"US Will Feel Tangible Losses," Russia Prepares To Unleash Retaliatory Trade Wars

Tyler Durden's picture




 

"It's a troubling continuation/expansion of trade as a geopolitical tool," warns one Washington-based consulting firm as Russia prepares to unleash retaliatory actions to US and European sanctions. As Bloomberg reports, Russia said yesterday it may ban imports of chicken from the U.S. and fruit from Europe and is investigating McDonald's cheese for safety. In addition, a Russian lawmaker has drafted legislation that might result in U.S. accounting firms being barred from doing business in his country. All of this is odd given Jack "trust me" Lew's reassurance that Russian sanctions would have no impact on the US economy. Russia's response, US will feel 'tangible losses' from 'destructive, myopic' sanctions.

 

As Bloomberg reports, while Russia and the U.S. have long sparred over agricultural trade, the actions fueled speculation they could be retaliatory.

Russia’s food safety agency said it may ban imports of U.S. poultry and some European fruit due to contamination of the products, according Bloomberg BNA, citing Russian state media. The food safety agency, known as Rosselkhoznadzor, also said it will examine suppliers of McDonald’s cheese for their use of antibiotics.

 

Russia was the second-largest market, after Mexico, for U.S. chicken last year, according to the USA Poultry & Egg Export Council. The U.S. exported about $309 million worth of broiler chickens to Russia last year, according to the council.

 

Russia, which joined the World Trade Organization in 2012, is considering banning some European fruit that includes seeds and pits from the entire EU or from bloc’s individual member countries, said Alexei Alekseenko, an aide to Rosselkhoznadzor director Sergei Dankvert, BNA reported.

 

Fruit shipments from the EU have recently contained Oriental fruit moths, he said, according to the Russian news agency RIA. He proposed talks with EU suppliers over the issue.

Seems like that would impact the US and European economy...

“This is not a surprise,” Mike Cockrell, chief financial officer at Sanderson Farms Inc. (SAFM) of Laurel, Mississippi, said by phone. “It’s not unusual for Russia to find something wrong when they have a political reason to do so.”

 

Officials from McDonald’s, based in Oak Brook, Illinois, didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Russia explained these are not anti-US sanctions...

“These are not sanctions against U.S. We don’t have a goal to harm U.S. citizens’ quality of life,” Fedorov said. “There are companies in Russia which have sensitive positions in terms of Russia’s sovereignty and economic security.”

 

Fedorov said consulting firms and audit firms will be the first to be targeted by the new bill. Next will be U.S. media, he said.

And Russia issued a statement that US will feel 'tangible losses' from 'destructive, myopic' sanctions.

We have repeatedly spoken about the illegitimacy and groundlessness of the US sanctions against Russia. Washington will gain nothing from such decisions except for further complication of Russian-American relations and the creation of an unfavorable atmosphere in international affairs, where the cooperation between our countries often plays a key role.

 

The U.S. administration, strained creating the appearance of "sequence" in its current behavior, in fact, is merely trying to avoid responsibility for the tragic developments in Ukraine. Not Russia, and Kiev regime and its overseas patrons guilty of a growing number of civilian casualties in the eastern regions. In his pompous manner prosecutorial White House, covering the bloody military operation of Kiev, which contrary to all international norms sunk to rocket attacks peaceful cities, continues to put forward baseless claims against us.

 

One gets the impression that the U.S. sanctions pressure, transformed now at sectoral level, has one goal - to get even with us for an independent and uncomfortable for Washington politics. Please also note the obvious elements of unscrupulous trade and economic competition in the U.S. actions.

The losses that Washington will sustain from such a destructive and myopic policy will be very tangible

US officials are not happy...

“Assuming that they take this action, it would be blatant protectionism,” Clayton Yeutter, a U.S. Trade Representative under President Ronald Reagan, said in a phone interview. “There is little or no legitimacy to their complaints.”

Putin warned of boomerangs... and sure enough here they come...

  • *EU ENERGY SANCTIONS `IRRESPONSIBLE' STEP, RUSSIA SAYS
  • *EU ENERGY SANCTIONS TO CAUSE PRICE INCREASE IN EUROPE: RUSSIA
  • *RUSSIA TO WEIGH `UNCONSTRUCTIVE' EU ATTITUDE IN FUTURE TIES
  • *EU BANKS WORKING IN RUSSIA MKT TO SUFFER FROM SANCTIONS: RUSSIA

And France is screwed...

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said Wednesday that Russia has the capability to build Mistral-class helicopter carriers on its own if France cancels the existing contract, RIA Novosti reported. “The French must prove they are serious partners and reliable contractors,” Rogozin said after a meeting between President Vladimir Putin and government ministers.

 

“If they fail to do so, we will build the [Mistral] ships on our own. We are finally capable to do it,” Rogozin said. On Monday, he expressed doubts that France would cancel the contract, which he said would be worse for France than for Russia.

And it seems Russia is not as isolated as President Obama would like everyone to think...

At best Ukraine becomes a failed state which descends into chaos, at worst it becomes a hostile state toward Russia. The Russian government is trying to prevent this by putting Russian interests first. It seems to me the US government can learn a few things from the Russian government. But what do I hear today when I turn on USSA state media? Senator Ron Johnson claiming Putin is a megalomaniac. Is that what they call politicians with high approval ratings these days? Does Ron Johnson yearn for credibility? The kind of credibility that exceeds a 15% approval rating?

Numbers are meaningless if you do not control the corporations.

  • Love Canal was not a bunch of Bubbas changing their oil.
  • Fukushima was not a kid's science experiment
  • GMO's are not some backyard horticulturalist achievement

Face it, for most people want to "be in balance with Nature", Nature is a Discovery Channel special or a well-groomed park. They find the real thing scary an hateful.

The Georgia Guidestones stuff is an insidious lie to begin with. How do you propose to keep people "in perpetual balance with Nature" without establishing absolute control of humanity? How do you expect to maintain control when the science underlying it is based on lies (e..g. "climate science")?

Even the world population is suspect, IMO. It is based on actuarial tables - but from what era? the 1960s? How can we say the population is increasing when a substantial portion of the world is below population replacement birth rates?

Why does the debate focus exclusively on the numbers of people and not on the actions of institutions?

Look up  Stoli, its owned by a dual citizen hiding out in London, Russian Govt took them to court over the name and lost, cause the courts were western lol, figures.

Its not Russian any more, I dont buy it, it was stolen during privatization.

Why? It's a twisted tale, but the Russian government claims the brand was stolen. In 1992, the state agency that ran the Soviet-era vodka export monopoly was privatized (the government alleges illegally), and then, in 1997, it sold Stolichnaya and 42 other vodka brands to S.P.I. for only $300,000. The deal wasn't sanctioned by the government, and S.P.I's founder, Yuri Shefler, also headed the company that sold the other brands. In 2002, a Russian court overturned the transaction. Shefler, who lives in Switzerland, faces arrest if he returns to Russia

http://www.local10.com/news/vodka-magnates-super-yacht-sparkles-in-bisca...

Yuri is a member of the criminal syndicate, he is on the list, use the find feature of your browser and type yuri

http://www.intmensorg.info/jewishbillionaires.htm

guess he recently bought a 75 million dollar pad in Malibu

http://www.mdrcondos.com/yuri-shefler-may-have-purchased-the-malibu-esta...

The thievieing capacity of this cartel knows no bounds.

Not bad 300 thousand dollar theft grows to 300 million dollar yacht plus 75 million malibu beach pad plus the London place and swiss hideout, of course there is a tel aviv one too thats on the hush hush.

Grow your money exponentially.  Just like AIPAC gives 20 million in campaign contributions for the year to buy over 8 billion dollars a year in money for Israel.  I tell you the formula works.  Its bribery, corruption and theft.  Also dont forget that money also buys lucrative contracts for dual citizen businesses and monopolies in the USA.

The moment all the superich get on their megayachts and head out for the middle of the pacific or atlantic oceans you know ww3 is about to go down.  They will sit out the insanity as far away from the masses as they can get. Those boats can be parked in the middle of the ocean and be self sufficient for at least a few months with all their tanks topped off.  And you can be sure they will take another ship stuffed full of fuel to act as a mini tanker.  Well provisioned they wont come back to shore for a good year.  By then the radiation levels should of come down.  This is another reason why the superich buy megayachts,  you can be sure they are well armed and in the middle of the ocean are a much safer place to be than the on land if a war or epidemic happens.

You must be a Bureaucrat. Noone else could think the US can export LNG......it has no terminals. LNG comes from Qatar but there are not enough terminals in Europe to replace pipeline gas. Germany has a $50 billion Take Or Pay Contract so it will take Russian gas for the next 20 years.

As for the USA - please export your gas so it can rise to World Market Prices inside the USA. We in Europe pay 300% US prices for gas so let The Law of One Price prevail and hike US prices for energy to World Market levels

I bet Russian economists have already worked out the consequences of a 200% increase in US gas prices plus gasoline increases. Wait until Americans face European cost of living

Question is not how much there is, question is cost of production and cost of transport. Nobody argues the world is not rich in fossil fuels. But if you look at fracking and tar sands mining, these are market proofs that cheap energy is already mined and pumped. Reserves should always be noted only by how much and at what cost to produce. I know from markets that this gas can not be cheap to produce, if it was, then it would be where the extracting whould be happening and not in ND and Tar Sands. But it is an interesting claim, worth looking into, I hope I can find a production estimate and cost.

What is this East Ukraine conflict REALLY about, and why is Obama trying so diligently to provoke the Russians into a war?

Is there something (i.e., information) Edward Snowden came across and divulged to Putin that Obama does not want the world to know (which the NSA knows Snowden provided to Putin) ???

...so Obama tries to talk tough to the world as though he has leverage over Putin (even though he does not have any)

The behavior of this White House and the attempt to re-enact the Cold War is VERY,VERY STRANGE these days. 

Why right now and why are propaganda tidbits fed to the mainstream/leftist-biased media every day? 

Is there another existential threat to Obama, such as Lois Lerner e-mails being recovered and showing Nixon-esque conspiracy?? 

It is not like the White House's current behavior has any chance to save the Democrats in the Senate.  The White House is also not going to get the Mexican border disaster out of the news (new poll: 67% of legal Latino-American citizens want the illegals sent home).

Carl,

You ask the very best questions. You are not alone, many people are rushing to try and make out what this is all about and what force inside American "Deep State" is driving it. Nobody knows yet. The best I heard was one very experienced Russia expert say that "Somebody inside the administration or with power over the administration is desperate to forment a war with Russia and as fast as possible".

This makes little sense on the surface. The war fever came out of nowhere really. Just a year ago the USA was almost launching a war on Iran, then it was minutes away from launching war on Syria. ISIS has taken half of Iraq and the USA does nothing.

All these actions make no sense. When the USA began backing Al-Qaeda with arms and money in Syria, and spent 5 billion courting the readical right wing nationalists of West Ukraine, nazis by anyother name, what was this all about?

Right now, there are more questions than answers. But some insiders in the Russian political system have made public their beliefs that the USA really is seeking an all out war with Russia before the onset of winter. Obama is not president, he has no power, does anyone think these are policies he made up? No way! He is being directed by the "deep State". Those who rule the NSA, CIA, Pentagon, the major banks and corporations, plus the one and all powerful Israeli lobby and direct Israeli control of congress. Look at congress if they do not meet every Jewish or Israeli demand whether from an American Jew or an Israeli, they are thrown from office by millions of dollars of political and media smear.

Who is driving this war. I wish I knew, if I find out, I will post it here, but don't hold your breath!

If anything, the US could stand to do a little protectionism of its own instead of outsourcing itself to death. The illusion of "free trade". And I'm pretty sure that the orange stuff McDonald's claims as cheese is nothing but the  leftovers from the yoga mat factory, so they have every right not to be forced to eat that stuff. And getting cut off from Stoli and Russki Standard? It's not worth it!!!

Wouldn't it be more than ironic that Russia becomes GMO free, with more gold-based exchange. Who knew it'd become the healty libertarians' dream?

As for the US-Mexico analogy, I'd imagine the americans being fairly unsympathetic, either suggesting "get your ass back here" or "you knew it was coming sooner or later".

Not trying to thread jack but this is critical information everybody on the planet needs to be aware of in regards to Ebola:

The reality is Ebola is not going to be contained?  Why because it will become a Sexually Transmitted Disease!!!

The isolation of EBOV from semen 40 days after the onset of illness underscores the risk of sexual transmission of the filoviruses during convalescence. Zaire EBOV has been detected in the semen of convalescent patients by virus isolation (82 days) and RT-PCR (91 days) after disease onset. Marburg virus has also been isolated from the semen and linked conclusively to sexual transmission 13 weeks into convalescence.

http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/196/Supplement_2/S142.full

I suspect it has already entered the sexual community and sex trade workers.  Condoms WILL NOT SUFFICE, only ABSTAINING!

However people MUST stockpile and have on hand Selenium - taken in larger doses it will greatly reduce the odds of passing away if they do become infected.

They can still contain Ebola...

 

Nuke Lagos...They are all dead anyway. The population density is much too great and transmission rates will be extreme.

 

And it needs to be done before people start fleeing in droves.

 

Once that happens it is too late.

 

If you do not believe that this is on the table and being considered as an option then you are dreaming.

 

China will be next on the list as their Nationals will bring it to China. They have many business interests in Nigeria and Africa.

 

And speaking of Population Density...China's people are stacked on top of one another. It will devastate China.

 

We have a small window of opportunity. It is closing rapidly.

 

They will stage a False Flag Terror attack in Lagos. That will be the expedient method of doing the Dirty Deed.

 

It is cold, cruel, and necessary.

 

Is the sacrifice of 40 Million worth saving 6.3 Billion?

 

You can downarrow this if you please as it is abhorrent. But it is expedient.

 

The first case that occurs on the Asian Contienent will be the decisive moment.

That article you linked, Truthseeker2:

"How could the controllers in Washington (and NYC) and London have been so clueless as to the profound and pervasive repercussions, should their foolish scheme fall apart?"

They are NOT "clueless," they are criminally insane. For thousands of years, human civilizations have been controlled through lies backed by violence. The political economy was built on that foundation. The people who currently dominate the Anglo-American (Zionist) Empire were the best at backing up deceits with destruction. However, there is nothing in the history of that which requires them to continue to be rational. Rather, they tend to believe in childish superstitions, while their historical ability to have been the best organized gangs of criminals, able to capture control over governments, through applying the methods of organized crime to the political processes, does NOT mean that they are still remotely rational, but only that they used to be the best professional liars and immaculate hypocrites.

Overall, it is NOT possible to fully comprehend the degree to which pumping up social pyramid systems based on lies backed by violence with technologies that have become trillions of times more powerful has created a global civilization that has become criminally insane, while it is still dominated by the most criminally insane people. They merely have their own psychological and political HABITS, which were selected through thousands of years of human history to become the maximum possible deceits and frauds. There is a growing Grand Canyon between the exponential progress in science and technology, inside of social systems based on thousands of years of history of being able to back up lies with violence, which had selected for the people who were the best at doing that to be able to come to dominate a globalized civilization BASED ON ENFORCED FRAUDS.

Meanwhile, countries like Russia and China were forced to learn the tricks of the Anglo-American (Zionist) Empire. However, that meant that their growing ability to compete with the previously dominate global empire of the best organized gangs of criminals required them to become similar kinds of organized criminals, in order to be able to operate better resistance, within the dynamic equilibria of the different systems of organized lies, operating robberies. However, ALL of them are basically social pyramid systems, base on lies, backed by violence, which have become runaway criminal insanities.

ENFORCED FRAUDS, despite almost totally dominating society, and dominating the ways that almost everyone thinks and behaves, are nevertheless runaway criminal insanities. As far as I can tell, the criminal insanity of the ruling classes runs throughout the lower levels of those they rule over. We ARE like fish swimming our whole lives through the social waters of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, while those automatically became more criminally insane, due to the inherent contradictions of that situation being continually pumped up and up ... BOTH THE RULING CLASSES, AND THOSE THEY RULE OVER, HAVE LIVED FOR GENERATION AFTER GENERATION INSIDE SYSTEMS OF ENFORCED FRAUDS, WHOSE "SUCCESS" HAS DRIVEN THEM TO BECOME CRIMINALLY INSANE!

The Western banksters have been able to persuade pretty well everyone to deliberately ignore the basic laws of nature, or to misunderstand those laws of nature backwards, since the oldest and best developed human science was warfare, while economics was built on that foundation. THERE IS NO RATIONAL LIMIT TO WHAT THE BANKSTERS WOULD ATTEMPT TO DO TO CONTINUE TO CONTROL THE WORLD IN THOSE WAYS:

http://www.thecactusland.com/2014/07/the-seven-pillars-of-matrix.html

... Money is the most brilliant accomplishment of ["human farming."] Billions of people spend most of their waking lives either acquiring it or spending it without ever understanding what it actually is. In this hologram of a world, the only thing one can do without money is breath. For almost every other human activity they want currency, from eating and drinking to clothing oneself and finding a partner. Religion came from innate spirituality and patriotism from the tribe, but money the ["human farmers"] invented themselves - the most fantastic and effective of all their tools of domestication.

They have convinced the slaves that money actually has some intrinsic value, since at some point in the past it actually did. Once they were finally able to disconnect money completely from anything other than their computers, they finally took complete control, locked the last gate and electrified all the fences. They ingeniously print it up out of the nothing and loan it with interest in order for 18-year-olds to spend four years drinking and memorizing propaganda as they begin a financial indebtedness that will most likely never end.

By the time the typical American is thirty the debt is mounted so high that they abandon any hope of ever being free of it and embrace their mortgages, credit cards, student loans and car loans as gifts from a sugar daddy. What they rarely ask themselves is why they must work to make money while banks can simply create it with a few key strokes. If they printed out notes on their own printers, and loaned those with interest to their neighbors, they would wind up in a penitentiary, but not our friends on Wall Street - they do just that and wind up pulling the strings in the White House. The genius of the money scam is how obvious it is. When people are told that banks create money out of nothing and are paid interest for it the good folks are left incredulous. “It can't be that simple!" And therein lies the rub - no one wants to believe that they have been enslaved so easily ...

THE MASSES OF ZOMBIE SHEEPLE, WHO HAVE BEEN FLEECED TO EXHAUSTION, ARE BEING SET UP TO BE SLAUGHTERED. IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT IS RUNAWAY CRIMINAL INSANITY, IT IS NEVERTHELESS THE REAL PATH THAT WE ARE ON!

"...the main role in the creation of such a political coalition is to be played by the European business community because America’s attempts to ignite a war in Europe and a cold war against Russia are threatening the interests of big European business."

"Judging by the recent efforts to stop the sanctions against Russia, made by the German, French, Italian and Austrian business leaders, Putin’s aide is right in his assessment."

"Somewhat surprisingly for Washington, the war for Ukraine may soon become the war for Europe’s independence from the US and a war against the dollar."

insanelysane:  It's easy to burn a match.  It's not so easy to get all the ash and smoke and turn it back into a match.  Are any of them Detroit factories still in working condition?  What about all the people that used to work there?  Are they still skilled and ready to go?  I got no idea what resources are local to US and what yous have to import but there's your first task.  Then rebuild your factories and skill up your workforce.  Even your simplest tasks can be done five times faster by an expert.  But the learning curve can be quick.

Of course, all that rebuilding and re-skilling costs money, which no-one has so now we can have a good laugh about how unemployed people are homeless because they don't have the skills or parts with which to make a house, which is a shame because otherwise they would all have jobs building houses for each other.  They can't get the parts or the skills because they haven't got any money with which to get those parts and skills.  This can lead to a wonderful little bit of enlightenment about the true role of money in the world - you got labour and parts but no-one can work for a living because they have no money!  Have a little think about it.

Now, assuming that you rebuild the factories and reskill the workforce, all that is left is costs.  Tariffs can stop people from being tempted to buy stuff cheap from overseas (apart from the black market types) but why can't the US just build stuff cheaper?  Well, eventually someone is going to mention that to make that happen, people are just going to have to be paid less.  And if the workers have any brains, at that point they will point out that they could easily withstand being paid less if everything else cost less - cars, I mean bicycles, food, clothes, HOUSES and all real estate because, face it, the reason everything else has to cost so much is to pay the mortgage on the land on which the shop, supermarket and factory sits.  You think you got a huge mortgage?  What about the supermarket and factory owners?  (errr, or their would-be competitors.  I hear the big chains get 'special' treatment ...)  For the US to truly get competitive, sooner or later the price of land has to go down.  And land owners don't like that idea.  And banksters, who love to use the 'value' of land as collateral for everything and proof that they are solvent, also do not like that idea.

That is what you are up against.

What they're up against is the same old cyclical scam that even after successful fusions with World War, can probably only last so long before another World War or DUMB goy trying to do away with it.  (Instead of seeking to be incorporated in it closer to the top of the pyramid scheme.)

There is nothing surprising in a Goy nation falling under the domination of the Jewish print. .... I propose to give you a few quotations that canNOT, I think, by any stretch of imagination, in fact, cannot by any stretch of anything, save the infinite impertinence of the Yid, be considered Axis propaganda. In fact, I propose to quote an ANTI-Fascist paper printed in England on October 14th, 1939. And then await the SILENCE which greets all unanswerable data in your unhappy land. The passages I’m about to read were gathered together by L.D. Byrne on the date indicated, 1939. QUOTE:

Just as I told them in Ottawa in 1923, exactly what was going to happen in 1928, so I tell you now in 1934, that before 1940 if you have not changed your financial system, it will change and probably eliminate you.

That was Major C.H. Douglas in the Alberta legislature, April, 1934. Next quote.

As I came here tonight I bought an evening paper, on the front page of which were the words “Germans in the Rhineland.” We are back in 1914 where the financiers said they would get us.

Douglas in Westminster, March 1936. Next quote:

For 20 years the Social Credit movement … has persistently warned people that in the absence of effective and timely reform of the financial system, that system would precipitate war and revolution on a scale which might destroy the fabric of civilized society

That is from Byrne himself, who next quotes Thomas Jefferson:

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

....Again quote:

I have two great enemies, the Southern army in front of me and the financial institutions in the rear. Of the two the one in the rear is my greatest foe.

That was Abraham Lincoln. Quote, that is again quote:

The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces as public enemies all who question its methods, or throw light upon its crimes.

That was William J. Bryan, and I trust Mr. Ullstein or Isaac Schmollensnout or his makeup editor or his printer devil is served.

As to whether Jefferson, Lincoln, Bryan and L.D. Byrne were engaged in offering Axis propaganda, I leave it to the remaining British denizens of Britain and the United States to decide.

It is time; it has been time for the past 30 or 80 years for the people of England and America to understand the war process. To understand that they have been edged into war NOT pro patria, not for their father’s land or their nation, BUT for the profit of a few scoundrels and for an ENEMY, an enemy that desires to cast down from their seats all the mighty, and all the orderly, to cast down every nation that exists openly, every government that exists OPENLY pro bono publico, for the people.

 

Now it's time for a war again, one way or another.  Provided that the goy stay stupid and never wonder exactly what Jack Lew's and Greenspan's and Bernkanke's Talmudic traditions entail.  They heard about Donald Sterling's version of it, vaguely.  Sort of.  Sort of like Donald "It's just my culture." Sterling himself only vaguely knows about Jewish supremacy, ethnic networking and tribalism based on "everyone is out to get us!!!  Everyone!!!  Quick, form a tribe or somethin' to police them or detain or assassinate them without trial first...."  Note the jarring juxtapositions that are created by cultures that people have absorbed by osmosis.  What if sixeteeen year old Jewish kids were being assassinated without trial?  Would Jack Lew, Rahm Immanuel, Charles Schumer and others have something to say about "due process"?  

Probably. 

In any event most goy are, like Arab goyim, still DUMB... and so they perish or are incorporated in wars that create more debt/money for their children to pay back.  There is a mind bending amount of stupidity and ignorance among the goyim that almost justifies the disdain with which many Talmudists view them while making a killnig on them. 

Almost.

By "I fucking hate Americans", you can't possible mean its "sheeple", since every country has its share and American sheeple don't bother anyone.  So, you must refer to the sociopath assholes who've hijacked our media, government and many corporate board rooms.  And, in the process, have turned our free-market system into a crony, casino capitalism, where Mafiosa Oligarchs rule.

Sanctions have long been a tool of nations against other nations, usually as a prelude to war.  However, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson after WWI came to believe sanctions alone could be a “deadly force” in affecting change in other nations, stating:

“A nation boycotted is a nation that is in sight of surrender. Apply this economic, peaceful, silent, deadly remedy and there will be no need for force. It is a terrible remedy. It does not cost a life outside the nation boycotted, but it brings pressure upon the nation that, in my judgment, no modern nation could resist.”

 

 - A History of Failures: Sanctions

 

Never any sanctions on Israel, though of course.  Not after the Lavon Affair, or the USS Liberty incident... I'd throw in the Marine barracks bombing and so would one or two others...  not after announcing new settlements the day/before/after the arrival of us officials trying to pretend to broker peace talks, not after the massive spy ring was broken up before, during, and after 9/11, and not when there's good evidence a network of Jewish traitors and Israeli spies using diplomati bags/cover stole US nuclear material - a smuggling ring that pretty much definitely involved Netanyahu...and not when US missile technology ends up in Chinese hands via Israel, and not when Israel tried to sell nukes to South Africa, or faked evidence about Iraqi WMDs, or posed as CIA agents when working with terrorists in Iran...

 

and on top of it all, you have unanimous House and Senate votes in support of Israel's "right"  to kill hundreds in retalian for rockets that killed 3, fired in response to multiple bombing runs by fighter jets that killed over a dozen, plus house demolitions, mass arrests, and police beatings of Palestinian children all stemming from the kidnapping of 3 Jew settler colonialists which Israel knew Hamas did not do, but they used it as a pretext to avoid a potential Palestinian unity government and the added subsequent pressure to engage in meaningful peace talks [with an eye to ending apartheid settlement building and the illegal occupation] that would bring.

But Russia allegedly is arming rebels who are certainly being murdered by Washington's puppet regime in Kiev - a country on its own border, an area formerly part of Russia proper....  but The US is sanctioning them.  No evidence provided for that, just as no real evidence was provided for the idea they shot down the jetliner.

If you put it in a novel, no one would be able to take it seriously - it seems too far-fetched, and would seem to rely on a completely complicit .gov, press, and a fucking idiotic public.

And sanctions rarely work because entrepeneurs will break them with ease,

Product I  supplied to Atlas Aircraft in South Africa, I knew damn well was going to

Rhodesia. Then when S. Africa was sanctioned, I suddenly started selling things in

Mozambique, where no market existed.I had to use Israeli plywood on an order going

to Libya once, during the height of the Arab embargo, as my regular supply from Gabune

had dried up.

Where there is a will ,there is a way.

On a historical note, Zionists used a boycott/sanctions against Germany but then gave it up when they got the Transfer Agreement from other racial supremacists out of it.

So generally poor Jewish peasants were left for the "FEMA" camps where many would eventually starve just like poor Germans themselves did when they began to lose the war thanks to Team America, "F yeah!" entering the war.  They even laid the foundation for a Pentagon that would be struck sixty years later to the day of its Talmudic/Masonic foundation on 911. "Time for war, F, yeah!  Let's borrow some more ponzi into existence from Jewish bankers, out of nothing, in order to finance it too!  Great idea, boys!" Etc. 

The Greatest Generation and the one Good War, justified by Pearl Harbor...  which is why people that wanted another war created on time needed "another Pearl Harbor" in order to generate it.  But what are they going to do now that wars are not being created on time?

Anyway, the downside to the Greatest Generation is that the West would later have to deal with Soros and the Jewish Left playing pretend with their rainbows with  Madeline Albright saying that starving to death 500,000 Iraqi children was a price that was "worth it" in the background.  That was before Zionists wanted to go check everyone's underpants for WMDs in Iraq and after John "I'm Jewish too!" Kerry voted for war.  Or something like that.  Was Albright's calculation that 500,000 goy were not worth a Jewish fingernail.... or did Albright just absorb that sort of rabbinic culture of tribal supremacy by osmosis?  I'm sure the navel gazing trendies in the corporate media or at the Huffpost will ask her what her Jewishness means to her.  It will probably mean farting rainbows of peace and love all around the world. 

Except when it's time to finance War Inc., starve kids to death or launder debt/money through Zion again, then Judaism seems to mean something other than rainbows.

If you put it in a novel, no one would be able to take it seriously - it seems too far-fetched, and would seem to rely on a completely complicit .gov, press, and a fucking idiotic public.

It is too bad that the goyim/tribes are generally all utterly stupid.  Even as they wake up to a tribe working within their tribes and nations, their reaction is usually dumb.  If they wake up enough to fight Jewish supremacy and tribalism based on nationalism of their own, then THEY will be the racists and tribalists.  Fascist, racist street thug types are anxious to help with all of that.  Then they're another Hitler, sort of like Saddam, Ghaddafi, Putin and whoever else is yet... ANOTHER HITLER.  After all, a Tribe Inc. that itself has a thousand year history of genocidal "anti-goyism" were just minding their own business and trying to fart rainbows of peace on Germany back then and Hitler went crazily tribal on them for no reason, no reason at all... etc.  (Holodomor, what is that?  Was it "the" Holodomor?  Were all Russian Christians Holodomor survivors, owed reparations by Jews?  Where are the reparations that need to be paid to the Ukrainians by Victoria Nuland/Nudelman and all other Talmudists, other than more War Inc. heading their way???  Seriously.) 

There's always tribalism for the goy too, like the Golden Dawn in Greece after Goldman Sachs was through there. On the other hand, if they fight rabbinic ideas of Jewish supremacy based on peace and love or tell stories about Good Palestinians, then they may get crucified or at least character assassinated without trial for supporting terrists.  "You're either with us or you're with the terrists."  --W 

Perhaps there's nothing to be done.  Personally, I would think that the goy would drop from exhaustion with respect to keeping up with all the lies of the Tribe that tends to fancy itself above all other tribes eventually.  (If Zionist madmen need to false flag themselves in order to create more tribalism and herd people along toward Zion based on Islamist insanity or to create a cabalistically sacred magick "sacrifice"/holocaust by the numbers, then they probably will.  Even if the Islamic crazies weren't there to be manipulated and used like "Al Qaeda" to draw in dumb Arab/goy peasants to be periodically flushed like a toilet, there would probably be some other excuse to maintain the Tribe. There will be no end to the idea that "Everyone is out to get us!!!!"  A lot of Israelis even believe that the American government is out to get them, at this point.  Just like many American goy believe that Obama is a Muslim Manchurian candidate, with former members of the IDF as his chief of staff... to be replaced by Jack "Orthodox Jew" Lew later.  But everyone is still out to get them and they are blameless victims, as a tribe, in all things. That's how pathetic it's getting.)

Not trying to thread jack but this is critical information everybody on the planet needs to be aware of in regards to Ebola:

The reality is Ebola is not going to be contained?  Why because it will become a Sexually Transmitted Disease!!!

The isolation of EBOV from semen 40 days after the onset of illness underscores the risk of sexual transmission of the filoviruses during convalescence. Zaire EBOV has been detected in the semen of convalescent patients by virus isolation (82 days) and RT-PCR (91 days) after disease onset. Marburg virus has also been isolated from the semen and linked conclusively to sexual transmission 13 weeks into convalescence.

http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/196/Supplement_2/S142.full

I suspect it has already entered the sexual community and sex trade workers.  Condoms WILL NOT SUFFICE, only ABSTAINING!

However people MUST stockpile and have on hand Selenium - taken in larger doses it will greatly reduce the odds of passing away if they do become infected.

Excellent information and worthwhile for all to take a look at.

It is sobering also, as for most populations around the world information does not sink in and some have no access to itl

People amazingly still believe (unless they are paid to dumb down forums) that voting for a one party system with two sides controlled by diebold voting machines is somehow going to let freedom ring.

They still believe Washington controls the world while owing 18 trillion to Euro bankster shysters where incidentally their SSA numbers originate. This information will not sink in and the virus will spread with ease, that is a given. They could watch it on FOX News day after day and it wouldn't sink into the fluoridated masses who have been poisoned.

There is more to this story and it ties into the jews/joos also.

As far as NATO goes Russia already has that one covered it is called Transnistria and secondarily Gaguazia (ties into the joos thing also).

There are more layers to this than natural resources / petrodollar / super power status

NATO won't admit member states with disputed territories.

It is not NATO the Russians are warning about it is this.

http://en.apa.az/news/214045?

Baku – APA. The U.S. Congress passed in two readings a Russian aggression prevention bill that provides major non-NATO ally status for Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova (during the period in which each of such countries meets specified criteria) for purposes of the transfer or possible transfer of defense articles or defense services. The bill was submitted to the competent commission for being prepared for the final reading, APA reports, quoting the official website of the U.S. Congress.

 

The bill directs President Barack Obama to increase U.S. Armed Forces interactions with the armed forces of Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia; and U.S and NATO security assistance to such states. Armenia is not included in the list.

 

The bill also amends the Natural Gas Act to apply the expedited application and approval process for natural gas exports to World Trade Organization members, and urges the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Trade and Development Agency, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the World Bank Group, and the European Bank for Reconstruction to promote assistance to Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova in order to exploit natural gas and oil reserves and to develop alternative energy sources.

 

The document prohibits any federal department or agency from taking any action that recognizes Russian Federation sovereignty over Crimea or otherwise endorses the Russian Federation's illegal annexation of Crimea, and directs the Secretary of State to strengthen democratic institutions, the independent media, and political and civil society organizations in countries of the former Soviet Union; and increase educational and cultural exchanges with countries of the former Soviet Union.

 

...

As an aside they announced it on 7/17/2014......

Bunch of worthless has-been and never-was nations until they conveniently dropped Azerbaijan in there. Foggy Bottom must be supremely over-confident if they think they can also juggle the Caspian bathtub and cut off Russia from Armenia and Iran. But with Russian nukes in Armenia I can see why the they might have come to the conclusion that Washington's way overpriced conventional weapons and worthless fiat of mass destruction weren't going to buy much influence over both sides of that pending conflict.

Staying away from the whole joo/muslim alliance issue for a bit.

This is why none of those countries will be getting membership status in NATO anytime soon

Disputed territories

Ukraine - Crimea (formerly), Eastern Ukraine (currently)

Moldova - Transnitria, Gaguazia (on deck next)

Georgia - South Ossetia, Abkhazia

Azerbajain - Nagorno-Karabakh

Balkan states

Sutorina (currently part of Montenegro) but also claimed by Bosnia and Herzegovina as belonging to them

Prevlaka (stragetic Southern Adriatic Peninsula that on the Bay of Kotor that functions as provisional regime right now), claimed by both Montenegro and Croatia

Kosovo and Serbia well we all know that story by now

Island of Sarengrad that sits smack dab in the middle of the Danube in Croatia That is another strategic chokepoint that is disputed.

Island of Vukovar another disputed island in Croatia that sits smack dab in the middle of the Danube

Existing current Croatia and Serbian border disputes.

Croatia also has border disputes with Slovenia and waterway disputes (think Trans Adriatic Pipeline routes) in the Gulf of Piran also with Slovenia.

Macedonia well they have a dispute going on with Greece of the rights to the name of Macedonia.

There are more layers to this than natural resources / petrodollar / super power status

Yes. A vitally important point.  Anyone distilling it to "all wars are bankers wars" or claiming it's all about oil, or the petrodollar is telegraphing their lack of understanding of many, perhaps most of the people making decisions.  The US government is not made up of people primarily worried about expanding the power of private central banks.

Neoconservatism/Zionism, and many associated forms of militarism are not motivated by the petrodollar or even securing energy resources (not, by the way, an unreasonable goal but the way its being done, where violence and theft is baked in, is unreasonable) but by emotional teleology-  Greater Israel, or a unipolar world allowing for one world government (NWO).

Essentially, the NWO and ZWO are the uneasy, and somewhat overlapping ideological-militarist power centers embedded in State and looking to destroy Russia and Balkanize and weaken Israel's neighbors.

 

"The Grand Chessboard" wasn't exactly published in secret.  Neither were the Oded Yinon/PNAC line of plans.

 

Certainly, private central banks, the petrodollar, and a few other things are major issues - actually control of gas and gas pipelines likely most of all.  But the twin ideologies of globalism and zionism would probably sacrifice profits, or energy access, or even MIC profits if it meants moving closer to the goal of one world government and/or Israeli superpower status.

There is a whole eschatology for these secret society eilites. They worship Lucifer/Baal. They are Zionists and financial elites. They are into all the end times/apocalyptic shit in the Bible. The Zionists only want to create Israel in order to have it destroyed. It's all part of the intense blood sacrifice required to birth the new world order. The fulfillment of the prophecies as they see it requires that a new temple be built in Jerusalem upon the ashes of the old.** If nukes help out with the required desolation, so be it. The Zionists don't give a fuck about longterm Israeli security. They want all the animosity and international condemnation. It's building toward something that they see as beneficial for bringing about the global unification and control they seek. These elites are also narcissistic psychopaths and are happy to drive the species off the cliff as long as they have their hands on the wheel. And these freaks think a poisoned planet is fine because they will merge with machines and live off world, or underground, but not in the space we currently inhabit.

**The "Freedom" Tower in NYC, built over an earlier NWO blood sacrifice, is just a foreshadowing.
