September 11 Statement Laid Out Openly and Plainly: The Meaning of
Novorossiya and the Minsk Protocol
Via
Facebook (via Vladimir Suchan)
The
essential meaning of Igor Strelkov’s statements made on September
11, 2014 in Moscow plain and simple
1.
Strelkov was removed from his position of the Commander in Chief of
the Donetsk People’s Republic by Moscow, but that does not mean
that directly by Putin.
2.
Moscow forced Strelkov to resign at a dangerous moment when “the
city of Donetsk and the entire grouping of the DPR armed forces were
in an operational encirclement.”
3.
No politically and militarily authority wishing well would do this to
the command of an army in such circumstances.
4.
The same forces that removed Strelkov from his post also let Kiev
dictate the political demands or conditions contained in the Minsk
Ceasefire Protocol of September 5.
5.
The Minsk Protocol was an attempt “to eliminate the People’s
Liberation Movement of the Russian people of Novorossiya.”
6.
In fact, Strelkov’s removal from Novorossiya by a fifth column
within the Russian government was part of the preparation and
necessary condition for the Minsk Protocol—capitulation and
surrender of Novorossiya in the guise of “ceasefire.”
7.
The Minsk Protocol was designed to a) reverse nearly all the gains of
the offensive of the Army of Novorossiya, b) effect barely concealed
capitulation and treason. In Strelkov’s words: “To the punitive
army that was on the precipice of total defeat they immediately
extended a ‘helping hand’ by arranging a ceasefire and
attempting, in the course of the negotiations, to surrender literally
all the gains made by those who rose up; placing them at the mercy of
the Kiev Junta. It is simply impossible to come up with more
disgraceful covenants that those currently being discussed in
Minsk.”The Minsk Protocol was disgraceful and treasonous.
8.
The forces that made Strelkov resign and that were also behind the
Minsk Protocol are described by Strelkov as follows: “The web of
numerous agents that for many years successfully masqueraded in the
sheep’s clothing of “patriots” and “statists”, and under
this guise infiltrated the highest echelons of power, and even the
entourage of the President of Russia … these traitors nevertheless
continue brazenly to assert that they are the President’s
“friends”, and to portray their frankly subversive activities and
sabotage as the only true measures to strengthen Russian
sovereignty.” Strelkov calls them “traitors.”
9.
This fifth column is led by oligarchs and by people who are part of
the Russian government: “[T]hey havie a strong presence in the
leadership and considerable financial resources …”
10.
Early “Russian military aid … could – almost without bloodshed
– lead to the liberation of all the Russian-speaking regions.”
But this was sabotaged by the very forces described in #9 and 10.
11.
The heaviest charge against hits fifth column and the identification
of their political center of gravity within the Russian government is
here: “While the punitive forces were burning people alive in
Odessa, bombarding Slavyansk with heavy artillery and urgently
forming a combat-capable army, their accomplices, who penetrated the
foreign policy leadership of Russia, not only sabotaged any and all
military and political assistance to the Militia, but also – in
complete understanding with Poroshenko, Turchinov, Akhmetov, Taruta,
and other representatives of the Ukrainian oligarchy – worked to
split the ranks of the Militia’s leadership; preventing the
creation of a unified command, and through joint efforts attempted to
lure the President of Russia into the traps laid by them.”
12.
Strelkov says: “Real help from Russia [then] finally reached its
addressee. The Militia commenced its offensive.” In other words,
aid did come and it came just in time for the offensive that started
in later August.
13.
The strategic plan of the US-pursued war on Russia and the role of
the fifth column within Russia’s political structures is as
follows: “Western countries … [and] Islamist militants controlled
by the United States … are preparing to fight Russia for a long
time and in earnest. The West and the Fifth Column make virtually no
secret of their plans to overthrow President Putin; and subsequently
to completely dismantle Russia. Their agents of influence use all
means at their disposal to convince the leadership of the country
that reconciliation is not only possible, but also singularly
necessary. The fact that nothing but Russia’s complete capitulation
will appease its enemies is being carefully concealed from the public
and, possibly, even from the President.”
14.
The task given to this fifth column, which exercises a good deal of
influence over Russian foreign policy is “the betrayal of the
Russian people of Novorossiya, followed by the laying of all
responsibility therefor on the President himself.”
15.
“The traitors hope eventually to bring the situation to the
conclusion of a most shameful and humiliating peace treaty,
accompanied by the betrayal of the Russian population of Ukraine …
[and then] to bring about a Moscow Maidan … [this] follows the
scheme of ‘shameful defeat – economic crisis – discrediting of
the authorities – popular uprisings – palace coup’ is once
again in action.”
16.
To preserve Novorossiya means to preserve Russia. To defend
Novorossiya is to defend Russia: “If we are able to secure a
victory there – we will preserve Russia. If we lose – we will
accordingly lose the remnants of our Fatherland. In this struggle
there can be no compromises, and he who tries to convince otherwise
is, consciously or not, grist to the mill of the enemy.”
17.
Vladimir Putin is and has been Strelkov’s Commander-in-Chief.
18.
The purge of the fifth column is the urgent task of the moment. The
situation demands it. Russia’s survival depends on it. So does the
survival of Novorossiya. The conflict is not an “internal”
Ukrainian conflict.
19.
“We must expose and remove from power those of Novorossiya’s
‘well-wishers’ that have brought us to the brink of military
defeat.”

Igor
Strelkov, the former commander of pro-Russian separatists in eastern
Ukraine, said Thursday he was relocating to Moscow to protect
President Vladimir Putin from enemies and traitors.
11
September, 2014
"The
West and the 'fifth column' are making no secret of their plans to
overthrow Putin. Their path is that of dragging out the war [in
Ukraine] as long as possible," Strelkov was cited by LifeNews as
saying at a news conference.
Strelkov,
a 43-year-old Muscovite also known by the surname Girkin, said he had
no plans to return to eastern Ukraine and would instead stay in
Moscow — the new battle front, according to him.
"I
support Putin and am against the 'fifth column.' Russian people need
to completely reject any opposition activity," Strelkov was
cited as saying in the report.
The
term "fifth column" has been used frequently in Russia
during the Ukraine crisis to describe Western leaders and the new
authorities in Kiev, who separatists like Strelkov have refused to
recognize as legitimate.
Strelkov
was thrust into the spotlight as a rebel leader in mid-May, quickly
taking control over many of the fighters in eastern Ukraine and
declaring himself defense minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk
People's Republic.
Strelkov
is a retired colonel in Russia's Federal Security Service, a
successor agency to the KGB. He also fought in the Bosnian war and
served as a war correspondent in Chechnya.
He
stepped down from his duties as military commander in Donetsk in
mid-August.
Pavel
Gubarev on the Minsk "Ceasefire" Protocol
Pavel
Gubarev on the Minsk "Ceasefire" Protocol: It is a
treasonous document. Treasonous both to Novorossyia and Russia. As
such, it has also been overwhelmingly rejected by public opinion. The
text and its arrangements are so bad that appears that its authors
were both Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs and their surrogates,
though Ukrainian oligarchs seemed to have the leading role.
Pavel
Gubarev hopes that Igor Strelkov will be returned to a leadership
position in Novorossiya.
By
saving Novorossiya Russia is saving herself
