Very interesting statement by Bezler

Seen this?

Don’t subscribe though.

That posture, that history, the most disciplined of the fighting forces, fought in Afghanistan, Red Star … looks career military but perhaps with hidden talents. Ukraine says GRU, but they would.

(Ukraine says Girkin is GRU, when it is well-established he’s FSB. The FSB is domestic, the GRU abroad. So what to do when some state in FSB or its precursor secedes? What Russia seems to have done is keep the jurisdiction as it always was, so FSB now covers domestic plus all former SU. Ukraine just wants to be defined as “abroad” from Russia.)

Bes seems to have all the attributes of a pro. Remember General Korsun? Bes signed the document on the first page. After the conspiracy was wound up, Bes was credited with leading the operation.

So, they approached Bes and he joined the conspiracy “under cover” and informed Zakharchenko or rumours were circulating and Bes was assigned to infiltrate them. Either way, he looks like he has a natural talent if he’s an amateur.

I like the way it was kept under wraps; a lot of pressure came down when Bes disappeared. Are we finally seeing real discipline?

Great video. But “a united federated Nazi-free Ukraine?” Please, that train has left the station. Total fantasy at this point.

NO, “United federalised Ukraine” is no option anymore. Maybe it was in the spring but not now. The Kiev hunta says no,and even with a regime-change in Kiev I don´t think that Galizia for example can ever co-exist with Donbass. Let´s face it: the east and west of “ukraine” are too different (and now too much blood has been spilled). No, the best solution is Novorossia of eight oblasts + Transniestria + as much of Malorossia as possible, i.e. all land east of the Dniepr, NOT neccessarily including Kiev. The rest is simply too nazified to ever be pro-Russian.

N.

I don’t know if it was here or somewhere else but it was already known the weapons suddenly appearing in donbass came from kiev (in that article it was kolomoisky). It has been speculated for months and it seems to be the truth that “kiev” is funding both sides of this civil war.
Gregoire (I also posted the youtube link)

This is about the 3 or 4th video I watched today with each one has militia in it seeming like they are talking about giving up the fight??? No, I kbow those were not the exact words but it seems the attitude in many today. Did I miss something?

All well and good but for an all encompassing grass roots rebellion make explicit the western state of a federal Ukraine is not Russian aligned. Russia alignment will never play in the West. It is about truly autonomous states under a Ukraine federal banner, no civil war, no blood sucking parasites in power. That is how to unite the people from end to end.

yes seen it thank you, hence my recent posts of freemason links the other day for people to check out what they think -your suggestion has been posted before here recently-I just wonder if this general is not being held for treasonable offences, I wonder where he is at the moment-he says he is strong enough to take care of himself-his bio might be interesting.Anyone know????
On a different note, I try to check out latest reports from Cassad tv on the conflict-is any one able to give a strategic summary? Reading that ukr army has thousands of tanks, perhaps 80,000 infantry left, how does the future look for Donbass? Half of Lugansk oblast seems to be under ukr control, some third of Donetsk? ANR near Golovska seem to be in vulnerable danger of being caught out from behind, plus another western ANR extension also seems to be in danger too, especially recent tank activity near Donetsk.Is winter setting in, everyone running out of ammo, are NRA forces using those huge Prion howitzers yet?Is there money to fund ukr forces, are they just awaiting arms etc from USA and Lithuania(still can’t find out what Lit has confirmed to supply), but USA arms/supplies will be transported through Lithuania apparently..no wonder Rus getting firm about their border………

Interestingly UNHCR has announced a disasters appeal for Ukraine, states it is delivering aid(can anyone find out what-where-when?), yet as I posted the other day Bani moon telephoned Poroshenko on 26 Nov to congratulate him on progress towards peaceful settlement.Ukr has previously donated its first ever donation 1m hnvra to UNHCR Syria appeal.Rus convoy due next couple of days.
BTW Saker-sometimes when logging in eblogger says there is a problem then I have to back arrow to get back to post but it is logged in.Best wishes to all, been some excellent/fabulous posts recently.Still reading the interview.

Poltava has not come up in rebellion news at all. The Governor of the oblast, Viktor BOHAYCHUK just resigned a week ago, reason or replacement not given, that I can find. He was a regional council deputy, appointed (in March) as part of the quota for the Svoboda party. Seems to have been a factory manager, not an oligarch. (Must be a bit of a non-entity, if as governor he doesn’t have a Wiki entry while rebel commanders do….Wikipedia rules say a living person has to be ‘notable’ to be allowed an entry).

Is Bezler really in Poltava? No known partisans there. But a hop and a jump to Kharkhiv (an hour’s drive max) and, maybe more importantly, on the main junction of the only 2 roads from Kiev to Kharkhiv….and on a river crossing. Useful place to have well trained partisans in.

The video is a propaganda piece aimed at the western Ukrainians. This casts a tiny doubt on whether Poroshenko was personally involved in arms sales…. although it’s not the first time it’s been claimed defense Ministry was selling armaments to all comers who had money, one reason their own soldiers also had to buy their own if they wanted equipment.

Very intelligent man and clearly playing some mind games here. There’s plenty more in this man than meets the eye. Looks like the release of this video was carefully planned. This is getting very interesting.

Spiegel (mirror) op-ed saying it’s time for their useless spineless do nothing “leiter” to go.

Hi Saker! If you haven’t before, you need to give some props to Kazzura / @Wintersodom, who translated this vid. This person does some amazing translation work – both quick and accurate – and needs to be supported by the pro-Ukraine/Russia English-speaking community.

Cheers! :-)

LATEST Kiev MILITARY DEATHS as per Cassad
for April. 3 to November 27

* 3,450 fighters “Right sector” as well as 30 special battalions of mercenaries “Dnepr”, “Azov” and “Aydar”,
* 11,715 soldiers (main battalions listed but I’ve left them out) from Ministry of Defense
* 4,141 employees from the Ministry of Internal Affairs
* 379 employees of the Security Service of Ukraine,
* 243 people from the ranks of the State Border Service,
* 1,781 people from other armed Ukrainian units

* 88 employees of the CIA, FBI and Special Forces defense Intelligence Agency.
* 630 foreign mercenaries from among the Polish private military company «ASBS Othago», American Asademi and her “daughter» Greystone Limited, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Lithuania, Estonia, Italy, Sweden, Turkey, Czech Republic, Finland, Africa, Arab and other countries

That is 21,709 Ukrainian and 718 foreigners, a total of 22,427 as well as 49,673 injured.

These numbers come from something called Interregional Public Fund for the Promotion of Strategic Security.

According to leaked Ukrainian figures, it is only
12,000 killed, 19,000 wounded, and nearly five thousand
missing…. even that is a lot more than they are publicly admitting to. Another 9000 are listed as captured, deserted or otherwise missing, but many of these may be deaths they have not recorded.

The republics keep finding burial sites, the latest one not even really buried, just bulldozed into a heap and covered. They have started to scan and publish all documents they find on such bodies or remains, to give people with missing sons/husbands a chance to try identifying them. I have seen some of these documents (and put them on my rather empty Facebook); I’ll try to get the website for them.

Awesome speech. I think by the end, he was happy that the idea for this speech came off really well.

I can hardly wait until it happens as he says.

@ Kat Kan

Voice of America is a waste of money, they always had hard time to connect. Broadcasting State Department in Russian sounds paranoid at best. RFE/RFL used to be better, because of culture based programs, but they lost that edge, and most likely nowadays is a write-off as well; what is that they are going to say which is not known? (and the other thing you mentioned is called http://www.fssb.su/ —which gives an idea…)

To be perfectly honest, I don’t trust Bezler.

Fort Russ has been holding Bezler on their front page since October, with his firm endorsement of Zakharchenko and excerpts from an interview. If you don’t have Fort Russ bookmarked, you should have. A rare Strelkov-free zone.
http://fortruss.blogspot.ca/2014/10/naf-commander-igor-bes-besler-press.html

Bes says he was working as head of security in a Donbass factory. Doesn’t sound like likely cover for a state security agent, unless it was one of Akhmetov’s or Kolomoisky’s.

Distrustful Anonymous: Trust but verify. Besler’s actions during the General Korsun affair indicate that his allegiances are as stated, to his Supreme Commander and Prime Minister.

I think the story that Poroshenko has been selling arms to the militia is a well-chosen piece of disinformation. The Ukrs are ready to believe anything about any oligarch, so let’s twist their tails a bit.

I continue to believe that we are being hornswoggled about the degree of resistance in the northwest. We never saw the widespread and militant anti-draft demonstrations and riots, but they were going on. Now the control of dissidents and the media has been ramped up tenfold. Just because we aren’t hearing about it doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

If he’s really in Poltava, Bes is running Kharkiv. Good hunting, Bes.

INFORMATION WAR

Anyone registered with a Ukr newspaper, consider posting this comment under its coverage of draft resisters being arrested/tried.

It is a news bit, sourced Cat in Vostok battalion, of Ukr field crematoria at Kramatorsk, the likely destination of those draft resisters had they not resisted and possibly the “last heard from” location of readers’ missing loved ones.

Он сообщил, что под Краматорском украинские войска организовали полевые крематории. «Хунта лихорадочно избавляется от своих погибших. Так, по сообщениям местных жителей, в районе Краматорска продолжают работать полевые крематории. Два расположены в поле между Славянском и Краматорском, еще один расположен в районе аэродрома (недалеко от поселка Веселый).

It will likely come down quickly, but not immediately. It took Kiev Post eight days to ban me from comments.

If some Russian speaker would kindly provide the translation, in Cyrillic, this one might even slip past:

Our real casualties are 22,000.

Prior to your last podcast I requested your thoughts on Bezler–Perhaps on your next podcast you could provide some perspective and serious discussion regarding this very significant person???

“Anonymous said…
I would much appreciate your thoughts on Bezler being removed from his command
10 November, 2014 23:34″

Again, I would also appreciate your thoughts on Glaziev; specifically as pertains to his grasp of Russian economic picture
and the performance of Russian central banking-which seems to be counterproductive.

In WW II terms, it would be around January 1942. The Nazis had made their big push to take Moscow (Donetsk), and fallen just short. Then the Russians launched their counter-offensive in November and pushed the Germans back from Moscow, but didn’t have the strength to relieve Leningrad which remained under siege. The front lines stabilized while both sides re-grouped for the summer offensive in 1942, after the fields dried out enough to support armour.

The Ukrainian army fell back in disarray after their offensive collapsed in September, but the Novorissians did not have the manpower or other resources to push forward on a decisive counter-offensive and retake Slavyansk or Mariupol. In fact, they weren’t even able to push the Ukrainian army back out of artillery range of Donetsk, and are still fighting in the suburbs.

The idea that the Novorossian army was in a position to advance on Kiev, or even take and hold Mariupol fails to consider their insignificant numbers and the fact that as they advance they have to keep dropping off troops to secure and defend what they have just over-run. That takes a lot of manpower.

The Novorossian army hasn’t even been able to pinch off the dangerous salient of Ukie troops driving a wedge between Donetsk and Luhansk. That would be their number one priority, and they are working on it, but the Ukies are dug in well, and will probably hold their positions for the winter, just as the Germans dug in outside of Leningrad in the winter of 1941 and held their positions until events to the south of them in 1944 rendered their position untenable as they were outflanked and in danger of being surrounded.

It is very difficult to dislodge well dug in troops, and the Ukies have obviously decided to simply dig in within artillery range of Donetsk and shell the city into surrender or depopulation as the residents flee to Russia.

Assuming Bezler is indeed working behind the Ukie lines to set up guerrilla groups in their rear, that is the correct strategy for Novorossia. They need to follow Che Guevara’s call to “create one, two, many Vietnams” or in their case, many areas of insurgency to overtax the Ukie army and cut it’s supply lines. They also need to sabotage the Ukie arms industry plants and power grid to make it difficult for Kiev to supply it’s army in the field. Each successful new guerrilla warfare (partisan) area draws troops away from the Novorossia front lines, enabling the Novorossian forces to edge forward against the weakened Ukie lines and consolidate their territory while gradually pushing back the Ukie artillery.

In particular, the Novorossians need to stir up trouble in and around Kharkov, which like Donetsk and Luhansk lies close to the Russian border and could be aided by covert Russian arms supplies.

Ukrainians must look at traitors that are not only in Kiev, but on line Berlin-Brussels-London-Washington. And their goal? Money talks.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/war-in-ukraine-a-result-of-misunderstandings-between-europe-and-russia-a-1004706.html

The extent of this long article, over 7,000 words, wrote six-member team led by Christian Hoffmann, who say to specialist on Russia. What is the key: The article gives a detailed sequence of events and summaries of closed meetings led by the EU and especially Germany for the crisis at the time of withdrawal Yanukovich.

Merkel threw that on her serving a series of allegations: Misunderstood the position of Yanukovich, understood the importance of Ukraine to Russia and most importantly – ink at treaty with the EU and Ukraine could be dry if Merkel would not listen only to Kiev, but diplomatically negotiated with Russia. That did not happen, se the role of Vitaliy Klichko and German interests .

Article conclusions are clear. Everyone now knows that attempt to tie Ukraine to the EU’s did not work, and this state is virtually disintegrating. Moreover it would be a radical shift towards NATO to Russia’s borders and attempts to rewrite the borders after World War II and brought Europe to a threat of war, not only to the ongoing civil war in Ukraine. EU lost Russia for the first time after 70 years Europe is divided as after the war. And Putin can not be blamed, but Merkel. Spiegel is as usual cautious. But the wheel has turned and our corporate MSMElementary indebted to the United States would finally have to grab the nose.

@Cassandra

There was no ‘Cossack mutiny’ .
There was a report on a disagreement on a coal deal. Kozitsyn is in Russia and doing OK

http://www.regnum.ru/news/polit/1871570.html

Really, Mike, you call this a “report”? This is the most vacuous non-report year-to-date.
=========
[Partly de-Yandexed] Suddenly disappeared from the territory of the LC Vsevelikogo Ataman of the Don Nicholas Kozitsin [broadcast] an appeal to colleagues, urging them not to use their weapons against unarmed people, and said that he was on vacation.

Also in this video, the Ataman asked his subordinate Cossacks to remember that they have only one enemy (APU) and stated that he was “with them.” Kozitsin made no comment on the incident which occurred recently in Anthracite city.

Earlier in this city MIA LC and loyal republican government units of the National Guard Cossack neutralized armed gang takeovers “Antratsitugol” and contraband supplies coal to the Ukrainian side. During the raid were killed the military commander of the city Vyacheslav Pinezhanin and chief of staff of the local Cossack units Michael Koval.
================
So, who were the “armed gangs”? Cassad, in a disappeared report, said it was the LC government who was selling black market coal to Ukraine. Why is Kozitsyn reminding his people not to fire on “unarmed” people? Is this necessary? Is it code for “fire on the armed people, you know who”?

Unless you believe Kozitsin has joined Bes on a beach in Crimea, there are only three reasons for him to be in Russia. He was taken by force, he’s seeking asylum, or he is badly enough wounded to need good medical care.

There are reports of one to two dozen dead. Prapor is reported to be one of them. He was Givi’s “rabbi.”

Why “loyal” government republican units? Are the “armed gangs” disloyal government forces? Are they disloyal Cossacks? The first, now suppressed, report said it was the LPR whose hands were dirty, and the shootout was between LPR and Cossacks.

I feel much too old to hear “Not in front of the children.”
