John McCain tries to make good on longstanding threat to Putin

 

 

As chairman of the International Republican Institute, an organization dedicated to fomenting extraterritorial sedition and revolution throughout the world, US Senator John McCain has become a central figure in the current Western-engineered campaign against the Arab world. The IRI was even credited by the New York Times as helping “nurture the Arab uprisings” by funding and training activists from across the Arab world who would later go on to overthrow their respective governments. Unlike many of the other podium-bound puppets that constitute Western politics, McCain is fully aware and very public about the final destination of the unrest and now open war, he is ceaselessly promoting.

Russia Ready to Offer Europe $10 Billion in Aid Through IMF

 

 

Oct. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Russia is prepared to help Europe cope with its debt crisis by making as much as $10 billion available through the International Monetary Fund and hasn’t ruled out offering bilateral help to European Union nations.

“It’s really important to us that Europe remains stable,” Arkady Dvorkovich, the Kremlin’s top economic aide, told reporters in Moscow today. “If Europe becomes unstable, then the Russian economy will enter a period of instability.”

President Dmitry Medvedev will join other Group of 20 leaders in Cannes, France, this week for talks on easing a sovereign-debt crisis consuming Greece and threatening Spain and Italy. Russia, holder of the world’s third-largest international reserves, will demand that all countries start reducing their budget deficits, Dvorkovich said.

“We’re going to take an inflexible stance on this,” he said. “Our BRICS partners have a similar position. We’ll coordinate on this.”

Vladimir Putin recently detailed his plan to build a Eurasian Union somewhat reminiscent of the USSR in the Izvestia newspaper which he aims to be able to compete with the European Union and the United States.

Putin said, “We are talking about a model of a powerful supranational union capable of becoming one of the poles in the modern world.”

Putin cites the “great inheritance form the Soviet Union” as a foundation for the construction of a wholly new entity to challenge European and American dominance, although he claims that he is not aiming to create the USSR.

The gilded generation: What is it like to grow up as part of Russia's new power elite?
 

Russia now has more billionaires than anywhere else on earth

 
When the French political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville visited the United States in 1831 to study the fledgling country and a moment of economic and territorial expansion, he noted a tendency towards a disequilibrium of wealth, as great fortunes were made. It was a period that reached its apogee 50 years later in what became known as the "Gilded Age". This new wealth came from steel, railroads, mining, oil and banking – and the fortunes amassed by families such as the Mellons, Carnegies, Rockefellers and Gettys led to a blossoming patronage of the arts, the likes of which had never been seen before. The finest painters of the day, James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent, became the court painters of the new rich and produced exquisite, and occasionally controversial, portraits of both them and their families.

STUXNET ? Another malfunction shuts down the No. 3 reactor at the Kola Nuclear Power Plant for the third time in three months

 

MURMANSK – The No. 3 reactor block of the embattled Kola Nuclear Power Plant was shut down today by its automatic switch off in what is a seeming series of more and more incidents at the Kola, and well as other Russian NPPs.

 

In a release on Kola NPP’s website, operators said that, “at 1:38 am on September 28, the automatic protection switch of the No. 3 reactor block shut the unit down as a result of a malfunction in one of the elements in the system responsible for pressure control in the first compartment. The reason for the malfunction is being ascertained.”

Ironically, the malfunction falls on the Russian national holiday celebrating workers of the nuclear industry, September 28. Kola NPP is located 200 kilometres south of the Kola Peninsula’s regional centre of Murmansk in Russia’s Far Northwest.

Kola NPP's history of reactor shutdowns and extended operational periods granted to its reactors by Russian nuclear authorities have in recent years become a major worry for the Russian environmentalists and their counterparts in Northern Europe. Adding to these anxieties is the mumbling commentary on these events supplied by the the plant's operators. This newest incident is no exeption to the apparent gag rule that may be hiding deeper malfunctions at Kola NPP, and will serve only to crystalize fears of a possible catastorphe

Ground operation in Libya could start in April - Russian intelligence

 

The international coalition force is planning a ground operation in Libya that could start in late April, a high-ranking Russian intelligence service source said on Friday.

"Information coming via different channels shows that NATO countries, with the active participation of Britain and the United States, are developing a plan for a ground operation on Libyan territory," he said.

"From all indications, a ground operation will be launched if the alliance fails to force the Gaddafi regime to capitulate with air strikes and missile attacks."

If the events in Libya follow this scenario, the ground operation could start "in late April-early May," he added.

The UN Security Council imposed a no-fly zone over Libya on March 17, allowing "all necessary measures" to protect civilians from Muammar Gaddafi's attacks on rebel-held towns.

The operation to enforce the no-fly zone, codenamed Odyssey Dawn, is being conducted jointly by 13 states, including the United States, Britain and France.

Western warplanes have flown more than 300 sorties over the North African country and fired 162 Tomahawk missiles in the UN mission.

Russia warns of "full-scale military action" following Security Council vote on Libya
 

Following a decision by the UN Security Council to take “all necessary measures” against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, Russian politicians and experts are warning of further destabilization in the region.

­The UN Security Council voted on Thursday to impose a no-fly zone, which includes the possible use of military force, against pro-Gaddafi forces.

Presently, the Libyan strongman's military is successfully beating back a large anti-government uprising, and is in the process of consolidating his forces around Benghazi, a city to the north where the "interim Libyan government" is penned in.

Diplomats said the resolution, which was written in the eleventh hour of the Libyan conflict, allows for a wide range of actions, including strikes on air-defense systems and missile attacks from ships.

Indeed, full-blown military activity could commence “within hours,” they said.

Russia and four other council members – China, Germany, Brazil and India – abstained from the vote.

Will outside interference aggravate situation?
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Russian Liberal Democratic Party leader and State Duma vice speaker says the Security Council resolution does not bode well for the prospects of peace in the region.

"The consequences will be extremely negative," the LDPR leader said at a press conference at Interfax on Friday, adding that the resolution is "a symptom of preparations for a full-scale military operation.”

MOSCOW – Russian spy Anna Chapman launched her own weekly TV show on Friday, in her latest public foray since she was deported by the United States last July in a Cold War-style swap.

The 28-year-old redhead has posed in lingerie, attended a space launch and even had a sing-a-long with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin since she returned to Russia following her arrest and expulsion with nine other Russian sleeper agents.

"I will reveal all secrets," Chapman said on the one-hour, nightly show "Mysteries of the World with Anna Chapman," which aired on the private Russian channel REN TV.

Dressed in a black and red velvet dress, Chapman reported on a "miracle" baby from Russia's Dagestan region in the mainly Muslim North Caucasus, where an Islamist insurgency is raging.

In 2009 media reports about the baby had caused a frenzy in the region when imams said pinkish scrawled verses from the Koran had appeared and faded on the child's body every few day. Regional experts dismissed the claims, saying the impoverished, violence-torn region was clinging to any hint of hope.

Global food shortage fears as Russia extends wheat ban

 

The export ban is aimed at keeping the Russian domestic market well supplied with grain after Russia, which the world’s third largest wheat exporter last year when it sold 21.4 million tonnes of grain, after the country suffered a record drought which destroyed a quarter of its harvest.

Forest and brush fires flared up again on Thursday, killing two people and burning down more than 160 houses and buildings. Mr Putin is keen to avoid any signs of social unrest ahead of elections due in 2012.

The export ban from such a key global exporter sent wheat prices to 231.5 euros a tonne, just short of last month’s two-year high of 236 euros, sparking worries of a crisis in global food supplies

Spy Ring - Diplomat's Partying Daughter, Anna

 

The woman at the centre of one of the most intriguing spying scandals since the cold war rubbed shoulders with some of Britain's highest profile businessmen at glittering evenings in London nightclubs.

Anna Chapman, one of 10 suspected Russian spies charged in the US, was allegedly taken to parties at Annabel's nightclub attended by businessmen including the private equity billionaire Vincent Tchenguiz, and Philip Green, who owns some of the UK's largest retailers.

The emerging picture of the glossy social circles Chapman moved in during her time in Britain mirrors FBI suspicions that the Russian secret service wanted her to ingratiate herself with influential people in the west. She was, said one businessman who knew her, a "great networker".

It has been 50 years since U.S. pilot Francis Gary Powers was shot down over the Soviet Union

 

 

It has been 50 years since U.S. pilot Francis Gary Powers was shot down over the Soviet Union, marking a turning point in the Cold War.

A U2 spy plane was on a mission to film Soviet military bases when the aircraft was hit by a Soviet surface-to-air missile. Half a century on, the incident is still full of mystery.

The CIA called it their “invulnerable spyplane.”

The U2 was a phantom. Top secret and a masterpiece of aviation technology, it was designed to fly over Soviet territory undetected, taking unauthorized surveillance pictures at altitudes that were unreachable for Soviet missiles and fighter planes.

But on May 1, 1960 a Soviet surface-to-air missile targeted and took a U2 out of the sky in what was to become a renowned incident that would affect international relations and policy in the U.S. and Soviet Union for many years to come.

“I remember the commander turning to me and saying I should be ready to engage live targets,” recalled Mikhail Voronov, a retired Red Army officer. “Naturally, the tension was huge. We didn’t know for sure that the plane was just an intelligence aircraft. And what if it carried a nuclear bomb on board? When it came down all of us were triumphant.”

Once the plane was hit the pilot, Francis Gary Powers, managed a dramatic bail out and was captured shortly after parachuting down on Russian soil.

 

 
 
 
A most chilling report circulating in the Kremlin today prepared by the Russian Academy of Medical and Technical Science for Prime Minister Putin states that a “mysterious die-off” in the United States has claimed over 2,000,000 lives since 2008 and is “more than likely” linked to a “crossover” plant disease linked to genetically modified grains and foods.
According to these reports this mysterious, and as yet unidentified, lung disease responsible for this mass die-off began during the spring of 2008 in the US agricultural State of Iowa where (very ironically) at least 36 people attending a Lung Association event at the Governors mansion were stricken
 
 
 

An independent film is bringing to light a well-kept secret: Soviet Dictator Josef Stalin's only daughter, Svetlana Alliluyeva, has been living incognito in the U.S. state of  Wisconsin.

It is unclear whether the 84-year-old who fiercely guards her privacy still lives here today, but Lana Peters has lived at several addresses in southern Wisconsin in the last 20 years.

And in the summer of 2007, a determined film maker tracked her down at an apartment at a retirement home in an undisclosed Wisconsin town for a rare interview that could be the last she ever grants.

According to preliminary reports, two female terrorists carried out the attack. Their body fragments have been located.

 

 

Migrants could be fingerprinted in Russia

 

 

Russian prosecutors want to curb the surge of crime committed by guest workers by stepping up migration regulations. Migrants may be screened for fingerprints and genetic material before entering the country.

The idea was presented by the head of the Russian Investigative Committee, Aleksandr Bastrykin, who was delivering an annual report on his agency’s performance.

He said the economic downturn made an increasingly large number of people from neighboring countries seek job opportunities in Russia. The number of crimes committed by guest workers has also surged, increasing by 8 per cent in 2009. Half of those crimes happened in Moscow.A database of fingerprints and genetic material would help tackle the problem, believes Bastrykin. He also suggested harsher punishments for violations of migration legislation

 
 

Russia starts to build flying "Noah's Ark"

 
Russia has launched a program to build a powerful, multi-purpose airship that will certainly cause many people on the ground to take notice.
The "Locomoskayner" airship takes to the air with nothing more than helium, but will also have special outfitted hot air cells to regulate its buoyancy
Propulsion of the craft is provided by several electric motors, and small wings on the periphery of its disc-shaped hull give the vehicle extra lift in flight. The aircrafts unusual shape, which strikingly resembles an unidentified flying object (UFO) also gives it extra stability, and ability to resist wind currents to hover for extended periods above targets on the ground.
Varying models of the Locomoskayners are expected to be used for the transportation of people and cargo, as well as surveillance and monitoring. The largest version in the works will be able to airlift 600 tons.
The five-year project is based in the city of Ulyanovsk, some 900 km east from Moscow. The project’s developer, LocomoSky, plans to generate $90 million worth of investment.

"There are tanks all over the forest, abandoned," an unnamed reporter on the video says. "If you need one, come and get it."

Vladmir Putin forging ahead with vision of Eurasian empire
 
The Soviet Union is gradually being rebuilt as Vladimir Putin eyes a return to the Kremlin. The man who declared the collapse of the Communist state to be the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century” appears determined to forge a new empire.
The latest evidence emerged in a suggestion by Igor Shuvalov, First Deputy Prime Minister in Mr Putin’s Government, that Russia may abolish the rouble and create a common currency with Kazakhstan and Belarus.
The three states have already established a customs union and plan to form a single economic market by 2012. Mr Shuvalov said that he would not rule a currency union as “the next logical step”, adding that it would be modelled on the euro.
The last time these countries had a common currency, of course, was in Soviet times. Mr Putin was quick to extend an invitation to join the customs union to Viktor Yanukovych, Ukraine’s new pro-Russian President, when they met in Moscow on Friday.

Putin Tells Greece to Relax, US Debt is Worse

 

 

Love him or hate him, Putin is right. While the media's attention remains on the Greek fiscal crisis, the bigger debt crisis is in the US, and the world is starting to take notice. It's high time the Obama administration also looks into bolstering the real economy instead of the Big Giveaway to the Wall Street sharks who thrive on volatility (generates more fees). Of course, Putin also knows how to generate fees, the old fashion way. BusinessWeek reports that under Putin's rule, Russian arms exports more than doubled over the last decade to $8.6 billion last year. Back to Greece. Dan McCrum, a columnist for the FT, was on Tech Ticker today telling people Relax, Greece Will Be Bailed Out. And So Will The Rest Of The PIIGS: For the past couple of weeks, the global markets have lurched between a state of bliss that bankrupt Greece will be bailed out to a state of panic that it won't. According to our guest Dan McCrum, a columnist for the Financial Times, the latter fears are overblown. Of course Greece will be bailed out, McCrum says. The bailout won't be called a bailout (because people don't like bailouts), but it will be a bailout. And what about the other troubled European countries in the group known as the "PIIGS"?

Ordinary Russians arm themselves for protection

 

 
There are some five million gun owners in Russia with nearly half a million in Moscow alone – and, according to the Russian Interior Ministry, that number is rising.
One of the reasons behind the increase is the police. Corruption, poor crime detection and, especially, a spate of recent crimes involving police officers have heavily damaged public trust in law enforcement. One of the highest-profile incidents happened last April, when a senior police officer went on a shooting rampage at a Moscow supermarket killing two and injuring seven people
 

 

 

Russian Neo-Nazi Murder Squads Kill 71 In 2009

 

 

Russia's battle against the country's neo-Nazis is reaching boiling point as it emerged they killed 71 people last year.
One group recently posted a sickening video message on the internet celebrating a stabbing attack which killed a Ghanaian man in December.
Yet members of the country's most prominent ultra-nationalist group deny their tactics are violent.
The Slavic Union spoke to Sky News during their bi-monthly "training" in remote woods just outside Moscow.
Dressed in winter camouflage they greet each other with macho hugs as they gather round a campfire and help each other attach red arm bands emblazoned with their adapted swastika.
Rifles and semi-automatic weapons are assembled and they are ready to start flexing their muscles.

Putin warns against despotism, chaos in Russia

 

Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Friday warned against the dangers of totalitarianism and despotism but said Russia must not adopt a similar political system to its neighbour Ukraine.
“We shouldn’t allow the ‘Ukraine-ization’ of political life in Russia but we should on no account slide in the other direction, towards totalitarianism and despotism,” Putin said.
Ukraine last week held the first round of presidential elections that were hailed by international observers as “high quality” and offering a wide choice of candidates. But the country also suffers from chronic political instability.
Speaking at a major meeting chaired by President Dmitry Medvedev and attended by Russia’s political elite, Putin called for cautious reform of the Russian political system

Russia says population up for first year since 1995

 

Russia has registered the first population increase since the chaotic years which followed the fall of the Soviet Union, bucking a long-term decline that has dampened economic growth projections, officials said on Tuesday.

The event sends strong messages for regional security. Within the space of three weeks, Turkmenistan has committed its entire gas exports to China, Russia and Iran. It has no urgent need of the pipelines that the United States and the European Union have been advancing. Are we hearing the faint notes of a Russia-China-Iran symphony?

“Terrorists aim to spread fear and panic”

 

 

Fred Weir, the Christian Science Monitor’s correspondent in Moscow, thinks that the biggest problem resulting from the train crash is the return of a social mood of panic and fear

“This is practically exactly the 10th anniversary of the awful apartment bombings that occurred in the fall of 1999,” he said. “And we had quite a number of really awful grisly terrorist acts that struck here in Moscow and other Russian cities right up until Beslan, which was 5 years ago. There was a political mood of real toughness and need and almost hysteria to clamp down and create secure conditions. A lot of the political changes that we have experienced, the tightening of power, were already an indirect result of terrorism because they are part of the official response. And so it’s really scary to counter play the return of that mood to Russian society.”

 

 

 

America and Russia: Has the Cold War Really Ended?

 

The twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall is approaching, but has the Cold War really ended and is it really a historic relic of the not too distant past? The Soviet Union may no longer exist and the Warsaw Pact may have long been dissolved, but many of the remnants of the Cold War still exist, like the conflict in the divided Korean Peninsula, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and finally the issue of missile defense. In the last few years the relations between NATO and the Russian Federation have become tense and described in terms reminiscent of the Cold War. One of the main impetuses for this resumption of Cold tensions has been the U.S. missile shield project in the European continent. The Russians have consistently made no secret about maintaining that the missile defense shield, above all else, is a threat to them.

 

The idea of a missile shield project in not new. During the Cold War, the idea was inaugurated by Ronald Reagan as part of a grand strategy to deploy missiles, technical facilities, and military bases around the world and in space, which led to the project being called “Star Wars.” Since its inauguration the Pentagon has spent billions of U.S. dollars in research and study for the project. While the U.S. government has claimed that the intended purpose of establishing a missile shield is to protect America and Europe from the threat of hypothetical North Korean or Iranian ballistic missile attacks, the Kremlin regards the missile shield project as a serious threat to the national security of Mother Russia. Moscow is adamant on calling the justifications for deploying the missile shield as mere pretext to get closer to Russia.

Prime Minister Vladamir Putin has said the US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise  excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state s omnipotence.

In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state s role absolute  Putin saidduring a speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.

Sounding more like Barry Goldwater than the former head of the KGB, Putin said, Nor should we turn a blind eye to the fact that the spirit of free enterprise, including the principle of personal responsibility of businesspeople, investors, and shareholders for their decisions, is being eroded in the last few months. There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state.

Putin also cautioned the US against usingmilitary Keynesianismto lift its economy out of recession, saying, in the longer run, militarization wont solve the problem but will rather quell it temporarily. What it will do is squeeze huge financial and other resources from the economy instead of finding better and wiser uses for them. Putins comments come in sharp contrast to Russias own military buildupandexpansion.

 

 
Russians Increase Purchases of Guns for Self-Defense 
 
As the economic crisis deepens and fears of crime spread, not only are more Russians buying guns of various kinds – including pistols and gas guns -- but many of them are buying more than one, trends that are prompting some Duma deputies to consider repealing existing restrictions on the purchase of hunting rifles for self-defense.
