Quick history of Russia that they won't teach you at school ...
Since I am qualified to be a history teacher and obviously the American school system doesn't teach you any history East of Italy, I find that I may have to try and make a crash course of Russia and what happened.
The myth that Russia collapsed because of the arms race with Reagan is just that a total myth and oversimplification. What is more important is understanding the transfer and consolidation of wealth into the hands of the Oligarchs.
Who are the Oligarchs? See this for a profile run down, of where they were and where they are now.
There are 7 oligarchs. These seven Oligarchs are all criminals. It is not prejudice to mention that they are Jewish as they have connections to Zionism and Israel it is relevant. This is a bit out of date but Thayer Watkins of San Jose State University lists them as follows:
1.
Boris Berezovsky, industrialist, owner of Avtovaz and many media holdings; Jewish, now in exile in Britain, where he was granted 'political asylum' by the pro-Jewish UK government after Russian President Putin started investigating his business dealings. Some say that Putin used Berezovsky and his media power to destroy his political rivals but now has abandoned him.
2.
Vladimir Gusinsky, banker and media boss; Jewish, leader of Russian Jewish Congress. Now in exile in Greece, from which country the Russian courts have, so far unsuccessfully, tried to extradite him for charges relating to his many shady business dealings.
3.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky, banker, currency manipulator, corporate raider, owner of conglomerate Menatep, owns major stake in Yukos oil company; Jewish. Presently under investigation by the Russian General Prosecutor's Office for possible fraud. It is said he managed to fob off his private debt on the state and acquired his multibillion stake in Yukos for essentially nothing.
4.
Alexander Smolensky, construction contractor, banker, black market trader; Jewish, fled Russia to Vienna temporarily until he made a deal under which the disappearance of millions of dollars of his depositors' money would not be investigated.
5.
Vladimir Potanin, banker, corporate raider, owner of Interros; not confirmably Jewish but a close associate of Anatoly Chubais and George Soros, both of Jewish ancestry. Under charges from Moscow City Prosecutor for questionable nickel deal.
6.
Vladimir Vinogradov, banker, art collector, former aviation engineer; not Jewish and now essentially bankrupt, having been outmaneuvered by the other, mostly Jewish oligarchs. The Russian Web site exile.ru states: "Often accused of hoarding bank assets in Switzerland... Other oligarchs never let him join in their reindeer games; he was completely left out of loans-for-shares [deals]... Was one of original "group of seven" oligarchs, although Boris Berezovsky conspicuously declined to include him in his famous 1996 interview with The Financial Times about the bankers...Owes about 2 billion dollars to various creditors following August mess."
7.
Mikhail Friedman, black market operator, international trader, corporate raider, owner of Alpha Group; Jewish; he recently sold British Petroleum a 50% stake in his consortium Tyumen Oil Company -- receiving $2.4 billion in cash, with which he's continued to buy up Russian assets left and right.
It a nut shell here is what went down.
Back when the Borris Yeltsin was in charge of Russia, who was an absolute drunk, (I remember once Yeltsin was so drunk while eating dinner with the Clintons the Bill Clinton had to talk over him and rush to end the discussion because Yeltsin was acting like a total fool.) Under the crook Yelson's rein in office, a Harvard professor named Jeffery Sachs and an economist named Yegor Gaidar (the PM of Russia in 1992) got together some other economists and hatched a plan of how best to take advantage of the coming Russian implosion. Russia was about to burst with hyper inflation. (easy to rig when you run the central bank) Russia had its currency the Ruble, diminished to nearly nothing.
As the joke used to go, "hey Olath, what's cheaper, to buy toilet paper or just wipe your ass with rubles?." the joke is not funny. People had their life savings wiped out. It didn't matter how much they had saved because it would be like if all your dollars turned to pennies. Some people could not afford clothes for the coming horrible Russian winters. People could not eat and some people died. Prices numerically rose of course because the ruble was falling but value-wise they were actually cheaper because of the desperation. But the prices didn't rise in dollars. A few people made fortunes by correctly predicting (actually by having insider knowledge) the wild price gyrations. They knew what to buy up and when to do it.
The Zionists, the same that manipulated the banks, knew ahead of time what the plans of the 'reformers' were. But it went well beyond that. They lied, murdered and pulled every trick in the book to get their wealth. They defaulted on valuators. They took money for investments and never invested it, and just pocketed the money. They ran the media in Russia and fought with one another. When money becomes worthless certain things have intrinsic value like land and assets. They bought these things up cheaply with dollars from people who risked either selling for less than it was worth in dollars or possibly by the next day losing everything if it remained in rubles.
Number 3, Mikhail Khodorkovsky of Yukos oil, is now in jail (serving 8 year sentence) and while he was in prison he claimed that had his face slashed open by a knife but according to the prison he was just punched in the nose and got a scratch.
There is a film you can probably find it called a Dimes worth of difference: beyond the lesser of two evils. Uri Avnery (a non-zionist Jews) wrote an fairly good article on the film in counterpunch.
"his is a TV series about Russia. But it could have been about Israel. Or about the United States. It is entitled "The Oligarchs" and is now being screened on Israeli television.
Some of its episodes are simply unbelievable--or would have been, if they had not come straight from the horses' mouths: the heroes of the story, who gleefully boast about their despicable exploits. The series was produced by Israeli immigrants from Russia.
The "oligarchs" are a tiny group of entrepreneurs who exploited the disintegration of the Soviet system to loot the treasures of the state and to amass plunder amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars. In order to safeguard the perpetuation of their business, they took control of the state. Six out of the seven are Jews.
In popular parlance they are called "oligarchs"--from the Greek word meaning "rule of the few".
In the first years of post-Soviet Russian capitalism they were the bold and nimble ones who knew how to exploit the economic anarchy in order to acquire enormous possessions for a hundredth or a thousandth of their value: oil, natural gas, nickel and other minerals. They used every possible trick, including cheating, bribery and murder. Every one of them had a small private army. In the course of the series they are proud to tell in great detail how they did it.
But the most intriguing part of the series recounts the way they took control of the political apparatus. After a period of fighting each other, they decided that it would be more profitable for them to cooperate in order to take over the state.
At the time, President Boris Yeltsin was in a steep decline. On the eve of the new elections for the presidency, his rating in public opinion polls stood at 4%. He was an alcoholic with a severe heart disease, working about two hours a day. The state was, in practice, ruled by his bodyguard and his daughter; corruption was the order of the day.
The oligarchs decided to take power through him. They had almost unlimited funds, control of all TV channels and most of the other media. They put all these at the disposal of Yeltsin's reelection campaign, denying his opponents even one minute of TV time and pouring huge sums of money into the effort. (The series omits an interesting detail: they secretly brought over the most outstanding American election experts and copywriters, who applied methods previously unknown in Russia.)
The campaign bore fruit: Yeltsin was indeed reelected. On the very same day he had another heart attack and spent the rest of his term in hospital. In practice, the oligarchs ruled Russia. One of them, Boris Berezovsky, appointed himself Prime Minister. There was a minor scandal when it became known that he (like most of the oligarchs) had acquired Israeli citizenship, but he gave up his Israeli passport and everything was in order again.

-----------------------
It really had nothing to do with "communism." As Mikhail Gorbachev put it Russia was state capitalism. Russia was controlled by an oligarchy which used the government as a medium to further cosolidate wealth and create massive monopolies especially over the media and mineral wealth.
Russia had three major wars in a row, the WWI, the Red and White War and WWII. The revolution had large support from the so called communist who cared about that ideology about as much as America cares about spreading democray in Iraq. It was all about toppling the Czar so that the international bankers could put a central bank in the last state in Europe that they didn't control. Once in charge they turned on the workers and pesants and thre Russia into rapid industrialization mainly geared around war.
The French Banks were bankrolling Russia's MIC and the American Banks mostly Morgan, were backing the French. This was the set up for the first World War, the dream to tare Europe apart and hook it into massive debt. Germany served its purpose in weakening Russia enough for thr revolution and the Eastern front was lost. However once the bankers were in control of Russia, Germany was no longer needed. The cabal had recently created the Federal Reserve in the US as well and the US was brought into the war to finish the Germans off. Because of RUssia's war the power had been concentrated into the military and they live under a virtual police state a secret police state. Workers were thrown into a choice of serve or starve. No buddy gave a damn about the serbs killing an Austro-Hungarian Franz Ferdinand. That is not what all those people were dying for. And remeber Russia was on the side of the Serbs (the Black Hand Sabbat) the terrorists as was America.
Meanwhile the British were already fighting over Palestine, despite invading Gaza 4 times.
"After occupying El Arish in Sinai in December 1916, the ANZAC mounted division led British forces up to the Palestine border. With his forces needed elsewhere, General Archibald Murray, Commander in Chief of the British Forces in the Middle East, postponed making further advances.
General Friedrich Kressenstein, commander of the Turkish Expeditionary Force, occupied the coastal fortress of Gaza, blocking the main route into Palestine. General Murray was determined to take Gaza and sent General Dobell, commander of the Eastern Forces, in March 1917. Kressenstein had 18,000 men but was outnumbered 2 to 1 by Dobell's forces.
General Dobell massed the main bulk of his men 8km from Gaza. Undetected in a dense sea fog, Dobell's cavalry was able to cut off the town's rear on the 26th March. The main infantry attack that followed was less successful. A Turkish counterattack and water shortages forced Dobell to order his men to retreat. General Dobell lost 4,000 men against about 2,400 Turkish and German casualties. Dobell estimated that the Turks lost three times that number and at the time the battle was reported as a British victory.
In June 1917, General Edmund Allenby was transferred from the command of the Third Army in France to become commander of the British Forces in Palestine. Lieutenant-General Harry Chauvel was given command of the Desert Mounted Troops and the infantry divisions were allotted to Lieutenant-General Philip Chetwode (XX Corps) and Major General Edward Bulfin (XXI Corps).
The British plan was for a preliminary operation against Beersheba to enable them to take the higher ground. Once established at Beersheba the forces would be deployed to roll-up the Turkish flank. Chetwode and XX Corps and the Desert Mounted Corps formed the main striking force, whereas Bulfin and XXI Corps would make the attack on Gaza itself.
On the night of 30th October, over 40,000 Australian and British troops moved into position for the attack on Beersheba. It was hoped that the diversionary attack would encourage the Turks to reinforce their right at expense of their left and make it easier for the XX Corps. Gaza was also bombarded by French and British ships offshore.
The first phase of the assault on Beersheba began early on 31st October. By late afternoon the Allied forces had driven the Turks back into Gaza. At 4.30 pm Brigadier Grant led two cavalry regiments against the eastern defences of the town. Although faced with Turkish machine-guns, the cavalry managed to gallop into Beersheba. The Turks were captured before their plans to destroy the wells and evacuate the town could take place.
The main attack against the Turkish left took place on 6th November. Although the Turkish trenches ran for eight miles all Allied objectives were taken by mid-afternoon. That evening the Turks began to retreat. When XXI arrived on the morning of 7th November, Gaza had been abandoned.
General Allenby's victory at Gaza had unlocked the defences of the Turks. In the weeks that followed, the Turks retreated 75 miles and on 9th December the allied forces took Jerusalem. Although a clear victory, between October and December, 1917, the British and Empire forces lost 19,702 men during the campaign in the Middle East "
Also note it was Septemeber 11th 1922 that the Brists particianed Palestine. And we know it was during these raids in 1917 that the balfour declaration was made by the British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Lord Rothschild (Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild) of the Infamous Banking family.
Quote:
...a leader of the British Jewish community, for transmission to the Zionist Federation, a private Zionist organization, on the partitioning of the Ottoman Empire in the aftermath of the World War I. The letter stated the position, agreed at a British Cabinet meeting on October 31, 1917, that the British government supported Zionist plans for a Jewish "national home" in Palestine, with the condition that nothing should be done which might prejudice the rights of existing communities there. The document is kept at the British Library.

Come on put it together people. We know who is pulling the strings.
Quote:
Foreign Office,
November 2nd, 1917.
Dear Lord Rothschild,
I have much pleasure in conveying to you, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, the following declaration of sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations which has been submitted to, and approved by, the Cabinet:
"His Majesty's Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country".
I should be grateful if you would bring this declaration to the knowledge of the Zionist Federation.
Yours sincerely
Arthur James Balfour

Russia's corrupt 'Oligarchs' Jews == Ashkenazi Khazars
In case you haven't NOTICED the bloody obvious is that most Jews are WHITE (>99%, those with the MOST POWER AND WEALTH ARE ALL 100% WHITE ASHKENAZI KHAZARS).
Did you ever wonder why nations like Russia had so many "jews", it's because over 2 centuries ago the state of Russia expanded south to encompass Khazaria.
1 1/2 centuries ago it expanded East towards Asia (historical Mongolian and Chinese Land -- hence they ETHNIC make up is Asian in eastern Russia, even considering the mass movement of "native" Russians eastward)
But that's another history lesson!
Enjoy!

Interesting Information
Thanks TGR for an interesting post. Another sad part of Russian history is the mass murders by the Khazar-led Bolsheviks against the Orthodox Christians in the Soviet Union during the 1920's and 1930's. Churches were burned, families were slaughtered or starved to death. Soviet communism was just another Khazar hoax - we can learn a lot from it, and apply it to what's happening today. People were brainwashed into killing Christians much the same way as Americans are brainwashed into killing Muslims nowadays. Stalin was just a useful goy figurehead manipulated by Khazars, the same as George Bush is nowadays.
By the way you are correct in stating that most Jews are white. Some white supremacists say that Jews are Asiatics (of the Turkic race). They are incorrect. Khazaria was on the west side of the Caspian Sea, east of the Black Sea in southern Russia, near the north slopes of the Caucasus Mountains. Turkic people originate on the other side of the Caspian Sea, although they later invaded parts of southern Russia, southern Ukraine, southwestern Europe and of course Turkey. Jews don't look like Turks, for example they have the Caucasian eye shape, rather than the Asian "squint". One people that most Jews do resemble are the Armenians, who originate on that same north side of the Causcasus Mountains as the Khazars. The truth is that most Jews are light-skinned Caucasians.
