Is The US Preparing To Blame The Next Market Crash On "Russian Spies" And HFT?
As reported yesterday, in a surprise announcement late in the day, and shortly before the S&P downgraded Russia to junk (perhaps as part of the fine-print of its $1.5 settlement with the DOJ for daring to downgrade the US in 2011), the US Department of Justice announced it had busted a Russian spy ring in New York City, where at least one of the three people was said to be involved with finance and potentially, capital markets.
Specifically, the DOJ announced "charges against Evgeny Buryakov, aka “Zhenya,” Igor Sporyshev and Victor Podobnyy in connection with Buryakov’s service as a covert intelligence agent on behalf of the Russian Federation (Russia) in New York City, without notifying the U.S. Attorney General of Buryakov’s status as an agent of Russia, as required by federal law. Buryakov was placed under arrest earlier today in Bronx, New York, and is scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn in federal court in Manhattan later today. Sporyshev and Podobnyy no longer reside in the United States and have not been arrested. By virtue of their prior positions in the United States on behalf of Russia, both of them were protected by diplomatic immunity from arrest and prosecution while in the United States."
On the surface this sounds like your plain vanilla diplomatic escalation, in which a lowly spy, or rather alleged spy, is exposed to show the displeasure of the host regime toward the opposing country, an action which will surely result, within 24-48 hours, in a comparable arrest of a US spy in Russia.
And yet, reading through the complaint we were dumbfounded when we encountered the following exchange:
On or about May 21, 2013, IGOR SPORYSHEV, the defendant, called EVGENY BURYAKOV, a/k/a "Zhenya," the defendant, to ask for BURYAKOV's help in formulating questions to be used for intelligence-gathering purposes by others associated with a leading Russian state-owned news organization (the "News Organization").
From my training and experience, I know that the News Organization has been publicly identified by former SVR agents as an organization that is sometimes used by Russian intelligence to gain access to and gather intelligence under the cover of the news media.
During the May 21, 2013 telephone call between EVGENY BURYAKOV, a/k/a "Zhenya," and IGOR SPORYSHEV, the defendants, which was intercepted by the FBI, the following exchange occurred:
EVGENY BURYAKOV ("EB"): Hello?
IS: Hello Evgeny.
EB: Hey.
IS: Can you talk? . . I need help.
EB: Aha.
IS: [The News Organization] wants very much, I don't know how it came down from the top, but they need three questions with regard to the New York Exchange. What would be interesting to us. Can you help write something?
EB: It's a difficult question. . I need to think.
IS: Can you think of something in fifteen minutes?
EB: Fifteen minutes?
IS: Yes.
EB: I'll try. . . . Should I call you?
IS: Yes, call me.
EB: If you will not pass by me?
IS: No, I will not.
* * *
Approximately 20 minutes later, IGOR SPORYSHEV, the defendant, called EVGENY BURYAKOV, a/k/a "Zhenya,"the defendant, and the following conversation, which was intercepted by the FBI, occurred:
EB: Well, I thought about it. I don' t know whether it will work for you but you can ask about ETF. . . . E-T-F. E, exchange.
IS: Yes, got it.
EB: How they are used, the mechanisms of use for destabilization of the markets.
IS: Mechanism - of - use - for - market - stabilization in modern conditions.
EB: For destabilization.
IS: Aha.
EB: Then you can ask them what they think about limiting the use of trading robots. . . . You can also ask about the potential interest of the participants of the exchange to the products tied to the Russian Federation.
* * *
Based on my training, experience, and participation in this investigation, I believe that, in this conversation, IGOR SPORYSHEV, the defendant, asked for, and obtained from, EVGENY BURYAKOV, a/k/a "Zhenya," the defendant, questions of interest to the Russian economic intelligence community that were to be used by others associated with the News Organization. SPORYSHEV began the conversation by asking for help ("I need help") . SPORYSHEV said that a request came down from leadership, which I believe to be a reference to the SVR leadership, to pass three questions regarding the New York Stock Exchange to the News Organization ("[The News Organization] wants very much . . . it came down from the top, but they need three questions with regard to the New York Exchange")
In a notable departure from every other intercepted conversation involving these two men, IGOR SPORYSHEV, the defendant, made it clear in this call that the two men did not have time to meet in person to discuss this intelligence assignment. Rather, SPORYSHEV asked EVGENY BURYAKOV, a/k/a "Zhenya," the defendant, to get back to him within "fifteen minutes" ("Can you think of something in fifteen minutes?"). BURYAKOV then suggested he would call SPORYSHEV back but only if SPORYSHEV was unable to meet in person (IS: "Yes, call me."; EB: "If you will not pass by me?") . I believe that this time pressure is the reason that this particular intelligence assignment was relayed over a telephone line rather than in person.
IGOR SPORYSHEV, the defendant, then called EVGENY BURYAKOV, a/k/a "Zhenya," the defendant, back to supply a particular line of questioning for use by the News Organization. Specifically, BURYAKOV said the News Organization could ask about how the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") used exchange-traded funds or "ETF"; potential limits on the use of high-frequency, automated trading systems ("trading robots") ; and the potential interest among NYSE members to products tied to Russia ("products tied to the Russian Federation").
Based on my training and experience, and my familiarity with this investigation, I believe that neither defendant' s cover position - banker (EVGENY BURYAKOV, a/k/a "Zhenya," the defendant) and a Trade Office representative (IGOR SPORYSHEV, the defendant) - involves providing assistance to Russian journalists. Nor do their covers explain why the two men would be engaging in a discussion about crafting questions that "would be interesting to us" and that the News Organization representatives should put to New York Stock Exchange employees.
Absurdity of the entire exchange aside, because when one "spy" ask another "spy" whether he "can ask about ETF. . . . E-T-F. E, exchange... How they are used, the mechanisms of use for destabilization of the markets" to which the other replies with "Mechanism - of - use - for - market - stabilization in modern conditions" and is promptly corrected "For destabilization" and when the first one further inquires about "what they think about limiting the use of trading robots", it simply reeks of a scripted conversation.
Worse, when the supposed originator of this line of inquiry is none other than the modern KGB i.e., the Foreign Intelligence Service, i.e. the SVR, because as the FBI special agent on the case says "SPORYSHEV said that a request came down from leadership, which I believe to be a reference to the SVR leadership, to pass three questions regarding the New York Stock Exchange to the News Organization", one has to wonder if the Russian KGB couldn't just open a blog - say this one - or even read a book - say that of Michael Lewis' - to understand all they need to know about just how "robots" and "E-T-Fs" destabilize markets. No, they had to use a network of spies to get to the bottom of just how rigged the market is.
So we will leave aside questions of just what this supposed spy bust is supposed to achieve, with the FBI having now exposed a ground-level apparatchik, who clearly knows nothing and needs pointers on "trading robots", and ending the FBI's ability to trail his activities in the future as well as to potentially get to his superiors - which is always the main prerogative in spy cases such as this one - one thing has become abundantly clear: the scapegoating plan for the "blame game" once the next, devastating, market crash takes place, will be simple: first, blame the E-T-Fs and the "trading robots" for the destabilization (but not the central banks, never the central banks), and then, just to kill all birds with one stone: blame it on the Russian spies.
Sadly, yes: bad B-grade movie scripts from the 80's is just how one would describe the current administration (complete lack of) imagination and foresight. Then again, what else can one expect when none other than the president relied on the "stupidity of the American voter" to pass his career-defining "Affordable" Care Act?

So...does this mean that ALL foreign nationals working on Wall Street are registered as agents of their own country?
Good question. I thought they had to register as foreign lobbyists if they tried to influence politics.
Er, I guess there is a tie-in there, somewhere . . .
Wait, what? Maybe the Feds are finally going after the link between Congress and Wall Street????

"Is The US Preparing To Blame The Next Market Crash On "Russian Spies"?"
Why not?
It has been working for Russia!
I know, I know... But Russia's problems REALLY ARE the fault of the CIA.
Except...
No. They are not. While the are wonderful people, Russians are neither Gods nor Saints, and like most people, create most of their own problems.
The beauty of the scape-goat is that it allows those responsible for problems to delay culpability.
The problem with scape-goats is that it allows those responsible for problems to delaty culpability.
The point of view varies only with whether you identify more with those who cause the problems or those who subsequently deal with them.
Is Evgeny Buryakov a spy? Or is he a scape-goat?
Who knows?
None of us will ever know.
But what we can know is this.
Scape-goat hunting season has arrived all around the world.
With spies who have this level of sophistication and knowledge of their area of expertise...Russia is in deep trouble.
It sounds more like a question grandma might ask her grandson who 'is studying the stock market'.
FBI + Holder = dream team lmao

"perhaps as part of the fine-print of its $1.5 settlement with the DOJ for daring to downgrade the US in 2011"
Only a buck fifty settlement? I'm shocked! How could they afford this?
It started out at $15 billion, but every time S&P knelt down the Feds moved the decimal point 1 place left.
They will reveal that all the electronic fiat has been hacked and consists of pure Russian electrons.

Knowing the level of psychosis our government has exibited for generations starting with Teddy Roosevelt one can only wonder just how we would react if we were in Russia's shoes???!!!

“Panic in Kiev: Ukrainian Forces Surrender Donbass”
January 26, 2015 "ICH" - International observers report of growing panic in Kiev in connection with the successful counteroffensive of the separatists near Donbass.
Over a week of fighting the partisans have delivered a heavy blow to the Ukrainian forces. The group of Ukrainian fighters in Donbas suffered huge losses, the soldiers are demoralized, the officers are confused and unable to control the situation.
Ukrainian military leadership is seriously concerned of a new encirclement near Debaltsevo, as well as in other areas.
The situation is made worse by the fact that army and national guard reserves are almost completely depleted, and plugging the gaps in defense using small formations cannot stabilize the front. Besides, the Ukrainian forces are running low on ordnance, food and medical supplies.
In turn, the partisan field commanders report 752 killed Ukrainian military personnel, 59 destroyed tanks and a large number of people taken prisoner. In view of their combat successes, the partisans are refusing to take part in any further negotiations in the format of the Minsk agreements and threaten to continue the counterattack.

I feel safe knowing that Deputy Barney and Sheriff Andy are watching those Muslims.

That one is easy.
It's all being brought you by the same guys that paid for this smelly dose of excrement that talks about "blood moons" and the one-eyed sheik that came and went as he pleased out of his London residence to wreak havoc anywhere he went with the best intelligence agency in his backyard that simply looked the other way!...
Need I say more?!!!
You mean military intelligence is working with the Muslims?
Say it ain't so, Cap!
Sheriff Andy blames the US Constitution for allowing Holy Islamville, SC to exist inside the gates.
I guess we'll have to rely on military intelligence to save us again, like they saved us on 9/11.
Interesting thing about Catawba, if anything goes kablooey there the fallout ends up almost exclusively in North Carolina.

This incident is only being documented and publicized so that the DOJ can initiate action to have RT banned.
Why do the Russians need to send spies to get this information? It's all over the financial blogs. Or are we about to get SWATted because we talk about the same stuff? Will this or Max Keiser's site get shut down? This so-called "evidence" is more ammo in the propaganda war. The scandalous thing is, TPTB count on financial ignoramuses to quote this and nod and say "yep, more Russkie spies, get 'em!"
Holy maccaronni, cowboys and Indians!
Here is a interesting listen.:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx0TwWIWJF8&feature=youtu.be
Lets see now, nuttyyahoo is on the way to lay down da war plans. Not de plane, but de plans. This number seven thingy comes up again. IMF hag speaks to sevens and their numerological significances. Billionaires are told what is coming at Devos and to get clear if they can. Like, get sealed. The alignment of some planets are happening and possible incoming hitting at some point in the future. There is a lot of other hooky-boo going down. Hummm...
On top of all that, as was well discussed here, the jewish 7th year thingy comes up again and all at the same time. Wowie, this could make for an interesting report by the moar astute paying attention here. Like, almost every piece of the puzzle is here to decipher the possible near exact timing for that huge world crash of the economy. How does that crash of currencies and economies go down with the massive war mongering going on? Hummmm.....
https://socioecohistory.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/economist_magazine_jan2015.jpg
The greater question is and always the every day question, what will happen next to distract the nations of people from this planned to crash event or better, what kind of false flag events will cause greater changes? Paging crises actors! Time to die for babylon. A two part bio nanoagent named Mithra or something even more stupid that kills off the worlds people all at once? Sad that such craziness can even be imagined in a normal world.
What will be that “pearl harbor event” part seventeen point O to start the herd stampeding towards the supremest govt created bad guys to make moar war on next? Seems everyone already knows. How it is allowed to happen, is beyond insanity. Can you say, bank runs? Geeze, it's all so farked up.
War is always the first stupid distraction choice of the woar profiteers that start them. Just what else the garbly mouthed dork-face lying disseminaters of propagandology and dis/mis-information will come up with next to further the evil bankster plans for world domination using the money-god and terror as described they would do well in the protocols, is anyones best guess. Tail wags Dog.
The obvious is becoming self evident as most turn away to avoid it. Suddenly, the fear takes hold of the mind. How to manage your fear by breathing deeply is the best meditation to learn for the coming events that almost seem to be unavoidable. Global disaster?
Sure, there could be a cleansing of the evil houses that create these events and all their evil minions, but will the mass mind wake up in time to turn the ship into that direction of safety, or no? Does the program to distract people from earth changes using war, economic scams, the moneygod, and false flagology occur as some kind of stupid game?
The game of monopoly gets boring eventually and it becomes idiotic to continue to play it knowing the banks always win in the end. How long it takes to bleed you dry is only a matter of tick-tock trickery, and the roll of the dice. How many can remember that joyful feeling of realizing this early in the game and getting up and walking away from it, free of the ball and chains of stupidity? A walk in the park offers far better insights, and entertainment. A flowing river is good for your health.
CHOOSE TO DISCONNECT FROM THE MATRIX!!!
Another real question to ponder is, if this jewish 7th year thingy happens and has provably happened before, can it it be changed? Why does it all seem to add up?? How does it effect the world and the people??? Were it all fiction and fantasy science, it would be as if the lizard things have taken over the entire planet by using the one material THING that most value moar than what comes from their own hearts.
Yes, it's the moneygod tool. They are hard working at using IT to eliminate the awakening masses of human beings. A smart technology to eliminate the simple biology of earth known as, man. World war is cheaper than rebuilding and learning to live natural self-sustaining lifestyles. The babylonians do not care for you, or your families. There must be world population elimination?
Will these alignment dates be a time to be extra vigilant? Does the 7th thingy, Hindenburg omen, and some planets all align up for that perfect attack time in history? Does it really matter if greater forces are at work?? When is the new moon, anyways? Seems there is a rich history of how all this operational evil goes down, no? Oh yeah, two previous world wars in which the losing countries went through the same exact steps America is being setup to going in now.

And once again nattyyappy head, the answer is NO! You cannot attack Syria or Iran for any kind of your deceptive tricks or blackmailing of the idiots that let you do it. Were it ever found in a real court of law that you and your filthy slime are actually doing bad things to political leaders, or blackmailing them as is the term, you would be found guilty and sentenced to death forthwith, post haste. The lowest kind of hells evil has to be attached to those who stab other innocent people in the back. True this for all those others who are involved in the criminality of murder for the corrupted puppet masters you serve on your knees. Deception is of the devil/evil. No moar, no less.
Choose well oh babylon who you call master. The reckoning is coming and it just might have something to do with a seven, eleven, or maybe even a Feb 2 date. Who knows in this corrupted whackie-doo matrix of evil wins, and goodness looses most of the time. There once was upon a time when children were taught to be dreamers, and goal seekers. To plan careers, families, and white picket fences. Next, it is survival Eastern Ukraine style. May God help those poor suffering folks over there, for they are teachers of tomorrows survivor class. Sure did not want to grow up in a country where the govt declares war on it's own people. Oh, wait?
Sadly, in these changing dayz of darkness run rampant, most semi-conscious beings only know how to be totally controlled by the portable iEye of Sauron they are visually-consciously glued to most all days. A pencil becomes an antique today...the babylonic-Borg gets stronger.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcpXflPqbzg#t=1498
Something larger and greater is definitely back of it all. Where there is a force of energy, a greater force of energy is. There is nothing babylon can do to stop real earth changes. Seems that the constant has now become about how to distract from, and obfuscate the impending planetary events. It is a all mixed up and sideways three-D matrix in which most seem perfectly mindlessly content to run with it until they will find themselves in mid-air wondering, did they actually consciously open-eyed all jump off the cliff singing bahhhhhhh, bahhhhhhh, bahhhhhhhhhhh?
Why didn't the Russian "spy" just call his broker Charles Schwab ?
Spy vs. Spy
