Obama Issues Executive Order Freezing Assets Of Seven Putin Aides
As was largely expected, the first retaliation by Obama has arrived, courtesy of a just issued Executive Order by the president, in which he has blocked and frozen "all property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person" (i.e. assets) of not only the pre-coup Ukraine president Yanukovich and the Crimean leader Aksyonov, including all Russians that operate in the Russian arms industry, but most notably seven Putin aides. Not Putin himself of course - that would be too "escalatory"...
From the White House:
I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, hereby expand the scope of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13660 of March 6, 2014, finding that the actions and policies of the Government of the Russian Federation with respect to Ukraine -- including the recent deployment of Russian Federation military forces in the Crimea region of Ukraine -- undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and contribute to the misappropriation of its assets, and thereby constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. Accordingly, I hereby order:
Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person (including any foreign branch) of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in...
The people impacted:
- Vladislav Surkov
Vladislav Yuryevich Surkov (born 21 September 1964)[1] is a Russian businessman and politician. He was First Deputy of the Chief of the Russian Presidential Administration from 1999 to 2011, during which time he was widely seen as the main ideologist of the Kremlin. Allegedly he contributed greatly to the electoral victory of President Vladimir Putin in 2004. Surkov is seen as the main architect of the current Russian political system, often described as "sovereign" or "managed" democracy.
From December 2011 until 8 May 2013 he served as the Russian Federation's Deputy Prime Minister. While his resignation was described as voluntary, presidential spokesman Peskov linked the resignation with the government's failure to carry out decrees by President Putin., in the late 1980s he started as a businessman as the government lifted the ban against private businesses. He became a head of the advertisement department of Mikhail Khodorkovsky's businesses. During the 1990s he held key managerial positions in advertisement and PR departments of Khodorkovsky's Bank Menatep (1991 – April 1996) and Rosprom (March 1996 – February 1997) and Fridman's Alfa-Bank (since February 1997).
In September 2004 Surkov was elected president of the board of directors of the oil products transportation company Transnefteproduct, but was instructed by Russia's PM Mikhail Fradkov to give up the position in February 2006.
- Sergey Glazyev (the same person who threatened dumping US Treasurys and abandoning the US Dollar)
Sergey Yurievich Glazyev is a Russian politician and economist, Full Member of Russian Academy of Science since 2008. He was a minister in 1993, a member of the State Duma in 1993-2007, and ran for President of Russia in 2004. Glazyev was a co-founder of the Rodina party. Glazyev announced his retirement from politics in March 2007, and said that he did not intend to seek a further term in the Duma, arguing that Vladimir Putin's rule had crowded out all forms of political opposition and debate in the country.
In July 2012, Putin appointed Glazyev as presidential aide for the coordination of the work of federal agencies in developing the Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia. Glazyev has authored more than forty books and hundreds of pamphlets and research papers. One of his books has been published in English translation by the LaRouche movement's Executive Intelligence Review as Genocide: Russia and the New World Order (ISBN 0-943235-16-2). In 1995 he was awarded with the Gold Kondratieff Medal by the International N. D. Kondratieff Foundation and the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences (RAEN).
In August 2013 Glazyev claimed that stating that all Ukrainians favor Ukraine to integrate in the European Union "is some kind of sick self-delusion".[3] Because, according to him, "sociological surveys by Ukrainian sociological services say something different: 35% of people prefer the European Union and 40% the Customs Union". He blamed "numerous political scientists and experts, who have fed on European and American grants for 20 years, and a whole generation of diplomats and bureaucrats that has appeared after the years of the ‘orange’ hysteria, who are carrying out an anti-Russian agenda" and "who are too far from the economy and real life, don’t really know their country’s history and are divorced from its spiritual traditions" for creating "an effect that Ukraine doesn’t want".[3] Ukrainian opinion polls that polled support in Ukraine for European Union membership did indicate that at the time of Mr Glazyev's statements Ukrainians preferred joining the European Union rather than the Customs Union.

In the 1990s she served as Russian ambassador to Malta (1991–1995) and Greece (1997–1998).

For such words he was criticized by some Ukrainian and Georgian officials. Former Ukraine's envoy to NATO Ihor Sahach said: "In my opinion, he is merely used as one of cogs in the informational war waged against Ukraine. Sooner or later, I think, it should be stopped". The envoy also expressed a surprise with Rogozin's slang words. "It was for the first time that I heard such a higher official as envoy using this, I don't even know how to describe it, whether it was a slang or language of criminal circles… I understand Russian, but, I'm sorry, I don't know what his words meant".The Foreign Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Ohryzko stated that he did not regard the statement as serious.

Obama, you're such a little bitch. Either fight like a man or go home. Nobody likes watching a sissy fight.
I guess Congress just doesn't matter any more. Heil Obama!
"I, Barry Soetoro, invasive species and empty suit do hearby claim ownership of the entire planet. If you don't like the red lines I draw, take it up with my handlers Valerie and Mr. Soros. If you have the time, we're looking for a fourth for our 2 o'clock tee time."
Actually, I find this to be an interesting move. Oligarchs going after oligarchs.
Of course it could be all for show. Does anyone even know if these guys have any assets in their own name in the US? I'm assuming they are smart enough to bury ownership underneath seven different levels of offshore trusts and holding companies, like any self-respecting oligarch would.
Russia counters: "We will no longer be buying prime and former US Postal properties exclusively brokered by Senator Feinstein's husband."
Obama should urgently release a music album "The Red LineS." I think it will be a great success!
Big ego on display...
Big ego on display...
....and little cock for sure.
Check out the last name on the list. Obama never misses an opportunity to pander to some special interest group. Tell me how THAT person had anything to do with the Crimean/Ukranian situation.
In fairness to Obama, he is a fag, so he is simply looking out for his own kind.
Maybe nobody likes watching a sissy fight, but it might be funny to watch two sissies fight. I'll take odds on a Richard Simmons vs. Bath House Barry matchup.
Pussydent 0zer0 speaks... and the world yawns.
Wutta chicken sh*t that arrogant, narcissitic, pathological lying, illegal kenyan alien, muslim sociopathic incompetent is.... on top of that a chicken legged golfer with a Ho wookie...
the scumbag in the white house should mind his own business. "looking sexy in jeans"? wtf? This wannabe politician isn't capable to figure out anything without asking either his wife or his teleprompter or his dog...
There is a certain peace from admitting the truth to self as an American that I live under a king and oligarchy and not a representative government.
I swear I heard a pin drop there tarsubil...
Seeing the truth is the first step toward ending tyranny.
Thus dictators always try to control 'education', the media, face-to-face speech ('political correctness') , etc.
America has been in a state of emergency since March 9, 1933 and most people don't know it -
"Since March 9, 1933, the United States has been in a state of declared national emergency. In fact, there are now in effect four presidentially-proclaimed states of national emergency: In addition to the national emergency declared by President Roosevelt in 1933, there are also the national emergency proclaimed by President Truman on December 16, 1950, during the Korean conflict, and the states of national emergency declared by President
Nixon on March 23, 1970, and August 15, 1971.
These proclamations give force to 470 provisions of Federal law. These hundreds of statutes delegate to the President extraordinary powers, ordinarily exercised by the Congress, which affect the lives of American citizens in a host of all-encompassing manners. This vast range of powers, taken together, confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal Constitutional processes.
Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens.
Want proof? - visit here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/51409755/Senate-Report-93-549. This essentially gives presidents the authority to act in an extra-constitutional manner. No wonder the occupants of the White House get away with murder.
Ori
Yes, that means the country is currently under martial law (read previous executive orders dating back to 9-11-2001), the few remaining shreds of the bill of rights are null and void and the executive branch has temporary dictatorial powers until the "emergency" it has declared is deemed over. Amazing what a simple stroke of the pen can set aside, no? Has anyone heard of any opposition to this? Does anyone care? Of course not.
"Slutsky" - I hear he comes from a long line of Polish hookers
Everyone in the list was fully aware of the events that were about to take place months ago. If they have any assets left in the US these are probably token amounts to justify the next move by he Kremlin. Obama is a class A moron. There can no longer be any doubt about this.
I won't argue the moron label, but can he really be this stupid? Or, is this the "flexibility" that he promised to Vlad, after he was re-elected. Even with those idiots advising him on foreign policy and national security, he couldn't possibly be so far wrong on so many issues. He is deliberatly sending the US down the dumper.
But the markets don't seem to care....Bad news is good news!
Kremlin: If The US Tries To Hurt Russia's Economy, Russia Will Target The Dollaroh no, a whole seven aides? anything but that...
for Obama's sake, I hope it amounts to more than a few Brighton Beach condos.
Moldova is next. That´ll cost another 5 aides a wrist slap. Putin must be laughing his ass off.
I don't want insult. But why would any country be interested in taking Moldova? Besides Crimea was the easy part. The tricky phase in Ukraine is just starting.
mostly organ trafficking.
Crimea has Black Sea oil n gas which would be KRIMINAL to leave to the U-skulled n bones neanderthals; according to Putinistan logic.
Uh . . , how about the smokin' hot women!
Bombs away!
If Serge Glazyev wasn't motivated enough to go after the Petro-Dollar, he is now:
"Gas for Gold, Oil for Old, you Amerikanski bytchez!"
This won't end well
Next they'll ban the selling of Girl Scout cookies to 12 Russian nationals in the U.S.
This is serious stuff.
"This won't end well."
The entire Crimera for 7 expendable aides maybe getting some of their cookies locked away in a cookie jar? This has ended way better than well. Obama, the EU,and Ukraine have been punked royally! Lurch has been bitch-slapped yet again and will have nothing more to say to Putin other than "You rang?"!!
Any jewish names on that list? LOL~
they are all christians
Didn't most of the Jewish oligarchs flee to Israel years ago?
Actually pretty much ALL the top 20 or so biggest Russian oligarchs are Jewish. Abromovich, Deripaska, Khodorkovsky (still in jail), Potanin, Veckselberg, etc. Prokhorov is also a tribesman technically by birth and even Alisher Usmanov (technically Russia's richest magnate) who's Muslim is married to a woman of the Jewish faith. Oh yeah and the heasd of the largest bank (gref) and biggest telecom companies are too...the list goes on and on. Somehow the mainstream media has overlooked that fact...go figure!!
That seems unlikely, not that any are Jewish, just that they are actually christians.
If any if these guys had more than .69¢ in any accounts in US, they are not very smart.
I imagine you are not a Putin inner-circle member if you keep money with American entities.
Depends on how you look at it. They probably left enough in the US to justify a Kremlin response to the sanctions. The Russians are totally aware of the complete joke the US has become.
Can he really do that! what an idiot.
Hmmm...
Corzine still free..??
Just curious..
Corzine still free..??...
Which one?
Ask his son.
Better to do nothing than to do something which shows you can do nothing.
Oh noes! Their ebay accounts are frozen!
What about their Xbox Live accounts?
You ever have your eBay or PayPal accounts frozen ??? It's not good. I will never get out of line again after my last freezing.

They must be shivering and in deep pain. No Disneyland this year for their kids.

I wonder what the Founding Fathers would have thought about having a Kenyan born Indonesian girl as president? What would they think of her pissing all over the US Constitution while at the same time passing himself off as an expert of the Ukrainian Constitution.
Next he's going to freeze the assets of all those rogue IRS agents in Cincinnati.
Whatta guy!
Don't worry-he's just a puppet. I'm sure there are several really smart Bankster oligarchs on some kind of committee that carefully considered this decision before they told Obama what to do.
Got to keep Flexible says Obama...
Leonid Slutsky. What a awesome name. I wonder if he has any daughter. Like Ima Slutsky.
Ivanna. Ivanna Slutsky.

The US Constitution has been torn apart and flushed down the toilet since 1913.
Please take away that goddamn Executive Pen from Obozo and give him back his Etch-a-Sketch before the world is nuclear ash.

And as it continues on, somebody will stand up and answer "So THAAAAAT'S why we let all the Chinese triad money into Vancouver".
As they say in Japan, "GET!"
Will this matter if their assets are not in dollars or in countries that already trade outside of the dollar?
Go ahead piss of the BRIICs (that is a lot of natural resources that won't be availanble to your "markets")
Tick tock motherfuckers...
Read a while ago that foreign held US debt is $US denominated and US held foreign debt is other currency denominated. So if the dollar collapses so does all the US's debt and how sweet to blame it all on Putin LOL!
So the Russian billionaire oligarchs with $100 Million dollar Manhattan apartments are left alone?
Simply Pathetic. Leave the keys on the desk and just go home Obumma.
So If Putin pulled all the Tbills out..........where's the big crash everyone was talking about? They actually had a very small share of the market from I seen. A piece the digital zero machine can easily absorb.
"A National Emergency" LMAO. Awe the poor wittle babies don't get to takeover and destroy another country in the global gobble conquest I feel so sorry for you!
The use of the term "emergency" has special force in law.
Legal mumbo jumbo to circumvent constraints placed upon the executive.

Boy King is leading us to nuclear war. When will someone in the DOD take their oath to the constitution seriously and arrest this dictator?
That's the problem---everyone is bought off and the ones that aren't are too scared to put their own ass on the line. In the end they'll wish they had of but that's a familiar story that I don't need to tell.

And with a stroke of his "special" pen, Barack proves to the world that he is no more than a tiny insignificant mole on one of Michelle's "lips".
Man he must be getting paid a lot of money to take that kind of riskt. The Russians are likely to take that personal. I would have walked away if somebody told me to do something like that. Where can someone hide with today's tech.
This is definitely not good.
Today's 4.7 earthquake in LA was a bad omen.

There goes all the caviar for the GS Hanekah party
Can anyone help me find where in the Constitution the Executive is given the power to do this?
Because if this is the sort of party where the rule of law doesn't matter anymore, then I'm gonna stick my dick in the mashed potatoes.
Presumably there will be no executive actions against those who incited the Kiev mobs to overthrow the government, or the oligarchs who are plotting to financially fist fuck the Ukrainian people, right?
What a fucking absurd puppet clown we have as Emperor. And the frightening thing is Hillary is going to make him look like Calvin Coolidge.
Can anyone help me find where in the Constitution the Executive is given the power to do this?
Its between the right to an abortion amendment and the separation of church and state clause. You just gotta know where to look ;)
What Constitution?
George Bush said he had torn it up!
Might as well go ahead and do it, JCB. Obama's already fucked the chicken.
"Because if this is the sort of party where the rule of law doesn't matter anymore, then I'm gonna stick my dick in the mashed potatoes."

It appears the ex commie country is more free than the ex free country that is turning commie by the second

That " Take that" would be a kiss to Putin's bottom
He should fly directly to Moscow, address the Kremlin in the harshest of words, pound his shoe on the podium and scream 'we will bury you'.
harumph
Will you be here all week?
You mean pound the podium with his High Heeled Pump? Fixed it for you.
And you can bet that Western MSM will peddle this dictatorial act by a President POS as "a measured response" after Russia's strong provocations.
lovely picture of the USD Index right now.
"And just like that" we are at war with Russia.
In a related story, Obama announced this morning that if the incredible sanctions on the "magnificent seven" fail to yield the expected result, he has the authority to place Mr. Putin on 'Double Secret Probation' and has ordered S.o.S. Kerry to remind Mr Putin that ".....this may end up on his permanent record"
"Kenyan, stoned, and gay is no way to go through life, son."
FINALLY!!!!! I wondered what DingleBarry was going to do to show Putin who was the boss around this planet...I worried DingleBarry would "leave us all hanging" forever...
Complete in line with expectations. Crimea was just foreplay. Now Ukraine lost its bargain chip for cheap gas, Dutch Euro MP proclaimed at Dutch tv, Ukrain will never join the EU (Yes the same guy who talk on maidan), the US want to help the Ukraine with 1 Billion but does not want to pay and the EU can not pay, Putin just have to watch how an other neocon game is unfolding into chaos again!.
Chaos is the goal of all the neocon games. This is a point most people miss. Our Empire isn't based on occupying territory and running things, like the British or previous Empires. Our Empire is based on recruiting the most corrupt and vicious locals to enslave their populations and give us the choicest pickings, keeping enough for themselves to live opulently. They remain obedient to us because they know the instant we withdraw our armed muscle, their people will tear them limb from limb immediately. This works for us and for the local tyrants until the local tyrants get too greedy (Noriega), start to believe their own bullshit (Saddam Hussein), or become so hated they can't hang on any longer no matter how savagely the beat down their people (Shah Reza Pahlavi).
A failed state, to the neocons, is one where the best-armed can do whatever they want, but nobody else can do anything constructive. When a string of failed states surrounds Russia and China, and sit atop strategic resources and trans-shipment routes, or anyplace China has made significant investments in infrastructure, that's success in the neocons' zero-sum Grand Chessboard game. What we see now is the same thing we've been seeing for 50 years; unbroken control of US foreign policy by Kissinger and Brzezinski. It's evil, but it's not failure at all.
This is why you don't put money in the US for safety, and more evidence Martin Armstrong is freaking clown.
And why are we sanctioning people who are anti-gay with sanctions over Ukraine? These two things are only connected in the minds of rabidly homosexual gay supremacist lunatics.
This man says he is POTUS?
He is IMPOTUS , if you ask me.
Threatens sanctions against Russia and imposes sanctions on Russian Individuals.
Americans should start wearing skirts.- no not Scottish kilts- they are worn by brave men.
We all must think and walk into the realm of the hypothetical what if a woman was President? Let's take the absurd notion that Sarah Palin became President. Her knowledge of Russia by being to observe the nation from Alaska would a added wonderful insight into this topic. The relations would be better also because Vlad and Grizzly Mom woulda went hunting together. Or how about Ms Condi Rice if she was President or at least at her old jobs of Secretary of State or National Security Adviser. She speaks fluent Russian (giving new meaning to the drink black Russian). She is a scholar in the Soviet Union. These two ladies woulda done a much better job than this fucking idiot that is gonna run this country into the ground. (This is coming from a guy that hates Republicans and Democrats.) I did not think in my wildest dreams that any president could make as many blunders and have a worse standing in the world than Dubya. This is so Nobel Laureately of you (is that even a word?).
hey no mention of the dude who said that Russia could turn us into radioactive dust? WTF, Barrack!!
No. It was more important to go after someone related to gay rights infringement. Yes. WW3 is currently being waged around sodomy laws. Obama will end up sending people to die in Ukraine over the legality of same sex assplay.
what the puppetmasters want, the puppetmasters get.
Not to worry, the money is safe. Obama opened a MyRa account for them. They are free to withdrawl from it at any time, (once the national emegerency is declared over).
If Russia's goal is to upend the status quo, why would threatening the Russian oligarchy's continued participation in the global financial status quo be effective? At the point where some power(s) is really ready to take on Western corporate/financial/bureaucratic order, I figure it's too late to deny them access to the clubhouse.
