This press release is perhaps the single most explosive revelation ever covered by State of the Nation. Putin reveals possesion of 9/11 Satellite Imagery Evidence Proving US Government Complicity in False Flag Attack There is no story bigger than 9/11 as far as the U.S. Federal Government is concerned.
Or ..go on YouTube ...CIA biggest Cocaine smugglers and money launderers on the Planet.

A Gulfstream II jet that crash landed in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula in late September bearing a load of nearly four tons of cocaine. This particular Gulfstream II (tail number N987SA), was used between 2003 and 2005 by the CIA for at least three trips between the U.S. east coast and Guantanamo Bay — home to the infamous "terrorist" prison camp — according to a number of press reports.

Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Gary Webb uncovered that the CIA was responsible for distributing cocaine into poor Los Angeles neighborhoods. Shortly after Webb exposed the CIA, he was killed (the official story is that he committed suicide by shooting himself twice in the head).

Can anyone name a single Putin policy that hasn't ended in disaster?

Invaded Georgia and ended up with two provincial sh1t holes in S Ossetia and Abkhazia that cost tens of millions of dollars/year in subsidies. Which all disappear into the pockets of local politicians in any case.

Annexed Crimea, to which he already had access guaranteed by international treaty anyway, and now rules another ****-hole dependent entirely on Ukrainian goodwill for electricity and water. The local population blows up a pylon every few weeks and the whole peninsula has descended into perpetual darkness.

So he invades eastern Ukraine to try and connect with Crimea, stupidly believes his own propaganda that there are Ukrainians who support him, the invasion fails, Crimea still isolated, and has turned an industrial powerhouse into a wasteland costing incalculable sums to restore.

Rouble in freefall (one rouble now worth less than one penny), economy in deep recession, utterly dependent on his Chinese masters to buy his future oil and gas at prices they determine.

rockinorse the new nobhead onthe block.

its all the  cias fault. putin does not murder anyone, home or abroad that he does not like(litvinenko is a well known one but there are another 50+ killed and not 1 conviction;incredible. imagine dozens of critics of obarma being murdered. methinks there might be a mini-kerfuffle). he is not fabulously wealthy, despite a modest salary. the olympics in sochi were not the most disgustingly corrupt ever staged. ukraine is a vicious state that seeks to subvert russia and aligns itself with the eu and nato to this end. his invasion of it is entirely reasonable. georgia was not subject to a brutal invasion, and has not been tortured ever since. chechnya is a beacon of freedom under his watch. show trials of political opponents like khodorkovsky are entirely legitimate, and not politically motivated. independent tv stations have not been closed. the press has not been harassed into silence. magnitsky was a traitor(look it up, moron)

putin is a vicious secret policeman who makes no secret of his love for fellow chekists and laments the end of the ussr, a vast killing machine(known by russians as 'the meat grinder') with grim reason.

not sure of the logic of this argument, without substantial external opposition territory like this can be funded mostly by local taxes alone, when combined with other strategic benefits in areas like eastern ukraine it becomes more than sustainable.
putin is a crook and a gangster no better or worse than anything that came out of chicago, but the fact that only now are they reaching for the pedo card is an indictment on how failed and desperate the politicians from chicago have become.

Dear David Cameron

I’m writing on behalf of all British activists who fight for justice against dictators around the world. Your government’s decision to not punish Vladimir Putin and senior members of his regime for the murder of Alexander Litvinenko will put the lives of many UK activists and regular citizens at risk.

Putin and others like him look for weakness wherever they can find it. Putting diplomatic and business relations with Russia above criminal justice and public safety is a sign of weakness that will surely lead to more killings on British soil.

The independent inquiry by Sir Robert Owen leaves little doubt that the Russian secret police carried out the murder of Litvinenko. The Russian government approved these types of murders abroad against “enemies of the state” and have been carrying out assassinations ever since. This can only be described as state-sanctioned terrorism.

Had this attack been perpetrated by Isis or al-Qaida there would be bombing runs, huge intelligence operations and pledges to never let it happen again. However, because this was done by Putin’s Russia, the only response will be a strongly worded communication of disappointment.

You have argued that you can’t take more action because you need to deal with Russia on the issue of Syria. That assumes there are only two choices: doing nothing or breaking relations. But there are actions which would send Putin a stern message and allow you to continue to talk to Russia on important geopolitical issues.

The main tool you have is imposing visa sanctions and assets freezes on top Russian government officials who bear responsibility for the Litvinenko attack. This would strike at the achilles’ heel of the Putin system.


While these people commit crimes at home, many of them keep their ill-gotten gains in London. By taking away that privilege it strikes right at the heart of their corrupt system and makes them pay a real price for their crimes.

This is not a hypothetical suggestion. After the torture and murder of my lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, in 2009, I worked with US congress in 2012 to pass the Magnitsky act, which imposed US visa sanctions and asset freezes on the Russians involved in his murder.

This piece of legislation was so powerful that Putin declared it his top foreign policy goal to stop it. As it made its way through congress, he huffed and puffed about how the law was going to destroy relations between the two countries. When it finally passed, Putin did indeed lash out by banning the adoption of Russian children by American families, but his broader threats of breaking relations never came to pass.


Most importantly, the Magnitsky act breathed fear into every official in Putin’s regime, warning them that they could be made international financial pariahs for their abuses in Russia. As a result, the feeling of impunity has been destroyed.

In debates in parliament on the day the report was released a number of MPs suggested that the government impose the Magnitsky sanctions, but your home secretary Theresa May argued they don’t work. Based on my experience, she is wrong. If you ask any Russian what the top people in the Putin regime are afraid of, it is being added to the Magnitsky list. They are desperately afraid of losing their ability to travel and keep their money in the west.

Furthermore, they know that the Putin regime won’t last forever and there’s nothing more terrifying than knowing when it all comes down they can’t run because no country will take them.

You can’t undo an act of state-sponsored terrorism on British soil from 2006, but for the long-term safety and security of everyone in Britain you must act in a way that leaves no doubt that the UK government will not be cowed.

You must stand firm and ensure serious consequences for anyone who dares to repeat such an atrocious act on British soil.

Regards, Bill Browder

Browder lived and worked in Russia for more than decade, but in 2005, he was deported and his fund, Hermitage Capital, was expropriated by corrupt officials. In 2009, the lawyer Browder hired to investigate the case was beaten to death in jail
