Moscow Anti-Corruption Protest Escalates, Riot Police Arrive - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As the crowd in Moscow grows to an estimated 10-15,000 protesters chanting "No Putin, No War", Russia has unleashed police in riot gear, apparently fearful of the consequences of this 'unlawful' assembly. The massive crowd of protesters gathered in Moscow's Manezhka Square on Tuesday, following the guilty verdict of anti-corruption crusader Alexei Navalny, remain peaceful for now; but scuffles are breaking out and tensions are rising.

 

Live Feed:

As Mashable reports,

Navalny, a leading foe of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was found guilty of fraud and given a suspended sentence of three and a half years on Tuesday, while his brother was sent straight to prison.

 

"The government isn't just trying to jail its political opponents — we're used to it; we're aware that they're doing it — but this time they're destroying and torturing the families of the people who oppose them," he said, calling for people to attend the protest on Tuesday evening.

 

Hours after the ruling, Navalny himself appeared alongside protesters at Moscow's Manezhka Square in defiance of a house arrest order — and was quickly detained by Russian authorities for breaking the terms. He was taken away in a bus and reportedly escorted back to his home.

 

Protesters chanted "Free Navalny! Free Russia!" and "Russia without Putin!" as he was carted away in a police bus.

There’s a disaster in the making.

A couple of weeks ago there was a news about a Ukrainian Nuclear Plant in Zaporizhia.

The Ukrainian government, to calm down the EU, claimed that a transformer on Block #3 went bad and they are replacing it.

 Here what is actually going on down there. The plant was built by the Russians and designed for the RUSSIAN FUEL.

The Ukrainians have recently started experimenting with replacing the Russian-made fuel rods with our Westinghouse rods.

A couple of days ago one of the leaders of the break-away republics (just 120 miles from the plant) claimed that the radiation level around the plant is 14 times higher than normal. The Ukrainian government dismissed it as Putin’s propaganda.

Today two secret reports by the Ukrainian Ministry of Emergency Situations mysteriously emerged (probably hacked by North Korea or a disgruntled Sony employee /s) showing that on Dec 28 and Dec 29 the radiation level around the plant was 16.3 and 16.8 times higher than normal.

I wonder who’s going to get blamed when the plant goes “big bada-boom”? ;-)

"No Putin No War"?

I thought the protezt was about Navalny and ''anti corruption''?

I guess the Langley agitators had their signs premade, then send out their provacatours on the crisis de jour.

Jeepers, if they dont want war, go stand in front of Victoria Nulands office, or the White House lawn.

Exactly.  Navalny is a USSA/Soros controlled stooge, and is part of the plan to overthrow Putin and replace him with a western controlled puppet.  It will fail since the Russians are wise to this game. Russians can watch nightly TV, to see the chaos created by the UKraine Putsch, and consequent  civil war and economic implosion. Navalny is a nothing in Russia without outside funding.

Don't forget, this was an illegal demonstration (wouldn't be surprised if all anti-government protests are). Therefore, 10 to 15 thousand is a pretty good turnout.

I must have been late to the party. Where's the action ? All I can see is an access point to the underground, somewhere in the Red Square. People are going about their business as usual. Even the noise is normal. What the hell are you guys talking about ?

Sorry, I didn't know you have to FFWD the record to see anything. Now I've seen it... Ok, so take the number advertised above and divide it by 10. That's how many they were, from any angle you care to look at it (even from the top-down view, which is the best). Boring...

According to this, there are no American fuel rods in that power plant:

http://ria.ru/world/20141229/1040683089.html

As that is a pro- Russian government news agency, a statement that downplays American involvement from them looks very trustworthy.

But also note this:

http://sputniknews.com/europe/20141230/1016409864.html

That is from the same network. Not a word about any specific incident, only generic stuff.

Which means that no, there is no American fuel rods there. YET.

As I already commented in an earlier ZH post, where I broke this story* (at 12:55) before ZH did (at 13:41), the Globalists are using Full Spectrum Dominance to fire on all cylinders and to thus gain traction.

In the interest of objectivity, it must be said that while Putin is playing defense right on his front door, Obama is playing and golfing in Hawaii.  Putin can't even relax in Crimea, lest he gets bad press, although the digs in Sochi are infinitely more luxurious.  And safer.

Since his peak-performance in Crimea, I don't see him getting decent advice or doing anything that puts him in the driver's seat.  Even that German fatso Chancellor is bitching about E. Ukraine, at a time when German companies are hurting.  Sorry Vlad, but until or unless you shift gears, your street cred is slipping.

Color REvolution is the last hope of the bankrupt US Empire becuse its economic tricks are not working, its military intimidates no one...  just good for CNN which nobody watches anyway...Actually, that crowd is composed of obvious people for hire and the Russian Mafia should be encouraged to deal with them so all these "Democracy for Hire" dramas should end...

Putin regime corrupt court was plannig to roll out it's sentence on 15 of January. So opposition was plannig protest march on that date.

To organize this, opposition created FaceBook page at which 18 000 russian subcribed to attend.

Putin regime didn't like that so it demanded FaceBook to block that page (internet censorship right there) - FaceBook at first conceded but later after pubic presure returned blocked page back. So more than 18 000 russians where going to attend.

That would be very dangeourous for Putin regime - so it ordered corrupt court to roll out it's sentence a day before New Year eve - a date no one expected. So of course those 18 000 people didn't managed to come on this march. That is how Putin regime acts.

With the Rubble down, every CIA dollar now buys twice as many protestors.

And on the subject of corruption - I just had a conversation with a Russian immigrant friend. He spoke of mayor of Russian city "Perm" (population 1 million) who recently migrated out of the country and then the paper digging began. It was discovered that in about a decade of him heading the office he had embezzled $8 billion dollars. That's $8 billion for a city of 1 million! Even California politicians can't top that.

Yes, it MUST be CIA money.  Or maybe Soros.  Or the Rothschilds.  Or just JOOOOOOOS!

Because nobody---absolutely nobody---could ever find even the slightest bit of fault with St Vlad, Patron saint of Vertically Challenged Men everywhere, peacemaker extraordinaire for Chechnya and Ossetia and Donetsk, a man still in mourning over the sad death of Anna Politkovskaya (not yet, Eddie...wait until you get a new asylum site) and because no Russian person actually has free will and could decide---without being paid---to practice the basic human right of assembly.

Let's add Kiev, Hong Kong, and anywhere else where citizens took to the street to protest their government.  It's ALL paid for by some alphabet agency or Soros.  Yup, guys in black rain coats are out there handing out free iPads, Starbucks coffee and maybe Cinnabuns to otherwise perfectly happy citizens.  You know, I think the media is even Photoshopping in crowds from other places.  Some of those Russian protestors look Chinese or maybe Tunisian.

Of course all of you are too smart to be fooled, or tempted, by what tempts and directs these naive Ukrainians, Russians, HK Chinese, etc.  They're all tabula rasas, but YOU are AWAKE!

Just as we know the Soviet Union infiltrated plenty of American groups during the Cold War, we also know the US did likewise. It's amusing how so many people think the US just stopped doing that kind of thing when the Soviet Union collapsed, like some sort of off switch was flipped.

People act offended that anyone could even suggest the US government would interfere in another country's internal affairs — despite mountains of evidence that the US government has done and continues to do just that.

Agree with TheFourth about this being coordinated by CIA/Massad (UsAid).  It is important to see how easily they are able to get these activities moving.  We may see more activity as they move to gain momentum.  The "no war" part of the protest is painfully obvious as a CIA operation.  But Putin the chess player has let the enemy set up camp within Russia itself.  Now the CIA/Massad may plan on provoking violence from the police and use that to change the tone of the protests.  Solution is to for Russia to not tolerate any of this and to get to the true instigators and jail or neutralize them.

Putin shows his weakness and inability to hold his ground or take decisive action.  By letting a corrupt individual who is align with the west get off with a suspended sentence he shows his weakness and impotency even within Russia's borders.  Jailing the family was an attempt to give a warning but has already backfired.  The opponent has used his action against Putin imediately and is more vocal not less.  When Putin pardoned the other powerful opponent and allowed him out of jail it was a clear sign Putin is in dangerous waters and worried.  The pardoned billionare was jewish I think, is this individual also jewish.   Is Putin still hoping to negotiate a place at the table for him and the current elites when the jmafia ravages Russia?

BTW. Does ZH have any Russian tweeters to post? Why do they only post Ukro-Zionist? Julia Davis  is a Ukrainian Nazi who works for CIA.  Same with  Ilya Mouzykantskii . Evgeny Feldman is a Ukrainian -Israeli Jew.

This happening in Russia. Shouldn't we give Russian people chance to express their opinion? Why Russians are not allowed to speak for themselves. Why do we only hear Jews and Ukro- Nazis speaking?

Thanks God for Putin.

They can simply ban foreign NGOs that engage in political activism, and treat them as agitators of a Foreign Power.

Then revoke their visas and make them leave, or face a prison sentence.

And, just as is done in the US, the physical assets of such law breakers are seized and sold at an auction.

NFL Football is fixed. It is as fixed as WWF Professional Wrestling.

 

Sure the players get hurt in each sport.

 

But the Refs call the game. The Coaches are in on the fix. So are the owners. Most of the players are just as unaware as most of the viewing public.

 

That is why the refs take the calls from the box.

 

There are these Nielson devices on TeeVee that demonstrate audience share. If people are tuning out of the game then the guys at Nielson make a Phone Call to the guys in the Skybox. That is when those obvious "bad calls" on the field are made.

 

It is about the viewership and the ADVERTISING REVENUE. It is about the betting in Las Vegas. It is about the MONEY.

 

I cannot believe that you guys are suckered into that shit...

I talk about negative social mood all the time. It is subconscious, endogenously regulated and incites people to act as a herd. Herding happens when people are unsure how to behave independently. They look for comfort by doing the same things their peers are doing - safety in numbers. For example, people don't become fearful and angry because war breaks out, war breaks out because people are already fearful and angry. That is no small distinction.

There will be no "Maidan" in Moscow.

 Those who want to know about navalny : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijGWeGxxJEY

 The racist xenophobic neoliberal ultranationalist Alexei Navalny, darling of the Western MSM, just convicted of fraud against French cosmetic firm Yves Rocher .

 For those in the Western MSM who try so hard to ignore, whitewash, or pretend away who and what Alexei Navalny really is, just because he is "anti-Putin" and "pro-Western":

A violent racist xenophobic thieving fraudulent neoliberal gun-loving wingnut ultranationalist - rebranded as an "anti-corruption liberal".

In hindsight, the "Navalny project" in Russia of a devil's marriage between liberals/neoliberals and ultranationalists/fascists with open Western support should be seen as a trial and precursor for the much more successful "Maidan" riots and Putsch in Ukraine. The nationalists and fascists add violent muscle and numbers on the street that the figurehead and more media-presentable liberals/neoliberals have never had in either country.

Gorbachev has hand picked by Andropov to implement Perestroika, which was a plan put together by the KGB when Andropov was in charge.  There are some stories that Putin was one of the people largely aware of the plan at the time but it is not clear if he was just an outsider or fully informed.  Regardless, there seems to be plenty of evidence that the dismantling of communism in the USSR was very much a KGB plan, because they realized that the system was falling apart. Now certain events like the coup against Gorbachev which lead to the total breakup of the SU  may have been unforeseen, but overall, I think the KGB had a lot to do with the reforms Gorbachev wanted to implement.
