Russia taking steps to prepare for "perfect storm" in global economy

Head of VTB Andrey Kostin meets with Putin to discuss Russia's economic resilience

Translated by Ollie Richardson & Angelina Siard

In recent months Russia, as some claim, "strenuously prepared for Putin's meeting with Trump". What does this mean?

Firstly, in April the Central Bank of the Russian Federation dumped nearly a half of US Treasuries that it had on its balance, having reduced their stock from $96.2 billion to $48.7 billion.

In May the Central Bank continued to do this, having reduced the quantity of treasuries on its balance even more.

Certain news agencies only emphasised that Russia dropped out of the list of the largest holders of treasuries, having noted that this "is less than $30 billion". They use students in these news agencies, and as a result such "news" appears.

Having read the full report of US Department of the Treasury, it is easy to see that the size of the Russian investments in treasuries was reduced to $14.9 billion.

Comment: The sad truth of the matter is that no matter how much effort Trump puts into strengthening the US economy, its strength is much like a house of cards - with multiple structural weaknesses that have existed for going on many years now. Leaders like Putin, Xi, Rouhani etc. understand this and are actively working to make their countries resilient in the face of what will likely be a very large downturn in the world economy, and the value of the dollar in particular.

Damning: James Comey and Andrew McCabe set out to destroy Iraq War veteran turned FBI agent who informed them of widespread FBI corruption

True Pundit
Wed, 01 Aug 2018 00:00 UTC

When Iraq War veteran turned FBI Agent Omar Montoya sent FBI Director James Comey a letter detailing widespread corruption within the Bureau, Comey quickly took action. And tried to ruin Montoya.

Did Comey try to clean up the FBI and right the wrongs Montoya spelled out in his detailed letter? If you read Comey's book - where he talks about integrity and leadership - the answer would appear to be yes, Comey righted the wrongs of the wayward FBI.

But unlike Comey's book and his public persona, Comey did the opposite. The FBI director moved to crush Montoya - even at one point moving to have him indicted - as a threat to the FBI, according to well-placed FBI sources.

Montoya is still in the FBI, assigned to its New Haven. Connecticut field office. Comey has since been fired.

This story has no fairytale ending where Montoya emerged unscathed from Comey's wrath, carried out by then FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and his winged monkeys.

Comment: It should not come as any surprise that many of these same characters have been involved in trying to destroy Trump. As this article reminds us, the FBI has been, and remains, a deeply corrupt institution that exists mostly to serve itself and the pathological types who sit in its positions of power - much to the detriment of those with integrity and good intentions - and to the US as a whole.

Protests erupt in Iran over country's economic problems

RT
Thu, 02 Aug 2018 20:04 UTC

About half a dozen Iranian cities have seen people take to the streets to protest against the country's deteriorating economy and worsening living conditions, IRNA reported on Thursday.

The Islamic Republic News Agency reported unauthorized rallies in the city of Shiraz, capital of the southern Iranian province of Fars. The news outlet also said that there were a few clashes between the protesters and the police but the city streets were calm at the moment.

The Tasnim News Agency said that protests were also held in the city of Mashhad in the north-east of the country, while other media reported protests in the cities of Isfahan, about 250 miles south of the country's capital and the city of Karaj just outside Tehran.

Comment: Clearly Iran's economic problems are in large part because of the ongoing embargo on the country so any complaints about the state of the economy should be directed towards the West and its allies. But then, as has historically been the case with these kinds of protests, while they may involve citizens with legitimate concerns, they're often subverted by nefarious Western organizations with the aim of destabilizing the country to the benefit of the West:

Saudi-led coalition mercilessly bombs Yemen hospital killing 52, injuring over 100

RT
Fri, 03 Aug 2018 09:31 UTC

A woman displaced from Hodeidah with her son.

An airstrike launched by the Saudi-led coalition has reportedly killed at least 26 people and injured dozens of civilians in the vicinity of a general hospital in Hodeidah, Yemen.

Footage from the scene of the alleged bombing shown by Yemen's Almasirah television station, which is linked to the Houthi rebels, showed what appeared to be bodies of multiple people covered by blankets.

The bombing destroyed an ambulance as it was entering the gates of the hospital, local freelance journalist Ahmad Algohbary reported.

Algohbary said the hospital was targeted when people injured in an earlier attack on a fishing market were being brought there. Reuters sites local medical sources as saying that 26 people were killed and 35 others injured on Thursday in coalition attacks on Hudaydah port and the fishing market.

Comment: The Saudi's deny responsibility but they have admitted to intensifying strikes on the area in an attempt to shut down the port, which is a lifeline for Yemen, and the merciless bombing of hospitals (and schools and vital infrastructure) is the hallmark of Western backed wars in the Middle East so it's likely a member of the callous coalition:

Italy's interior minister scapegoated over divisive immigration policies

teleSUR
Thu, 02 Aug 2018 23:58 UTC

Salvini's policies are "distilling a very serious and worrisome xenophobia and an obvious disregard for human life and dignity," said Podemos' spokeswoman Aurora Ribot.

Mallorca, the famous Spanish Balearic island, has declared Italy's far-right interior minister Matteo Salvini a persona non grata, due to his anti-immigrant policies.

In a motion presented by the left-wing party Podemos and the Socialist Party Balearic Islands branch (PSIB) that was approved by the island's authorities, Salvini will not be allowed to enter the popular island.

Comment: Perhaps the attacks don't have as much to do with Salvini's policies as they do with the provocation of tensions between societies due to immigration policies in an already tenuous economic situation.

Philippines won't stop buying Russian arms over US pressure - FM

RT
Thu, 02 Aug 2018 00:00 UTC

The Philippines won't stop purchasing weapons from Moscow, despite possible pressure from the US, the nation's foreign minister has said in response to reports that Washington may introduce sanctions for arms deals with Russia.

"I don't think that we will give it up," Alan Peter Cayetano said Thursday in Singapore at his meeting with Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov.

"It will actually by a test of our resolve for an independent foreign policy. I don't see us wavering from that," Cayetano stressed.

The two nations signed a military cooperation agreement last year, and the Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte had personally overseen the transfer of about 5,000 Kalashnikov assault rifles donated by Moscow.

Behind closed doors, intel officials are for shutting out Brennan and Clapper

Lee Smith
RealClear Investigations
Thu, 02 Aug 2018 00:00 UTC

President Trump has been criticized for politicizing the intelligence community by threatening to strip the security clearances of former top officials including John Brennan and James Clapper. But numerous past and present senior intelligence officials say the Obama administration started that politicization -- and revoking the clearances of those who abuse the privilege for partisan purposes may help right the ship.

"As is often the case with the Trump administration, the rollout of the policy is bad, but the idea driving the policy is sound," said one senior intelligence official who, like others interviewed for this article, spoke to RealClearInvestigations only on condition of anonymity. "Under some Obama-era intelligence chiefs, intelligence was used as a political weapon. We need to root that out, not reward it."

It is not clear if the White House is moving forward on Trump's threats last month to revoke those clearances. After Brennan's continued media attacks on Trump following the Helsinki summit with President Vladimir Putin of Russia, Sen. Rand Paul advised the president to strip him of his clearance. The White House did not respond to requests for comment.

Comment: Privileges, such as security clearances, are not owned by the recipient. That Clapper, Brennan, and others, have abused this trust speaks not only to the flaws in the system, but also their willingness to break their oaths to the administration and US citizens they profess to serve.

George Galloway: UK Labour cruising towards a split over Israel-Palestine

George Galloway
RT
Wed, 01 Aug 2018 15:42 UTC

Britain's Labour Party prepares to split; the Israel-Palestine issue breaks up the party after 100 years to the relief of Prime Minister Theresa May. At least that's the proximate cause of the rapidly approaching schism in the opposition Labour Party.

Attempts to effectively outlaw existential criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu's Israel have foundered on the rocks of the obduracy of the veteran Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn whose commitment to the Palestinian cause has been a leitmotif of his 40 years in left-wing politics.

Support for the Palestinians and opposition to Israel has grown massively in recent decades in Britain and throughout the Western world. The recent decision after a passionate debate in the Irish Senate to ban the products of illegal Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territories was a high point for the BDS (Boycott Divestment and Sanctions) movement. And this decision preceded the new controversial National Law passed in the Israeli Knesset, which UN bodies and others have said makes Israel officially an apartheid state, giving a spur to the BDS cause. Widespread ostracism of apartheid South Africa was an important factor in the downfall of the system in South Africa.

But Israel is far from taking these defeats lying down. The Israeli embassy in London is a vital center for counter-offensives, Ambassador Mark Regev a key operative in Netanyahu's machine. That Israel chose to send Regev to London was an early sign of the importance of the UK battleground.

Comment: Divide and conquer? A plan within a plan? Israel is attempting political surgery to remove Corbyn - knowing without their anchor, his followers would be less influential. May and company will cheer from the sidelines and throw gratitude at Israel's undermining politics in England and eliminating Corbyn to their benefit.

Netanyahu boldly threatens Tehran with 'all Israel's arms' if key waterway off Yemen is blocked

RT
Thu, 02 Aug 2018 09:53 UTC

Benjamin Netanyahu has lashed out at Israeli arch-regional foe Iran, vowing that any attempt by Tehran to block the key waterway off Yemen's coast would be met by force from the "international coalition" and Israel in particular.

The harsh statements by the Israeli PM, who was speaking at a graduation ceremony for naval officers on Wednesday, were referring to the recent Houthi attack on a Saudi oil tanker off Yemen's western coast. The Saudi-led coalition has repeatedly said the Houthis are armed and supported by Iran, but both the group and Tehran deny the claims.

Yet, Netanyahu branded the incident "a sharp clash with Iran's satellites who tried to sabotage international shipping" at the mouth of the Red Sea. The Saudi-led coalition insists that its oil tanker was attacked by the Houthis in the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait located between Yemen and Eritrea and Djibouti on the Arabian Peninsula.

Nobody was injured and the damage posed no threat to the environment.

"If Iran tries to block the Straits of Bab al-Mandab, it will find itself facing an international coalition determined to prevent it from doing so, and this coalition will also include the State of Israel and all its arms," Netanyahu warned.

Comment: It's about message not facts. Israel is a pro at using any instance or circumstance to push home its threats, relevant or not, and in doing so implicates/obligates for other nations to support its unsubstantiated paranoia.

Trump thanks Kim for sending home remains of US soldiers, a promise to meet soon

RT
Thu, 02 Aug 2018 14:17 UTC

US President Donald Trump thanked North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for handing over the remains of dozens of US soldiers who died during the Korean War, adding that he received a "nice letter" from Kim and hopes to see him soon.

Trump, who used to refer to Kim Jong-un as "little rocket man," showed his gratitude by praising the North Korean leader in a tweet.

"Thank you to Chairman Kim Jong-un for keeping your word and starting the process of sending home the remains of our great and beloved missing fallen!" The president also said he was "not at all surprised" that Kim "took this kind action." Trump also thanked Kim Jong-un for his "nice letter" and said that he looks forward to "seeing him soon."

In late July, Pyongyang handed over the remains of dozens of US soldiers who died during in the 1950-1953 Korean War. The symbolic move was welcomed by Trump, who expressed his gratitude to Kim.

The gesture, which coincided with the 65th anniversary of the Korean War, was part of an agreement reached by Trump and Kim during their landmark summit in Singapore in June.

Comment: Validation of cooperation?
