Very good call yesterday with President Putin of Russia. Tremendous potential for a good/great relationship with Russia, despite what you read and see in the Fake News Media. Look how they have misled you on “Russia Collusion.” The World can be a better and safer place. Nice!

Had a long and very good conversation with President Putin of Russia. As I have always said, long before the Witch Hunt started, getting along with Russia, China, and everyone is a good thing, not a bad thing........We discussed Trade, Venezuela, Ukraine, North Korea, Nuclear Arms Control and even the “Russian Hoax.” Very productive talk!

BREAKING!!! THE WORLD IS WARMING FASTER AS THE REST OF THE WORLD?? DANGEROUS LIES FROM THE MEDIA!!

That`s right, you did`nt misread the title. According to the MSM that makes complete sense. This is dangerous misreporting of the facts!

Russia expels USAID development agency

Check.
Good for you Mr. P.

What most people don't realize is that the state of the world is being played out on a 5 dimensionally tiered chessboard, with the United States government hell bent on helping out those that they insist
don't understand the game.
The US does it under the guise of AID, which one would think, and is led to believe, would consist of food and medicine. But that's not how the AID (American Interference Department) work. It works by creating distention through out a chosen country, until unrest rears it's ugly head, thus providing the American government with the much needed reason to go in and assure that democracy prevails.
Or in other words, it provides nourishment for the Industrial Military Complex and affords it job security for the multiple minions of it's ranks.
Mr. P. quite effectively just blocked their move.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has announced it will close its offices in Russia following an order from the authorities there to cease operations.

The Russian government gave the US until 1 October to close the mission, accusing it of meddling in politics.

USAID has worked in Russia for two decades, spending nearly $3bn (£1.8bn) on aid and democratic programmes.

The expulsion follows a government crackdown on pro-democracy groups.

"The decision was taken mainly because the work of the agency's officials far from always responded to the stated goals of development and humanitarian cooperation. We are talking about attempts to influence political processes through its grants," the foreign ministry said in a statement.

 

The Russian authorities have become increasingly suspicious of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), which it believes are using foreign funding to foment political unrest, says the BBC's Steve Rosenberg in Moscow.

Vladimir Putin admits stage managing animal stunts

My laugh for the day, actually turned into a pretty cool lesson, in diplomacy.

Raise your hand if you didn't know Mr. P sets up his "cause ops".
Those empty "Al Capone" vault moments can be just a little embarrassing,
as well as, does nothing for the "cause" that's being promoted
Mr. P has a thing for wildlife, so he promotes it's conservation.
It's pretty admirable, as well as unique. I sure can't think of any other world leader that does as much.

Mr P. not only addressed an issue (that apparently people didn't actually know about) of contention, but he also did it with alot of finesse, and in doing so he allowed, Ms. Gessen to keep her pride, as well as her dignity.
I probably would have just said,..... "Duh"....

Vladimir Putin has admitted to staging some of his most famous stunts, including meeting endangered big cats and the "discovery" of ancient Greek amphorae in the Black sea, a Russian journalist has claimed.

Putin: Romney Helped Russia By Calling It Top Foe

Just in case you thought I was kidding about Romney's agenda. The American people are tired of the Middle East agenda, but the promotion of a Russian agenda is a horse of a different color. There is no traffic jam, for the fear propaganda to get caught up in, but the cost of the toll to ride this road, will be more than "WE" have ever paid before, with exit ramps that will be very far apart, with none in between.
Think about it

President Vladimir Putin says a comment made by U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney has made Russia feel justified in opposing America's missile defense plans in Europe.

The Republican challenger to President Barack Obama has branded Russia the "No. 1 geopolitical foe" of the United States.

Putin said Tuesday that statement shows

$9 a gallon for gas in NJ and NY

And so that you know and feel for the plight of their pain, 50 gas station owners have decided to charge you an extra 4 or 5 dollars a gallon. Not the competitive .20 cents extra, that they are charged, because that would actually seem to reasonable. Their purpose is to ignite the flame of anger, so that retaliation that the White House (think Mitt Romney here)will seem reasonable and just, because Russia will deserve it....right?
Because this IS the way "We" roll here in America now. Staged left, staged right, it doesn't matter, because the "plot" never changes, violence and dominance are the order of the day. The Military Industrial Complex will be fed at all cost and the propaganda is now in play to ensure that it is.

If you had sticker shock at $4 a gallon for gas, get ready for $9 gas.

Several LukOil franchise owners raised their prices to more than $8 a gallon on Wednesday to protest what they say is the company's unjustified pricing policies.

They complain that they have to pay up to $.20 a gallon more than other station owners and can't be competitive.

A station in South Plainfield, N.J. had signs listing regular gas for $8.99 a gallon and premium listed at $9.49 a gallon for cash and $9.59 for credit.

A Shell station across the street had regular gas priced at $3.99 a gallon.

More than 50 franchise owners in N.Y., N.J. and Penn. are part of the

AP Exclusive: Memos show US hushed up Soviet crime

And here is another fine example of the ineptitude of MSM journalism.
AP shame on you! For not stepping a little farther back into history.
How does one blame this on the Russians?
This little ditty is a continued part of the Jewish Bolsheviks reign of terror.
Did you even try fact check to see who Genrikh Yagoda was and what he and his Jewish henchmen did? Why I believe it was to set up and establish the Gulags in Russia and imprisoned all the Christians there, and then after he fell out with Stalin and was executed in 1936, this nasty little midget, so named named affectionately Yezhov, the "bloodthirsty dwarf" took his place and the blood lust continued by the little "purge" pusher himself.
Do you know who Alexander Solzhenitsyn is? Well he asserts and I have no reason not to believe him that from 1917 until well after WWII, the Bolsheviks (who were Jews by the way, fully funded by the Rothschilds)) were responsible for the killing of 66 million Russians. In 1937-1938 the little "purge pusher" made sure that all of the old school Soviet Military leaders were tried and either executed or sent to the Gulags.
So who was really responsible for the mass execution of the Polish "elite" in Katyn Forrest? It definitely has a Jewish flavor all over it to me.
Do you know after WWII where the Russian soldiers went back to? The Gulags and I'm pretty sure, it wasn't by choice. The influence of the Bolsheviks were still pushing the issue.
The Bolshevik's massacre of the Russians, make WWII look like a pathetic joke.
Don't believe me?
Do your own DD, like I did, just don't be force fed, the BS, of a very poorly put together article that only surface skims the actuality of what really happened.
Hearsay IS NOT history, facts are!

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The American POWs sent secret coded messages to Washington with news of a Soviet atrocity: In 1943 they saw rows of corpses in an advanced state of decay in the Katyn forest, on the western edge of Russia, proof that the killers could not have been the Nazis who had only recently occupied the area.

The testimony about the infamous massacre of Polish officers might have lessened the tragic fate that befell Poland under the Soviets, some scholars believe. Instead, it mysteriously vanished into the heart of American power. The long-held suspicion is that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt didn't want to anger Josef Stalin, an ally whom the Americans were counting on to defeat Germany and Japan during World War II.

Documents released Monday and seen in advance by The Associated Press lend weight to the belief that suppression within the highest levels of the U.S. government helped cover up Soviet guilt in the killing of some 22,000 Polish officers and other prisoners in the Katyn forest and other locations in 1940.

The evidence is among about 1,000 pages of newly declassified documents that the United States National Archives is releasing Monday and putting online. Historians who saw the material days before

China Sounds Alarm on Global Economy at APEC Summit

China sounded the alarm about the state of the global economy on Saturday and urged countries gathering at an Asia-Pacific summit to protect themselves by forging deeper regional economic ties.

Chinese President Hu Jintao said his country would play a role in helping deepen cooperation between the 21 members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) by rebalancing its economy to improve the chances of a global economic recovery.

Russian President Vladimir Putin had also expressed concern about the world economy on Friday, and particularly about Europe's debt crisis, as he prepared to host the annual APEC summit in the Pacific port city of Vladivostok.

"The world economy today is recovering slowly, and there are still some

Putin Looks East for Growth as Debt-Ridden Europe Loses Sheen

Keep on keeping on Mr P. At least Russia has an actual legitimate direction in which to go into, rather than the business of creating "bogus" wars, to use as a floaty, to keep from drowning, in the deep waters, of debt.
The United States, is now in the middle of the ocean, and there's a ever growing larger pinhole, in it's floaty.

Russia, faced with a debt crisis in its top trading partner, is pivoting east for the trade and investment President Vladimir Putin needs to meet the economic targets he set for his third term.

The world’s largest energy exporter plans to construct an oil refinery on the Pacific coast and may send grain eastward as Toyota Motor Corp. (7203) and Mazda Motor Corp. (7261) consider building Russian plants. The government has spent more than $20 billion to showcase Vladivostok, 4,000 miles east of Moscow, as leaders gather for this week’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.

Russia is looking to Asia as the European Union, which accounts for about half of its trade, grapples with a three- year-old debt crisis. Putin, who’s targeting faster growth and a greater role for investment, says the 21 APEC economies represent the best bet to fuel global expansion as traditional engines such as the U.S. and Europe flag.

“Russia has long been an intrinsic part of the

Why is Putin stockpiling gold?

Because he's very smart, that's why. The dollar is going to die and Russia is not going down.

I can’t imagine it means anything cheerful that Vladimir Putin, the Russian czar, is stockpiling gold as fast as he can get his hands on it.

According to the World Gold Council, Russia has more than doubled its gold reserves in the past five years. Putin has taken advantage of the financial crisis to build the world’s fifth-biggest gold pile in a handful of years, and is buying about half a billion dollars’ worth every month.

It emerged last month that financial gurus George Soros and John Paulson had also increased their bullion exposure, but it’s Putin that’s really caught my eye.

No one else in the world plays global power politics as ruthlessly as Russia’s chilling strongman,

Vladimir Putin: Syria reform 'cannot come with bloodshed'

Welcome back Mr.P.
You are such a refreshing "Voice of Reason".

Speaking in his first full television interview since resuming the presidency, Mr Putin said: “Today some people want to use militants from al-Qaeda or some other organisations with equally radical views to accomplish their goals in Syria. This policy is dangerous and very short-sighted.”

The Russian leader was responding to a host at the Kremlin-controlled RT channel who suggested that western and Arab nations were “sponsoring terrorism” by supporting the rebel coalition, the Free Syrian Army, which was “suspected of hiring known al-Qaeda fighters”.

Do you ever hear any of this wisdom from any of our leaders?
NO!

Mr Putin expressed agreement with the assessment and said: “In that case, one should unlock Guantanamo, arm all of its inmates and bring them to Syria to do the fighting - it's practically the same kind of people.”

He warned against foreign intervention in Syria, saying that “no one is confident” that US troops will have stabilised Afghanistan by the time they withdraw.

“The most important task today is ending the violence," he added. “We must urge all the warring parties, including the government and the so-called rebels, the armed opposition, to sit down at the negotiating table and decide on a future that would guarantee security for all of the stakeholders within Syria.”

Super Putin:The amazing adventures of Russia's prime minister

Mr P. is no longer the Prime Minister.
He is once again heading Russia as their President.
I personally am happy he is around. I find the world to be a little bit more safer with him on watch.
He never shoots from the hip, but always stops to take aim.
It's nice to know he's there, to keep the world in check.

Putin Is Demonized While Democracy Fails In Amerika ~ Paul Craig Roberts

Propaganda and the art of it's persuasion, understood for what it is in it's full context by Paul Craig Roberts.
This is a MUST read.

The latest “rights group” to jump on Russia’s President Putin about Pussy Riot is RootsAction. Following the propaganda line that Washington has established, RootsAction’s appeal for money and petition signers states that the three Russian women were sentenced to two years in prison “for the ‘crime’ of performing a song against Russia’s president Vladimir Putin in a Moscow church.”

This statement is a propagandistic misrepresentation of the offense for which the women were tried and convicted.

I have expressed my sympathies for the convicted women, and as a member of Amnesty International and the American Civil Liberties Union, I support human rights.

But I do not support the use of human rights organizations in behalf of Washington’s propaganda.

If Putin or some other official has the power to commute the sentences, I hope he uses it. But I do not think that the concerted Western propaganda campaign against Putin encourages that result. Twice as many Russians support the sentence than oppose it.

If the sentence is commuted in response to the Western propaganda campaign against Putin,

Nuclear stock piled pension I suppose that going to blow at any minute unless the Republicans agreed to add a little more water in the holding tank.
It really looks like they're going to stop spending doesn't it.
Apparently they don't teach you in Political Pose 101 how to keep your word.
I find it ultimately fascinating how they always slip it to "US" secretly through the back door.
Of course on the other hand maybe it a pension fund they have going on with the Russians. Lets face it they've been working on this problem with nuclear stockpiles for decades. So feasibly there could be a retirement pension involved.

(This version CORRECTS that the $1 billion that would cover a pension fund deficit is part of the extra $4.1 billion in funding, not an additional amount, and that officials who traveled to Arizona were not White House aides.)


The Obama administration is offering to add billions of dollars in funding for the U.S. nuclear stockpile in a deal that it hopes will win enough Republican support for approval of a nuclear arms control treaty with Russia

Russia is burning in Hell's Fire storms. Siberian plague kills Russians

http://kavkazcenter.com/eng/content/2010/07/30/12337.shtml

The big "what if"
The possibility is there people. We do know for a fact that a navy base burnt. They didn't let that happen on purpose I can assure you.

So-called fiery storms, which were not observed in previous years, emerged in the hotbeds of fires raging in central Russia, the head of the civil defense department at the Emergency Situations Ministry of Russia Sergey Shaposhnikov said.

Medvedev ordered his defense ministry "to use all necessary forces and capabilities to assist in fire suppression", the press service of the Kremlin said.

The reason for using the army is possibly the fact that more and more Russians are getting infested with Siberian plague (anthrax) which appeared in some Russian regions.

It is unclear yet if it is due to another leak of Russian bacteriological weapons. Involvement of the army may indirectly indicate that such a leak nevertheless occurred because of fires and hellish heatwave.

According to Russian media outlets, at least 5 peasants from the village of Bekeshevo, Tyukalinsk district of Omsk region, near Omsk, were hospitalized with a diagnosis of "Siberian ulcer" (AKA anthrax, or Siberian plague). Two of them are in critical condition and probably died already.

"The district veterinary service confirmed a diagnosis of anthrax with two peasants. The village was put under the quarantine, homestead round has been conducted. The specialists examined all the cattle and the villagers, but had found nobody else infected.

Therefore, it is possible that another leak of bacteriological weapons occurred from some secret military plant. Russia is known to have secret storage and improving of forbidden arms in violation of all international treaties, which is traditional for this country. Anthrax is the most common and widespread type of bacteriological weapons.

A large number of secret Russian factories producing chemical and biological weapons are located in Omsk and near it.

Putin Says Chlorine in Chickens Unsafe

http://www.foodsafetynews.com/2010/01/pm-putin-says-chlorine-in-chickens-unsafe/

The rest of the world doesn't want what they force you to eat.
How much poison can a body ingest?


Getting another American chicken into Russia just got harder.

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin weighed into the Russian ban on U.S. chicken imports.

"We haven't seen any readiness to meet Russian standards on the part of some of our partners, mainly the companies from the United States," Putin said. "If our foreign suppliers are unable or reluctant to meet our security requirements, we will use other sources."

The Russians banned chickens from countries using chlorine in poultry processing beginning Jan. 1 2010. Putin made the Americans the odd man out saying that Russia was merely joining the European Union in banning, for food safety reasons, chickens from chlorine-using counties.

"One shouldn't look for political background in this case, God forbid," said Russia's former President and one-time KGB agent. "No political background here!"

Nato commander warns of conflict with Russia in Arctic Circle

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article6859007.ece


Competition for resources in the Arctic Circle could provoke conflict between Russia and Nato, a newly appointed commander at the alliance warned yesterday.

Russia has recently been aggressive in its pursuit of claims to parts of the region and in February sent a submarine to the floor of the sea symbolically to plant a Russian flag. Admiral James Stavridis said that military activity and trade routes would also be potential sources of competition around the polar cap.

Speaking at the Royal United Services Institute in London on Nato’s future direction, Admiral Stavridis, Supreme Allied Commander for Europe, predicted that relations with Russia will dominate thinking at the alliance
Amid concern from Eastern European Nato members over the principle of collective defence, Admiral Stavridis repeatedly stated his commitment to Article 5 of the 1949 treaty agreement, that an attack on one Nato nation is an attack on all. But he also said that Nato should not be regarded as a “world policeman”.

Medvedev Shows Off Sample Coin of New ‘World Currency’ at G-8

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aeFVNYQpByU4


July 10 (Bloomberg) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev illustrated his call for a supranational currency to replace the dollar by pulling from his pocket a sample coin of a “united future world currency.”

“Here it is,” Medvedev told reporters today in L’Aquila, Italy, after a summit of the Group of Eight nations. “You can see it and touch it.”

The coin, which bears the words “unity in diversity,” was minted in Belgium and presented to the heads of G-8 delegations, Medvedev said.

The question of a supranational currency “concerns everyone now, even the mints,” Medvedev said. The test coin “means they’re getting ready. I think it’s a good sign that we understand how interdependent we are.”

Medvedev has repeatedly called for creating a mix of regional reserve currencies as part of the drive to address the global financial crisis, while questioning the U.S. dollar’s future as a global reserve currency. Russia’s proposals for the G-
