Former FSB officer Accuses Putin for bombing of Russian passenger plane over Sinai
New World Standard Critique ^ | December 27th, 2015 | New World Standard Critique

Posted on 12/27/2015 3:54:29 AM PST by se99tp

The motive and details of the operation were outlined in a memorandum compiled by the former FSB spy: ‘In order to accomplish all these aims and to get Western consent to fighting Islamic State (which was, essentially, official support for keeping the Assad regime in power), the Kremlin desperately needed the kind of justification which would generate worldwide attention and full international sympathy and approval for military action.’

Several sources in Russian press has indicated that some kind of change is coming. Yes, it is very difficult to judge the direction of the next turn. It may be that the true will be directed as Golitsyn once predicted...

Where did “New World Standard Critique” come from? It’s not a news source I recall seeing before. Is there proof of what is being asserted or just conjecture?

It depends what does “news source” mean for you. For me it is news source since they have quite good expertise on Communist China (interview with dissidents and extra info - they have people speaking in Mandarine (who are analazing the Communist propaganda-look at their Notes section) and watching closely situation there). They also seem to add to information which they quote. In this case they add extra info on the source. This article is based on a report.

It’s also a major subplot of the latest Clancy (by Mark Greany) novel “Commander in Chief”

The president of Russia, Putin under a different name flat out starts a war to protect his personal wealth.

As I recall many others distrusted the “fall of the soviet union” and thought it was a fake out.

However, if there is something in the works, it might have more to do with Putin’s excessive military spending and the lack of funds in the Russian coffers. As you know, all of Putin spending is predicated on oil revenue - which is not working out so well at present; there maybe more that a few unhappy about that situation.

Putin was already committed to his current program in Syria before the crash occurred and he doesn’t feel the need to justify his actions before a wworld that began messing in his backyard in Ukraine and then causes more trouble near his Southern borders.

Given the strength of their military and their just-completed modernization of their nukes, the Russians DO NOT need a pre-text to project force anywhere in the world. No one’s going to stop them (especially considering the hollowed-out state of our military).

They did not kill their own people, no need.

That’s my point - he committed to something which was not stable as the source of Russian revenue .... its not working and someone may be upset with the little guy. No one in Russia cares about his justifications, if he were to make them.

Everything else is not germane - its the money.

Riiiiight - as if anyone needs a "Gulf of Tonkin" moment to justify going after terrorists....

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other who enjoys the fruits of others' work for your own benefit.

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

Blowing Up Russia: The Secret Plot to Bring Back KGB [Power]
Alexander Litvinenko & Yuri Felshtinsky

This book, co-authored by Alexander Litvinenko, the victim of the notorious 2006 London polonium poisoning, attempts to demonstrate that modern Russia's most fundamental problems do not result from the radical reforms of the liberal period of Yeltsin's terms as president, but from the open or clandestine resistance offered to these reforms by the Russian special services. It was they who unleashed the first and second Chechen wars, in order to divert Russia away from the path of democracy and towards dictatorship, militarism, and chauvinism.

The authors alleged that the Russian apartment bombings and other September 1999 terrorist acts were committed by the Federal Security Service. Litvinenko and Felshtinsky wrote that the bombings were a false flag operation intended to justify Second Chechen War and bring Vladimir Putin to power.

The way this article is written suggests to me that the Russians started military operation in Syria after the mentioned Russian passenger plane was shot down. Obviously that is not true.

The Russians were doing well so far as public opinion (not western government stance) in the west was concerned. In launching attacks in Syria, the Russians didn’t look for ‘western consent’.

The Russians, as far as I recall, had initially extended their full support to fight ISIS as part of the International coalition led by the U.S. in early months of ISIS becoming known, remember? That however went nowhere because the U.S. and coalition were only bombing ISIS sporadically in Iraq. ISIS’s main nerve center has been Syria.

No doubt the Russians also went to Syria to keep Assad in power. That is no mystery. We have done everything to portray Assad as the awful guy whilst doing absolutely nothing meaningful about ISIS.

So, did Jordan burn the Jordanian pilot to attack ISIS? Did French government operatives, speaking fluent French, kill all those people in France recently for France to up their bombing of ISIS? Did ISIS really behead those American hostages? Did ISIS really fight the Kurds in Iraq, kill and enslave Yazidis? Maybe it was the Russians or Assad all along!

Anything is possible, though the article reads like a James Bond movie, where the Russian spy defects to Britain, and the Brits save the world from imminent disaster.
