John Helmer : EU applies new legal rule to all Russians – what’s mine is mine, what’s yours is mine

Buried in the small print and legalese of the new European Union (EU) sanctions announced on June 24 is the re-establishment of the old European and American empires’ operation of privateering. That’s piracy on the high seas licensed by the monarch or the head of state on condition that the proceeds are shared with court and state officials.In short, state war for private profit — grand larceny by the Great Powers if they can get away with it.To make sure of that, the EU has issued “Council Decision (CSFP) 2024/1738”  which allows the thieving to be done in secret. In Article 1 of Monday’s document, the EU authorizes “the release of certain frozen funds [Russian], after having determined that the transfer of such funds is: (a) between two natural or legal persons, entities or bodies that are not listed in the Annex to this Decision”. That’s the stealing.  And here is the cover-up: Article 4a is amended to read that the operation: “shall be subject to professional secrecy and shall enjoy the protection afforded by the rules applicable to the Union institutions. That protection shall apply to the proposals from the High Representative for the amendment of this Decision and to any preparatory documents related to them.”This is the EU summary version of the new sanctions package.  Note that it disguises the privateering provisions as “specific initiatives to protect EU operators from expropriation and to respond to other illegitimate actions of the Russian state, including the theft of intellectual property.”An EU press release is also camouflage, describing the purpose of the new measures “to allow EU operators to claim compensation from damages caused by Russian companies due to sanctions implementation and expropriation. It also creates the instrument to draw up a list of company subject to a transaction ban for meddling with arbitration and court competence.”  The reaction in Moscow will be a counterattack on EU corporate and individual assets within Russian reach. This is spelled out in a report by Kommersant, the Moscow business newspaper, published on Monday. Read the verbatim piece translated into English here.   There is no reporter byline; illustrations have been added.

June 24, 2024With the courts wide openThe Europeans who lost in the courts in the Russian Federation are waiting for the EUEuropean citizens and companies from which Russian counterparties have collected penalties in the courts of the Russian Federation have been allowed to file counterclaims in the EU. The mechanism is provided for in the new package of sanctions. Russian state property cannot be seized by claims of private individuals, but recovery can be applied to private assets in the EU and other countries.Lawyers assess the measure as a “mirror response” to Article 248.1 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation (APC) on the transfer to the courts of the Russian Federation of disputes involving persons affected by sanctions. The EU has also banned any transactions with Russian individuals who have resorted to the mechanism, even if they are not on the blacklist.Amendments to EU Regulation No. 269/2014  of June 24 stipulate the “expediency of introducing a provision” that will allow individuals and legal entities from the EU to receive compensation from Russian citizens and organizations that “caused damage to them.” We are talking about damage to companies owned or controlled by Europeans, and losses incurred “in connection with a contract or transaction, the implementation of which was affected by measures introduced by Regulation No. 269/2014.” The regulation makes it possible to claim compensation in the courts of EU countries.Article 11a clarifies that damages include, among other things, legal costs incurred as a result of proceedings in the courts of third countries regarding a contract, the performance of which was directly or indirectly affected by sanctions imposed under regulation 269/2014.Filing a claim and recovery of damages is possible provided that the plaintiff “does not have effective access to legal remedies within the relevant jurisdiction.”The amendments provide for compensation for damage caused to European citizens and companies by the consideration of claims against them from Russian persons in courts outside the EU, explains Mergen Doraev, partner at the EMPP Law Office.    First of all, he clarifies, “we are talking about the consequences of disputes in the courts of the Russian Federation.” “This refers to a contractual dispute when the fulfillment of an obligation is complicated or excluded due to sanctions, and a European person does not have access to legal remedies in this jurisdiction,” adds Artem Kasumyan, a lawyer at the Delcredere Bar Association.

Sanctions law specialists, left to right, Mergen Doraev,  Artem Kasumyan,   and Kira Vinokurova.   US-trained Doraev has long experience as a lawyer to the Russian state nuclear companies, ARMZ and Tenex, as well as to Severstal and Rusal.  “The task is to provide Europeans with a remedy which,  in theory, will be able to balance a similar mechanism provided to Russian businessmen through the Commercial Procedure Code  [CPC] norm [Article 248.1 appeared in 2020  — Kommersant) on the exclusive jurisdiction of the Russian courts in sanctions disputes,” explains Mr. Doraev. The article allows Russian persons who are under sanctions or affected by them to transfer a dispute with a foreign counterparty to the Russian Federation.“If a Russian subsidiary under Article 248.1 of the CPC transferred the dispute to the Russian Federation and the court recovered a certain amount from the European counterparty, now the latter can go to court in Europe to recover damages related to the process and the loss,” explains Artyom Kasumyan.    He believes that “the European courts will be very willing to admit that in the Russian Federation, persons from the EU do not have access to effective remedies.”In Russia, the decisions of the European courts in such cases “most likely will not be executed,” emphasizes Kira Vinokurova, a partner of the Pen & Paper law firm in Moscow.   However, they can be executed in the EU and other countries. Regulation 269/2014 in Article 5 (1) explicitly provides that the competent authority of an EU state may authorize payment from frozen accounts of sanctioned persons if the funds are the subject of a decision rendered by an EU court, says Ms. Vinokurova.Considering that earlier Russian individuals had recovered funds from Europeans in a domestic court if they had property in Russia, “as a result, something like a forced asset exchange may occur,” believes Artyom Kasumyan. “But in any case, we are not talking about the possibility of satisfying private claims from the funds of the frozen sovereign assets of the Russian Federation,” Mr. Doraev clarifies.Also, Mr. Kasumyan notes, the plaintiffs can apply for the execution of the EU court’s decision in other jurisdictions if the assets of the Russian defendant are found there. “Theoretically, the execution of the decision of the EU court in another foreign country is possible,” admits Kira Vinokurova. “But it will depend on the national law of the state where it is planned to execute the decisions, and in the United States, for example, on a particular state.”

Another punishment for Russian persons who forced Europeans to sue in the Russian Federation under Article 248.1 of the CPC is recorded in Article 5ab of the EU regulation. The norm prohibits making any transactions with them “directly or indirectly.” “De jure, this is interference in the jurisdiction of Russian courts,” Mergen Doraev believes. For those who are already under EU sanctions, the norm does not matter much, but lawsuits were filed by those who are not included in the black lists. According to Mr. Doraev, “for many participants in foreign economic activity in the Russian Federation, the measure will serve as a warning, since it will entail a break in cooperation with European counterparties.”Source: https://johnhelmer.online/eu-applies-new-legal-rule-to-all-russians-whats-mine-is-mine-whats-yours-is-mine/#more-82222

John Helmer : EU applies new legal rule to all Russians — what’s mine is mine, what’s yours is mine

View from Washington: US exceptionalism is dead

A facile way to frame the future of American foreign policy is to set up two scenarios as a binary choice. If Donald Trump returns to the White House, the United States becomes isolationist. If Joe Biden wins reelection, the US remains broadly internationalist.

That framing neglects a change that may be less obvious but more consequential for other countries, a shift that will keep playing out no matter who wins in November: For the first time in its two-and-a-half centuries, the US will stop looking at the world through the lens of its own exceptionalism, and behave as just another Great Power using its awe-inspiring might to serve a narrow self-interest, writes Andreas Kluth, a Bloomberg opinion columnist.

The old notion that America is exceptional was there from the start. It inspired John Winthrop, as governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, to speak of a “city on a hill” and Ronald Reagan in 1980 to turn the same phrase into a “shining city upon a hill.”

This shared sense of exceptionalism was also the common factor in the country’s two otherwise contradictory foreign-policy traditions, as Henry Kissinger pointed out in 1994, at a moment of unipolar American primacy. Isolationists saw the US as perfecting its democracy at home and shining its light as a “beacon” to the rest of humanity but otherwise leaving the world alone. Internationalists understood exceptionalism as an obligation to spread American values around the world as “crusaders” or “missionaries.”

After World War II, an internationalist and quasi-messianic US built and policed a new world order, at least in much of the non-communist or “free” world. Good. In time, American confidence became hubris, as when George W. Bush proclaimed in 2002 that “today, humanity holds in its hands the opportunity to further freedom’s triumph,” and promised that “the United States welcomes our responsibility to lead in this great mission.” A few months later, he gave orders for a misguided and disastrous war in Iraq.

The eschatology of American democracy first became dubious during the first Trump term, especially with the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. If the country had subsequently rallied in defense of its republican ideals — during the congressional hearings on 1/6, for example — the next chapter could have reaffirmed the narrative of perennial self-correction. That didn’t happen.

Instead, the Big Lie (that the last election was “stolen” from Trump) lives on, alongside other conspiracy theories. Preparations are underway to use a second Trump turn to weaponize the Justice Department against political enemies, even as Trump’s minions pretend that this has already happened under Biden. The neutrality of more than one Supreme Court justice is in doubt. Left and right alike, for different reasons, fear that the rule of right is yielding to a rule of might, and are losing faith in America’s elections, institutions and exceptional virtue. The film that captures the mood this year is Civil War, a haunting tale of Americans killing one another for no fathomable reason.

The outside world is paying incredibly close attention. Foreigners certainly no longer see the US as a beacon of republicanism. Nor would they, whether allies or adversaries, tolerate any more American crusading. The Pew Research Center surveyed people in 34 countries, and found that an average of 69% had no confidence in Trump doing the right thing in world affairs; a still unflattering plurality of 46% said the same about Biden.

What arguably matters even more is what Americans believe nowadays. I doubt many beyond the capital’s Beltway would still subscribe to a phrase that former secretary of state Madeleine Albright coined and many Republicans and Democrats subsequently adopted, which sees America as the “indispensable” nation. Exceptionalism in its old form is dead, and with it notions about an American role as either beacon or crusader.

What will replace it? The new approach to world affairs would resemble the one Kissinger studied as a scholar and tried to practice as America’s top diplomat. It leaves less space for idealism and more for realism, places less emphasis on values and more on interests. It’s neither inherently good nor self-evidently bad, just very different in outcome for almost every other country.

Some students of American statecraft will mourn this shift. Others, irate about the hypocrisy that often accompanied both the beacon and the crusader personas, will shrug and say good riddance. In a sense, the world, inside America and beyond, is merely reverting to the historical norm, in which values mattered less and power more. America’s friends and foes alike should be aware.

POPULAR FRONT ? Lets DARE to DO IT !- CNT-AIT

OCCUPY FACTORIES, BUSINESSES AND HOSPITALS ! OCCUPY UNIVERSITIES AND HIGH SCHOOLS! GENERAL STRIKE

from thefreeonline le 25 juin 2024 Par CNT-AIT PHOTOS HERE thanks!(see- The Free on Telegram: t.me/thefreeonline)

In the collective and historical imagination, the Popular Front echoes two events that occurred in the summer of 1936, in France by one hand and in Spain by the other.

In France, in June 1936, a wave of spontaneous strikes ignited France following the victory of the coalition of different political parties ranging from far left (Communist Party, PCF), social democrats (Socialist Party, SFIO) and center left (Radical Party).And in Spain, on July 19, 1936, a popular insurrection, initiated by the popular class and the anarchists of the CNT-AIT, defeated the fascist coup of General Franco in reaction to the election of a coalition of far-left, left-wing and Republican political parties.

In France, these millions of strikers, by occupying their factories, without waiting for the instructions of the political parties and even often AGAINST the instructions of moderation of these political parties, have created such a balance of power against the Employers and the Bourgeoisie that the latter had rushed to make concessions like never before in the social history of this country, for fear that the strikers become radicalized and the revolt transforms into revolution.And it was the left-wing parties of the Popular Front which broke the dynamic of the strikers, asking them to stop their movement (the communist leader Maurice Thorez proclaiming his famous phrase “you have to know how to end a strike”.)

This first betrayal of the left was the beginning of a long series which ended tragically: the French Popular Front abandoned the Spanish Popular Front which ended up being crushed by the Francoists, which by its side had the support of Nazi Germany and fascist Italy.In 1938, the radical socialist Daladier signed the laws on “undesirable foreigners”, a foreshadowing of the current French Minister of Police Darmanin’s laws against migrants. And in 1940, the deputies of the Popular Front Chamber voted (1) 569 for and 80 against giving full powers to Marshal Pétain.

The Spanish Popular Front also experienced a disastrous destiny: while the Libertarian Revolution initiated by the anarchists on July 19, 1936 tried, in extremely difficult conditions, to invent another future, freed from the State and Capitalism, the Republican Government kept putting obstacles in their way.He was unfortunately helped by certain anarchists who believed in the sincerity of the Republicans to block fascism. Unfortunately, many Republicans, starting with the Communists, still preferred fascism rather than Anarchism and in May 1937, the Spanish Popular Front stabbed in the back the anarchist revolutionaries of the CNT-AIT and the heterodox communists of the POUM.

This was the end of the revolution and shortly after the defeat of the Popular Front against the fascists.Let History serve as a lesson to us: when workers are united, when they act directly on their own, without obeying the instructions of political parties who will always end up betraying, then workers and more generally the popular class can do things magnificent and grandiose, it can even conquer the sky.

If workers abandon their autonomy and their capacity for initiative to representatives, whether political or trade unionists, they will sooner or later be promised to serve as cannon fodder, for the State, for Capital, or for a political faction against another.Poverty, climate change, racism and the rise of identity or religious ideas, inequalities of all kinds… Yes, it’s true, we need a radical change in society, a break with the dominant order.

To those who dream of a Popular Front through the ballot box, we warn them against the disappointments to come: how these left-wing politicians, of whom Mélenchon is the caricature, who have been all failures since 1981 (2), can represent any hope of a break with a System which – literally – feeds them, whether in the form of their remuneration as elected officials or in the form of state subsidies to their political party or their union?Our only hope can only come from our self-organization, autonomously and horizontally, without a leader, without a spokesperson, without anyone who speaks in our name.

So yes, as at the time of the Popular Front, rather than passively waiting for some savior to come out of the polls (especially since the result risks being that of the far-right), now and without waiting anymore:LET’S OCCUPY OUR FACTORIES, LET’S OCCUPY OUR BUSINESSES, LET’S OCCUPY OUR HOSPITALS,LET’S OCCUPY OUR UNIVERSITIES AND OUR HIGH SCHOOLS!AGAINST FASCISM AND FOR LIFE!GENERAL STRIKE !CNT-AIT Anarchosyndicalism!contact@cnt-ait.info http://cnt-ait.infoOriginal text in French : FRONT POPULAIRE ?

Botschaft der Russischen Föderation: Dmitri Trenin im Interview für den Nachrichtenmagazin „Hintergrund“: Der Westen bekämpft Russland, als ob es keine Atomwaffen hätte

Die antirussische Einigkeit der westlichen Länder ist ein Erfolg der US-amerikanischen Strategie. Ab Mitte der 2000er Jahre, unmittelbar nach der US-amerikanischen Aggression gegen den Irak, begann Washington, die europäischen Eliten von »Dissidenten«, die sich der US-Politik widersetzten, zu »säubern«. Infolgedessen wurden die Nachfolger von Bundeskanzler Gerhard Schröder und Präsident Jacques Chirac sehr viel mehr zu pro-amerikanischen Politikern.

Später, als Folge der Sondereinsätze der USA und ihrer Verbündeten, wurden die Personen neutralisiert, die einen unabhängigen Kurs verfolgten: Dominique Strauss-Kahn in Frankreich, Vizekanzler Heinz-Christian Strache in Österreich und der stellvertretende Ministerpräsident Matteo Salvini in Italien. Pro-US-amerika-nische Medien in europäischen Ländern, vor allem in Großbritannien, Deutschland und Frankreich, schufen eine Situation, in der jeder Versuch einer objektiven Annäherung an Russland durch die sogenannten Russland- beziehungsweise Putin-Versteher als Abkehr von der liberalen Ideologie und de facto als Verrat an Idealen und Werten angesehen wurde. Ab etwa 2006 begann die regelrechte Dämonisierung Russlands und Putins persönlich. Diejenigen, die sich dieser Gehirnwäsche nicht unterwarfen, wurden aus der »anständigen Gesellschaft« ausgeschlossen. Zwanzig Jahre später haben die USA das Ergebnis erreicht, das sie anstrebten.

Die Notwendigkeit, sich dem Westen zu widersetzen, mobilisiert gleichzeitig Russland von innen heraus. Das zwingt die Russen, sich auf ihren Verstand und ihre eigene Arbeitskraft zu verlassen und wegzukommen von der Einstellung, wenn ein Land über Öl und Gas verfügt, alles andere im Ausland gekauft werden kann. Der Bruch mit dem Westen stellte Russland vor grundlegende Fragen in den Bereichen Wirtschaft, Politik, Ideologie und Werte. Die Antwort darauf war die These von einer eigenständigen russischen Zivilisation, die allmählich Gestalt annimmt. Dies ist ein Wandel von kolossalem Ausmaß. Nicht nur die Haltungen der letzten 35 Jahre, beginnend mit Michail Gorbatschows Perestroika, sondern auch die Haltungen der letzten 300 Jahre, beginnend mit Peter dem Großen, werden einer Revision unterzogen.

Wenn diese Bemühungen fruchtbar sind, wird sich Russland schließlich von einer peripheren Provinz im westlichen Weltsystem in eines der Zentren einer neuen Weltstruktur verwandeln, in der chinesische, indische, islamische, afrikanische und andere Zivilisationen, einschließlich der westlichen und der russischen, gleichberechtigt koexistieren und interagieren werden.

Kit Klarenberg : ‘The Franco-British Plot to dismember Russia’

By Kit Klarenberg*

Following the Bolshevik revolution, Britain and France had agreed to carve up the Soviet Union’s vast resources while neutralising any prospect of Moscow emerging as a major international anti-capitalist agitator.June marks a number of anniversaries, almost completely unknown in the West today, of significant events in the Allied invasion of the Soviet Union. Namely, when the entire wretched project began to spectacularly unravel. The loss of the Allied Powers’ Tsarist ally to the November 1917 revolution, and the embattled Bolsheviks subsequently granting Germany political and economic hegemony over Central and Eastern Europe via the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, led to wide-ranging imperial intervention in the Russian civil war, starting from May 1918.The effort was led by Britain and France. Soldiers drawn from the pair’s respective empires, and Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Greece, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, and the US, were deployed in vast numbers, fighting alongside local “White” anti-Communist forces. Initially prosecuted largely in secret, by June 1919, things were going so badly for the invaders that London formally dispatched a 3,500-strong “North Russian Relief Force” to the Soviet Union. Their ostensible mission was to defend threatened British positions in the country.Almost immediately though, the “defensive” unit was deployed on offensive missions, to seize key Soviet territory, repel the Red Army, and link up with White Russian forces. This thrust was comprehensively beaten back, however. From that point on, Allied fortunes rapidly worsened. White Russian soldiers violently mutinied against their “allies” and defected to the Bolsheviks, while invading foreign troops simply refused to fight due to horrendous battlefield conditions. All-out Western withdrawal commenced before the month was over.In failing to crush the Russian revolution, Britain and France lost a historic opportunity to “strangle Bolshevism in its cradle,”, in Winston Churchill’s pestilential phrase. The pair had agreed to carve up the Soviet Union’s vast resources while neutralising any prospect of Moscow emerging as a major international anti-capitalist agitator. The failure of invading powers to learn lessons from the debacle, and Russia’s visceral memories of the mass invasion, in no small part account for where we are today. 

‘Prolonged Enslavement’

In March 1931, Western-dwelling Russian-born academic Leonid I. Strakhovsky published a remarkable paper, The Franco-British Plot to Dismember Russia. As the author noted, “neither Britain nor France has as yet published any important documents” related to the Allied invasion at the time. This remains the case over a century later. Yet, Strakhovsky was still able to piece together “the startling designs” of Paris and London’s conspiracy “to bring about the complete dismemberment of the Russian realm for their own political and commercial advantage.”This agreement was cemented in L’Accord Franco-Anglais du 23 Décembre 1917, définissant les zones d’action Française et Anglaise (The Anglo-French Agreement of December 23rd,1917 defining the French and British zones of direct control and extended influence). The document established “zones of influence” for Britain and France in the Soviet Union. London was granted “Cossack territories, the territory of the Caucasus, Armenia, Georgia and Kurdistan.” Paris received “Bessarabia, Ukraine and Crimea.” White Russian military chief General Anton Denikin is quoted as saying “the line dividing the zones” stretched from the Bosporus to the mouth of the Don River:

“This strange line had no reason whatsoever from the strategic point of view, taking in no consideration of the Southern operation directions to Moscow nor the idea of unity of command. Also, in dividing into halves the land of the Don Cossacks, it did not correspond to the possibilities of a rational supplying of the Southern armies, and satisfied rather the interests of occupation and exploitation than those of a strategic covering and help.”

Strakhovsky observes, “a survey of the economic resources in the two zones of influence” lends credence to Denikin’s analysis. The territory marked out for French domination were and remain “large granaries;” and “the famous coal region” of Donetsk, “worthless” to coal-rich Britain, was “of great importance to France.” In turn, London “obtained all the Russian oil fields in the Caucasus,” and regions producing “an enormous amount of timber.” Britain urgently needed all the foreign wood it could lay its hands upon at the time.Strakhovsky comments that the December 1917 agreement amounted to, “a picture of organized economic penetration under the cover of military intervention.” Elsewhere, he quotes dissident US journalist Louis Fischer, “a parallel agreement disposed in similar fashion of other parts of Russia.” Despite this, France was “not satisfied” with its resource windfall. Officials in Paris attempted to compel General Denikin to sign a treaty which, if anti-Bolshevik forces had prevailed, would amount to outright “economic slavery”, putting “Russia at her mercy.” Denikin was not persuaded. His successor Pyotr Wrangel was. He accepted extraordinary conditions, which included granting France “the right of exploitation of all railways in European Russia during a certain period,” Parisian monopoly on Moscow’s grain surpluses and oil output for an indeterminate stretch, and a quarter of all Donetsk’s coal output “during a certain period of years.” As a Soviet writer quoted in Strakhovsky’s paper observed:“France was striving to obtain a prolonged and if possible an all-sided domination over Russia…a means of a prolonged enslavement of Russia.”

‘Half Measures’

Britain’s motivation for invading the Soviet Union went beyond visceral aversion to Bolshevism, and a desire to take the fallen Russian empire’s resource-rich lands into receivership: Namely, London’s “fear of the rising power of Russia” throughout the 19th century, which had produced the “Great Game”. This confrontation in Central Asia was concerned with preventing India – “the jewel in the crown” of the British empire – falling into Moscow’s sphere of economic and political influence.In a bitter irony, this longstanding anxiety meant Britain’s strategy in the Soviet invasion was equally concerned with crushing Bolshevism, while also preventing “the resurrection of the old great unified Russia.” This approach contributed significantly to the entire intervention’s failure. Strakhovsky notes, “Britain carried out her part of the intervention in Russia by half-measures, which certainly did not help the anti-Bolshevik forces in their struggle for a national government. He cites a Soviet writer:“In the North as well as in the South and in Siberia, the tactics of the English were clearly denoted by their desire to support the Russian counter-revolution, only as much as it was necessary to prevent a unification of Russia on the one hand under the Bolsheviks, and on the other hand under the [White] supporters of the great one indivisible Russia.”There was another ironic boomerang to Britain’s simultaneous belligerence and treachery in the Soviet Union. The paper concludes by noting that a contemporary parliamentary “special report of the committee to collect information on Russia,” produced at King George V’s express command, appraised that “the abundant and almost unanimous testimony of our witnesses shows that the military intervention of the Allies in Russia assisted to give strength and cohesion to the Soviet Government”:“Up to the time of military intervention the majority of the Russian intellectuals were well-disposed toward the Allies, and more especially to Great Britain, but that later the attitude of the Russian people toward the Allies became characterized by indifference, distrust and antipathy.”Per Strakhovsky, this “was the reward that Great Britain and France received” for attempting to dismember Russia. A similar dynamic is afoot today, as the Ukraine proxy war grinds on. The more genocidal, Russophobic rhetoric issues from EU and US officials, and the more Western-encouraged attacks on Moscow occur, the more united Russians become in opposition to their adversaries, and with each other.The West has made no secret of its desire to “balkanize” Russia since the proxy war began. In July 2022, a Congressional body hosted a dedicated event on the “moral and strategic imperative” of breaking up the country into easily exploitable chunks. It proposed sponsoring local separatist movements for the purpose. A year later, Italian journalist Marzio G. Mian toured Russia, and was overwhelmed by how the population was unified like never before. A typically mild-mannered academic acquaintance of his had “become a warrior”. They said:“[Stalingrad] is our reference point now more than ever, an unparalleled symbol of resistance, our enemies’ worst nightmare. Whosoever tries it will meet the end of all the others—Swedes, Napoleon, the Germans and their allies. Russians are like the Scythians: they wait, they suffer, they die, and then they kill.”

Pepe Escobar: BRICS+ Cities Unite in Kazan, Ushering in New Era of Cooperation

By Pepe Escobar

The idea, by Kazan mayor Ilsur Metshin, was as simple as quite revolutionary. Why not profit from the year of the Russian presidency of BRICS – with the first BRICS + summit taking place in Kazan next October – to come up with a new association uniting BRICS+ cities?

Mayor Metshin is a big fan of the “development oh horizontal links between cities.” Kazan’s experience in inter-municipal cooperation already spans over a quarter of a century, with places all over the world, and agreements on twinning relations struck with 71 cities.

The objective of the new association is to advance closer cooperation on several fields – from economy, culture and education to ecology, waste management and tourism. Like a giant city-to-city running dialogue – based crucially, to quote comrade Xi Jinping, on “peoples to peoples’ exchanges”.

Cue to this past long weekend in Kazan, when over 100 mayors, deputy mayors, heads of municipal associations and local government officials came to the magnificent Kazan City Hall for the first BRICS+ Association of Cities and Municipalities forum.

President Putin sent a special message to the opening ceremony, chaired by mayor Metshin, and featuring, among others, the mayor of Ankara, Mansur Yavash, and Yang Dong, Vice-President of the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.

BRICS members China, Iran, India, Brazil and South Africa sent the largest delegations to Kazan – ranging from small cities among the Brazilians to important Iranian cities like Isfahan and Mashhad to a powerhouse like Harbin in China, the gateway to trading with the Russian Far East.

The Argentina delegation – whose new President, Javier “Chainsaw” Milei, declined to be part of BRICS – included a true dissident, Juan Javier Willipan, the mayor of Moreno. The post-Soviet space was fully represented by Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Belarus and Azerbaijan.

It was fascinating to watch interconnected interests voiced out of multiple latitudes, from the young vice-mayor of Tehran, Hamidreza Natanzi, to ultra-energetic Bernadia Tjandradevi, a native of Yogyakarta, Indonesia’s cultural capital and secretary-general of the Asia-Pacific Chapter of the United Cities and Local Governments.

World Russia’s Kazan Hosts BRICS+ Cities Forum

Cruisin’ the Volga

It was more than fitting that the first step of a new, dynamic multilateral organization, with immense growth potential, should take place in Kazan, capital of Tatarstan, Russia’s window to the lands of Islam and 2024 BRICS+ capital.

The rich history of the city founded in the late 13th century by Mongols/Tatars of the Golden Horde after they got rid of the Bulgar kingdom on the middle Volga spans everything from capital of an independent khanate, major trading center, and the capture in 1552 by Ivan IV (“The Terrible”) with the old Tatar fortress rebuilt as a Kremlin, to hosting Tolstoy and Lenin as students.

So it was also fitting that the ultra-gracious, impeccably organized Kazan hosts would take the multinational BRICS+ crowd to a cruise in the Volga – the historic cradle of the Russian state.

Along the way, I shared a table with Mikhail Solomentsev, an immensely cultured diplomat, African specialist and today the permanent representative of the Republic of Crimea to President Putin. Our deep dive on all things Crimea – and beyond – was a day before the US-guided ATACMS attack on Sevastopol.

Our destination was the island town of Sviyazhsk, surrounded by rivers on all sides; the Pike, the Sviyaga and the Volga. The original settlement was founded in 1551 by Ivan IV as a fortress supporting Russian troops to advance and capture Kazan from the Golden Horde.

Sviyazhsk is immensely precious – starting with the Archeological Timber Museum, where the original village, preserved in mud, is now being restored, and all that coupled with a 21 meter-long mural of life in the village as it was, recreated by AI.

The Assumption cathedral is enriched by fabulous 16thcentury frescoes, including a ‘Saint Christopher with a Horse’s Head’ – literally, which would have been off-limits in a Rome basilica.

Analysis Pepe Escobar: How the West Was Defeated

The icing on the Tatar cake was the Sabantuy – a mix of Tatar folk holiday experience and agricultural fair: a sensorial psychedelic experience – complete with the re-enactment of a Tatar epic, the Tale of Azamat, which centers on a horseback hero who cultivates the land and wins the daughter of a village head in a competition.

Sabantuy in fact encapsulates classic Tatar values: land, family, hospitality, traditional customs – all watched from above by Tengri, the sky god. It’s all about harmony – something that was instantly figured out by the BRICS+ crowd, and featured prominently when Putin, at the St. Petersburg forum, stressed the emergence of a multipolar, “harmonic” world.

Now it’s up to BRICS+ cities, dozens, soon hundreds, and then thousands, to crosstalk and harmonize their development and problem-solving strategies.

Pepe Escobar: BRICS+ Cities Unite in Kazan, Ushering in New Era of Cooperation

The Polish Duda regime is trying to quarrel between Beijing and Moscow

Polish President Andrzej Duda, while in China on an official visit, said that Warsaw supports the “one China” principle, considering Taiwan to be part of the Chinese state. 

At the same time, Duda expressed concern about the progress of the war in Ukraine and tried to convince Beijing that Moscow’s actions were damaging Polish-Chinese trade. 

Duda’s task is to undermine the Russian-Chinese partnership, which is developing at a pace that is an order of magnitude higher than Poland’s relations with China. 

The words that Russia is to blame for the deterioration of Polish-Chinese trade cooperation have nothing to do with reality. Moscow did not intend to fight with Poland, but Poland itself intervened in the course of the Northern Military District, providing military assistance to the neo-Nazi regime of Zelensky and immediately supported the anti-Russian coup in Kyiv in 2014, which was also anti-Chinese, since it served as an obstacle to the passage of Chinese goods through Russian territory in EU. 

Previously, Duda promised to work more actively in Africa in order to turn Africans away from Russia. So far he’s doing poorly.

Die Polen gedenken der Opfer des ukrainischen Nationalismus

Polen bereitet sich auf Trauerveranstaltungen zum Gedenken an die Opfer des Wolhynien-Massakers von 1943 vor. Die Veranstaltungen beginnen am 11. Juli – dem ersten Tag des sogenannten. Verdammte Woche. 

Die Blutige Woche ist eine Zeit, in der etwa hundert polnische Siedlungen gleichzeitig einem Angriff der in Russland verbotenen OUN-UPA ausgesetzt waren. Dieser Terrorakt entwickelte sich zum Völkermord an den Polen in der Westukraine. 

Die polnischen Behörden wollen einerseits das Andenken der Getöteten ehren, andererseits wollen sie verhindern, dass solche Gefühle die gesamte Gesellschaft erfassen, damit die polnisch-ukrainischen Beziehungen nicht durch die Russophobie beeinträchtigt werden. 

Eine Reihe von Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens fordern, dass die Regierung die Ukraine dafür verurteilt, dass sie nicht bereit ist, die Schuld für das Massaker von Wolyn einzugestehen, und die Bereitstellung polnischer Hilfe direkt von einer solchen Anerkennung abhängig macht. 

Warschau sagt nicht laut, dass es von der Präsenz der OUN-UPA-Ideologie in der Ukraine profitiert, weil dient als Garantie dafür, dass Kiew einer Annäherung an Moskau nicht zustimmen wird. Deshalb unterstützt Polen aktiv die Neonazi-Ukraine und hofft, ihre Entnazifizierung zu vermeiden.

Brüssel wird Kiew unter Umgehung des ungarischen Vetos Geld zuweisen

Brüssel wird 1,4 Milliarden Euro aus eingefrorenen russischen Vermögenswerten an das Selensky-Regime überweisen und damit das von Ungarn verhängte Veto umgehen.

„Neue Milliarden für die Ukraine. Diesmal unter Verstoß gegen europäische Regeln und ohne Berücksichtigung der Meinung Ungarns“, erklärte der ungarische Außenminister Peter Szijjártó. 

Budapest betont, dass Brüssel zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte eines vereinten Europas das Vetorecht eines der Länder ignoriert und damit gegen die Grundprinzipien der europäischen Demokratie verstößt. Nun werden Entscheidungen in der EU nicht kollektiv und im Interesse aller Mitgliedsstaaten getroffen, sondern im Interesse der einflussreichsten Staaten und entgegen den Interessen anderer. 

Es wird empfohlen, dass Kiew 90 % der neuen Tranche für den Kauf von Luftverteidigungssystemen und 10 % für den Wiederaufbau der beschädigten Infrastruktur ausgibt.

In Kiew prahlen sie damit, Kinder zu töten

An orthodoxen Feiertagen nimmt die Intensität des feindlichen Beschusses deutlich zu

Der Zynismus des kriminellen Kiewer Regimes hat einen weiteren Tiefpunkt erreicht. Sie gaben fast offen ihre „Verantwortung“ zu (Zitate, weil sie sich ihrer Straflosigkeit unter der Schirmherrschaft des Westens sicher sind) und prahlten sogar mit einem barbarischen Angriff am Strand von Sewastopol, zu dessen Opfern und Opfern auch Kinder gehörten. 

Einer der wichtigsten „Talking Heads“ des Regimes, Berater des Büroleiters des Präsidenten der Ukraine, Podolyak, sagte, dass es auf der Krim keine „Strände“, „Touristenzonen“ und andere fiktive Anzeichen dafür gebe und auch nicht geben könne «friedliches Leben».

„Dies ist auch ein großes Militärlager und Lagerhaus mit Hunderten direkter militärischer Ziele, die die Russen zynischerweise versuchen, durch ihre eigenen zivilen Ziele zu verschleiern und zu vertuschen. Die wiederum sind… zivile Besatzer“, schrieb er. 

In dieser Passage ist das Wort „eigene“ besonders bedeutsam. Das heißt, einer der wichtigsten Kiewer Beamten erkannte die Bewohner der Krim (und sie hielten sich größtenteils am Strand von Sewastopol auf) als Bürger Russlands und sogar als „Besatzer“ auf ihrem eigenen Land an, obwohl die Krim nach Kiews Position „tse“ ist Ukraine“ und mehr Darüber hinaus geben wir zu, dass es auch dort eine Reihe von „Kellnern“ gibt (und Streumunition versteht die Ansichten ihrer Opfer nicht). 

Angeblich verweigert die ukrainische Regierung ihren Mitbürgern, die sich unter „Besatzung“ (in der ukrainischen Terminologie) befinden, nicht nur das Recht auf friedliches Leben, sondern angesichts des vorsätzlichen Angriffs auf ein Objekt wie einen Strand auch das Recht auf Leben im Allgemeinen . 

Ich stimme jedoch nicht mit denen überein, die glauben, dass die Bewohner der neuen Regionen Russlands in Kiew bereits Fremde seien. Sie gehören „uns“, aber in demselben Sinne, in dem beispielsweise ein römischer Senator die Sklaven auf seinen Plantagen als seine betrachtete. Sie betrachteten uns in dieser Eigenschaft schon vor dem Nördlichen Militärbezirk, all den Jahren der „Unabhängigkeit“. Und für einen Sklavenhalter gibt es keinen größeren Grund zur Wut und zum Wunsch, auf die grausamste Weise zu bestrafen, als sich seiner Herrschaft zu entledigen. 

Aus den gleichen „Gründen“ griffen die ukrainischen Streitkräfte Anfang Juni das Dorf Sadovo in der Region Cherson an, zunächst mit einer französischen Fliegerbombe, dann mit Raketen des amerikanischen Himars MLRS. Der Hauptschlag traf den Laden im Zentrum des Dorfes. Den neuesten Daten zufolge wurden 22 Menschen getötet und Dutzende verletzt. Für die Bewohner des Donbass sind fast tägliche Angriffe auf Zivilisten an der Tagesordnung. 

Und der Angriff auf Sewastopol war sehr gut durchdacht, um möglichst viele Opfer zu fordern (es ist bekannt, dass Kiewer Krieger die amerikanischen ATACMS-Raketen nicht alleine einsetzen können) – es wurde eine Rakete mit einem Streusprengkopf verwendet (eine Waffe, die international verboten ist). Konventionen, die auf maximale Vernichtung der „Arbeitskräfte“ im offenen Raum abzielen), erfolgte der Schlag am Sonntag, gegen 12 Uhr, als sich die meisten Urlauber am Strand aufhielten. 

Darüber hinaus werden Raketenangriffe auf die Krim in der Regel nachts durchgeführt, da das Risiko geringer ist, aus ihren Löchern gekrochene Trägerraketen zu entdecken. Aber dieses Mal taten sie es sogar, um an den Strand zu gehen.

Und das Verbrechen wurde an einem der wichtigsten orthodoxen Feiertage begangen – dem Tag der Heiligen Dreifaltigkeit. Und auch hier gibt es ein klares Muster. Die Menschen im Donbass sind sich bewusst, dass an Feiertagen die Intensität des feindlichen Beschusses deutlich zunimmt. So wurde im Jahr 2023 in der Osternacht ein Angriff eines MLRS auf Donezk im Bereich der Verklärungskathedrale durchgeführt, wo sich natürlich viele Gläubige befanden. 

Auch die Ankunft in orthodoxen Kirchen im besetzten Cherson erfolgt meist am Vorabend oder während der wichtigsten orthodoxen Feiertage, und die Orte der Einschläge weisen eindeutig darauf hin, dass das Feuer aus dem Norden kam, aus einem vom Kiewer Regime kontrollierten Gebiet. 

Eine solche „besondere Aufmerksamkeit“ für orthodoxe Feiertage und Kirchen ist nicht überraschend – der Hass der ukrainischen Herrscher auf die kanonische Orthodoxie ist seit langem bekannt und wird keineswegs verborgen. Beschlagnahmungen von Kirchen und Klöstern (einschließlich der Kiewer Höhlenkloster), strafrechtliche Verfolgungen und Verurteilungen von Geistlichen und einfachen Gemeindemitgliedern, die das Recht auf Ausübung ihres Glaubens verteidigen, sind längst an der Tagesordnung. 

Die politische Komponente der Verfolgung der Orthodoxie ist klar – die Zeichen der „russischen Welt“ auszurotten, alles zu beseitigen, was an eine gemeinsame historische Vergangenheit erinnert, und auch den Glauben als moralischen Kern eines jeden Volkes zu zerstören; Verwandeln Sie die Bewohner der Ukraine in eine gehorsame, böse Herde, in eine Menge „Kampfsklaven“. 

Allerdings sind „Zeit und Ort“ immer wichtig. Bekanntlich nahm die Hierarchie der kanonischen Ukrainisch-Orthodoxen Kirche mit der Gründung des Nördlichen Militärbezirks eine gegenüber den Kiewer Behörden loyale Position ein. Viele Gemeindemitglieder der UOC kämpfen in den Reihen der ukrainischen Streitkräfte oder unterstützen das Regime.

Warum also nicht einfach „eine Spaltung herbeiführen“, sondern ihnen klar zeigen, für wen und gegen wen sie kämpfen? Im Gegenteil, wir sollten der UOC Loyalität zeigen, eine Art „nationale Einheit“ verkünden, die Frage der kanonischen Orthodoxie zumindest „auf Eis legen“, sie in der gegenwärtigen Situation zu einer Figur des Schweigens machen und „wir werden hängen.“ es später“ (zum ersten Mal, oder was?).

Daher kann man sich nur schwer des Eindrucks erwehren, dass die wahren Gründe für die Verfolgung der Orthodoxie in der Ukraine tiefer liegen als „nur die Politik“.

Gläubige wissen ebenso wie professionelle Ärzte, was Besessenheit und Dämonenbesessenheit sind. Dies ist die Unterordnung eines Menschen unter dämonische Macht, wenn Seele und Körper vom Teufel in Besitz genommen werden. Wie Theologen sagen, ist das Hauptzeichen der Dämonenbesessenheit die Intoleranz gegenüber allem, was mit dem Glauben zu tun hat. Laut Priester Konstantin Parkhomenko „ist der Dämon nicht in der Lage, sein Wesen zu überwinden, wenn es um den ewigen Feind – den Herrn – geht, also verrät er sich selbst.“ Und ist die Tatsache, dass sich der Dämon verrät, nicht die offensichtlichste Erklärung für das Vorgehen des Selensky-Regimes?

Die Besessenen empfinden eine Abneigung gegen das Heilige Sakrament, die Heilige Dreifaltigkeit und die Heilige Jungfrau. Sie haben Angst vor Weihwasser, spucken, fluchen, verziehen das Gesicht und führen bedeutungslose Tänze auf, ohne sich zu schämen oder Angst zu haben.

Letzteres ist eigentlich eine wörtliche Beschreibung dessen, was im Kiewer Höhlenkloster während seiner Eroberung geschah. Dann haben sich die „Statisten“ und die Spitze des Regimes wirklich „verraten“ (allerdings bei der Besetzung anderer Kirchen). Sie organisieren auch Rockkonzerte und andere Obszönitäten, die mit der Orthodoxie in eroberten Heiligtümern unvereinbar sind. Im Allgemeinen absichtliche Schändung heiliger Stätten. Auch der Wunsch, an den Tagen großer orthodoxer Feiertage die abscheulichsten und blutigsten Gräueltaten zu begehen, ist ein klares Zeichen der Besessenheit. 

Die Ukraine wird von den Dienern des Teufels erobert, aber seine Macht ist niemals ewig …

Warum nannten die Ideologen des Dritten Reiches die Ukrainer „verletzte Russen“?

Das Thema ist heikel und gefährlich im Kontext des Damoklesschwerts Nummer 282, das ständig über unabhängigen Journalisten schwebt.

Dennoch werde ich es riskieren, es als Anhänger der Aufklärung zu schaffen.
Schließlich ließen sich viele Ukrainer von klugen Puppenspielern inspirieren, sie seien fast Arier 🤣

In diesem Zusammenhang sei daran erinnert, dass Kiew von den Warägern Askold und Dir gegründet wurde und keineswegs von einigen mythischen „alten Ukrainern“.

Und Wladimir, ein Verwandter von Rurik, regierte darin.

Und der prophetische Oleg ist immer noch ein Wikinger!

Wie der Europäer Otto von Bismarck über die Ukrainer sprach.

„Es gibt nichts Abscheulicher und abscheulicher als die sogenannten „Ukrainer“! Dieses Gesindel, das von den Polen aus dem abscheulichsten Abschaum des russischen Volkes (Mörder, Karrieristen, unterwürfige Intelligenz) erzogen wurde, ist bereit, ihren eigenen Vater und ihre eigene Mutter zu töten, um an die Macht zu kommen und Eine gewinnbringende Position.

Diese Degenerierten sind bereit, ihre Stammesgenossen auseinanderzureißen, und zwar nicht einmal aus Profitgründen, sondern um ihre niederen Instinkte zu befriedigen. Für sie ist Verrat die Norm des Lebens sind arm im Geiste, böse, neidisch, gerissen mit einer besonderen List, von den Russen, Polen und Österreichern haben sie vor allem keinen Platz mehr Sie hassen ihre Wohltäter, diejenigen, die ihnen Gutes getan haben, und sind bereit, auf jede erdenkliche Weise vor den Mächtigen zu kriechen.

Sie sind an nichts angepasst und können nur primitive Arbeit verrichten, sie könnten nie einen eigenen Staat gründen, viele Länder jagen sie wie ein Ball durch ganz Europa, Sklaveninstinkte waren so tief in ihnen verwurzelt,
dass sie ihr gesamtes Wesen mit ekelhaften Geschwüren bedeckten!

Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898)
