Putin Responds: "US Sanctions Will Boomerang And Cause Very Serious Damage"
It took just a little over an hour for Vladimir Putin to respond to the latest, most provocative and toughest round of US sanctions yet. The response, appropriately enough, came just after the BRICS summit in Brazil, where the world's developing countries yesterday announced the formation of both a BRIC bank and a $100 billion currency reserve to provide a liquidity alternative to the insolvent developed world's central banks. Here Vladimir Putin was asked to comment on the new package of sanctions against Russia announced just minutes earlier by Obama.
Putin's response: "We aren’t the ones introducing sanctions, you should ask them."
"Sanctions have a boomerang effect and without any doubt they will push U.S.-Russian relations into a dead end, and cause very serious damage, and it undermines the long term security interests of the US State and its people." he said to reporters while elaborating that said he needed to see the details of the sanctions to understand their full scope Reuters added.
And as was largely expected, Putin's next jab was right where it hurt: energy.
"This means that U.S. companies willing to work in Russia will lose their competitiveness next to other global energy companies."
Putin said the sanctions will hurt Exxon Mobil Corp which has been given the opportunity to operate in Russia. "So, do they not want it to work there? They are causing damage to their major energy companies," he said.
While we don't know for sure, we are confident that following the press conference Putin sat down with the rest of the BRICS, which command a population of just over 3 billion not to mention the world's fastest growing economies, and realized that for all the posturing, it is really a game of reserve fiat vs energy, with the US controlling the former, while the BRICS, and especially Russia, dominating the latter. And as long as the BRICS don't have their own monetary system, they will be reliant on the every swift (pun intended) whim of Janet "price-to-equity ratio" Yellen and her central planning kind.
We are just as confident that he and his peers are currently contemplating how to no longer be bound by the former ever again.
In the meantime, and to further distance itself from western reliance, Moscow ordered state officials to only use Russian-made cars. From Reuters:
Top Russian officials may soon forfeit the sleek black Mercedes limousines that speed them through the Kremlin gates in favour of home-produced cars as part of a push to protect domestic industry threatened by Western sanctions over Ukraine.
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said he had signed an order limiting purchase of imported cars for state and municipal officials - a move in line with Vladimir Putin's bid to increase self-reliance from engineering to defence, but carrying more symbolic than commercial importance.
Many Western cars are now assembled in Russia, but not the Mercedes limousine, the car of choice for many government officials and often used by President Putin.
In Soviet times, homemade limousines such as the ZiL and for lesser officials, the Volga were de rigeur. These have now largely vanished from the streets, to the chagrin of some who see profligacy and a lack of patriotism in the preference.
For now it is a political decisions:
"This will not influence the market at all, it is a political decision," said Vladimir Bespalov, an analyst with Moscow-based VTB Capital, putting the share of state-funded car purchases at less that 3 percent of the market.
But how long until this too escalates to other industries and other consumers, first in Russia but in the other BRIC nations, all of whom one can safely say appear to have finally had it with western/IMF-led global hegemony.

WW3 is coming. Do not forget God in the catastrophe to come
God will appear in the form of a holographic image and the ignorant public will buybull. Most people in our wayward Republic will come to love the state approved deity because 'it' will be endorsed by a few celebrities, thus easing their collective unconscience mind. If you disagree you will be called a traitor, terrorist and infidel. God is Love, now I kill you. 2 + 2 = 5
Yes there is that too. But If you think that despite all the potenional crap like that and op blue beam etc God does not exist. Think again. Man is on the road to planetary destruction. Mans karma will be paid. It is ugly now. There is no peace anywhere. Maybe when your neighbourhood goes feral and your dying, u might pray from the heart.
My plan, when the conventional Christian Calvary fails to show to save my ass, I'm gonna choose a new bunch. Since the Hollowwood crowd is so brilliant I'm headed to Scientology, even if I have to rob a convenience store. I don't dare touch a sacrosanct bank.
lol...are you "clear", Farqued?
You are "clearly" Farqued, if this is the plan. lol

desperate times call for desperate measures
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/desperate_times_call_for_desperate_measures
Etymology
This phrase likely originates with a saying of the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates, which appears in his Aphorisms: "For extreme diseases, extreme methods of cure, as to restriction, are most suitable."[1]. A similar phrase occurs in Erasmus's Latin adage "Malo nodo, malus quærendus cuneus" (from his 1500 book Adagia, which was first published in English in 1545).[2] Another similar Latin saying, "extremis malis extrema remedia," appears in print as early as 1596.[3]

Sanctions boomeranging! Jim Willie…today:
Germany Pivoting East, Exit US Dollar, Enter Gold Standard"It is finally happening in full view, in unmistakable manner, in a way that the awake, the aware, and the conscious can perceive in alarming stunning terms. The central force of Europe, the industrial juggernaut, the stable core, has begun to pivot East. The Germans have had enough, fed up with destructive US activities of all kinds. For the last few months, they have been laying out their indictment, their justification, their reasons to abandon the corrupt US-UK crowd. The bank wreckage, the market rigging, the endless wars, the sanctions which backfire, the sham monetary policy, the economic sabotage, the spying, the gold gimmicks, it has finally reached a critical level…
"Germany has begun to move East in full view. Only the deaf dumb and blind cannot notice, and they will probably never notice. They are fodder. The awaited signals seen by the Jackass have finally arrived. The grand stage leans East for the European players, with steps taken to the right, the weight having shifted, the messages suddenly more angry, more filled with disgust, more loaded with open confrontation. The commercial forces aligned with Russia are coming to the fore….
“The Jackass believes Germany will break from US/UK and its USDollar fiat currency regime over four primary thorny issues. The four are major indictments, all extremely serious, all indicative of a decayed system and morally bankrupt leadership. The charges are coming into view, highlighting fundamental commercial, philosophical, and ethical conflicts that distinguish the two nations (considering US/UK a single entity). The issues center on the following key differences:

German realignment with Russia is temporary. Fracking is becoming popular in Europe. Britain is going for it.
Big fail but Angela Hitler will move on to head the EU after Germany is catching on to her as the daughter of the Fuhrer. Germany is taking down the nuke plants as they see how impossible it is to store waste. They want coal now but ............ guess what the donabass coal does not now look obtainbable.
Poland once again fails and it goes back to the time of tzars when pathetic Poles under Rome were defeated again and again by Russia who had their own orthodox Christianity under the tsars. In fact Ivan The Terrible told Rome's emisarries to leave Russia, he was the emissary of Christ on earth.
The Polish commandos wannabe nazis are acting on behalf of the vatican right now today. It is an old story. They are losing once again. Galicians are being routed by the sons of Peter the Great, people who began their offensive with hunting rifles and now possess an army equal to the forces of EU. This one is far from over.
"SPENT" uranium is easily disposed of in Warthogs and spread over the giant sand pile. Gimme that half life again, please.
Now that you mention it, the bride and I went in the oldest Catholic, as in Roman, church in the world. I believe that the name is St. Mary's in Gdansk. It was built in the 13 th century, I think, well before Martin pitched his hissy fit.
There are far older Catholic churches than that (13th century) in existence.
NO MBZ limos. That is really taking one for the team. LOL.

If things continue this way, the price of fuel is likely to get much more expensive and, as anyone who shops for food knows, the price of food is getting much more expensive.
If you can, STOCK UP.
In reality America has few military options in Russia's backyard unless it has the backing of a full and enthusiastic NATO and that is very unlikely. Europe has reason to be unexcited about a possible long and expensive conflict. While still trying to recover from a recession Europe would face fuel shortages and a massive spike in the price of natural gas.
Don't hold your breath for Putin to back-off or back-down, he has put down his marker and is now playing both Obama and Kerry for fools in a contest that cost Russia little. Putin holds all the cards and time is on his side. It is likely that if If Putin doesn't get Eastern Ukraine next week he will next month or next year at the latest. More on this subject in the article below.
http://brucewilds.blogspot.com/2014/07/putin-holds-all-cards.html
Russia and Putin have been surrounded and backed up so much they have no choice but to not back down. I imagine "The Grand Chessboard" was translated into Russian some time ago.
And "The Art of War" too.
It will be a lightening war of massive destructive power. '3/4 of mankind' will die- meher Baba

Long story short
This has been ongoing for centuries. The vatican is butt hurt over the Russian orthodox church. The vatican is is controlled by Jesuits and the jews are the majority fixers on this counsel. In fact Loyola was a jew.
Poland and the baltics are catholic controlled and consider themselves nazis. Now the poles in Galicia are taking a shot at Russia once again.
It is interesting that Ukrainian supposed nazis say they have no problem with the jews in Ukraine, big suprise as Yats "he is our guy is jewish". It was by the way the same in Germany as Hitler was a Rothschild and was of the haplong Y-DNA gene E1B1B1 which is khazar and used by jews the world over to recognize themselves and that includes the jews in Japan, the royal family. You remember them Hitler's allies and they helped invade china and replace the last emporer.
According to stazi documents Merkel was produced by frozen Hitler sperm. The pioneer of this was Clausberg, who was finally let out of soviet prisons when he produced the evidence that Hitler had frozen some sperm. Merkel is his daughter and was immideatley take over by the catholic church when east Germany fell. Her supposed "Lutheran" parents had amazing rights to go back and forth from east germany to west Germany. Amazing coincidence huh?
Now she is being considered for the next EU president even though she obviously is not a very bright woman. ....... amazing coincidence huh?
Hitler played chess with Stalin at the Tavistock institute. They were opposite sides of the coin. Hitler and Stalin were British agents.
If you want to know the truth discard everything you have been told up to this point. You parents were brainwashed and so were your teachers.
huh?
"Poland and the baltics are catholic controlled and consider themselves nazis. "
That takes the cake for idiocy today, mick. Congrats.
Hot damn! My motto:
"I never met a conspiracy I didn't like!"
This is a blue diamond. It has book potential, Hollywood, not so much, wrong crowd. Just damn!
the best part of your insanities is where you write that Angela Merkel is "being considered for the next EU president"... as if that was a position of moar power than being the Chancellor of Germany
anyway, Prince Bismark's advice is still sound and explains the German (and EU consensus) position: don't poke the Bear
That piece on Merkel and the frozen Hitler sperm is the most interesting rumor I have read in a while.
The last one was that Jimmy Carter is a Kennedy baby.
Joe Senior supposedly knocked up his secretary, the future Lillian Carter, and then sent her back to Georgia to have the baby.
So there have actually been two Kennedy's in the White House.
Not that I believe it but it is good for a laugh.
Whenever America sanctions Russia, we know that Russia is winning or doing something right. If the US state department praises someone or something, we know things are fishy or crappy
I have been saying for a long, long time that the US was the bully in the sand box, and finally the bullied have organized and found a way to no longer be beaten.
Plain ans simple.
Da! Kremlin pay you very well, Comrade.

THOUGHTS? I'M TRYING TO BE CLAUSEWITZ ANALYST OVER HERE, BUT I KNOW I'M SORELY LACKING.------READ ON IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN A POLICTICAL MILITARY ECONOMIC ANALYSIS. AND PLEASE CRITIQUE!
exxon bp and shell are all investing in russia billions of dollars, ---while it IS possible these investments are largely speculative and possibly being made for NONapparent reasons such as spying--and access to trade secrets about russian business practices in the energy sector THAT IS UNLIKELY. THERE IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH MONEY AT STAKE HERE.
ARE EXXON AND SHELL WILLING TO LOSE MANY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ----YES, THEY TAKE RISKS.
ARE THEY LONG TERM CAPITAL MANAGMENT HEDGE FUNDS? NO. THEY DON'T GAMBLE ON INVESTING IN RUSSIA HOPING THAT THE U.S. MILITARY WILL START WORLD WAR 3 TO BAIL THEM OUT.
CONCLUSION; THEY ARE GOING TO MAKE MONEY WITH PUTIN WHILE THE U.S. ATTEMPT AT FUCKING RUSSIA OVER FAILS MISERABLY.
OBAMA'S STATE DEPARTMENT IS ON IT'S LAST LEGS AND HE IS A LAME DUCK. THIS ANTI-RUSSIA STUFF IS NONSENSE THEATRE , AND PERHAPS ALWYAS A GOOD EXCUSE FOR THE DH-NSA TO UP THE RUBRIC ON CNN ABOUT NEEDING TO SPY ON AMERICANS. OTHERWISE----THEATRE.
UKRAINE IS THE REAL WAR. ----THE WAR FOR PIPELINES IN EUROPE.
IT DOES HOWEVER SEEM ODD THAT EXXON AND SHELL WOULD BE INVESTING IN RUSSIA WHILE THE U.S. MILITARY SIMLY UPS THE ANTE IN UKRAINE. AS THE U.S. MILITARY IS TO AN EXTENT AN EXTENSION OF THE LARGE OIL COMPANIES AS MUCH AS IT IS THE FEDERAL RESERVE CARTEL DUE TO THE FACT THAT OIL&GAS, NOT GOLD, IS THE RESERVE ASSET OF THE 21ST CENTURY.
SO WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS? WELL THEY DO IT EVERYWHERE, LOOK AT VENZUALA.
THEY PUT THEIR TENTACLES IN TAKING THE RISK THEY LOSE MONEY ON THE FRONT END , HOPING TO MAKE IT UP LATER USING WAR OR OTHER LONG TERM MEANS.
SO -----SIDE CONCLUSIONS; THEY MIGHT BE OK WITH ACTUAL WAR WITH RUSSIA, THEY HAVE NO CHOICE AND ARE DESPERATE .
EITHER WAY, PUTIN SEEMS HAPPY TO TAKE THEIR MONEY.
I THINK IT'S MORE COMPLEX THAN MERELY ARGUING THAT HE IS WITH THE NWO . HE IS AND HE ISN'T , JUST LIKE MANY DICTATORS WILL PLAY UP TO WESTERN HEGEMONISTS. POST SOVIET RUSSIA IS REDEFINING ITSELF, AND DESPITE POSSIBLE CONSPIRACIES ABOUT HOW PUTIN IS GOING TO PLAY HIS HAND----IT SEEMS APPARENT RUSSIA IS RESTAKING ITS INDEPENDENCE AS A FULL FUNCTIONING AND RE-RISING SUPERPOWER.
IT'S MORE POWERFUL THAN ANY SINGLE COUNTRY IN EUROPE , FAR MORE THAN FRANCE . IT'S PROBABLY MORE POWERFUL THAN THE U.K.
IT'S CERTAINLY MORE POWERFUL THAN GERMANY AS IT DOESN'T HAVE A U.S. ARMY OCCUPYING IT WITH 50K PEOPLE.
SO MAYBE-----EXXON AND SHELL ARE JUST DESPERATE AND THE REAL POLICY IS IN FACT THE MILITARY STATECRAFT POLICIES GOING ON ---WITH THE REAL PUSH BEING UKRAINE ISOLATION. IF THAT DOENS'T WORK OUT, PERHAPS THE PLAN IS FOR EXON AND SHELL TO PLAY LAPDOG TO PUTIN WHILE THEY FILL HIS OFFSHORE BANK ACCOUNTS . AND INEVITABLY, AFTER ENOUGH TIME, THEY LOSE THEIR INVESTMEENTS WHEN RUSSIA DECIDES TO FUCK THEM OVER.
SHELL isc Anglo-Dutch not American

Funny how the Democrats have their playbook. FDR used sanctions on Japan to force it into war, metals and oil wasn't it ? So the Japanese had to go for Indonesia. Well Putin has enough metals and oil, and he has a large land mass in Western Europe to trade with.
Now that theskeletons are falling out of the locker in London Coming Out Parties for Politicians, the US decided to replace Hague The Vague with Hammond, its NATO puppet who will be as useless a bag boy as Hague.
The world is moving on its axis and the only hope for US/UK is to generate another major war, but they need to keep their population docile before and after many of them die.
This is the Global Correction, the RESET. When did Wealth move from being Equity to Debt ? From Capital to Debt Capacity ?
Western Europe has nothing to trade.
France
not sure we still tradable... ( france plane gonna hit the ground soon imho ) artificially maintained for years now.
Not to worry, all Western countries are in equally bad shape. None can maintain their spending but are forced to, or, face upheavals. I think it may be inevitable. I do not understand why the citizens have ceded their sovereignties to Brussels. It has lasted longer than I thought.
But we have gold :D
Sarko didn"t give everything i hope ...
sure. Western Europe is just still the world champion in trade, including with China, and you write "WE has nothing to trade"
Putin doesn't understand. Obama would love to screw over Exxon and the oil companies.
Not really. It is a test of loyalty. Other oil companies though would jump at the opportunity to smash companies siding with Russia.
Not as long as King Rockefeller has the Bilderbergers by the balls. I'm paranoid that this may be staged, if not, the Obomb is stupid, I mean Ron White stupid, can't fix it.
'Americans' expect the sanctions to boomerang. It is an element of the procedure.
This is how they work: parting people into 'americans' and those who are not. They are clarifying the situation.
People who are not going to be affected by these sanctions. Nothing to draw from them, they are out of the game.
People who are going to be affected by these sanctions, the alternative is simple: either they take their loss for the 'american' team or they join the other team, meaning they are open season for other 'americans' to loot.
Putin still does not seem to get it: 'americans' have combed the world and they are in a position now they can only thieve from themselves.
'Americans' will gladly hear the news of russian sympathetizers from within as it means they are legitimate targets. And certainly richer than the $2 per day crowd.
Putin keeps providing what 'americans' want. 'Americans' want to sniff out people among themselves whose loyalty is doubtful? Putin is taking measures to ensure people are picking their sides.
With enemies like Putin, you need no friend.

Vlad: "Checkmate."

The only logical conclusion is that Obumble represents people in hidden places of power who wish to create maximum conflict and chaos. Hedge accordingly. Barbarous times call for barbaric countermeasures.
be wise, sage & act with surge.
power is nothing without control.
barbarians mode is done, so the US.
You are dead on correct Lat. They are not stupid, just extremely evil. It would not phase me the least to know that Bama and Put are on the phone at night laughing it up.

I grew up as an extremely patriotic military brat in the cold warand remianed that way until 2008 (I wasn't paying attention)...today I'd cheer if Russia nuked DC and their personal escape enclaves.
The U.S. government is enlarging its world-wide image as the "World's Bully".
And everyone knows how most people feel about a BULLY: They can't wait until someone kicks the bully's ass !!!!!
Will Russia and China be that someone?
Perhaps... simply by refusing all commercial deals denominated in U.S. dollars (Federal Reserve Notes) and/or cashing in all Russian-held U.S. Treasury Bonds?
What do you think the US is driven by in creating all this mess throughout the globe? Ambiton? Fear of losing their hegemony? Struggle for energy resources? Feeling of exeptionalism? Or simply ineptitude, a refusal to admit the simple fact that there are contries in the world which simply won't be dictated what to do?
The PTB need massive depoulation of the planet.

Finally! Carbon Tax Gone – Australia gets rid of a price on carbon
http://joannenova.com.au/2014/07/carbon-tax-gone-australia-first-country-to-get-rid-of-a-price-on-carbon/
As of today, Australia no longer has the most expensive “carbon” price in the world. The voters didn’t ask for a tax in 2010, but it was forced on them in 2011. They rejected it wholeheartedly in 2013 but it still has taken months to start unwinding this completely pointless piece of symbolism which aimed to change the weather. The machinery of democracy may be slow, but this is a win for voters.
11:15am EST today: The Australian Senate passes the carbon tax repeal bill.
“Australia has become the first country in the world to abolish a price on carbon, with the Senate passing the Abbott government’s repeal bills 39 votes to 32.“ SMH
Now we need to turn off the tap to all the other green gravy rent-seekers who ignore the evidence.

Putin is reading the same script as the rest of the players. The energy controllers would like nothing more than to split the price of energy from the dollar, then shoot the price of energy into orbit so they can control all human actiivity. He's just setting up the shot. Artificial scarcity is TPTB standard operating procedure. Gold, food, fuel, privacy, water... air.

Yes, moar skoolin from Perfessirs Obama, Warren, Krugwom, Rice etc. is the anser. ><
What Putin perhaps doesn't understand is that the damage to America IS OBAMA's INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE SANCTIONS (not damage to Russia).
International banksters are the real scum. They know no international boundaries and will at the right time back and support BRICS while they jump the sinking ship (USA/Europe world bank and IMF). Maybe they've jumped ship already for any excuse to kickoff the great reset (World war 3).
