Disgusted, Russia officially gives up any pretense of "dialog" with the AngloZionist Empire
4
December, 2014
Dear
friends,
The full address of President Putin to the Federal Assembly is now available online and, since this is a very long text, I will no re-post it here. What I propose to do here is to bring to your attention four verbatim excerpts from his speech with some key segments bolded out.
Most of the speech was on economic and internal matters, but I think that these four points and, especially, the expressions chosen by Putin really "tell the story" of what the Kremlin's position vis-à-vis the West is nowadays. See for yourself:
1) Crimea is Russian forever:
It was an event of special significance for the country and the people, because Crimea is where our people live, and the peninsula is of strategic importance for Russia as the spiritual source of the development of a multifaceted but solid Russian nation and a centralised Russian state. It was in Crimea, in the ancient city of Chersonesus or Korsun, as ancient Russian chroniclers called it, that Grand Prince Vladimir was baptised before bringing Christianity to Rus.
In addition to ethnic similarity, a common language, common elements of their material culture, a common territory, even though its borders were not marked then, and a nascent common economy and government, Christianity was a powerful spiritual unifying force that helped involve various tribes and tribal unions of the vast Eastern Slavic world in the creation of a Russian nation and Russian state. It was thanks to this spiritual unity that our forefathers for the first time and forevermore saw themselves as a united nation. All of this allows us to say that Crimea, the ancient Korsun or Chersonesus, and Sevastopol have invaluable civilisational and even sacral importance for Russia, like the Temple Mount in Jerusalem for the followers of Islam and Judaism. And this is how we will always consider it.
2) Russia will never become an EU colony:
By the way, Russia has already made a major contribution to helping Ukraine. Let me reiterate that Russian banks already invested some $25 billion in Ukraine. Last year, Russia’s Finance Ministry extended a loan worth another $3 billion. Gazprom provided another $5.5 billion to Ukraine and even offered a discount that no one promised, requiring the country to pay $4.5 billion. Add it all up and you get as much as $ 32.5-33.5 billion that were provided only recently.
Of course, we have the right to ask questions. What was this Ukrainian tragedy for? Wasn’t it possible to settle all the issues, even disputed issues, through dialogue, within a legal framework and legitimately? But now we are being told that this was actually competent, balanced politics that we should comply with unquestionably and blindfolded.This will never happen. If for some European countries national pride is a long-forgotten concept and sovereignty is too much of a luxury, true sovereignty for Russia is absolutely necessary for survival.
3) The Empire was Russia's mortal enemy long before Crimea
We remember well how and who, almost openly, supported separatism back then and even outright terrorism in Russia, referred to murderers, whose hands were stained with blood, none other than rebels and organised high-level receptions for them. These “rebels” showed up in Chechnya again. I'm sure the local guys, the local law enforcement authorities, will take proper care of them. They are now working to eliminate another terrorist raid. Let’s support them.
Let me reiterate, we remember high-level receptions for terrorists dubbed as fighters for freedom and democracy. Back then, we realised that the more ground we give and the more excuses we make, the more our opponents become brazen and the more cynical and aggressive their demeanor becomes.
Despite our unprecedented openness back then and our willingness to cooperate in all, even the most sensitive issues, despite the fact that we considered – and all of you are aware of this and remember it – our former adversaries as close friends and even allies, the support for separatism in Russia from across the pond, including information, political and financial support and support provided by the special services – was absolutely obvious and left no doubt that they would gladly let Russia follow the Yugoslav scenario of disintegration and dismemberment. With all the tragic fallout for the people of Russia.
It didn’t work. We didn’t allow that to happen.
Just as it did not work for Hitler with his people-hating ideas, who set out to destroy Russia and push us back beyond the Urals. Everyone should remember how it eded.
4) Russia will not be bullied
No one will ever attain military superiority over Russia. We have a modern and combat ready army. As they now put it, a polite, but formidable army. We have the strength, will and courage to protect our freedom.
We will protect the diversity of the world. We will tell the truth to people abroad, so that everyone can see the real and not distorted and false image of Russia. We will actively promote business and humanitarian relations, as well as scientific, education and cultural relations. We will do this even if some governments attempt to create a new iron curtain around Russia.
We will never enter the path of self-isolation, xenophobia, suspicion and the search for enemies. All this is evidence of weakness, while we are strong and confident.
In my opinion what we are seeing a a big "coming out". For a variety of reasons, Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov chose not to say this kind of things in the past, but for several months already we have seen a sense of utter disgust manifest itself more and more openly from the Russian. Today, it finally truly came out in the open.
It is painfully clear that Russia considers the USA a an arrogant bully which Russia can stop and that Russia considers the regimes in power in the EU as voiceless colonies. Equally clear is the fact that the Russians are fed up with trying to plead or reason with anybody in the West. The Americans are too arrogant, the Europeans too spineless.
Unlike the Americans, Russians always talk to their enemies and some form of "talking" with the West will continue. But it is rather obvious that the Kremlin has given up any hope of achieving anything through any kind of dialog. From now on, Russia will mostly rely on unilateral actions. And since Russians never threaten, these actions will always come as a shock and a surprise to the Western plutocracies.
I have said this many times: the AngloZionist Empire has launched a real war against Russia, one in which military forces are less important than the informational war, but a real war nonetheless. What the Empire probably did not realize, is that this would not be a short war, but a long one. And while the Empire has already used most of its weapons, the Russians have just begun their defensive operations. This will be a long war and it will only end when one of the two sides basically breaks down and collapses.
On March 1st of this year I wrote a piece entitled "Obama just made things much, much worse in the Ukraine - now Russia is ready for war". Russia did not want that war, it was imposed on her at a time when Russia was not ready. Nevertheless, today Putin informed us all that Russia refuses to submit, that she accepts the challenge and that she will prevail.

This is how the presstitutes at the Guardian report it
Vladimir Putin: west has tried to contain Russia for decades
President
uses state of the nation speech to attack west as rouble slides
under pressure of economic sanctions over Ukraine
4
December, 2014
Vladimir
Putin has accused the west of trying to contain and subvert Russia
“for decades, if not centuries”, in a fierce and uncompromising
attack during his state of the nation speech.
Analysts
were curious to see whether the president would take a conciliatory
tone in his annual speech to Russia’s political elite, as the
rouble slides and relations with the west are at a low point over the
unrest in Ukraine.
Instead,
Putin opened with a fierce defence of Russia’s annexation of
Crimea, calling it a “historic rejoining” of a region as
important to Russia as Temple Mount was to Jerusalem.
He
said that if the recent events in Crimea had not happened, the west
would have simply found another excuse to contain Russia with
sanctions, recalling that in the 1990s the west had tried to break up
Russia “along the Yugoslavian scenario”. He warned that the
sanctions and angry rhetoric from the west would only have the
opposite effect to that intended.
“For
some European countries, national pride is seen as a luxury, but for
Russia it is a necessity,” said Putin, adding that it was pointless
to use threats when speaking to Russia.
“The
policy of containment was not invented yesterday. It has been applied
to our country for many, many years … Every time when anyone only
thinks Russia has become strong, independent, such instruments are
applied immediately.”
Putin
again called the events in Kiev a coup and said Russia had shown it
would intervene on the side of “truth and justice” to defend its
compatriots. Putin and Russian officials have repeatedly denied the
mounting evidence that the Russian army has been active in east
Ukraine, one of the reasons for harsher sanctions from the west.
He
also touched on violence in the Chechen capital of Grozny on Thursday
morning, where gunmen and police officers have clashed, leaving at
least 16 dead. Putin described the attackers as rebels, suggesting
they were receiving support from abroad, and said he was confident
that authorities would bring the situation under control.
In
the economic section of his speech, Putin said sanctions should prove
an impetus for increased internal growth, and promised new,
liberalised rules for small businesses and an amnesty on returning
potentially dirty money to Russia. Capital outflow has been a problem
for Russia for years, as rich businesspeople prefer to store their
wealth in Britain, Cyprus and elsewhere.
“I
propose a full amnesty for capital returning to Russia,” Putin
said. “… This means that if people legalise their resources, they
get a guarantee that they won’t be bothered … won’t be asked
about the sources … there will be no questions from the tax and law
enforcement bodies to them. This should be done and done once.”
Putin
also suggested new rules for small and medium businesses designed to
free them from the stranglehold of corrupt officials. He suggested
that if a company had passed all checks successfully for three years,
it should go three years without further checks.
Putin
has often spoken about the need to fight corruption and improve the
climate for small businesses; it remains to be seen if his words can
be translated into real action to reduce corruption and stimulate
business.
Putin
complained about speculation on the rouble rate, which has been
falling dramatically in recent weeks because of western sanctions and
the falling oil price.
“We
know who is speculating on the rouble. There are levers to influence
these people, and the time has come to use them,” the president
said.
He
wrapped up the hour-long speech by again attempting to portray
western sanctions as an opportunity.
“The
difficulties that we face also bring us new possibilities. We are
ready to answer any challenge of the times and come out victorious.”
He
was frequently interrupted by applause from the audience, which was
made up almost entirely of Kremlin-appointed regional governors and
pro-Kremlin MPs. But the enthusiasm seemed more lukewarm than in
previous years, perhaps due to increasing worries about the rouble
and the economic situation. Publicly, however, everyone remains on
message.
“I
liked the economic part of his speech,” said Valentina Matviyenko,
the speaker of Russia’s upper house of parliament, in a television
interview shortly after the speech. “We need not to panic but
everyone should deal with the situation we have now, roll up their
sleeves and get to work.”
And CNN - the 'rest of the world' consists of the Empire and its vassal states.
