The Khodorkovsky Move – A New Front Against Putin

While Mikhail  Gorbachev provided the framework, Boris Yeltsin did  ‘open Russia‘ for the crooks to loot the public wealth and national resources. The likes of Mikhail Khodorkovsky – the parasites of humanity, ended up gobbling the natural resources and financial institutions of Russia, leaving the public in a state of utter destitute.

Khodorkovsky, after embezzling the state deposits, and stealing the state funds allocated for the victims of the Chernobyl, had acquired Yukos – the company holding a vast chunk of Russian Oil and Gas resources, in an ‘auction‘ in 1995. He was arrested in 2003, when he was about to conclude the sale of Yukos to ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco. He was pardoned by Putin in December of 2013, and was allowed to join his other fellow parasites in Europe.

Now, this great Russian patriot, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, unable to curb his love and affection for the motherland, announced from his Paris headquarters on September 20, 2014, that he was ready to lead Russia – to the glorious path of Imperial Democracy and Prosperity.

This announcement, coming on the heal of Putin’s leaked warning that he might end up sacking the Medvedev government, is an interesting, but expected, development. It is an indicator that the pro-West billionaires’ camp is positioning itself to strike back. It may well be the opening salvo leading to a preemptive strike – Mr. Putin better be aware.

Khodorkovsky is being marketed by the western media as the victim of an authoritarian state, a political prisoner, a nationalist and a patriot, a statesman, a successful business man, and a philanthropist.

The Resume of Philanthropist-Patriot-Businessman Mikhail Khodorkovsky:
As the deputy head of Komsomol (the Communist Youth League) during his university years, by exploiting a loophole granted to the organization that enabled them to convert purely administrative currency units (beznalichny rubles) into cash  (nalichny rubles), he stole public funds at a grand scale. The cash reserves he thus accumulated enabled him to eventually create the bank Menatep in 1989.

As one of the top thugs and looters associated with the Yeltsin era, he was appointed Chairman of the Investment Promotion Fund of the fuel and power industry in 1992. He was appointed Deputy Minister of Fuel and Energy of Russia in March 1993. In 1995, his bank, Menatep, acquired Yukos in a sham auction – where he was, in fact, both the auctioneer and the bidder.

With connection to Yeltsin government, his bank Menatep, would hold on to government funds for months at a time, and use those funds to bet against the ruble exchange rate – making large gains for his account at the expense of Russian public. These treacherous bettings contributed in further decimating the Russian currency and economy.

The funds deposited by the government in his Menatep Bank for the purpose of distribution to the victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster were also embezzled. Most of that money never given to the intended parties, and ended up becoming the property of Menatep Bank. That heartless theft of the funds, desperately needed by the victims, caused tremendous pain and suffering to the families of the victims.

Mikhail Khodorkovsky, through these philanthropic acts, ended up accumulating wealth worth billions of dollars.

In 2003, he was about to seal the deal with ExxonMobil and ChevronTexaco to handover the control of Yukos’ assets – the national assets of Russia, when he got busted.

The Seal of Endorsement:
Khodorkovsky is a philanthropist. In 2001, Khodorkovsky launched the Open Russia Foundation in Somerset House in London, owned by the Rothschilds, with Henry Kissinger as its trustee – Anything more is needed after this connection?

Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s opening salvo:
The Khodorkovsky camp, lead by the Russian patriots of similar integrity, Paris-based Sergei Guriyev, London-based Yevgeny Chichvarkin and Boris Berezovsky, and former deputy finance minister and economist (Yeltsin gang) Sergei Aleksashenko, is being revamped and positioned to ‘Open Russia’ again – The Yeltsin style.

On September 20, 2014, from his ‘Open Russia platform, announced that he was ready to lead Russia. He graced the public by stating:

“I would not be interested in the idea of becoming president of Russia at a time when the country would be developing normally”.

“But if it appeared necessary to overcome the crisis and to carry out constitutional reform, the essence of which would be to redistribute presidential powers in favour of the judiciary, parliament and civil society, then I would be ready to take on this part of the task.”

“We believe that the statement ‘Russia is not Europe’ is a lie that is being imposed on society on purpose.”

“This is being done by those who want to rule the country for life, those who want to spit upon law and justice”

“We are Europe, both in terms of geography and culture.

“We are not simply Russian Europeans. We are patriots. And true patriots even during pitch-dark reactionary times should serve their country and their people.”

“A minority will be influential if it is organized”

Khodorkovsky and his gang said political change could come quickly and insisted the time had come to think of Russia’s future after Putin.

And, the usual accusations and statements – a la George Soro:
▪ Open Russia is intended to unite pro-European Russians in a bid to challenge Putin’s grip on power.

▪ Russian state media appeared to enforce a blackout on news coverage of Khodorkovky’s project.

▪ His spokeswoman Olga Pispanen said the project’s website, openrussia.org, became the target of distributed denial of service attacks.

▪ Russian state media appeared to enforce a blackout on news coverage of Khodorkovky’s project.

▪ Attempts to prevent activists from joining the ceremony were reported in the central Russian cities of Nizhny Novgorod and Yaroslavl.

▪ While many scoffed at Khodorkovsky’s effort to rally Russians while in exile, some said the project could pay off in the long run.

▪ “It is time to open our mouths, but we are ahead of a long, hard and dangerous path” Chichvarkin said.

▪ “Such a project is sorely needed,” political analyst Mark Urnov said, calling it an “antidote” to the country’s grim reality.

⇒ Here comes the Hope and Change to Russia!

Time is of Essence:
Whether Mr. Putin is a true nationalist struggling to revive and rebuild Russia, while trying to steer the country clear from the madness of an Empire, or himself is in the Game along with his western partners, the issue is beside the point – The point is that he is not the one chosen for the future of Russia that is envisioned by the Western Elites.

If the latest moves of the likes of Mikhail Khodorkovsky are any indicator, there may not be much time left for Mr. Putin. With a well entrenched pro-western “Atlantic integrationists” 5th column, under the nominal umbrella of Medvedev, working incessantly to undermine the sovereignty and integrity of Russia, Mr. Putin doesn’t seem have much time for further  indulgence. He should pay heed to Mr. McCan’s warning – the half-man might have been revealing the intentions of the Empire.
