Another Russian Oil Tycoon Ran Away

In this “Putin’s Russia” the private businessmen are allowed to have their own armed thugs. As was reported by “Business Week” lately:  “In Moscow last month, 150-strong armed young men entered the headquarters of the RASVITOYE Construction Co. and using baseball bats and metal bars, did their assigned work, even though the Moscow police arrived. But, lo and behold, a week later the tycoon whose goons were there with bats and bars, got this company into his hands, which does 25% of all the construction in Moscow.”

There is a mafia-run registered shady business company in Moscow, which spies for these goons in take-over schemes – it costs about $5,000 to $20,000 per week, $1,500 to tap the phone per day, and to pay-off the police and the prosecutors office – the bill runs to $30,000 to $60,000!

CSTO States Will Defend Each Other Against Aggression

The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) member states discussed the question of rendering military-technical assistance to each other in case of a threat of aggression as well as military construction problems.

CSTO unites these former Soviet republics – Russia, Armenia, Belarus, and all central Asian countries except Turkmenistan. Azerbaijan is yet not as full member. This meeting of CSTO took place on October 4 in Baku, Azerbaijan.

President Lukashenko Gives Guidance to KGB

The Byelorussian State Security Committee (KGB) should effectively counteract all of the foreign interference in the Belarus domestic affairs, President Lukashenko pointed out when he was making personnel appointments to the State KGB.

“The role of foreign and internal destructive forces in Belarus, the Byelorussian State. Attention should be made as to who is financing these destructive forces in their attempts to specifically influence the young people. We must protect the young people from these external influences, by providing accurate information about the genuine state of affairs in Byelorussia as well as to expose the role of these external destructive forces.

It is important for the KGB to solve major economic crimes, not just trifles and to guarantee the economic security for Byelorussia. Your efforts should not be substituted by trifles and small things, which the local police can handle.”

Belarus Will Spend $3.5 Billions on a Nuclear Power Plant

According to Alexander Ozerets, Minister of Energy for Byelorussia, the construction of this nuclear plant is one of the main instruments in ensuring the future of the country’s energy security.

Because of the immediate rise of the oil and gas price of these imported fuels from Russia (!?), Belarus had to change its approaches to the use of energy resources. All of these saving efforts must be put not only into energy sector, but also into all branches of the Belarus economy, noted the Minister of Energy Ozerets.

Some $9.9 billion will be injected into the upgrade of the Byelorussian energy system.

Proposed Statue to Yeltsin in Moscow

Sculptor Dmitri Kavargi’s design topped an Internet poll conducted by art4U.ru an avant-garde modern art museum. It is dubbed the “Biomorphic Black Monster.”

Museum director Igor Markin used the term “Biomorphic Black Monster” because Yeltsin destroyed the Soviet Union. Of course Yetsin’s daughter Tatyana, who became immensely wealthy, is opposing this monument.

Here are some other proposals for a monument on this Internet survey:

• An empty bottle of vodka is the only memorial for this drunken thief and buffoon.
• How about an exploding bomb, to symbolize the break up of the Soviet Union? In this drunken stupor he ruined a perfectly viable economic bloc.
• How about his likeness floating in a vodka bottle?
• How about gallows of Yeltsin hanging by his feet as did Mussolini?
• How about showing his hands that he used to squeeze even in public, women’s breasts?

CIA Director Visits Azerbaijan. Why?

Last month the CIA Director General Michael Hayden paid a ”surprise” visit to Baku to talk with the Azerbaijan’s head of state.

The visit was not of course a “surprise” at all, because he was there in order to convince Azerbaijan of the necessary future attack against Iran, to the south of Azerbaijan.

The Azerbaijan expert Rasim Musabekov stated that: “It is obvious that the CIA Director would not travel to Baku without a serious reason for discussions.

The CIA Director informed the leadership of Azerbaijan “with some additional intelligence data that may change Baku’s position over the issue of military intervention in Iran and their help” according to EurasiaNet report.

Russia Has Now Intercepted Over 300 Foreign Spies in 4 Years

October 11, 2007

The United States and Britain actively used the secret services of Poland, Georgia and the Baltic states against Russia, according to the Federal Security Service which told this to the newspaper “Argumenty I Fakty” in Moscow.

“More than 270 actively operating agents and 70 foreign intelligence recruits, including 35 Russians have been exposed since 2003” stated the newspaper.

The newspaper wrote that 6 Russians were caught in an attempt to transfer state secrets to foreign countries, and they have been sentenced to lengthy prison terms.

A Russian retired Colonel Valentin Shabaturov was given a 12-year sentence for treason and espionage. It was proven that he actively cooperated with foreign intelligence agents for 7 years, from 1999 to 2006, revealing important state secrets to them.

British Secret Service is especially very active against Russia. Meanwhile Georgian secret service is using their connections with the criminal underworld to stage various acts of provocations.

Russian authorities charged that these secret operations are mostly funded by the NGO’s located in Russia.

The Turkish secret services are striving to influence the business elites in Russia, with predominately Muslim population. Meanwhile Pakistani secret agents are concentrating on obtaining military technological secrets of the Russian military forces.

Petrushev of the newspaper “Argumenty I Fakty” who wrote these facts stated that foreign countries involved in these spy gathering operations have now increased their intelligence budgets by over 20%.

Putin and His Personal Plans for Russia

In news items over the Internet, here are some facts that emerged of interest.

Zubkov worked with Putin in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) city administration in the 1990’s, working together to undermine and liquidate the USSR.

This appointment did not raise any eyebrows, because this appointment of a person that did not have a political face or experience proves only one thing. This appointment is a step towards a de facto continuation of Putin’s rule following the conclusion of his formal supposed end of power.

In another twist to the story of Putin’s plans came from a Reuters Report lat month, when Putin made clear to a group of visiting foreign Academics that “I will remain a political force after the 2008 election. I care about Russia.”

According to the Heritage Foundation spokesman Cohen, Putin told him: “I will return to the Russian presidency, sooner than late.”

New Shuffle in the Kremlin and Danger

According to the latest news reports over the internet, it seems that Putin is not only shuffling his cabinet and his protégé’s and firing two ministers, but all of these schemes seem to have a pre-election purpose for the presidential election in March of 2008.

His public relations statements point to his keeping the reigns of power in his hands, no matter who will be his choice candidate for the temporary position of president. His team of publicity directors are giving these messages which in essence say:

• Putin is the only future for Russia!
• Putin is liked by the great majority of Russian people!
• Putin and Russia are one!

According to “The Times of London”, the organizers of this pro-Putin youth organization made it very clear that their aim is to counter anti-Putin opponents. Over 200 of these “Ours” youth have undergone military training, and have uniforms and arms bands (which are Red in  order to make is look as if these young people organized by Putin are “reds”). They are mustering 5,000 members that will patrol the Moscow streets during the elections as well as other cities across Russia.

Does this not remind you of what Hitler-Himmler did with these young Nazi youth?

With this development taking place, the left-wing political parties (communists and socialists) are still debating, having countless conferences, making countless speeches, publishing resolutions – meanwhile – the looming danger is in front of their eyes, but their personal political ambitions always overshadow the real danger!

Hammer and Sickle Returns to Monument

After it was taken off by the Czech authorities, the hammer and sickle symbol is to be returned to the monument to the Red Army soldiers in the Brno district of Kralove Pole, the city councillors decided last month.

This symbol was removed without any authorization by the deputy mayor of Kralove Pole in June. But the town councillors now correctly decided that they had no right to rewrite history. Many Soviet Red Army soldiers died in liberating Brno at the end of WW II and many of these Soviet heroes are buried at Kralove Pole.

This Memorial to the Red Army liberators was built at the end of the war, following a collection of funds that were willingly given by all the citizens of Brno as a memory to the Soviet Red Army soldiers who were killed liberating the city from German Nazism.

Maybe this deputy mayor of Kralove Pole would have preferred a monument to the German fascist killers instead?
