Rumors that Putin's successor is xxxish has community worried

By Anshel Pfeffer, Haaretz Correspondent

Tags: Dmitri Medvedev

MOSCOW - The xxxish community of Russia is worried over a rumor campaign by nationalist parties claiming that Dmitri Medvedev, President Vladimir Putin's handpicked successor, is xxxish.

Russian xxxish leaders declined to comment on the rumors officially, fearing to lend them credibility. Off the record, however, one said: "I pray it isn't true, because it would only make trouble, for him and for us."

Medvedev, who recently told a Russian weekly that he was baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church at age 23, has not commented on these rumors. But Russian Internet sites are full of reports about his alleged xxxish roots.

The rumors are based in part on the fact that his maternal grandfather's first name was Veniamin - similar to the Hebrew Binyamin (Benjamin) - while his family name, Shaposhnikov, is sometimes a xxxish name. But beyond that, accusing an electoral rival of being xxxish is a tactic that nationalist parties have employed in the past, both in Russia and in other former communist countries.

Nikolai Bondarik, who heads the St. Petersburg branch of the nationalist Russian Party, told the Moscow Times on Wednesday "we are categorically against him [Medvedev] because he is an ethnic xxx and does not conceal his sympathies toward Judaism." He also charged that with Medvedev in power, foreigners and xxxs would plunder Russia's natural resources; "tens of thousands" of Israelis would be given key positions in bodies such as "the police, army, and secret services"; and Russia's relations with the Arab world would be destroyed.

The Russian Party, which is considered anti-Semitic, is not running in the March 2 presidential election. Due to both Putin's backing and the disqualification of several opposition candidates, Medvedev's victory in the balloting is virtually certain.

Medvedev visited the xxxish Community center in Moscow during the Hanukkah holiday in December, just three days before Putin anointed him as his preferred successor. Thus all the television reports of the new heir presumptive included shots of him surrounded by leaders of the xxxish community, with Hanukkah candles and a Torah in the background.

xxxish community leaders said that Medvedev's visit and the good will he radiated during it encouraged them to hope that his presidency will be good for the community. "Medvedev will be wonderful for the xxxs," just as Putin was, declared Israeli-Russian businessman Lev Leviev, who heads the Federation of xxxish Communities of Russia.

Yet off the record, several said they feared this good will could create a backlash that would strengthen anti-Semitic currents in Russia.

Asked about Medvedev's alleged Judaism, they declined comment, beyond noting that he identifies himself as a Russian Orthodox Christian.

"The irony," said one, "is that we're doing everything possible to bring xxxs back to Judaism, but in this particular case, with the next president, it would be better for the xxxish community if he did not identity himself as xxxish, so as not to draw fire."

What do you all make of this, especially Angessa?

What "nationalist parties," the idiotic skinheads? I would not take such rumors very seriously. However, there is a good chance that he may have a Jew or two in his background, it seems as if all Europeans do. Regardless, as long as Medvedev sincerely identifies himself as a Russian Orthodox and he is expresses a sincere willingness to go along with the political program set for him, it does not matter what ethnicity he is. If he was picked by Putin, he is fine as far as I'm concerned.

If he does, it is most likely a great grand parent. Plus I do not think Putin would pick a zionist as his successor, especially since he spent a lot of time getting rid of the zionist oligrachs during his first term. Anyways, like you said, if he is sincere about his faith and more importantly his devotion to Russia, that is what matters. I guess only time will tell.

U.S. can attack Russia in 2012-2015 - Russian military analyst

After 2012-2015, the U.S. will be able to annihilate Russian strategic nuclear forces by a non-nuclear preemptive strike, said Konstantin Sivkov, the first vice president of the Russian Academy of Geopolitical Problems. "I declare that the likelihood of a military threat is great as never before now," Sivkov told Interfax on Saturday. Western military experts have recently started to talk about the possibility of attacking Russia and annexing its territory, Sivkov said. "Russia is supposed to be dismembered into three parts, with the Western part going to the European Union, the central part and Siberia to the U.S., and the eastern to China. This is a rough scenario," he said. Russian armed forces will be unable to successfully counter an aggression, Sivkov said. "At the present time, the conventional armed forces cannot properly perform their duties in a regional war, like the Great Patriotic War, even in theory. Even if fully deployed, their potential is limited even in local wars. The only factor that deters [the U.S.] now is the nuclear arsenal," he said.

Re: The Rise of the Russian Empire: Russo-Armenian Relations

I do not see the u.s. or its allies mounting such an offensive, especially that soon since the war in iraq will not be over for at least another 2-3 years, and the perpetual war for peace aka "war on terror" will be driving them to new locations. Also, Sivkov fails to mention how much money and man power it would take to even be able to take over and control Russian territory, it would make iraq look like a joke. And the fact that there would be an insurgency just like the one in iraq, spells disaster for any nation contemplating invading Russia.

I think the american/western option for Russia will be one of economic and regional containment, getting ukraine and georgia into nato, increasing their influence in central asia, etc. Another thing zibkov doesn't mention is the growing pace of reform in the Russian armed forces, which should continue under Medvedeev.

I think this analysis was put out to make Russian "saber rattling" more understandable to the west, and to act as another explanation of the rise in spending on the military.

Alarmist sense of urgency in order to motivate people.

Re: The Rise of the Russian Empire: Russo-Armenian Relations

Alarmist sense of urgency in order to motivate people.

True, Skhara. However, 'theoretically' and 'technologically' the US is currently capable to posing a serious military danger to the Russian Federation. The proposed anti-missile defense system, for example, is a very serious threat for the Russian Federation. The system can potentially, theoretically, null the nuclear deterrence factor that keeps the peace between superpowers. Theoretically, a first strike on Russian nuclear subs and land based missiles can knock out Russia's nuclear capability. And the anti-missile defense shields being set up around Russia can, theoretically, be able to shoot down any missile that survived the initial attack. Thus, the article should have instead stated - in 2012-2015 the US will/can theoretically/potentially have the capability to "annihilate Russian strategic nuclear forces by a non-nuclear preemptive strike." Whether or not the US is willing to attempt it is another story altogether. Obviously, the US is on no shape today, or for the foreseeable future, to attempt such a dangerous operation. Nevertheless, this does not mean that it will not use proxies and other means to pressure/undermine Russian interests. But, in final analysis, what you said is true, Moscow wants to scare the public into compliance. I also have a feeling that this may be used to ask for more funding for the Russian military.

And welcome back.

American Embassy Stormed in Serbia: Why are We Surprised?
By David Duke

No American, and I am no exception, can be happy to see an American embassy attacked and set on fire, the American flag ripped down and almost an entire nation hating the U.S. and the American people with every fiber of the their being.
But, looking at American history in Serbia, what exactly should we expect? Serbia has never been an enemy of the United States yet we have committed acts of war and terrorism against it. We have dispatched armies and invaded it, dropped bombs on civilian targets such as bridges, office buildings and power plants, and we have dictated what Serbia does within its own nation.
The present realities of Serbia and of Kosovo are the process of a long historical conflict. Kosovo is an ancient Serbian heartland that was conquered by the Muslim Ottoman Empire with the collusion of Muslim ethnic Albanians. Historical realities of the age old conflict can be reflected in the genocidal statements of the Prime Minister of Albania made in Kosovo in June 1942. At a meeting of Albanian leaders of Kosovo he said,

“We should endeavor to ensure that the Serb population of Kosovo be – the area be cleansed of them and all Serbs who had been living there for centuries should be termed colonialists and sent to concentration camps in Albania. The Serb settlers should be killed.” (Bogdanović, Dimitrije. “The Book on Kosovo”. 1990. Belgrade: Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, 1985. page 2428. and Genfer, Der Kosovo-Konflikt, Munich: Wieser, 2000. page 158.)

Indeed, Christian Orthodox Serbians have been relentlessly killed, suppressed and cleansed since the time of the Turkish Ottomans. The ethnic genocide of the Serbians by Turks and their mostly Islamic Albanian allies along with a state-sponsored mass migration of Albanians into Kosovo enabled their present day majority.
In the 1990s the conflict came to a head with ethnic attacks against Serbians rising to a fever pitch along with calls for Independence. The nation then known as Yugoslavia struggled against this separatist movement and a radical guerrilla war against Serbians began in earnest by the KLA, The Kosovo Liberation Army.
It is not America’s business to decide anything about another country halfway around the world. But the cadre of xxxish globalists who control American foreign policy decided that Serbia had to buckle down to what President Bush, Sr. once described as the “New World Order.” Serbia was not in the orbit of the New World Order’s agenda, so the globalists aided and supported in every way possible the KLA guerrillas while at the same time decrying its “excesses.” Who were these globalists behind the American war on Serbia? The war’s architects are listed by Reason Magazine in the May 2004 edition in an article written after the first year of the Iraq War, called “Temporary Doves” . In it Matt Welsh those who he describes as the “architects of Kosovo.”

Temporary Doves, from Reason Magazine May 2004 –Matt Welch
So it is of pressing interest to see what the architects of Kosovo, and its predecessor campaign in Bosnia, have to say about Bush’s controversial war. As luck would have it, there are recent books from three key Yugoslavia warriors: Madeleine Albright, the Munich-haunted Czechoslovak émigré who was the most influential anti-Milosevic hawk in Clinton’s cabinet; George Soros, the Munich-haunted Hungarian émigré and billionaire philanthropist who was among the earliest and most influential nongovernmental voices to urge military action against Serb nationalists; and Wesley Clark, the retired supreme allied commander of NATO who directed the Kosovo War.

What the article did not mention is that Madeline Albright, George Soros and even Wesley Clark are all committed xxxish supremacists. Although few Americans were even aware of it, even a man thought of as a Gentile, Wesley Clark, hailed from a “long-line of rabbis who were of the Cohen priest class.

Wesley Clark’s xxxish Roots

Ron Kampeas Special to the xxxish Times
SEPTEMBER 18, 2003 Washington
…Wesley Clark knew just what to say when he strode into a Brooklyn yeshiva in 1999, ostensibly to discuss his leadership of NATO’s victory in Yugoslavia.
“I feel a tremendous amount in common with you,” the uniformed four-star general told the stunned roomful of students. “I am the oldest son, of the oldest son, of the oldest son — at least five generations, and they were all rabbis.”
…Apparently Clark, 58, revels in his xxxish roots.
He told The xxxish Week in New York, which first reported the yeshiva comment in 1999, that his ancestors were not just xxxs, but members of the priestly caste of Kohens.

The “national security” apparatus of the Clinton administration was so xxxish it should have been labeled Israel’s National Security team. In fact the major Israeli newspaper, Maariv ran a story called “The xxxs Who Run Clinton’s Court” on September 2, 1994, in which it boasted of the dominant xxxish makeup of Clinton’s advisers and cabinet. It quotes a prominent Washington rabbi to the effect that the government of the United States is no longer a government of Gentiles. It bears repeating:

The U.S. has no longer a government of goyim [Gentiles], but an administration in which the xxxs are full partners in the decision making at all levels. Perhaps the aspects of the xxxish religious law connected with the term ‘government of goyim’ should be re-examined, since it is an outdated term in the U.S.

The article boasts of their complete domination of the administration, and describes many top officials around the president, especially in national security and foreign policy as “warm xxxs” upon whom xxxs can always count to advance the xxxish agenda.

In the National Security Council, 7 out of 11 top staffers are xxxs. Clinton had especially placed them in the most sensitive junctions in the U.S. security and foreign administrations: Sandy Berger is the deputy chairman of the council; Martin Indyk, the intended ambassador to Israel, is a senior director in charge of the Middle East and South Asia; Dan Schifter, the senior director and adviser to the president, is in charge of Western Europe;…

When warfare broke out in the mid 1990s between the Serbians under Milošević and the revolutionary Albanians in the Serbian province of Kosovo. Immediately the xxxish-influenced U.S. sided with Kosovo and waged a violent, yet undeclared war with Serbia. America’s xxxish foreign policy bosses then influenced Britain and ultimately NATO to go to war against Serbia.
An overwhelming, high tech American military force attacked not only the Serbian military forces within Kosovo and Serbia, but even bombed the civilian infrastructure throughout the nation of Serbia. City Bridges and power stations, civilian trains, and civilian buildings were bombed all over the country, even in the Serbian capitol of Belgrade. Such Bombings are routinely described by the xxxish media as terrorism when done by opponents of American policy, but when America does it, it is called “peace-keeping operations.” At the time it occurred I wrote about how sick to the stomach I felt seeing American bombs falling on a European capitol.
Imagine for a moment if the overwhelming Black majority in Washington, DC decided to break away from the United States and begun terrorist attacks and military operations to achieve that aim. Say the U.S. government moved to militarily block the revolt but a militarily superior nation halfway around the world then began to bomb New York and New Orleans and Los Angeles in support of the rebels. How would Americans feel about that nation? Perhaps in that light an American can begin to understand Serbian feelings toward us.
There a dozens of ethnic and religious wars within and between nations all over the world. America has no business taking sides and being involved in any of them. It is not our business nor in our real interests to do so.
Ironically, while we get involved in the terrible ethnic struggles around the world, America’s controllers are waging a self-destructive immigration policy that is relentlessly producing a multi-ethnic society which will inevitably produce the same dynamics of hate and violence that exist in so many nations with sizable ethnic and religious minorities. Ethnic conflicts are the primary source of wars and terrorism in the world, yet by allowing our borders to be open to massive legal and illegal immigration of non-Europeans the xxxish leadership of open immigration movements (read my articles on the supreme xxxish role in the open borders movement) are sewing the seeds of our own future conflict, of increased hatred and violence in the United States. In fact, the xxxish supremacists support massive non-European immigration as part of their ethnic “divide and conquer” policy in America just as they use divide and conquer today against Serbia and Russia.
Stephen Steinlight, the former head of National Policy for the largest xxxish organization in the United States, the American xxxish Committee put it very succinctly in an article for his fellow xxxs,

For perhaps another generation, an optimistic forecast, the xxxish community is thus in a position where it will be able to divide and conquer and enter into selective coalitions that support our agenda. (see the entire quote and source in My Awakening and xxxish Supremacism)

You often hear from conservatives, “My country right or wrong.”
Yes, we love our country and our people whether they are right or wrong, but true patriots demand that our nation be right, not wrong. We demand that our nation truly acts in the interests of the American people, not in the interest of any foreign power or loyalty. Today, the most powerful foreign influence is Zionism and xxxish supremacism,, whether in serving xxxish economic and financial interests around the world or in putting Israel’s strategic interests in the Mideast or elsewhere over that of the United States.
America has become the enforcer of the xxxish-extremist agenda worldwide. Whether one speaks of the U.S. blackmailing of Switzerland to cave into the Holocaust bank extortion, American policy makers defending the xxxish Mafia, Oligarch robber barons in Russia, or the U.S. going to war against Iraq for Israel, or American support for Israel’s murderous invasions of Lebanon, or the planned xxxish Neocon war against Iran, America is thoroughly under the thumb of the xxxish supremacists.
They are initiating a new cold war and taking aggressive steps against Russia as evidenced by the placing of nuclear missiles on Russia’s doorstep because post-communist Russia is not fully under their control and blocks their control of the U.N. Security Council.
We have seen this process in other Eastern European nations who have emerged from the grip of Communism. The price Eastern European nations must pay for America’s support is their support for America’s war for Israel s in Iraq, and support for the xxxish-American agenda in the U.N. xxxish extremists have even used their power over NATO and the EU to blackmail Eastern European nations to make laws to imprison critics of Zionism as a precondition for membership, all in the name of fighting “anti-Semitism,” of course.

Re: The Rise of the Russian Empire: Russo-Armenian Relations

My take is that Orthodox peoples, many Slavs, Armenians, Greeks, etc are getting frustrated with Westerners. The US has essentially made Turkey into their proxy force and use them and other Muslims- Albanians, Bosnians to do their bidding. Western Europeans still hate the Eastern Churches and our peoples. They lose sight that if it wasn't for our ancestors, they would be facing Mecca in prayer five times a day.

I would not be surprised if the Serbians make a move in Kosovo. In fact, I expect it. And what will the US do? Nothing. Why? All our best troops are tied down in Iraq and Afghanistan, our forces are stressed and at the breaking point. The EU states will do nothing because they are chicken.

The Serbs are tough, if they want to , they can win.

Russia, Serbia, Greece, Armenia, Belarus, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Cyprus need to drop their petty squabbles and come together.

It is a dream, but one we should be working for.

I had no idea there were any squabbles between these brotherly peoples.

But together victory is certain.

Re: The Rise of the Russian Empire: Russo-Armenian Relations

Hello Armenian friends. I been watching this thread for few years now and finally decided to comment. I been interesting view this to learn what others think and westerner periodicals say about My nation. I want to say that have great respect and honor to the Armenian people. They have proud and long amazing history that rivals many others. I know many Russians feel the same was as I. I am ashamed of the skinheads in russia who resent arrive thought that may prove otherwise. They are small group and seem be a puppet to western groups

I hope you all do not believe all Muslims are bad and horrible. There is many good moral and honorable Muslims who want nothing but friendship and love with orthodox people. They share the same enemy we do and believe the turks, Albanians and other wabaism Muslims are traitors and puppets to the american and west. Many from Syria and southern russia feel this way. Including Chechnya people who actually support russia and where invaded from wabaism Muslims from saudia Arabia who murder anyone who would not convert. I live in Kazan, Russia and we have nothing but mutual harmony between orthodox church and Islam

Thank you posting this thread and your support for Russia over the years. I have the same support to great Armenian people as well. My humble prayers go out to you Armenians and your family may god bless. I apologies for any poor english mistakes.( ps if you like learn more Kazan or see photographs my fiance took ofRrussia, here is his youtube channel
