First of all, you don't have to be a neo-Nazi to be a white nationalist. Secondly, where do you get that Russian nationalists name only Anglos as the problem? Surely, Freemasonic anglos carry out the bidding of the Jews.

MK, all that white nationalism is, is the old concept of God and Country. That goes way back, long long before the Nazis.

The guy squawking about "white supremacists" and "skinheads" all the time is claiming to be a white nationalist now. Classic.  :P

This is quite possibly the dumbest, most pointless article ever written, courtesy Timothy_Fitzpatrick. Seems Timmy Boy is quite the Sherlock Homes, here are the findings of his late-night investigations into the mysterious editing of Alex Jones' wikipedia page  :o  :o  :o  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

http://fitzinformer.blogspot.com/2010/0 ... iting.html
QuoteJewish mathematician caught editing Alex Jones Wikipedia page

Upon inspection of the Alex Jones Wikipedia page history, mathematician Arthur Rubin appears multiple times editing information that puts Alex in a negative or critical light.

Normally, a Jewish person editing a Wikipedia page wouldn't be out of the ordinary, but in the case of Alex Jones, who has bee under the patriot community microscope for several years and suspected of possibly being a Zionist shill, Rubin's involvement on Jones' Wikipedia page is suspicious at the very least.

Interestingly, there are those that claim Jones is a Zionist agent, working for the benefit of Israel. On the other hand, there are those that claim Alex Jones' anti-New World Order stance is anti-Semitic in nature. The latter would appear to clear Alex Jones of the former. For this reason, any Jewish interest in Alex Jones is of note.

Here are about half a dozen edits by Rubin:

Rubin completely removes the following, which is critical of Jones' screening and on-air behaviour with callers.

"On his syndicated radio show, Jones is noted for allowing on callers who question his stance on certain topics. However, once Jones allows such callers to utter one or two sentences, he is known for going on a screaming diatribe that often has nothing to do with the substance of the caller's topic." –Removed

The following was posted and later removed by Rubin:

"In 1993. After high school he briefly attended [[Austin Community College]] because he couldn't get into a University." – Self edited

More removals by Rubin:

"( http://www.truthtellers.org/) He appears on the nationally syndicated radio show, Coast to CoastAM with George Noory" – Removed

The above removal is interesting, considering the fact that the head of truthtellers, Rev. Ted Pike, has now spoken out against Alex Jones. Pike made several appearances on the Alex Jones show and has since called out Alex Jones for being soft on Israel and the Jewish question.

"In late 1999 Jones' show was accused of fear mongering and spreading [[Y2k]] hysteria. In his show on December 31st, 1999, he claimed that nuclear war was on the horizon, and that nuclear power plant meltdowns, gas and water shortages had been caused by the Y2k bug.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpHY6nF7 ... re=related)" – Removed

"(http://www.infowars.com/media-attempts- ... gh-shooter) Michelle Goldberg has stated in ''[[The New Republic]]'' that Jones represents "an old strain of American conservatism--isolationist, anti-Wall Street, paranoid about elite conspiracies--that last flowered during the [[John Birch Society]]'s heyday."(http://www.tnr.com/article/politics/tru ... nsequences) - Removed

"In 2007, Jones had an interview with Noam Chomsky on his radio show and disagreed with him on gun violence in United States and England. After Chomsky left the interview, he went on a rant denigrating Chomsky. But what Chomsky said was factually accurate and Jones's rant was completely baseless though he sounded like he was speaking the truth thus misinforming his audience. Jones's assertion of gun violence and confiscation of guns in London was not verifiable." – Removed

In one instance, a reference to prominent alternative thinker David Icke is removed by Rubin when referring to other anti-NWO patriots. Additionally, Rubin removed a reference which referred to Alex Jones as an actor in a long line of occupational descriptions.

What's more, Alex Jones has had upwards of 19 Jewish advertizers in his vast alternative media empire. His wife is Jewish, his political stance is pro-Israel, and he spends a lot of time entertaining discussions of long-dead Nazis and Germanic Death Cults running a global conspiracy.

According to Rubin's own Wikipedia page, he earned a PH.d at the California Institute of Technology, and ran for the California State Assembly (55th district) on the Libertarian Party ticket in the early 1980s.

Dear Timothy Fitzpatrick,

I can agree as far as saying that the Jews are setting up Russia for something you could call "Gog and Magog."  However, this is not an agreement that they are otherwise "good people."  In matters of Prophecy we are faced with an insoluble 'chicken-or-egg' paradox.  And any reasonable reading of Russian history will make it clear that the majority of Russians have acted savagely and cruelly for their entire history, with only a veneer of civilized restraint, much like our selves.

I love certain aspects of Slavic Russia, and the people there that are real Christians despite ongoing torment especially have my admiration and hopes.  An authentic movement of intelligent patriotism and nationalism among the Christian Russians could be the most important ally we will ever find.  That's exactly why this particular demographic and potential alliance is under psychological attack and subversion by the Jews.

A voice of reason from the You Tube comments attached to the above video:

QuoteLook everyone I am Russian and I know well what is going on. Putin is a zionist puppet controlled purely from the West with absolutely no exceptions!!!!!! He tries to win the votes, which by the way were harshly changed in favor of Putin, by saying that he will bring real change(like Obama said in the US) and greatness to Russia. All the misinformed by the media people (masses) believe him that is around 50% and that is all he needs...

The rest know he is VERY active in MAJOR corruption and wishes to get rid of whatever freedoms and rights Russians had and to sell all that Russia has to Western jews. My sources are unquestionable!

And furthermore, the converso Jew Kapner is clearly suffering from detectable mental illness, characterized by hysteria, manic depressive mood swings and a complete inability to reason and debate with those he disagrees with.   He hasn't got the slightest clue, apparently, that although he follows the Orthodox Christian fasting program with a fanatical intensity, he still misses the mark completely of what it means to live as a Christian.  He doesn't really believe in "storing up treasures in Heaven," he fully expects Messianic rewards right here and now through his idol, which he worships saying:

QuoteYes, indeed, dear President Putin, my dear Orthodox brother in Christ, you who are reviving the Church and Christianity in Moscow and beyond, Glory to Russia!

No, Br. Kapner, that's your Judaism and worldly vainglory speaking, and it is not Orthodox Christianity.  For the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom says:

Quote...For every gracious favor and every perfect gift is from above, coming from You, the Father of Light.  And so we give You glory and thanks and worship, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the endless ages.

So it seems that this is a great inroad against the historic antisemitism of Russia, a first time event of memorable proportions:

QuoteNaming of Russian Jew as Prime Minister Brings Out Pride, Anxiety <:^0
Lev Krichevsky

JTA Focus StoryMOSCOW, March 2 (JTA) -- The Jewish man named Russia's new prime minister is little known to the country's Jewish community.

But Jewish leaders welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin's selection this week of Mikhail Fradkov, currently Russia's envoy to the European Union in Brussels.

Jewish leaders said Fradkov, who was expected to be approved by the pro-Putin majority in the Russian Parliament on Friday, has had no interaction with the organized Jewish community.

If approved, Fradkov would be the first identified Jew to serve as Russia's prime minister. His father is known to be Jewish, and while the background of his mother is unclear, he was profiled in a biographical volume of the Russian Jewish Encyclopedia that was published in 1997.

Berel Lazar, one of Russia's two chief rabbis, told JTA he has met with Fradkov in the past.

"He is very knowledgeable about economics. He hopefully will direct his Cabinet toward resolving Russia's most serious problems, such as the problem of poverty," Lazar said.

Russian experts, whom the choice of Fradkov, 53, has taken by surprise, describe him as a civil servant who is likely to become a bureaucratic prime minister devoted to Putin.

Whether he will serve in his post for very long is unclear.

Russian voters go the polls March 14 in an election that is believed to be a rubber stamp for Putin, and a new Cabinet has to be approved after the election.

But most experts believe he will remain in office for at least a year.

Fradkov has been a foreign trade official since 1972, when at the age of 21 he got a job as an economic adviser with the Russian Embassy in New Delhi.

He first joined the Russian government in 1992, shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, when he was deputy foreign trade minister in the reformist government headed by Yegor Gaidar. He served as trade minister for less than a year in 1997, and was named foreign trade minister two years later. He lost his job when Putin was elected president in 2000.

Before this week's appointment, Fradkov's high point came in March 2001, when he was made head of the tax police, charged with ending Russia's massive tax evasion. The agency was disbanded during a government reshuffle in 2003, and Fradkov was sent to Brussels to represent Russia in the European Commission.

For some Russian Jewish leaders, Fradkov's Jewishness is welcome.

"This nomination sends a clear signal to everyone," said Yevgeny Satanovsky, president of the Russian Jewish Congress. "It means that Russia's president is an absolute pragmatist, it means that a person's nationality does not mean anything to him, and that he is judging people by their business and personal qualities."

Satanovsky said that while Russia's next Cabinet's policies may remain an open question, Russian Jews already have received an answer to an important question.

"This question is: Can a Jew become Russian prime minister? The answer is yes. The next question can only be whether a Jew can be Russia's president. But this nomination basically means that in today's Russia a Jew can be anything. And this is very positive," Satanovsky said.

But others are expressing mixed feelings about Fradkov's nomination, worrying that it could cause a backlash.

"Of course, this is an overall positive thing to Jews," said Lyudmila Krasnopolskaya, an English-language instructor at a Moscow college. "Yet given this, I'm not sure this choice will necessarily make all Russians that happy."

A recent conference on xenophobia and racism in Russia held last week in Moscow reported that more than 60 percent of Russians have xenophobic sentiments, and many are anti-Semitic.

"There are people in the society who can try to make this an issue," said Lazar, speaking of Fradkov's Jewish background.

"I know there are people even inside the Kremlin whom this nomination will not make extremely happy," Satanovsky said.

Two major politicians have come out against the nomination. Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov and ultranationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky, both members of Parliament, said their parties would vote against Fradkov when the nomination is voted on in the Duma on Friday.

Zhirinovsky called Fradkov a "gray and faceless person."

Russia's New Prime Minister - Putin's Obscure Hardliner

By Uwe Klussmann in Moscow

Russian President Vladimir Putin dissolved his government on Wednesday and nominated a little known ally, Viktor Zubkov, to be Russia's new prime minister. Zubkov is stepping into the shoes of Mikhail Fradkov, whose own achievements in the office were unremarkable at best.


The Kremlin has put forward Viktor Zubkov, head of the financial crimes investigation agency, as candidate for new prime minister in place of Mikhail Fradkov.


The Kremlin has put forward Viktor Zubkov, head of the financial crimes investigation agency, as candidate for new prime minister in place of Mikhail Fradkov.
Russian President Vladimir Putin loves to surprise the public and even his trusted friends with his personnel choices. With his new choice for the head of government, he has done it again.

Viktor Zubkov is expected to be confirmed as Russian prime minister on Friday by the country's lower house of parliament, the Duma, which is dominated by Putin loyalists. But the 65-year-old Zubkov, whose birthday is on Saturday, is far from being a household name in Russia, even if long-serving officers in the security agencies speak of him with respect.

During the Soviet era, Zubkov was a senior official in the Communist Party in then Leningrad. In 1991, he was promoted to Putin's deputy in the external trade committee of the St. Petersburg city administration. Ten years later, Putin, who had become president by that stage, appointed him boss of the Financial Monitoring Service in the Finance Ministry. Since March 2004, the financial watchdog has been an independent authority mainly charged with combating cross-border money laundering. Its publicity-shy head is regarded as a hardliner.

The previous prime minister, Mikhail Fradkov, who resigned Wednesday, was hardly better known to many normal Russian citizens than his successor. As prime minister, he was formally the second most important man in the state. However the politician kept a low public profile, and the news of his resignation was received largely with indifference.

Fradkov, a heavy-set man in his mid-fifties, acted for three-and-a-half years pretty much as Putin's yes man. Putin appreciates such things, and Fradkov has now received an Order of Service to the Fatherland, first degree -- the highest award a hard-working civil servant can get. His predecessor Mikhail Kasyanov, whom Putin dismissed in February 2004, did not get an award when he left. Instead, as an opposition politician, he now feels the strong arm of Putin's policemen when he takes part in demonstrations. With Fradkov, a defection to the opposition is not to be expected.

Fradkov's career, like Putin's, was early on connected with the Soviet secret service. At the age of 23, the son of a Jewish family and graduate of the Foreign Trade Academy was already active as an "economic adviser" in the Soviet embassy in India -- a popular cover for Soviet spies. From being a department head in the Soviet Ministry for Foreign Trade, he rose after the break-up of the USSR to become the Deputy for Foreign Economic Relations in the new Russia. He served Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev and later Boris Yeltsin and then Putin.

After a spell as general manager of a large Moscow insurance company in 1999, the economist was promoted by Putin to the post of Deputy Secretary of the Security Council. It was led at that time by then First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov, a close friend of Putin. Ivanov is said to have recommended Fradkov in 2004 to Putin for the post of the head of government. In the Security Council, Fradkov was regarded as an expert on the world economy -- including "grey" and criminal financial flows.

Fradkov's overall performance as prime minister was not overly impressive. Despite economic growth of more than 6 percent and increasing oil revenues, the country is far from making the transition to modern high technology industries which Putin has repeatedly demanded. The gap between rich and poor continues to grow, as does the gap between prospering and declining regions. In the northern Caucasus, particularly in the republic of Ingushetia, whole areas are on the brink of armed uprising.

The militant rebellion in the impoverished Muslim areas near the Caucasus Mountains is fed by widespread corruption, which became even worse during Fradkov's term as prime minister. The staid bureaucrat did almost nothing to bring it under control. In terms of his character, he was not a man who liked to "tighten screws," as his comrades from the security authorities encourage their president to do.

A Moscow journalist once joked that Fradkov was really a well-known comedian from Odessa, who bears a resemblance to the former prime minister. But the mood has changed in Moscow, and clowns are no longer desired. These days, hardliners are back in demand.

Alexander Dugin, the Issue of Post-Soviet Fascism, and Russian Political Discourse Today by Andreas Umland in Ukrayinska Pravda, 23 juli 2007.

The past two years witnessed a welcome sensitization of the Russian public towards skinhead attacks and ultra-nationalist propaganda. In view of escalating violent attacks and other actions against foreigners, the debate on Russian fascism is currently experiencing a new high in the Russian media. There was a similar debate in the mid-1990s, when the confrontation between President Boris Yeltsin and the "intransigent opposition," a state of near-civil war in Moscow, the ascent of Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the appearance of neo-Nazi parties, and the first Chechen war, gave rise to the notion of a "Weimar Russia." Even though this construct has made only rare appearances in commentaries in recent months, the current media debate is also marked by alarmism.

It is to be welcomed that the increasing right-wing extremist tendencies within the Russian party landscape and youth culture, which had been largely ignored for many years, are now at least partially acknowledged by the Russian public, and countermeasures are being debated. Even the Russian judiciary which has been known for its pro-nationalist bias is beginning to submit to the pressure of public opinion (or the presidential administration), and now applies the Russian penal code's section on xenophobic crimes more frequently than was the case during the 1990s. Other promising developments include the sharp reactions of state officials to a xenophobic campaign advertisement aired by the Rodina (Motherland) alliance ahead of elections for the Moscow municipal parliament and the measures against the often deadly skinhead attacks on immigrants and visiting students. Official statements on such issues occasionally refer to the "anti-fascist" heritage of the Soviet Union and to the Russian people's alleged special deep-rooted aversion against fascism.

Despite such encouraging signs, the Kremlin-controlled mass media have kept an altogether ambivalent stance toward right-wing extremist tendencies. Although manifest anti-Semitism and violent racism are now heavily criticized and visibly stigmatized, other xenophobic patterns remain present, or are even increasing, in foreign news reporting and political commentaries. In addition to the traditional anti-Western, anti-Baltic, anti-Gypsy, and anti-Polish reflexes, this is increasingly true for prejudices against Ukrainians and Caucasians, recently, especially, against Georgians. Unquestionably, though, it is the US that holds first place among the "enemies of Russia," as projected by the Russian state media. The increasingly primitive and profound anti-Americanism seen, for example, in prime time political television shows like Odnako ("However", hosted by Mikhail Leontiev), Real'naya politika ("Real Politics", hosted by Gleb Pavlovsky), or Post Scriptum (hosted by Alexei Pushkov) is raised to the level of a Manichean world-view, where the US is made responsible for the majority of mishaps and failures in recent Russian, and indeed world history, and where US society mutates into the negative Other of Russian civilization. It is curious that Germany – the country that has caused Russia the most harm in recent history – is often excepted from this paranoid perception of the external world and stylized as a collective friend of Russia, probably not least because of Putin's personal preferences (a distorted view that has, however, been stoked by the unorthodox approach to Russia of former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder).

Finally, despite the increasing censure of certain right-wing extremist tendencies, the representatives of ultra-nationalist political groups regarded as close to President Putin have been excepted from the Kremlin's campaigns to discredit the radically nationalist camp. This is true, for instance, with regard to Zhirinovsky's so-called Liberal Democratic Party, although many statements made by Zhirinovsky and his entourage equally stir xenophobic hatred among the population (for example, his notorious pamphlet "The Last Leap toward the South"). Last year, Putin personally awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland to Zhirinovsky – a man who in September 1995 had physically attacked a female MP, Yevgenia Tishkovskaya, in the State Duma in front of TV cameras.

Besides such tendencies in the broader public, there are similarly contradictory developments in the discourse of the elites and political pundits. On the one hand, the political leadership is promoting integration of Russia into Western organizations such as the G8 and the WTO. On the other hand, the political discourse of experts, as well as intellectual life in general, are characterized by the spread of an anti-Western consensus often described as "Eurasian." Its essence is the assertion that Russia is "different" from, or indeed, by its nature, the opposite of the US. The Russian book market is experiencing a glut of vituperative political lampoons whose main features include pathological anti-Americanism, absurd conspiracy theories, apocalyptic visions of the future, and bizarre fantasies of national rebirth. Among the more or less widely read authors of such concoctions are Sergei Kurginyan, Igor Shafarevich, Oleg Platonov, and Maxim Kalashnikov (a.k.a. Vladimir Kucherenko).

Probably the best-known writer and commentator of this kind is Aleksandr Dugin (b. 1962), who holds a doctorate in political science (from an obscure Russian provincial institute) and is the founder, chief ideologue, and chairman of the so-called International "Eurasian Movement." This Movement's Supreme Council boasts among its members the Russian Federation's Culture Minister Aleksandr Sokolov, Vice Speaker of the Federation Council, Aleksandr Torshin, Presidential Advisor Aslambek Aslakhanov, several diplomats and scholars as well as other illustrious personages, including some marginal Western intellectuals and CIS politicians.

Among the latter are Nataliya Vitrenko, the well-known head of the so-called Progessive Socialist Party of Ukraine, and Dmitro Korchinsky, formerly leader of the Ukrainian fascist party UNA-UNSO and now chairman of the Bratstvo (Brotherhood) Party. Dugin's name was recently mentioned in Ukrainian mass media in connection with the scandal that arose when Ukrainian Presidential Advisor Mykola Zhulinsky was barred from entering Russia during a private trip to St. Petersburg this summer. This was interpreted as a retaliation for Ukraine's refusal to permit Dugin entering Ukraine shortly before. In June 2006, Dugin had been declared persona non grata in Ukraine until 2011 for violating Ukrainian law, and was thus deported back to Russia after he had arrived by plane at Simferopol airport in early June 2007 in order to attend the festival "The Great Russian Word" organized by the Russian Community of the Crimea. In spite of this conflict with the Ukrainian authorities, the youth organization of Dugin's Movement, the Eurasian Union of Youth, has an active branch in Ukraine, and is particularly visible in Sumy, Kyiv and the Crimea.

Dugin's increasing celebrity in the CIS is remarkable considering that the chief "neo-Eurasian" is not only among the most influential, but also one of the most brazen of Russia's ultra-nationalist publicists. While authors such as Kurginyan or Shafarevich are satisfied to promote a renaissance of classical Russian anti-Western sentiments in their pamphlets and subtly draw on Western sources, Dugin admits openly that his main ideas are based on non-Russian anti-democratic concepts such as European integral Traditionalism (e.g. René Guénon, Julius Evola, Claudio Mutti, etc.), Western geopolitics (e.g. Alfred Mahan, Halford Mackinder, Karl Haushofer), the German "conservative revolution" (e.g. Carl Schmitt, Ernst Jünger, Arthur Moeller van den Bruck), and the francophone New Right (e.g. Alain de Benoist, Robert Steuckers, Jean Thiriart).

Furthermore, during the 1990s, Dugin repeatedly hinted at his sympathy for selected aspects of Italian Fascism and National Socialism, such as the SS and its Ahnenerbe ("Ancestral Heritage") Institute, and has described the Third Reich as the most consistent incarnation of the "Third Way" that he explicitly advocates. In the chapter "Fascism – Boundless and Red" of the online version of his 1997 book Tampliery Proletariata (The Templar Knights of the Proletariat), he expressed the hope that the inconsistent application of originally correct ideas by Hitler, Mussolini, etc. would, eventually, be followed in post-Soviet Russia by the emergence of a "fascist fascism". In Dugin's apocalyptic worldview, global history consists of a centuries-old confrontation between hierarchically organized "Eurasian" continental powers and liberal "Atlantic" naval powers. Today, this confrontation is carried out between Russia and the US as the main representatives of the two antagonistic types of civilization, and its final battle is approaching (Dugin uses the German word Endkampf, which has Nazi connotations, without a Russian translation).

One might expect Dugin, and other extremely right-wing pundits offering similar pro-fascist statements, to be subjected to the same public stigmatization as neo-Nazi parties and skinhead groups are currently experiencing in Russia. However, this has not been the case so far. On the contrary, Dugin and others of his ilk, such as the well-known editor-in-chief of Russia's leading ultranationalist weekly Zavtra ("Tomorrow"), Aleksandr Prochanov, are popular guests in prime-time political television shows such as Vremena ("Times", hosted by Vladimir Pozner), Tem vremenem ("In the Meantime", hosted by Aleksandr Archangelsky), Voskresnyi vecher' ("Sunday Evening"), or K Bar'eru ("To the Barricade", hosted by Vladimir Solovyov), and are even invited to popular talk shows like Pust' govoryat ("Let Them Speak", hosted by Andrei Malakhov).

The fact that Dugin has so far been "spared" by the Kremlin-controlled media and his political opponents is not only due to his recent posing as a "radical centrist" and fanatical supporter of Putin as well as his ability to win sympathies of prominent members of the Russian legislative and executive braches. He has also managed to avoid the charge of promoting fascism by adapting his writings and public image to the distorted conception of fascism inherited from Soviet propaganda. In the post-Soviet discourse, the term "fascism" is equated with German National Socialism and its external trappings, such as the swastika or Roman salute. Occasionally, the propagandistic usage of the term "fascism" goes so far as to include all ideas regarded as "anti-Russian", and, paradoxically, becomes thus a rhetorical instrument in xenophobic agitation campaigns of Russian ultra-nationalists.

The example of Dugin illustrates that, as a result of the idiosyncratic conception of generic fascism in post-Soviet Russia, it is sufficient to rhetorically dissociate oneself from the worst crimes of Nazi Germany and to refrain from blatant copying of Nazi symbols in order to avoid public stigmatization as a "fascist". This approach would, at least, explain why, on the one hand, obviously neo-Nazi groups such as the Russkoe Natsional'no Edinstvo (Russian National Unity) of Aleksandr Barkashov or skinhead gangs are being vocally suppressed by the executive and judiciary, while on the other hand ultra-nationalist writers who, in terms of their rhetoric, are no less radical are not only tolerated, but have unhindered access to public platforms and state-controlled media, and are, sometimes, allocated an active role in PR projects of the Kremlin's political technologists.

Another factor in favor of Dugin and similar publicists is the return of the Russian leadership to quasi-Orwellian forms of organizing public discourse. Kremlin-controlled political reporting in the mass media has become a succession of national-patriotic happenings in which international developments of any kind – whether a Russia-China summit or Russian athletes' performance at the Olympics, the "Orange Revolution" or foreign success of a Russian fantasy movie – are exaggerated into either collective triumphs or shared humiliations of the Russian nation under its faithful leadership. The attendant superficiality and emotionality of public debates, which occasionally degenerate into bizarre shouting matches between participants of political television shows, replace serious analysis. Political commentaries are fixated on the "here and now" which, in the case of Dugin, may have contributed to that his well-known neo-fascist stance during the 1990s has been "forgotten". The mantra-like disparagement of the West that accompanies the agitational realignment of foreign news reporting increases the playing field for the propagation of anti-Western slogans which also furthers the spread of extremist ideas proposed by Dugin and theorists with similar leanings.

Will the newfound sensitivity towards nationalist tendencies lead to a sustained return to tolerant and liberal aspects of Russia's political tradition? Or is this new tendency no more than the latest episode in the Putin administration's fluctuating media campaigns? One can identify two contrary trends – one ideological, the other pragmatic – whose collision has restored a certain measure of controversy to the generally dull public discourse in Russia. On the one hand, the dualist worldview introduced by the Kremlin in the past few years – the simple, but honest Russians struggling for independence against a devious, soulless, imperialist West – fulfils an important role in legitimating the "tough" course of the resurging Russia under its new president. However, the officially approved paranoia also opens the floodgates for radical conclusions. Since the US model of society is presented as the antithesis of Russian civilization, one should not be surprised when youth gangs of violent thugs try to prevent an "Americanization" of Russian society in their way. The damage caused by such reactions to the international image of Russia is, in turn, incompatible with the equally strong tendency towards establishing the country as a respected partner of the Western countries and as becoming a part of the "civilized world" (the preferred Russian term for the economically advanced democratic states). Besides, the leadership of the Kremlin appears to be considering large-scale immigration as a way of replenishing the rapidly dwindling population of the Russian Federation, which would create new, potentially explosive, tensions. Finally, the fanatical anti-Americanism and pro-Iranian positions of Dugin and others are in contradiction to a number of security policies of the Kremlin and its efforts to join the international coalition against terrorism as a full member. Due to these and other challenges in the coming years, the particulars of the – at least partial – handover of power from Putin to his successor in 2008 will gain additional importance.

QuoteExclusive: U.S. dangles secret data for Russia missile shield approval.

By Jim Wolf

WASHINGTON | Tue Mar 13, 2012 9:41pm EDT

(Reuters) - The Obama administration is leaving open the possibility of giving Moscow certain secret data on U.S. interceptor missiles due to help protect Europe from any Iranian missile strike.

A deal is being sought by Washington that could include classified data exchange because it is in the U.S. interest to enlist Russia and its radar stations in the missile-defense effort, a Pentagon spokeswoman said Tuesday in written replies to Reuters.

No decision has been made yet on whether the United States would offer data about the interceptors' "velocity at burnout," or VBO, said Air Force Lieutenant Colonel April Cunningham, the spokeswoman, but it is not being ruled out.

VBO is at the heart of what Russia wants as the price for its cooperation, said Riki Ellison, head of the private Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, who has close ties to missile defense and military officials.

VBO tells how fast an interceptor is going when its rocket-booster motor fuel is spent and the motor burns out.

With VBO and certain other technical data, Moscow could more readily develop countermeasures and strategies to defeat the system and transfer the information to others, Ellison said.

Ellen Tauscher, the administration's special envoy for strategic stability and missile defense, held talks in Moscow Tuesday with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, including on missile defense, a State Department spokesman said.

The Defense Department, in its response to Reuters, ruled out giving Russia information on either "telemetry" or U.S. "hit-to-kill" technology.

Telemetry involves the automatic transmission and measurement of data from remote sources to monitor a missile flight. Hit-to-kill is the way in which modern U.S. interceptors, such as Raytheon Co's Standard Missile-3, destroy targets by slamming into them.

The department emphasized the Obama administration was following in the footsteps of the George W. Bush administration in seeking missile defense cooperation with Moscow, a process formally begun in 2004.

In keeping open the possibility of sharing VBO information with Moscow, Obama is at odds with Republicans in Congress who have said they will seek to legislate a prohibition on such data-sharing.

Republican Rep. Mike Turner, chairman of the House of Representatives' Armed Services subcommittee on strategic forces, faulted the administration for what he described as "caving" to Russian concerns at the expense of U.S. interests.

"That is why it is important Congress insist on protecting our classified missile defense information, and our right to deploy missile defenses without concern for Russia's posturing," he said in a statement Tuesday to Reuters.

The sharing of such data might help salve Russian concerns about the layered shield being built in Europe by the United States and its NATO allies, chiefly to fend off the perceived threat from Iranian missiles.

Moscow fears the bulwark could grow strong enough over time to undermine its nuclear deterrent force. It has threatened to deploy missiles to overcome the shield and potentially target missile defense installations such as those planned in NATO members Poland and Romania.

The Defense Department, in its reply to Reuters, said the sharing of classified U.S. data is subject to an interagency group known as the National Disclosure Policy Committee, which evaluates requests for dealing with other governments.

Bradley Roberts, a deputy assistant secretary of defense, told Turner's committee last week the United States had been making "no progress" toward persuading Russia to drop its opposition to the shield despite its willingness to consider sharing certain classified data.

QuoteExclusive: U.S. dangles secret data for Russia missile shield approval.

By Jim Wolf

WASHINGTON | Tue Mar 13, 2012 9:41pm EDT

(Reuters) - The Obama administration is leaving open the possibility of giving Moscow certain secret data on U.S. interceptor missiles due to help protect Europe from any Iranian missile strike.

A deal is being sought by Washington that could include classified data exchange because it is in the U.S. interest to enlist Russia and its radar stations in the missile-defense effort, a Pentagon spokeswoman said Tuesday in written replies to Reuters.

No decision has been made yet on whether the United States would offer data about the interceptors' "velocity at burnout," or VBO, said Air Force Lieutenant Colonel April Cunningham, the spokeswoman, but it is not being ruled out.

VBO is at the heart of what Russia wants as the price for its cooperation, said Riki Ellison, head of the private Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, who has close ties to missile defense and military officials.

VBO tells how fast an interceptor is going when its rocket-booster motor fuel is spent and the motor burns out.

With VBO and certain other technical data, Moscow could more readily develop countermeasures and strategies to defeat the system and transfer the information to others, Ellison said.

Canada warns gay travellers of Russian law banning 'homosexual propaganda'
The Canadian Press

OTTAWA - Canada is warning gay and lesbian travellers bound for Russia's historic St. Petersburg to be wary after the city enacted a new law banning what it calls homosexual propaganda.

Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird has told the House of Commons he is deeply concerned by the legislation, which he says runs counter to core Canadian values of freedom of speech, human rights and the rule of law.

The warning comes after the governor of St. Petersburg signed a law that makes it a criminal offence to publicize acts of sodomy, bisexualism or lesbianism.

The city says the law, which comes into effect Saturday, is designed to protect children.

But gay rights groups see it as part of a backlash led by some politicians and the Russian Orthodox Church.

St. Petersburg is the fourth Russian city to be enact such a law.

Baird said Canada has lodged an official protest, as well as warning travellers.

"Canada's ambassador has written to the Russian government to express our deep concern and, yes, we have at his request, put a travel advisory on our website," Baird said.

Scenic, historic and cosmopolitan, St. Petersburg is one of Russia's — if not one of the world's — top travel destinations.

Canada's new travel advisory has been amended to read: "Homosexuality is legal, though some still strongly disapprove of it. Canadians are advised to avoid displaying affection in public, as homosexuals can be targets of violence."

The advisory states that the new law prohibits "propagandizing homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality and transsexuality among minors, and prohibiting public actions propagandizing pedophilia."

Among other things, the advisory warns travellers against "displays or conspicuous behaviour," which could lead to arrest or a fine.

Baird said he will consider amending travel advisories to other destinations to deal with specific threats to gay and lesbian travellers.

"We'll certainly look at that," said Baird. "Obviously one of the core responsibilities I have as Canada's foreign minister is to promote Canadian values around the world, and I will continue to do this."
Fitzpatrick Informer:

Do you think it possible that they enacted the law because of the activities of the people on the streets in St. Petersburg?  

I think a similar sort of law would be called for in an area like San Francisco, so is St. Petersburg like San Francisco already?

QuoteGrey Terror
by J. R. Nyquist, Global Analyst. May 5, 2004

It is generally believed that Mohammed Atta was the leader of the 9/11 strikes against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Atta was an Egyptian, a student of architecture in Cairo and Hamburg, born on Sept. 1, 1968. His studies continued to the end of the 1990s. We are told that he was seriously religious, though he was seen drinking alcohol and playing video games at a sports bar the week before 9/11.

In May 2003, Capt. Vladimir Hucin, formerly with Czech intelligence (BIS), made a curious statement in front of Petr Cibulka, the head of the Right Bloc (Pravy Blok) in response to a question about Atta: "I had information that Mohammed Atta was trained in the Zastavka terrorist training camp in 1988, by Czechoslovak Communists and STB."

Cibulka was not surprised by Hucin's claim regarding Atta. According to Cibulka, al Qaeda is the child of the Communist Bloc and its rogue state allies. "[Al Qaeda] is supplied and trained by Iraq," said Cibulka in a 2003 interview. "But the real brains behind this global terrorist campaign against the free world – is in fact the Russian GRU. Moscow fights against the United States with a hidden hand."

There is no question that the FBI and the CIA, in their infinite wisdom, would dismiss Cibulka's statement and the allegations of Capt. Hucin. The reasoning of the FBI and CIA goes something like this: People who have fought communism their whole lives are deeply committed to their views, even when communism has collapsed. Those who hate communism do not stop hating it, and their judgment is distorted by this hatred. Therefore, statements connecting today's terrorism with "International Communism" are not to be taken seriously.

Perhaps the prevailing wisdom of the FBI and CIA deserves the honored place it now enjoys. On the other hand, an admission that anti-Communism can become an obsession does not automatically discredit everything anti-Communists have to say. Soviet Communism invented modern terrorism. The Communists trained Arafat, Mandela, Carlos the Jackal and others. To what end was this training?

There is an old book by a GRU defector who wrote under the pen name Viktor Suvorov. The book's title is Spetsnaz: The Inside Story of the Soviet Special Forces. Chapter 15 in this book is about Spetsnaz's role at the outset of World War III. It makes very interesting reading.

Russian Spetsnaz commandos are trained as paratroopers, explosives experts, terrorists and assassins. According to Suvorov, World War III will not begin with conventional military operations, or even with massed nuclear missile strikes. On page 196 he describes "a series of large and small [terrorist] operations the purpose of which is, before actual military operations begin, to weaken the enemy's morale, create an atmosphere of suspicion, fear and uncertainty, and divert attention of the enemy's armies and police forces to a huge number of different targets'." According to Suvorov: "The principle method employed at this stage is 'grey terror.'"is a kind of terror that is carried out "in the name of already existing extremist groups not connected in any way with the Soviet Union, or in the name of fictitious organizations."

Suvorov claimed that "grey terror" would have a psychological warfare component. The Russian special services, he wrote, would launch a scandal parade. Dirt would be invented, created or dug up on America's leaders, on America's defense establishment and on America's friends abroad. According to Suvorov, various nations would begin to distrust their leaders. The peace movement, he wrote, would make use of these scandals. "In many countries there are continual demands to make the country neutral and not to support American foreign policy, which has been discredited." When America's international support erodes away, explained Suvorov, the "grey terror" gathers in scope and "reaches its peak." The next stage is pink terror, "when active military operations have not yet begun and there is still peace, but when some of the best spetsnaz units have already gone into action." This leads directly to "red terror" – which is open warfare between major powers.

Perhaps it is crazy to make this suggestion: But is it possible the "grey terror" of Viktor Suvorov has begun? Are key leaders in al Qaeda paid agents of the old Communist Bloc, paving the way for "pink terror" and the "red terror" that logically follows?

One hesitates to accept, at face value, the statements of anti-Communists in Eastern Europe (since their statements are so grim). And yet, there is something strange about the terrorists and their war against America. What do these terrorists hope to achieve for themselves? Islam is not going to take over the United States. The Islamists have no army. They don't even have a country that dares to openly embrace their cause.

Last Sunday night I received a call from an American businessman recently returned from South America. He had a strange encounter. He'd met a Russian down below the equator. This Russian thought South America was safe place to be at the moment. The businessman talked about life in South America. "Life is better in the United States," he said. The Russian answered. "Yes, but the United States is not going to be there much longer."

The Russian refused to elaborate. Perhaps he doesn't need to.

Look M.K.,  Nyquist is a Ziopuppet Cheerleader.  Most people, even in the conservative movement, treat his writings as half-baked sh*t.  

So, the guy is blowing up communist symbols, then starts training "Atta"?  Like most of the "Russia Did it" theory... it falls on its face. It doesn't add up.

Like most propaganda coming from the NeoCon J-puppet Nyquist... the story is crap (as is the whole deal that Russia did 9/11).  --CSR

QuoteVladimír Hučín

Vladimír Hučín (May 25, 1952 in Gottwaldov (Zlín), Czechoslovakia) is a Czech political celebrity and dissident of both communist and post/communist era.

In the 1970s and 80's he used explosives to destroy various propaganda symbols of communism and distributed anti-communist leaflets; he got caught and was tried four times, received various forms of punishment including imprisonment; he served a grand total of 40 months in prison. After his release from prison in 1987 he signed the Charter 77 proclamation. Even when he wasn't imprisoned he suffered extensive discrimination from the Czech communist authorities and their Secret Police (StB). He was eventually rehabilitated of all the communist era convictions and they were rendered null and void.

After the so called Velvet Revolution of 1989 he worked in the Civic Commissions (these were administering clearances to the members of the ordinary Police force) and later was nominated by the Confederation of Political Prisoners to work at the Security Information Service (BIS), a Czech intelligence agency and once admitted there, he achieved a rank of Captain and was regarded as one of the its best officers.

In 2001, when he came to the conclusion that ultra-left wingers of the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia were behind several unsolved explosions that took place in his home town of Prerov (of which he is an honorary citizen), he was fired from BIS and soon after that arrested and imprisoned on 7 unsubstantiated charges. He effectively became a political prisoner of the allegedly democratic regime of the president Václav Havel and government of the Czech Social Democratic Party. He was held in custody only few days short of a year and spent a portion of that time in a psychiatric hospital. In spite of numerous requests the then-president Havel refused to look into the matter and grant him clemency, even though Havel was well known for his extensive use of clemency while in office. Similarly several petitions with thousands of signatures to the Czech Senate went unheeded.

Hučín's trial ran for five years without public being admitted into the court room (on pretense that the court was dealing with classified materials) and on one occasion even being ejected by a brutal force from the court house. In November 2005 he was acquitted of all charges, an appellate court confirmed the verdict on April 21. 2006 in Olomouc. During those 5 years, while out of the custody, he could not find any work because prospective employers feared the persecution by the authorities. After he was acquitted, there was no compensation or even an apology coming to Vladimir Hučín from the Czech Republic or BIS for his wrongful imprisonment. Any documments related to his case are effectively closed to the public (as well as to himself) and even Parliamentary Security Commission was not allowed to see them by the BIS.

Vladimír Hučín tried (unsuccessfully) for a seat in the Senate in 2006 and again in 2008.

Through his website and through the interviews with the media Vladimír Hučín continues to point out the persons he deems unfit for their public office.

He co-authored two books which describe his ordeal, "Není to o mně ale o nás" (It's about us, not about me) and "Hrdinům se neděkuje" (Heroes don't receive thanks); especially the first one is a plentiful source of information about him and his work.

A short docummentary film called "Pravdě podobný příběh Vladimíra Hučína" (Truth-like story of Vladimir Hucin) which describes Hucin's post-comminst era ordeal has been made by Martin Vadas.

Czech Senator Jaromír Štětina dedicated one chapter of his book "Brutalita moci" (Brutality of Power) to the case of Vladimir Hucin; in it he extensively describes not only the Hucin's case but also how the Parliamentary Security Commission was treated by the BIS.

After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan

Dear CSR

I can see where you get the idea that J.R. Nyquist is not to be read without due skepticism, although I have not seen anything from him which was outright pro-Zionist and I'm going to ask you to fill me in on this detail a bit more.  But let's agree that his associations are such that he seems like he could be a ZIonist-minded 'rightist'.

However, attacking the messenger is not the way to discredit the source, and there is little to look at in the bio you posted to cause one to rank Vladimír Hučín among the Zionist prostitutes.  If anything, he looks more credible than J.R. Nyquist, which is why I would post the Nyquist journalism-lite article in the first place.  Nyquist deserves credit as a source who quoted Vladimír Hučín.

Besides the obvious question of why the Soviet Air Force was wargaming the US on 9/11, now we have a credible enough witness who says Atta was Commie trained.  I think Roux could have been a Commie too, his cousin the judge is certainly very Judeo-leftist.  I don't know what you think you know about Russia, but I do know that you can't prove that they didn't do it, and offering your blind faith in Russia as proof of things unseen leaves a bit to be desired, philosophically.

Islam-Communism-Fascism.... it is all the same for these "4th World War" Bad Jewish B*tchings.  Nyquist rambles on about enemies "Foreign and Domestic" but is all too "WorldNetDaily P.C." and doesn't point out AIPAC and other documented Jewish treachery before, during and after the Israeli attacks on 9/11.   <:^0

Kissinger, Steyn, and Power Line honor Norman Podhoretz for World War IV
By Seth Mandel
Feb. 15, 2008

With Mark Steyn telling stories of him singing "Making Whoopee" on cruise ships and Henry Kissinger praising his political clairvoyance, Norman Podhoretz was honored by friends and colleagues as he received the first annual Power Line Book of the Year award Feb. 11.

Podhoretz, prolific author, political writer, and former editor-in-chief of Commentary magazine, as well as past recipient of Bar-Ilan's Guardian of Zion Award, was given the award for his most recent work, World War IV: The Long Struggle Against Islamofascism. Power Line is a conservative-leaning blog authored by attorneys John Hinderaker, Scott Johnson, and Paul Mirengoff. The award's cash prize of $25,000 -- the largest monetary prize in letters -- was donated by Podhoretz to Soldiers' Angels, a volunteer-based nonprofit that helps American soldiers.

"I am also here as a testimony to my innate masochism," Kissinger deadpanned before Podhoretz gave his acceptance speech at the Four Seasons Restaurant in Manhattan. "I've been attacked by Norman from the left and I've been attacked by Norman from the right. I've been attacked for being too Cold War-ish, and I've been attacked for not being Cold War-ish enough. I've been attacked for failure to engage in detente, and for excessive enthusiasm for detente.

"At the same time, I suffer from enormous affection for Norman and Midge. They are heroes to me of the intellectual struggles of our period."

World War IV is premised on calling the current political and military battles waged against the West by radical Islamists the fourth world war, the Cold War being the third.

Hinderaker told the audience that Podhoretz's book is an invaluable resource to those who need to understand the current struggle against Islamists. He said in his book, Podhoretz lays out in detail how the war began long before Sept. 11, 2001, and that President George W. Bush's policies are the only response that can be effective against an enemy that cannot be deterred by threats of retaliation or saber-rattling.  <:^0

"The so-called realist proposal to placate the jihadists, which consists, essentially, of selling out Israel, is as unrealistic as it is immoral," Hinderaker said, describing what he called Podhoretz's lucid and fact-driven analysis of the issue. "In recognition of all these virtues and more, we are proud to present the Power Line Book of the Year Award for 2007 to Norman Podhoretz for World War IV.

The event was organized by the Hudson Institute New York Briefing Council, the N.Y.-based public policy discussion arm of the Washington D.C.-based futurist think tank.

'Norman is a prophet'


Kissinger was secretary of state and national security advisor to former President Richard Nixon. Kissinger pointed out that he held both positions simultaneously at one point.

"And the reason I mention it is... never before, and never since, have relations between the White House and the State Department been as amicable and coherent as they were in those days," he quipped.

Kissinger said that he always agreed with Podhoretz's analogies, but not always with his conclusions. The issue, he said, is that Podhoretz is a prophet, and prophets believe in the immediate feasibility of their ideals. Statesmen like himself, Kissinger said, concentrate on what can be done in a specific period of time.

"Of course, people like me couldn't function unless there were a few prophets around to recall us to our duties," Kissinger said.

Kissinger said Podhoretz has contributed greatly to his own understanding of current events, and that he agrees completely with Podhoretz's description of the challenge the West faces.

"What we call terrorism refers to a method; what terrorism represents is an assault by radical Islam on the political structure of the Islamic world, but in a deeper sense, on the secular structure and international structure of anything any society within reach of Islam, which means almost every part of the world," Kissinger said. "That is the fundamental challenge. Therefore, to talk about withdrawal from any battlefield is to describe defeat. There is no way to escape the conflict with Islam by leaving Afghanistan or leaving Iraq."

Kissinger then turned to the issue of Iranian nuclear capability. He said some argue that since nuclear proliferation was tolerated for some nations, it must be tolerated for the Islamic Republic as well. He disagrees, whether or not Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in power.

"The nature of the Iranian government compounds the problem, but I would be opposed to it even if there were another government in Tehran," he said. "And I don't think we should confuse those two issues."

On the topic of the use of force and unilateral American action, Podhoretz "brilliantly illuminated" the options, Kissinger said.

"My major reason for being here is to express my gratitude for what Norman has contributed to our society, the friendship he has shown Nancy and me, and for the courage with which he has faced his critics and stood by his convictions," Kissinger said. "And now if he can only learn how to implement them, we'll have nothing left to argue about."

A new Cold War

Columnist and author of American Alone: The End of the World As We Know It, Mark Steyn spoke about the facets of each of the first three world wars that can be seen in the current war against radical Islam. It is closer to a new Cold War than a new hot war, Steyn said, and among America's new priorities there is less emphasis on removing some of the Arab world's despots like Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who "sleeps a lot easier in his bed now than he did five years ago."

Steyn also noted that the current wave of appeasement of Islamic warriors is foolhardy, especially given the precedent.

"We don't have the same excuse that Neville Chamberlain and Lord Halifax had 70 years ago, because our appeasement is done knowing full well the consequences of what happened the last time round," Steyn said. "I think that makes it worse."

For example, he said, calling this a war on terror is dangerously imprecise.

"To the modern progressive, there are no enemies, just friends whose grievances we haven't yet accommodated," he said. "And radical Islam gets that message -- it smells weakness and decay at the heart of the West, and it figures, reasonably enough, that if we're going to lose to someone it might as well be them."

Will trumps wealth, Steyn said, noting that Americans and their allies must have the resolve to win the war. Podhoretz has that will, he said. In fact, he added, Podhoretz's dedication to the Bush Doctrine is unparalleled, and it probably should be renamed the Podhoretz Doctrine.

Never fail to anticipate American resiliency

Upon accepting the award, Podhoretz asked if Americans have what it takes to take on our enemies, as did the "greatest generation" that defeated the Nazis. The jury may still be out, he said, because the nation is caught up in an "unresolved war of ideas" over whether to even fight this war.

"On one side stand those of us who see Islamofascism as the third in a series of totalitarian challenges to our civilization, and who insist on the correlative necessity of meeting and defeating it by military means where necessary and by nonmilitary instruments of power where possible," Podhoretz said. "On the other side of this war of ideas stand those who think that the threat is a mere criminal 'nuisance.'

In some ways, he said, we have it easier than in the preceding world wars; there is no mandatory military conscription, there is currently no rationing of supplies, and our taxes haven't been raised.

"But on the other hand, we have more cause to be anxious over the safety and security of our continental homeland than they were," Podhoretz said. "For in response to the claims that the Islamofascists are as nothing compared to the Wehrmacht and the Red Army, it cannot be said too often that neither Hitler nor Stalin ever managed to hit us literally where we live, let alone with weapons of mass destruction."

Podhoretz has been an advocate for using military force against Iran to prevent the Islamic Republic from attaining nuclear capability. Not only will the suicidal Iranian leaders use the bomb, they would share the technology with their jihadist customers, he said, noting that Iran is the world's leading sponsor of terror.

Like it or not, he said, Americans are going to have to fight and win this war. But Podhoretz was optimistic; despite the open defeatism of some, he said, the mettle and will of the American people have been doubted before. Against the Nazis, he said, some wondered if Americans were any match for the fascist fanatics; against the Soviets, some questioned whether Americans had the heart and the stomach to be effective against the Soviet regime.

Today, similar fears are flying about, Podhoretz said, though it would be unwise to underestimate the American people.

"In their determination, their courage, and their love of country, they are by all accounts a match and more than a match for their forebears of WWII and world war three," he said. "And who is to say that these young people are less representative of America than such of their elders and contemporaries who conspicuously lack the same virtues?"

Podhoretz concluded by expressing his hope that his book will help galvanize the spirit of those who thus far have chosen to ignore the threat, and those "who do not appreciate how infinitely precious is the heritage of liberty we are called upon to protect and preserve and, yes, to spread, so that it may long endure and not perish from the earth."

Quote'Russia is Public Enemy No. 1' – Mitt Romney

Published: 27 March, 2012, 13:16
Edited: 27 March, 2012, 23:27

US presidential candidate Mitt Romney has branded Russia as America's number one geopolitical enemy. He slammed President Obama's comments to Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev over flexibility concerning US missile defense as alarming and worrying.

"This is without question our number one geopolitical foe; they fight for every cause for the world's worst actors. The idea that he has more flexibility in mind for Russia is very, very troubling indeed," he said

The presidential hopeful cited this case, along with the new START treaty and the decision to reduce missile defense sites in Poland and Alaska, as "unfortunate developments."

While saying that the greatest current threat to the world is a "nuclear Iran," he lambasted Russia for consistently "standing up for the world's worst actors," referencing the Russian veto of the Security Council resolutions on Syria.

"The idea that our president is planning to do something with them [Russia] that he's not willing to tell the American people is something I find very alarming," Romney stressed.

Russia's outgoing President Dmitry Medvedev responded to the Republican frontrunner, saying Romney's remarks had a "Hollywood" flavor and pressed the American hopeful to check his watch: "It's 2012 now, not the mid-1970s."

Romney appeared on CNN to comment on President Obama's off-the-record moment with Medvedev during the international nuclear summit in South Korea. Obama was caught on camera saying that he would have more "flexibility" on thorny issues such as missile defense following the November elections.

Medvedev said he would pass the message on to President elect Vladimir Putin.

Obama addressed the wave of republican criticism following his statements on Monday, saying that he had no secret agenda with Russia and he was not trying "to hide the ball."

Washington released a statement in an effort to underplay Obama's words. The Whitehouse said the fact that both countries were going through elections this year meant a "breakthrough" in negotiations on the matter was not going to happen.

The US president then echoed this statement to the press during a break in the summit in Seoul on Tuesday, describing the current political climate as "not conducive" to these kinds of negotiations.

The planned US missile defense shield for Europe has been a major stumbling block for Russian-NATO relations. The US maintain that the shield will only be used for targets outside of Europe, while Russia says there is no guarantee the facility could not be turned against them.

Following his meeting with his US counterpart, President Medvedev described the last three years of US-Russian relations as the most productive ever.
­Playing the Cold War card

­Romney's harsh statement is really a remnant of the Cold War – and much of the Republican elite has expressed a negative attitude towards Russia before, said Aleksey Pushkov, the head of the Russian State Duma's Foreign Affairs Committee.

"Mr. Romney is not the only person to say such things. We have witnessed the same ideology proclaimed by Mr. Cheney when he was vice-president of the United States. Mr. Rumsfeld, the former US Defense Secretary, disliked Russia very much too," Pushkov told RT. "Also, Mr. McCain, when he was running for the presidency four years ago, he was basically saying the same things – that Russia is one of America`s adversaries."

However, Pushkov pointed out, Romney is considered to be a moderate Republican, and if a moderate Republican says that Russia is enemy number one, it is hard to imagine what a real conservative Republican might say.

Chris Lapetina, an analyst for the journal Democratic Strategist, also says the Cold War legacy is the engine behind Romney`s remark.

"There is some sentiment left over from the Soviet Union, there is an element of Americans both on the liberal side and the conservative side that almost suffer from paranoia about enemies seen and unseen," he said, adding that "Republican candidates are trying to tap into some of these people."

I'll tell you what is behind Romney's remark IMO:  The Republican Party is watching this populist website (and others like it) and knows exactly what to say to triangulate our vote, because it represents the vote of millions like us who are seeing through the charade.  

Well I have news for you, Mitt Romney:  I believe that you are going to tell me whatever I want to hear in order to get elected, and then you are going to do whatever the Capitalist Zionist Jews tell you, including provoke a losing confrontation with the JewSSR over "Israel".   I wouldn't vote for you if you were the last candidate on earth, you slick SOB.

Michael K.

Let me make something painfully clear: the gravity of the above exchange between Obama and Medvedeb, about flexibility with Putin after his election, has some drastic implications which are self-evident.  The Reuters article I posted on page six of this thread, http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/ ... 3A20120314, spells out in plain language what has been proposed:

QuoteThe Obama administration is leaving open the possibility of giving Moscow certain secret data on U.S. interceptor missiles due to help protect Europe from any Iranian missile strike.

A deal is being sought by Washington that could include classified data exchange because it is in the U.S. interest to enlist Russia and its radar stations in the missile-defense effort, a Pentagon spokeswoman said Tuesday in written replies to Reuters....

Republican Rep. Mike Turner, chairman of the House of Representatives' Armed Services subcommittee on strategic forces, faulted the administration for what he described as "caving" to Russian concerns at the expense of U.S. interests.

"That is why it is important Congress insist on protecting our classified missile defense information, and our right to deploy missile defenses without concern for Russia's posturing," he said in a statement Tuesday to Reuters.

The possibility for moving to an evil, single world government would be influenced by the US and Russia merging missile defenses against, "terrorists and rogue states", and we have people saying that Mitt Romney is the only hope because only he dares to speak of it.  But Mitt Romney is far behind several thousand others in speaking about it; hence he is following and not leading.  

We are seeing the same Jewopolistic deception repostulated yet again:  Two diametrically opposing Judeo-Masonic puppets parrot our concerns back to us based on demographic analysis, then proceed to do whatever, when one finally gets elected.  The end result is that voting when there are no real candidates just encourages them.

CrackSmokeRepublican

So what do you think is behind the Iran-Russian alliance at this point?  What's in it for Russia and what's in it for Iran from your perspective? Interesting notes on Romney.
After the Revolution of 1905, the Czar had prudently prepared for further outbreaks by transferring some $400 million in cash to the New York banks, Chase, National City, Guaranty Trust, J.P.Morgan Co., and Hanover Trust. In 1914, these same banks bought the controlling number of shares in the newly organized Federal Reserve Bank of New York, paying for the stock with the Czar\'s sequestered funds. In November 1917,  Red Guards drove a truck to the Imperial Bank and removed the Romanoff gold and jewels. The gold was later shipped directly to Kuhn, Loeb Co. in New York.-- Curse of Canaan

Michael K.

I think that Iran does not have a faithful ally in the JewSSR, but they are the only means by which Iran seems to be able to obtain air defense systems capable of deterring the Israelis and NATO.  Iran's northern neighbor is also guiding the fledgling nuclear industry in Iran, and in this relationship Iran bides its time and tries to learn as much as it can, and the Soviets try to give as little technical know-how and go as slow as possible in order to control things.  

But the Soviets don't entirely like Iran, and don't really want to be challenged by a nuclear armed Iran with missiles capable of breaking through its own electronic deterrents.  Iran has the North's vulnerable underbelly and blocks its access to the Indian Ocean.  The appearances of friendship are cultivated while both Iran and the Soviets search each other's vulnerabilities.

Material to this is the failure of the Soviets to deliver on the S-300 air-defense systems promised to Iran.  With that system Iran would actually be capable of challenging the Soviets over its own airspace, and of preventing the Zionists from penetrating from the south.  This shows singularly how strained the supposed alliance is.

But in the end, Iran knows that it is not safe from the Soviet sphere exerting its total eventual control over the region.  They are going it alone as much as Germany did, and history dictates that the tragic downfall will come from a betrayal by the Soviets.  In fact, if Iran goes to war with anyone to the south, they will be at the mercy of Russia who can open up a two-fronted war, a sure loss for Iran.

And my suspicion remains that the Communist Zionist Jews in the Soviet world have their own plan for an eventual State of Israel under a different political leadership, in which case Iran is the next piece which must be eliminated from the board to connect the JewSSR with Jerusalem by land and by pipeline.  Beyond that Syria is also at risk.

If Russia can in any way neutralize the US missile defenses in Eurasia, or use them for their own benefit, it will probably do so and with help from O'Commah and the fifth column of radical Commie Jews in his administration.  All they need is for a spy to succeed in getting the air-defense IFF codes for the Soviets, and they will be able to launch a pre-emptive strike on the CONUS before the security gap is recognized and repaired.

QuoteIs Michael McFaul, U.S. ambassador to Russia, in danger?
By Olivier Knox | The Ticket – 10 hrs ago

The United States formally complained to Moscow on Friday about possible danger to Ambassador Michael McFaul, a day after he described Russia as a "wild country" and charged repeatedly that a state-run broadcaster there may be hacking his email, spying on his telephone conversations and tracking his movements.

 "We have raised our concerns about the Ambassador's security with the Russian government," the State Department said in a terse written statement.

McFaul, a key architect of President Barack Obama's "reset" of relations with Russia, took to his Twitter feed on Thursday to charge that reporters with the Kremlin-controlled NTV television were stalking him and openly wondered how they obtained his schedule, which is not published.

"Everywhere I go NTV is there. Wonder who gives them my calendar? They wouldn't tell me. Wonder what the laws are here for such things?" he said in one Tweet. "I respect press' right to go anywhere & ask any question. But do they have a right to read my email and listen to my phone?" he said in another.

McFaul also made waves by engaging in a combative five-minute exchange in Russian Thursday with an NTV camera crew as he was on his way to a meeting with a human rights activist and critic of the Kremlin, Lev Ponomaryov.

"For me this is a very serious question because this is against the Geneva convention if you are going to get information from my telephone or my BlackBerry," McFaul said, Agence France-Presse reported.

"This is a wild country, it turns out. This is not normal. It does not happen in our country, it does not happen in Britain, in Germany, in China. Only here and only with you," he said.

In the footage, a reporter seen on camera told him she heard of the meeting from "open sources" without specifying.

McFaul later clarified his remarks on Twitter, saying "Just watched NTV. I mispoke in bad Russian. Did not mean to say 'wild country.' Meant to say NTV actions 'wild.' I greatly respect Russia."

The incident came as Obama weathered a controversy over candid but caught-on-tape comments to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, promising he will have more "flexibility" on issues like missile defense after the November election.

QuoteObama says he's not 'hiding the ball' on Russia
Associated PressBy BEN FELLER | Associated Press – Tue, Mar 27, 2012

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Speaking to the microphones intentionally this time, President Barack Obama on Tuesday assured he had no hidden agenda with Russia for a second term, seeking to contain a controversial gaffe that bounded all the way to the campaign trail at home and back again.

Obama got caught on tape Monday telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would have more room to negotiate on missile defense after getting through a November election, presumably expecting to win and not have to face voters again.

Obama's Republican rivals back home pounced, accusing him of secretive plotting and dealing over American national security. So one day later, with Medvedev at his side again, Obama tried some on-the-record candor and humor to put it all to rest.

The president's explanation: He wants to work with Russia on the deeply divisive issue of a missile defense shield in Europe, knowing only by building trust first on that matter can he make gains on another goal of nuclear arms reductions. And there's no way to expect progress during the politics of this election year, so he is already looking to 2013.

"This is not a matter of hiding the ball," Obama said, well aware of criticism erupting at home. "I'm on record."

Still, Obama had not meant for his initial political assessment to be heard. It was picked up by live microphones during a meeting with Medvedev and soon shot around the world. "This is my last election," Obama was heard telling Medvedev, Russia's outgoing president. "After my election, I have more flexibility."

Seizing on the comments, 43 Republican senators sent a letter to the president saying any concessions to the Russians would run counter to U.S. safety and security, and contradict assurances Obama gave the Senate when he secured ratification of the New START treaty in December 2010.

"We will oppose any efforts by your administration to arbitrarily limit our missile defense capabilities or pursue ill-advised nuclear arms reductions," wrote the senators, led by Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona.

Obama showed up at a nuclear security summit ready to clarify his caught-on-tape words even at the risk of overshadowing his message for a second day. He fielded a question but failed to address the presumptuousness of plotting 2013 strategy with Russia when, in fact, he must win election again for any of that to matter.

For Russia, the issues of nuclear weapons reduction and the proposed missile shield are related. Russian fears of new U.S. missiles at its doorstep in Europe have helped to stymie further progress on nuclear arms reductions after a breakthrough agreement two years ago.

Obama said he wants to spend the rest of this year working through technical issues with the Russians, and said it was not surprising that a deal couldn't be completed quickly.

"I don't think it's any surprise that you can't start that a few months before presidential and congressional elections in the United States, and at a time when they just completed elections in Russia, and they're in the process of a presidential transition," Obama told reporters. He spoke after making a separate announcement on nuclear security.

The president also sought twice to use humor to dispense with the controversy.

Before taking his seat at the nuclear summit, he caught Medvedev's eyes and said "Wait, wait, wait, wait." Obama then covered up his microphone in jest, enjoying a hearty laugh and handshake with the Russian leader.

And when he decided to offer his explanation about the flap, Obama said, "First of all, are the mics on?"

Obama's candid remarks Monday illustrated the political constraints that hem in any president who is running for re-election and dealing with a congressional chamber — in this case, the House — controlled by the rival party.

Republicans have fought Obama fiercely on health care, taxes and other issues. They are eager to deny him any political victories in a season in which they feel the White House is within reach.

Mitt Romney, the leading Republican contender to face Obama this fall, told a San Diego audience the unguarded comments were "an alarming and troubling development."

"This is no time for our president to be pulling his punches with the American people, and not telling us what he's intending to do with regards to our missile defense system, with regards to our military might and with regards to our commitment to Israel," said Romney, a former Massachusetts governor who often faces charges of having been flexible on his own policies over the years. <:^0

Rick Santorum, who is Romney's chief rival, said Tuesday that Obama's comments suggested he is willing to sacrifice U.S. security and the security of its allies.

"This isn't about politics. This is about the president's real agenda," Santorum said in Beaver Dam, Wis. "The president's real agenda is to withdraw, to allow — whether it's the Russians or the Chinese or whoever it is, the Iranians — let them have their run of the table because America's no longer in the business of protecting ourselves and our allies."

Republican candidate Newt Gingrich also questioned Obama's motives.

"I'm curious, how many other countries has the president promised that he'd have a lot more flexibility the morning he doesn't have to answer to the American people?" Gingrich said Monday on CNN.

Neither Obama nor Medvedev knew they were being heard when they conferred quietly at what was billed as their last meeting of Medvedev's presidency. He leaves office in May, to be replaced by the incoming Vladimir Putin.

According to ABC News, Medvedev replied in English: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir."

Obama said the way the Republicans seized on his comments only made his point that the atmosphere is too politicized right now to advance arms control with Russia.

"The only way I get this stuff done is if I'm consulting with the Pentagon, if I'm consulting with Congress, if I've got bipartisan support, and the current environment is not conducive to those kinds of thoughtful consultations," Obama said. "I think we'll do better in 2013."

There, again, Obama's remarks suggested he feels good about his re-election prospects.

QuoteMichelle Van Cleave: Russian Spies Haven't Gone Away
Even when presented with extensive evidence of espionage, this White House looks the other way.

(Hmmm, that's not like the relationship with pro-"Israel" Jews. -MK)

   April 20, 2012, 7:35 p.m. ET

By MICHELLE VAN CLEAVE

'He acts like he thinks the Cold War's still on," Vice President Joe Biden said when Mitt Romney recently called Russia America's No. 1 geopolitical foe. "I don't know where he's been." Actually, he's been right here—paying attention.

The vice president may be surprised to learn that there are as many Russian intelligence officers operating in the U.S. today as during the height of the Cold War—it is arrests and criminal proceedings that have fallen off.

We had nine full-blown Russian espionage cases in the 1980s, seven in the '90s, one in 2001 and then . . . nothing. It's been 11 years since the last Russian spy was arrested inside the U.S. government. But if you think that's good news, think again.

Robert Hanssen was arrested on Feb. 18, 2001, bringing to a close his 22-year career spying for the Soviet Union and then Russia while he was a special agent of the FBI. During that time he revealed some of our most sensitive national security secrets, costing lives and American taxpayers perhaps billions of dollars. Other security breaches could not be attributed to Hanssen or any known spy before him. The inescapable conclusion: There was another mole. And that was 11 years ago.

The principal job of most Russian intelligence officers is to find and recruit more Americans like Hanssen who have access to highly classified information. "Nothing has changed," warned Sergei Tretyakov, who defected in 2000 after running all Russian intelligence operations out of New York. "The SVR [KGB] rezidenturas in the U.S. are not less but in some respects even more active." From long and deep experience, these officers know what they are doing.

When Tretyakov died in 2010, the FBI had roughly 7,800 open foreign counterintelligence investigations on the books, including a fair number involving Americans suspected of working under Moscow's control. Yet none of the latter has led to prosecutions in the last decade (unless you count repeat offender Harold Nicholson, whose original 1997 sentence was extended eight years when he tried to resume spying by tasking his own son from his jail cell).

Why not?

Espionage investigations are time and manpower intensive. They require the investment of years of detailed analysis, surveillance, translations, asset development, intelligence collection and other operations. This means a huge amount of work often around the clock by teams of people with nothing to show for it for years at a time, if ever. And legally, espionage cases are very difficult to make.

Unless national leadership has the foresight to assign a sustained high priority to the foreign intelligence threat, counterespionage can easily find itself sidelined. Which is where it is today. And the hole is growing deeper.

"There is no such thing as a former KGB man," as Russian President (and former KGB man) Vladimir Putin famously said, which may help explain the concentration of political power in its successor the FSB, the official intimidation of nongovernmental organizations, and the systematic assassination of journalists and others critical of the regime. Not to mention all the spies in the U.S.

Rather than deal with these problems head-on, the Obama administration is kicking the can down the road. It dropped the strategic overhaul of our counterintelligence enterprise initiated by President Bill Clinton and advanced by President George W. Bush, leaving it to die quietly piece by piece. Despite the growing tempo and pervasiveness of hostile intelligence operations within U.S. borders, they have downgraded counterintelligence across the board—in dollars, billets, priority and station—including their handling of the largest peacetime espionage ring in U.S. history.

In 2010, the FBI rolled up 10 "illegals"—all Russian citizens living here under deep cover, part of a clandestine espionage support network under tightly held investigation for over a decade. Their long-awaited in-custody interviews promised rare insights into Russian intelligence operations in this country. Instead, all 10 were sent off to Moscow in a pre-emptive "spy swap" before they could even get debriefed.

White House spokesmen, fresh from championing the "reset" in relations with Moscow, carefully played down the illegals' arrests as a minor irritant. Public trials, which might have thrown enough of a spotlight on foreign intelligence threats to motivate elected representatives to take action, never happened. Little wonder Mr. Putin personally welcomed them home singing the unofficial anthem of the KGB.

Meanwhile, there is every reason to be concerned that more damaging spies are still in place, targeting essential secrets about American intelligence and military operations, negating decades of investment and putting American lives at risk.

It is a perfect storm. Russian global intelligence operations are a well-resourced and highly developed instrument of state power. Their main target—the United States—is preoccupied with other concerns. Even when presented with evidence of extensive espionage, the current administration looks the other way. And America's counterintelligence enterprise continues to lose ground.

Eleven years. Nothing has changed. The Russians act like the Cold War is still being waged. The question this administration should be asking is not where has Mr. Romney been, but where have Russia's spies been. No one, including our vice president, seems to know. And that's not good.

Ms. Van Cleave was head of U.S. Counterintelligence under President George W. Bush.

A version of this article appeared April 21, 2012, on page A15 in some U.S. editions of The Wall Street Journal, with the headline: Russian Spies Haven't Gone Away.

Russia's Cossacks start patrolling Moscow streets

MOSCOW (AP) — Renowned for their sword-fighting prowess and notorious for their anti-Semitism in czarist Russia, the Cossacks are taking on new foes: beggars, drunks, and improperly parked cars.

The Kremlin has sought to use the once-feared paramilitary squads, which spearheaded czarist Russia's expansion, in its new drive to promote conservative values and lure nationalists.

Eight Cossacks clad in traditional fur hats and uniforms patrolled a Moscow train station on Tuesday looking for signs of minor public disturbances.

The patrol, approved by the authorities, is a test-run on whether the group can become an armed and salaried auxiliary police force, like the Texas Rangers, with the power of arrest, patrol leader Igor Gurevich said.

"We're like Chuck Norris!" Gurevich said.

Russia Ousts Meddling US NGOs, Fake Protests Peter Out



Alexey Navalny
US-funded "activist"


Tony Cartalucci, Contributor
Activist Post

Saturday, December 15 saw a disappointing show for Western-backed protesters in Moscow - with estimates of only a few hundred showing up. Led by faux-Communist Sergey Udaltsov and confirmed Western-funded opposition leaders Alexey Navalny, Ilya Yashin, and Boris Nemtsov, even the Western media had to admit the momentum they had hoped to incite is failing to materialize.

AFP's "Year on, Russian opposition subdued but not defeated," and Washington Post's "Thousands protest against Putin, but opposition momentum has slowed," despite unqualified attempts to embellish the size and strength of both the protest and the opposition in general, reflect the winding down of Western attempts to foment chaos across Russia.

While the Washington Post cites Russian President Vladamir Putin's "co-opting" of opposition issues, by actually addressing legitimate concerns regarding his government, there is also another dimension that is more muted.

The Russian Battle Against Foreign Subversion.

Reuters alludes to other possible explanations in their article, "No Russian revolution after a year of protests," stating:
Putin was elected to a six-year third term in March and the parliament, dominated by his party, has pushed through laws which critics say can be used to stifle dissent - tightening controls of the Internet, imposing new checks on foreign-funded lobby groups and broadening the definition of treason.
Indeed, Russia has placed immense restrictions on foreign-funded lobby groups and NGOs, demanding that they exhibit the same level of transparency and honesty that they themselves demand of the government.

Foreign subversion, however, requires a degree of deceit and exploitation toward targeted segments of the population. Subversion will not work if its agents are required to state on all their pamphlets, websites, and signs that they are foreign-funded - and predictably both the US and the opposition it has contrived inside Russia, derided the pro-transparency legislation.

This is what Reuters categorically fails to mention - that the entire so-called "opposition" is in fact foreign-funded, with at least one of Saturday's protest leaders, Boris Nemtsov, earlier this year being caught slinking into the US Embassy for a secret meeting with then newly appointed US Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul

US Ambassador McFaul himself has chaired the US National Endowment for Democracy and Freedom House, both of which directly fund and support many amongst the "Russian" opposition. In other words Nemtsov in his early 2012 US Embassy appearance, was visiting his paymaster.



Images: Caught red-handed - Russia's opposition, long accused by the Kremlin of being foreign-funded, and who have well documented ties to the US State Department, are caught filing into the US Embassy in Moscow in January of 2012, just days after agitator Michael McFaul began his stint as US Ambassador to Russia.

QuoteAlexey Navalny, another leader present during Saturday's disappointing showing, was a Yale World Fellow, and in his profile it states:
Navalny spearheads legal challenges on behalf of minority shareholders in large Russian companies, including Gazprom, Bank VTB, Sberbank, Rosneft, Transneft, and Surgutneftegaz, through the Union of Minority Shareholders. He has successfully forced companies to disclose more information to their shareholders and has sued individual managers at several major corporations for allegedly corrupt practices. Navalny is also co-founder of the Democratic Alternative [DA!] movement and was vice-chairman of the Moscow branch of the political party YABLOKO. In 2010, he launched RosPil, a public project funded by unprecedented fundraising in Russia. In 2011, Navalny started RosYama, which combats fraud in the road construction sector.

The Democratic Alternative, also written DA!, is indeed a National Endowment for Democracy fund recipient, meaning that Alexey Navalny is an agent of US-funded sedition and willfully hiding it from his followers. The US State Department itself reveals this as they list "youth movements" operating in Russia:

QuoteDA!: Mariya Gaydar, daughter of former Prime Minister Yegor Gaydar, leads DA! (Democratic Alternative). She is ardent in her promotion of democracy, but realistic about the obstacles she faces. Gaydar said that DA! is focused on non-partisan activities designed to raise political awareness. She has received funding from the National Endowment for Democracy, a fact she does not publicize for fear of appearing compromised by an American connection.

Alexey was involved in founding a movement directly funded by the US government and to this day has the very people who funded DA! defending him throughout the Western media. The mention of co-founder Mariya Gaydar is also revealing, as she has long collaborated, and occasionally has been arrested with, Ilya Yashin, yet another leader of a NED-funded Russian "activist" opposition group.



Photo: Alexei Navalny, Yale World Fellow and co-founder of US National Endowment for Democracy Da! or "Democratic Alternative/Yes in Russian." It is yet another Otpor-esque organization courtesy of the United States government and willful traitors to their motherland.

Ilya Yashin, who was detained before arriving at Saturday's protest, leads the Moscow branch of the People's Freedom Party and is a leading member of the "Strategy 31" campaign, which claims to be fighting for the freedom of assembly. Unfortunately, Strategy 31's ranks are filled with activists trained and coordinated by US NED-funded NGOs. From the official NED.org website we find:

QuoteMoscow Group of Assistance in the Implementation of the Helsinki Accords $50,000. To draw greater attention to the issue of freedom of assembly in Russia and to the "Strategy 31" movement, which seeks to protect this fundamental right. The organization will train a network of regional activists and coordinate their activities through mini-seminars and field visits, and conduct an information cam­paign through press conferences, posters, and educational handouts pertaining to freedom of assembly, to be distributed to the general public by regional partners."

This is also confirmed in NED's "Democracy Digest" where the "Moscow Helsinki Group" is explicitly stated as leading Strategy 31 marches and that the group is a "long-time grantee of the National Endowment of Democracy.

Worst yet, Yashin's People's Freedom Party is lined not with aspiring youth seeking "freedom" for the Russian people, but rather lined with career politicians and businessmen collaborating with foreign-interests. Among them is Vladimir Ryzhkov, a member of the NED-funded, Washington-based World Movement for Democracy. There is also Boris Nemtsov whose adviser, Vladimir Kara-Murza (of Solidarnost) recently took part in a September 14, 2011 NED-sponsored event titled, "Elections in Russia: Polling and Perspectives" where they used a NED-funded polling organization, the "Levada Center," to project "winners" in upcoming elections and study the Manezh riots of 2010 - for now obvious reasons as the US attempts to fan the flames of unrest across Russia.

Russia Faces Subversion, not Revolution.

What gathered in Moscow on Saturday, December 15, 2012, was not a representation of the Russian people's dissatisfaction with their government. It was the organized, funded, and promoted manifestation of Wall Street and Washington's ambitions regarding the division and despoilment of the Russian nation - as it was well along the way of accomplishing in the 90's after the collapse of the Soviet Union during the "age of oligarchs.'

Like the West is attempting to do around the world, from Egypt to Tunisia, from Libya to Syria, and across Asia, it is couching hegemonic expansion within the cause of "democracy" and "freedom," diminishing both as it exploits the well-meaning intentions of millions around the world. The closing of the US NGO cash spigot in Russia and the subsequent petering out of the so-called opposition is not a coincidence - it is yet another exhibit of Western duplicity and its abuse of both the masses, and the better lives they seek.
