LinkedInNow I don't know the ins and outs of Russian politics, obviously, but I suspect this one is highly significant, especially given the way RT is reporting it, and especially since I've been saying "watch Russia, and watch Mr. Putin," very closely: Top politician, longtime Putin ally Surkov quits Cabinet Now, in the bad old days of Stalin, Khrushchev, Kosygin, Brezhnev, Chernenko, Andropov, and perhaps even Mr. Openness himself, Mr. Gorbachev, I doubt we would have read anything this forthcoming from the Russian media: "The head of non-parliamentary liberal party Yabloko, Sergey Mitrokhin, … [Read more...]
PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS ON THAT GOLD THING
April 25, 2013 By
Former advisor to President Ronald Reagan, Paul Craig Roberts has weighed in on the big sell-off in paper-gold and paper-silver last Monday that occurred suspiciously prior to the Boston Marathon Bombing, and this one is worth p0ndering folks: Update to the Update: The Attack on Gold — Paul Craig Roberts Now, I have to doff my hat to Roberts for calling it like it really is: "Now, to protect its bank rescue policy, the Fed is attempting to drive down the price of bullion, thus depriving Americans of any way of protecting their life savings from the inflation that the Fed’s money … [Read more...]
MAGNITSKY ACT ACCORDING TO PUTIN
April 19, 2013 By
There is an interesting article over at the Huffington Post and the implications between the lines are well worth considering in some depth. The article is here: Magnitsky Act, U.S. List Of Alleged Russian Human Rights Abusers, Could Have 'Very Negative Effect' On Relations, Says Putin Now I want to draw your attention to a few paragraphs in this article that will concern us here: "The Magnitsky Act is named after Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer who died in a Moscow jail in 2009 while awaiting trial on tax evasion charges. Relatives and former colleagues say he was jailed by the same … [Read more...]
CYPRUS: CLASH OF OLIGARCHIES AND GEOPOLITICS, PART TWO
March 24, 2013 By
In yesterday's blog about the affair of the theft of Cypriots' savings by European banksters, I presented the basic thesis that the background is as much geopolitical as financial. In that context, it should come as no surprise that the Cyprus affair occurs as the West is bogged down in Syria, caught red-handed in support of extremist rebels who make the Assad regime look like a font of compassion and restraint. Syria, of course, is a necessary operation in the geopolitical sense, for it ill-behooves any potential military operations against Iran to have a strong ally of Russia positioned … [Read more...]

CYPRUS: CLASH OF OLIGARCHIES AND GEOPOLITICS, PART ONE
March 23, 2013 By
I really don't know where to begin this series, nor how, and I do so with some trepidation, and for that matter, more than my usual amount of it. Whenever I blog, I am acutely aware of the fact that there is a certain responsibility I have, and chief among these is to make it abundantly clear to my readers that a large part of what I do here is speculation. Oftentimes I call it high octane speculation. But today, and for the next few blogs (however long it takes me to get my thoughts down in words), even the phrase "high octane speculation" seems inadequate, for in a certain punning sense, … [Read more...]

RT: RUSSIA NOW THE WORLD’S LARGEST GOLD BUYER
February 18, 2013 By
This one interests me, not only for the story, but for the "subtext" in the story, and my thanks to Mr. C.S. in Europe for sharing it with me. Russia Today (RT) is reporting that that country has now become the world's largest purchaser of gold bullion, exceeding even China: Russia emerges as world's top gold buyer, adding 570 metric tons in last decade Now in one sense, we may take this as more geopolitical and econopolitical confirmation of something I have been sayhing on this website, and that others have been arguing on their sites. The scramble to repatriate gold from the US … [Read more...]

RT TV AND THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE TO THE EUROPEAN UNION
October 25, 2012 By
RT TV, and the RT website, as you are aware, is one of my favorite sites, and now it would appear that they are coming to grips with the emerging transhumanism-alchemy technocratic agenda (and my thanks to co-author Scott D deHart for bringing this to my attention): First the EU, next Frankenstein? Nobel Committee’s decision ‘farcical’ – RT’s Max Keiser As I am writing this blog, I am also listening to a popular American talk show host, commenting in disbelief on the Nobel committee's decision to award the peace prize to the European Union. Of course, these prizes are nothing … [Read more...]
