Sanctions On Russia: Economic Operation Barbarossa

From Daniel Larison:

The recent act of “the West” — governments and central bankers in league and in unison — to expropriate what Biden called “Putin’s $630 billion war fund” is really off the charts by way of economic warfare, something that just wasn’t done in the 18th and 19th centuries, even in terrible extremities. Debts were paid, even to cretins. The reputation for trustworthiness was the banker’s most precious asset, and it became the creed of nations. Only by an authoritative legal process, governed by the law of nations, might someone else get their hands on your stash.

In the three centuries before 1914, beginning the age in which all restraints in war, military and economic, were obliterated, such a default was seen in “civilized Europe” as equivalent to the method of “the barbarian” — “we like, we take.” But not only by them. Vigorous shakings of the head in disapproval would also have come from the Princes of Africa, the Sultan of the Turks, the Kings of Persia and China, the Great Mogul of India, the Grand Duke of Moscovy, the Emperor of Ethiopia (Prester John), the rulers of Japan and Morocco, and the Khanate of Crimea………

…The commentariat treats this Vast and Unprecedented Expropriation, this Financial H-Bomb, alongside things like sanctioning Putin’s niece as just parts of a generic class of “sanctions,” as if they were two peas in a pod, when the Central Bank Expropriations are a revolutionary stake into the heart of the global economic system. They will one day be seen as hurtling us to a new monetary order, distinguished across the East-West divide by a rabid neomercantilism, wealth-destroying but inexorable.

In name the central bank actions are a freeze, but in actuality they constitute a debt repudiation, a default, on a far bigger scale than anything engineered by the Bolsheviks, who put the debts of the Tsar to the torch when they came to power.

The situation is made all the more incredible by two facts. First, the contemporary default occurred at the center of the financial order, not at its periphery. That makes it staggering and unlike any other. Second, it was cooked up in a couple of hours by U.S. government staffers. Previous discussions of sanctions had always treated Russia’s removal from SWIFT as the Absolute Weapon. The Great Freeze on Russian assets never made it into the press.

Our leaders in thought and action, the ones at the top of the political and financial and corporate media hierarchy, violated the first rule, the indispensable rule, the rule on which our grand financial edifice was built. Full faith and credit wasn’t just a phrase; it was a way of life. The idea of it, a new model of civilization, generated rules that most princes and peoples came to respect. No more………

Cassandra would like to say in reply: the Great Expropriation will come to be regarded as the financial equivalent of Operation Barbarossa, which sowed terror in all that lay in its path but which created through overextension and hubris the basis for its subsequent reversal. Our leaders, our “oligarchs,” have not necessarily shot themselves in the foot with these measures, but they have definitely shot their peoples in the foot, and they do not seem to care.

Putin’s Sanctioned Billionaires Take Refuge In UAE

While Ukraine’s elites have fled to the West or to Israel, Putin’s billionaire backers, pressed by Western sanctions, are seeking refuge in the UAE.  The UAE has already snubbed the USA when it refused Biden’s phone calls and his demands to increase oil production. Will the UAE now add to the US’s discomfort by giving shelter to Putin’s backers?

Biden’s Sanctions: Russian Oligarchs escape to Israel; Russian People Suffer

Joe Biden might pander to the public with thundering denunciations and sanctions of “Russian” oligarchs, but he knows, though he fails to say so, that they are largely Russia’s Jewish oligarchs who have a second citizenship in Israel.

This is an important distinction erased by the speech codes that rule the free people of the free West, who are so eager to impose their freedom  on the untermenschen – Slavic Russians and Serbs; sub-Saharan Africans; American crackers, Confederates, deplorables and bitter-clingers; Iraqis, Palestinians, and Syrians; non-Brahmin non-Sikh subcontinental Indians; the Irish; tribals and aboriginals; and a myriad other groups.

It is important, because corporate Judaism, like corporate Christianity or Islam, but with much more ethnic cohesion, is an organic nation within the nations. And one must understand the interests and actions of this invisible nation as a separate state, protecting its own above all. Otherwise, we libel the nations and their people, blaming them for what the financial elites of this nation-within-the-nations does and attributing to national interest what is actually in the interests of this cabal.

Biden’s sanctions illustrate the point. Ostensibly aimed at Russia’s rich elites, they actually only harm the ordinary citizen with no exit. The oligarchs, with a second citizenship in Israel, emigrate there and enjoy the benefit of the Israeli law that gives them a 10 -year respite from any examination of the sources of their income.

That’s why I have to wonder if the USG prosecution of Igor Kolomoisky is really going to go anywhere. Think back to the Madoff scam. Or the Goldman insider trading case. Despite appearances and laudatory reviews by the major media, those who followed closely realize that with Judge Rakoff, the fix was in,  as I blogged here. Similarly, freezing Kolomoisky’s assets in the US could only be window-dressing. Or actually a way to keep his assets out of the hands of the Ukrainians he cheated. Then when the furor dies down and Kolomoisky makes aliyah, his assets might be released and fall under a different jurisdiction, while the media attention focuses elsewhere.

This is only cynical speculation on my part. But with some justification, because in half-a -dozen or so schemes of the same kind that were supposedly prosecuted, this is how things panned out. Despite much tom-tomming of the prosecutors and judges in the NY media, ethnic solidarity between the criminals, the judges and lawyers, and the owners of the major media means that financial crimes at the highest level are usually dumped on a bag-holder/ lesser offender [as with Rajat Gupta], while the major offender gets off.

The Most Unusual “Inauguration” In US History

I would not call the Biden event an “inauguration.” The correct term for it is “installation.”

For instance, the Japanese empire installed the puppet Manchukuo regime in 1932.

The globalist cabal has shunted aside the overwhelming will of the people; committed the gravest of crimes, from fraud to extortion to treason; and, having sedated us with a witch’s brew of legal hocus pocus and media legerdemain, is now trying to induce over a hundred million people to say that what they saw happen on election night did not happen; that if enough powerful people say so, a lie is better than the truth; and that statistics, forensics, data, and affidavits only count if they add up on their side of the ledger, not ours.

Joe Biden, a man whose mental condition would not fit him to drive a car responsibly, is now behind the wheel of the most powerful nation on earth despite overwhelmingly losing the presidential election.

To assert as much is no longer possible on social media without a black-out of your account. In the real world, it will cost you your job, publishing contracts, and your social circle…. it may well haunt you for the rest of your life.

There has even been talk in mainstream circles of detention camps and cult deprogramming for Trump supporters and indeed anyone with the temerity to deny the official narrative that black is white, up down, and 2+2, 5.

In keeping with that fun house mirror of reality, Biden’s installation has now racked up the following “unique” identifiers [my comments are in color below]:

1.The first virtual inauguration.

Corona virus is the excuse, as it was with the mail-in votes; the real reason is to conceal Biden’s overwhelming lack of popular support and by corollary the fraud of his supposed “election.”

2.The first inauguration where crowds of supporters will be replaced by some 200,000 flags from all over the country.

Quite fitting, since he was installed by a consortium of enemy nations and domestic traitors who decided what was best for the American people, because they didn’t like the answer they got when they asked.

3. The first inauguration where the sitting president has not called the successor to congratulate him on winning.

Why would he? Trump knows Biden didn’t win. Biden knows Biden didn’t win. Everyone knows Biden didn’t win.

4. The first inauguration where the previous president has never officially conceded to the new one, despite the MSM mislabeling as concession a speech in which Trump mentioned a new administration without naming it in anyway.

He didn’t concede because he didn’t lose.

5.The first inauguration for a man whose name has never been mentioned in any speech by the current administration.

Perhaps this is because Biden’s is only a puppet regime whose strings are being pulled by the globalist cabal. He is completely replaceable by any other puppet. The only question is which side, Americanist or Globalist, will emerge victorious from the power struggle now unfolding behind the scenes, as well as overtly.

6.The first inauguration where the sitting president has not invited his successor to  the White House, as is customary. Melania Trump has also refused to meet Jill Biden and has not invited her for the customary walk through the private quarters of the White House. However, to demonstrate that it was not personal pettiness that made him break with tradition, but rather his knowledge of the fraudulent nature of the election, PDJT did write a gracious, personal note to Biden.

Biden broke into the White House, via cyber fraud. Denying him the official  White House tour reflects that reality.

7. The first inauguration in which the current president has limited his cooperation during the transition. PDJT’s civilian advistors have reportedly withheld from the Biden team pre-decision information such as those relating to troop strengths and movements and special operations missions related to counter-intelligence, as well as the vaccine distribution effort, Operation Warp Speed. However, they claim it is the Biden team that has made an overwhelming number of demands for information and that a transition team is not authorized to access sensitive classified information.

Rightly so. Biden has been documented to be the corrupt tool of the Chinese government and the Globalist climate cabal with HQ at the Vatican/City of London and any sovereign government would be loathe to let him share national security intelligence for any reason whatever.

9. The first inauguration in which the current president will not be in attendance.

See 5 and 6.

10. The first inauguration where the successor has been denied [by PDJT] the usual government-sanctioned military plane to fly him in to DC. The Bidens flew in to Andrews Joint Base on a private charter from Delaware.

This is not a matter of pettiness, as it is being described by the mainstream media. Trump was lawfully elected; Biden is simply a pawn installed through a conspiracy of domestic and foreign enemies. These enemies plotted and executed a seditious and treasonous coup that they are now propagandizing as a valid succession, but the military and PJDT are not buying it.

11. The first inauguration in which the number of National Guard troops and a smaller contingent of military  on the ground exceeds the number deployed by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan. Troop numbers have been estimated at around 30,000 in DC, with many more around the country, although the mainstream media is underestimating that by over 10,000. At least one official has used the figure 65,000. In addition, unlike deployments at previous inaugurations, these troops are armed lethally and are authorized to use lethal force. And although vastly in excess of any threat detected so far, they look like they’re sticking around.

12. The first inauguration in which reports are that large numbers of the National Guard turned their back on the pretender’s motorcade.

13. The first inauguration in which FLOTUS’ wardrobe conveyed political messages to the base.

Notice that Melania Trump wore a black suit in the signature style of Jackie Kennedy, shortly after PDJT was virtually assassinated by his vice president in collusion with the cabal, in much the same way that decades ago, Kennedy was physically assassinated by his vice-president Lyndon Johnson, at the behest of the cabal. Files on the Kennedy assassination were among the FBI files declassified in a massive dump by POTUS over the last few days. Melania Trump’s dress, with orange hexagons, recalls the military symbol for fire, according to some observers.

14. The first inauguration where the Capitol is surrounded by a 7 ft high security fence topped with razor wire, rather than barbed wire, with multiple roads and bridges blocked off, and military check points for entry and exit.

 

National Guard Chief Says 65,000 Soldiers And Airmen In DC Now

I came across this video in which National Guard Bureau chief Dan Hokanson says that 65,000 soldiers and airmen of the NG [3 times the number being reported in the media] are on the ground in DC.

Transcript Of Biden Phone Call To Poroshenko, 2016

President Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., highlighted another leaked audio clip that allegedly showed portions of a private phone call between Biden and Poroshenko from a conversation that supposedly took place on May 13, 2016.

[Lila: The leaked audio of 2020 has been taken off Youtube. ]

LISTEN:

FULL TRANSCRIPT OF THE AUDIO:

THEN-VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Hey Mr. President, Joe Biden. How are you?

THEN-UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT PETRO POROSHENKO: Very well indeed, as usual, when I hear your voice. Thank you very much.

BIDEN: Well you are doing very well, congratulations on getting the new Prosecutor General.

I know there is a lot more that has to be done, but I really, I really think that’s, I think that’s good. And I understand your working with Rada in the coming days on a number of additional laws to secure the IMF.

But congratulations on installing the new Prosecutor General, it’s going to be critical for him to work quickly to repair the damage Shokin did.

And I’m a man of my word and now that the new Prosecutor General is in place, we’re ready to forward to signing that new $1 billion loan guarantee.

And I don’t know how you want to go about that.

I’m not going to be able to get to Kyiv anytime soon, I mean, next month or so.

And, and I don’t know whether you could either sign it with our ambassador or if you came here, we could sign or if you want, we’re inviting Groysman here later.

I’m going to be talking to him later this morning, not for that purpose, we’re inviting him to Washington and so I’ll leave it up to you as to how you want that done and when you want it done.

POROSHENKO: First of all, thank you very much indeed for these words of support.

Believe me, that it was a very tough challenge and a very difficult job and Mrs. Tymoshenko and Mr. Lyashko fraction tried to break this because we not only voted for the new Prosecutor General, which we do in a very short period of time, within one day we changed the law.

By the way, in this law we are presenting the set, the new structure of the General Prosecutor’s Office, including the General Inspection as we agreed with you.

And the second thing, I immediately invited Lutsenko and said that he should contact your embassy and I would be very pleased if you will have certain person, who can come either from Washington or whatever.

We have here – I don’t remember his name – the Ukrainian origin American prosecutor.

He is a little bit old.

I sent to the Jeffrey his name, and he was ready to come and to be assistant and adviser.

He has a very good experience in the American system and he can be the person of trust within new prosecution system.

I think this is exactly the right time to do that.

And if he’s still ready to come and to cooperate from the very first step, from the very first minute of the new Prosecutor, that is exactly what I’m looking for.

BIDEN: Well, let me, let me get in contact with the Justice Department and pursue that.

I’ll get his name and let me find out where that is, because it is in our interest, obviously, to provide professional assistance as quick as we can.

So this gets up and started it in the right direction.

So, I will move on that as soon as we hang up.

I’ll put that in train and I’ll get back to you as to what we are, what I am able to do.

POROSHENKO: Absolutely. Second, thank you very much indeed, this is exactly what I am looking for.

The second thing is that I want to thank you that you give me your word that immediately when we change the legislation and I appoint the new Prosecutor General, and it would be Yuriy Lutsenko as we agreed on our previous meeting in Washington and when it happen, we can have this loan guarantee and thank you very much…

Ukraine Provided Evidence Of Biden Corruption In 2020

Rothschild ties to Western & Russian oligarchy

An extremely thorough article by Willam Jasper at the New American confirms what I’ve said about Putin, that he is simply another tool of the NWO, an instrument of “convergence”:

“One of the important ventures that Soros and Pinchuk are financing is the Ukrainian Crisis Media Center (CMC), a collaboration of Ukrainian public relations corporations and journalists that is headquartered in Kiev’s Hotel Ukraine. Ostensibly, it was created to counter the propaganda onslaught of Putin’s Russian media cartel. Much of the “independent news” we receive from Ukraine is produced by the CMC and stamped with the Pinchuk/Soros-approved brand of propaganda. That includes cheering on or papering over the fact that the “new” government in Kiev is simply the latest rotation of musical chairs, and it has ended with Pinchuk’s fellow oligarchs (virtually all of which are “former” communists) and their parliamentary blocs and political parties occupying the most important chairs (as we reported here).

Pinchuk is a member of the Board of the Peterson Institute for International Economics and sits on the International Advisory Council of the Brookings Institution, both of which Soros has long been associated with. Another very important Soros-Pinchuk tie is their mutual connection to the famous (or infamous, as you prefer) Rothschild banking dynasty. 

In 2011, George C. Karlweis, adviser to Baron Edmond de Rothschild and his Banque Privee, revealed that it was Rothschild who provided Soros with the startup money — and, undoubtedly much (illegal) insider trading intelligence — for Soros’ fabulously successful Quantum Fund. 

The full extent of Pinchuk’s connections to the Rothschild’s global private empire would require a similar revelation from an insider. That could be Jean-Pierre Saltiel, who sits on the board of Pinchuk’s Yalta European Strategy, as well as the oligarch’s global steel and metallurgy conglomerate, Interpipe, Inc. He is also a longtime adviser to the Rothschilds and the past president of Rothschild Conseil International, one of the fabled family’s major bank holding companies. Interestingly (but not so surprising), Rothschild agent Saltiel also sits on the board of PIK Group, Russia’s largest residential real estate developer, founded by Russian oligarchs Yuri Zhukov and Kirill Pisarev (and still run by Pisarev).

Like Soros and the Rothschilds, Ukrainian oligarch Pinchuk works with and partners with a number of Russian oligarchs. And his YES summits regularly feature Putin-allied Russian oligarchs, as well as Putin-appointed Russian politicians and apparatchiks. Alfa Bank, Russia’s largest private bank, for example, is a YES sponsor. And Alfa Bank chairman, Mikhail Fridman, a Putin ally and one of Russia’s richest billionaires, sits on the CFR’s International Advisory Board and provided the funds to create the CFR’s “Russia and Russian-American Relations Lecture” program. Similarly, Rinat Akhmetov, Ukraine’s richest oligarch, a former Putin-Yanukovych supporter and ally, is now a member of the new government. He is also, along with Fridman and Soros, a YES sponsor and a business partner with Russian, EU and U.S. Insiders. What these and dozens of other similar examples indicate is that there is much more to all of the Sturm und Drang over the Ukraine-Russia-EU “crisis” than meets the eye.

Soros gave a strong clue as to what the scripted outcome of the scenario would likely be. His solution would see Russia as a “partner,” and Angela Merkel (the “former” Communist from East Germany who now runs the unified Germany) would be the broker.

“Germany should take the lead,” Soros said, in his February 26 Project Syndicate column cited above. “Chancellor Angela Merkel must reach out to President Vladimir Putin to ensure that Russia is a partner, not an opponent, in the Ukrainian renaissance.”

Putin as Prod for “Convergence”

Merkel appears to be doing just the opposite, threatening Putin with sanctions, including freezing of Russian bank accounts and restrictions on travel in the EU, unless Putin “deescalates” the situation and comes to the bargaining table. But, in reality, she is “reaching out” to Putin, and he, after providing what is deemed an appropriate level of drama, will likely come to the table and deescalate. Contrary to Russia’s current bellicose posturing, it is in the Kremlin’s interests to offload Ukraine onto the taxpayers of the EU and the United States, and it fits perfectly with their long-term strategy of “convergence” with the EU and the United States.

Anatoliy Golitsyn, arguably the most important KGB defector to escape to the West, exposed the top-secret Soviet convergence strategy in his books New Lies for Old and The Perestroika Deception. (See herehere, and here.) Mikhail Gorbachev was making oblique reference to the ongoing reality of the convergence process when he described the EU as “the new European Soviet.” As in the transmutation described in Orwell’s Animal Farm, when it became almost impossible to tell the pigs from the men, it is now becoming all but impossible to detect any substantive differences between the ruling elites of Russia, China, the EU, and the United States. And, as the EU and the United States adopt more socialist policies and police-state measures, there is less and less distinction between our societies and the one ruled over by Putin and his Kremlin cronies.”

Arvind Kejriwal: Plagiarist?

[Note to long-suffering readers: I’m too busy to post right now or to respond to comments. I read all of them and greatly appreciate the input. Will be back soon.

POST:

It seems that  Delhi chief and self-styled anti-corruption crusader,  Arvind Kejriwal, might be guilty of some corruption himself – he stands accused of having plagiarized his book, “Swaraj” (- self-rule- a term popularized by Gandhi during India’s independence struggle):

The Facebook page of India Cause has the story:

“” Complainant Ajay Pal Nagar has alleged Kejriwal’s book Swaraj has copied contents in his book titled Bharatiya Raj Vyawastha. Nagar claimed that he had presented the book to Kejriwal in March, 2012 and he was appalled to see its content being copied in ‘Swaraj’ that was published in July 2012. The case has been filed before District Judicial Magistrate of Noida and the case has been accepted.

The author has said that he had released his book through a Delhi-based publication one year before the release of Swaraj and the plagiarism has been done intentionally by Kejriwal. “Kejriwal has illegally published my book in his own name and has added some Government documents to mislead the people,” the complainant.

Nagar, in his complaint before the court, has alleged that 80% content of Swaraj has been copied from his book which is a clear violation of Copy Right Act. Nagar said he wrote the book Bharatiya Raj Vyawastha in year 2011 and book was published in February 2012. Later, he sent a copy of the book to Kejriwal on March 26. In June 2012, when Swaraj was released with author name Arvind Kejriwal, Nagar found that Kejriwal has taken most parts of his book without his consent to do so. He found that many pages, paragraphs and lines of Swaraj are word to word of his book.

Earlier the author lodged a complaint in Badalpur police station in December 2012 but no action was initiated against Kejriwal and the matter was almost closed. Nagar then went to Chief District Magistrate Court of Noida where his application under Section 156 (3) of CrPc was taken up by the Magistrate. Complainant has also claimed that Manish Sisodia, close associate of Kejriwal and a Minister in Delhi Govt, has accepted that ‘the book is written by us but is amalgamation of different articles’. However, contrary to his claim, the book has the name of Arvind Kejriwal as its author.

“I wrote the book, Bharatiya Raj Vyawastha, with 10 years’ experience of my social life. I met eminent lawyers, socialists, constitutional experts and many more before writing the book. As I was impressed with Arvind Kejriwal and his team during Anna movement, I sent a copy of my book to Kejriwal but he took unfair advantage of it. I have moved court for action against him for exclusive theft and a case under Section 200 of CrPc has been registered against Kejriwal. The court could serve notice to him. If required I will move upper courts for justice,” said Nagar.”
