Oh, the horror of it all, big bad Putin has done it again. Just days after the worst human rights
abusers on the planet called for global sanctions against Russia for human
rights abuses, Putin bitch slaps them by banning Orwellian “National Endowment
for Democracies” from Russia.
Russia has said it will not
tolerate "interference" by foreign organisations after it put a US
pro-democracy foundation on a blacklist.
The National Endowment for
Democracy (NED), funded by the US Congress, is the first organisation to be
labelled "undesirable" under a new Russian law.
Russia's Foreign Ministry warned
that "we will never tolerate mentoring and open interference in our
affairs by foreign structures".
US officials condemned Russia's move.
The US Department of State called
the blacklisting "a further example of the Russian government's growing
crackdown on independent voices and another intentional step to isolate the
Russian people from the world".
Russia's Foreign Ministry hit back by saying the NED's name was
"deceptive" because "it is only non-governmental on paper,
while in reality it has, from the moment it was set up, received funding from
the US budget, including funding via the channels of intelligence bodies".
The ministry said that analysis of NED projects "shows that they
are aimed at destabilising the internal situation in countries which pursue
independent policies in line with their own national interests, rather than
following instructions from Washington".
Introduction
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is a private,
nonprofit foundation dedicated to the growth and strengthening of democratic
institutions around the world. Each year, WITH FUNDING FROM THE US CONGRESS,
NED supports more than 1,000 projects of
non-governmental groups abroad who are
working for democratic goals in more than 90 countries.
Further investigation of their website reveals a couple places
their “democratic goals” are in full force are Ukraine and Eritrea. If the “democratic goals” are endless war and
displacing your population into refugee camps filled with hunger, despair and
disease, then NED gets an A+.
So I wanted to find out more about this “private, nonprofit”
NGO that the U.S. Congress is funneling billions of dollars into and took a
stroll over to Consortium News, Robert Perry’s site. Here’s what Perry had to say in December of
2014:
Excerpt:
Exclusive: A shadow foreign policy apparatus built by Ronald Reagan for the Cold
War survives to this day as a slush
fund that keeps American neocons well fed and still destabilizes target nations, now including Ukraine….
The National Endowment for Democracy, a central part of Ronald
Reagan’s propaganda war against the Soviet Union three decades ago, has evolved into a $100 million U.S.
government-financed slush fund that generally supports a neocon agenda….
NED has invested in projects in Russia’s close neighbor, Ukraine, that fueled violent protests
ousting President Viktor Yanukovych, who
won election in 2010 in balloting that was viewed by international observers as
fair and reflecting the choice of most Ukrainian citizens.
My, my, my. I wonder
how much of that $8 trillion missing at the Pentagon has gone to those neocons
over at NED. Since the overthrow of the American government
on December 12, 2000 those neocons have all become millionaires. And don’t forget, just a couple days ago, the
U.S. was agitating for global sanctions against Russia for human rights abuses
in the form of an expanded “Global Magnitsky Act.” From Sputnik News:
Excerpt:
The Global Magnitsky Act would
expand Russia-specific sanctions passed in 2012 to apply globally, by denying corrupt officials and human rights
abusers from any country entry into the United States and prohibiting the use of US financial
institutions.
Ha ha, they’re banned from using the most corrupt banking
system in the world.
The Magnitsky Act allowed the US
Treasury to apply sanctions on dozens of Russian officials believed to be
responsible for the death in pre-trial detention of Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian
lawyer who alleged official corruption at the highest levels of government.
Magnitsky, a managing partner of
Moscow law company Firestone Duncan, was detained in 2008 and accused of
conspiracy and abatement for tax evasion by a group of individuals. Less than a
year later, Magnitsky died of heart failure while still in custody…
Hmmm, so who’s this Magnitsky dude and why has the U.S.
congress passed a law in his name? I guess I’ll mosey on over to Wikipedia and
see what I can find.
Excerpt:
The Magnitsky Act, formally known as the Russia and Moldova
Jackson-Vanik Repeal and Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of
2012, is a bipartisan bill passed by the U.S. Congress and President Obama
in November–December 2012, intending to punish Russian officials responsible
for the death of Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky in a Moscow prison in 2009.
The Obama administration made
public a list of 18 individuals affected by the Act in April 2013. [13][14][15]
The people included on the list are….
Artyom Kuznetsov, a tax investigator for the Moscow
division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Pavel Karpov, a senior investigator for the Moscow division of the Ministry of
Internal Affairs
Oleg F. Silchenko, a senior investigator for the Ministry of
Internal Affairs
Olga Stepanova, head of Moscow Tax Office No. 28
Yelena Stashina, Tverskoy District Court judge who prolonged
Magnitsky's detention
Andrey Pechegin, deputy head of the investigation
supervision division of the general prosecutor's office…
Hmmm, I see a pattern here, they are all tax investigators
and a judge that sentenced this Magnitsky guy.
So this Magnitsky Act was a “sanction against human rights violators.” And what was Putin’s reaction?
On April 13, 2013, Russia released a list naming 18 Americans
banned from entering the Russian Federation over their alleged human rights
violations, as a direct response to the Magnitsky list.[22] The
people banned from Russia are listed below:
US officials involved in legalizing torture and indefinite
detention of prisoners:
John Yoo, Assistant US Attorney General in the Office
of Legal Counsel, Department of Justice (2001–2003)
Geoffrey D. Miller, retired US Army Major
General, commandant of Joint Task Force Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO),
the organization that runs the Guantanamo Bay detention camps (2002–2003)
Ah, ha ha, stop my sides hurt, Putin banned Bush’s neocon
torture team. Well, I don’t know about
you, but I want to know more about this subject. Here’s an interesting article from ArmstrongEconomics:
Excerpt:
So Who Really Tried to Blackmail Yeltsin & Takeover Russia –
NSA-CIA-or Investment Bankers?
Perhaps the number one question I
always get about the ordeal I went through and the sheer chaos that surrounded
everything, was just who really was
behind the plot to blackmail the former head of Russia Boris Yeltsin to stop
him from running for reelection in 2000 and hand-pick Boris Abramovich
Berezovsky?....
Wow, that sounds interesting.
Bereszovsky, who fled to Britain obtaining political asylum, suddenly
hangs himself. Then there is the lawyer/accountant Sergei Magnitsky, who
represented Safra’s Hermitage Capital Management mysteriously dies in prison
awaiting trial and then is given a posthumous trial and found guilty.
While he was portrayed in the West as a whistle-blower, don’t
forget so was Safra against Bank of New York.
Well, after the overthrow of the American government in 2000
whistle-blowers are tortured and killed or locked up for life. That’s the new America; that’s why Edward
Snowden had to seek asylum in Russia.
This is curiously strange for a foreign act to prompt Congress to pass
a law in the USA. We cannot leave out Edmond Safra’s own mysterious murder
in Monaco (Death in Monaco) that took the fire company hours to reach being
just 10 minutes away while his more than 20 bodyguards were all given the night
off and reported bullets in his body with his nurse saying Russians dressed as
ninjas showed up….
Man, that crap sounds like the Bush/Cheney, Obama/Biden
modus operandi.
Yeltsin was convinced to take $7 billion from the IMF funds to
refurbish the Kremlin – a staggering amount of money. The funds were wired
to a largely unknown company in Switzerland. The wire was steered through Bank of New York and as soon as it was
made, Safra had his bank run to the Feds and report that Bank of New York had
just conducted a money laundering event…
It was at this time that THE
CONSPIRATORS threatened Yeltsin with exposure of his theft of $7 billion on the
world stage. The demand was to appoint
Berezovsky as the new President of Russia and for Yeltsin to step down and not run in 2000.
Yeltsin, realizing he was set up, turned to Putin who nobody had heard
of. As the story goes, Putin promised to take care of everything if Yeltsin
appointed him instead, Yeltsin resigned on December 31, 1999, after Safra was
killed on December 3rd in Monaco. The Presidential
elections were held in Russia on the 26th of March 2000 formally electing
Putin.
Aha! That is why they hate Putin so much.
Berezovsky and Gusinsky fled Russia
with their assets confiscated with the former gaining political asylum in Britain
and the latter taking off to Israel. I even had a meeting with the Assistant US
Attorney in NY in April 2000 about this mess because they ran into huge
problems with the whole Bank of New York alleged $7 billion Money Laundering.
They could not get any cooperation from the Russian government.
It was Edmond Safra’s Republic
National Bank then ran to the US Government in August 1999 and informed them
that the Bank of New York had just wired
$7 billion to Switzerland in a money laundering scam…
The wire was sent to Mabetex, which
was the Swiss based company ran by
Kosovo/Swiss entrepreneur Behgjet Pacolli who claimed to have the contract
to refurbish the Kremlin. He became
President of Kosovo in 2011….
Putin, unlike most politicians,
is renowned for being very smart and an extremely rare type personality that is
well suited for a head of state unlike most leaders in the West.
And there you have it.
Putin bitch slapped the Orwellian
“National Endowment for Democracies”, made a mockery of the Magnitsky Act and
exposed the corruption of the entire EU, US and Canadian cabal in one fell
swoop. Well done Pooty Poot. But then unlike “most leaders in the West”
you are smart and an extremely rare type of personality well suited for a head
of state. Bravo.
