Russian authorities support police handling of unsanctioned protest whilst organisers confirm accuracy of police estimate of numbers.

Alexey Navalny, the organiser of yesterday's unsanctioned protest in Moscow, and the person who called the protests elsewhere in Russia, has now been convicted by a Moscow court of organising an unsanctioned protest and has been ordered to pay a $350 fine.

This is part of the regular circus between the Russian authorities and Navalny. He pretends to be persecuted, and they pretend to punish him. In reality, though he now has two convictions for serious embezzlement as well as multiple public order offences - some minor, some less so - he remains free and continues exactly as before, with the authorities doing nothing to enforce the various sentences the Russian courts have imposed on him.

Alexey Navalny's campaign offices across Russia have called on the citizens to attend unsanctioned protests against Russia's Government. Peaceful protests, in Russia, require a permit from the cities' authorities to be able to account for any disruption. If no permit has been obtained, then the civil action is illegal.

Irrespective of this, over the past couple of days - protesters have gathered in Moscow, Ekaterinbug, Novosibirsk and other regional centers.

Apple Doesn't Fall Far from the Tree...

Navalny has obtained special training as part of his Yale University education, equipped to organise and carry out such operations with guaranteed funding. The civil unrest taking place throughout the country contains all the classic criteria of an "orange", "velvet', or "colour" revolution, which have been continually instigated by US intelligence services.

It is clear that not one "maidan" has ever resolved the problems that its respective country had - not in Yugoslavia, not in Tunisia, nor Ukraine. A 'maidan' achieves a government coup, the imposition of US-funded puppet leaders, genocide of the local population, and an overall throw back to the Middle Ages.

Moscow, 26 March 2017. Signs read "Sell your holiday homes, build us roads."
Is there more to the symbol of the duck than meets the eye?

In 2015, in Serbia, protesters and civic groups took to the streets of Belgrade clutching toy ducks to denounce a controversial government-backed project along the banks of the Sava river which they "feared will change the look of their city for ever."

Fake News Circus: How a few thousand people turned into 'ten-million-strong protest against Putin'

Russians rallied in central Moscow on Saturday
Two's company, three's a ten million person protest against Putin

The crowd-counters at unfortunate western news outlets have submitted their findings: "Millions all across Russia defied Putin" on Sunday, according to a very special news outlet that is frequented by Louise Menschand other disciples of Moloch.

We wish we were kidding, but we're not: According to U.S. media outlets, "millions" of Russians across Russia marched against "thug Putin" over the weekend:

Comment: According to the Russian Investigative Committee, the West's darling 'opposition activist' Aleksey Navalny organized the protests and went so far as to pay people (largely teen-aged) to show up. The West's Fake News Organs dutifully spun it into a 'million strong march against Putin' by some 'bold democratic hero'. But there weren't millions, there were a few thousand. And Navalny is no 'democratic hero' - Putin is, and that's why the West hates him. Rather, Navalny has been described as:
Liberal opposition activist? Navalny is a far right, racist, ultranationalist, anti-Semite, gun-nut, neoliberal twice convicted fraudster. But he's also pro-Western so who cares?
The Fake News circus continues.

Now that the dust has settled from today's "nationwide" protests, we can safely say that Navalny accomplished only one thing: He showed how popular Putin truly is

A transparent publicity stunt carried out by a xenophobic felon has somehow failed to overthrow one of the world's most popular leaders.

"I'm happy that so many people came out (onto the streets) from the east (of the country) to Moscow," Alexei Navalny said to a not-very-large crowd on Sunday morning, moments before he was arrested — which is exactly what he wanted.

Right wing groups attempt to bomb EU targets as Greek tragedy worsens

PAME burn a EU flag
© AP/Yorgos KarahalisSupporters of the communist-affiliated union PAME burn a EU flag during an anti-austerity rally in Athens, Wednesday, Mar. 1, 2017.

Last week, major financial institutions in Europe were put on notice when letter bombs were sent to the International Monetary Fund and the office of Germany's financial minister. Only one of those bombs exploded and injuries were minimal. But not-so-coincidentally, both of those bombs, as well as eight others that were intercepted just this week, all originated from the same country - Greece.

Now bearing the brunt of the ninth year of their country's debt crisis, some Greeks have come to see radical groups, such as those responsible for the letter bombs, as their only chance for having their voices heard by the European Union's technocratic bureaucracy. A major factor for the widespread disillusionment among the Greek populace has been the national government's continued ineffectiveness in the face of its nearly decade-long financial predicament - one that has decimated the economy, eroded pensions and caused surges in unemployment.

Indeed, since the crisis began, Greece has had nine different governments, at least thirteen austerity measures, severe capital controls and multiple bailouts - none of which have brought even a semblance of relief to the Hellenic Republic.

Kremlin airs out view on Russia's 'mass protests', Lavrov slams hypocritical Western reaction

The Kremlin respects the citizens' right to take part in rallies provided they are conducted in accordance with the law, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

When commenting on the protests that took place in a number of Russian cities on Sunday, he said that "the Kremlin respects people's civil position and their right to express it." "But we respect it when civil activism is expressed in accordance with the law and in places where the law prescribes," Peskov added.

He added that the Kremlin "cannot respect those who deliberately misguide people and who instigated these illegal activities yesterday." "We cannot respect those who deliberately misled underage minors promising them some payment in return for participating in an unauthorized protest, thereby exposing them to danger. We cannot accept, nor respect this," Peskov added.

Russian court sentences Navalny to 15 days in jail for resisting arrest

A Russian court has sentenced Russian opposition activist Aleksey Navalny to 15 days in jail for resisting arrest during an unsanctioned rally on Sunday. Earlier, he was found guilty of staging the protest, for which he will be fined 20,000 rubles ($350).

Aleksey Navalny was detained shortly after arriving at an unsanctioned anti-corruption protest in downtown Moscow on Sunday. He was charged with violating a law on public gatherings and faced a fine, community service, or administrative detention. He was also charged for resisting arrest during the same rally.

Navalny's defense will appeal both the administrative charge and the $350 fine, the activist's lawyer Olga Mikhaylova told journalists.

Comment: Further reading: Protests across Moscow & Russia are 'just a political show'
It is in fact highly doubtful that Navalny genuinely believes that he can win the Presidential election next year, or that he seriously aims to. However he has to show to his supporters and funders - both those in Russia, and more importantly, those in the West - that he is an active force in Russian politics and that he is providing some value for all the backing they are giving him. That leads him to make wild allegations against people like Medvedev, to announce a bid to stand in an election he cannot win, and to call a protest in Moscow and across Russia which on any objection assessment simply highlights the absence of widespread support for him.

It is this need to retain attention which explains why Navalny not only called the protest today but insisted on holding it in the form of an unsanctioned march along Tverskaya in central Moscow rather than in the various locations offered him. Through this act of seeming 'defiance' Navalny is able to strike a heroic (though fake) pose (since he knows nothing will actually be done to him), provoke conflict - including his own arrest - and disguise the fact that only a few thousand people turned up to support him (the police in Moscow put the number between 7,000 to 8,000) by mixing his supporters up with ordinary pedestrian traffic and the large number of onlookers who might normally be expected on a Sunday in what is Moscow's main and busiest thoroughfare.

Russia is calling on all forces fighting terrorism in Syria to coordinate their actions, including with Damascus, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday.

"We are calling on those who were invited by the legitimate government and those who are there without such invitation, but who declared fighting terrorists their goal, to coordinate their actions. This includes coordination with the Syrian government as well," he told a press conference.

The civil war in Syria has been lasting for around six years with government troops fighting against numerous opposition factions and terror organizations such as al-Nusra Front and Daesh, outlawed in Russia.

Surprised? UK govt using Westminster attack to snatch more spying powers

The British government is attempting to "use" the Westminster attack to gain unnecessary and intrusive surveillance powers, the Ministry of Defense (MoD)'s former cybersecurity chief has warned.

Major General Jonathan Straw says ministers are trying to use the terrorist incident last Wednesday to push for handing security services more powers, despite the weak case for it.

His comments come after Home Secretary Amber Rudd said it is"completely unacceptable" that authorities cannot look at the encrypted social media messages of attacker Khalid Masood on platforms such as WhatsApp.
