Sarajevo & the Serbian Black Hand : Synthetic Terror - Made in the British Foreign Office




"The colossal bloodletting of World War I began in Sarajevo, Bosnia with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife by a Serbian nationalist fanatic named Gavrilo Prinkip, an activist of the group called the Black Hand, a Mazzini-style Serbian underground national liberation group. But the Black Hand was controlled by Serbian military intelligence. Colonel Apis of Serbian military intelligence was in turn an asset of the Okhrana, the Russian intelligence, through the Russian military attaché in Belgrade, and he and Prinkip may also have been under the influence of the British-backed Grand Orient freemasons, which had been working towards a general European war since about 1906-7."

"Unbelievable that old Biff could have chosen that particular date!!

It could mean that that point in time inherently contains some sort of cosmic significance..... Almost as if it were the temporal junction point for the entire space-time continuum.... 


On the other hand, it could just be an amazing coincidence."

MH370/MH17 : Israel's Spare Malaysian 777




"A top pro-Russia rebel commander in eastern Ukraine has given a bizarre version of events surrounding the Malaysian jetliner crash — suggesting many of the victims may have died days before the plane took off.

The pro-rebel website Russkaya Vesna on Friday quoted Igor Girkin as saying he was told by people at the crash site that “a significant number of the bodies weren’t fresh,” adding that he was told they were drained of blood and reeked of decomposition."

Associated Press


"Why has this plane, a former Malaysia Airlines plane exactly like the missing MH370, been kept in Israel by GA Telesis, a supposedly Florida-based company? 

This photo is from an Israeli planespotter forum that identifies the plane as GA Telesis N105GT at Tel Aviv airport on December 2, 2013."



GA Telesis only has one plane in its fleet, a Boeing 777 with a registration number N105GT. Why did GA Telesis give the plane a new registration number if it was scheduled for dismantling?  



Well, it was renumbered in Florida, photographed taking off from there, and photographed again in a hanger in Tel Aviv in April.

To complicate matters, the original MH370 is confirmed as having landed in Diego Garcia, and appears to have been transferred elsewhere by commercial freighter - destination unknown.

It's a fair bet that at least at some point there will have been two Malaysian Airline 777-ERs flying around with identical tail numbers (and identical transponder codes too, presumably).

Which shows, I think, just how truly stupid and gullible they really must think we all are - nothing on Earth is more rigourously logged and audited than aircraft components and maintainence schedules - it's impossible to conduct a basic air crash investigation without that information.

Every piece of the plane has a serial number on it and a full service history - that being the case, you may as well not both renumbering the plane itself with a new tail number, since none of the parts will match the records kept for that plane.

Dear Ms Longo,

I am a journalist who would like to ask a couple questions about a plane that belongs to your company, or did so until quite recently: N105GT GA Telesis Boeing 777.

This is a former Malaysia Airlines plane that was reported to have been scheduled for dismantling in Fort Lauderdale, as per the GA Telesis press release of July 10, 2013, which bears your name at the bottom.

Your press release has the MSN of this plane as 28418? Is that the correct MSN?


My questions are about the status of this plane today. Is this the same plane that is described in the following webpage of Planespotters.net? This plane has the MSN 28416. Are these two different planes or is one of the MSN numbers incorrect? The Operator History has this plane listed as operated by GA Telesis but stored in Tel Aviv since November 4, 2013.


Why was the GA Telesis plane scheduled for dismantling in the United States given a new registration number (N105GT) and then flown to Tel Aviv?  What is the status of this plane today?

With many thanks for your prompt consideration of my questions.

THE ISRAELI CONNECTION

In January 2011, GA Telesis acquired an Israeli-run company called Ultimate Aircraft Composites, LLC.  Aviv Tzur, an Israeli, was the executive chairman of Ultimate Aircraft Composites and remained in that position in the company that was re-named GA Telesis Composite Repair Group, LLC, a subsidiary of GA Telesis.

Aviv Tzur is also the vice chairman and treasurer of the Israel-American Chamber of Commerce, Florida Region.  He has worked with Israeli aircraft companies in south Florida since the 1990s. One of his companies specialized in converting passenger planes into cargo planes, like the planes that were used on 9-11 are thought to have been.

Aviv Tzur, Yoel Saraf, and Michael Navon, are the only directors of GA Telesis Composite Repair Group, LLC, according to company information from Businessweek.  Tzur and Saraf are certainly Israeli; Navon probably is also.

I called Aviv Tzur to ask about the plane being kept in Israel.  When I told him that GA Telesis had a plane identical to the missing Malaysia Airlines plane in a hangar in Tel Aviv, he laughed and told me that I should ask GA Telesis.  I told him that the people who answered the phone at GA Telesis Composite Repair Group, LLC, did not recognize his name when I called although he is listed as executive chairman of the company.  He told me that only the guys at the top would know about his position with the company, which I find odd.  Tzur has several companies that are all registered at the same address as GA Telesis Composite Repair Group at 3420 NW 53rd St. in Fort Lauderdale.




Aviv Tzur is listed as Executive Chairman and member of the board of GA Telesis Composite Repair Group, LLC, but the telephone receptionist said he had never heard of Tzur or his Israeli buddies, Saraf and Navon.  What kind of company is this?  Source:  Businessweek.com

As I have pointed out in the Solving 9-11 books, in false-front business operations it is often the unseen Israeli component of what appears to be an American company that is actually controlling the company.  This appears to be the case with Aviv Tzur at GA Telesis and would explain why the only plane in their fleet, a twin of the missing MH370, is in a hangar in Tel Aviv - and why no one at the company wants to talk about it.

If GA Telesis has a valid business reason for sending the only plane in its fleet to Israel, why is it so reluctant to provide an explanation?  Why did Aviv Tzur laugh when I told him that a plane identical to the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 is in a hangar in Tel Aviv?  Is there a diabolic plan to use the plane as a doppelganger of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane in a false-flag terror operation?  If there were such a plan, the exposure of the GA Telesis' twin plane in a hangar in Tel Aviv may have prevented it from being carried out.

"The Planes of 9-11" by Christopher Bollyn, from Solving 9-11: The Deception that Changed the World


The Maltese Double Cross






"The local police force, Dumfries and Galloway, they were most concerned at the SWARMS of Americans, fiddling with bodies, and shall we say tampering with those things that the police were carefully checking themselves. 

I'm not pretending that they said they were from the FBI or the CIA - they were just Americans, who seemed to have arrived extremely quickly, on the secne..." 
- Tam Dalyell MP




The Maltese Double Cross – Lockerbie discusses evidence and witnesses that would eventually figure at the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial in 2000:

• The Mebo MST — 13 timer fragment, which Thomas Thurman of the FBI's forensic laboratory said that he identified on June 15, 1990;

• Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, former prime minister of Iran, discusses the idea that Iran took revenge for the shootdown by the USS Vincennes of Iran Air Flight 655 in July 1988.

• Mebo's Swiss owner, Edwin Bollier, is interviewed at length;

• Forensic scientist, Dr Michael Scott, describes DERA's 'forensic expert', Alan Feraday, as a technician without any formal qualifications as a scientist;

• Solicitor, Alastair Logan, criticises DERA's Dr Thomas Hayes for the forensic evidence that was used to convict the Maguire Seven;

• Former CIA operative, Oswald LeWinter says the appointment of 'Libyan dirty tricks expert', Vincent Cannistraro, to head the CIA's team investigating Lockerbie 'would be funny, if it were not an obscenity';

• Department of Defense Whistle Blower Lester Coleman linked the bomb to a terrorist cell trained by CIA operative, Edwin P. Wilson; and,

• Best-selling author, David Yallop, reviews the available evidence and looks at who might have been responsible for the Lockerbie bombing.

The documentary disputes the conclusion reached by the official investigation into the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, instead advancing the theory that the bomb was introduced onto the aircraft by an unwitting drug mule, Khaled Jafaar, in what the filmmaker claims is a CIA-protected suitcase.

Directed by Allan Francovich

The film had been the focus of active attempts at suppression. 

Francovich died of an apparent heart attack while going through U.S. customs in Houston, with documents in his possession that would exonerate whistleblower Lester Coleman and implicate the Reagan and Bush administrations and the CIA in a number of unsavory and illegal activities.


In The Maltese Double-Cross, Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, former Prime Minister of Iran, discusses the idea that Iran took revenge for the shootdown by the USS Vincennes of Iran Air Flight 655 in July 1988 by authorising the downing of Pan-Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie.

In the second half of 1988, it was well-known and common knowledge that the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran had raised and made available a $1 million bounty for any person or group who could bring down a US passenger jet - a fact exploited to the full by Oliver North, George HW Bush and The Secret Team, using Mossad front-group, the People's Front for the Liberation of Palestine (General Command) (PFLP-GC), under the command of Ahmed Jabril, proxy of General Ariel Sharron and North's partners in the Heroin trade in the Bekkar Valley as a conduit through which to smuggle aboard the bomb.

FINAL – Spanish Air Controller @ Kiev Borispol Airport: Ukraine Military Shot Down Boeing #MH17

FLASH UPDATEIndustry Outlet Confirms Carlos (@spainbuca) as ATC at Borispol in Kiev
(See the Text of Carlos / @spainbuca Tweets Below the Article)
OriginalEturboNews (ETN Global Travel Industry News) – July 17, 2014
ETN received information from an air traffic controller in Kiev on Malaysia Airlines flight MH17.
This Kiev air traffic controller is a citizen of Spain and was working in the Ukraine. He was taken off duty as a civil air-traffic controller along with other foreigners immediately after a Malaysia Airlines passenger aircraft was shot down over the Eastern Ukraine killing 295 passengers and crew on board.
The air traffic controller suggested in a private evaluation and basing it on military sources in Kiev, that the Ukrainian military was behind this shoot down. Radar records were immediately confiscated after it became clear a passenger jet was shot down.
Military air traffic controllers in internal communication acknowledged the military was involved, and some military chatter said they did not know where the order to shoot down the plane originated from.
Obviously it happened after a series of errors, since the very same plane was escorted by two Ukrainian fighter jets until 3 minutes before it disappeared from radar.
Radar screen shots also show an unexplained change of course of the Malaysian Boeing. The change of course took the aircraft directly over the Eastern Ukraine conflict region.
Some tweets received suggest this may have been a secret military uprising against the current Ukrainian president under the direction of formerly-jailed Prime Minister Timoshenko.
According to other rumors, the black box for this crashed Malaysian Airlines flight was taken by Donetsk separatists. A spokesperson for the rebel group said this black box would be sent to the Interstate Aviation Committee headquartered in Moscow.
The First Deputy Prime Minister of the self-proclaimed People’s Republic of Donetsk, Andrew Purgin, stated that the flight recorders of the crashed aircraft will be transferred to Moscow for examination.
Sources say the Rebel group leadership hopes this would confirm the Ukrainian military actually shot down this aircraft. This was reported by the news agency Interfax-Ukraine.
ETN statement: The information in this article is independently confirmed and based on the statement of one airline controller and other tweets received.

IATA: Whatever Happened to MH17, the Kiev Criminals are to Blame





Statement on MH17 by IATA Director General and CEO Tony Tyler


Geneva, Switzerland - 15:30GMT
I share the shock and sadness expressed by so many around the world on the terrible loss of MH 17. At this time, it is important we are very clear: safety is the top priority. No airline will risk the safety of their passengers, crew and aircraft for the sake of fuel savings. Airlines depend on governments and air traffic control authorities to advise which air space is available for flight, and they plan within those limits. 
 
It is very similar to driving a car. If the road is open, you assume that it is safe. If it’s closed you find an alternate route. 
 
Civil aircraft are not military targets. Governments agreed that in the Chicago Convention. And what happened with MH 17 is a tragedy for 298 souls that should not have happened in any airspace.

Salami Tactics - NATO and the Near Abroad


Salami Tactics : NATO History 1989-Present from Spike EP on Vimeo.


Who are, or what is, the near abroad? Who coined the phrase in Russian, and who first translated it into this English phrase? What does it mean, and is it important?
The answer to the last is: you bet it's important, because the words deal with the new relationship between Russia and the other republics of the former Soviet Union. Tension on the border of Ukraine and Russia, for example -- with Moscow claiming influence over ethnic Russian brethren within Ukraine -- cannot be reported without the use of this big diplomatic term.
A fishhook in this space last month, citing a few not-so-early uses of near abroad -- the best translation of the Russian blizhneye zarubezhye -- drew some nibbles from sources more adept than me at the use of data bases.
The earliest use in Nexis, Fred Shapiro of New Haven writes, is an article in The Russian Press Digest of June 9, 1992, titled "Near Abroad Wants to Be Far"; by Dec. 7 of that year, Strobe Talbott -- then a Time magazine columnist, now Deputy Secretary of State -- had picked up the troublesome phrase: "Many Russians have not yet been able to accept the idea that the 14 non-Russian republics of the U.S.S.R. are today independent foreign countries. Russian politicians have even coined a new phrase -- the near abroad -- to distinguish between the former republics and the rest of the world."

Meanwhile, Mary V. McGlynn of Brussels was searching News Retrieval, a Dow Jones product, and scorning that service's discouraging word that near was a linking word used in searching and not usable as a keyword. She found: "With regard to conflict situations in countries of the near abroad," wrote Sovinfolink, The Soviet Press Digest, on Aug. 20, 1992, summarizing in English a piece in Nezavisimaya Gazeta, " [ Russian Foreign Minister Andrei ] Kozyrev is critical about attempts to threaten neighbors."
An earlier Kozyrev use was found by Paul Brock, a consultant for Dialog, Knight-Ridder's data retrieval service: "Foreign Minister Kozyrev warns that every Russian gesture of 'heroic patriotism' will trigger Russophobia in Ukraine," Mark Frankland wrote in The Observer on April 26, 1992, "and the rest of what Moscow now calls 'the near abroad,' that is the old Soviet Union."
That's the printed-citation winner so far of that phrase in English. Other translators in early 1992 were reaching for the best way to handle the Russian idea. Roger Donway, managing editor of Orbis in Philadelphia, culled the Foreign Broadcast Information Service for its translations of the Russian phrase. On Jan. 15, 1992, Izvestiya referred to "the concept of 'abroad close at hand,' " putting the phrase in quotation marks. Tass, on April 9, 1992, used "nearby foreign lands"; three days later, the Moscow Russian Television Network spoke of what the broadcast information service reported as "countries not far abroad, as they call it." Later that month, Interfax, in English, wrote of "the emergence of a new geopolitical entity, which is often referred to as the Near Foreign Countries."
The seminal phrase, blizhneye zarubezhye, was obviously giving translators a hard time. Blizhneye is the neuter of blizhniy, an adjective meaning "near" (Near East is Blizhniy Vostok), but "zarubezhye is a noun with no English equivalent," writes Kenneth Katzner of Washington, author of the English-Russian, Russian-English Dictionary, based on American English. "It is built around rubezh, a word meaning 'border.' The prefix za means 'beyond.' "
Mr. Katzner thinks that the translation near abroad, with or without capitals, is an abomination because abroad is essentially an adverb that should not be preceded by a modifier, and that the translator is someone "we should string up by his heels," apparently an old authoritarian custom.
This position is countered by Christian Caryl of Berlin, who writes: "Both German and Russian routinely and naturally use abroad as a noun. When confronted with near abroad for the first time, I remember wondering how I'd translate it into English, where abroad is so strictly adjectival -- the 'nearby foreign countries'? Imagine my delight when I began to see others blithely breaking the rules. Now abroad has entered English as a noun."
My Berlin correspondent says he noted in his diary on June 7, 1991, this explanation of the concept in Russian: " 'The term originally had an ironic nuance,' said the historian Ivan Ivanovich. 'People spoke of nastoyashchyeye za rubezhye, "the present-day abroad." But now the words have acquired a purely informational meaning, in order to distinguish the new states of the C.I.S. [ Commonwealth of Independent States, a title now in the dustbin of history ] from the "original" abroad.' "
To follow up the history of the phrase in Russian, without citations: "Near abroad was used extensively by Soviet dissidents in the 1970's and 80's," notes Terry Thompson of Ellicott City, Md. "Russians under Brezhnev used the expression in either ironic or wistful tones. The serious connotation of the phrase was that the Russian people had to sacrifice a higher standard of living to support their 'socialist comrades' everywhere."
William Bodie of Los Angeles first heard the expression in January 1992 from Paul Goble of the Carnegie Endowment as a term in use throughout political Moscow referring to the non-Russian republics of the recently defunct U.S.S.R. He sees the phrase as political rather than geographical or demographic.
"Rightly or wrongly," Mr. Bodie writes, "Russia's political classes have difficulty viewing the republics on its periphery as fully sovereign entities; use of the term near abroad, in addition to qualifying their independence, signifies to the 'far abroad' that Russia claims certain rights in the region that transcend traditional diplomatic conventions."
Many of the people in those adjacent countries, especially the non-Russians, reject this heavy-handed Russian version of the Monroe Doctrine that some Moscow officials call a "hen gathering up its chicks."
Mr. Bodie notes, "In Riga, Kiyiv and a dozen other capitals, the chicks consider Russian policy to be the Roosevelt Corollary as interpreted by Ivan the Terrible."
Thus, what we know so far about this most significant diplomatic coinage since the popularization of detente in the early 70's is that it made the jump into English in early 1992, and that near abroad means "the claim by Russia of political interest and influence in states adjacent to it that were once part of the Soviet Union." Some political lexicographers (namely, me) insist that it has a second sense of "ethnic Russians living as a minority, sometimes supposedly oppressed, outside the borders of Russia."

The Myth of Russian Aggression


Even Zbigniew Brezezinski thinks you're an idiot.

"Break this man with sanctions...?"  Russia is a resource economy Germany imports 60-80% of its natural gas, upon which it's entire energy infrastructure and productive economy absolutely cannot do without.

And Germany is the EU, as well as being the senior European Partner in NATO.

The only thing being "broken" by talk of sanctions against Russia is the British water table and continental shelf since the British Government, siezed by pure, crass, venal greed, have exploited the crisis as an excuse to ram through legislation fast-tracking commercial hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") techniques in the name of flammable tap-water, and the pipe-dream (pun intended) of future energy independence from Russia (which is never going to happen).

What sanctions do you propose to make the Russian economy scream more than the German, US, or moribund British industry?

Outlaw Tetris? Freedom Vodka?

A Buluga Caviar embargo? Because it worked so well with the Havana Cigars....

Boycott, Divestment and Sactions against all performances by the Moscow State Circus and the Bolshoi...?





"Let us re-examine our attitude toward the Soviet Union. It is discouraging to think that their leaders may actually believe what their propagandists write. It is discouraging to read a recent authoritative Soviet text on Military Strategy and find, on page after page, wholly baseless and incredible claims - - such as the allegation that 

" American imperialist circles are preparing to unleash different types of wars…that there is a very real threat of a preventive war being unleashed by American imperialists against the Soviet Union…(and that) the political aims of the American imperialists are to enslave economically and politically the European and other capitalist countries…(and) to achieve world domination."

Truly, as it was written long ago: "The wicked flee when no man pursueth." Yet it is sad to read these Soviet statements - - to realize the extent of the gulf between us. 

But it is also a warning - - a warning to the American people not to fall into the same trap as the Soviets, not to see only a distorted and desperate view of the other side, not to see conflict as inevitable, accommodations as impossible and communication as nothing more than an exchange of threats."


"In 1971, Reagan - then governor of California - attended a banquet to honor State Senator James Mills. After the main course, he asked Mills if he was familiar with "the fierce Old Testament prophet Ezekiel." 

He went on to explain that Russia was the Magog described in Ezekiel's prophecy and was thus  doomed to destruction.

"In the thirty-eighth chapter of Ezekiel it says God will take the children of Israel from among the heathen [where] they'd been scattered and will gather them again in the promised land," Reagan told Mills. "Ezekiel says that . . . the nation that will lead all the other powers into darkness against Israel will come out of the north. 

What other powerful nation is to the north of Israel [besides Russia]? None. But it didn't seem to make sense before the Russian revolution, when Russia was a Christian country. Now it does, now that Russia has become communistic and atheistic, now that Russia has set itself against God. Now it fits the description perfectly." 

Reagan conceded that "everything hasn't fallen into place yet," but he strongly believed the end of the Soviet empire and the second coming of Christ were increasingly close at hand."

"Other than he's a KGB bastard, a terrorist, murderer, dictator, totalitarian egomaniac who allows no opposition, and most importantly, invades independent nations and annexes territories he has no right to? And shoots planes down? Other than that ... yeah, very warm and fuzzy guy."

Bwa-haha-haha!


Firstly, you need to stop reading the Left Behind books.

This isn't the Rapture, he isn't Vladimir Carpathia, and he isn't the Antichrist.

Russia is NOT Gog, or the Land of Mongol Hordes.


United Nations Secretary-General (and Antichrist) Nicolae Carpathia of Magog.

Now: let's dissect this-

"he's a KGB bastard"

He's also a devout Orthodox Christian and his parentage is well-known.

President Bush (both of them) were in the CIA, AND Skull & Bones, and Bush Sr was in the Carlyle Group, and was one of the former Directors of Central Intelligence.

President Obama is a Rockefeller Democrat, product of the university of Chicago, run for the White House by the Trilateral Commission, product of a (broken) CIA Household; he and his wife are Phi Beta Kappa, and his is the Boulé, the Black Skull & Bones 

Bill Clinton is a Rhodes Scholar, Phi Beta Kappa at Yale and was raised in the DeMolay Society.

Ronald Reagan was a self-taught occultist (after Manley P. Hall), product of the Mob-controlled AMA and Screen Actor's Guild, the John Birch Society, and was a Friendly Witness at HUAC, who named names.

Jimmy Carter was a puppet and a creature of the Trilateral Commission.

Gerald Ford was a Shriner, a Freemason and an FBI informant.

Richard Nixon and John Kennedy were a Quaker and an Irish Catholic respectively, and so swore no secret oaths or bonds of allegiance to anyone and were both removed from office by The Brotherhoods. 

Lyndon Johnson was a Freemason; Dwight Eisenhower was a Rotarian (I believe); Harry Truman was a Shriner and a Freemason;

Franklin Roosevelt AND Henry Wallace were both Shriners, Grand Master Masons and (according to Peter Lavenda) practicing Occultists.

George Washington was a Freemason, a General in the British Army and an Indicted Traitor and Oathbreaker.

Putin was an officer in the KGB, and later the FSB, yes. This is no secret. He gives interviews about it.

Unlike Bush Sr, he was never the Head of the Secret Police, prior to assuming office. And Bush denies ever being in the CIA prior to November 1975, when he was appointed to head it, which is a lie.

The KGB Perseus an independent foreign policy; the CIA clearly does not (except in the sense that it is independent of the overt, some-what elected Government).

So, that's a plus. I fail to see your point.

" terrorist"

In order to make this clear, for your point to be admissible, you must distinguish between State Terror and the Terrorism of Non-State Actors.

Putin has never even been accused of Terrorism waged against his own state, or any other, and by definition, any acts perpetrated or initiated by him as either a KGB/FSB Officer, or as the Head of State (such as PLF-101) would be an Act of State.

No American has ANY moral authority tolecture others about State Terror - let alone point the finger at any one individual...


"murderer"

Who has he (personally) murdered, or had murdered, for reasons other than that they were an Enemy of the State? 

How many Enemies of the Zionist State has Netanyahu had murdered in the last 8 hours..?

And EVERY Revolutionary, will tell you, from Herod, to Machiaveli, to Castro and Ché, that "The State has a right to protect itself" - crimes against the State are Treason, and in most cultures and most societies (except Cuba, and traditionally Russia), Treason is punishable by Death.

Why do you think the Gulag was invented? The traditional, Tsarist, Marxist-Lennist punishment for Political Crimes was Exile, not Death. That's now considered "inhumane"...

"dictator"

He has a Duma, and there are regular elections (which are free and fair), constitutional government and open debate.

The Far-Right, who @Will Ruha spoke of, have a voice, they can be heard, but unlike the American Far-Right, a tiny minority of crazy people cannot hold the entire country to ransom and subvert the system of government through the abuse of parliamentary procedures and filibuster.

Democracy in Russia works - the insane people who lose under the democratic system in Russia (such as Zhyranovski, Pussy Riot and the  National Bolsheviks) will tell you it doesn't, and stupid people like @Will Ruha who don't like Putin or Russian independence will chose to to believe them.

Putin listens to his opponents and critics. They are in his government, and they shout a LOT...

"totalitarian egomaniac who allows no opposition"

See previous answer. This is simply untrue. It's a lie.

He has a self-confidence that terrifies and unnerves people naturally disposed towards opposing his agenda, but his ego is certainly neither outsized, nor disproportionate to his actual ability.

Again, he's a devout Christian, a pragmatic and practical man, with a frankly astonishing degree of humility for a man with so much potential power to abuse.



"and most importantly, invades independent nations and annexes territories he has no right to? "

Which nations? Since 1918, the only recognised, independent League of Nations/United Nations member state EVER to be invaded by either the Soviet Union or the Russian  Federation was Afghanistan - and since they were invited by the Afghan Government, in the midst of waging a defensive Civil War against CIA/NATO-sponsored insurgents, that hardly counts as being so egregious.

Let's do the list - 

Since 1999: Chechnya and Dagestan are provinces and constituent republics of the Russia Federation, where Russian Citizens were being slaughtered and ethnically cleansed by NATO-Arab Legion backed forces. No territory annexed, no independent nations invaded.

Georgia: in 1991, prior to the breakup of the Soviet Union, forces in the breakaway Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic unilaterally declared independence in contravention of international law, launched a Civil and regional war and began annexing adjacent parts of Russia in a land-and-oil grab, most notably South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

South Ossetia and Abkhazia and part of RUSSIA. Under every reading of international law. 

When the Soviet Union dissolved in December 1991, Georgian Soviet Foreign Minister Edward Schervnazda returned home to Georgia (as a patriot), ran for office and was elected as President for three consecutive terms.

Independent post-Soviet Georgia flourished, and quickly ended the Civil War, agreeing a bilateral peacekeeping force with the Russian Federation to administer the disputed provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, pending a plebiscite, popular referendum (once the Georgian terrorism had ceased, which it never did), and then a possible transfer of soverignty, according to the outcome of the vote.

In 2002, Scherevnazda was removed by a CIA People Power Coup/Colour Revolution, and replaced with the IMF Puppet (and complete raving lunatic Russophobe) Mikhail Sakhashvelli.

In August 2008, becoming impatient, Sakhashvelli ordered the Georgian army to attack and INVADE RUSSIA, (treading the well-worn paths of Napoleon, Genghis Khan and Hitler), pushing out the Russian elements of the bilateral PEACEKEEPING forces in Abkhazia and South Ossetia, declared that the Russians had attacked first and Georgia annexed Abkazia, South Ossetia and some strategic Russian high-ground in the next Russia provinces up.

Russia then occupied it's own territory, evicted the Georgian army, restored Russian soverignty and then explained itself to the world, most of whom were not interested in hearing it.

Then there is the tiny Russian enclave of Soviet Red Army officers in Moldova - they have been there since 1990, and Moscow discreetly resupplies them and recognises the government they proclaimed in 1990, although not in the UN or other world bodies.

As does Moldova, which acknowledges, de facto, the tiny Soviet enclave by ignoring it. It's a tiny bacillus of the Former Soviet Union that bothers no-one but John McCain, who is offended by the very fact of its existence. But these Soviet citizens have a right to self-determination and their own system of government, and if no-one but the Russians will support them, they're just fine with that.

It was part of the Soviet Union in 1990, and they consider themselves (still) a constituent republic of the Soviet Union today - nothing was occupied of any foreign nation, and no-one is insisting that the Pope annexed the Vatican to the detriment of the Kingdom of Italy. Likewise, no-one cares.

"and most importantly, invades independent nations and annexes territories he has no right to? "

Firstly, the Crimea. In words of one syllable, where possible.

They. Had. An. ELECTION.

A free one, where there was overwhelming popular support for rejoining the Russian Federation and abandoning Nulandistan and the Kiev Criminals.


The Crimea is not part of the Ukraine, and never has been.

Even the New York Times, in 1918, (the first map in history ever to have a place called "The Ukraine" marked anywhere on it, by the way), in their article "Dismembered Russia" groups it in with The Caucassian borders to the South.

Crimea is Russia and the people of Crimea are Russians and want to live in Russia. Including the Muslims, Turkmen and Tartars.

Not NATO, not the EU. Mother Russia. 98.56%.


Second: Russia and the Western Powers undertook bilaterally in 1994 that both would guarantee and ensure a strong, independent, neutral and non-aligned Ukraine, whilst the West undertook to respect acknowledge the continuation of Russia's rights of access and soverignty, within agreed parameters, over the strategic air and naval bases and assets located within the Crimea and Eastern Ukraine vital to Russia's national interest and securing access to the Black Sea Fleet and the Dardanelles.

Russia always upheld this treaty and has never violated it. Russian forces and troop movements to its bases in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine never exceeded those allowed under the 1994 agreement, prior to the Crimean Referendum in Ukraine, and never have in Eastern (Free) Ukraine to this day.


In 2004, and on an ongoing basis from October 2013, the Western Powers have unilaterally violated every aspect of that bilateral agreement to ensure a free, non-aligned and independent Ukraine. Intentionally, and with aggression and malice of forethought.

Under the 1994 agreement, Russia removed it's strategic nuclear forces and arsenal from Ukraine, whilst retaining it's Black Sea Fleet and conventional forces, logistics and support elements in perpetuity.

Pressuring Ukraine to join NATO violates this treaty. Joining the Russian Energy Market collective would violate this treaty. Overthrowing the elected government of Ukraine violates that treaty. Pressuring Ukraine with a speculative EU-Association agreement and offering cash bribes to join the European Soviet Union violates that treaty. Engineering a putsch and deposing the President of Ukraine by extra-Constitutional means an imposing the Cabal of State Dept. hand-picked Kiev Criminals and IMF Puppet Vampires such as the Chocolate King violates that treaty.

Vladimir Putin has never violated that treaty, or made any other aggressive act towards either the Ukraine itself, or the Western Powers of the EU, NATO or Nulandistan.

Violating that treaty is an aggressive act against Russia by NATO. These are facts.

Russia is justified and wise to take defensive measures and act unilaterally to protect itself from Chaos and anarchy on its doorstep brought their by NATO.




Ezekiel 38-39King James Version (KJV)

38 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:

11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord God; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

15 And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:

16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

17 Thus saith the Lord God; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?

18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my fury shall come up in my face.

19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;

20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man's sword shall be against his brother.

22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.

39 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

2 And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

4 Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken.

9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:

10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.

12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.

13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God.

14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.

15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.

16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.

18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God.

21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward.

23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.

24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.

25 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;

26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.

27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;

28 Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
