___________________________________
THE DRIVE TO DIVIDE Putin from Medvedev is an ongoing disinfo project of the Jewish-owned press, of which, some pro-Russia sites have bought into.
The so-called ‘division’ can be seen in The Saker’s analysis of a supposed “power struggle” within the Kremlin walls: “Medvedev represents the Atlantic Integrationists (West-inclined) and Putin the Eurasian Sovereignists (Russia focused).
As recent as April 2014, The Saker predicted that Putin would “sack” Medvedev as prime minister and “replace” him with a “very different figure.”
Never happened. “Predictions” by arm chair soothsayers who live thousands of miles from Moscow are like bubbles meeting solid objects: they quickly dissolve into non-existence.
Conjecture has it that tensions between the two leaders began when Medvedev, acting as President, “abstained,” rather than using Russia’s “veto,” with regard to the US-led UN Security Council’s decision to launch a ‘humanitarian’ No-Fly Zone in Libya in 2011.
Was it naive trust on Medvedev’s part, blindsided by Jewmerica’s scheme to overrun Libya, and not foreseeing that the Atlantic alliance would completely overstep the UN mandate on the side of the Libyan rebels against Gaddafi, that informed Medvedev’s “miscalculation?”
Yet contrary to all the disinfo barfed out by the Jew-owned press, not a word against Medvedev by Putin was ever heard by the myriads of Jewish disinfo agents.
And to this day no one really knows why Medvedev (surely he would have consulted with Putin) didn’t veto Nato’s rape of Libya.
IF EVER A SUCCESSOR to Putin must be found, one need not look beyond the person of Dimitri Medvedev, now older, wiser, and more seasoned.
By law, Medvedev would immediately fill Putin’s position, since in the case of the President’s death or resignation, the Prime Minister (“Chairman of the Russian Federation”) becomes President until new elections take place.
The Prime Minister serves at the President’s pleasure. Putin could dismiss Medvedev at any time.
Thus, it is abundantly obvious that Putin and Medvedev are not only in complete sync with Russia’s domestic and foreign policies, but Putin has great confidence in Medvedev to steer the ship as head of state if urgently needed.
While reports of Medvedev’s political demise were greatly exaggerated by the Jew York Times and a host of other Jew-owned propaganda machines, most Russians applaud Medvedev’s fusion with Putin…ripened as a “superpower” team.
The latest Levada poll reveals that 68% of Russian citizens consider Russia, ruled from the Kremlin, as a superpower.
62% believe the country is going in the right direction, 86% applaud Putin’s performance as president, and 71% approve Medvedev’s performance as prime minister.
LOOKING AT MEDVEDEV’S background, one must note that his formative years were in the 1970s, when Soviet teenagers were smitten by Western pop culture.
Enjoying a PhD in Law in 1990, he soon joined Putin in St Petersburg, both working for its mayor.
Putin handpicked Medvedev to be the city’s legal expert. Their warm ongoing relationship continued from that point up to the present day.
The father-son/teacher-pupil kinship that was forged in St Petersburg between Putin and Medvedev is today set in steel in the Kremlin.
And NO, Medvedev is NOT a Jew.
Medvedev denies rumors that he is Jewish by saying that his maternal grandparents originated from Belgorod Oblast and had the Russian-sounding surnames Shaposhnikov and Kovalyov.
At the age of 23, Medvedev felt a strong need to be baptized in the Russian Orthodox Church. “My life was changed,” said Medvedev, reflecting on his baptism.
Regardless of his ‘racial’ makeup, Medvedev is a baptized member in good standing of the Russian Orthodox Church…and that’s all that matters.
PERHAPS THERE WAS an “Atlanticist” slant and a “pro-West” bent in Medvedev’s foreign policy, but the valley has been filled and the crooked has been made straight.
The gloves came off last July when Medvedev called America’s sanctions, “evil,” adding that Russia would not be bowed since “such sanctions” fail to bring any nation to its knees.
“There will be a further consolidation by Russian society against those countries and people who try to act against the interests of its citizens,” Medvedev warned.
What country is Medvedev pointing to? Jewmerica. What people? Jews.
Russia’s leaders are not clowns like the hacks in DC who take orders from Jews. They know what people comprise “special interest” groups that dictate policy in Washington.
And it’s not Gentile businessmen of the US Chamber of Commerce or Black functionaries of the NAACP.
Medvedev upped the ante a few days ago when commenting on Jewmerica’s so-called Ukraine Freedom Act 2014 and Ukraine’s intent to cancel a national law forbidding it to join military blocs.
“Our relations with America will be poisoned for many decades to come,” Medvedev remarked.
“By Ukraine changing its out-of-bloc status, it would in essence be an application to join NATO, rendering Ukraine a potential enemy of Russia,” he added.
Then in a stunning essay titled, Russia And Ukraine: Living By New Rules, Medvedev excoriated Kiev for its abominable actions against its own citizens in Eastern Ukraine.
“Is it not enough that Ukrainian troops are shooting at civilians? Must they also economically destroy these people and the entire region? This is unprecedented.
“Will hunger and poverty make the residents more tractable? Clearly, this is how Kiev sees the peace process. Surely this is the ‘strongest’ argument to convince Eastern Ukraine to follow the rest of Ukraine down the European path.” View Entire Story Here & Here.
And Novorussia will not follow the path to hell.
A “EUROPEAN” PATH means the end of Ukraine’s sovereignty, pillaging of its resources, and its mutation into a Jewmerican military colony, along with the subversion of its sexual mores via Jewry’s prized means of expropriation, the promotion of homosexuality.
Although viewing Ukraine’s plight as “tragic,” Medvedev will not be sidetracked.
Like Putin, Medvedev is determined to see Russia’s national interests served.

Brother Nathanael @ December 28, 2014
Dear Real Jew News Family,
BOTH Putin and Medvedev are pious Orthodox Christians.
Is it any surprise then that JEW-RUINED Jewmerica HATES Putin and thinks it can actually divide the Putin from Medvedev? Dream on Jews.
Sadly, pro-Russian sites like The Vineyard Of The Saker buys into the Jew agenda to divide Putin and Medvedev.
Yes…Medvedev’s teen years were informed by Soviet teenagers’ enthusiasm for Western pop culture as I mention in the Article above.
But, Medvedev’s “life was changed,” in Medvedvev’s own words, when he was baptized into Christ via the Russian Orthodox Church.
Orthodox baptism transforms a man into a “new creation.” I TOO experienced a profound transformation resulting from my Orthodox baptism.
And did you know that “The Baptism Of Russia” in the 10th Century AD is a National Holiday IN RUSSIA as proclaimed by Putin and Medvedev?
Yes, it is! See:

Whenever I am getting beat
And feel the argument is lost
I use a trick my father taught:
And scream the dread word, “Holocaust!”
I never need to fear defeat –
Though every word I speak is crossed –
I have a word that trumps them all
Should I but say it: “Holocaust!”
And when I find myself in court
I know who’s going to win because
The judge will lend a kindly ear
Each time that I say, “Holocaust!”
All politicians bow and scrape
Dissenting voices are all quashed
When I stand at the podium
And cry about: “The Holocaust!”
Historians become perplexed
When into prisons they are tossed
’Cause they unwisely delved into
The mysteries of “Holocaust!”
Should you awaken from your slumber
There among the great unwashed
You’ll hear the television scream
The lullaby of “Holocaust!”
I have no need to prove my facts
All challenges are quickly squashed
When I sit at the wheel
Of the juggernaut called “Holocaust!”
The years roll by for you and I
The world proceeds without a pause
Yet in one thousand years we’ll still
Be hearing of “The Holocaust!”

Great Article, dear +BN.
Thanks for nailing it down once and for all the facts about the political, constitutional, and personal relationship between Putin and Medvedev.
The constitutional aspect is the most intriguing, and the most revealing.
According to the the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the prime minister does indeed serve at the president’s pleasure. Therefore, Medvedev as prime minister has responsibility for domestic policies, while that of the president is more oriented towards foreign policies.
Apart from the public opinion polls, Medvedev must have been doing a good job on Russia’s national economic policies and programs all along, or else Putin would have dismissed him long ago as less than patriotic-minded.
Medvedev just flat got blind-sided and sucker-punched by lying, deceitful Obummer, Jewmerica and NATO about their intentions towards Libya when he was president.
As to why Medvedev abstained from vetoing the NSC Resolutions, he explains that he hoped that the resolutions would force all parties to the peace table. Russia had $billions invested in Libya in oil, arms, and other agreements made with Gadhafi.
That debacle influenced Medvedev’s Syrian policy later in 2012.
In a 2012 RT interview, Medvedev stated:
Q: You were president at the time of the Libyan intervention and the diplomatic proceedings that went before the Libyan intervention. Is that experience actually now influencing Russia’s position on Syria? Did you feel that you were somehow betrayed over the Libya scenario and that you don’t want to see a similar situation in Syria?
A: Of course, this is influencing our position. In fact, when the situation with Syria started, I said from the very beginning that we would adjust our approach because of what happened with Libya.
When the resolution on Libya was adopted, we thought our countries would hold consultations and talks and at the same time we would send a serious signal to the Libyan leader. But unfortunately it ended up the way it did.
They kept telling us there would be no military operation, no intervention, but eventually they started a full-blown war that claimed many lives. And most importantly, I think it is a bad way to determine a country’s future.
We all share democratic values, but imposed democracy usually does not work. Democracy must grow from inside. Only then does it enjoy popular support.
So, what happened with Libya has definitely affected my position and continues influencing Russia’s position on the Syrian conflict.

Jews are acting more and more erratic everyday.
They are finding that their “divide an conquest” model is not working anymore.
We are living a world today that the news flows faster than the poison of the Jews, and they know that.
They feel that they cannot control anymore the game of disinformation, so they are just playing on damage control mode, at the defensive all the time.
Recently the movie “The Interview” (nobody watch that crap please) a total POW propaganda film made by JEWS directors, JEWS actors, JEWS writers and JEWS producers, a story about North Korea.
What the heck are doing the JEWS in North Korea?!? Day by day, Jews have been exposed and the… Jig is up!
By the way BN,
Happy that in Cuba was opened the first ever Orthodox Christian Church (Russian), “Our Lady of Kazan.”
The Jewish liver most be distilling a lot of dark green bile with this news…. I am happy for that!
http://bit.ly/1Ez5KaR
Putin has decided to win the will of the people by saving the people of Ukraine, granting them 500,000 tons of Coal!
Now no one will freeze in Ukraine this winter.
Ukraine is serious trouble, with money and energy.
Russia is the only country holding Ukraine together at the moment.
Activities of the Jews seem to be escalating.
There was the false flag in North Korea from the USA. It was denied and is now apparent that the CIA and other Jew controlled agencies there were the guilty and not North Korea.
The report is it was an inside job. The most recent is the case of the missing Air Asia plane over the waters of Indonesia. It was a flight from Sourabaya to Singapore, most of its passengers being Chinese Indonesians.
Air Asia is owned by a Malaysian Chinese and a 49% share by Malaysia, as read.
The disappearance had similar features to those of MH370. The exception was that the weather was stormy.
However, aviation authorities have informed the press that it is common for pilots to face similar situations. How could it be blamed on the weather? The pilot did not reply to the Tower after they responded to his request for permission to alter height and course (the latter being very uncommon).
Are the Jews somewhat disconsolate at their failures in relation to Ukraine, the EU and most of all, Russia?
Does this mean they are targetting through America, of course, the Pacific region again, wherein lie China, India, Indonesia (that turned away from the dollar?)
They destroyed Russia, Germany, two Christian countries and latterly the USA. Russia has announced it is now Russian Orthodox Church.
Instead of their being no major Christian countries suddenly one has appeared again.
Or is it a warning to someone, some government, some nation?
With regard to Medvedev and Putin, one is reminded of a recent article citing the case in the Russian favored DND, not Russian sponsored.
There appears to be a Mossad Agent, in government, newly appoinrted Minister for Foreign Affairs. He is a TV Star with many trips to Moscow and a very rich Jew.
Alexander Kofman.
He confirmed in an interview that in his youth and onwards, he had indeed worked with several Jewish agencies. What is happening here?
Is there a double edged sword, one side suggesting there is no Jewish influence in DND and Russia, or the other being a contrived deception by Mossad?
The Jews infiltrated into every present day Western church and new Christian movement, beginning with Roman Catholicism, then Rome, Luther and the Reformation. Then into Calvinism (Calvin, Cohen a Jew), Anglican, Lutheran, and indeed every denomination.
Is Russia immune in her present churched position, to this Jewish internal disruption that began and continues in all branches of Western Christendom?
AT least a normal government, with meanings, opinions but ONE line.
As I wrote the President a letter that HE NEVER BOW to the West whatever the price or Russia is lost.
Hopefully, that together with OUR prayers RUSSIA is defeating the children of Satan and his policy. For that the white Western world is getting present after present in one constant flow.
@All
Truth and Light will always cause deception and darkness to be exposed, then flee.
Bro Nat,
Thanks for clarifying. However, the man I’d like to see after Putin is Yevgeny Fyodorov. He’s even more hard-core than Putin.
Have a look at this man. You’ll love him!

Hello Brother Nat,
Any comment on this lecture by (pro Russia) Sheikh Imran Hosein? Thank you:
“Islam’s And Russia’s Tryst With Destiny” @
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HidSGE_3BM
Personally, after having carefully read the above, I’m still unilluminated as to why Medvedev was asleep at the wheel and not exercise his right of veto on the UNSC Resolution intended to impose a no fly zone on Libya.
We also know that a NFZ was part of the armoury of sanctions enforcements on Iraq from 1991 to 2003, which resulted in 500,000 kids dying (the price being worth it according to SecState Albright) amongst uncounted deaths of adults, from the generalised deprivations following on from the blocking of the vast array of totally non military normal imports relied upon by civil society.
In fact, how could Medvedev say that abstaining from voting on the Resolution could bring on negotiations with Libya, when voting against the Resolution would obviously have brought on negotiations, for to do anything else could only bring the club down hard on the head of Libya, whereupon there was nothing left to discuss.
The mention of Cuba prompts me to comment having spent some time there.
It is a nation with equality and self respect but woefully innocent of the circling vultures in the USA wanting to impose “democracy” and “free” enterprise.
It is poor, but it is equally poor, unlike Mexico where there are the rich and their dirt poor slaves who are promised “opportunity” which is only an illusion kept alive by the Catholic church. Hmmmm thats a christian organisation?
If Cuba had $10 in the bank it would give $5 to a neighbour in need. As it is, Cuba sends thousands of doctors to trouble spots and poor nations during emergencies–the Western media pretends it does not.
By totally ignoring Cuban international humanitarianism the “free” media only prints odious misinformation to damn Cuba and its people at the behest of the US Empire and those who control it.
By the way, the shoot down of the Malaysian Airlines jet over the Ukraine has all the hallmarks of an IDF attempt at humour much like their accidental murder of peace activists and UN Peacekeepers on Israels border–deliberate and arrogant exercises of power with utterly no respect for the rest of the planet.
Hello, Br. Nathanael,
I’m very happy to read that President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev are on the same page when it comes to the interests and sovereignty of Russia.
I’ve read all the rumors and disinfo that there was tension between the two leaders and disbelieved it; and, now, the rumors turned out to be just that: rumors.
Yes, Medvedev learned a harsh lesson when he was President during the Libya crisis by failing to veto the resolution enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya which, unfortunately, led to NATO’s war of aggression on Libya and the eventual demise of its leader, Col. Muammar Gaddafi.
Obola and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have a lot of blood on their hands as a result of this aggression (Gadaffi was sodomized and murdered) and the 2012 attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi wherein Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were murdered.
Medvedev and Putin made sure there would NOT be a no-fly zone over Syria as a result of the failure in Libya; thus, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is still in power in that war-torn nation.
Thank you, Br. Nathanael, for providing me and other readers with the true info on Medvedev. May you continue to be highly blessed as we enter the New Year.
God Bless You Always,
Eileen
Having been to Russia twice and conferred with some of their relatively high level citizens, I fully understand why Medvedev went along with the USA on Libya.
The Russians wanted very much to be peaceful economic “partners” with the West.
They were horrified when I said that America would not be satisfied until tanks sat in Red Square. They refused to believe me. They had not at that point realized that America (Jew controlled) wanted Russia’s destruction. They had beautiful visions of world peace and progress.
Now they very sadly understand that the future may well be just more of war horrors and death. Many Russians told me that nothing is worse than war. Many Americans, by contrast, feel that war is exciting and the right thing to do.
Of course the few that have lost their eyes, faces, legs, arms, hands and genitalia, don’t think so highly of war any longer.
I still see websites saying that Putin is in the hands of the Jews.
I don’t know what to make out of it yet. In a time where mass media collectively have strict orders to badmouth him, i find it strange that he doesn’t have to work harder to keep enemies down at home.
We should therefore have gotten messages on tyranny and oppression followed by names of the touched oligarchs. But there was only a couple for 10 years ago.
That “freedom hero” who eventually was let go to Swiss, who’s stocks were mystically overtaken by a Rothschild just before confiscation. Apart of that and some journalists, who usually are very Jewish, there is just good tunes from Putin.
When he speaks about anything it is remarkably wise, relevant and peaceful. His speeches hits me as a message from a human to another human in a world where mass media is a cold storage of noise from bad motives and intentions thwarted too many times,
He comes up with peace solution to Syria, he just asks how NATO justified the killing of Ghadaffi, and says there must be an alternative to the unipolar government of the earth.
If there is anyone who should have got any peace prize, its him, but these things are immensely offensive to those who want all for themselves. Those who think of the Earth as already theirs.
I mean his voice is not one who sound duped, if he were a Jewish agent he would have been easier to create enemy imagery of.
And there are writings like these on his relation to the Jews – are the Chabats of any significance? Or just foot Jews who allowed to create the public image of Jews?

Putin got rid of TV Jewish owners who where promoting liberal Jews’ propaganda in 90s — pro gay, anti-nationalist, anti Christian, and Jewish “multiculturism,” not the multi-ethnic one existing now . While Russia is made of many ethnicities of Europe and Asia, it is mostly ethnic Russian as the majority but they respect each other.
He also got rid of some of Clinton Yeltsinian oligarchs and economists who where responsible for Russia’s crisis in 97-99 and pushed the biggest privatization voucher scandal made by Anatoly Chubais
( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatization_in_Russia ).
Chubais was also a friend of Clinton and took orders from Chicago economists about Russia, where they took majority of state properties at low prices.

Paul Craig Roberts just came out with the following:
The unity of the Bear and the Dragon reduces the crazed neoconservatives’ dream of “an American century” to dangerous nonsense.
As Larchmonter puts it, “The US and NATO would need Michael the Archangel to defeat China-Russia, and from all signs Michael the Archangel is aligned with the Bear and its Orthodox culture. There is no weapon, no strategy, no tactic conceivable in the near future to damage either of these rising economies now that they are ‘base pairs.’”

When you truly understand how powerful the Two Laws of Christianity are, then as any neophyte seeking power, you must practice these Two Laws to move forward: seek the eternal, formless and timeless One [God] at each and every moment of your existence; and treat others as you would treat yourself.
The Eastern philosophies have equivalent concepts of Zen and Karma, so these thoughts are many thousands of years old, which proves that “real” knowledge is eternal.
This is why Putin and Medvedev are so close, because they have both dived deeply into acquiring internal spiritual Christian power, as opposed to the disgusting fecal matter contained in the District of Criminals.
Russia is led by Soldiers of God and the US is led by the Lucifer.
There will be a show down real soon, and the Christian King will defeat the multi-headed, Babylonian monster from Hell. The World will rejoice, but billions will die. If the scourge of self importance is defeated, and Humanity somehow survives, maybe it is worth it.
One of the Faustian problems with Life is powerful people sacrificing the platitudes that got them there, like beenie wearing Randy Paul, that low life, ass kissing piece of dog poop.
You must wonder what mouth wash he uses while and after visiting Israhell, because his entire mouth must be completely infected with the most foul diseases conceivable. Imagine selling out millions of your fellow citizens, that you swore to God (and your devil-worshiping ass does not believe in) to do your best for your fellow citizens.
You sheeple idiots have already chosen a Bush-Clinton as next throne holding destroyer of all of you.
My God, Ron Paul was a complete bluff, but could not you all call him on it? The number of US citizens that are awake is 10% and it is going down as the US is becoming less and less European, and the Self-Chosen Vampire (SCV) programming is turning everyone into jello.
The Lord Almighty would do the Universe a favor by considering whether to end the Human experiment in Free Will.
I still feel that both men are controlled opposition in a behind the scenes kind of way.
However I would absolutely prefer to live under the leadership of Putin and Medvedev, over Obama and Biden and…..”

Dear All,
I am STILL fighting a cold and my voice is a bit scratchy along with everything else that is part of a cold…(coughing, running nose, sneezing///you know the routine.)

In any event, I hope to post a new Article soon in lieu of a postponed Video. +bn
@Cornelius
Paul Craig Roberts is good economist but he is also a clown.
He supports the same liberal jewish policies which have led the country to the grave that is in. He was also a main economic policymaker behind Reaganomics which is the state of we are in now, in total fictionalization of economics, outsourcing and constant crisis.
He along with the Jewish economist Murray L. Weidenbaum. Roberts is a shill crying for his deeds on neo liberal policies that he implemented, and a big supporter of the Jewish left policies and the trash we again in.
I have lost any respect I had for him as economist due to seeing that he was the guy that made the mess, and not only that but still support leftist social/political policies that is ruining the country. He cries foul but committed more. He never learns.
One would think that Paul Craig Roberts learns from his mistakes and de-associate once for all with Jews, not only in economics but also politically, but he never learns.
Crocodile tears.
“One would be hard pressed to find a non-jew who has been honored by more jewish organizations than Rupert Murdoch”…..Hoff.
Sorry Hoff, Murdoch’s mother Ashley Greene comes from one of Australia’s Jew families. By Jewish law, if your mother was a Jew, then you are a Jew.
Murdoch is a Jew the same way the Wal-Mart heirs are Jews…..
Another important article by +BN. This is actually a skilful and wonderful relationship between Medvedev and Putin. It needs to be emphasized.
I have one concern about their credibility, which in fact I now suspect they are holding as their ACE in the hole … a future card to be played. We shall see, but I can hope.
At the moment, special military aircraft from NATO are allowed to fly over Russia. The same aircraft are spraying Chemtrails over Europe, Canada, the US and now also central Asia, India and Australia.
The grassroots objection to this highly secretive, criss-crossed chemical “messing with the clouds” is at the moment, a HUGE LATENT political force.
When Putin and Medvedev publically announce, as I believe they eventually will have to, that they will no longer allow NATO to fly chemtrails over Russia … I will promise you one thing FOR SURE:
The Youth of the Entire World will regard Putin and Medvedev as their representatives and heroes. PERIOD.
When they make this announcement, publically stating that NATO (and the secretive Wall St-Pentagon complex that drives it), is running Chemtrail aldulteration of our atmosphere, water and soils, and that the Russians say NO!, they will send shockwaves of joy through the general population, while at the same time sending shockwaves of fear through the hearts of morally depraved globalists.
I hope this message can somehow reach Mr. Putin and/or Medvedev. With this announcement, the youth of EVERY country will be standing behind Putin, Russia, and Christ and the Russian Orthodox Church.
@Tony
You can’t get too serious about somebody who doesn’t mention the Jews, when explaining the forces behind the economic scene. At least he mentioned the polar opposite which is Orthodox Russia.
Left wing, right wing, liberal etcetera are terms that Jews use to confuse and control us.
The Jews have divided the correct politics 50/50 between left and right so they can always subvert the process.
@Molecule
Chem trails can never be addressed without taking care of the Jewish problem first. It is impossible to get the truth out to the masses in this environment.
Brother Nathanael,
In light of your article, please comment on the following, and to what extent Mr. Putin is awake:

Please, if you can reach President Putin, make him aware of the immediate importance of NATIONALIZING the central bank in Moscow, immediately.
Thank you.
@karol
The YouTube clips you posted are informative, but have to be taken in context as they are addressed to a Russian audience.
Regarding Putin’s Press Conference/Economy/Central Bank @
http://eng.kremlin.ru/news/23406
First of all, please AVOID JEW-Media’s “interpretations” but rather read Putin’s calmly given facts and informed opinions. He and Medvedev are both very aware of the economic and financial situation of Russia and that of the state Central Bank of Russia.
Incremental legislative, civil and criminal investigative steps are already being taken by Putin, Ms. Nabiullina and Medvedev to make reforms and bring the CBR and the Russian economy back under fully national control and independent of politics, a very large and complex project to carry out.
Russia will easily weather this JEW attack on the ruble, oil prices, and its economy via JEW-AUTHORED (JewS Treasury Department) sanctions. Already, the Russian ruble is beginning to stabilize.
Basically Putin is saying, “Don’t expect breadlines,” of which the Jew Rojanksy is licking his demonic chops in anticipation of.
Is Russia on the edge of economic collapse? Far from it.
If you recall during the Reagan 1980s, there was a huge artificial drop in oil prices in an effort to collapse the far more fragile Soviet economy, which was even then exporting energy resources, and was ONLY one of the MANY factors that set into motion the eventual collapse of the USSR.
So, the same tactic of a sudden drop of oil prices is tried again to collapse the RF economy, and the Russians mostly yawn this time around.
The figures Putin cites in his press conference evinces that Russia is in pretty good shape with trillions of rubles in various reserves, enormous gold reserves of which some 55 tons (pretty sure of that figure) were bought or accumulated just in the third quarter.
Unemployment is way down, and all of the social welfare obligations are being met.
Putin is comparing the current economic situation to 2008, and that some of the same measures will be taken as were taken then.
Right at the outset of the press conference, Putin states matter of factly that the Central Bank and the Government *didn’t act swiftly enough* to protect the ruble, and that is what all the complaining boils down to, which stops the mouth of all the complainers.
But there is no personal complaint that Putin has toward his economic “hit woman” at Russia’s Central bank, Elvira Nabiullina, who is a recent Putin appointee, a no-nonsense tough Russian woman who plays by the book NOT by graft, and fully in Putin’s corner.
Nabiullina (an ethnic Tartar) has some very impressive credentials @
http://www.cbr.ru/eng/today/print.aspx?file=directors_board/new/nabiullina.htm
As regards some shrill voices on the internet barking that Russia’s Central Bank is in the hands of “Jew globalists,” this is just sensationalist internet nonsense and frothing at the mouth.
Nabiullina is opening the Central Bank’s doors to more government scrutiny and oversight, and inviting the Duma inside. This is the issue, NOT “Jew globalists.”
For the past year, she, Putin and Medvedev have been working on cleaning up corruption and graft inside the RCB. (AGAIN – This is the issue, NOT “Jew globalists.”)
I hope to do a fuller report or Article soon regarding Russia’s Central Bank and its so-spun ruble “crisis” soon.
Please know that I have many “Russia observers” both inside Russia and abroad as resources who are better informed than internet gossips. (Keep in mind that I’m a member of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR) in good standing @ http://brothernathanaelfoundation.org/about) +bn

Dear RJN Family,
I feel a need to address Paul Craig Robert’s recent piece on King World News @ http://kingworldnews.com/paul-craig-roberts-russia-china-can-save-world-2015/ in which he takes it upon himself to be Putin’s and Xi Jinping’s (president of China) foreign policy advisers.
Robert’s piece is titled, “How Russia & China Can Save The World In 2015.”
Let’s take it apart bit by bit.
Roberts says: “It took the Russians and Chinese too long to comprehend the evil that has control in Washington.”
+BN: You gotta be kidding. Putin and Jinping are “old school” boys with a lot of practice and experience dealing with deceivers, double-crossers, schemers, double-dealers, that is, (at least in Putin’s case), JEWS.
For example. When did Jewmerica begin its Anti Ballistic Missile System program in Poland and the Czech Republic aimed at Russia?
In 2002, two years into Putin’s first term as President, when Jewmerica broke the ABM treaty.
Since then, Jewmerica insists that the missiles were to deter “nuclear attacks” from Iran.
You believe that and all the Jew neocons (whom Putin is well aware of) are giving up their jobs to become Christian missionaries in Kenya.
Then Roberts says: “Russia can announce that as NATO countries are now officially recognized by Russian war doctrine as an enemy of the Russian state, Russia can no longer support NATO’s aggression against Russia by selling natural gas to NATO members.”
+BN: Pardon me PCR, but Russia will go instantly bankrupt by losing revenue from the HUGE sales of gas to “all those Nato members” who make up every country throughout Europe and the EU, and then some.
In common parlance, it’s called “cutting of your nose to spite your face.” Putin is NOT that kind of guy like the clowns run by the Jews in DC.
The shock to the Russian economy by cutting sales of gas to Europe would result in what happened in the 90s to Russia when millions likely died of starvation, when the Harvard Jews looted Russia’s industries.
BE REASSURED everybody, that Putin (and Xi Ping) are not ingenues when it comes to dealing with JEW-RUN DC.
They will both first PROTECT their OWN national interests before venturing into casino games where ‘winners’ eventually lose their shirts. +BN
PS Since PC Roberts no longer responds to my emails after telling him that JEWS and NOT “presstitutes” own the media, (Jews who own the media do not prostitute themselves to their fellow Jews who own Capitol Hill and Congress, but work together in their evil schemes), if any of you are in contact with Roberts, PLEASE send to him my above rebuttal of his foolish “plan” for Russia and China “to save the world” in 2015.

It was Chicago school of economic Jewish boys Jeffrey Sachs, Robert Rubin instructing the Clinton chosen, shill Yeltsin.
Them along Clinton Jewish body Anatoly Chubais who instructed on privatization scandal the idiot Yeltsin.

And not only that after the country was preprepared for the Asian crisis of 97.
People should read the polices on economy Yelsin and how well Russia did before putin came in.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Yeltsin
Chubais ran to England when the crises happened with all his money along with rest of Jewish oligarchs that stole the country properties at the rigged privatization scandal.
From Moscow Patriarchate:
November 7, 2014 – Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, head of the Moscow Patriarchate’s department for external church relations, with a blessing of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, attended the Russian-American Forum of Christian Leaders which took place at Charlotte, North Carolina.
The forum was organized by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and attended by representatives of Christian Churches in Russia and the USA.
The dialogue between the Russian Orthodox Church and American Protestants demonstrates that despite “political differences” between the two countries, the two people can unite under the leadership of Jesus Christ.

CICERO (Marcus Tullius Cicero). First century B.C. Roman statesman, writer.
“Softly! Softly! I want none but the judges to hear me. The Jews have already gotten me into a fine mess, as they have many other gentleman. I have no desire to furnish further grist for their mills.” (Oration in Defense of Flaccus)
Cicero was serving as defense counsel at the trial of Flaccus, a Roman official who interfered with Jewish gold shipments to their international headquarters (then, as now) in Jerusalem.
Cicero himself certainly was not a nobody, and for one of this stature to have to “speak softly” shows that he was in the presence of a dangerously powerful sphere of influence,” and on another occasion Cicero wrote: “The Jews belong to a dark and repulsive force. One knows how numerous this clique is, how they stick together and what power they exercise through their unions. They are a nation of rascals and deceivers.”
SENECA (Lucius Annaeus Seneca). First century Roman philosopher. “The customs of that most criminal nation have gained such strength that they have now been received in all lands. The conquered have given laws to the conquerors.” (De Superstitione)
DIO CASSIUS. Second century Roman historian. Describing the savage Jewish uprising against the Roman empire that has been acknowledged as the turning point downward in the course of that great state-form:
“The Jews were destroying both Greeks and Romans. They ate the flesh of their victims, made belts for themselves out of their entrails, and daubed themselves with their blood… In all, 220,000 men perished in Cyrene and 240,000 in Cyprus, and for this reason no Jew may set foot in Cyprus today.” (Roman History)
DIODORUS SICULUS. First century Greek historian. Observed that Jews treated other people as enemies and inferiors. “Usury” is the practice of lending money at excessive interest rates. This has for centuries caused great misery and poverty for Gentiles. It has brought strong condemnation of the Jews!
BERNARDINO OF FELTRO. 15th century Italian priest. A mild man who extolled patience and charity in normal circumstances, he described himself as a “barking dog” when dealing with Jews:
“Jewish usurers bleed the poor to death and grow fat on their substance, and I who live on alms, who feed on the bread of the poor, shall I then be mute before outraged charity?
“Dogs bark to protect those who feed them, and I, who am feed by the poor, shall I see them robbed of what belongs to them and keep silent?” (E. Flornoy, Le Bienbeureux Bernardin the Feltre)
AQUINAS, THOMAS, Catholic Saint. 13th century scholastic philosopher. In his “On the Governance of the Jews,” he wrote: “The Jews should not be allowed to keep what they have obtained from others by usury; it were best that they were compelled to worked so that they could earn their living instead of doing nothing but becoming avaricious.”
POPE CLEMENT VIII: “All the world suffers from the usury of the Jews, their monopolies and deceit. They have brought many unfortunate people into a state of poverty, especially the farmers, working class people and the very poor.
“Then as now Jews have to be reminded intermittently anew that they were enjoying rights in any country since they left Palestine and the Arabian desert, and subsequently their ethical and moral doctrines as well as their deeds rightly deserve to be exposed to criticism in whatever country they happen to live.”
@Mario Herrera
“We are living a world today that the news flows faster than the poison of the Jews, and they know that.”
_____
That pretty well sums it up. This has made them and their father reckless – to devour whom they are able before their end. History does seem to repeat itself:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, prowling about, seeking whom he may devour:” 1 Peter, 5:8
“. . . the Jews: Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.” 1 Thes. 2:15
@Tony
Brother Nathanael is absolutely correct about the “Harvard Jews.”
It appears that you have misunderstood what “Chicago school of economics” means. It’s not an institution but a name for a certain academic economic discipline and studies.
The Chicago school of economics is a neoclassical school of economic thought associated with the work of the faculty at the University of Chicago, some of whom have constructed and popularized its principles.
That doesn’t mean that the institution of the University of Chicago had a direct hand in Russia’s disasterous economic and financial nightmare during the 1990s.
Jeff Sachs graduated from Harvard, he became a full Harvard professor in economics (now at Columbia since 2002), and he was the academic leader of the the organized academic mafia of Harvard Jews responsible for the rape, pillage and plunder of Russia (and that of other East European, Asian and South American countries).
This Harvard academic mafia was formally titled the Harvard Institute for International Development (HIID) operating under contract to the US Government agency, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) primarily responsible for administering civilian foreign aid.
Sachs is a Harvardite “White Shoe Boy” through and through. “White Shoe Boy” is a phrase derived from “white bucks,” laced suede or buckskin shoes with a red sole, long popular in the Ivy League colleges.
Sachs was invited to join the Harvard Society of Fellows while still a Harvard graduate student.
In 1980 he joined the Harvard faculty as an assistant professor and was promoted to associate professor in 1982. A year later, at the age of 28, Sachs became a full professor of economics with tenure at Harvard.
During the next 19 years at Harvard, he became the Galen L. Stone Professor of International Trade, director of the Harvard Institute for International Development at
the Kennedy School of Government (1995–99), and director of the Center for International Development (1999–2002).
Larry Summers, another “White Shoe Boy,” attended Harvard University as a graduate student (Ph.D., 1982). In 1983, at age 28, Summers became one of the youngest tenured professors in Harvard’s history.
After the dissolution of the USSR, there was a vacuum of ideology in Russia and it was successfully filled with Harvard-promoted neoliberalism and associated neo-classical economics, sometimes called the “Chicago school of economics,” “school” in the sense of an academic discipline, not insitution.
Enter HIID’s predatory capitalism outreach and economic colonization of Moscow, which was “a think-tank dedicated to helping nations join the global economy, operating between 1974 and 2000.”
It was a center within within Harvard University, and the umbrella organization for overseas aid and development programs led by the university but funded by the government or foundations.
The HIID coordinated development assistance, training, and research on Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
The Harvard academic mafia and its Moscow cronies was a powerful “fifth column,” oriented on helping the West to extract as much wealth from Russia as possible was created.
Although now significantly reduced under Putin’s administration and reforms, this “fifth column” of remnant Russian businessmen and investors (politically reduced from “oligarch” by Putin) still pull in the direction of the West.
Through HIID, the USA essentially forced Russians into so called shock therapy using Harvard academic mafia.
The privitization plan was authored by Jeffrey Sachs who was lecturer at Harvard and implemented by Larry Summers’ protégé, Russian émigré Shleifer and several other Harvard academic brats with a couple of British lapdogs to make the gang international, and greedy communist-turned-predatory-capitalist internal compradors in Yelstin government as fifth column.
One of those intermediaries in Moscow who was the architect of Russian privatization was former First Deputy Prime Minister Anatoly Chubais and his clan of kleptocrats, a darling of the U.S. and Western financial establishments.
Chubais’s drastic and corrupt stewardship made him extremely unpopular, to say the least.
As a result poverty level jumped from 2% to 40%. Everything that could be stolen, was stolen by implementation of rapid privatization policy.
During the heydays of corrupt Yeltsin regime’s implementation of shock therapy, the GDP dropped 50%. The Suicide rate doubled, life expectancy for males dropped below 60 years (12,8% death rate increase), homeless children which were unknown in the USSR became a mass feature of new social order. Malnourishment was the norm.
Many people now growing up in the ’90s have chronic health problems directly attributable to malnutrition and starvation in the Yeltsin era, and its been said that millions may have died from the artificial famine.
During that time, there was no protection for workers, and all rules concerning the hiring of workers and contracts were rudely broken by the up and coming US funded, Harvard Jewish academic mafia supported “Russian,” mostly Jewish, Oligarchy clans.
It was not unusual for students to pass out in class because of hunger. Many of these were children of parents who both had a higher education and a job, but had not been their salaries in months.
Wages from Russian companies were delayed by several months, which was very profitable for the employers because the country was suffering from horrible inflation and unemployment.
School principals resorted to using funds allocated for school usage such as repairs and school books in order to buy school lunches for students (sometimes at exorbitant prices), so they could have at least one normal meal a day.
My late husband, P.L., a Russian national during the ’90s, remembered how he turned off the refrigerator because there was nothing to stock it with. He worked worked mostly pick-up jobs wherever he could find them.
He earned the equivalent of a Master’s degree in English literature and philology at the University of Leningrad during the ’70s. Fluent in English, he was able to obtain on-call work as a translator and temporary office worker, such as for the American Red Cross which was trying to provide famine and food relief to Russia, coordinating with American
businesses exporting food to the stricken country.
Between jobs when cash dollars ran out, P.L. ate margarine spread on a piece of bread, or bread fried in oil with sugar, or macaroni and milk, beans, and when that ran out, he went hungry. Sometimes he and his circle of friends were able to pool enough cash and basic foodstuffs together to make soups, bean dishes, or baked dishes.

As for Chubai, although a Russian billionaire, he didn’t run off to Britain or Israhell as many of the Jew oligarchs did. In Russia, he is cursed as often as he is credited for the rapid and severe privatization of Russian state assets in the early 1990s. When asked to name their most hated countryman, many Russians would indicate Chubais.
He is blamed for creating the system of oligarchs, and impoverishing millions as a result of his economic reforms. But foreign advisors, mostly predator capitalists, have praised his “shock therapy” approach, which assured the creation of a capitalist market economy, however painful it might have been for ordinary people.
When Yeltsin was confronted with the failure of privatization, he is reported to have exclaimed, “It’s all Chubais’s fault!” The phrase became a popular a slogan on t-shirts and made Chubais the butt of many jokes.
A dramatic blackout in Moscow in 2005, while Chubais headed RAO Unified Energy System, the Russian state electric power conglomerate, did little to help his popularity, and elevated him to the status of national laughing stock.
The city was paralyzed and underground trains were stalled for several hours. Whenever there is a blackout, Russians now quip, “Chubais paid a visit!” At the time, there were
immediate calls for the resignation of Anatoly Chubais in his capacity as chief of UES.
Putin, president at that time, publicly rebuked Chubais for negligence, but only a lower ranking official – Arkady Evstafyev, the head of Mosenergo, Moscow’s power company – actually lost his job.
Chubais personally and officially apologized to all people who suffered from the power shortage. He said “There is no question that UES and I personally as chairman, are fully responsible for the accident.”
If most 19th century American Robber Barons and their vast monopolies had at least created something out of nothing, such as the inter-state railroad system, utilities and power monopolies, mining and manufacturing industries, and subsequently gave large endowments to colleges and universities, the Russian oligarchs for all of their scheming, corrupt practices and greed added nothing to what already was something.
Virtually all their wealth came from the seizure of Russia’s raw material assets, which until 1992 had been owned and managed by the state.
By the time Putin succeeded Yeltsin in 2000, there was much to remedy. One of Putin’s first steps was to declare a change in the rules of the game.
As he put it in a meeting with the oligarchs in February 2000, “It is asked, what then should be the relationship with the so-called oligarchs? The same as with anyone else. The same as with the owner of a small bakery or a shoe repair shop.”
That Putin said this at a special meeting with the oligarchs was taken as a signal that the oligarchs and petty tycoons would no longer be able to flout government regulations, manipulate politics, and count on special access to the Kremlin.
In July of that year, Putin told the oligarchs that he would not interfere with their businesses or renationalize state resources as long as they stayed out of politics and continued to reinvest in Russia.
Alas, the temptation of the oligarchs’ political involvement proved too difficult for them to overcome. As more people grew richer, some were inevitably tempted to expand their activities beyond business.
Several, including Vladimir Gusinsky and Berezovsky, created media empires of television stations, newspapers, and magazines and used these outlets to attack not only each other, but also Putin, particularly for his policies in Chechnya and his response to the 2000 sinking of a nuclear-powered submarine in the Barents Sea.
As Putin was betrayed by these oligarchs politically for their broken promises, he went after them. Khodorkovsky, the worst snake of the lot who routinely victimized both Russians and foreigners, now rebranded as “political prisoner” and “champion of democracy civil rights,” became the focus of intense civil and criminal investigation.
Major foreign investors in Khodorkovsky’s projects regularly found that they had acquired worthless pieces of paper, sometimes losing billions thanks to his financial and corporate shell games.
After the pre-Putin Russian government declared a moratorium on the repayment of its debt on August 17, 1998, most Russian banks, including Khodorkovsky’s Menatep, simply closed their doors, depriving hundreds of thousands of ordinary Russians of their savings. Rather than try to help depositors and other lenders, Khodorkovsky took whatever sound assets he could salvage and diverted them to a subsidiary in St. Petersburg, beyond the reach of his creditors.
After lengthy and often halfhearted intervention by the government, Menatep eventually agreed to provide token compensation; so did Yukos, to those who had taken its stock as collateral for loans to the company. But by the time Khodorkovsky was through issuing new shares and watering down the old stock, few of the banks’ depositors or lenders had much to show for their efforts.
Still, it was less Khodorkovsky’s financial skullduggery than it was his interference in political matters and blatant heavy-handed lobbying that upset Putin.
Khodorkovsky was reported to have offered Russia’s two liberal parties, Yabloko and SPS (the Party of Right Forces), $100 million to unite and campaign together in opposition to Putin and his United Russia Party. And he broadly hinted that he would run for president in 2008, when Putin’s term is due to expire.
Khodorkovsky also actively promoted legislation that would benefit Yukos. It was said that, to ensure such support, he bought control of as many as 100 seats in the Duma (the lower house of the Russian parliament), including several held by members of the Communist Party.
Whether the rumors were true or not, he was able to head off attempts by the Duma to increase taxes on petroleum producers in 2001 and 2002.
Such lobbying in the U.S. Congress is hardly a surprise for Americans, especially on energy matters, but to Putin it represented a violation of the deal he had offered the oligarchs, and a danger and threat to the Russian state. The siloviki, the law-and-order types from the KGB, the police, and the army that Putin had been bringing into the government, felt the same way.
Putin’s been cleaning up Dodge City ever since, regaining some of the state resources which had been lost through the manipulation of a poorly conceived privatization process, and laboriously working to unravel the rigged bids, bribes, violence, and dubious interpretations of the law that resulted.
In any case, as for Chubais, ever since his public humiliation and apology, Chubais seems to keep his head down politically, although his older brother, Igor, a Moscow professor and commentator, is openly vocal about his anti-Putinism.
In 2008, Medvedev appointed Chubais as General Manager of the State Corporation RUSNANO (formerly Russian Nanotechnology Corporation), a joint-stock company created and owned by the government of Russia and aimed at commercializing developments in nanotechnology.
The official business of the corporation is to promote innovation and modernization in Russia’s economy in several areas.
For example, RUSNANO forms an important part of the government’s strategy to find economic alternatives in order to reduce the country’s dependence on fossil fuels.
So there you have it Tony, hope it straightens things out.
Tony, thank you for that exposure of Paul Craig Roberts.
To Hoff.
Rupert Murdoch, born an Australian, is also a Jew, having had a Jewish mother, a socialite, very wealthy who married a man years older than she was.
Died fairly recently.
That is why he is honoured, having made his billions as a Jew.
@Irene
I would put Craig Roberts in same bag with Robert Reich and the like of Joseph Stiglitz who is a Jew.
Roberts knows and knowledges who runs the show but he still supports the left and is liberal.
He cries the past yet in present he still supports the same trash.
@Sadly, pro-Russian sites like The Vineyard Of The Saker buys into the Jew agenda.
Apparently the Saker lives in America.
It is certainly prudence that induces him to pussyfoot over the Jewish question.
