supported ISIS to prevent conflicts.
Also keep that in mind: 25% of the Israeli population are Russian citizens. No matter where Russia stands in regards to the Israeli – Arab conflict – they will try to keep that state viable by encouraging a peaceful solution. And even if Arabs are in the right, Russia will still protect its citizens.
“Putins policies look to me like that of a liberal although the difference between him and Western liberals is that he doesn’t sacrifice the right of the majority to keep and cultivate their own tradition, culture and religion to appease the minority.”
An even greater difference between Putin and Western liberals is that he abhors the latters’ overt satanism dedicated to greed, depravity, war, genocide, and ecocide. How dare he defy their angelic tolerance?
Well said.
Germany too has its fair share of new controlled opposition parties/ nonprofit organisations:
– the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland), right-wing, featured constantly in the CIA-press, and
– PEGIDA, the ‘Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the Occident’. The name says it all. Even more heavily promoted by State-sponsored TV channels and the CIA-press.
Go figure.
These words here are wise, they are true, they are our future if we intend to continue to exist as we will have to work very hard to remain not extinct!
The first war of aggression by Western powers against Slavic peoples was in the 8th century:
http://www.lagis-hessen.de/img/ga/s3/14.jpg
The first Western sanctions against Slavic peoples were imposed in 805:
” 805, December 24: Charlemagne prohibited in Diedenhofener Kapitular, a royal assembly, the arms trade with Slavic peoples. Along the “Slav border” that stretches from Lüneburg Bardowick to Lorch in Linz Land, all cities will be asked: “That they do not export arms and Brünnen (Panzer, JW) for sale”.”
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&tl=en&u=https://www.jungewelt.de/2015/12-19/064.php
“The Nazis legitimated their plans for a European New Order with heavily emphasised allusions to Charlemagne. The post war image of Charlemagne as ,,Unifier of the Christian West” was preceded by his Nazi portrayal as ,,Unifier of the German tribes”. Charlemagne was compared with Hitler, his Reich, Greater Germany. The Nazis identified his policy with the Germanocentric New Order of Europe and cited his campaign against the ,,hunnish” Avars in support of their war of annihilation in the East.”
http://german-foreign-policy.com/en/fulltext/38362
And how do you include in your theory that Charlemagne (Charles the Great) killed tens of thousands of Germanic Saxons?
It seems to to me that see medivial times with the eyes of the 19th and 20th century.
I did not propose a theory. Those facts on the methods used by Western powers to wipe out and enslave Slavic peoples are only an amendment for the article. They are self-explanatory.
The genocide of Charlemagne against the Saxons doesn’t change those facts. By the way, the term “Germanic” is only a word invented by the Romans for all kinds of different peoples with different languages, religions and history. The Saxons had thier own language, history and non-Christian religion, too. The Saxon survivors of the genocide perpetrated by Charlemagne only became part of the “Germanic people” by submission and forced Germanization.
This statement is quite ridiculous:
“Therefore, Russia is as cut off from the lifeblood, of world human and economic commerce, with the rest of the planet, as is the Moon. A Death Sentence by any other name.
How will Russia do business now? By Barter? You give us 1000 Oranges, and we will give you a Tank?”
Who stopped Russia to perform trading with other countries in national currencies (after a swap) and why the author thinks that the SWIFT system has any obligations towards Russia ?
If the Russian leadership didn’t understand until know that they are at war and targeted for destruction, I think it’s their problem and not the western problem. The westerners seem quite smart in their cynical actions, while the Russians act like some little kids who are being kicked out from the neighborhood. Stop whining and crying.
You can’t beg for love ad infinitum, show some dignity and cut your losses. Stop selling your raw resources and build final products. Arrest Nabiulina and get the Central Bank under the control of the nation and under the control of BIS from Basel.
What a cheap masquerade, I don’t know what to believe anymore.
RT, Sputnik and ITAR-TASS show very little meaningful news about life in Russia. I can’t really figure out how is it to live over there, life in Russia it’s mystery inside an enigma. In fact, mostly very bad and demoralizing news from Russia are presented on those websites between plentry of news about USA and West. As if we don’t have thousands of website where we can read about what is going on in Chicago or Florida; people need to find out about that from Sputnik; what a joke is slowly becoming that website.
Most people writing there (and here, too) don’t even live in Russia and many are not even Russians. So why should we believe what they write ?
Why is this website hosted in Iceland and not in Russia ?
I am with you MD, the lack of dignity will kill Russia at the end, they have already lost EUROPE.
What do you mean that they lost Europe? When? When did they ever have Europe?
I meant the former Eastern Block countries like East Germany … etc , and former Yugoslavia, and Ukraine. Look how everything has change today. It’s gonna be even worse, they already harass Russia by denying air space. Circle of people in EU might adore Putin, but sanctions has been extended regardless.
@ MD and Bonaparte,
Your comments are very poignant. there are thousands of websites that address the Russian world (and it is a whole civilizational sphere). unluckily, you need to read Cyrillic to access those. If I were to advise the kremlin on soft power projection, it would be to have their famous army of trolls translating those websites and helping the admins of these websites offer french, English, Arabic and Portuguese versions of their websites rather than commenting on yahoo or focusing entirely huge budgets on guest speakers on RT, Sputnik and Tass.
PS. I mention the army of trolls as a tongue in cheek comment….
ElRius
You are totally right there. And which is why I wrote a long time ago about making more of their movies subtitled or even making joint-English movies for the World to see more about the real Russia instead of all the negative scenes Hollywood provides about Russia. An information “war” is like any other war.You fight it to win it. Not play around with it.
Perhaps OT, but in the first map above, the so-called “Kosovo” is presented as a separate entity from Serbia. In fact, and according to the UNSC Resolution 1244, Kosovo and Metohija are still a part of Serbia.
Good point.
The Khazar Klan is hitting Russia below the belt. Worse, kicking her balls. For a womam that’s her belly, the center of her economy. The Khazars are traders turned traitors.
Elvira Nabiullina should feel it. And men with balls should feel how she feels it. The vineyard needs to send the Kremlin a Mercury message: stop playing Russian Roulette for the entertainment of the Khazar Kaiser.
I should talk. No, I should walk my talk. Be a man. Grow some. I don’t take interest on my money. Hey, Russ, wake up. If I can do it, you can. Get out of the usury racket while you can. You’ll get a moral morale boost to the moon first when the phony US landing is revealed.
Russ, you’ve got to stop playing footsy with those dancing shows. Like the man said, it’s the same old dance. Your dancing partners ain’t in it for the romance.
Patriarchy’s got more moves than the movies. Watch the footwork or you’ll be faked out by the head feint.
What am I trying to say or trying to not say? Nationalize the banks. What have you got to lose? The oilerarchs? They’re not your friends anyway. The only friend you have is the land, and if you keep treating her like dirt you’re gonna lose your skirt.
I’m just an old fool so unless you need a court jester from the old school don’t pay me no mind. But do mind your business, not theirs. Sovereignty, remember.
Tonight is the low point sun-wise in the North. Like Siberia where the days are nights. This is Nature’s swing day between the old and new year. In The Love Government Calendar tomorrow is the New Year’s Day. Rise and shine like the sun, Russ. It’s now or never, my friend.
It’s still a bi-polar world. The sun rides high in the South and is a low-rider in the North. A multi-polar world is a dream that could turn into a nightmare. We need a Super Polar World with a non-locality Love.
Oh Russ, I love you so much I’m losing what little mind I thought I had. If I was a womam you’d be in danger. You said I had old-timer’s disease. You should know. You’re a thousand years old and still can’t pick a decent partner.
Oh I forgot. I’m in a public vineyard with moderator cameras that can tell if a pin drops or if my second hand stops.
See ya next year in nature’s time, all you vineyard saker-seekers, celebrating the natural new year’s eve with that sweet red wine of love. Hey I’m dionysian too from which dennis drives. If I wan’t so full of myself I’d be running on empty without you all.
Take more water with it.
They keep deleting this footage and others keep upload it..
Most incredible footage of action I ever seen.. The Toyota pickup provided by the US state department to the terrorists were taken by Hezbollah soldiers who captured the town and killed hundreds of rodents.. When some rodent in the grain silos across the highway shot an American made TOW missile at them..
Wonderful video of the discipline and control of Hezbollah soldiers.. Remember this is real life.. a split second decision means life or death.. Nothing like it is a good day to die..
Incredible, SAA car dodged a ATGM 9M14 “Malyutka” in Khan Touman, Aleppo. https://youtu.be/dCKXqn1WOtU

HA delete this… RT put it up….
Balls of steel: Driver calmly dodges TOW missile headed straight for his pick-up
A driver had a narrow escape and showed impressive calmness under pressure, when he dodged an incoming TOW missile. The person behind the wheel, waited patiently for the rocket to approach, before moving the vehicle out of the way… and to safety.
It is hard not to panic when death is staring you in the face. Capable of destroying a tank, TOW missiles can cause some serious damage. It is believed the person in the white pickup truck is a Hezbollah fighter, due to a yellow flag seen near the car, while it is also alleged the incident took place in Syria though it is not clear when.
Fired from some distance away, he could see the rocket bearing down on his vehicle and knew he had to act fast.
The man was certainly in a quandary – if he attempted to drive away too soon, the guided missile would have just changed its course. Therefore he waited till the very last minute before driving forward a few meters and the missile hit a near-by structure.

Hezbollah TV just aired what it says will of Samir Kantar asking Nasrallah not to avenge his killing & be drawn to ” Israel trap” Syria
Nasrallah says Hezbollah to avenge Kuntar at ‘Appropriate Time, Place’
The Iranian flag inside the Palestinian map? Really?
I say to the US, Israel and their allies – “Do what you want, you will not be able to eliminate our memory”
To be enemy of US is something we are proud of, we understand we are at war & tactics they use
We are on the right side. Those on the US side must rethink their position
the preoccupation of the US administration with us makes us certain that we are right-that we on the right front, the right axis
We are just resistance groups, we don’t need such things, between us & God we are innocent from those accusations
I hold #Israel responsible for the assassination of Samir #Kuntar, says #Hezbollah SG #Nasrallah
Samir is one of us. Its our right to retaliate in the appropriate way and we will do it.
Funeral of Samir Kuntar, #Hezbollah leader Nasrallah will speak in 2 hours regarding the assassination
https://twitter.com/sayed_ridha/status/678977672764985344
“… will of Samir Kantar asking Nasrallah not to avenge his killing & be drawn to Israel trap”
I am glad to hear that. Kantar’s assassination has zero military relevance and is therefore nothing but an Israeli provocation aimed at disrupting the SAA / Russia / Hezbollah / Iranian Republican Guard team-up that has worked so remarkably so far.

The Race for Syria’s Northern Border
If Damascus – or the Kurds – secures the last stretch of Syria-Turkey border it’s game over for Ankara’s influence in Syria
Meanwhile, what passes for the Obama administration’s “strategy” is more slippery than a Japanese eel. US Think Tank land interprets it as an “effort” to “de-conflict the battlefield” even as the main NATO planks acting in Syria (US, UK, France, Germany, plus Turkey) gear up for an alleged “large offensive” against Islamic State (ISIS). “Alleged” because the whole op involves prime shadow play. And “de-conflict” could rather mean “re-conflict.”
Spin me a coalition Pepe Escobar
The current shadow play – which includes the deployment of US Special Forces to northern Syria – opens the possibility that Turks and Americans are about to launch a major offensive to expel Islamic State from the crucial Jarabulus crossroads. Erdogan’s pretext is well known: to block by any means the attempt by YPG Syrian Kurds to unite their three cantons in northern Syria. In this corridor, Erdogan wants to install a dodgy, hazy bunch of Turkmen – his proxies – mixed with unspecified Sunni “moderate rebels,” keeping all lines of communication (and smuggling) with Turkey open.
Syrian Kurds, on the other hand, want to get there first. With American air support. And with Russian air support. This is one of the few things Team Obama and the Kremlin do agree on in Syria – to the absolute despair of the Sultan.
Riyadh’s – and Ankara’s – belief that a small bunch of Salafi-jihadist, from whatever persuasion, would be able to disrupt such a complex balance, not to mention rule a whole nation, does defy any logical explanation.
The break for the border
So everything now hinges on the break for the border. Syrian Kurds have been loudly announcing something along the lines that “Real Kurds go to Jarabulus.” Jarabulus is, in a nutshell, Turkey’s last stand in Syria (the Russian Air Force has all but exterminated the Turkmen fight column in northern Latakia).
http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/syria-border-break/ri11960
The risk with supporting Trump and Le Pen is that it can backfire on both Trump and Le Pen because the western media has demonized Putin and Russia. Probably it is best to stay back.
Yes, it’s about controlling energy, energy supplies, and everything which can be controled in general, people included. Anglozionists and their agents thought they could steal Russian natural resources during the Jewish theft of the 90s in Russia, and subsequently forced their will through EU regulatory measures, but they couldn’t. Russians didn’t even have to resort to nationalizing stolen properties by those sneaky Western thieves, although it would have of course greatly help the cause, and not to mention bring the justice to the Russian people from whom those Western thieves picked as their victim. One should hope Russian people get their justice and all what is stolen from them gets returned, which is why you always have to have Jews under your thumb: for if you don’t, you will end up without everything. Btw Americans forced Poles to accept Qatari LNG gas which is 2,5x more expensive than the Russian gas. Poles didn’t even object. Too dumb. They don’t seem to have learned anything since 1939 when they were used as useful idiots by the Anglozionists. They seem to be all too happy to be their idiots.
Dutch, your info about GLONASS and GPS is totally incorrect. Both those navigation systems were created for military purposes, and you don’t have to be smart to know that having 20-70 meter inaccuracy makes those systems useless, and drain on resources. GLONASS and horizontal positional accuracy within 5-10 meters, and vertical within 15 meters, and that was before year 2000. after which modernization have started. The same is true for GPS. You think US Army would be so heavily using it if its accuracy strayed for 20m? Those missiles would miss their targets. And not to mention the resources American Army has at its disposal for them not be able to send additional satellites and place more stationary ground “receivers” to make it very accurate? This is the info about GLONASS performances: http://www.navipedia.net/index.php/GLONASS_Performances
And you have something on Wikipedia too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLONASS#Accuracy
Somehow from 5-10 meters accuracy Dutch conjured his numbers to be 50-70 meters. :)
GPS has a general purpose level and a military level. The Russians managed to jam the military level function over their territory – more bad news for the Pentagon.

Battle for Aleppo.
As previously, the central battle of the war is the battle for Aleppo.
Southern Front.
The main event of the last days of the battle for Aleppo was the elimination of the ledge at the Al-Carasso. In early December, gunmen stopped the offensive in the northern parts of the province of Hama, and began hastily to shift troops to the south of Aleppo, which allowed them to stabilize the front on the outskirts of Damascus-Aleppo highway and cover the hole to the south of Al-Khader. The attempted counter-offensive to the south-west of Al-Khader and west of Al-Iisa played a positive role in stabilizing the front.
At the same time, the Syrian army, with the support of the Iranian troops regrouped and pulled up reserves resumed the offensive towards the road to Damascus-Aleppo, only now the main goal was cutting ledge at Al Carasso, who was held in the second half of November the militants Al-Nusra. Take Al Carasso straight punches and deal with the north for a long time it was not possible, but in recent days bypassing movement from the south led to the fact that the rebels were forced to flee the city through a tapered neck projection so as not to fall into the pot.
Purification of the projection at the Al Carasso allow the Syrian army free up additional forces for the development of successful south of Aleppo and go on the offensive in the direction of Damascus-Aleppo highway. At the moment, the enemy continues to leave small towns and slowly goes to the track. By the way, it is stated that the Syrians involve the offensive set of the Russian T-90.
In the area Kuveyrisa Caliphate pulling reserves of Raqqa was able to stabilize the front and stop the advance of the Syrian army in the direction dayr hafir, as well as slow down the expansion of the protrusion in the south-east and west directions. The group departed from the Caliphate of Al-Safir strengthened the eastern part of the ridge and rebuilds supply lines, bypassing intersected at Kuveyris Sharqi road.
After an active exchange of blows in the beginning of December, the situation is stabilized. The advent of the Caliphate to Azaz stopped Caliphate, in turn, was able to block offensive Syrian rebels near the border with Turkey returning of the lost territories. Overtures towards the Kurds highway leading to Azaz were as cropped, not least thanks to the assistance provided by Turkey, which is strategically important to keep the road passing through the border Azaz.
In the mountains of Latakia in recent days as very successfully developing offensive Syrian army. If the offensive north of Gmama and west / southwest of Sirmanii as before developing very slowly, and the front near Salma has long standing, in the western regions of Latakia from the Turkish border army continues to clear border areas of the militants by taking a control key height and chopping off lines of supply of local militants. Before operational progress so far away, but a series of small tactical victories have led to a serious advancement of the Syrian army in the province of Latakia. As before, the main purpose of coming attack – overlapping the supply of weapons and fighters from Turkey. Given the complexities of the local theater, it is believed that prior to the beginning of political talks on the future of Syria to solve this problem will hardly, but the progress already made, as well as those that will be achieved in the future will be a major trump card in the hands of Assad in future negotiations.
Tel Aviv has repeatedly made it clear that strengthening Hezbally due to the actions of Russia and Iran in Syria is a serious concern in Israel (for militants Hezbally war in Syria, among other things, is a proving ground for the running of its contingent and receiving the necessary combat experience for the apparent inevitability of new wars + with Israel during the fighting Hezballa gets access to various types of weapons, including tanks (in the form of a fixed T-72, “Abrams”) as well as conventional and rocket artillery.
Currently, the two sides pledged to continue in the same spirit. Hezballa promised cruel revenge, Israel has declared that it will continue to shell southern Lebanon in response to Hezbally. Nothing new here of course not.
Russia has had an agreement with Israel http://news.israelinfo.co.il/politics/59 431 on “legitimate interests of Israel,” and in this case the attack on Kuntar was held in the area of the air defense umbrella that has given rise to talk about that the elimination of Kuntar was agreedstep http://gorskie.ru/news/politic/item/1059 7-ekspert-samir-kuntar-likvidirovan-s-ve doma-rossii But This again Israeli sources abut it. Russian Foreign Ministry had no immediate comment on the incident. Israel also has not officially confirmed that he is dealt a blow by Kuntar. In general, very turbid history.
In the southern parts of Syria is not much change. Parties report on the capture of individual buildings and heights, but the overall configuration of the front is quite a long time does not change and it is necessary to understand the specific prerequisites for change is not. The main forces of the parties involved on other fronts.
Deir ez-Zor
Again, local fights, without significant changes. Caliphate is now frankly not up to the enclave, and the Syrians there is not enough power for the development of large-scale offensive action.
The attack Kurds with US support in the province of Hasaka braked. Announced attack on a stronghold of the Caliphate in Al Shaddad. Kurds now receive additional arms and ammunition, and the US is preparing to intensify air strikes in the north-eastern Syria. Now the province is up to 100-120 US military – Special Forces instructors + + spotters. It is expected the arrival of another 50-100 people. Construction work for airfields close to completion. The works were used as the Kurds and the American engineers. It is expected that the database will be used for the delivery of arms and ammunition to the Syrian Kurds, as possible and for the operations of attack helicopters, which can be deployed in direct support of Hasaka attack Kurds.
In general, the Syrian army continues to maintain the initiative in the battle for Aleppo and Latakia in the mountains. With the development of the negotiation process, gain achievements, not only military but also political significance, since they perform the arguments in the forthcoming negotiations aimed at ending the civil war in Syria, which obviously can not be solved by purely military means because of the high internationalization of the conflict.

Just at look at the picture used by RT and tell me that Russian leadership is not made of fools who don’t realize how RT is very subtly undermining them:
https://www.rt.com/business/326765-putin-free-trade-zone-ukraine/
Another subtle way in which they harm Russia from inside is by presenting a lot of negative news about accidents in failures, and focusing on those with such an insistence.
And we are supposed to think these are the guys who will save the world for us ?
Meanwhile look at how insistent is Russia with keeping control over small countries like Moldova. Their persistence in making sure that small piece of land never gets a chance to reunite with their ancestors is baffling and shocking.

Third Update from the Ramadi battle against ISIS
The Iraqi army have just liberated the Bakr district in Ramadi and have raised the Iraqi flag over several buildings.
It has been revealed that police and Sunni tribes have moved in further to secure positions taken.
“They are moving into the city center,” Col. Steven Warren, the United States military spokesman in Baghdad, said in a brief telephone interview to The New York Post.
“We went into the into the center of Ramadi from different axes, and we started clearing residential areas,” Gen. Sabah al-Numani, a spokesman for the army counterterrorism unit in charge of the offensive, said in a statement. He predicted that “the city will be cleared within the coming 72 hours.”
General Ahmed al-Belawi, the leader of a battalion of Sunni tribal fighters stated: “We are making significant progress to liberate the center soon. The Iraqi and international coalition air force are helping our ground forces to advance quickly. Victory will be announced soon.”
http://www.almasdarnews.com/article/third-update-from-the-ramadi-battle-against-isis/
Unfortunately, it is next to impossible to explain the current events in the world on the level of, so called, “rational mind”. It would be very important to understand what Russian esotericist Gurdjieff meant when he was saying on his lectures, almost 100 years ago, the following:
“Most of people spend whole their lives in a state of sleep. In the state of the sleep, some of them may make themselves busy with science, while others may even write books.”
(What we call our “waking consciousness”, Gurdjieff regarded a sleep worse from the sleep in bed during the night). So, the first step would be to realise that those “sleeping people” are not some other people, but us!
Since I left Bosnia as a refugee in 1992, (after being caught in the war in Croatia, where I was working at that time), I was trying to find out the answer on the question – Why? And you can not find the answer if you do not take seriously conclusions of William Bramley (book the Gods of Eden) who spent years researching the history of human conflicts, i.e. that there was a “third side” in all our conflicts, which operates beyond our perception and which always wins, or at least, until now. Furthermore, one needs to understand, so called, the Fourth way teaching or the Eastern Gnosis (as represented by Gurdjieff, Uspensky and Mouravieff).
So, in order to connect the dots, one must go on, so called, “metaphysical level”. A while ago, I wrote a few articles in English, trying to present the bigger picture. It can be found here: http://soulmindspirit.wordpress.com/
Best regards
No need for metaphysics yet. Gurdjieff’s practice of ringing a bell at various times of the day for people to catch themselves and the “I” they were at the time is a ‘mindfulness’ exercise, like mindfulness meditation, to become more aware and come out the wandering thoughts and subconscious scripts they were likely engaged in. It’s a matter of coordinating the ‘conscious’ with the ‘subconscious’ or self-aware with the ‘sleeping self’, and this is well before one gets into the metaphysical aspects.
Most people with usually react in a knee-jerk fashion to a situation according to their conditioning and indoctrination and never question the underlying assumptions and narrative, games, and scripts, and countering this is a big part of various psychotherapy methods, as well as ‘spiritual’ and Zen practices.
First one has to get the ordinary mind and critical thinking in good shape before venturing on looking for the metaphysical. When you have cleared and developed the mind, and learned a bit neuroscience and psychology (normal and abnormal), then explaining the current world of human affairs is not so difficult.
The “West” will not stop.Capitalism will not stop or it dies. The Bolsheviks knew that….and never forgot it even as Stalin marched them across the tundra to their death in the gulag.
