Ukraine Carrying out Assassinations in Moscow
Armstrong Economics ^ | 15 Sep 22 | Martin Armstrong

Posted on 09/16/2022 12:35:34 PM PDT by delta7

There are reports on the Russian General SVR Telegram channel, which tends to be an anti-Putin station, that is claiming there was an inside-job attempt to assassinate Putin with an attack on his motorcade. He was not harmed. They are claiming that the first car of the convoy was blocked by an ambulance, but the second car made a slight detour and did not stop. A loud bang was supposedly heard from Putin’s car, but it continued and arrived safely at the president’s residence. They further claimed that the body of a man was then found driving the ambulance. They have reported that the head of the president’s bodyguards and several other people have been suspended and are in custody. Nobody has been named and there is no other news service that has reported this claim.

When we look at our models, the real higher volatility and the turning point in Russia appear to be in October, which is also a Panic cycle in the ruble. What we do see is that the Ukrainians carried out assassination hits in Russia. They have been trying to target Putin to kill him without success so far. They tried to kill Aleksandr Dugin with a car bomb, but they killed his daughter Darya Dugina. This is the car bombing of a pro-Putin supporter in Moscow. The sheer hatred between Ukrainian and Russians is legendary and as such the likelihood of this ever reaching peace is unlikely. My sources continue to suggest that removing Putin will escalate things, not stop them. The hardliners will seize power and that will not be good going into 2023. Claiming they have Putin on the run is not going to win the day in Ukraine. It runs the risk of really escalating things for the hardliners in Moscow are criticizing Putin for being too soft on Ukraine. He for the first time started to attack their power grid. The hardliners will push for a serious attack against Ukraine rather than just securing the Donbas. Categories: War

“Today, the Head of the Presidential Administration in
Ukraine, Andrey Yermak, said that, “Our task is to
make sure that not only the current generation of
Russians, but their children and grandchildren will
pay”. Eight hours later, Alexander Dugin’s daughter
Darya was killed.”

Is anyone really going to believe that this is Ukraine carrying out assassinations in Moscow and agents from those controlling the proxy war?

Yup—from the article:

“My sources continue to suggest that removing Putin will escalate things, not stop them. The hardliners will seize power and that will not be good going into 2023.”

Correct answer.

Years of Russia Russia Russia lies by US politicians and mass media was noticed—in Russia.

Probably Bidet was handed pieces of paper and he signed them without reading them—and they authorized intelligence agency assassinations—no matter what Congress thinks the law is.

LOL, Martin Armstrong a convicted swindler, knows about Ukrainian hit squads in Moscow. Okay

Please link me to any post where you have urged Putin to
withdraw to his own border and stop this travesty.

Thanks in advance.

I heard the rumor and hoped it was Putin’s henchmen who turned on him, if anyone actually did.

The whole story is just fake news.

If Ukraine’s Minister Yermak statement is true in killing all Russians into the next generation as a goal, I would think Ukraine’s government should go into hiding, Russian operatives are every bit as good as the Israeli Mossad.

Lethal force targeting the elites and decision makers? This is how all wars should be fought. I don’t see why ordinary hapless rank and file soldiers or civilians getting in the way should be the only ones to suffer when countries go to war.

Maybe there would be fewer of them if leaders understood that they were going to have to live in the cross hairs as well as all the people they consider pawns in their great game.

The hard liners won’t spend their time on ancient tanks— they will go for the head of the enemy and not waste their time on the feet.

Russian rulers kill other Russians who become prominent, regardless of which side they’re on. They’re viewed as threats to power.

—> Martin Armstrong a convicted swindler,

Wasn’t convicted - nor charged - but held in contempt of court IIRC.

Plead guilty after ~8 years of solitary in order to see his mother before she died.

UPDATE 1-Ex-trader Armstrong sentenced to 5 years

By Edith Honan April 10, 2007

NEW YORK, April 10 (Reuters) - A former currency trader who has been in jail since 2000 for contempt in a civil case was sentenced to five years in prison and ordered to pay $80 million in restitution on Tuesday after he admitted to defrauding investors.

Martin Armstrong, former chairman of the economic forecasting and investment firm, Princeton Economics International, concealed trading losses in a “Ponzi” scheme in which funds from newer investors were used to pay back earlier investors, according to federal prosecutors.

In 2002, Republic New York Securities, a broker-dealer whose accounts Armstrong used as part of the scheme, pleaded guilty to securities fraud and paid close to $569 million in restitution.

U.S. District Judge John Keenan in Manhattan said Armstrong would not get credit for the time he already has spent in jail, saying the contempt matter was separate from the criminal fraud case.

Armstrong has been behind bars for contempt in a civil lawsuit brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in what amounts to one of the longest-running contempt cases in U.S. history.

Judge Keenan ordered that the criminal sentence begin only after the civil matter is resolved. A court hearing in the civil case is scheduled for April 27.

Armstrong pleaded guilty in August to a criminal charge of conspiracy to commit fraud.

The former trader addressed the judge for about 25 minutes on Tuesday.

“I agree that I plead to, I guess, the necessary elements,” he told the court. “I don’t think this was a situation where I started out to get somebody. I trusted people I shouldn’t have trusted.”

Armstrong’s lawyer attributed the financial losses to incompetence, inattentiveness and “foolish attempts” to repair whatever damage had been done to the business, but not to any effort on Armstrong’s part to willfully engage in theft.

Between 1992 and 1999, about 139 victims who were primarily Japanese corporate investors lost over $700 million, according to prosecutors.
