Mikhail Leontyev - about pests in the government and the triumph of Russia

36
October 7, on his birthday, Vladimir Putin was going to meet on the margins of the APEC summit with Barack Obama. But the crisis in his country prevented him from coming to Indonesia.

Did the efforts of our diplomacy really save Syria from the attack of the West? What is more necessary for America now - a new war in the Middle East or a partnership with Russia? And how strong is Russia itself to play a key role in global politics? We talked about this with the famous TV presenter and publicist Mikhail Leontyev. By the way, October 12 to our interlocutor and author of sharp speakers in AIF marks 55 years.

Jesuit politics

Vitaly Tseplyaev, AIF: Mikhail, you recently returned with armory exhibitions in Nizhny Tagil. Is our defense industry more alive than dead?

Mikhail Leontyev: She is not faster, but absolutely alive! We already have a completely different Armed Forces than 5 years ago. Some aircraft purchased for the army more than 600. Only the United States and China are purchasing more ... Yes, the rearmament program comes with tremendous difficulties, with a screech. But the defense industry is the only thing that lives in spite of that macroeconomic policy, which I consider completely Jesuit and moronic.

What's happening? It seems that the pests are in the government! In a crisis, overestimate the price of the loan, reduce liquidity, wildly overestimate the rate of the national currency can only crazy. In the world, zero rates, we have destroyed the loan market, the loan is available only to privileged recipients. With inflation we are struggling with monetary methods, although this is the inflation of costs that monopolists generate. In Russia, an insane exchange rate policy: if you have a real exchange rate of the ruble with an open economy increases 4 times, you do not need anything else to strangle your own industry.

Russia is still the largest exporter of hydrocarbons. So far, because soon the shale will make such an exporter the United States. But our domestic gas prices are already higher than American. Electricity prices for industry in 3 increased by 80%. We do not have a single department that would be responsible for the competitiveness of the economy! And she falls. And the government arrogantly, shamelessly lies about the "exhaustion of sources of growth." Revenues are declining - it is necessary to cut expenses, and the paw is pulled towards the only source of growth and modernization - towards the defense industry.

While it is possible to somehow defend. The political leadership has an understanding that this is the only working mechanism of growth, and qualitative growth ... After all, we in the defense industry have already created even what the Soviet Union could not. The Bulava missile, for all its problems, will definitely be brought to the end, and this will be a strategic containment resource for 40-50 years. Next is the 5 generation fighter. Today, only two countries in the world - the United States and Russia - can make such planes ... I would pay attention to the words of Dmitry Rogozin: he said that one of the main goals of huge investments in the defense industry is the development of new technologies, which will inevitably flow over on the citizen. That, in essence, the purpose of the State Arms Program is the new industrialization of Russia.

Mikhail Leontyev - about pests in the government and the triumph of Russia


Uncontrollable chaos

- Let's move from our defense successes to diplomatic. The intervention of the West in Syria, the efforts of Russia finally pushed?

- The intervention in Syria is ongoing. All neighboring countries, including Israel, are the source of such intervention. And it's not just about supplying weapons and training militants. We are talking about the actions of special forces that work there - all know this.

But direct external hits are really pushed back. The agreement reached on the chemical disarmament of Syria is rightly perceived as Russia's foreign policy triumph. And then everything played a role - both our military-technical support of Syria, and our significant presence there fleet, and, by the way, the state of our Armed forces. A country that does not have its military potential does not have foreign policy triumphs by definition!

The situation with the United States has changed. With all the tremendous pressure of the cargo of the former American geopolitics, Obama, in general, is looking for a reason to refuse it. He understands the responsibility for the preservation of the country, and the country is burdened with unbearable obligations to maintain its total domination. And the only way for America to get out of the systemic crisis, in which the American model of the world is, is to negotiate. And America is ready to negotiate for the first time in many years. And with Russia, and with Iran. And with whom else to negotiate with her in the region, where it is necessary to stabilize the situation? Not with Qatar! Qatar can be simply closed with an order from British Petroleum - like some factory ...

- As far as a strike on Syria is still likely?

- It is possible at any time. First of all, Obama is very vulnerable in his policy: America is in a rather difficult condition, his desire to demolish is immense. And provocations against Assad are almost inevitable. Even no new charges will be required: Assad has already been declared a villain. And this is a problem. America is a totalitarian ideological country, if Assad was declared a villain, they cannot refuse it. Although there was almost no more adequate, restrained, tolerant, and European-educated politician in the region. He will be more tolerant than Merkel or Cameron ...

Go home

- Do you understand the logic of the Americans? They are fighting with Al-Qaeda together with the Syrian authorities - the one who showed America the gospel of 11 of September 2001. Not bad, sorry, Washington to make an alliance with the terrorists?

- American politics is absolutely cynical. Terrorists, according to this policy, can be bad or good. But the problem is not even that. Yes, we have many reasons to believe that the September 11 attacks, and, by the way, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, were part of a political plan that allowed us to solve American problems. The “opening” of so many states that interfered with certain forces and interests was ensured precisely by the terrorists ...

But it's time for us to stop evaluating American politics from a moral standpoint. It is really beneficial for us to save America, it is beneficial for America to return from absurdity to healthy cynicism.

Even 10, even 5 years ago, no deals for the United States were possible. They could then have either enemies or satellites. Enemies are targets, and satellites are servants with whom no deals are made. Now they feel the need to negotiate, tack. Feel the need for deals. The situation has changed due to the crisis. After all, America is taking tremendous steps to find a way out of this crisis, it is reindustrializing, robotizing, and returning production to its territory at a tremendous pace. Gas prices in the US are lower in 3 than in Europe, and electricity in 2 is cheaper. Imagine what a competitive advantage! But still this is not enough: in order to get out of that colossal macroeconomic loop into which they themselves have driven, they need to drastically reduce their external obligations. Just "go home."

- Stop being a “world gendarme”? By the way, many countries have their own stable image: China is a “world factory”, Switzerland is a “world safe”, etc. And what image, what role should Russia strive for? What services or values ​​can we offer to humanity? In addition to excellent weapons, of course ...

- World conscience. We can offer God to humanity. Which the Western world cannot offer to himself, because he has become disgusting to him. We can and must offer the world a social model, a project of a social structure that would resolve the intractable and incompatible with life contradictions of the current model. This is a political, social, and economic structure. And it will be the new device, we can not pull this model out of the past: it is not there ...

      That's right: it's not enough for the President to introduce his own people and the government, but all strangers need to be thrown out, and the lamentations about who will work are just from the camp of supporters of the government betraying the interests of the country. That we have few honest professionals, but they are patriots and that is why the passage to the government is closed for them by the so-called pro-Western "professionals", but they are professionals only to destroy! It's time to ask these "woe - rulers" for everything!

      Yet his mind strangely ends with a criticism of power. I remember after Putin’s direct line on this site and on it. However, unexpectedly they began to tell the harsh truth about the authorities and get pluses for it) So Leontiev wrote an article that same evening where he called all critics clowns and pseudo-patriots) Apparently, according to Leontyev, the patriot is the one who loves power and not Russia, like himself.

    After all, we in the defense industry have already created even what the Soviet Union could not.

    At the MAKS-2013 Mikhail Leontyev drove nya Yak-130. Apparently from the impressions received, Mikhail fell into euphoria and, while continuing to remain in an ecstatic-silly state, decided that he was an expert in the field of defense and weapons. We created a mace ... And in the Union they apparently planned to send nuclear warheads to America with the help of a large slingshot.

    Speaking of America. No less enthusiastic conclusions are drawn with the appearance of a connoisseur and specialist about the Yak-130, touched by Leontyev’s concern for the United States:
    It is really beneficial for us to save America, it is beneficial for America to return from the absurd to healthy cynicism.

    Even 10, even 5 years ago, no deals were possible for the United States .... The situation has changed due to the crisis. After all, America is taking tremendous steps to find a way out of this crisis, it is at a rapid pace of reindustrialization, robots, and returns production to its territory. Gas prices in the USA are 3 times lower than in Europe, and electricity is 2 times cheaper. Imagine what a competitive advantage it is! But still this is not enough: in order to get out of that colossal macroeconomic loop into which they drove themselves, they need to drastically reduce their external obligations. Simply "go home."


    I remember the Americans were glad that the USSR was bogged down in Afghanistan. But the Americans are not Leontief.
    Well, the last paragraph of the article is generally a song
    What services or values ​​can we offer humanity? In addition to excellent weapons, of course ...

    - World conscience. We can offer God to humanity. Which the Western world cannot offer to himself, because he has become disgusting to him. We can and must offer the world a social model, a project of a social structure that would resolve the intractable and incompatible with life contradictions of the current model. This is a political, social, and economic structure. And it will be the new device, we can not pull this model out of the past: it is not there ...


    So here ... Russia is a world conscience. The Russian leadership will offer the world salvation and a new model ...
    The features of this model and the presence of conscience in our leadership are clearly visible on the example of the domestic policy of the Russian state. How will Putin offer GOD mankind if he cannot be divine about his population? Apparently as always; with the help of public relations, propaganda and correct, intelligent speeches, for the verbosity of which there is no sense and content.

      After the collapse of the USSR and the destruction of social structures, it turned out that they were the most correct in the world with us. According to the USSR principle, they were introduced in Europe. And in our case, in the complete absence of social justice and economic disruption, where will such an ideal social model come from? Who will invent it? And how should it earn from us with such corruption? Moreover, how can it be offered to the world without practical application? What is he talking about? Wants to invent a bicycle? So everything was invented for a long time and worked until the pro-Westerners ruined the system.

    Maybe I don’t understand something, but when I don’t understand something, I’m just scared. Why Russia is pumping half of its reserves into America, America holds a zero refinancing rate, allowing its economy to grow, and we do not allow our economy to develop, although we have all the opportunities.

    Quote:
    In this regard, the position of the Russian authorities is alarming. The US technical default does not bear any risks for the Russian economy, Treasury Secretary Anton Siluanov said on Wednesday, October 16. “We do not have such short papers, there will be no consequences for us if this, as you say, default occurs. But I hope that all the same the parties will agree: the presidential administration and congress will come to a common decision, ”Siluanov said, speaking at the RIA Novosti news agency. That is, judging by the statement by Siluanov, the government will not reduce the investments of the Reserve Fund and the National Welfare Fund in US government bonds.

    By the way, the other day, Minister Siluanov supported the American "printing press" at a conference held after the meeting of G-20 finance ministers. He said that even against the background of a possible US default and a flared up budget crisis, the structure of investments in Russia's foreign exchange reserves will not undergo any changes - the state debt securities of the USA both accounted for and will account for 45% of all funds in the “oil and gas capsule”. Thus, Siluanov, a student of former Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin, expressed an unshakable faith in the US dollar and the stability of the US financial system.

    And he is not alone: ​​on Wednesday in the State Duma, the first deputy chairman of the Central Bank, Ksenia Yudaeva, said that the Bank of Russia would also not reduce the investment of its foreign exchange reserves in American government securities. “Obviously, US Treasury bonds are the most risk-free asset. In principle, even after this situation (technical default), it will still remain the most risk-free, ”Yudaeva said.

    “It feels like the Russian financial authorities are trying to curry favor with Washington - they are so sincere and convincing in their support of the US dollar,” says Vladislav Zhukovsky, senior economist at Rikom Financial Group. - Before the conference of G-20 finance ministers ended, Siluanov had already reported on the faith of the Russian government in the power of the American printing press. Moreover, as far as one can judge, he did this without any consultation with the country's leadership. It turns out that either the Medvedev’s government is completely unanimous on this issue, or the real power in Russia belongs not to the chairman of the government, or even to the president of the country, but to the leadership of the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank. One gets the feeling that the Russian Minister of Finance received valuable instructions at the summit of G-20 finance ministers and voiced exactly what they wanted to hear from him in Washington. He acted as a conductor of the interests of the strategic competitor of Russia - the United States. More specifically, the US Federal Reserve - a private corporation controlled by the largest banks of Wall Street and the City of London, acting as the central bank and monopolizing the right to issue the American dollar - the key reserve currency.

      Because we do not have the full sovereignty that was lost during the defeat in the Cold War in 1991. Russia has become a colony and pays tribute.
      The restoration of sovereignty is very slow. There is a struggle within the government.
      In the government there are both patriots of statesmen (Rogozin) and frank American agents (Livanov).

      But our domestic gas prices are already higher than American. Electricity prices for industry rose 3% over 80 years. We do not have a single agency that would be responsible for the competitiveness of the economy! And she is falling. And the government is brazenly lying shamelessly about the "exhaustion of sources of growth." Incomes are reduced - it is necessary to cut costs, and the paw reaches out to the only source of growth and modernization - to the defense industry.

    Weak conscience is needed, and we were already the defenders of the weak - Serbs, Bulgarians, Georgians, Ukrainians, and how they paid back for the help and victims.

    I read somewhere that GDP is starting to turn to its own country! Even so, it hurts slowly! Knowing what is going on in Russia with banks, state-owned companies where taxes go away are the same Augean stables!

    The question is how to replace these pests with non-pests?

    ... either the real power in Russia does not belong to the chairman of the government, and not even to the president of the country, but to the leadership of the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank.

    ..that the Russian finance minister received valuable guidance at the G-20 finance ministers summit, and voiced exactly what they wanted to hear from him in Washington. He acted as a kind of conductor of interests ...


    .. correctly, the US Federal Reserve (and companies).

    Quote: Jarilo

    ... monopolized the right to issue the American dollar - the key reserve currency.


    The issue of the dollar is a tribute paid by the whole world (..one of the Jewish goals).

    Those who tried to jump out of this dollar bondage .. "rolled out": Iraq (Hussein), Libya (Gaddafi), the rest have clearly demonstrated that they will have big problems, both external and internal, while trying to "get rid of the dollar."

    and Russia is no exception (the Central Bank of Russia does not belong to the state -... similarly, and the US Federal Reserve).

    For your information:
    Ben Shalom Bernanke (born December 13, 1953, Augusta, Georgia) is an American economist of Jewish descent, chairman of the board of governors of the US Federal Reserve (since February 2006), chairman of the board of economic experts at the White House ..

    so, everything is "normal" and nothing really surprising ...

      Well, Russia cannot be rolled out externally, it can only be done internally, through a liberal cabinet.
      And so that this would not happen, the entire pro-American cabinet in its entirety should be replaced by a new pro-state, pro-Russian one.

    Quote: It seems that pests have settled in the government! Every Russian citizen agrees with this thesis. Due to thoughtless policies, rampant corruption, billions of state rubles (taken from the people as a tax) go into the pockets of crooks. In this case, to the question, where to find the money (they stole a lot), the officials answer: mothers need to be taken away from their mothers. This despite the fact that the population of Russia is rapidly declining. The main Russia is not NATO and the United States, but domestic bureaucracy.

    To offer something, you must have it. What can Russia offer the rest of the world except the postulates of a market economy, which, incidentally, it itself borrowed from the West, but has not been able to use them correctly? Where is the new model of social structure that Russia, according to Leontyev, “can and should” present to the world for testing? Netuti. Although the need for her - Mikhail is right - has long matured.

About the economy, he correctly pushed aside that we have cost inflation and credit with fabulous percentages ...

    “Maybe I don’t understand something, but when I don’t understand something, I’m just scared. Why does Russia pump half of its reserves to America, America keeps a zero refinancing rate, allowing its economy to develop, and we do not allow our economy to develop, although we have all the possibilities. "

    In the world, the process of destruction of the European model of state and law, inherited from the colonial centuries, is taking place more and more. The introduction of the European model of social order in the colonized countries allowed Europeans from the Middle Ages to begin the first project of "globalization" aimed at obtaining preferences by European countries by expanding the capitalist system of their countries to the colonized ones. It was the constant expansion of the colonialists that allowed them to expand markets, providing themselves with cheap resources, and the industry with orders. This paradigm no longer works, and it is clear that this expansion was not spontaneous. Quite specific banking and oligarchic structures received benefits from it. It was these structures that received power due to their own success. Over time, their power expanded and turned into a supranational one. Their concessions became the foundations for 21st century corporations. These corporations have supranational influence, in fact, being "above" countries and above the laws. They now have control over the production and distribution of energy, food, and other civilizational benefits. Today's Russia is completely in this system, with all the consequences ... Putin can do little here, at least quickly. The fight here will be difficult, of course the presence of a strong will and determination. The only serious enemy was the Soviet Union created by Stalin, which could not be destroyed with the help of fascist aggression, but nevertheless destroyed in 91 as a result of the betrayal of the elites. As Philip the Macedonian said, "A donkey laden with gold will take any fortress."

      The only thing that prevents transnational corporations from gaining direct power over people all over the planet is the remnants of national authorities and institutions. That is, we have a transnational corporate-oligarchic elite who wants to destroy the national authorities and processes for the real destruction of national authorities in the world, hence the desire to undermine the credibility of the authorities in Africa, the destruction of Libya. Then in the Middle East. These processes will undoubtedly lead the society of these regions to a more atomized, clanish state. Thus, the European model of the state that existed in these regions for only 50 - 80 years will be completely destroyed. Considering the situation of undermining the American people's faith in power, which is now taking place around raising the ceiling of public debt, it can be stated that those launched in the EU, Africa and BV processes will cover other regions with an established European model of democracy. These are the USA itself and the American continents as a whole, this is Asia - Oceania and Russia.
      To move from the system of state structure according to the European model to a new world order based on the direct power of corporations by controlling the production and distribution of food, energy and other benefits. People will only be numbers in their equations. How many billions of them will “fit” into their equations, and how many will not fit - it will no longer matter to them - the number of subjects of the rudiment of the uninstalled European model, in the new world, power will have direct control, and the number of workers needed to service the power rests only on the ability of robots to self-replicate and self-repair. Thus, in the distant future, there is simply no place for ordinary workers on earth.

      So, we have a scheme clearly built by the global corporate oligarchy, tuned to gradually reduce the working population to zero. Simply put, the goal of the project is not power, but genocide. The refusal of power over people to obtain super-consumption by the elite, to serve the super-needs of the elite by robots, which are much easier to manage.
      . In Russia, the resistance of the world oligarchy is actively blocked by a pro-Atlantic, but actually pro-oligarchic, elite group with the help of the dominance of liberal ideas at all administrative levels of the country. This elite decided that they would invite her to enter a new world, and she would become the chosen one. She does not understand that they are using it, and, of course, they will be thrown when she finishes her work on the collapse of state power in Russia.

    Our forgetfulness is simply surprising: remember the time when Gaidaro-Chubaisovskaya kodla talked that there are too many people in Russia, enough 50-70 million to service the subsoil. And for that alone they had to be quartered, and their followers are still in the government ! And what do you expect from "non-humans" who hate their people and their homeland so fiercely!
