Putin's Absolute Rule

There was the NKVD, Stalin's henchmen, who, on orders from Stalin's, executed in 1940 the polish intelligencia, fearing they would oppose soviet occupation and domination, including 61000 people of which 15000 were civilian professionals and the polish elite, and 9000 Polish Army officers, 4800 of which were found by the Nazi in 1943 in a mass grave in the Katyn Forest in Eastern Poland. Then we had the KGB, Kruchev-Brezhnev's Boys who kept an eye on Eastern Europe, during which OUR PAL PUTIN, got his training.

Now we have the FSB, the Russian Federation Secret Bureau under control of Moscow and that means Putin in fact and concurrently soon Medvedia by law. The stink of course was the assassination of the KGB spy, with poloium, purportedly done by the Russians under orders from Moscow. I don’t really have a problem with a sovereign government ordering the assassination of a spy turn-coat, the problem of course, was that the deed was done on British soil, with London in a fuss and demanding extradition of the alleged assassin, with Moscow refusing, of course, and in retribution to the extradition clamor, the Russians are shutting down British-Counsel offices, one of which was the recently targeted one in Ekatrinburg, east of Moscow, and all of which are purportedly cultural exchange offices, teaching English and Western Culture to Russians, the charges being alleged trump up charges of tax evasion, and alleging its a spy front, as Putin attempts to apparently silence non-government organization (NGOs), particularly foreign ones, from operating in Russia, and meddling in Russia's internal affairs. This is kind of like Nixon's "outside agitators" operating on the UC Berkeley campus or others in the early 70s. The difference of course is that Nixon was a War President, and Putin is not, and so, the justifications for sensorship does not seem apparent in Russia. What do they have to loose, with free speech, by anyone, I ponder continuously, without result.

Maybe PM Brown should follow Churchill's then example, and ignore the executions, to preserve the alliance. That is, let it go, to sustain the cultural exchanges, the long term gain, for Russia and the world.

I get the over all impression that Moscow, and that means Putin, just does not like the west telling Russia that it needs further reforming and hurting control that may be deemed necessary to keep Russia on track improving its economy. Of course, I have no way of really telling the truth of any of it, from my garage computer. But cultural tendencies are hard to change, and the NKVD set a standard early on, that’s for sure. Of course Putin has done nothing of that nature, but the problem was not the executions per se, but the absolute rule that eventually corrupts absolutely.

Who really knows why Moscow is so resistance to absolute free speech, maybe its just cultural, and many Russians just don’t care, anyway. I don’t fully understand them, nor do I really know it all. I doubt if Professor Igor's english book on Russian culture, will explain Putin's motivations satisfactory. So, the mystery will continue.

But, with Putin as PM and Medvedeva as President, look out for the good-cop bad-cop routine on the international stage. Medvedeva is perfect as the international polite face man, and I think from Putin's power play perspective was a great choice. I of course will be advising Putin that Stalin's image just aint that great these days, as the world looks in retrospect, on absolute controls. Putin so far has done very well for Russia, and his legacy, is now his to loose in disgrace or cement in glory, in perpetuity.
=====
Putin has done a very good job cementing an energy empire for Russia, and gets very high marks for that.

Putin did not change the constitution for a 3rd term, and get very high marks for that.

Putin held RUSSIA together as an integrated country, and the world needs Russia to emerge as a strong economic force, and get very very high marks for that.

Putin defeated the chechnian rebellion, (as part of the war on terror), and get very very high marks for that, despite wold political opposition to his heavy hand there, that was and is COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED.

Putin did resurrect Russian pride, after the defeat of soviet Russia, and get very high marks for that.

Consequently, Putin has enjoyed, justifiably so, high domestic support.

However, with that support, and his cultural historical background, he has to be careful and not CONTROL to much, as it may be his undoing in the out years.

Putin was justified in sedating the Chenenia Rebellion.

Putin was justified in holding Russia together as one country. 

Putin was justified in going into S. Ossetia.

Putin was justified is forcing Ukraine to pay a fair price.

Putin was justified in seeking PM post, UNDER LAW.

 

The problem is that, he may repeat his Georgian mistake, with his soviet and control prospensities, and OVER PLAY HIS HAND, and be remembered as a tyrant, rather than a democrat. But either way, Russia is locked into the global movement, and will become more democratic as the decades march on, and the old soviet population dies off. DONE DEAL.

 

In 25 years, US and RUSSIA will be close partners,  and basically on the same team, which, in large measure they effectively are today, though you would not know it reading the press reports. The CORE members are essentially on the same team, in the global confluence.

 

The best thing for the WORLD, is for BHO to approach Putin, (they/he loves being respected on the world stage), with an olive branch, with offers to support full EU, WTO and NATO Russian integration, with return promises to curb Iranian and N Korean Nukes (which are allot closer to Russia than the US territories), as both powers fight together the war on terror.  

 

There are ABSOLUTELY no justifications for any hostilities between the YANKS and BEARS, in this 21st century.

Much of the hostility is based upon cultural and historical backgrounds, rather than an accurate apraisal of the current state of affairs.

If Putin could only see the future, and become a world class hero and a true democrat, and join the West, as we as a global people conflue together. 20th century is gone, and good riddens. Russia should also give back the Japan WWII island to Japan, for a very heavy heavy price, say 500 tonnes of gold. Putin needs this gold to then force the UN to abandon fiat money, and hence, the US fiat reserve currency.

Thereby removing a border distput with Japan which was WRONG in WWII, enabling EU/NATO integration, and global respect as a team player. And yes, I pray for Putin and BHO, for wisdom, (even though I cant stand socialists).

 

 For those who can see it, for what it exactly is:

 

Russia has moved from Tsarist Reign to Totalitarian Communism to Totalitarian Democracy.

America has moved from Democratic Capitalism to Democratic Regulated Markets, to Totalitarian Democracy.

 

WHAT's the DIFFERENCE?????  nearly zippo. Both have cultural background retarding those movements, from opposing political directions, but, both are meeting in the center of Totalitarian Democracy.  Putin's henchmen may very well stifle the press, as the DC elitists bailout the banksters. Which is more EVIL?  Flip a coin, I say. China has moved from Totalitarian Capitalism to Totalitarian Communism to Totalitarian Regulated Markets, and will also eventually get to, well you guessed it, Totalitarian Democracy, that is, the projected NEW WORLD ORDER. Totalitarian Democracy, is code speak for socialism, already cemented in the EU, which led the way, with Russia and the US not far behind, with China trailing a bit behind US-Russian cultural political evolution.

 

This socialism can only be sustained through a FIAT COMPLEX that allows government to secretly cheat and steal wealth from the people, to concentrate power in government, to perfect programs and mandates, in addition to progressive tax rates, both of which are inherently socialistic, and evil, but also, inherently unsustainable, and hence, causes periodic collapses of the fiat regimes, as the average fiat money last about 40 years, and Nixon closed the gold window in 1972, and 2012 is the when the FRN fiat collapse should be upon the world, as the FRN dollar is the world reserve currency.

 

WE ARE ALL FREAKING DOOMED!!

 

Totalitarian Democracy is OUT RIGHT socialism but with approval by the free-speech voters, and it is based upon:

the peoples voting approval of, all according to their ability, and all according to their need, per Karl Marx on the USSA.

 

Communism is an economic system, not a political state, which system is where the state owns all property.

Communism is a failure, because it does not reward human greed to maximize productivity. 

 

Capitalism and Socialism go through cyclic or secular movements. Socialism is currently peaking with fiat controls, as real money is suppressed and capitalism highly regulated. The pendulum swings, however, over the eons, and in 20 years, we will be back to PROSPEROUS times with a revival of capitalism, only to then be taken down again, as the collective COMPASSION over comes us all, leading to then another failure of socialism. And so on. But, the up coming global TRADE WARS, may suppress socialism in the far out years. We as a global people may just learn something new. Have faith, and realize that fiat money is inherently fradulent and is in its death throws, and so is Socialism, that is sustained only on that fraudulent money. Real Honest Money, budgets, and capitalism will return again, from the ashes of broken leftist promises, and will return next time world wide, as all compete in the up coming global trade wars. Have faith my friends, as night follows days, there will be a rebirth of self-reliance, self-reward, self-respect, and maximized productivity and individual charity, and improved over all standards of living, we just have to go through these periods of cry-baby decadent godless socialism, and resulting loss of wealth, from time to time. Until, we as a global people, finally, GET IT, and that is, we are human beings, individuals, and not monotones well suited to government dictates and dependency. But after the collapse, and gold replaces fiat, as war will be replaced by the TRADE WARS,  in the global confluence, where a premium is placed upon productivity, and that means, a CAPITALISTIC REBIRTH about the globe in this democracy (and ultimately capitlistic) century.

 

Currently, it is sad but true, we live in the UNITED SOCIALISTIC STATES of AMERICA.

Decadent Godless Socialism reigns supreme in the land of the enslaved and the cowards.

 

So, friends, live long (on gov-care) but dont prosper (as the state will take it from you), until we throw off the yoke of DC elitist socialism and return to our beloved democratic capitalism.

 

Until then, peace be with you, ................................... comrads.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev speaks with journalists during a news conference in London, after the G20 Summit. Medvedev hailed Barack Obama as "my new comrade" Thursday after their first face-to-face talks, saying the US president "can listen" -- even if little progress was made on substance.
