Marcus King - The War Against Putin

Between 2000 and 2004, the cunning Putin sucked the Oligarchs into his orbit by reaching a ‘grand-bargain’ with them. {50} 50 Search Term: Putin oligarchs grand bargain The deal allowed the Oligarchs to maintain most of their power, in exchange for their support and alignment with the new government. As Michael Corleone (played by Al Pacino) said in The Godfather ; “Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer.” Putin continued to “play ball” with the mighty Oligarchs, patiently counting the days until he would be strong enough to crush them.

In 2001 came the horrific terrorist attacks of 9/11 in New York and DC. As was the case with 1998 African embassy bombings, the new American President, George Bush (43), was quick to finger Afghanistan’s guest, Osama Bin Laden, for the attacks. Bin Laden denied any role in the airplane attacks which killed nearly 3000 people. From his Central Asian hideout, Bin Laden issued a statement saying:

“I was not involved in the September 11 attacks nor did I have knowledge of the attacks. There exists a government within a government within the United States. That secret government must be asked as to who carried out the attacks.” {51} 51 Search Term: Bin Laden denies role in 9/11

The Globalists had their “Pearl Harbor” moment, and the excuse needed to resume “The Great Game” in Afghanistan. The Israel First “Neo-Conservative” faction of America’s Ruling Class also seized upon the attacks as the pretext for invading Iraq, Israel’s enemy.

Lest the reader reflexively dismiss the pro-Israeli motivation for the Iraq War as being “anti-Semitic”; consider the astute observation of the Jewish journalist of Watergate scandal fame, Carl Bernstein. Speaking before a roundtable panel on MSNBC in 2012, the Washington Post’s legendary scribe stunned his non-Jewish fellow panelists with the following revelation about the Iraq War:

“This was an insane war that brought us low economically, morally…. We went to war against a guy who had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. It was a total pretext. It’s inexplicable, and there you go to Cheney, there you go to Bush, there you go to the Jewish neo-cons who wanted to remake the world. Maybe I can say that because I’m Jewish . To bring about a certain result…” {52} 52 Search Term: Carl Bernstein Iraq war jewish neo-cons you tube (emphasis added)

Upon hearing Bernstein’s “politically incorrect” bomb blast, the panelist seated next to Bernstein snapped his head up and turned towards Bernstein with a look of evident surprise. The others nervously froze up. The subject was quickly changed by the moderator. To view this very telling moment, have a look at the You Tube video of it.

Tempting as it may be, it would be too much of a digression of time and focus to explore some of the gaping holes in the “official version” of the 9/11 attacks. The reader is free to believe what he wants to about the attacks. The essential take-away point which cannot be denied is that the monstrous attacks proved to be heaven-sent (or shall we say “hell sent’) for both the Brzezinski wing and the Bush/Cheney Neo-Con wing of America’s foreign policy establishment. The traumatized American public demanded blood, and Bush/Cheney were about to give it to them, and lots of it too.

Years later, the full extent of the crazed ambition behind the Neo-Con scheme was described by General Wesley Clark, former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO Europe. In a 2007 interview, Clark revealed the details of a 2001 conversation he had with one of his former Generals. The unnamed General had direct access to the office of the Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld. General Clark stated:

“So I came back to see him (the General) a few weeks later, and by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, “Are we still going to war with Iraq?” And he said, “Oh, it’s worse than that.” He reached over on his desk. He picked up a piece of paper. And he said, “I just got this down from upstairs” — meaning the Secretary of Defense’s office — “today.” And he said, “This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.” {53} 53 Search Term: Wesley Clark take out 7 countries in 5 years

By the end of 2001, NATO was already pretending to “hunt for Bin Laden”, in the caves of Afghanistan. As he initially did with the Oligarchs, Putin went along with the farce, turning the other cheek as NATO set up shop near his Central Asian border with Afghanistan.

In early 2003, NATO (the US and a small handful of junior partners) terror bombed and invaded Iraq under the patently false and incredibly idiotic pretext of stopping Saddam Hussein from developing “Weapons of Mass Destruction”. The patient Putin contested the false “WMD’s” claim, but again, he was forced to accept Bush’s unjust war because Russia was still too weak to confront America.

But Russia was now strong enough to crush the terrorist “rebels” and foreign mercenaries of Chechnya once and for all. In 2002, 40-50 Chechen terrorists had kidnapped 850 movie goers; threatening to kill them if Putin did not remove his troops from Chechnya. A Russian Alpha group was forced to gas and raid the theater. All of the terrorists were killed as were about 130 hostages. This marked the beginning of the end for the Chechen “rebels”.

In 2003, a referendum was held in Chechnya adopting a constitution which declared the Republic as a part of Russia. Chechnya was gradually stabilized and redeveloped. Parliamentary elections and a regional government were also established. The final victory over the Chechen terror gangs removed a huge problem for the still vulnerable Russian Republic.

With Chechnya off his plate, and his public approval riding high, Putin made his move against the Oligarchs. Oil and media mogul Khodorkovsky was arrested in October 2003 and charged with fraud and tax evasion. Khodorkovsky was also suspected of having ordered several murders, but there was not enough direct evidence to try him for those cases (too many “buffers”) .

Khodorkovsky’s partner in crime, Leonid Nevzlin, later fled to Israel. Berezovsky and Gusinsky went into exile, facing prosecution if they ever return to Russia. Putin regained control of stolen enterprises, natural resources, Oligarch media, and the associated tax revenues. Many of the criminal Oligarchs ended up in jail. Those who escaped Sheriff Putin’s justice fled to America, Britain, or Israel. A few other big shots were allowed to hold onto most of their assets; provided that they behave themselves.
