Ukraine Is The New Wild West: Russia Today British Journalist Gets "Price On His Head"
When the business of truth-saying in a civil-war-strafed nation puts a price on your head... you know things are getting out of control...
Price on my head now set at $10,000. pic.twitter.com/WZHIejKIwc

And Hillary Clinton will double the bounty.
While this is interesting, it would be really noteworthy if the bounty had been placed on the banksters or pols involved.
Let me know when Jamie Dimon or Lloyd Blankfein or Corzine or Kerry or other bad actors are placed under a bounty...
DaddyO
Is obvious why the headless, brainless fucks, put a price on that dude's head.
Might I suggest an accessory that could come in handy?
.. interesting to note that this cowboy western TV and movie favorite was introduced after the era of the wild west.
Damn dangerous country! How can they dare use language without Doublespeak?
Ten bucks? Doesn't sound like much. Must have been something really bad.
Wonder what the bounty on those dead bankers heads were. Guess that bounty wasnt tweeted.
"Ten bucks? Doesn't sound like much."
Dear Gawd, I hope that was sarcasm rather than another display of American ignorance of most (all?) things not Uh-mer-i-cun. (In this instance that of an alternative numerical syntax with regard to commas and periods).
If that was not sarcasm, then is it safe to presume that you did not serve abroad?
Safe to also presume that you're likewise unaware that in some locales yesterday's date was 4/5/2014 rather than 5/4/2014?
Down arrows! Well-played! Safe to assume that you are amongst the 5 of 6?

Quite telling that the bounty is quoted in USD?
pods
and thank god it it Pods. Once they stop paying for killings in dollars all those dollars are going to come flooding back into this country like an inflationary tsunami.
Yep, we might lose the petrodollar, but as long as we have the bountydollar I think the USD reserve currency status is safe.
Long Al-USDiayah?
Graham should not be that proud. $10k is kinda low for a bounty on a person.
I don't know, in most big cities, $500 will usually get the job done.
Just read any headline in the major rags on any given day.
Gangbangers are usually pretty agreeable on this price from what I read.
DaddyO
As my grandpop told me years ago, life is cheap and $50 could do the job. Now with the devaluing of the dollar 10k sounds about right. :-)
They need to spend those printed money, $$$$
"Captain Blight, you'll get a Mutiny on this Bounty"
"Captain Blight, you'll get a Mutiny on this Bounty"
The only Bounty I know are those delicious little chocolates filled with shredded coconut. Y'all know what I'm talking about?
So we are killing people in war to prop up the petro-dollar so they can pay for killings in dollars, just so our dollars don't come flooding back home and kill us. Sounds logical.
will work
for bitcoin
You must've missed the memo...
Bitcoin has now become the favored whipping boy of the Pentagon, the currency of trrrrrists.

What's hilarious is that there are people who believe sanctions can be imposed on Russia, and high level leaders' monies, accounts, etc., can be effectively targeted.
Tell that to the guy who managed to piss off Putin, who happened to be killed via insertion of highly radioactive substance in many of his nooks & crannies while he was being heavily guarded IN LONDON.
Woe be the bankster who attempts to comply with some G7/US/EU sanctions against Putin or his inner circle.
Do not fuck with made Russians, especially of the political kind, whether your a lowly banister on the regulatory side or an oligarch billionaire from the gang of crooks. You won't live long - even Israelis tread cautiously when dealing with Vlad.
A friend of mine, SAS, trained in Russia for two weeks side by side Russian special ops. Weeks spent in freezing snow. Told me one day the Russians came out of the barricks wearing only underwear and spent the next few hours laughing at the Brits about how they shivered like little boys.
Yes, don't fuck with the Russians.
Yes, that is true, I was there.
Were you in your undies?
We were all in the "Buff".
Back in the '90's I hung out with a former Soviet army recon kid. He said they dropped him in the boonies outside of Murmansk in the dead of winter and told him that if you're alive when we come back at the end of the week, great. Yeah, the ones that survived are great. I think Dmity Orlov is on to something. The Russians may struggle with prosperity, but they're built to survive calamity. Americans... not so much.
Yes, that is true. I was there.
When the SHTF, I'll be glad I married into a Russian family. Thye can make do with nothing. Fuck Obama, fuck the US. She's like an unfaithful bitch.
The bounty is priced in USD?
I'd imagine that's one reason Vlad has piled up billions. Imagine if you were a player at that level with billionaire opponents that likely would want to see you disappeared. Lotsa money would be one tool that you'd better have (and people absolutely loyal to you, willing to give their lives to protect you).
That point of view cuts both ways. The Russian Ukrainians are not Putin's clan. They are associated but expendable. Putin will not act unless it is in his best interests. What you are seeing in the Ukraine is the Russian Ukrainian crooks watching their power base being evaporated. If Putin has a deal with the Powers That Be, these Russian Ukrainians do not have much chance.
I suspect the Russian Ukrainian oligarchs are playing Russian Roulette with Putin. I think they feel they can embarass Putin into action to save their ill-gotten gains.
If you want to play with the bull, be prepared to get the horns.
The Russian Ukrainian oligarchs have no friends in the West, and need to pay heavily to buy friends in the East.
"Quite telling that the bounty is quoted in USD?"
Did you also notice that to set the thousands place off, the writer used a period rather than a comma? A Euro writer quoting a bounty in dollars? Makes one wonder who the writer's intended audience is?
i thought euromaidan gave it away.
Hillarious will arrange for him to commit suicide in Ft. Marcy Park, with a 'drop gun' he never owned, and without one drop of blood spilled or shown in the photo.
"Hillarious will arrange for him to commit suicide in Ft. Marcy Park, with a 'drop gun' he never owned, and without one drop of blood spilled or shown in the photo."
And the blood will run uphill, and forensics will find carpet fibers on all sides of his clothing, and Park Police will investigate the murder, and Maggie Anderson and Bernie Nusbaum will loot his office and block the FBI from entry, and... oh well.
Ft Marcy Park is a nice place, and most visitors have no clue who Vince Foster was or that his body was found there. I'll bet my nuts that a higher percentage of Americans (by a factor of 3?) can correctly tell you who any of the Kardashians is than can tell you who Vince Foster was.
glad to hear you safe!
btw, where are you staying tonight ... i might hook you up with a couple of my friends for your protection ... you know
Has WW III started yet?
It will be the first global war fought over twitter.
Time for an Obama #selfie!
As long as they don't use twukes.
As I indicated yesterday (Sun, 05/04/2014 - 15:36 | 4726360), in
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-05-04/dozens-cia-fbi-agents-advising-...
WW3 was triggered on 11.22.2013 (50 years after another fateful trigger event in Dallas), when Pres. Yanukovych rejected the EU and opted for a trade deal with Russia. The official escalation to full thermo-kinetic and cyber warfare by Russia and NATO is still WIP, but getting there.
For now we have other forms of WW3 warfare: PR/Propaganda War, Economic War, Currency War. If you read the history of 1914, you will note that no one (except the Sponsors and Organizers) thought that there would be a WW. Same situation today.
Good luck in convincing anyone in 'Merica that "Either WW3 or the Dollar collapse is coming". Hell, you'd be ostracized and marginalized in a jiffy. Right after you're escorted to the front door of your job and your box of personal effects are sent to you.
Time to Pack, Stack and Rack - while you can. And then "Get the flock out", when the time comes. And get your connections with your ZH buddies made now, cause the time will come when we'll be off the air also.
Told my bank manager two years ago we were lurching towards
WWIII. He told me then I was crazy .He rang today asking for advice.
I told him its too late if you didn't have a plan then, and followed through on it,unless you were prepared to leave semi
destitute.
I'm mulling over Switzer, Thailand, or NZ if I have to run.
What about you ?
Free market, bitches.
Monday humor -
Headline at cnbc - Economists see 4% GDP for Q2
I wonder where they're looking. Obviously they're anticipating fantastic weather for Q2.
It is not necessaRily a joke, as the economy grinds to a stop and then starts contracting, there will be big oscillations created by the complexity of level of complexity of the system (in physics we would say it is a high order system), bringing to play the famous or infamous regression to the mean. Thus a negative print for Q1 is likely to be followed by a highly positive one, so 4 is not out of the question, especially when you realize that most of GDP is QE driven. The averages will go down to zero and the 2 to 3% negative, and that is compatible with a 4% reading next month. Pundits will try to construct from it thAt the recovery is finally starting.
That's a well-considered idea, and certainly a possibility, but I think for mass public consumption we should stick with 'the weather got better'.
"then starts contracting"
In real or nominal terms?
Things that don't need to be repeated: Financialization is only growth in the sense that cancer is growth. A service economy cannot sustain itself. A sub-2% GDP is stall-speed, purely inertial.
I'd say we've been stalled out since about the 70s - between the end of gold convertibility, the peak in per-capita energy consumption, the oil crisis, and the end of manned spaceflight at NASA (and none of those things are coincidences).
I'd be offended at such a lowball price if I were him.
The lovin' doesn't start till the trigger gets pulled.
People haven't seen the likes of Ukrainian Nazis in 70 years. They were more deranged and psychotic and the German Nazis.
They have been incubated by the US and now they have been released.
Russia has no choice but to remove this Nazi pestilence, again.
speaking of which, Kiev is sending them to Odessa,
"Pro-Russian rebels shot down a Ukrainian helicopter in fierce fighting near the eastern town of Slaviansk on Monday, and Kiev drafted police special forces to the southwestern port city of Odessa to halt a feared westward spread of rebellion.
Ukraine said the Odessa force, based on "civil activists", would replace local police who had failed to tackle rebel actions at the weekend. Its dispatch was a clear signal from Kiev that, while tackling rebellion in the east, it would vigorously resist any sign of a slide to a broader civil war."
the forces being sent in are from the west and are part of the new national guard and not regular Ukrainian military.
Russia had better move soon if it does not want a fully functioning, NATO supported neo- Nazi regime on it's front door...
time to pull the trigger Vlad.
Word. In WW2 Ukrainian gangs were responsible for atrocities committed against Jews as much, if not more, than their German masters. Types of murder the Germans found in "bad taste" the Ukrainians found enjoyable.
100% true, Ive seen accounts of German forces getting sick to their stomach at seeing what their Ukie volunteers got up to. As much as Putin won't want to engage in a hot war, he may just have too in order to stop these Right Sector Banderite animals massacring more Russians.
$10,000, righteous bucks dude!
Sadly, you know that $10,000 is probably our fucking tax dollars at work. With all the bashing of RT by administration officials, the CIA has their prints all over this. I'll know when shit is about to explode when the US govt takes RT off the air in the US.
They won't take RT off the air... What is the point? RT is not much different from MSM. In the age of the internet, information gets circulated. Not all that information is accurate. It's important to have access to all accounts of an action so you can make up your own mind about what is happening.
Global opinion is being formed. Perceptions of that global opinion will result in actions taken by the parties involved in the Ukraine.
All in all, I think this is all very positive for the Ukraine, and the fight against corruption in general.

Context:
Ukrainian GDP per capita is $3,867 as of 2013.
We have always been at war with East-Eurasia.
So what did he say?
He's reporting Eastern Ukranian's not welcoming their "liberators" but yelling "Go back to Kiev!" and chanting "Fascists! Fascists!"; in other words, reporting what EuroMaidan does not want to be known.
http://rt.com/news/156628-kramatorsk-residents-ukrainian-military/
the truth,
it's dangerous enough!
The pro-west ukrainians are playing with fire. They are going to get kurded by the US. Enjoy when they walk away (and they will).
Swopping jack boots for running shoes.
Shouldn't they be looking for "Cookie Monster" Nuland?!
EuroMaidan is now putting a bounty out for Journalists?
I'd bet a large pizza and a pitcher of beer that no one in the U.S. .gov or MSM condemns it, or reports it.
You won't see MSM coverage on this as both sides of this "event" are known to stretch the truth. Let's roll and see what happens.
What we have here is a low level fracas that is needed to get both sides to the negotiating table.
They're too busy fighting against the First Amendment.
before this is over bounties will be offered in gold only from both sides.

That's what happens when you don't have your own NSA to make somebody's accelerator stick and your own media to call it an accident. Might as well put an ad on Craigslist.
MH. Don't forget the incendiary charges to light the Mercedes on fire.

great. so payback for not getting their gas pipeline through?
When I read shit like that it makes me wonder if the world might be a better place if we dropped a mini-nuke on the house of Saud.
Why bother?
Isn't it easier to simply stop helping them?
People imagine these figures to be unbeatable, and in their fatalism, support them.
Send in the dark orcs. With lots of white meat in Ukraine, they will kill 'em and eat 'em. Leaving a clean field and a lot of terror among the Ukraines.
F-EU Nuland (Kagan), must be creaming her jeans. Where have I heard that name before? http://www.jewwatch.com/jew-leaders-kaganovich.html#kaganovichbio1
nah, trolling. would have been in russian
nah, trolling. would have been in russian
Vlad,
what r u waiting for....?
The current Russian Ukrainian uprising is funded/directed by the crooked Yanukovich faction with support of associated oligarchs. They see themselves as the canaries in the coal mine. Putin will not step into the battle until these people have lost. Why take heat from global opinion for a bunch of crooks who aren't your crooks?
After the appropriate amount of bloodshed, and loss of Russian Ukrainian oligarchs, Putin will be dealing with a clean table. The players left in circulation will be willing to cut better Pro-Putin deals to stave off what happened to those oligarchs who did not have Putin's protection. This is a Machiavellian tactic to draw all oligarchs closer to Putin... this giving him more sway.
Ever meet yerself coming around a corner?

The History of warfare is similarly divided, although here the phases are
Retribution, Anticipation, and Diplomacy, thus:
Retribution: I'm going to kill you because you killed my brother.
Anticipation: I'm going to kill you because I killed your brother.
Diplomacy: I'm going to kill my brother and then kill you on the pretext that your brother did it.

I used to like the game wheres Waldo.....now its wheres Grahm.....
Underscoring many Ukraine reports is the specter of propaganda and lies running just ahead of the paid operatives.
First, the lies; then, the operatives hit the street; then, the violence followed by lies depicting who was involved and what it all means.
How sad that the 21st century has continued the war of words which lead to the slaughter of innocents.
Case in point: yesterday’s moving story through the Western media headlining “Odessa Jews prepare for emergency evacuation (Investment Watch).”
I notice that the Jews are not fleeing, they are “preparing” to flee… again.
At this point, the story is largely propaganda, leading to the western readers’ conclusion: Russia is so anti-Semitic that if pro-Russian forces take over Odessa, the Jews will be in great danger of another holocaust. The story recaps the history of Jews in the southern Ukraine area and specifies that if evacuation is needed the children will be removed first.
'When there is shooting in the streets, the first plan is to take [the children] out of the centre of the city,' Rabbi Kruskal told the newspaper (The Jerusalem Post).
'If it gets worse, then we’ll take them out of the city. We have plans to take them both out of the city and even to a different country if necessary, plans which we prefer not to talk about which we have in place.”
This newest propaganda fits neatly into the American Empire’s story, supporting the IMF/NATO/EU campaign: Russian speakers and pro-Russian Ukrainians are the enemy of “democracy and freedom.” If they try anything, we’ll just have to send in the bombs. And if people get killed, well, this is war. If we have to put a $10,000 bounty on Graham W. Philips' head to blot out the truth, so be it.
Part of the problem in western media bias, of course, is the heavy influence of Jewish interests.
“Oliver Stone, the iconoclastic part-Jewish movie director, told The Sunday Times (of London) that ‘Jewish control of the media was preventing an open discussion of the holocaust,’ and that the U.S. Jewish lobby has been controlling Washington’s foreign policy for years. ‘[The Jewish lobby is] a major lobby in the United States,’ said Stone. ‘They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington.’” – The Nationalist Times, April 2014
Nonstop hysterical fairy tales from those people. They just need to calm down.
The Zios have a long history of throwing other Jews under the bus...
But they are not Semites. Semites live in Palestine .
I just found this site with an analysis (in Russian and English) of what happened in Odessa. The writer puts the death toll to 300, not to 40!
Protesters were in fact slaughtered inside the Union building, not just killed by the fire (which in fact hit just a small fraction of the building). Beware: very graphic!! There is even the photo of a pregnant woman strangled with an electric wire. I cannot tell if this is the truth, or some kind of Russian propaganda, but it is worth watching to have a broader view on what happened in Odessa.

Uskatex, -- the current results of our $5 Billion regime change. Gruesome.
When you truly know that you are a loser, who is well... Losing!!!!
Some very unhappy Zionist Yid bankers in our midst. Wouldn't you love to listen to the dinner table conversation at the Rothschild household!
They only talk to each other in the transfusion room. They feed the children very well prior to draining them. As a result, the rich blood is full of nutrients and Redshields don't have to actually eat, accept between transfusions. They don't talk much, even then, because they know that each of them is plotting the murder of each other while they plan the murder of ALL of you.
Obama will match That.
... If you want your head, you can keep your head...
Hey........If I can collect on the bounty I can pay for four months worth of Obamacare.
If I were Euromaidan PR, I would be more concerned over the longer term of retaining my own head, rather than going after others'.
Is that 10.000 in the form of an IOU from the IMF ?
No. It is in dollars from the US stink tank's account that handles the EuromaidenPR NGO fund.
I see Vicky "F the EU" Nuland has a new twitter handle. LOL
Anybody who doesn't know what Ukrainian fascists are capable of hasn't read any history. And the Kissinger/Brzezinski/Wolfowitz cabal has, in fact, read their history. They know exactly what they're stirring up and how it will go. Doesn't matter to them how it ends. Liver-eating cannibals, child-killers; there's no demon in human form too low to serve the purpose, since the purpose is merely to shed blood and spread fire to put resources in storage for us to claim later, and to sap the strength of rivals Russia, China and the EU. The bit about herding people into peoples with slaughter, and then putting them to the torch seems to be a particularly authentic historic touch of local flavor.
In silver dollars?

AP ENTERPRISE: US to unleash IRS on Russian banks
Email this Story
May 5, 1:59 PM (ET)
By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER
(AP) This March 22, 2013, file photo, shows exterior of the Internal Revenue...Full Image
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is deploying an economic weapon against Russia that could prove to be more costly than sanctions: the Internal Revenue Service.
As the U.S. attempts to punish Russia for its actions in Ukraine, the Treasury Department plans to start using a new tax law to make it more expensive for Russian banks to do business in the U.S. Congress passed the law in 2010 to curb tax evasion through the use of overseas accounts.
Starting July 1, the law targets foreign financial institutions that don't agree to share information about U.S. account holders with the IRS. Russia had been negotiating an information-sharing agreement with the U.S. But after Russia annexed Crimea and was seen as stoking separatist movements in eastern Ukraine, Treasury suspended negotiations.
stop him
grab him
smash him
crush him
kill him
catch the putnick
catch that putnik now
It's got a catchy beat, and you can dance to it...
Sounds more like the new Iran, with Ayatollahs issuing Fatwas.
Is the IMF picking up this tab?
Our Tax Money being well spent.
$10,000?
Now that is money well spent.
The US is involved in the Ukraine for the following concerns:
- To keep the Gulf States in the fold they have to find a new or expanded market for what the Gulf sells. (Part of the petro-dollar agreement was that the US had to stop producing energy - and the US recently reneged.)
- To keep the Euros militarily subordinate to the US they have to show that the US can address Europe's military concerns - which includes energy security.
The US should just accept the end of the Petro Dollar, the Reserve Dollar, take the licks that are coming related to that event, and otherwise mind its own business.
HOWEVER, it is highly unfair to condemn the US and Europes immoral interventions to gain access to energy, while lauding Putin's imoral interventions to block access. It is so unfair that it constitutes aggression - by overtly supporting one aggression over another.
The answer is to support no aggression.
It frustrates me that people think they have to choose the flavor of Evil that best suits them - as though they were choosing a sports team - rather than condemning the evil uniformly.
putting a bounty on a journalists head? Yeah I don't think even Joey Goebbels would like his little #BanderaMaidan operatives doiing that...
Just a question.
If Euromaidan are as Nazi as Graham makes them out to be, then why did they have to take out an ad?
Anyone with 10k in Ukraine should be careful, even those calling for the head of another, they are afterall, fond of the expression "boomerang".
You know for sure that the ebay reserve is now going to be set to $11,000 +p&p.
