On October 14, Putin in his role of self-assured manager in chief made also the following statement before leaving for Serbia and G-20, which ought to include a meeting with Poroshenko, the brave oligarch in chief to fight "the Russian aggression" in the interest of the Empire and Nazi comeback. Putin might not see Nazism when Nazism is staring right into his eyes from over 400 miles from Moscow, but, as Russian President, he knows what complete idiocy is when he comes face to face with it:
"You said that some [Ukrainian] official [in the junta-occupied Kramatorsk] declared that Kramatorsk is not Ukraine. He is a complete idiot. [This] man is not only failing to fulfill his obligations [as a Nazi or Poroshenko's official?], but he is also committing a treason against his own country, as if separating from it a part of its territory [are then the people and the army of Novorossiya all traitors to Ukraine and its Nazism?]. Who gave him the right [to say something like that]? That's a complete BS."
Putin made this presidential statement while discussing human rights at the Kremlin and in response to a remark from a female guest who said that one of the Ukrainian officials refused to provide assistance to the people of Kramatorsk, while arguing that the rebellious city is not part of the rest of Ukraine.
Putin's statement has been greeted with great acclamation by Ukrainian nationalists as a gift that has fallen from the sky into their lap from the mouth of the "evil dictator and tyrant" himself, while, in Russia, it has caused stormy discussions on and off the Internet alike.
If Putin had lived under Stalin and showed the same idea of idiocy or the presence of mind, he would have been shot. Probably also tried. For those who live by phrases and cliches, Putin's brilliance of a chessmaster, his diplomatic skills and the talent to speak the mind and lead and teach the true meaning of idiocy remain to be admired.
If this makes antifascists complete idiots as well, then I am fully and proudly one of them too.
«Вы сказали, что какой-то (украинский) чиновник заявил, что Краматорск это не Украина. Он полный идиот. Человек мало того что не исполняет своего долга, так ещё и совершает преступление против собственной страны, как бы отрезая от неё часть территории. Кто его уполномочил? Полная дурь», - заявил президент РФ Владимир Путин на встрече с Советом по развитию гражданского общества и правам человека в Москве. В ходе обсуждения участница встречи, работавшая на юго-востоке Украины, рассказала, что один из украинских чиновников отказался оказывать помощь жителям Краматорска Донецкой области, сославшись на то, что этот город не является частью страны.
I think that Putin was just
indignant--big bosses do hate smaller officials who mess up and are not doing
what they are supposedly being told to. In this, he failed to think things
through. As so often in this crisis, he failed to see and understand the deeper
political issue and became stuck with his first idea--the image of an
"inconsiderate" ostensible insubordination of a bureaucrat, whether a
fascist one or not. It says Ukraine, therefore, it must be
Ukraine--"unless I've signed a decree which says otherwise, which as far
as I know I have not done yet." To think and believe that leaders of today are sages is as good as believing in Santa Claus. Childhood does have its charms, but so does adulthood.
Speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament Alexander Turchinov signed the law on the particular order of certain regions in Donetsk and Lugansk (NO Novorossiya there). And, sure enough, Purgin, the DPR Vice-Premier, and other Moscow-appointees rushed in to praise Turchinov's signature and the junta's "law" in which they had no say whatsoever, but which is to regulate whatever is to be left of them. As Purgin declared, he hopes that, under this law, Kiev would give to the otherwise undefined "regions" more rights and local autonomy together with some funds. It is the junta's law, but one written by the US (after they brushed up their files on Krajina and Osijek), and the rest--the sycophants' praise worth of recaptured slaves, that's Putin's policy.
On October 14, after all the time and protracted deficit of leadership, Vladimir Putin tried to show at least "his human side" and "empathy" with respect to Novorossiya, the name of which he now avoids almost as much as the truth about the Minsk Deal and its consequences. This is what he said: "First, it is not possible to watch without tears what is happening there. Second, the greatest tragedy unfolding before our eyes is the estrangement between the Ukrainian and Russian nations. With all the problems it is necessary to seek a way to overcome this situation, but, I repeat once again, it is absolutely necessary to do this together with the Ukrainian authorities." The statements come at about 2:00 of the video:
In the same speech, Putin also gives a list of complains: the same "authorities" are silent when pro-Russian priests are persecuted and their churches seized by fascists; the same authorities did their best to block Russian humanitarian convoys to Donbass. But, for Putin and for Russia under his reign, to do something "unilateral"--without these "authorities"--is now treated as an anathema. The Pope--the US Empire--decried it so.
Putin made sure that he made no mention of Novorossiya or, at least, of the Donetsk or Lugansk People's Republics. Instead, Putin made it clear that, as far as he he is concerned, he is trying to "work together" with the oligarchic and Nazi regime in Kiev--but no, he would not call them in that way. For Putin, they are "the Ukrainian authorities"--with the apparent nod to their sovereignty of what the people of Novorossiya and most Russians do see as Novorossiya. But the Kremlin is now much on board with the US Empire on this and thus, unbeknownst to them, undercutting their own case with Crimea.
It is worth remembering that, like Lavrov, Putin too has a habit of calling the Syrian government, Russia's ally, "the Syrian regime" in accordance with the political and linguistic rules dictated by the West.
But when it comes to the junta in Kiev, they are "Ukrainian authorities" and hence carries of legitimacy, respectability, and deference. Yet, as nearly everyone knows, the same "authorities" are responsible for the Maidan killings, the Odessa Massacre, the attempted MH 17 false flag, the daily killings of about 20 civilians in the city of Donetsk, the mass graves discovered, the systemic tortures and executions of the Novorossiya soldiers, the mass disappearances of pro-Russian sympathizers and anti-fascists or just normal people, 1,000,000 refugees in Russia, the glorification of Nazism in Ukraine and Nazi war criminals, and the same "authorities" which call Putin a villain, an aggressor, a tyrant. and a criminal. The same "Ukrainian authorities" are also aggressively pro-NATO and also aggressively anti-Russian.
Instead of listening to the Russian people themselves, to the people of Novorosssiya whom Putin did not even have the guts to mention, and all the people of good will who don't support the anti-Russian policy and psychosis of the new "Ukrainian authorities," Putin insists on solving the problem of the estrangement with a regime which is anti-Russian by definition, by design and out of their deepest conviction. With the Nazis who are working hard to see Russia destroyed and/or in Hell.
But, as Putin said, he cannot look at the result--the result of these "authorities"'s war against the pro-Russian people of Ukraine--without tears. This means that Putin's assumed empathy is either faked or very superficial. For he wants to work, as if at any cost, with the murderous regime itself for resolving the "estrangement." Or is Novorossiya perhaps guilty of all it--together with all the mayhem, massacres and terror?
So Putin is either delusional or he is lying to others as much as to oneself. Even when one is to be diplomatic, one should not be raping facts,logic, or one's ethics, not to mention principles. In this case, on top of the estrangement of the Russians from those in Ukraine who see Russians as "colorado beetles" to be burned and killed, as they did in Odessa, who support Bandera's Nazi and UPA ideology (as Poroshenko also does), who hate Russia and the Russians, Putin is thereby estranging himself from the Russian people too. That's also perhaps while the faces of the present quests look like there are at someone's funeral. Putin is burying himself as a statesman and leader. And so when he says things likes this, then suddenly, instead of a great leader of a great country and nation, there is but a talking man sitting on a chair. A man who wants to smooth it up with the Nazi, anti-Russian regime which, like wolves, cannot but lust the more after Russian blood when they smell weakness and the victim's self-abnegation.
«Невозможно смотреть без слез на то, что там происходит, во-первых. И, во-вторых, на самую главную трагедию, которая разворачивается перед нашими глазами, — на отчуждение украинского и русского народов», — сказал В.Путин в ходе встречи с членами президентского Совета по правам человека. Он подчеркнул, что, «конечно, при всех имеющихся сегодня проблемах, нужно искать путь к тому, чтобы преодолеть это состояние».... Еще раз хочу подчеркнуть: будем стараться это делать не в одностороннем порядке, а совместно с украинскими властями», — сказал В.Путин."
On the same day, when Putin was declaring his firm reliance on the "Ukrainian authorities," the same "authorities" were busy--besides continuous killing of civilians in Donbass--with their Nazification campaign aimed at turning otherwise still perfectly pro-Russian Russians in Donbass into new Ukrop Nazis, as can be seen from this photo taken in Kramatorsk on October 14:
The Kiev regime--"Ukrainian authorities" for Putin--is teaching kids to love Nazism and Hitler, while Moscow is busy helping these same people to restore and reassert their "sovereignty" (under the US management) over "Donetsk and Lugansk regions." Meanwhile, as can be seen on the poster in the photo, the Nazis are telling themselves that "God and Ukraine are Uber Alles"--above everyone else, whom it is then OK and even necessary to kill or dispose of as a slave. On October 17, Putin will be shaking his hand with Poroshenko, if Poroshenko or the US allow it, and will most likely exchange Novorossiya for Russian gas, which the junta is not intending to pay for anyway. It is a deal.
On the same day, Putin also gave an interview to a Serbian newspaper. There Putin complained that "Europe is losing fight against Nazism" and further added:
"We are especially concerned in this respect about the situation in Ukraine, where an unconstitutional state coup in February was driven by nationalists and other radical groups. Today, our common goal is to counter the glorification of Nazism, firmly counter attempts to revise the results of World War II and consequently fight any forms and manifestations of racism, xenophobia, aggressive nationalism and chauvinism. Talking about the events of World War II, Putin said that "our nations together cracked down on the criminal ideology of hatred towards the humanity. Today it is important that people in different countries and continents understand what horrible ramifications can be brought about by confidence in one's being exceptional, by attempts to achieve doubtful geopolitical aims as well as by neglect of basic human rights and morality. We must do everything to avoid such tragedies in the future."
Putin failed to add what he said earlier in Moscow (see above), namely that his idea of "doing everything to avoid such tragedies" requires working and cooperating with the same Nazi and pro-fascist forces that are in power in Ukraine and that his own policy is committed to help these Nazi oligarchs keep and extend their "sovereignty" over those who actually fight and oppose such Nazism--the people and the army of Novorossiya. It looks that Putin is trying to call the reflection in the mirror "Europe" and urges it to be at last serious and principled about fighting Nazism in Ukraine. For some, this still counts as leadership.
Ukrainian most-out-of-closet Nazis organized a 20,000 demonstration and protests ton October 14 in Kiev. They demand ending the "farce" of democracy and the "monstrosity" of liberalism in order to establish a full Nazi military dictatorship. As Iryna Farion explained this requires replacing "elections" with executions of Moskals. Nazism as the ultimate ratio of "efficiency" demands a radical simplification of things and "facts" of life. Ukrainian Zombistan has reached a point of a dead spirit, which, like the shadows in Homer's Odyssey, are now lusting and craving after more blood, which they feel to be unjustly deprived of.
If, for the sake of a hypothesis, one was to grant that a devil was real or, as a minimum, that the powers that be do have a Satanic mindset, then, given the Soviet and Russian victory over Nazism in World War II, what would these sociopathic minds consider to be the most awful and most humiliating revenge against the Russian people? Once you ask this question, you might start seeing in the darkness the emerging outlines of the devilish master plan ... and that's where Bulgakov's farce of the Master and Margarita, in which Bulgakov treated Satan as the hero who makes things and people happen (or not happen), is ceasing to be a farce and becomes a policy and the Empire's strategy with Putin wondering about the right discount and price of gas for the Nazi regime in Kiev and Medvedev arguing that the best strategy is to trust the government and make more money out it.
As Colonel Cassad (Boris Rozhin) stated on October 13 on his blog, the so-called "Putin's Clever Plan" might well belong to the category of "Yanukovich's Clever Plan," on which Yanukovich's apologists and believers swore till February 23.
At this moment, unless a new factor or surprise happens, the least complicated and hence likely explanation, confirmed by my source who is both a pragmatist-realist and a very intuitive person, is that, after Crimea, the US and Russian oligarchs placed Putin in front of a stark threat-cum-bluff-cum-choice: either a hot World War III, a war with NATO, and/or a nearly complete blockade or a "deal" on Ukraine for the sake of "partnership": supporting the "legitimacy" of Poroshenko (and the junta) and preparing an orchestrated phasing-out of Novorossiya (with an internal crisis, which we are now seeing). Putin as a pragmatist and a man with no sympathies for any anti-oligarchic, socialist revolution not that far from Russia might have concluded that the offer looked reasonable--as presented under big pressure behind the well closed doors. The deal does or would, however, spell Putin's own political death. If there was such a deal, then, very likely, it was struck by early April--before the Geneva "agreements," that is, not just before April 24 when a decision about cancelling the idea of moving Russian troops in to protect the people of Donbass.
The original plan was torpedoed by Strelkov who, one minute after twelve, managed to get out of the destruction prepared for his forces in Slavyansk. The alternative plan could not longer rely on the original crew placed in Donetsk. It was assumed that the brief--the briefest possible offensive and "victory" of Novorossiya--could present the Minsk Deal not as a defeat and political death--but as an achievement, i.e., as an "achievement of recognition," which it never was. If one looked at the short history of the August offensive then it appears that the powers that be rushed in to put a stop to it when the first major city--Mariupol--was just about to be liberated by the NAF.
Since the deal stinks also appears to be the best and simplest explanation for Putin's silence on the most important political crisis and current issue of his presidency.
In the next few days, Putin and Poroshenko are to meet in Milan. There are credible reports that, on that occasion, a bunch of documents is being prepared for implementing the Minsk deal, which is to cement the idea of a united, sovereign Ukraine, which, on several occasions, Lavrov himself affirmed rather explicitly and Putin in a more guarded, round-about way. The term "Minsk deal" is more like the part of a process that is currently sticking out from the depth of politics cooked up far away from the eyes of the public. That is to say, as I said before, there are numerous signs that indicate a presence or fact of a deal made soon after March 17, which seems to have a character of the "agreement" which Yanukovich made with the pro-Nazi ("pro-EU") oligarchs--the proxies of the US and NATO.
Kiev and the West now seem to be dictating to Moscow the latter's consent to resume gas supplies to Ukraine and the terms of this "trade," for which Kiev refuses to make any payments except for a "promise" to pay a part of the price sometime around March. They demand gas now and, as far as their "obligations" or "promises" are concerned (as in the case of the agreement with Yanukovich or similar US and NATO assurances from before) "after the fact." In this connection, the Russian government is led mainly and chiefly by laudable "humanitarian" goals, which don't interfere with the fact that, under the Minsk "truce" and now "quiet time," around 20 civilians are being killed daily only in the city of Donetsk from Ukrainian shelling.
In other words, so far--unless something new happened, which would change the trend, the terms of the deal appear to be dictated to Moscow. Among these terms one can also include Lavrov saying that the Minsk process has been "overall positive" and Putin (at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Bishkek in September) claiming that the Minsk Deal is honored and that is making the Donbass people safer.
Meanwhile, 95-98% of the Army of Novorossiya and most people of Novorossiya, which Zakharchenko and Plotnisky decided (or were decided) not to know as such any more, have two words for the farce of the scheduled "elections" decided upon in the context of the Minsk Deal by Moscow and the managers of the chaos: "Fuck you." (you can see that on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi4Y8w4yqGk)
El Murid wonders: "It is hard to say what they think in Moscow when, they are actively supporting the Nazi regime under their loins. The future is set--only one will remain. Either the Nazis or us. Kiev understands this and obviously even better than in Moscow."
"Трудно сказать, на что рассчитывают в Москве, активно поддерживая существование нацистского режима под боком. Будущее определено - должен остаться только один. Либо нацисты, либо мы. В Киеве это понимают, похоже, куда как лучше, чем в Москве."
In this connection, one may also recall Evgeny Primakov (the actual tank of a brain behind Putin) and his TV interview from the end of June this year, in which Primakov tried to argue that the whole crisis or would-be war in Donbass was rather "exaggerated" and hyped by the Russian media, that the stakes or things are not that bad, that making up with the regime in Kiev is only logical and natural because Russia is not that strong and because, first and foremost, it depends technologically on the West.
Primakov was making the statement just at a time when the junta was already completing encirclement of Strelkov's men in Slavyansk, while Boroday, Khodakovsky, Russian oligarchs, Kiev's Western advisers and others were just waiting for the final, not so-graceful coup against the heroes of Slavyansk who were to be sacrificed on the altar of the New World order.
Listening to Primakov, one would have almost convinced oneself that all that Stalin needed to do in 1940 or 1941 or before winning the battle of Stalingrad was to rechristen the Nazis as "partners" and to sell them what they needed to or asked for--just as Putin and Medvedev were recorded saying at the session of the Russian government when discussing their yet another best offer on gas to the regime in Kiev. So while Russia was being put under sanctions, the Russian government was still in the process of finding out how far the "deal" and the assumed "partnership" goes--with Medvedev chiming in that, despite of the fascist obstinacy, Moscow's proposed big discounts to Kiev "partners" were already putting Gazprom financially in a difficult situation. The title of the video is not bad either: "Putin is astonished that Ukraine refuses to buy gas with a $100 discount":
Systemic threats indeed require systemic countermeasures. But Western oligarchs have not been playing their game as of yesterday. They started to master again the art of the abyss and chaos. The Russian oligarchy is a new kid on the bloc, but one who is already asked to sell. And to sell even very low.
However, one has to remember that the Empire (and oligarchy) was already able to make the Russian communists to sell--both themselves and everyone else under their control. Is Lavrov bigger a man than Gromyko was? Are the Russian leaders now stronger and more principled or ethical than the Soviet leadership in the 1980s?
So what is the core meaning of Novorosssiya, its revolution and its struggle? Some of the best formulations are from Alexey Mozgovoy, the commander of the Prizrak battalion: Justice, Conscience, Freedom (Spravdlivost, Sovest, Svoboda). Honor. The common good.
All these ideas are tied to and grounded in the idea of the command good.
That's why the historically new institution of the Soviet revolution and system was also grounded in the Soviets--councils of the common people. As long as they were the institutes of the common good whose conscience ("knowing together" and shared thinking of the common good) was effective and alive, the system too was alive and doing what it was supposed to. That's also why whenever I hear the word "sovet," the Slavic word for "conscience" (sovest) also comes immediately to my mind. And the radical "sa-" in Slavic languages was analogous to the Greek "eu-." It means "good" and "whole." What is good is what knows and serves the common good. Only the truth--and the good--can set man free.
Aleksey Mozgovoy: "People coming to join the militia are of a higher class today. The people that are coming are first and foremost a people led by a firm idea. For us, the greatest problem today is to unshackle personality from the depths of men and women and to extinguish in them the slave. That's the main thing. Today, people that are coming to us are namely those who are ready to do just that. Such people are coming to us every day. These people are inspired by the idea of justice associated with the promise of Novorossiya. That's the idea. This is also the idea of Russian Mir's rebirth. This is the point. This is also the starting point, the beginning which we have reached and established. .... This is also the uniting idea. So far, for all these years, we have been divided, and political parties worked on dividing us because they have been dividing us from our own self. As a result, we have bee losing faith in ourselves too. No existing party has a power to unify. Existing political parties offer only consumerist values--values which are consuming our own selves. But there was and is no spirit in them. Only spirit can truly unite us again--spirit which will establish personality where has been a slave."
Here is both the political and philosophical program of Novorossiya expressed in a nutshell.
Who would have thought that, at the center of
Western ethos, there is a Gorgon, a
Medusa, and her stare or (“devilishly”) blinking look (depending on at which
level one is caught) and that this woman’s head might be lacking a body which
the headless masses are bringing to her?
If not the foundation of Western
civilization, then at least one of its pillars is
killing a woman because she was
either too ugly/too beautiful or too dangerous or too powerful or because she just knew too
much.
Thomas Louis, Perseus Slaying Medusa
Other cultures and peoples had certainly their
share of beheadings, involving humans regardless of sex or gender. However, it
takes a certain spirit to build a woman’s murder and beheading into a
foundational cultural myth lying at the base of the whole civilization.
Other cultures and civilizations kept women as Gods and among Gods--unless they turned "mono-" with the
message: "OK, you messed up and brought evil to
us, so would you now step aside? And can we do it without the word 'please'? Old men can take it from here."
It does take a certain spirit first to remove the
divine from nature and oppose it to nature and then remove the feminine from
the Godhead as well in order to build the image of God in the image of and to
the likeness of an old man whose love of life is either very suspect or is so
strong that only everlasting fires of Hell can balance it.
Materialism was an attempt to
"solve" this problem by positing the collective womanhood as a
substance wiped off any quality and content. Then, beginning with Nietzsche,
Freud and Jung, they discovered that this matter is neither dead nor empty, but
very dark and apparently very evil and therefore very interesting and
attractive, especially if new male priests like them can make something out of
it again--like fascism or a "new improved" Jesus by uniting him with
the denied fourth (the devil). A big portion of Bulgakov's inside joke was that
communist materialists had no clue about the "matter," the spirit
hiding in its abyss. So that's part of the reasons why Dugin follows Nietzsche
and Heidegger.
The Medusa myth does also tell us what was required
before Medusa earned her beheading. First she needed to be turned from a beauty
into an ugly horror as a “punishment” for being raped by Poseidon. There are beliefs that ennoble the human
spirit and then there are beliefs that uglify it and make them headless.
Deception is a form of beheading. If you want to understand what the Western
civilization or capitalism is, start looking for the missing head. For the
foundational deception, decapitation, capture.
To know the truth not only requires that one grows one’s head or soul
again, but that one also have the courage to see the terrible for what it is.
ISIS is happily posting with a head severed from a Kurdish female fighter near Kobani, Syria. ISIS is a child of al Qaeda, the bastard of Western secret services and special forces. As we see, ISIS is acting out an old Western pagan story. The monster is the one with the finger up.
