During this brief conflict, August 14 to be precise, the US used the opportunity to close a deal with Poland to deploy a missile defense system in Polish territory, with a tracking system to placed in the Czech Republic. In spite of the ridiculous claim that missile systems were being deployed to counter an Iranian threat, the Russians knew that the systems were designed to give NATO a potential first strike advantage. Medvedev and Putin eventually responded by drawing up contingency plans for the destruction of the systems. {72} 72 Search Term: Medvedev speech to nation on missile defense bases
Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s envoy to NATO and current Defense Minister stated of the US-Polish deal:
“The fact that this was signed in a period of very difficult crisis in the relations between Russia and the United States over the situation in Georgia shows that, of course, the missile defense system will be deployed not against Iran but against the strategic potential of Russia. {73} 73 Search Term: Rogozin, the missile defense system will be deployed not against Iran
The liberation of South Ossetia and Abkhazia by the swift defeat of the Georgian military, combined with growing Russian threats to respond to the missile systems; sent a strong message to NATO, the two faced monster of Bush-Cheney, and also to the pre-anointed Messiah/President to soon be; Barack Obama.
The message was now loud and clear: “Don’t mess with the new Russia.”
1: When Putin-Medvedev finally flexed Russian muscle, it was impressive. 2: With great fanfare, TV’s talking-heads across America (and Europe) trumpeted the ‘Breaking News’ of the ‘unprovoked’ invasion of Georgia. 3: Georgia’s despicable puppet President Saakashvilli -with an EU flag in his office — became so nervous he was seen eating his own tie.
CHAPTER 13
Putin’s Global Trade Blocs & Alliances
When we compare and contrast Globalist owned America’s bullying, bribing, bombing, blackmailing, and brow beating of weaker nations the world over, to Putin’s astonishing track record or respectful diplomacy and deal making, it is not surprising that so many nations started flocking back to Russia’s orbit of trade and diplomacy. In addition to becoming the most domestically popular of the world’s major leaders, Putin was soon to achieve international “rock star” status as well. And boy oh boy does this drive the control freak Globalists nuts!
Putin was instrumental in establishing good relations with China; the other ex Communist giant which had now embraced market economics. In the summer of 2001, Russia and China signed the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation .
The two nations would also form the foundation of a regional trade bloc known as the SCO ( Shanghai Cooperation Organization) . The other original members include Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
In 2002, the heads of the SCO states met in Saint Petersburg, Russia. They signed the SCO Charter which set forth the organization’s purposes, principles and structures. Its six members accounted for 60% of the land mass of Eurasia and 25% of the world’s population. With observer states included, SCO affiliates account for about half of humanity.
In July 2005, at its fifth summit, held in Kazakhstan, with representatives of India, Iran, Mongolia and Pakistan in attendance, host President Nazarbayev greeted the guests, stating:
“The leaders of the states sitting at this negotiation table are representatives of half of humanity”.
By 2007 the SCO had initiated over twenty large-scale projects related to transportation, energy and telecommunications and held regular meetings of security, military, defense, foreign affairs, economic, cultural, banking with officials from its member states. All of Eurasia now wants to join SCO. Even Turkish President Erdogan, fed up with the EU playing games with Turkey, has asked Putin to let Turkey into the SCO. In 2013, Erdogan stated:
“If we get into the SCO, we will say good-bye to the European Union. The Shanghai Five [former name of the SCO] is better — much more powerful. Pakistan wants in. India wants in as well. If the SCO wants us, all of us will become members of this organization.” {74} 74 Search Term: Erdogan, if we get into the SCO we say good-bye to European Union.
Soon afterwards, “spontaneous” anti-Erdogan NGO protests (dutifully hyped by the Western media) erupted in Turkey. President Erdogan boldly accused the West of orchestrating the protests. {75} 75 Search Term: Erdogan says same forces behind Brazil and Turkey protests
The foreign ministers of what were to become known as the initial four BRIC states (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) met in New York City in September 2006. This began a series of high-level meetings among these developing giants. A full-scale diplomatic meeting would be held in Yekaterinburg, Russia, in May 2008. BRICS emerged as an independent international organization that facilitates commercial, political and cultural cooperation between the BRIC nations. In 2010, South Africa joined BRIC, making it BRICS.
1: Putin mends fences with China. 2: Putin establishes the BRIC(S) trade powerhouse. 3: Russia & China’s SCO is growing fast and “everyone wants in”.
As an interesting and very telling side note, it was during this time period of the original September 2006 pre-BRIC meeting that Putin delivered a special gift to America. Exactly five years had passed since the 9/11 attacks, and the US government had yet to build a memorial to the victims. Putin presented America with a beautiful sculpture to commemorate the fallen towers of New York City.
The work of art is called ‘The Tear Drop Memorial. It consists of a 100 foot tall tower, with a huge open crack running down the center. Hanging from the crack is a massive “teardrop” designed to actually drip water. The base of the monument is surrounded by a marble wall with the names of the 3000 victims engraved in alphabetical order.
Instead of erecting the monument somewhere along the scenic Jersey City waterfront (directly across from Manhattan) , authorities dumped Russia’s impressive gift in a depressed and unseen spot in Bayonne, NJ. (7 miles away from Southern Manhattan and around the corner from a junkyard!) In spite of the presence of both Putin and ex-President Clinton at the dedication ceremony, the New York media gave the beautiful memorial the total silent treatment. The monument remains barely known, even among local residents of Bayonne!
One Bayonne City Councilman, though happy to host the monument, said he was baffled by Jersey City’s rejection of it.
“This is a beautiful memorial. I don’t know why they (Jersey City) didn’t want it. We don’t even have money to keep the teardrop operational. That’s why it stays dry.” {76} 76 From personal and confidential interview with Bayonne councilman
Putin made a beautiful gesture towards America. But the Globalists, in anticipation of the eventual confrontation against the allied independent powers of Russia & China, need to portray Putin as a thug. That’s why the 9/11 memorial gift from Russia remains unknown to Americans, and so pitifully neglected.
