Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to the nation in the annual speech to the Federal Assembly yesterday, as the tension brew at home and abroad. The tension is high in Ukraine, and Putin told the West to back off.
In addition to the tension in Ukraine, Putin see some dissatisfaction at home over stagnating incomes and rising inflation, the coronavirus pandemic, and new sanctions from the U.S.
Putin said that Russia must respond to the challenges of climate change and create a carbon recycling industry. «We need to adapt the housing and utilities system, infrastructure and the agro-industrial complex to climate change, to create a system of strict control over carbon emissions,» he said.
«Greenhouse gas emissions should be lower in Russia than in the European Union over the next 30 years. We cannot allow climate catastrophes like the one in Norilsk.»
When it comes to foreign policy, Putin said «If someone uses an arrogant and selfish tone, Russia will always find a way to defend its position. This is turning into some kind of Sport. Who can say something negative about Russia the loudest?»
«We behave in a restrained, modest manner. Oftentimes we do not respond to outright rudeness; we want to have good relations. We are not looking to burn any bridges.»
But this is more serious and Putin is playing hardball; «I hope no one will think of crossing so-colled «red lines» against Russia, which we ourselves will define in each separate case. Russia`s response will be symmetrical, fast and tough.
The organizers of any provocations threatening our core security interests will regret their actions more than they`ve regretted anything in a long time.»
It seems that everyone is already accustomed to the practice of imposing illegal, politically motivated sanctions, attempts to impose their will on others by force.»
«But now this practice is degenerating into something more dangerous. For example, an attempt to organize a coup in Belarus and an attempt to assassinate this country`s president….The West is silent on this matter.»
«You can have any position on Lukashenko`s policies, but staging a government coup and planning the assassination of a head of state is too much.»
There is no doubt that the tension is very high and that Putin is pretty clear; «Russia once again urges its partners to discuss issues related to strategic weapons, possibly to create an environment of conflict-free coexistence.»
More importantly is what Putin said about demographics; «The demographic crisis of the 1940s is hitting us now. The preservation of the Russian people is our highest national priority. Russia will always defend traditional values that have been forgotten in a number of countries,» Putin said.
When it comes to the economy, Putin said; «The main thing is to ensure the growth of citizens real incomes.»
«The pandemic has exacerbated problems of social inequality and poverty around the world. We are faced with rising prices. It is impossible to rely only on targeted, directive measures. This leads to empty shelves, as was the case in the late 1980s.
Now, even at the peak of the epidemic, we did not allow this. With the help of market mechanisms, it is necessary to ensure price containment. I call on the government to take measures to help low-income families with children by July 1.»
«In Russia, single-parent families will receive a payment of 5,650 rubles ($73) for each child from 8 to 16 years old. We need to help women who are expecting a baby and are experiencing financial difficulties.
It is very important for the expectant mother to feel the support of the state so that she can keep the child. To help women in difficult financial situations who are expecting a child…. I propose a monthly payment of 6,000 rubles ($78) per month.»
«Families with schoolchildren will receive 10,000 rubles ($130) per child. It was impossible to avoid budget cuts last year altogether. To support the creation of new jobs, the state will stimulate businesses.
I`m instructing the government to submit additional measures to support small and medium-sized businesses, including in the tax area, within a month.»
«1,63 trillion rubles will be allocated for civil scientific research in Russia until 2024. Russia must be ready to develop test systems and vaccines within days in case of a new dangerous infection.»
«We must have a reliable shield for sanetary and biological safety. We need to have a full range of vaccine manufacturing capabilities. In the event of a dangerous infection, Russia should be ready within four days to create effective test systems, and as soon as possible our own vaccine. These tasks must be solved by 2030,» Putin said in the speech.

Russia is a big country, but like many other countries, it also has a dark side; The Communists. Lenin killed Tsar Nicholas II and his family and stole the country. A story most of the Russians aren`t proud of. The Communists was the worst terrorist organization ever. What they did was big crime.
The abdication of Tsar Nicholas II on 15 March 1917 as a result of the February Revolution ended 304 years of Romanov rule, establishing the Russian Republic under the Russian Provisional Government in the lead up to the Russian Civil War.
In 1918, the Tsar and his family were executed by the Bolsheviks and the 47 surviviors of the House of Romanov`s 65 members went into exile abroad. (If you are interested in that story you can watch it on Netflix).
Putin are interested in the history of
the Tsar family called Romanov and want to celebrate what they
started hundreds of years ago. What Lenin and his army did was crime
and that is nothing to celebrate.
That`s why Putin in 2005 created Unity
Day, also called Day of People`s Unity or National Unity Day in
Russia which is a national holiday held on November 4.
It commemorates the popular uprising
which expelled Polish-Lithuanian occupation forces from Moscow in
November 1612, and more generally the end of the Time of Troubles and
turning point of the Polish-Muscovite War (1605-1618).
The day`s neme alludes to the idea that
all classes of Russian society united to preserve Russian statehood
when there was neither a tsar nor a patriarch to guide them. In 1613
tsar Mikhail Romanov instituted a holiday named «Day of Moscow`s
Liberation from Polish Invaders».
It was celebrated in the Russian Empire
until 1917, when it was replaced with a commemoration of the Russian
Revolution.
Unity Day was reinstitued by the
Russian Federation in 2005, when the events of the year 1612 have
been celebrated instead of those of 1917 every November 4 since. The
day is also the feast day of the Russian Orthodox icon of Our Lady of
Kazan.
The holiday replaced the Day of Accord
and Reconciliation, established by former President Boris Yeltsin
following the collapse of the Soviet Union, which was itself a
replacement for Revolution Day. Huh….what a mess.
President Vladimir Putin reestablished
the holiday in order to replace the commemoration of the October
Revolution, known as the Day of Great October Socialist Revolution
during Soviet period and as the Day of Accord and Conciliation in
post-Soviet times, which formerly took place on November 7.
Putin`s decision angered some sections
of the public, particularly the Communist Party, who continued with
celebrations on November 7. Putins`s predecessor, Boris Yeltsin took
a limited action of changing the name of the holiday, by completely
removing it. It goes back and forth.
So, after Lening and his criminal
gangsters killed the Romanov family and overthrow the centuries -old
monarchy, Russia emerged from a civil war in 1921 as the newly formed
Soviet Union. The World`s first Marxist-Communist state. It became
one of the biggest and powerful nations in the world until it
collapsed in 1991.
The United Socialist Soviet Republic
(U.S.S.R), was made up of 15 Soviet republics; Ukraine, Uzbekistan,
Armenia, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia,
Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, Russia, Moldova, Rajikistan and Turkmenistan.
They were occupying nearly one-sixth of Earth`s land surface.
Radical Leftists revolutionaries
overthrew Russia`s Tsar Nicholas II and ended centuries of Romanov
rule and that was the beginning of the Russian Revolution in 1917.
The Communists called the Bolsheviks established a socialist state.
The civil war started and it was a war
between the Communists and the Capitalists. The Red Army was backed
by the Bolshevik government. They defeated the White Army backed by a
large group of monarchists, capitalists and supporters of other forms
of socialism.
The Bolshevik`s had a secret police
called Cheka in a periode known as Red Terror. They carried out a
campaign of mass execution against supporters of the czarist regime
and against Russia`s upper classes.
But Lenin past away in 1924 and Joseph
Stalin came to power. The dictator ruled by terror with a series of
brutal policies, which left millions of his own citizens dead. Stalin
transformed Soviet Union from an agrarian society to an industrial
and military superpower.
Stalin had a lot of plans, and focused
on collectivizing agriculture and rapid industralization. Before
World War II, Stalin enforced the collectivization of the
agricultural sector. Rural peasants were forced to join colective
farms.
People that owned land or livestock
were stripped of their holdings, and hundreds of higher-income
farmers, called kulaks, were executed and their property confiscated.
The Communists believed that consolidating individually owned farms
into a series of large state-run collective farms would increase
agricultural productivity. But the opposite was true.
The productivity dropped and this led
to a devastating food shortages. Millions died during the Great
Famine of 1932-1933. The U.S.S.R denied the Great Famine in many
years.
The Ukrainian famine (Holodomor) is
also known as «starvation» and «to inflict death,» claimed the
lives of nearly 4 million people. That`s 13 percent of the
population. At that time, it was many protesters, and like other
Communists in this world, the dictator didn`t like that.
Stalin eliminated all opposition to his
leadership by terrorizing Communist Party officials and other public
through his secret police. This is how a totalitarian policestate is
working.
600,000 Soviet citizens were executed
during the height of Stalin`s terror campaign known as the Great
Purge between 1936 and 1938. Millions of people in Soviet were
deported, or imprisoned in forced labor camps, also known as Gulags.
Soviet defeated Nazi-Germany at the end
of World War II, but Americans and British feared the spread of
communism into Western Europe and worldwide. So what did they do?
In 1949, the United States, Canada and
its European allies formed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO). They formed an alliance between countries of the Western bloc
and NATO was a political show of force against the U.S.S.R and its
allies.
The Communists didn`t like that, so the
Soviet Union in 1955 consolidated power among Eastern bloc countries
under a rival alliance called the Warsaw Pact, and that started the
Cold War.
The Cold War would persist in varous
forms until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, and it was a power
struggle waged on political, economic and propaganda fronts between
the Eastern and Western blocs.
But Stalin past away in 1953, and
Nikita Khrushchev rose to power. He became Communist Party secretary
in 1953 and premier in 1958. This is the man John F Kenndy had a lot
of meeting with. Why? Khrushchev installed nuclear weapons just 90
miles from Florida`s coast in Cuba. He instigated the Cuban Missile
Crisis in 1962.
Khrushchev made a lot of refoms that
made Soviet society less repressive. He criticized Stalin for
arresting and deporting opponents and took steps to raise living
conditions, freed many political prisoners, lossened artistic
censorship and closed Gulag labor camps in a time called
de-Stalinization.
Deteriorating relations between the
Soviet Union and neighboring China and food shortages across the
U.S.S.R eroded Khrushchev`s legitimacy in the eyes of the Communist
party leadership. Members of the Communist Party removed Khrushchev
from office in 1964.
Later on, another communist party
politician rose to power. Mikhail Gorbachev came to power in 1985. He
introduced two sets of policies he hoped would reform the political
system and help U.S.S.R become a more prosperous and productive
nation. These policies were called Glasnost and Perestroika.
Glasnost was a plan for political
openness. It adressed personal restrictions of the Soviet people.
Glasnost eliminated remaining traces of Stalinìst repression, such
as banning of books. Newspapers could criticize the government, and
parties other than the Communist Party could participate in
elections.
Perestroika was a plan for economic
restructuring. Soviet Union began to move toward a hybrid
communist-capitalist system. (This system is more like the system we
see in China today). The communists created a committee called
Politburo. They would still control the direction of the economy, but
the government would allow market forces to dictate some production
and deveopment decisions.
Gorbachev came to power only 6 years
before Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. It started in the 1960`s when
the Communists Party elite gained wealth and power while millions of
average Soviet citizens face starvation. Soviet citizens didn`t have
basic needs such as clothing and shoes.
The divide between the extreme wealth
of the Politburo and the poverty of Soviet citizens created a
backlash from younger people who didn`t like the Communist Party`s
ideology as their parents had. On top of that, Soviet faced foreign
attack on the economy.
President Ronald Reagan isolated the
Soviet economy in the 80`s from the rest of the world and helped
drive the oil prices down to the lowest level. When the gas revenue
dropped, the U.S.S.R began to lose its hold on Eastern Europe.
Gorbachev`s reforms didn`t work well
and did more to hasten the collapse of the Soviet Union than to help
it. They started to lose control over the Soviet people and that was
the beginning of a new movement in the Soviet satellites of Eastern
Europe.
In 1989, a political revolution started
in Poland and that spread to other countries that led to the toppling
of the Berlin Wall. On Saturday it is 30 year since the destruction
of the wall that divided Berlin physically and ideologically from
1961 to 1989.
By the end of 1989, the U.S.S.R had
come apart at the seams. An unsuccessful coup by Communist Party
hard-liners in August 1991 sealled the Soviet Union`s fate by
diminishing Gorbachev`s power and propelling democratic forces, led
by Boris Yeltsin to the forefront of Russian politics.
In 1991, Boris Yeltsin rose to power,
and served ass the president of Russia until 1999. Though a Communist
Party member for much of his life, he came to believe in both
democratic and free market reforms, and played an instrumental role
in the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin was the
first freely elected leader in Russia`s 1,000-year history. He became
well known for railing against corruption and fired hundreds of
lower-level functionaries.
Gorbachev`s Glasnost and Perestroika
program had hoped to change but not destroy the Soviet Union, but he
resigned on December 25, 1991, and 6 days later the Soviet Union
officially dissolved and was replaced by a political weak
Commonwealth of Independent State that Yeltsin had established along
with his counterparts in Ukraine and Belarus.
With the Soviet Union out of the way,
Yeltsin eliminated most price controls, privatized a slew of major
state assets, allowed for the ownership of prive property and
otherwise emraced free market principles.
Under his watch, a stock exchange,
commodities exchange and private banks all came into being. As
president, Yeltsin broke from his Soviet predecessors by generally
supporting freedom of the press, permitting public criticism and
letting Western popular culture seep into the country.
After surviving impeachment
proceedings, Yeltsin disbanded the communist-dominated parliament in
September 1993 and called for elections to a new legislature.
A new man came to power. Vladimir Putin
rose to power when Boris Yeltsin announced his resignation on
December 31, 1999. Yeltsin handed off power to Putin, his chosen
successor and the last of his prime ministers, who granted him
immunity from prosecution. Since 1 January 2000, Vladimir Putin has
been Russia`s president. And he is very popular.
Putin is considered to be the most
powerful leader in the world and his Unity Day is the beginning of a
new era in Russia. Unity Day calls for tolerance between various
ethnic and religious groups in the Russian Federation.
The Romanov family was backed by the
Orthodox Church and so are Vladimir Putin. Lenin and his terrorist
group of Communists killed thousands of priests and burned and bombed
hundreds of churches in Russia. We can now see what values Putin
stands for.
There are some pople that don`t like
Putin, but they are few. And they are Nationalists. On the Unity Day
they are marching in Moscow and it`s called «Russian Marches.» But
the Nationalist marches have been losing popularity in recent years.
Last year, only 400 people turned up and that is down from 25,000 in
2011.
Unity Day, held on November 4, was established in 2005 by President Vladimir Putin as a replacement for Soviet-era commemorations of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

President Donald Trump has been accused for “treason” after his summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Mr Trump was slammed for accepting the Kremlin leader`s assurance he did not meddle in US elections.
The New York Daily News ran the front page headline “Open treason” above a cartoon of Mr Trump shooting Uncle Sam while holding Vladimir Putin`s hand.
Mr Trump is the man MSM said will be gone before christmas last year. He is also the man MSM said will be impeached for a long time now. Treason is the only crime explicitly defined in the US Constitution, in section three of Article III.
«Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.»
In order to prosecute a case for impeachment, you have to have the underlying facts. Collusion is not the same as meddling, and using the term meddling to describe Russia`s attempts to influence U.S elections downplays the seriousness of the allegations.
Putin invited Robert Mueller to come to Russia and search for more evidence in this case, but it seems like he will refuse. Talk of impeachment began before Trump took office. Efforts began after a series of events in May 2017.
At the end of 2017, polls showed that more than 40 percent of Americans wanted Trump impeached. A December 2017 resolution of impeachment failed in the House by a 58-364 margin.
Immediately after Trump`s inauguration, The Independent and The Washington Post each reported on efforts already underway to impeach Trump, based on asserted conflicts of interest arising from Trump`s ability to use his political position to promote the interest of «Trump»-branded businesses, and ongoing payments by foreign entities to businesses within the Trump business empire as a violation of the Foreign emoluments Clause.
Following Trump`s dismissal of James Comey, multiple Democratic members of Congress discussed an “impeachment clock” for Trump, saying that he was “moving” toward impeachment and raising the future possibility of bringing forth articles of impeachment for obstruction of justice and criminal malfeasance, if proof of illegal activity were found.
President Trump fired FBI Director James Comey. An advance copy of Comey`s prepared congressional testimony was submitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee in which he said that the President attempted to persuade him to «let go» of any investigation into Michael Flynn.
This case brings me back to former President John F. Kennedy. A man who said he would break CIA into thousands of pieces. A man who very often talked about secret society`s, monolithic and ruthless conspiracy.
Wanted for Treason, is an infamous handbill circulated on November 21, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. That is one day before John F. Kennedy visited the city and was assassinated.
This handbill accused JFK for turning the U.S over to the communist controlled United Nations. They claimed he betrayed their friends like Cuba, Ketanga and Portugal.
JFK was accused for befriending enemies like Russia, Yugoslavia and Poland.
He has also been caught in fantastic LIES to the American people.
There are obviously many similarities between President Trump and JFK. Both of them lie. Both of them are accused for befriending America`s enemy; Russia. The handbill above is from 1963 and now we are facing the same.
Trumps attack on its own intelligence agencys is also what JFK did. He fired CIA`s spymaster Allen Dulles who was the darkest man on this planet. According to Politico, the CIA Director was part of the JFK assassination cover-up. John McCone was replaced by Lyndon Johnson and CIA even today say that McCone was withholding information from Warren Commission.
JFK came out with a warning in 1963. In his speech made by JFK before the American Newspaper Publishers Association, he warns the press about the secret societies that are the real power in global affairs.
Trump has said that the press is the people’s enemy nr one, and JFK uses the term “monolithic and ruthless conspiracy.” If the term “conspiracy” is good enough for President JFK, it`s good enough for everyone to use. Here is the relevant piece:
The title of the speech is “The President and the Press,” and it is dated April 27, 1961 at Waldof-Astoria Hotel. Audience: The American Newspaper Publishers Association.
Another cover-up is 9/11, and nobody belive in Robert Mueller`s Saudi-cover-up. Most of the people belive it is an inside job. Russian Intelligence know much of what`s going in the world today. If a kid can hack Pentagon, then the Russian`s can.
What if they gave Trump information about the “Foggy bottom” (state dept)? Did someone say treason?
The Oxford English Dictionary defines treason as: “The crime of betraying one`s country, expecially by attempting to kill or overthrow the sovereign or government.”

Thousands are protesting Trumps arrival in Europe. If you ask some of the protesters why they are protesting, they cant answer because they don`t really know. Whats strange to see is that nobody said something when dangerous dictators visited the U.K.
President Obama smashed all records and deported over 3 million immigrants in eight years. Did someone protest? Do someone know how many wars he started? Do someone know how many bombs he droped? Any protesters? All this from a man who received Nobel Peace Prize after only a few weeks at the White house. But people are protesting against Trump.
Dump Trump, Trump is a Nazi, Trump is a fascist, Trump is a racist, Trump is a sexist, Trump is a baby, Vote him out, Impeach 45, Trump targets children – dont hold his dirty little hands, Trump stinks, Trump hurts women and children, Trojan Trump, Trump will die, Trump is homophobe, Nobody likes you, No Trump - No war. Trump - Not welcome. Choose love. Thats a few of the posters made by the protesters.
What Trump has done with NATO is everything Obama dreamed of. So is it with North Korea`s dictator Kim Jong-un. He negotiated with him and made a deal. He is the first president to do so. He is making America great again. He is making the world a safer place. And people are protesting against him?
A YouGov/ITV Tonight poll released on Thursday last week found there was «broad support» for Trump among Britons. Around 50 percent think the visit should go ahead, compared with 37 percent who think the visit should be canceled. 13 percent said they didn`t know.
The poll is “noticeably higher than in previous YouGov polls that asked about a state rather than a working visit”, YouGov wrote in an analysis.
On Monday, Mr Trump had a summit with Putin, and what is happening? 12 Russians indicted for election hacking. And what a timing. Mr Trump have repeatedly said that there was no collusion, and it seems like Robert Muller has a big problem.
They have had 420 days of the Muller investigation with not one indictment connected to Russia and the Trump campaign. Its all smoke and mirrors. The 12 spies were spying, and thats their job. MSM said the summit with Putin was unsuccessful and that`s the opposite of what Putin said.
Former assistant Secretary of State Robert Charles said the summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin was a success. Trump made history. Again.

Silicon Valley are pushing hard to release driverless vehicles and we know Google is in front of that revolution. But they are not alone. Russia is also in front of that revolution, and President Vladimir Putin are highly supporting driverless vehicles.
Russia has launched their new driverless transportation buses at the World Cup in the city of Kazan, and Russia`s truck maker are showing the world their technology skills. So far, their unmanned vehicles are banned on the open road, so they will travel only 650 meters.
(KamAZ «shuttle» is a bus with the autopilot on electricity. It was first presented at the Moscow International Automobile Salon in 2016)
The truck maker is KAMAZ PJSC, which is co-owned by German automaker Daimler AG and Rostec. KAMAZ is taking the fans from Kazan`s meeting point to the Kazan Arena. The driverless buses will drive on an empty road with no traffic which is surrounded by a light fence to keep away animals and pedestrians.
KAMAZ demonstrated the first autonomous electric bus a few days ago, according to the company. The unmanned M2 category small-class SHATL (Wide Adaptive Transport Logistics) vehicle, developed by KAMAZ in cooperation with NAMI, is intended for hard-surface roads, using data from digital maps, navigation systems and technical vision organs.
«Electric and unmanned vehicles are currently amongst the main directions of development in Russian engineering industry», as stated by the general director of KAMAZ Sergei Kogogin. «SHATL is our latest development, upon the example of which, the main trends in car manufacturing may follow.
KAMAZ is only one of our unique driverless vehicle models. Specialists in KAMAZ are actively working on such models at the moment, within the framework of the development of intelligent transport systems.»
