What the pretext of democracy is worth. In Latvia and elsewhere

The not so deep ancestry of the European Union is rooted in Nazism; the EU itself is essentially continuation of the Third Reich or rather the reincarnation of the Third Reich's pan-European project albeit one achieved by so far somewhat less violent means.

But there are things in and about the EU that would even give old good Nazis a pause. One essential thing to governance, to the manner how societies  are governed and function, is the consent of the governed. In the Soviet Union, which had elections, and was more democratic than the United States has ever been (strikingly so before 1960s) but was far from the ideals of the Athenian democracy (which I don't hold for an ideal), opinion and ultimately consent of citizens was sought on even  most trivial of issues, such as trade names for new automobile models. Any monarchy operates with consent of the governed. When the consent is not there, in times of crisis, either the monarch is assassinated, dynasty replaced or some sort of revolution happens if there is no peaceful mechanism to change the state of affairs to which people do no longer give their consent.

What I find most remarkable about the European Union is the total utter contempt for the opinion of its inhabitants below the political strata. It is striking, how often politicians even in supposedly liberal minded entities like Germany or Austria, never mind pure Eastern European ethnocracies like SS-states of Estonia and Latvia, invoke the mantra of democracy and how little respect they have for the thing. Democracy seems to be a religion but an odd one. Unlike many a religion it is devoid of much meaning, can be found self-contradictory by any impartial observer, like the majority's opinion may be declared anti-democratic and vice versa, but unlike a true religion, also devoid of any promise and any hope.

The contempt for democracy or contempt for what population thinks is the feature of the European Union's life that is probably unprecedented on the wider historic scale.

The former Soviet Republic, and an now an ethno-Nazi satrapy of so-called Latvia, a tribal state did not exist less than a mere century ago and which genesis lies with the Bolsheviks, is about to join the Reichsmark zone (now it is called "adopting the euro"). Curious is the difference on how Russian Federation media and media that is either pro-Nazi or pro-American covered the news.  News outlets (I can only consult those online) in the Russian Federation reported that 67% of  Latvians oppose the euro while pro-Nazi or America media rejoiced - the support for euro rises to 33%.

The decision to abandon a pretext of monetary independence is a momentous one. It is probably as grave a decision as a territory can take on becoming independent (not that anyone earnestly asked the denizens of what is now Latvia about whether the territory should be independent or not, it is not, or not that they had any power to affect the matter). But even in the Soviet era referenda were held on the most important issues and no Soviet authority would ever attempt to change the daily lives of inhabitants in a radical fashion  while facing the opposition or lacking consent of what  in real terms approaches 70% of Latvians.

Latvia is an ethnocracy, a rare species of states and statelets that emerged after the catastrophe of the First World War on the western periphery of Russia and along the eastern periphery of the Austrian Empire  and are currently confined to the Eastern Europe which alone has the ethnostate as its dominant model (by a stretch of imagination one can call Israel an ethnostate, Israel's roots are also Central and Eastern European, not Middle Eastern,  but would be stretching it because Israel has such a strong element of theocracy to it.  One can become an Israeli without being Jewish and one can become Jewish in Israel by converting to Judaism. One can become Austrian, and his kids would be seen and treated as Austrians in Austria, merely by fulfilling a few criteria and swearing allegiance in  one form or the other - either  to the ruling dynasty in the past, to the republic currently. One can never become an Estonian or Latvian without being born to the pool of peasant tribesmen or their Soviet-urbanized offspring who were promoted to the rank of "nations" with the help of the Bolshevks. A Latvian can become a Frenchman, an Austrian or an American but has no chance of becoming an Estonian and vice versa). In today's Latvia the civil rights and the right to vote or the right to be asked about any matter is confined to "ethnic Latvians",  peasants and their descendants of three Russian governorate who speak  Baltic dialects related to or "invented from" Lithuanian. Some 40% of Latvia's inhabitants are denied the right to vote because they are deemed to be of wrong ethnicity. Those are Russians but there Russian is anyone who does not belong to the titular tribe (Jews are Russians and are discriminated against in a manner reminiscent of the Third Reich under approval and protection of the Third Reich's European heir, the European Union).

So in those terms, the 33% - 40 equation roughly would signifies that some 17% to 18% support the incorporation into the euro which in turn means that over 80% of Latvia's inhabitants, if we to recalculate the date in an honest manner, oppose Latvia's final absorption into the new Reichsmark's zone. That is the kind of treatment usually accorded to the population of an occupied territory. Though labeled a democracy by the US/EU democracy grading mechanism, the territory of Latvia is anything but. Not just there you have a widespread institutionalized ethnic and linguistic discrimination on the scale that would put both old South Africa under apartheid  and parts of Nazi Germany to shame, but the opinion of the the pseudo-Aryan and supposedly privileged tribesmen, the Latvians, is apparently of no concern to anybody.

It looks that ethnofascist juntas that usurped power in the periphery statelets annexed by the European Union  and the EU itself are determined to ignore popular opinion of its underlings at all costs when pushing forward with the Reich's centralizing agenda or imposing imperial designs on the hapeless. Even in larger subjugated nations on the continent referendums or referenda are only allowed to go forward when the results of the referendums are known in advance to be favorable to the EU's agenda. If not, then a referendum would be derailed. If somehow a referendum or public vote takes place and succeeds against all odds, and the results are not favorable to the EU, then the heir to the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, headquartered in the largest city of the Austrian Netherlands, and the Third Reich rolled in one, would threaten the misbehaving state and its population with sanctions and assorted future hardships,  push for another vote, and then for another, and for another, until results favorable for or to the EU are obtained. But in case of minor, artificial statelets such as those carved in the Russian territory and then annexed as strategic Brückenköpfe, the population, even of privileged ethnic stock, is not even asked, its opinion seems to hold same non-material value to the proprietors as  the opinion of their  farm animals would be, in fact considering everything it is amazing that farm animals are even permitted to have an opinion. 

There is a good post by Leoš Tomíček on Ukraine's integration with the EU or rather lack thereof. Leoš's are so far without an exception very good: both a joy to read and a source of enlightenment with an accent on one moderately unfortunate region and its denizens.
 
I wrote a comment, am unsure it wasn't lost so I'd reproduce here because it applies as much to the relationship not just between the Ukraine and the Russian Federation, but in a sense to the skewed nature of relationship, that I'd call the disbalance of power, between the Russian Federation and the ethnostates on its periphery. It seems that Russia (the Russian Federation that is because Russia itself is larger than the Russian Federation) under current authoritarian regime and regime is the word that I'd choose despite all of its negative connotations, is reluctant to convert its vast economic strength, which does not only consist of gas and oil but foremostly of the entitlement of access to Russia's domestic market, a privilege that is now granted to anyone,  friend or foe, just by asking as if it were indeed a right,  into foreign policy influence. On the other hand, Russia's civilizational enemies,  such as the United States, have enormous foreign policy leverage despite very modest economic presence in the region.  While the EU's influence over Ukraine's economy is immaterial -there are few products  the Ukraine produces that the EU needs  or wants to buy  from it, the power the EU sways over Ukraine's politicians is astonishing as is the desire of Ukraine's Soviet elite to do any kind of imaginable harm to their own country in exchange for the promise of being on some later occasion granted  the collective honorary title of nominally white men.

So why does EU refuse to integrate the Ukraine while doing everything it its power to prevent any meaningful rapprochement of Ukraine with the Russian Federation (though read Leoš Tomíček's post first)? The second part is easy. The  EU junta is largely anti-European, pro-fascist, pro-Nazi in its spiritual and historical roots and Atlantist in its present   and it is natural for it to see Russia as its' chief enemy, hence of of course any integration of Russia with anything even toxic to EU itself is seen as a bad thing. But the answer to the first part of the question, why doesn't it take in Ukraine in the way it adopted little Baltic ethno-Nazis is somewhat trickier:

There are two issues here and here's how I see them:


- the first one is that  the EU has difficult time digesting all the noxious garbage it consumed recently, the toxic refuse it ate up from the little ethno-Nazi creeps in the Baltics to megarich Bulgaria as devoured all the  trash    sweeping it clean from the Baltic to the Black Sea.

- the second cause  is probably racism and civilizational animosity or a mixture of both substances - the folks from Russia Minor are still deemed somewhat Russian in the eyes of the Fourth Reich's unelected officialdom (I know that must be immensely troubling to the indigenous Ukronazis or their overseas relatives or, in turn, their proprietors) and by virtue or misfortune of being somewhat Russian, the entire statelet is therefore condemned to a category lower than Rumania. This forces Ukraine into the position of poor Turkey or even worse,something alike Egypt, the Fourth Reich would perhaps go for amputation of impoverished Galicia and the Carpathian region only for the sake of imperial glory but otherwise it might have learned its history lesson and merely wants to stabilize the front line at the positions of late 1941.

The destruction or dissolution of the EU, something that of course would also be a great boon to humanity in the longer term, is the only hope for the Ukraine's integration with the rest of Europe.

And yes, the hypocrisy, particularly on the part of American establishment, is astounding. They expect Russia to have no voice in internal or external affairs of the Ukraine but they want to subsidize Ukraine's very existence, something, true enough, the Russian Federation has been doing all those years, and those generous  subsidies did not just cover Ukraine because the Russian Federation has faithfully been feeding a host of adopted honorary Europeans, nourishing hostile regimes from failed states around the Black Sea to the Nazi statelets on the eastern shore of the Baltic.

Forcing foreign corporations that engage in discrimination in the ethno-Nazi states of Estonia and Latvia to disengage from it

An improvised hence an informal message I  wrote to the Fiat (first through their online submission form, then to their public relations office, c/-ed to a dozen of so executives)  that  pertains to the issue of multilayered ethnic and linguistic discrimination in  Estonia and Latvia, and also, something that I strongly believe in, that the discrmination could be countered and reversed if the Russian speakers themselves were both willing to confront the Nazis in areas where third parties are involved and by their behavior as consumers. The latter could force those who collaborate with Estonian and Latvian Nazis (and Estonia and Latvia are Nazi states under EU and NATO protectorate, at least for the time being) to mend their ways. The point is that the Russian speakers should not do business with those who discrminate against them and, secondly, the most potent weapon in the arsenal of fighting the Nazis in this area would be to pass a law by the Russian Federation parliament, something that I thought of like almost ten years ago (Duma wasn't ready for something so major then and is probably not ready to do anything now due to the very strong American and Nazi/EU lobbies in it) that would  first fine and then prohibit commercial activities of the violators  in the Russian Federation and confiscate assets  of those companies that persistenly engage in voluntary language discrimination or demonstratively exclude Russian language from packaging, product instructions, advertising material in the Baltic states. On the other note I believe that much of this is caused by the ignorance and stupidity, not illwill, in the state of total apartheid like Estonia, foreign executives are likely to deal first with representatives of the ethnocracy, individuals of certain tribal affiliation, that push the made up and make believe picture of monolingual Estonia and Latvia, in reality two bilingual societies,onto hapless foreigners who don't know any better.

Here is the improvised message. I am quite sure it will get across to the intended recipient.

Buongiorno, Mi scuso perché scrivo in inglese. I just want to buy a Fiat for a small company in Estonia (I already bought a number of Fiats in the Czech Republic and in the Russian Federation) and my partner and I were looking for a company car. I am a long time fan of Fiat. However I discovered that ww.fiat.ee website is only available in the tongue known as Estonian. This is a pity because  40% of inhabitants of the former Estonian SSR speak Russian. After all this has been the civilized language of the province for soon 300 years. In some towns like in the Northeast of the territory close to 90% of population are Russian speakers and I am sure that everyone who comes to the Fiat , and there are not many in that region (I am not a resident of the ethno-Nazi satrapy) if he or she is a Russian speaker, and that is close to the half of your potential customers in Estonia, and considering the cultural differences perhaps 90% of your likely customers, are repulsed by the in-your-face display of contempt for the Russian speakers and for your policy of ethnic and linguistic discrimination as expressed in the fiat's website (www.fiat.ee).  I understand that the cause of this crime could be ignorance, not malice or if there is malice it is that of the Estonian Nazis whom the Fiat contracted to conduct its promotional affairs in the territory.  It is true that today Estonia is an ethno-Nazi statelet run by ethnic fascists, an ethnocracy, however although Russians or Russian speakers and the Russian language itself are all subject to intense and grotesque discrimination in and by the ethnofascist entity, a private company, like the Fiat, does not have to discriminate. For example your competitor, Toyota. has a website in Estonia that is both in Estonian and in Russian (and two more regional languages) - you can compare Fiat's sales vis-a-vis Toyota's to find out if that matters. Likewise, the site of Renault's distributor in Estonia is also bilingual - http://www.citymotors.ee

So why offend and insult your potential customers? In my case, the language issue matters.  I had checked Fiat Latvia site and it is also monolingual, the Russian language is not present.  In a bilingual state where Russian speakers have most money, and are close to represent half of the population, but are politically oppressed, Fiat chooses not to be neutral and impartial and to stand on the side of the ethnocratic oppressors. In my opinion it is not nice to play together with the Estonian and Latvian Nazis, and I think this fact alone would probably  hurt your reputation in greater Russia, where this might or would become eventually known.

I urge you to stop discrimination and to make both sites for Estonia and Latvia bilingual, that is that both sites should also be available in Russian. I also urge you that your distributors in those statelets employ Russian speaking personnel, maintain Russian language websites and do not engage in obvious discrimination. Although I bought five new Fiats in the last few years and have been a dedicated a loyal customer this is one thing that would most certainly cause me to defect to another marque unless the situation is rectified.

Best regards,

What is a victory?

Though this has more to do with the Russian Federation than with Estonia (with which it nominally has nothing in common), the subject matter is what Estonia and Latvia and other East European states are all about or rather about differences of civic and tribal identities. 

Here is the "inspirational" piece: 
Re: http://globalvoicesonline.org/2012/08/15/russia-the-ugly-side-of-olympic-nationalism/

Excerpt -

This has prompted an online poll , comparing an ethnic Armenian competing for Russia and an ethic Russian competing for Kazakhstan. The poll asks a simple question: "What do you view as a victory? The gold medal of Russian Federation citizen Arsen Galstyan? Or the gold medal of ethnic Russian Aleksandr Vinokurov?" Over eighteen thousand people have voted so far, and the results are 80% in Vinokurov's favor. Coincidentally, ethnic Russians make up around 80% of Russia's population.



I think this article  is remarkable, the poll results are revealing but they could be different if the ethnic Armenian had a Russian name because a lot of this  is superficial.  Second important consideration: through activities of the Putinist state and because of the Soviet "nationalities" policies before that, when and where all nationalities and ethnicities were in the past and are now entitled to their autonomy in one form or the other and (Great) Russians are deliberately denied it though forced to a system that was by no means a melting pot but an ethnic zoo, we are now facing the rise unstoppable rise of ethnic nationalism of the Latvian or Croatian fashion (this is an incredibly dark force -  just look at the size of Russia's - even Poland is not strictly an ethnic state, neither is Germany though it is somewhat close to the model, of course France and Great Britain are not ethnocracies and neither are India, Argentina or the USA), this popular ethnic nationalist movement, born out of Soviet and post-Soviet regimes own criminal policies,  perhaps might transform Russia into the world's largest ethnostate of the Central and East European model.  The Estonisation or Lettization of Russia  would mean a sad end for the great  Russian State's historic journey but admittedly even that outcome would be preferable to  the current status quo  with a kleptocratic semi-Bolshevist Nomenklatura-capitalist centralized Muscovite steppe khanate that is despised from inside and outside of the country's borders.

*****

and Mike Averko's commentary / conclusions from reading that piece differ from mine

"
Put mildly, there's reason to doubt how well the above excerpted conforms with actual reality - which isn't to say that intolerance doesn't exist in Russia.

For openers, one might ask why Vinokurov didn't (apparently) make an effort to represent Russia? The Kazakh born Russian ice hockey goalie Yevgeny Nabokov was able to successfully petition and compete for Russia.

One senses that most patriotically inclined sports fans the world over root for their country, with ethnicity being of little importance. The historical recollections I've come across indicate that in an era of Jim Crow laws, 1930s white America at large enthusiastically rooted for Joe Louis against Max Schmeling and Jesse Owens' performance at the 1936 Olympics.

Would most ethnic Russians root for Moscow born ethnic Russian Nastia Lukhin of the US against ethnic Tatar Alija Mustafina of Russia, in a hypothetical Olympic gymnastics gold medal showdown?

Another message to Sokos - a new revelations, and I feel like an ignorant jackass - tourism to Tallinn, Estonia

Dear Harry Põder

First of all let me express my gratitude for such a prompt response.

I believe I made two mistakes for which I have to apologize.

There are fewer Russian visitors than Norwegians. I did not know that. Thank you for letting me know that the number Norwegian tourists in the Sokos Viru Hotel is greater than the number of Russian tourists?  It does sound however highly implausible judging by the number of transport connections and other factors but if you say that then I guess I would take it for granted, namely that Russian Federation passport holders are the fifth group by number at Tallinn (Sokos) Viru hotel.


My second misconception was about the Viru hotel itself. I was under a false impression that the Viru Hotel was constructed by the Moscow-based Intourist and is almost identical to a building they put together in Togliatti at the same time and Moscow-based Intourist hired companies from   Finland and Finland (though not exclusively Finnish) contractors participated in the building project for which they were of course most handsomely paid.  I just finished my own small hotel project in Moravia, in Czech Republic, in which I converted an old building (the foundation may be dates from the 14th century) to a small hotel / bed and breakfast use. I had different contractors working at the site, but I'd say I put this hotel together (there is a fine German word for it, Bauherr) and, let's say, not Hungarians, although I had one gentleman working who might have been of Hungarian origin or he at least confided that.  From what you implied the Viru Hotel was not built by Moscow-based Intourist but was a donation of the Finns. Sadly I was  unaware of that part story -I did not know that the building was a gift of the Finno-Ugric inhabitants of Finland (of course not just Finns live in Finland) to their Southern brethren. This would obviously be a fantastic marketing asset for the hotel, I was not aware of the fact and I apologize for my ignorance. I would certainly publicize this act of a historically unprecedented collective ethnic generosity.

As you've mentioned the much maligned USA - I must say you are absolutely right, I am a US national (and I spent a few years in Austria and I live in the Czech Republic), with a disclaimer that  Americans of Russian descent or those who were born there are Americans and not "Russians in America"  and I'd say that  in Austria (which is not an ethnic state) someone who has an Austrian passport is an Austrian (it is so believe me)  and I guess in the Czech Republic that tends also to be the case -  sometimes even if you don't have the Czech citizenship (as I don't) - I feel very much like a local.  I speak Czech but when I didn't I don't believe I had any encounters of the kind I had at your much esteemed establishment or in today's Estonia.  So while you are correct that someone of Russian descent would consider the flag of the United States as his or her as it would right be or someone who is of Russian background but is a citizen of France (I know that country also well) he would certainly feel French, I am not quite sure it is the case in Estonia - not at least after I talked to a few locals here.

Once again, thank you very much for your prompt response.
There are two points that I noted
first that at this time the number of Russian overnight visitors is smaller than of Norwegians though that might change in the future.
secondly (an important point to keep in mind and to spread around) that the Viru Hotel was a gift of the Finnish speaking nationals of Finland.

Warmest regards,


 

Response from the Sokos

(Now there are a few Finnish companies I want to pester about things that I find frankly outrageous, Sokos is probably the mildest offender).

Dear Eugene Soukharnikov,

Thank You for Your concerning question. We are very sorry, if You feel that Russia, Russian language or Russian tourists have been discriminated. We understand that any mark can be interpreted as an insult, therefore please let us explain. We sincerely hope that insulting us was not Your aim as well. 
Flags one can see in front of our hotel are selected by the client groups mostly staying in our hotel. Yes, Russians are very important group as well and we sincerely hope to meet them more and more in Tallinn and in our hotel. Comparing to Finns, Swedish, Norwegians and Germans, the percentage of Russians is still lower in our hotel and as mentioned - we hope it is going to change. The times, when there are much more Russian tourist in our hotel, for example New Year and beginning of January, we have also Russian flag welcoming them. This is not about Russian or Estonian history, but simply common policy - in the Autumn we had a week when we had half of visitors from India, so we had accordingly Indian flag. All the other times we have flags by statistics of our hotel visitors in past year. As You understand - whom should we prefer from our clients, if there are ten persons from Austria, ten from Russia, ten from Australia, ten from USA etc - we have 516 rooms and may be 100 nationalities at a time. Estonian flag is a National flag also for local Russians, like US flag is the national flag for local Russians in USA or the Russian flag National flag for Estonias living in Russia.
In Sokos Hotel Viru there is four languages demand for our employees - Estonian, Russian, English and Finnish. We tend to call them local languages, because for our hotel staff it is so. But it is about language, not about state. We are truly sorry, if You have been insulted somewhere because of Russian language or some other way, but we hope and believe it has not been in our hotel.
We hope that our explanation convinced You that we take all our clients as very welcomed guests, no matter what kind of passport he/she has or what language one speaks. You are also very welcome to visit our hotel museum, the first hotel museum in Estonia. There are tours in four languages (including Russian) and we are telling there about 1970-80ties, about our hotel history (built in 1972 by the Finns) and also about the role of KGB in our hotel life. You can find articles about the museum for example in Izvestja, Echo Moskvõ or in English from BBC, Euronews or in German from Deutche Welle or NDR. So You can be also convinced, that we value our past and with our Russians friends we have also good laughs about things from our common past, what non of us liked - like KGB watching in every hotel in Tallinn, Moscow or Leningrad. But this is past now and we are happy to share the common stories. 
Welcome to Tallinn and to Sokos Hotel Viru!

Sincerely Yours,

A letter to the Sokos (Finland-based) hotel chain

(let's wait for the answer):

Sokos Hotels
P.O. Box 1, 00088 S GROUP, Finland
Switch board: Tel. +358 10 76 8011

To Whom It May Concern:

I recently walked by the Viru Hotel in Reval, Tallinn, which was built by the Soviet Union in the 1972s (or about that time). There are enormous, staggering flagpoles on the side of the hotel displaying the flags of the Estonian ethnostate as well as Finland, Germany, Sweden, Norway and of the European Union.

As far as I know after Finnish tourists the largest group of people who stay at the Sokos Viru are Russian Federation nationals,  however the flag of the Russian Federation is conspicuous by its absence.

Would you please explain why the largest group, after the Finnish passport holders,  the greatest spenders by volume who collectively support your establishment financially is being discriminated against by your hotel chain? What would the reason be of such manifest and seemingly mindless, ungracious Russophobia?


Although I am not nominally a Russian passport holder I am informally studying the instances of corporate discrimination in the post-Soviet Baltic statelets, the purpose behind this effort is to single the most obvious and brazen offenders out  - those who discriminate against Russian language, Russophone speakers, or even, inexplicably, the flag  (discrimination here means that someone or something is treated differently from others even when demographics and history would warrant otherwise or in case of Estonia for instance only accepting the Estonian ethno-Nazi narrative as only one) and to punish them by organizing boycott in the Russian Federation itself or by leveling legal sanctions against by passing law on anti-discrimination in the former Russian Empire and the republics of the Soviet Union.

While I am not making any judgment yet, I believe that the number of Russian customers of Sokos Viru in Reval (today's Tallinn), a city where over one of inhabitants speaks Russian natively which has been a part of the Russian state or of the Soviet for close 300 years is probably somewhat greater than that of Norwegian - with all due respect to Norwegian visitors (I happen to like Norwegians a lot) and that begs the question why would the Norwegian - or the German flag - be displayed publicly, but not the flag of your Russian customers?



Sincerely yours,





PS: employees at Sokos Viru also refused to speak to me in Russian - that happened in the Mexican themed bar and another bar - it is obvious that hiring someone bilingual would make sense in a city where at least one third of inhabitants speak Russian natively and the second largest foreign group are Russian speaking tourists. Unfortunately the personnel does not speak German or French either.

Coffee-in - on the first glance it is a somewhat witty, Anglicized or as the case is here Americanized  name for a small type of coffee-to-go chain that uses push carts, kiosks and really small stores to peddle  the coffee and the coffee itself is not bad not bad.  Today's former Soviet republic of Estonia is funded by injections of capital from Putinist Russia that uses its for raw material and fossil fuel transit  as well as for what amounts to money laundering on the state scape - that despite policies of ethnofacism and apartheid against Russian speakers on one hand (Russian Federation does not care about Russian speakers here for a number of reasons), and the largesse of the EU which, the Fifth Reich sort of project, has made the expansion into what used to Russian Baltic provinces before the Bolsheviks an ideological priority, and it won't allow their newly acquired territories to fail (we'll see about that, here goes the euro first:)

Because those territories are not economically, culturally or in any other sense viable or independent - not in any respect that I can think of, a number of things occurred. First there is a massive population exodus - like close to a third of inhabitants left the entity since 1990s. These are human losses greater than the same territory had in WWII and if projected as a hypothetical scenario on to the USA itself. then that would amount to sudden emigration or disappearance of now... just wait... 100 million (hundred million) US nationals. Even in these economic times and stringent visa barriers, the US remains a country of immigration, not emigration (as by the way - and miraculously to me at least - is the Russian Federation, say more  now migrate from Israel to Russian Federation than vice-versa, probably to some displeasure of hardened Zionists. The second phenomenon of that economy that is apparent to me, to an outsider and frequent visitor,  is that it is oriented toward a small strata of consumers of goodies, consisting of ethnocratic bureaucracy,  foreign  tourists (of which now riffraff from Moscow and Putinburg represent the largest and most freely spending portion), well-to-do employes of foreign banks, colonial administrators,  and that means that the prices are skewed. An espresso, a parody on the real Italian espresso (because the inspiration here does not come from Italy) or  not less delicious Gallic café expres, so an espresso costs like 2 euros - (it would like 1 euro in Ravenna, Italy) a caramel cappuccino is like 3 euros -   (now cappuccino is not what is to be enjoyed from a properly sized  china or ceramic cup  for breakfast or only in the first half of the day as is the case in Italy, cappuccino is really soapy, sweetish sludge in a huge paper cup - it is all US-inspired beverage but perverted and distorted in the process). Now an income in rural parts of this territory and among some people who are deemed inferior by the ethnostate (like say someone who is over 45 and unemployed and Russian speaker) is like 200 euros per month, could be worse,  per capita  income in Italy would be in effect, not in falsified EU statistics which are as phony as a three dollar bill (pardon the cliche which itself has mutated to "phony as a two dollar bill". despite the fact that two dollar bills are legitimate currency in the United States), so the comparative income is  10 times greater in Italy, so in effect the price of that espresso in that kiosk, for the locals,  is about 20 euros. One must also admit that the consumption of espresso like goodies  also culturally distorted in a different way, population has its spending priorities, like it does in Russian Federation proper where in large cities at least it is all very similar to what it is in post Soviet Estonian. In short the population does not go around here sipping espressos,  the average species when they make enough money usually sit voluntarily locked up in their Soviet era (that is statistically greater case) apartment and more likely than not would spend its resources on an automobile, a sedan normally, of Asiatic or Teutonic make, preferably of black, metallic silver or, the most Bohemian and adventurous ones, would choose  funeral white color. The creature here does not socialize - unlike say Czechs who go out to coffee places and pastry shops with their kids, that is even in small towns and who have a need to socialize - in beer taverns, in their fabulous pivnice a hospody., which are a part of local culture, but in this part of the world he post-Soviet urbanized peasant has no need for this sort of socialization, he just wants a big sedan like the Soviet bosses had (that is why those vehicles happen to be black or dark - exactly like the natives' souls) . When  you enter a restaurant in this part of town, you are more likely than not to be addressed in English (or in Finnish if you are taken for a Finn, the nose of the folks here is trained for things visually anthropological and racial to a phenomenal extent) . The last visible feature is linguistic Americanization, the local ethnocratic "elite" of Soviet provenance mainly feels being protected by America (like they were by the Germans in the short Nazi era) and the local Estonian-speaking urbanized peasant now plunged into the English speaking universe - English is the international and urbane (well it is not, but go tell them)  and */the* foreign language is really English. For a different reasons situation in the Russian Federation itself is very similar and in fact in many ways worse. English is absolutely everywhere but it is fantastically bad. As a Finnish friend of mine said that in the Soviet era the territory was bilingual (for examples most signs were in the local tribal language, called Estonian,  but also in Russian, which was the language of the confederation, the Soviet Union, and both versions were equally correct).  The local EU-protected ethno-Nazis had Russian is purged from visibility though not out of use and replaced it with Estonian (to me a useless tongue of no cultural clout and with less than a million speakers all of whom being recently urbanized peasants; there is no cultural layer cake and richness one sees in developed European languages, from Portuguese to Polish) . They even have language police in Estonia that would monitor that Russian does not appear and then even fine its users - that is called discrimination because only Russian is targeted and not English (as this photograph testifies) but this is something that does not bother the EU Nazis. Soon not the Estonian (which was the official language in the Soviet era here by the way) but he language of new owners appeared and - where is the language police I wonder (and let me tell you, they would be here in an instant if the sign was in Russian) ,  Now we come to the funniest part - the local tribe's tongue is gone, as one can see here right in this photograph, and everything  is now only in English. As are most advertising slogans and catch lines. But they are all in pig English.   Now, here are very few words and they are all obviously English words. A speaker of English would immediately detect that something is fishy though as one would not say "feel energy" in this contents of the catchphrase as he or she would most certainly say "feel the energy", not feel energy. This is a minor thing but there are major ones as well and a few are hilarious.

Another curious thing one encounters here (the most curious thing is the massive fabrication of history and its falsification on a scale that is quite breathtaking but I won't go into it)  is transposition of own (or rather Russian as they have little of their own) cultural notions onto something else and then labeling it all in pig English. I saw a bizarre object - should buy it just for photographing - there was a single sour pickle (a pickled cucumber) suspended in a glass jar.  The twisted yellow-greenish cucumber was very much floating there like a preserved fetus in the solution of formaldehyde as an exhibit of some anatomically-themed display. The label was in English however - it said Good Morning (a local peasant feels like an educated master when addressed in some sort of anglais-esque, I don't believe they export those single pickles to the Court of St. James) ,  now I had to pause for a second - why would a bizarre looking pickle in a jar be labeled Good Morning, what did the language of Shakespeare and Milton had to do with this gastronomic abomination was beyond me  then eureka! I saw the light - Russian alcoholics are known to quench their morning first with pickle juice. I am quite sure there is no tradition of guzzling down pickle juice or eating sour pickles in the morning in the any English speaking country I am familiar (certainly not in the USA, not  as far as I know), but the thing is labeled in English because those who labeled that (frankly disgusting) condiment are culturally inadequate.

Feel (the) energy.

As I saw from the larger scan later the basilisk inside the kiosk did not enjoy being photographed - even though I did  enjoy photographing it, I took the picture "on the go" without setting up a tripod or even stopping for more than a fraction of a second sufficient to release the shutter of my Semflex, I did survive though she was securely caged in the confines of the kiosk.

a follow up to the earlier post - or what should be done

That's a commentary to the previous article that was censored in the UK.

Estonia is an ethno-Nazi statelet. The problem  why Estonia is like that is Russia's, because not only the tribal statelet of Estonia is to blame but the Muscovite khanate shares guilt for this Nazi extravaganza as well.  Muscovite Oligarchy and the Thieving Class use  ethnostates on Russia's periphery for their own interests. The category of beneficiaries includes  Putin hismefl who indirectly does brisk business with Estonian ethno-Nazis. Even Russian electricity that is exported to Finland goes through an intermediary based in the Estonian ethno-statelet. Never mind that there were over 20 000 Russian Federation tourists each spending on average 400 euros who came to Reval (the ethno-Nazi word for that city is Tallin or Tallinn) for this New Year, naturally if Russia had anything close to the embargo the US maintains against Iran and North Korea no one would have come. The problem is that in effective terms - transit, re-export, money laundering, the share of Russian Federation represnets about 60% of Estonian ethnostate's economy, 10 additional percent are earned by ethnic Estonian organized crime as ethnic Estonian criminals are largest purveyors of synthetic drugs to consumers in the Western European markets, I guess about 10 comes from goods and services, 5% from agriculture and industry,  10% are remittances by   migrants since more people left ethno-Nazi paradise of Estonia that were human losses to war, migration and disease in both First and Second World War combined and the remainder comes from direct and indirect EU handouts.

If Russia were to impose total and unconditional blockade on the ethno-Nazi statelet, it would collapse in the matter of - I would estimate - six months.  Under current conditions - were Russia to impose sanctions right now - it would probably either bring euro down or push it closer to the edge of the abyss into which it will eventually fall. Russia has to differentiate between friend and foe and not treat everyone equally. That's biggest challenge new Russian government would face.

Ultimately, in times of international crisis, a strategy must be prepared to eradicate Estonia once and for all in such a manner that the tribal statelet would never be resurrected in any way or form (how to do that is a different subject though I believe it is to accomplish).

Verbal protestations by the embassy of the Muscovite state are useless, it's idle talk, because financial interests of its Moscow based junta and financial oligarchy are linked with ethno-Nazis. If that were not the case, the ethno-Nazis would not even bring the subject of SS murders being granted veteran status now if they knew that the consequences would , let me suggest just the first package of measures:
ban on any transit
stop lectricity supplies or transit
closure of all border crossings except pedestrian ones and ban on any tourist traffic to Estonia
ban on flights of aircraft registered in the ethno-statelet to Russia and
ban on any financial or any business-related activities by Estonian or partially Estonian owned companies and interests in Russia (of course people of other ethnic groups who are not Nazis, should not be punished
a ban of vessel and cruise ship entrance - if a vessel enters a port under control of the ehtno-Nazis, then should not be allowed ever to enter any Russian Federation port (same could be applied to aircraft, an aircraft that landed in Reval or ethno-Nazi Tallinn can no longer land anywhere in Russia and
if a company that does in business in Estonia or buys anything from Estonia, goods or services, it would not be allowed to do business in Russia. These are just a few measures for the beginning which I believe could be used as the first salvo in what can be a short battle to bring the tribal Estonian ethno state down which each day grows more insolent and obnoxious.

A vanished article - how a heretical article on Mart Laar the head of Estonian ethnic Nazis proclaiming SS men "freedom fighters" was pulled off the Daily Mirror website on the orders of the British Gestapo, its foreign affiliates and the Ministry of Truth.

An article appeared on the pages of the Daily Mail and was quickly pulled down, probably on the orders of the ethno-Nazi statelet's Gestapo (called Kapo) and its British affiliate - the MI5 or MI6 - what is the name of the one that runs propaganda. The rapidity with which the article was pulled down is quite remarkable. Generally speaking the article was pro-Estonia or pro-Nazi (which is now same thing) but something irritated the ideological bosses at the Ministry of Propaganda who called the Daily Mail outfit and told them to pull the heretical article right off.

Notice that the sign that was worn as a arm patch by ethnic Estonian Nazis is so reminiscent of the Euro sign, let's hope the end will be the same both for the euro and for the Estonian Nazis the current EU (the Evil Union) nourishes and protects.

The article is below. My commentary will follow

Estonia has caused outrage with plans to honour hundreds of Nazi collaborators. The EU country is expected to give official ‘freedom fighter’ status to veterans of the 20th Waffen Grenadier Division. Several hundred who fought in the Estonian SS gather annually to commemorate their role in battles against Soviet forces.
The division was founded in 1944 by the occupying Nazis. The veterans say they allied with the Nazis to defend their country from the Soviets but anti-Nazi campaigners claim the troops were involved in war crimes against civilians. Johan Backman, of World without Nazism, said: ‘The Estonian SS legionaries did not fight for Estonia. They fought for Hitler.’ Russia described the move as ‘blasphemous and unacceptable.
Several hundred men who fought in the Estonian SS still gather every year to commemorate their role in battles against Soviet forces.
The division was founded in 1944 by the occupying Nazis - three years after Germany launched Operation Barbarossa and invaded Russia with the most powerful invasion force in history. More than three million German troops attacked in three parallel offensives. Despite warnings that Germany could not fight a war on two fronts, Hitler saw the Russian invasion of Romania in 1940 as a threat to his Balkan oil supply and invaded with 3,000 tanks, 2,500 aircraft and 7,000 artillery pieces.
The Red Army was disorganised and the Germans were able to push 300 miles into Russia before the winter hit and the advance slowed. The war on the Eastern Front went on for four bloody years and arguably resulted in the eventual defeat of the Nazis.

At the last gathering of the Estonian veterans in August last year, they were promised the Tallinn government was moving to officially recognise them in 2012. The move is being spearheaded by powerful Defence Minister Mart Laar, the country's ex-premier. 'If Mart Laar makes any promise, he will move to his goal like a tank, and you will be freedom fighters as early as next year,' said Tarmo Kruusimae, activist of ruling party Union of Pro Patria and Res Publica.

Legislation is now being drawn up in Tallinn which now aims to keep this promise to all those who fought in Estonia against the USSR. The SS veterans claim they only allied with the Nazis to defend their country from Soviet invasion. In the event, their efforts failed and the Baltic state was swallowed up by the Soviet Union for more than four decades.

But anti-Nazi campaigners dismiss this and claim the Estonians were collaborators involved in war crimes against civilians. Mr Backman, a leader of the international human rights group World Without Nazism, added: 'The government is trying to create a new history of Estonia, which is very dangerous for the young generation.'

The Russian embassy in Tallinn claimed legislation to name them 'freedom fighters' was a bid to 'cover the atrocities committed by Estonian Nazi collaborators'. This was 'blasphemous and unacceptable' and should be abandoned, said Moscow. 'We hope that in this case common sense, conscience and a feeling of responsibility will prevail.'

Michael Parenti on Vaclav Havel

In his blog entry Must We Adore Vaclav Havel? (no we shouldn't),  Michael Parente publishes an excerpt from his book  Blackshirts and Reds (1997) pp. 97-99: I.

While provides a good essence of what Vaclav Havel did and did not do as well as some insight into Havelite ideology, there is one passage that is not entirely accurate. Let me quote this excerpt:

"In the Czech and Slovak republics, former aristocrats or their heirs were being given back all lands their families had held before 1918 under the Austro-Hungarian empire, dispossessing the previous occupants and sending many of them into destitution."

This is not exactly accurate however. The restitution was selective and was to an extent determined by ethnicity. Czech Republic is an ethnic state.  Like are Estonia or Latvia - though of course Czechs are indefinitely better people than either Estonians and Latvians and unlike the latter two Czechs and Moravians do posses their own history and culture. I even would testify Czechs have numerous good human qualities and for the most part fantastic people, while Estonians and Latvians are not (and that is a generalization because there are still good Esths, don't know much about individual Letts as from what I know their case might be hopeless, but I am sure even a few Letts have not yet lost last vestiges of their humanity).

An ethnic state is an entity that emerged between Russian and former Austrian and German empires in the aftermath of World War I as either a separate "state" or a "republic" within former USSR, mainly with help of the so-called allies, and justified by ideas of Woodrow Wilson (the 20th century most destructive man) and Vladimir Lenin (runs in the semi-finals. Obviously Wilson and Lenin were not members of the same gang of conspirators but ideas of ethnic determination rechristened as "national" determination for the goals of projecting power, be in American or Bolshevik, were similar). Outside of the USSR the ethnic state has been instrumental in  conducting US influence where none was historically present or acting as transplanted power base for American imperialism (which in terms of geopolitics assumed all of the roles of the German Nazism after the Second World War) . Collectively those states and statelets are always somebody's "Trojan Horse". They are a remote control sort of power dressed up in the costume of national or rather determinatio.  Their sole reason for existence is the ethnicity of their members and the tribal allegiance.  Because those states are nonviable (in the original sense of the word) on their own,  they rely upon  support of and hope for their defense (which may or may not be forthcoming) by a  third power or sometimes powers which   always remain outsiders, are physically located outside of their region. That definition applies to practically all post WWI and post WWII ethnostates with possibly an exception in the form of the former Yugoslavia and Finland. Frequently a mere possibility of losing overseas support from a the adopted daddy leads to those statelets collapsing in an instant and sometimes they fail in a spectacular manner.

Thus said the restitution policy in the Czech Republic was not supposed to cover Nazi collaborators. However Vaclav Havel, who comes from a family of Iron-Cross-wearing Goebbels-kissing Nazi collaborators, "excepted" his own dishonorable self and "restituted" a number of properties, some awarded by the Nazis which since became public property, to himself.  

But that was it. Besides that restitution only took place when the nationality or rather background was Slav, and ethnicity Czech or Slovak.  People of German descent or foreigners who did not cooperate with the Nazis and had nothing with to do with them (such as Princes of Liechtenstein) never got back  ancestral properties that was stolen from them by the nationalist Czech state.  Over two million people of wrong ethnicity, so called Germans, disenfranchised, stripped of citizenship, beaten up, and expelled (and quarter a million, mainly women and kids, murdered) under criminal misrule of Edvard Beneš (Edward Benesch) , who unlike Havel were not Nazis, and who did nothing wrong except speaking a wrong language, were not compensated in any form.

In fact the topic of official Czech crimes between 1945 and 1948 was never on the agenda as that short era was deemed "democratic" (it was just violent though it now seems both words are increasingly becoming synonymous) and neither was the restitution for the victims. Restitution nvolved mainly those who were either extremely favorable to the nationalist Czech state or the "own kind" selected with tribal criteria. In that respect the Czech restitution did not differ from the restitution policies in the former Soviet republics of Estonia and Latvia.

Vaclav Havel, an Obituary

Finally though belatedly, it could have happen so many years or even decades earlier, something so many good people in and outside of former Czechoslovakia  waited for so long and so impatiently, happened. The American prostitute, fascist whore and perhaps the most rabid Russophobe on the surface of this planet  (counting all those species outside of America, the UK,  the three so-called Baltic States and Poland),  the creature both poisonous and irrational in its multitude of hatreds, anti-Slav and the true anti-European, died. 

Vaclav Havel kicked the bucket. 

Vaclav Havel was not a playwright as propagandists claim him to be - few people  tried to read the subtly political, then openly propagandist, effluent he produced. Those who did as had the misfortune of attempting on a few occasions,  must have repulsed by the boredom and the manifest lack of any talent, even not by excessively high Czech writing standards (I could name two Czech language writers off hand, who are worthy of the title though both had lived in the 1920s).

Vaclav Havel is an example of a political writer, a pamphleteer of a camouflaged genre, one gets awards, praise and ultimately benefits for the political content of his opuses employed in service of the Evil Empire or the postwar American Reich in its fight against Communism or Russia and not for artistic merits of his work.

Solzhenitsyn was also an author who benefited from Evil Empire's propagandist quest - though unlike Havel, Solzhenitsyn was a decent human being and a good writer. Solzhenitsyn got all sorts of awards, was honored with massive number of translations, life time Bible-like number of copies in print, the Noble Prize for literature (well Obama or Obomber got the Noble Prize for Peace, so much for the nobility of the Noble Prize), obtained mandatory university reading status (the totalitarianism canard) and lastly veneration that was appropriate for a divinity. When Solzhenitsyn became more of a himself and took most of ideology out of his writing, he stopped being an author that anyone noticed in the Evil Empire (the USA) at least. It is worth to point out that Solzhenitsyn's seminal two volume work on Russo-Jewish relations, Two Centuries Together (also translated as Two Hundred Years  Together, though sounds a bit odd to my ear), was ignored in America and the UK and no publisher dared to print it and as of 2011 no English translation exists, though there is one in French (Deux siècles ensemble) and even in German (Zweihundert Jahre zusammen). 

Vaclav Havel never faced Solzhenitsyn's dilemma as he remained a prostitute, Russophobe, Atlantist, anti-Slav and a propagandist American whore to the end, even after (he luckily) stopped penning his pamphlets.

Vaclav Havel came from what used to be a well-to-do family under hideous interwar ethnic despotism of Bohemian Czechs otherwise remembered as Czechoslavkia. After Hitler eliminated Czechoslovakia (Slovakia seceded at the first opportunity, who wouldn't, with full consent of the former Entente Allies, the only party that protested in any meaningful way was Stalinist Soviet Union), and the statelet was split into protectorates of Bohemia (actual "Czechia") and Moravia,  Vaclav Havel's family cooperated with the Nazis until the end when of course they switched sides and overnight became Czech patriots.  Being a collaborator and a traitor seems to be a genetic property inherent to Havel's family. I am unaware of any instance of Vaclav Havel condemning the ethnic cleansing, massacres and expulsion of genocidal scale of Czechoslovakia's German speaking citizens perpetrated by the pro-American, so called democratic Czech state, between 1945 and 1948, a crime that was far greater that anything Soviet Union committed anywhere, a crime that in its hideousness and monstrosity is comparable only to the events that got collective appellation of Holocaust in the American usage , that semantic shift thing, in the 1960s . 

Stalin, the great benefactor of the ungrateful and the patron of the wrong (though an enemy of Russian nation),   felt an affection for little pesky tribes (as he originated from a particularly evil one),  had a passion for artificial tribal statelets and constructs, like Estonia, which he for some reason preserved (a tragic deed in the retrospective) but he also helped to recreate Czechoslovakia, once again as a centralized Prague-governed ethnic dictatorship despite wishes of some 70% of population that would have rather not lived under a centralized arrangement called Czechoslovakia. That proportion of population was reduced by about 25% as German speaking citizens, the so called Sudeten German or Sudetendeusche were murdered and expelled in an act of ethnic cleansing committed by the Czech State (not yet Slovak state, because Slovaks had no state but were dragged into this yet unholy union this time recreated with Stalin's assistance) on a scale unprecedented in the entire European history. Even mass disenfranchisement of Russian speakers by the ethno Nazi statelets of Estonia and Latvia  in the 1990s did reach a fraction of the scale of evil that marked Czech ethnic cleansing of Sudeten, Bohemian and Moravian Germans.  Although under NATO and EU protection the fascist statelets of Estonia and Latvia are engaged in ethnocide and language discrimination on a scale quite unprecedented anywhere, and people of wrong ethnicites are forced to leave through indirect pressure, so far only a few wrong humans (Slavs that is)  were actually murdered by Estonian and Latvian Nazis during last 20 years. On the other hand the ethnic cleansing in post 1945 Czechoslovakia was massive, murderous and was carried out fast.  

Although few realize that Czechoslovakia perished in 1939 and was never formally resurrected, despite markings on manufactured products like "Made in Czechoslovakia" ashtrays and hockey related news, and the new state was called Czech and Slovak Republic, its essence remained the same. The new state engaged in ethnic cleansing of Germans and wanton murder of Slovak dissidents and clerics but like all ethnic states went easy on its own ilk, namely it really did not do much against the ethnic Czechs who cooperated with the Nazis (and that's about the entire nation.  Even Reinhard Heydrich murderers had to be shipped from England). If that were not the case Vaclav Havel's parents would have been punished. Vaclav Havel came from an anti democratic, fascist family, credentials he kept true to throughout his life.  Miloš Havel made Nazi propaganda movies, dined with Goebbels and even got an iron cross. Though Vaclav Havel betrayed Germans of Bohemia and Moravia (but never really mentioning them or calling in for restitution of property from which they were robbed, the traitor is always a traitor, treason is a trait),  characteristically he continued same sort of service his familiar predecessors rendered to the Nazi propagandist except that he served interests of the United States as the latter took upon itself the Third Reich's role of the Crusader in Chief against Communist and Russia in any form, Communist or not.  

Vaclav Havel's Russophobia was unusual by Czech standards.

Ironically under Vaclav Havel presidency (though he formally resigned) Hitler's job of destroying Czechoslovakia was complete. This is perhaps his life's greatest and most ironic achievement.

Burn in hell, Vaclav. 

A few words on Libya, its enslavement, and also on so called Baltic States and their theory of “Occupation”

A few words on Libya, enslavement of Libya, and on so called Baltic States and the theory of “Occupation”

The Essence:
Russian Federation and the countries it can get on board
1)    Should not approve any UN mandate for NATO or any third power to stay on the ground or enter Libya to "stabilize it" or сommit more murders.
2)    Should condemn the US/NATO aggression against Libya and declare the UN mandate is abused and hence void.
3)    Should not extend any recognition to the government imposed on Libyans by force and NATO airport
4)    Should help to form Libyan government in exile and maintain the premise that Libya is now occupied. The Libyan government in exile can be based in South Africa.
5)    Prepare an international convention on regime change – or change of government imposed by a colonial power as defined by aggressor power or coalition of powers which do not share a natural border with the victim state, under which any alternation of government produced by force or threat of use of force (repeating Vienna convention) convention such as occurred in Libya and Iraq will not be recognized. Even if the USA and NATO vultures would abstain from such a convention, the rest of the world would sign up.

The Summary:
After self-dissolution of the Soviet Union, the USA and some of its NATO vassals revived a myth of the Baltic occupation. Supposedly the so-called Baltic States were incorporated in the USSR because the USSR threatened to use force unless left governments are brought into power. Consequently the USA and the UK now claim they never recognized incorporation of the Baltic States within the Soviet Union. Even if the USSR did threaten to use force, the threat was not illegal from the standpoint of international law as it existed in the 1940. Only the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969) outlawed threat of use of force in international relations (which makes all agreements signed by the USA and its vassals, by the NATO and even by the UN with nations as diverse and far apart geographically from each other as Serbia and Afghanistan null and void).
Although the USA did not recognize peaceful Baltic unification within the Soviet Union, and that was wrong, the right thing to do for Russia and other non-allied states it can muster around, would be to put forward a notion, which can then be codified into international law, that no new government of a nation or territory that was changed by an outside force or a coalition of states with which the said nation shares no borders, i.e. by an act of direct colonial aggression disguised as a mission to protect civilians, would ever be recognized as legitimate. Furthermore all nations where change of government occurred due to or with assistance of military action by third states or coalition of states with which the nation where change of government occurred shares no common border, i.e in the course of colonial action, would be considered occupied. Furthermore an election held in presence of the foreign forces should be considered illegitimate as it is conducted under threat of use of force.
Using similar logic
Russia (and China and any other states such as members of the African Union) should not recognize new foreign-imposed governments of Libya and withdraw recognition from governments which were created through foreign occupation (namely the government of today's Afghanistan). Russia, China, Africa Union should help establish governments in exile for Libya and other states wrecked by NATO and deny the occupiers the legitimacy they so crave for. 



The Story of the Baltic Occupation:
In the 1940 Soviet armed forces entered Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, all three territories were former Russian provinces, and not independent countries in any historic sense except perhaps for Lithuania which might have existed like mythical Israel of yore (the modern state of Israel bases its claims to the lands underneath it on... Biblical evidence) or as a part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and a footnote in the Eastern European history of the Late Middle Ages. Neither Latvia nor Estonia had any historical record of existence and in case of Latvia did not even appear as a geographical concept until the end of the First World War when both Estonia and Latvia were created in a plot of local ethnic nationalists (future ethno-Nazis, in case of Estonia it is even today run by ethnic Nazis) and Bolsheviks. The only power which recognized Estonia and Latvia at the time were two bandits – Lenin and Trotsky. The legitimacy of those ethnic states formed in the Russian lands is based on the original Leninist recognition.

In 1939 three by the then time fascist statelets signed pacts of mutual defense with the Soviet Union. In 1940 – at the time of spectacular Nazi successes – Soviet Union insisted on establishing military bases in fascist ethnic statelets of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. No a shot was fired. After situation in Europe escalated, Paris fell to the Nazis (was declared an open city), the Soviet Union forced what amounted to ultimatum to the fascist governments in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and brought about replacement of fascist governments with left ones,which after the referendum joined the Soviet Union. During all this time not a bomb fell and not a shot was fired.

Although the incorporation of the Baltic Republics was lawful, legal, historically just (as it was Russian state's territory) and although ethnic states are abomination in and by themselves, and although the unification of Baltic Provinces and the USSR was recognized at Yalta, Potsdam and later Helsinki (On Security and Cooperation in Europe, Final Act of 1975 which recognized borders of the Soviet Union as unchangeable and legal as they were of August 1, 1975; recognized by the United States as well), after the dissolution of the Soviet Union the Nazi monster reared its ugly head again. After the defeat of Germany in 1945, the United States assumed on the role of the Third Reich in respect to anti-Communism, in certain ways Americanism is Nazism as foundation of American power in Europe was based not on forces which fought Nazism but precisely on those which were allied with the Nazism. Needless to say most enthusiastic supporters of the United States are Nazis, that is obvious especially in Eastern Europe, from Croatia to Estonia.

One of the most hideous propaganda myth was the notion spread by American State Department and the Nazis (literally Estonian and Latvian Nazis who fled the justice for the safety of American protection, as the USA was always willing to help Nazis as it was ready to help Islamists if the fight against Russia - or in fact any independent state - was at stake) that somehow three Baltic territories (now called Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) were occupied by the Soviet Union.

Of course Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were never occupied by the Soviet Union, but as a justification for the theory the USA propagandists and the Nazis put forth a theory that the incorporation in the USSR was less than lawful because threat (!) of use of force (though no actual force) might have been used to induce the statelets to bring left governments into power and abolish native fascist regimes which the USA would have preferred then as it does now. In 2008 the United States Senate even demanded that Russia “recognizes occupation of the Baltic states” (Something Russia cannot possibly do because there was no occupation, this is American Nazi propaganda canard).

Indeed in 1969 the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties was signed. As far as I know I know all members of the NATO are signatories of the treaty. The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties states explicitly that force or threat of use of force makes any international agreement void - Article 52 - Coercion of a State by the threat or use of force 247 A treaty is void if its conclusion has been procured by the threat or use of force. This means of course that all treaties and agreements the American Nazis and their European vassals have “reached” in, with or in respect to Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Ivory Coast, Haiti Yugoslavia (as a historic entity), Serbia, Kosovo (a part of Serbia illegally occupied by NATO at this time), Bosnia, etc. are not worth the paper they are written on.

Soviet Union did not occupy Baltic States and even  if even used a threat of force, if there was any as there is no evidence of such threat , this was not illegal under international law of the late 1940s.

The USA occupies Iraq and Afghanistan and the USA has destroyed peaceful, prosperous state of Libya that was no threat to anyone. The regime that is about to seize control of Libya was brought in to power through murder, by American drones and NATO bombers.

Russian Federation  should not allow this crime to go either unpunished or unnoticed.
Of course, Russian Federation is used almost metaphorically, someone has to come forward, the Republic of South Africa is also a great candidate to unify Africa, the world and deny Nazi rats and colonialists the legitimacy they seek.

1)    Russia (or any other third country like China or Venezuela) should not approve any UN mandate for stabilizing Libya and should use it veto power if necessary to stop any UN resolution on Libya that might somehow abet or aid USA and NATO in their task of enslaving that African nation and stealing its natural resources.
2)    The ongoing US/NATO aggression against Libya should be condemned. Unconditionally and without any reservations as of. The original UN mandate for protecting civilians and establishing a non-fly zone was misused and abused. 
3)    Russia, China and non-aligned states should organize a diplomatic effort to deny any recognition to the would-be government of thugs, murderers and rapists which “succeeded” in destroying Libya with the help of NATO air power.
4)    A Libyan government in exile should be formed (perhaps in the Republic of South Africa) and it should be  maintained that Libya is occupied. No elections which resulted in campaign of bombing and murder should be considered legitimate.
5)    We need an international convention on anti-colonialism,  analogues to the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties that would deny legitimacy to governments formed by or outright imported by imperialist powers and deny any legitimacy to elections held under  duress or in presence of foreign troops.

Double or triple standards - bloggers / facebook authors get four years prison sentences in Britain

In the UK two brave individuals were punished with four years sentences for speaking up and calling upon their fellow citizens to revolt against their oppressors.

A Russian blogger, Savva Terentiev (also spelled Terentyev and Terentjev) got a political asylum in the ethnofascist statelet of Estonia, I wrote about Savva in my Russian blog though haven't yet finished the exposé. In  private blog of a local journalist in Syktavkar (a nominally Finno-Ugric duchy  deep in the lands of the Punista khanate),   Savva Terentyev proposed to build Auschwitz-like ovens and to burn members of Putinista militia or now those animals are called police, alive. I must say that to a degree I sympathize with what Savva Terentyev had to say and seconded that sentiment (of cremating Soviet-Russia militia alive, they are pestilence and people detest them).  Savva, a wise and thoughtful man,  a genius in fact,  provided a link to his personal website containing his home address and did not forget to leave his phone number as well . Because even the Scotland Yard would have found him under the circumstances,  predictably enough the militia murderers caught up with him as well.  They did not kill him though. There was alas no bloody scene. I remember signing some petition in his defense.  Savva Terentyev was tried by an inhumane Russian court, got a suspended sentence of one year of which he did not serve a day. Instead he moved to St. Petersburg. Then he moved (in a comfortable tourist bus) to ethnofasist statelet of Estonia where he, his wife and their offspring were  immediately granted political asylum that came in a package with a  generous ethno-Nazi stipend.  He promptly went on the radio praising Nazism,  denouncing ethnic Russians who oppress poor Estonians and was thanking (profusely) the current ethnocracy in Estonia who met him and his family (in his literal words) with open arms as their dear guests. 

A guy wrote something in a a facebook or private blog (and I am in support of free speech all hundred percent, no censorship please) and was persecuted by a court in Russia, did not serve a day in prison, was for his ordeal  proclaimed a  martyr for free speech in the EU; he  finally  got a political asylum in the EU (while nobody knows anything about his political views except that he calls to burn people alive - like the Nazis burned Jews - these are his own words, not mine).  Two other guys  do almost the same in the UK except that they do not call for murder of anyone but only for freedom - and they get immediately punished with four year actual prison sentences.

Where are the petitions? Where are the tears? The chest beating? The public outcry?   Why is no EU state offering asylum to those martyrs for free speech? Weird. I am puzzled. Are you?

On August 11, 2011 Estonian Nazi thugs murdered Karen Drambian (also spelled as Drambjan and Drambyan) , a human rights activist, writer and a lawyer, apparently in cold blood, while staging a wild theatrical propaganda performance in the process.

The event was widely misreported by American and British media, which function as a mouthpiece for fascist and Estonian propaganda due to strategic considerations and also cultural pathologies such as ingrained and deep seated Russophobia.  The linked news article has an illustration (which shows  the old Russian palace at the Domberg, not the ethno-Nazi Ministry of Defense, which it supposed to depict).

The story developed as follows.

A man exploded bombs in the Estonia ministry of defense.

Hostages taken. 
Then it turns out that no bombs exploded.

Then it turns out no hostages were taken.

Then the man commits suicide.

Then it turns out he was not even a human but a Russian.

Later acknowledgement come in that he was killed in a shootout with Nazi guards or individuals whom the EU and NATO media refer to as Estonian police.

Andrus Ansip, the mini Führer of the ethno-fascist Estonian statelet claimed, with a perfectly straight face, that Karen Drambian was inspired by Breivik, the homicidal Norwegian Nazi militant. 

Let us set the record straight and compare two cases:

Breivik killed almost one hundred people.

He shot children.

He finished dying kids off in an act of almost unfathomable inhumanity.

Karen Drambian killed nobody but could have killed many.

The building were events took place is next to Solaris shopping center with thousands of pedestrians in what American military calls a target rich environment.  Karen Drambyan could have shot at least as many people as Breivik had.  If Drambjan had explosives as Nazi propagandists and their American and British sponsors now claim, then he could have caused sensational amount of damage. 

However Karen Drambjan did not even attempt to take any hostages.
There were no explosions.
No damage either. 

One important thing about this link is that it states that there is 25% Russian minority in Estonia by relying only on an Estonian ethno-Nazi claim which itself is based on classification of people by ethnicity, something civilized societies don't do but which is a norm in fascist Estonia - more on that later. 

Estonians are themselves a tribe and classify themselves in ethnic terms. But Russians are not. The actual Russian minority in today's statelet of Estonia, including all people of different backgrounds, is over 40%.  Here are two personal examples. During my sojourn in the fascist statelet I employed two babysitters for my kid. One girl was an ethnic Buryat and the second lady was a retired flight attendant from Armenia. In fascist Estonia both considered themselves Russian. Actually I realized how great was the unifying power of Russia, Russian culture and language only in  Estonia, now trampled under ethnostate's stinky foot.  Also only in Estonia I understood what is racism about and how discrimination looks like - not in America, France, Austria, Germany or the Czech Republic but in Estonia I saw the ethnic fascism's hideous face. I also understood why did Estonians kill their fellow citizens, Jews, during ethnic cleansing of the 1940s.

My Buryat babysitter has a gorgeous boy who is half ethnic Estonian. But the boy considers himself Russian. He talks of Estonians as of "fascists" and though was only five years old at the time sayd that he wants to kill them all.  Nowhere else did I see the intensity of suppressed ethnic hatred as great as in Estonia.

Karen Drambjan, the man in the news who was called a terrorist though he committed no acts of terror and hostage taker but who took no hostages was a prolific essay writer and put together a manifesto on the state of interethnic relations in Estonia.   I will translate this manifesto on some other occasion.  Karen Drambjan was born in Soviet Armenia, was ethnically Armenian and considered himself Russian. He was one of greatest Russians in today's statelet of Estonia. A true hero who was murdered for his views.

The killing according to the semi-official version. 

Supposedly Nazi thugs (Estonian police) broke into the building of the Defense Ministry and supposedly Karen Drambjan returned fire when they fired at him, with obvious attempt of murdering him, and was killed in the process.

Now remember they did not kill Breivik who murdered 100 people but they killed subhuman Karen Drambyan who did not murder anyone. 

That's an important fact to keep in mind. The phony double genocide theory comes up as a parallel.

Under the circumstances,  anywhere else in Europe and the USA, authorities would hold negotiations which may go on perhaps for days until the suspect surrenders and even in America I cannot see how a man would be murdered for sport on the spot without even an attempt at negotiation:  Karen Drambjan was no danger to society or to anybody else. 

Prominent Estonian Nazi Hardo Aasmäe, former mayor of Tallinn and a  Russophobe of some note, presents his version under title of "We don't get this sort of jokes". Under his version of events  Karen Drambyan wanted to get arrested and use the courtroom, Dimitrov-style,  for spreading awareness about apartheid state in Estonia and discrimination of the Russian speakers. This was an attention grabbing plot which should have never been allowed to succeed and that's why we killed him says Hardo Aasmäe .  What  the Nazi means is that Estonian  state would kill anyone who may attract too much attention to its malfeasance or to the issue of ethnic discrimination especially someone who allegedly did it as spectacularly as Karen Drambayan. 

The interview with Hardo Aasmäe,  in Russian. 

Here is what actually happened. Another version of events as narrated to me by local Esths or Estonians.   It is more prosaic than Hardo Aasmäe's version of events.

Since Estonia is an ethnic totalitarian state, local Gestapo (Kapo) maintains a near total surveillance of human rights activists and any sort of dissidents like any kind of opposition to the tribal state is suppressed.   Estonia is the state for a tribe called Estonians and others must live by their rules.  Russian language is outlawed. Karen Drambian, a hero and a brilliant author, was also a vocal critic of fascism, Nazism and of ethnic Estonian state.  By murdering him the Estonian state of Laar and Ansip could achieve a number of goals.  Firstly,  silence a voice that opposes Nazism (a dangerous thing to do in a fascist state that is Estonia anyway). Secondly, achieve a propaganda coup - prove to its American masters (the US embassy is just a few hundred meters away) that Estonian fascists are fighting Russian terrorism. And thirdly, show that people who sympathize with those pesky inferior Russians are unstable,  psychotic, and are a danger.  Karen Drambian was an obvious choice for this almost ritual sacrifice.   

Because Karen Drambian was an Armenian, his life held no value on the ethno-Nazi scale. He was probably deemed as worthless as a Jew though may be slightly more valuable than a Russian or a nigger (in Estonian parlance both are same),  all in all to the ethnostate people his life held less value than that of  a dead mole. 

What might have happened: he was murdered by Estonian Gestapo, called Kapo, and his body was brought to the Ministry of Defense. After that a spectacle, a theatrical performance was staged. In the aftermath of the killing (he was probably killed hours and hours before the event), the place was calm, Estonian Nazi police were laughing and joking (ah, just killed a nigger),   Estonian journalists were giggling, there was Mart Laar, walking around like a fat-filled piece of ravioli without any obvious protection, and no, this did not look like a hostage taking scene.  Under cover of darkness the body of murdered Karen Drambjan was removed. I assume it was brought in also under cover of darkness. 

I believe in  this version: The Estonian Gestapo / Kapo murdered Karen Drambyan somewhere else and then used his remains in the Nazi theater performance. The argument for this is simple enough. Although the co-called ministry of defense of the ethno-Nazi Estonian state is located in an area with dense pedestrian traffic next to a shopping center, the building itself is heavily guarded. There are police cars on alert right opposite from the entrance.  Nazi guards are all over. Pacing back and forth. People who enter the building are checked on the outside. There is a metal detector one has to walk through before he gets in. In brief it is all but impossible for someone who is unarmed to enter the building.  Because Karen Drambyan allegedly had a loaded pistol, hundred or so of spare rounds of ammunition (not too many by the way, ethno-Nazis should have claimed that he had thousands) and sacks of explosives, his entry to the building through the main guarded entrance must either be an event that occurred in the realm of the supernatural or a (science) fiction story.  The latter is more credible, in fact one can even recognize the authorship .  Another argument - Karen Drambyan was quite a prolific writer and he would have for sure left an appeal, a list of demands or a manifest of some kind in case if he really decided to attract attention to the plight of subhumans (Russians in Estonian classification) in Estonia under the EU, US and NATO watch before he stormed the heavily guarded Ministry of Defense like a lonely knight and attained the  impossible feat of breaking into the armed compound soundlessly while being unobserved  lest resisted by  automatic weapons brandishing guards or for that matter by anyone else, what a miracle! and then by by-passing metal detectors and storming onward through the massive instantly lockable remotely controlled doors.  

Pure magic.

Yes I do believe in magic but not in ethno-fascist canards. 

Karen Drambjan was murdered before the staged Ministry of Defense break-in. 

This is an American inspired piece of drama written clearly in the familiar Nazi style of dealing with minorities, and narrated in English, read out aloud with heavy Estonian accent.

English language Wikipedia  is operated by the CIA and its regional sites of any ideological interest are run by pro-American groups, in case of Estonia the operators and editors are the Estonian Nazis who have also been running the evil ethnic statelet for the last 20 years. The English Wikipedia has a short article on Viktor Kingissepp. The hatred and propaganda that Wikipedia is soaked in so thoroughly drips down from every sentence.  In the article Viktor Kingissepp is described as a Soviet Communist politician and leader of Estonian Communist party. One very important feature of the foreign workings of the American Empire and its Nazi underlings in Central and Eastern Europe is reclassification of the concept of nationality by reversing the thousand year old tradition of its definition from that of the sovereign allegiance to merely ethnic or tribal affiliation. Suddenly fascist Estonia, a statelet that is barely 20 year old ruled on behalf of a tribe that began identifying itself as such only about 120 years ago, became an ancient nation with history that is older than those of Egypt and Babylon.  The redefinition of one's nationality from sovereign state to tribal identity, something US propagandists  would not of course permit to happen to the US Empire  itself, was instrumental in breaking up Austrian empire in the aftermath of the First World War and creating a number of proto New World Order ethnic states on Russia's periphery. It was also the foundation under Alfred Rosenberg's plans for breaking up Russia into new "ethnic nations", which was adopted wholesale by  American heirs to the Third Reich cause (which was about Anti-Communism and Russophobia, anti-Semitism was incidental as Nazis associated Jews with Bolshevism and disorder).  Today's State Department policies toward Russia are based on these Alfred Rosenberg's blueprints.  English Wikipedia in reference to the former Russian Empire classifies people only by ethnicity per desires of local ethno-Nazis and approval of the American masters though most of those historic personages who are now classed  in  ethnic categories like Ukrainian or Estonian would have never thought of themselves in these terms.  In case of Viktor Kingissepp we face the same case of schizophrenia. The article does not say that Viktor Kingissepp is Estonian, an Esth but in it he becomes a Soviet Communist politician - all other Wikipedia articles would elaborate extensively on every minor personage's ethnic background but suddenly, in violation of all known American and Nazi  rules of how people and history of Russian Empire should be construed and misrepresented,  Viktor Kingissepp becomes a Soviet, a person with no ethnicity. Bizarre.  Naturally enough when you only lie - and that is what Nazi propaganda is all about and have to use ideology all the time to back your inventions (like the preposterous myth about occupation of so-called Baltic states) you are bound to make mistakes now and then.  

Thus English language Wikipedia classifies Viktor Kingissepp as a Soviet (with a link to the American propaganda article about Soviet Union). But Estonian ethnic nationalist thugs (the future Nazis) murdered Viktor Kingissepp in May of 1922 while the Soviet Union was formed months later, in December of 1922. Although Soviet nationality of course existed, Viktor Kingissepp could not have possibly been Soviet unless he traveled forward in time and obtained Soviet citizenship beforehand.

Like murdered Karen Drambian, Viktor Kingissepp was  an attorney.  He was  a Russian lawyer trained at the University of St. Petersburg.  He was also born a  Russian subject and he never recognized Estonian ethnic state.  Estonian ethno-nationalists, the progenitors of  local Nazis, killed him for his beliefs. Like Karen Drambian, Viktor Kingissepp did not take any hostages.    Unlike Karen Drambian who was just murdered in cold blood by Ansip and Laar's Nazis and the Estonian Gestapo (Kapo - which of course not just sounds almost identically to and  rhymes with Gestapo, but means same thing,  has same behavioral traits and shares common historical identity), Viktor Kingissepp was dragged in front of a kangaroo court that had no jurisdiction over him and then murdered in cold blood on the same day with his body removed under cover of darkness, like the body of murdered Karen Drambian, and thrown into the sea.   

Estonian ethnic nationalist court claim of having jurisdiction over Viktor Kingissepp was zoologically simple, since definition of nationality for those animals is tribal, that of a herd,  then Viktor Kingissepp could be tried and murdered because he was an Estonian, an Esth and a traitor to the tribal cause  as he did not believe that an Estonian state in that particular shape had any right to exist. The Nazism in reverse - not just Jews are to be killed because they are Jews but Estonians can be killed because they are Estonians who are not supportive of the tribal state's idea and hence are traitors due to accident of their birth as Estonians. 

I did not bring the story of Viktor Kingissepp here up just for nothing.

In the aftermath of the destruction of the Bronze Soldier in 2007 and the desecration of the wartime graves because they were Soviet and belonged to Russian subhumans (in very words of Estonian fascists I talked to), an event that went almost unnoticed in the outside world and which had no immediate consequences for Estonia as members of the top layer of the Russian Federation hierarchy under Putin and Medvedev regime derive financial benefits through Estonian ethnocracy,  there was one widely shared sentiment among many educated Russian speakers and not just among them. After Russian state is revived (and Russian Federation today is not a Russian state) and Russian sovereignty is restored over entire historical territory of the state as it existed before 1917,  naturally enough entities called Estonia and Latvia would have to be erased from the map.  The liquidation of Estonia as ethnostate has to be done in such a manner that the fascist statelet could never be resurrected from  the standpoint of politics or demographics and would be broken into different administrative parts where people of all ethnic backgrounds could speak their native language freely and enjoy identical rights. The finale must be final. One thing however was very important that those who were involved in persecution of other human beings because of their race, ethnicity or beliefs have to be punished.   I do hope that death penalty would be introduced in the territory and really bad Nazis hanged on a wholesale basis (something that wasn't alas done in 1945 as the territory was not denazified after the liberation). 

And here comes the epilogue to the   Viktor Kingissepp's murder story.   Estonian ethno nationalists murdered Viktor Kingissepp in 1922 and they thought they were running the show (as they were at the time) convinced that  big foreign powers are going to protect them forever. They felt they are the masters of life and the arbiters of life and death. That's how ethnic fascist who run today's Estonia feel now.  As Estonia became a fascist state in the late 1920s the murderers became even more comfortable and brazen.  But in 1940 the hellish fascist paradise was dissolved. Oops.  Yes, the wait was long, it  took 18 years but it was worth it. Soviet liberators led by Sergei Kingisepp, the son of slain hero Viktor, mercilessly hunted down Estonian ethno-fascists, those personally participated in the man's murder and murdered other dissidents.  The fake self-appointed judges, prosecutor, prison guards, executioners, all the riffraff, small or large, low and lower, every single creature responsible for the murder was traced, accounted for, hunted down and killed. A few lowlives changed their surnames and went into hiding or fled, but that did not help them,  at the end all of them were found, exposed, denounced  and killed like rabid animals. 

 

I believe that justice and humanity will triumph , and let's hope that not only the perpetrators of the Bronze Night are  brought to swift justice after the ethnic state is dealt with for good and democracy emerges victorious but the case of Karen Drambjan murder does not become somehow forgotten, and that every single individual who was involved in the murder of Karen Drambian will suffer the same fate as one that befell the murderers of Viktor Kingissepp.

Let's hope that in this case however the wait will be shorter than 18 years though.
