Russia Ups the Ante in Crimea by Sending in the ‘Night Wolves’

On Friday afternoon, the regular flight from Moscow touched down in the Crimean capital of Simferopol, in the south of Ukraine, carrying the leader of a Russian motorcycle gang known as the Night Wolves. Alexander Zoldostanov, an old friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was wearing his usual get-up – a flaming wolf’s head stenciled onto his black leather vest – but for once he was not the most intimidating figure on the scene. Since the morning, dozens of masked troops had been sauntering around Crimea’s main airport, armed to the teeth but refusing to identify themselves. In some ways, they seemed to have the same goal as Zoldostanov, who goes by the nickname The Surgeon. They were sending a signal to the revolutionary government in Ukraine that they were no longer in charge on this peninsula.

Do you think that after Russia gave up communism they are no more under the powers of the high cabal?

IDK...

I think "The Cabal" is the multinational horizontal power scheme that formed after WWII and whatever immediate stakes thereafter were driven are the ones still in place today.

I have no pie in the sky idea about Russia, really. They just happen to be standing opposite what I think might be the end of us all. They could be the 2nd biggest dicks on the whole earth, and they still get a certain baseline support from me for doing it.

IDK...! Is that bad?

It seems to me that they are at least some way disconnected from the international banker backed take over of their industry and resources. They have brought some tax evading Rothschild front men to justice. It seems we entering the times of chaos and the old power structures are being deformed. It reminds me of the 1930's chaos before the second world war.

Shocking tell about the game behind the curtains

If true that UNA-UNSO is not “Ukrainian” opposition, but rather a highly secret NATO force using Ukraine as base, it would suggest that the EU peace compromise with the moderates was likely sabotaged by the one major player excluded from the Kiev 21 February diplomatic talks—Victoria Nuland’s State Department.viii

In negotiations last October, the IMF demanded that Ukraine double prices for gas and electricity to industry and homes, that they lift a ban on private sale of Ukraine’s rich agriculture lands, make a major overhaul of their economic holdings, devalue the currency, slash state funds for school children and the elderly to “balance the budget.” In return Ukraine would get a paltry $4 billion.

Sergey Belous, specialist in contemporary history and international relations,

Belous: First of all there are those "mysterious" snipers, who were proclaimed by the opposition as Yanukovich’s murderers. The real fact is that those snipers were shooting at people on BOTH sides, I mean not just the so called demonstrators, but also at the security forces.

I know from a very reliable source that more than 30 people were killed by them. And they did it so professionally and precisely that the Ukrainian authorities needed to involve between 10 to12 of their own snipers to stop just one of those skilled killers, who obviously had extensive experience in urban combat.

Belous: Investigators from the Special Forces tried to research the crimes I mentioned, and the role played by an opposition Member of Parliament named Sergey Pashinsky. Some of the Maidan demonstrators stopped a car and they found a sniper rifle inside, Pashinsky just jumped in that car and quickly vanished with unknown persons. Unfortunately, that investigation has now been put on hold after the overthrow of the government.

Belous: The full dossiers on key right movement leaders was delivered to the appropriate departments of the Ukrainian special services, but they disappeared straightaway!

And then the SBU (Ukraine Security Service) just took away all the documents on all of their suspects, so now, according to the Interior Ministry data bases their biographies look absolutely clean! They are well coordinated, well trained and some of them even have several years of training using firearms - and they have all managed to avoid arrest. That all looks suspicious, doesn’t it?
